A few people ran up and down the mountain for two days, made a preliminary plan, and then mobilized a group of disaster victims to come and dig.
Even the caves have good and bad ones, and first come first served. These disaster victims are quite proactive.
While digging here and planning there, this small hill can be fully utilized and can accommodate about two thousand people, which is enough to accommodate all the stranded people.
The weather was already cold, and everyone moved here one after another while digging. At noon, they cooked porridge and cooked food nearby. The laborers could also record their working hours, and they could get a small bowl of rice for each working hour.
Tasks such as cooking and collecting firewood were also assigned to women, the elderly and children, and were recorded as half a working hour.
And if we really get together, we will find that there are actually quite a few craftsmen among the victims, each with their own specialties.
Some people took cut down trees and crossed them together, then covered them with a layer of mud to make a house. They also put on straw mats and the house was no worse than a cave. Some people borrowed a few nearby trees, tied ropes and covered them with mud to make a house. The house was sturdy, beautiful, and brighter than a cave.
There was also a young man who built a tree house directly on an existing tree. Although it was a little smaller, it looked very exquisite.
Yan Shiyue couldn't hold back his curiosity and went up to take a look himself.
The young man actually used the branches of the tree house to make a table and chairs using the upper branches. He also covered the wall with straw to make a couch. It was like a small room of a few square meters. Although it was small, it had everything you need. There was even a small window on the side!
...
...
Yan Shiyue was very impressed: "That's great." She jumped down from the tree: "You are really amazing."
The young man's face was red all the way to his ears: "No, nothing, I don't have any tools, otherwise I can do better."
Yan Shiyue said: "After a while, when everyone has settled down, you can build a few tree houses for me."
The young man kowtowed with great joy and said, "Thank you, Lady Fu. I will do my best."
Yan Shiyue motioned Jiaheji to go to this person, and then walked out. The third prince was waiting for her in the leeward place, leaning against a tree, and said lazily: "It's just a tree house, what's so good about it? Let's go, I'm starving."
He really couldn't understand why she was interested in everything and had to study everything? She even wanted to touch a tree house with her own hands. If you really want something like this, just tell someone to make it. There are many craftsmen who can make it a hundred times more exquisite than this one.
Yan Shiyue and the Third Prince had been in this atmosphere of "I think you're a fool, and you think I'm a fool too" since the first day, but the Third Prince had always been able to humble himself and had never argued with her.
The two went back to eat.
There is only one small village near this mountain, which was requisitioned by them because it is about ten miles away from the capital. If you don't want to run back and forth, you can rest here.
As soon as the two of them returned, hot water, hot tea, hot dishes and hot meals were all served.
Yan Shiyue felt that the servants were like the master. The servants of the Fourth Prince were all cold-faced, never spoke two words if possible, and did things as strictly followed the rules as if measured by a ruler.
The servants of the Third Prince were all good-looking, sweet-mouthed, and very attentive to others. During the first two days, she said, "They are drinking porridge while we are eating meat. Isn't it a bit unpleasant to hear the smell?"
Then the next day, the strong-smelling fried dishes on the table were gone, and were replaced mostly by dried meat or soups cooked in advance.
To be honest, she felt extremely guilty for eating meat just a few feet away from the disaster victims. She despised herself, but at the same time she thought... Oh, it was really delicious! Especially when she was tired after running all day, it tasted especially good.
After dinner, she took off her apron. Yes, she had made a big robe to use as an apron for eating, to block the smell. Then she rinsed her mouth frantically.
The third prince who had successfully dragged the revolutionary fighter into the abyss of depravity laughed at her: "Look at you, you keep trying to cover up your mistakes. Is that interesting? You are a princess, so what's wrong with eating some meat?"
"No, this is not good." She said bitterly, "The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets!"
The third prince burst into laughter: "Then don't eat it next time."
She said, "If you don't bring it, I won't eat it! If you bring it, then eat it. Why should I watch you?"
The third prince smiled and said, "Then I will bring less next time, just enough for me to eat."
"That won't work! If you only bring one person, you have to give me half. Think about why I'm here! Don't you have any regrets?"
Such conversations happen every day and are so childish.
The third prince also found it a little funny and laughed while lying on the table.
She really despises herself, but she also really wants to eat. She complains every day that he drags her into this, but she doesn't really quit. Her conflicted look is very funny.
No matter what, this girl is much better than the Fourth Prince. Who doesn't have a desire for food?
He yawned: "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore, I'm going to take a nap."
"No," she immediately grabbed his sleeve and said, "Let's go out and work! Don't you feel guilty if you don't work harder after eating such delicious food?"
The third prince laughed repeatedly and was pulled out by her.
It took me half a month to successfully create a rough outline of this place.
Building this kind of underground cave looks simple, but in fact there are many little tricks, such as how to prevent collapse, how to protect against wind and snow, and even how to protect against rain and wild animals, as well as the chimney for burning fires, how to disperse the smoke and how to keep warm at the same time, all are well planned.
The caves can accommodate three to seven people, depending on their size, in different groups.
The Third Prince’s people had registered it, but Yan Shiyue discovered that the one made by the craftsmen themselves was more detailed and intuitive, because they drew it directly according to the locations, and when pieced together, it represented the distribution of the caves in the entire mountain.
Yan Shiyue asked someone to copy this onto a piece of paper, and then marked the people and situations in each cave, for example, whether they were a family or a single person, and simply noted the situation.
When the Third Prince saw the picture, he felt like he had found a treasure. He begged her with a drooling face, "Yuer, give me this picture. I will go back and report to my father."
“Okay.” Yan Shiyue had no intention of taking credit for it. If the Third Prince handed it over, Emperor Ming Yan would be happier, so she gave it to him.
The Third Prince warned him worriedly, "Don't let anything slip. I will thank you very much and give you a box of gems when I return!"
Yan Shiyue was too lazy to pay attention to him and nodded.
Then the third prince left excitedly with the map.
Yan Shiyue asked someone to copy another one and quietly called Zhao Kuangyin over.
She showed him the picture directly: "Do you know what I want you to do?"
Zhao Kuangyin took a look and understood immediately: "Your Highness is worried that the situation here is difficult to control? Then, Your Highness wants to plant a few people in? Or recruit a few people to use?"
"Yes," Yan Shiyue felt that she had indeed picked up a treasure: "I want to understand and control the situation here in time. How about I pick a few people to work and you go and talk to them first?"
Zhao Kuangyin bowed anxiously and asked: "Your Highness, why bother with such a small matter? Just leave it to me!"
