The two leaders, along with the returning youths, some women, and children, arrived at the place where water continuously flowed. People were tirelessly transporting water in buckets to the surrounding canals. No longer constrained by any rules, the water surged like a flood, flowing through every corner of the channels.
At the same time, Yun Xiao Yi and Zhao Yun visited Xing Zhuang Village. Eventually, they returned to the source of the endless water. Observing the figures laboring diligently under the scorching heat, it became evident that compared to the future era of advanced productivity, the people during the Eastern Han period lived in exceptionally difficult circumstances. When faced with natural disasters or negligence, devastation ensued, leaving the populace in despair. Such scenes were no longer mere abstract expressions but a true reflection of that historical phase.
Faced with this reality, Yun Xiao Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "In times of national calamity, the people suffer greatly."
Beside him, Zhao Yun responded, "Immortal Sir, there is no need for concern. It is precisely your arrival that has brought new hope to everyone."
Indeed, upon closer observation, whether it was young men and women or elderly individuals and children, in front of this abundant water resource, they all regained their confidence. Even though the tasks ahead were daunting, smiles of relief and hope still graced their faces.
Therefore, expanding their influence remained essential. Even if they could not provide aid to the entire realm, they should strive to save as many lives as possible. Once again summoning Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing, they noticed that everyone was drenched in sweat from their labor. Inquiring about the situation, Yun Xiao Yi nodded thoughtfully:
With the infinite water source prepared, I and Zhao Yun planned to head to Zhao Family Village. Before we set off, there were three important matters I needed to address with you.
Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing immediately displayed an expression of utmost respect. "Immortal Sir, what guidance do you have for us?" they asked.
Yun Xiao Yi spoke up: "First, I hope that when there is no shortage of water, you can divert some of it into the Hutuo River. Although the amount provided by Xing Zhuang Village may seem like a drop in the ocean compared to the tens of thousands of tons flowing through the Hutuo River every second, every little bit adds up to make a river. Increasing the flow will surely improve conditions downstream. Even if it can save one or two lives, it is worth it. Furthermore, once I arrive at Zhao Family Village, I will encourage them to do the same.
Secondly, if any wandering refugees pass through this area, please do your best to assist them if you are able; if not, try to guide them toward Zhao Family Village. I do not expect only the Zhu and Xia families to carry out this charitable work. During the mid-Eastern Han period, China's population was still in the tens of millions, yet within just a few decades during the Three Kingdoms era, it plummeted to less than ten million. This illustrates how severe natural disasters and human calamities were at that time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the land was desolate.
In such an environment, even the most noble aristocrats would find themselves powerless, let alone the Zhu and Xia families, who are merely ordinary local clans. Therefore, we must ultimately rely on our own methods to cope with this situation. By leveraging the rapid growth of crops, we can quickly produce a large amount of food resources to help these helpless people."
Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing nodded in agreement. "Understood, Immortal Sir," they replied.
Yun Xiao Yi lightly nodded in acknowledgment and continued speaking:
The final suggestion is to inquire about the types of food grains available here. If not for the corresponding modules, the types of crops that can be cultivated are quite limited. Many plants, such as corn, originally came from the American continent and only reached China after the Qing dynasty.
Therefore, it is necessary to check the specific list of usable plants at the end of the Eastern Han period to confirm which plants can activate internal mechanisms. Although both Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing were puzzled as to why this immortal would ask such a particular question, they still respectfully led Yun Xiao Yi to visit the storage rooms of both families.
On the way, Zhao Yun quietly asked in a voice barely audible to two people, "Immortal Sir, are you planning to implement some kind of divine treatment on those foods?"
Yun Xiao Yi smiled slightly, seemingly intrigued by this phrase: "The so-called divine treatment does make sense. How did you know?"
Zhao Yun revealed a meaningful smile: "Immortal Sir, you once told me that using divine power often requires specific objects as carriers. If it were just for consuming food grains, you wouldn't need to come all the way to Xing Zhuang Village."
Thus, I speculate that you might be preparing to transform the grains into something more extraordinary.
Yun Xiao Yi nodded in approval: "The efficiency of earthly crops is too low, and their growth cycles are too long. Yes, I do have such plans and want to try changing a portion of the food crops, but not all crops can be transformed. That's why I'm inquiring about the specific types of food grains available. When we return to Zhao Family Village, I intend to select items from your storage."
After all, only crops that exist in Wo Jie have a chance of being endowed with such transformative properties. In fact, there are quite a few options for crops in Wo Jie, such as wheat, potatoes, carrots, beets, sugarcane, and pumpkins. The unfortunate part is that according to the information available...
