Restart the Disaster of Another World

A few days later, Jing Yao received a letter from his father-in-law sent back from the academy. It turned out that there was indeed a snowstorm in the north, and those who escaped had set off when winter came. It was indeed a well-prepared home relocation, so the whole family was complete, with both young and old. It took several months to reach Lin'an County, and they could no longer walk. The government would make unified arrangements later, and some people in the village might also be settled. He had already written a letter to the head of the village.

"We haven't had any snow this year." Wen Qun wondered why the snowstorm was so severe over there.

Jing Yao thought for a while and said, "Maybe the cloud didn't come over!" Forgive him for his poor geography, he didn't know why there was such a big difference in the weather.

Wen Qun thought he was joking and said with a smile: "The sky is tired of floating, and all the clouds have stopped in the north."

Jing Yao felt a little uneasy, but he didn't think about it any further. He was just an ordinary citizen and couldn't take care of those big things. He could only do his own thing well first.

Although he thought so, Jing Yao still decided to go to the space to check the information when he was free to see if there were any records on this matter.

Because the factory had just started, the workers were not very familiar with it, and everything was still in the process of running in. New problems arose every day and needed to be solved in a timely manner. Therefore, Jing Yao was very worried. He and Wen Qun would go to the factory together or separately every day to check the assembly line to see if there were any problems so that they could make corrections.

In addition, they were in charge of the personnel transfer in each link, and he specially found a few selected team leaders to follow him. In the future, he would delegate power to the six of them to manage the factory, because each team had two people to check and balance each other, so Jing Yao didn't worry about anything.

It was morning, and the workers in the factory were working hard, and the assembly line was running smoothly. Cans of canned food were produced, packaged, and pulled out of the factory. They would be temporarily stored in the warehouse, waiting to be transported to various places.

Although there seem to be a lot of orders now, in fact, most of them are delivered to the docks and sent to merchant ships going out to sea. The sales volume in the surrounding area is not ideal, but Jing Yao has not taken care of it for the time being.

Because there are already a lot of orders for overseas shipments, the factory has to work overtime to complete them. If there are more retail and wholesale orders, the current day and night operation will not be enough, and the factory will have to expand its production lines. It has the equipment, but it just needs to hire more people.

Jing Yao did not expand the line blindly. First, the current situation may seem like a tall building, but it is actually a castle in the air. There are many orders now because the ships going out to sea are all in the port and have not yet weighed anchor. In less than half a month, it is estimated that all the large ships at the dock will have left, and the absorption rate of the surrounding people will not be too large.

Secondly, those who were supposed to come in the last recruitment have already come, and the ones he liked have stayed. It’s not that the reservists are dissatisfied, but he just doesn’t want them to come to the work here. Several of the people he liked have already had new arrangements.

There are only so many people in the village and they have already been screened. It would be a bit against his will to ask him to screen again. Besides, the factory is important, but farming is more important. He cannot let the villagers abandon the land because of going out to work. That would be a sin.

Another thing is the raw materials. The raw materials here are not as good as those in the real world. Pigs here are raised for a year before they can be slaughtered. Cattle are used for farming and are not allowed to be sold or slaughtered privately.

The smell of sheep is too strong, so it is not suitable for canning. In addition, few people raise sheep here, so you have to look for them if you want to buy them. There are not many varieties of fruits, and the seasons are too rigid. If you start planting trees now, it will take at least one or two years for them to bear fruit. He has to do it.

So in his spare time he ordered a lot of fruit trees and asked people to plant them on the public mountain in the village. Jing Yao originally wanted to buy a mountain, but many of the surrounding mountains were owned by someone else or belonged to various villages. Jing Yao could only rent land from the villagers to plant trees.

No one in the village objected. After all, the mountain was barren and someone rented it. They could get free money every year, which was a good deal. As for not going to the mountain to collect firewood in the future, that was a small matter. Each family had their own private land in the mountain and they would have more firewood than they needed. If they wanted to sell it, they could just go to a farther mountain.

In this situation, fish is the most abundant, but for people wandering on the sea, this is their least favorite food.

The best destination for canned fish is to be sold northward or towards Shangjing, where there are fewer rivers, lakes and seas, and fish are easier to find in the market. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a caravan suitable for long-term cooperation, and he still has to find a caravan running on the northern route, so he still has to develop towards Shangjing.

Therefore, Jing Yao, under the premise of ensuring the quality and quantity of production, prepared to ask people in the surrounding area to see if there were any pigs for sale. At the very least, he had to have some game, which he could do.

Fuel is also a big problem. The fuel used by the factory now is matches picked up by villagers in the mountains, mixed with some charcoal. Generally, the firewood picked up in the mountains starts with dead wood, then shavings and cutting branches, and green wood has to be left for a while before it can be used, and finally the tree is cut. Moreover, charcoal is also made from wood, so it still needs to be cut down.

It's okay in the short term, but in the long term I'm very worried that it will damage the forests. By then, the vegetation will be reduced, the land will be lost, and mountain torrents, rainstorms, and mudslides will occur. It's scary to think about it.

The best way is to find other fuels. Jing Yao has always wanted to look for coal mines in the Xishan Mountains. This is the most likely energy source he thought of after consulting the information and combining it with the geographical annals.

However, the Xishan Mountains are too large, and he has no professional equipment, so he can only search slowly by himself. This is not difficult, but he needs to free up some time, which is more troublesome. He still needs to deal with the factory affairs first so that others can manage the factory when he and Wen Qun are not around.

There are also several raw material supplies that are more likely to be stuck, such as outer packaging. There seems to be no problem now, but Jing Yao is worried that accidents will occur in the long run. He always prepares for a rainy day and does not want any unexpected events.

It was the end of March and the beginning of April when the ships that had gone out to sea had almost all left. Most of the ships that were docked were short-distance ships near the coast, and many of them would dock on the shore. Jing Yao's factory had become famous, and many people would come to buy canned food from him. There were a lot of orders every day, and the canned food produced was in short supply. Each shift in the factory split off a production line, and then each shift worked three shifts, so the production volume could theoretically double, which was actually six invisible production lines.

Jing Yao directly announced that during the busy months, everyone's salary would be raised by one third, and the group with the highest output would also receive a bonus. Everyone was motivated and worked hard every day. Jing Yao saw this and nodded with satisfaction. As expected, as long as the money was in place, nothing would be a problem.

Everything in the factory is back on track, Jing Yao and Wen Qun breathed a sigh of relief and can take a short break. The two have been very busy in the past few months, with factory construction, training, and on-the-job training, while also taking care of the seedlings in the fields. Because it is a brand-new working model, everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones. No matter how big or small the problem is, it has to be solved by Jing Yao, so Jing Yao has never rested. Fortunately, now that Wen Xin and Wen Qin have been trained, Jing Yao can be freed.

Jing Yao is also about to start his plan, the first of which is the Xishan exploration plan.

Xishan is a treasure mountain. There are countless resources and food in the endless mountains. It’s just that it’s too dangerous inside and people dare not go deep into it. But the mountains outside have allowed people to feed themselves.

Here there are wild vegetables, spring bamboo shoots and spring sprouts in spring, various mushrooms and medicinal herbs in summer, and various wild fruits and nuts in autumn. People in Wenjiabao go to the mountains all year round.

It is already April. At this time of year in previous years, Jing Yao would have already prepared to go up the mountain to hunt. However, this year he was busy with factory matters and did not plan to continue hunting, so he did not go up the mountain again. However, several hunters from the surrounding area came to Jing Yao's house to ask if they could take over that piece of land.

Jing Yao didn't disagree. The division was based on ability. He also told them that he would no longer hunt in the future and they could decide where to go. It was just that there were many wild beasts over there, so if they acted alone, they had to be careful. As for them not listening, he didn't care.

He planned to go up the mountain for two purposes. One was to check on the medicinal herbs that had been neglected for the whole winter, and the other was to see if there were any coal mines. The Xishan Mountains were vast and it was impossible to explore them all without the power of technology. From what he knew about the topography, coal mines were more likely to form in the southward direction of the stone mountains.

Jing Yao did not plan to bring Wen Qun with him when he went up the mountain. He had not gone hunting since the beginning of this year. He should have completed some follow-up work on the traps he had packed in the fall in the spring, but he was busy building a factory and raising seedlings at that time and had no time at all. He only has time now.

Knowing his purpose, Wen Qun really wanted to know how he used to hunt. Unlike his brother who was not at home, he had always lived in the village and got along well with the younger girls of the Wen family, such as Shuang'er. When they went out to play together, they would still talk about some gossip in the village.

Although Jing Yao did not often appear in their topics, everyone still admired Jing Yao's abilities. Although he was so young and alone, his hunting skills were better than those of old hunters. In particular, the few families doing business in the town often saw what Jing Yao bought.

Because his mother was watching over him, Wen Qun had not been to Xishan many times. The last time he went there was when he and Jing Yao went to pick red beauty fruits. They only wandered around the periphery and came back. This made him very curious about Xishan.

"Ayao, I want to go too." Wen Qun looked pitifully at Jing Yao who was checking the bow and arrow, with the desire in his eyes overflowing.

"Qun Qun, my parents-in-law won't agree. I'll be gone for four or five days at the least, and half a month at the most." How will I explain it then?

Wen Qun lowered his head and said in a soft voice: "I just miss A Yao who has been alone for so long, I want to accompany A Yao."

Jing Yao looked at his aggrieved look, and his heart softened all of a sudden, "Qun Qun, it's very dangerous in the mountains. We can't eat well, and we have to hurry on our way. There's no place to rest at night."

Jing Yao was not afraid that he could not protect Wen Qun, but the conditions in the mountains were indeed harsh and he was afraid that Wen Qun could not bear it.

"Ayao, I'm not afraid. As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything." Wen Qun looked at Jing Yao and said firmly.

Jing Yao just couldn't refuse Wen Qun, so he could only nod and agree to him.

"That's great, Ayao, I'll go pack my things." Wen Qun hugged Jing Yao, kissed him, and then ran out.

Jing Yao felt the warmth touched by his soft lips, a smile appeared on his face, and then he continued to check the bow and arrow.

The next morning before dawn, Wen Qun came to Jing Yao's house. He did not disturb those who were sleeping, but started to busy himself in the kitchen. He first lit the fire to boil water, then began to scoop out flour and knead the dough. He also took the time to pick a lot of vegetables in the yard.

Jing Yao felt a familiar breath while he was half asleep. He walked towards the owner of the breath and soon found the person in the kitchen.

Wen Qun was concentrating on kneading dough when he was suddenly hugged from behind. He was startled. "Ayao, you're awake."

"Yeah." Jing Yao was touched by his cute look. He kissed his ear and whispered, "You haven't done anything bad, so why are you so easily frightened, like a little rabbit?"

Wen Qun shyly avoided his actions and said, "Go wash up quickly. We need to prepare our things to go up the mountain."

"What are you preparing for?" Jing Yao wondered.

Wen Qun counted the dough as he kneaded it; "Dry food, water, tools, didn't you say you'd like to sleep in the mountains? Do you want to bring a blanket?"

Jing Yao wanted to tell him that it was not necessary, but seeing that he seemed very excited, like an elementary school student going on a spring outing, he had no choice but to nod and prepare those unnecessary things.

Under Wen Qun's command, they prepared everything they needed and filled the main room with it. If you didn't know, you would think Jing Yao was moving today!
