Restart the Disaster of Another World

This group of refugees settled down like this. Those who were selected were selected by Jing Yao to work, and those who were not selected were arranged by the village chief. If you want to survive, as long as you are willing to work, there are many ways. There are still many wastelands outside the village. They can borrow tools from the villagers to open up wasteland. The people in the village are organizing the planting of winter potatoes. They can catch up if they are fast.

Jing Yao was very sympathetic towards these refugees. If they were willing to farm, he would be willing to give them some seeds. However, the price of the seeds was different from that in the village. Such differential treatment did not create a gap between the villagers and the refugees. On the contrary, they lived in harmony with each other.

The villagers felt that even if these people came, as native villagers, they naturally had a closer relationship with Jing Yao than these people, so they would naturally get more benefits. There was nothing to question about this.

And those refugees who had fled here learned that they were treated the same as the people in the village and could buy different seeds from Jing Yao to plant, so they were very grateful to Jing Yao and his people. Naturally, they would not be so ungrateful as to strive for exactly the same things for the slight differences. They also understood the difference between relatives and strangers, and naturally, these newly arrived refugees could not be compared with the people in the village. On the contrary, because of their different treatment, the villagers still retained sympathy for them. So when they had questions or needed help from the villagers, the villagers were still very polite to them and willing to help them, which accelerated the time for them to integrate into the village and allowed them to adapt to their current life more quickly.

When Jing Yao and Wen Qun arrived at the factory, they began to check one by one to make sure they had a clear idea. The canning factory now has more than just canned fish, canned pork belly, canned luncheon meat, canned braised pork, and canned chicken. There are also all kinds of canned fruits. Such huge assembly lines, which continuously increase production, can also be put down here. This is what Jing Yao considered from the beginning. He knew that these things would be produced more and more, so a large space was reserved. Now these can be produced steadily, and the daily output is not low. After selling them, there is a lot of inventory left. Because of the long shelf life, Jing Yao doesn't care whether he can sell them. Instead, he is willing to stock up more goods at this time to prepare for the future.

As for the winery, in addition to the production of fruit wine, it also produces grain wine. However, as the situation in the north became more and more serious, Jing Yao was somewhat concerned about the current situation, so the production of grain wine was greatly reduced. However, he did not stop purchasing grain. Instead, he stored the grain in case it was useful in the future. Now the most produced product in his factory is fruit wine. Those wines with beautiful colors and low alcohol content are deeply loved by many women, such as Shuang'er, and the selling price is naturally not low.

As for the soaps with various scents, the production naturally cannot keep up with the demand, especially since Jing Yao launches a different flower every month. These patterns will cause screams from the ladies. They are willing to pay for the new flower every month, regardless of whether they like the flower or not. As long as it is the latest one launched by the Treasure Pavilion, they will put it in their pockets and show off their things in front of those who don’t have it. This is the happiness of those rich people!

Originally, the situation at the hydrosol factory was similar to that at the soap factory. However, it became more severe in autumn because flowers are not always available. So after the summer, the number of flowers received here has gradually decreased. Now the flowers delivered are chrysanthemums and other rare flowers that can only be seen in autumn. It may be that the number of plum blossoms will increase in winter, or until tomorrow spring. Therefore, Jing Yao has further restricted the sales of perfumes, and the price of perfumes is getting more and more expensive.

The refined sugar produced by the newly added sugar factory has not yet been sold. Jing Yao is considering whether to sell it directly as sugar, or collect fruits to make fruit candies or other hard and soft candies.

So he planned to ask Wen Qun's opinion first before making a decision.

"Ayao, these white sugars are so beautiful." Wen Qun looked at the white sugar that was as white as snow and liked it very much. Apart from those beautiful fruit candies, he had only eaten yellow sugar and brown sugar. White sugar had never appeared in this world.

"It can be used to make your favorite fruit candies." Jing Yao took out a picture book specifically for making candies, which was full of colorful and beautiful candies.

Wen Qun was very interested in these candies, so he took out all the candies he had eaten and prepared to replicate them one by one. "Ayao, let's build a candy factory."

Jing Yao was happy that he suddenly fell in love with these jobs, so he no longer made any plans for the candy factory and left it all to him.

"Yes, we can make it into various shapes and patterns, flowers, plants, cats and dogs. We can find a master who can carve to make the mold first." Jing Yao flipped the book in his hand and let him see the beautiful photos inside.

"This one looks good, this one looks good too, they all look good. I want to make them all one by one." Wen Qun said confidently as he looked at the candies in the book.

Now the factory has begun to produce some candies with good taste, good colors and special styles, but they are not sold to the public yet. The factory is still trying to satisfy Wen Qun's desire for exploration and innovation.

Jing Yao naturally supported him, and soon Wen Qun devoted himself to what he liked, while Jing Yao took some free time and went up the mountain.

The inside of the mountain is no longer what it used to be, because the miners will renovate and build here when they are free, and a village has gradually formed here. Jing Yao will also bring them supplies and food when he goes up the mountain. Many traps have been laid outside the camp to prevent attacks by wild beasts. Everyone is becoming more and more adapted to life here.

"Boss." Seeing Jing Yao appear in the camp driving a carriage, Ding Chun immediately called for help.

Jing Yao handed him the reins and nodded when he saw that everyone was there. Ding Chun managed the mining team very well and always paid attention to safety issues. So far, no major accidents had occurred.

"How have you been recently? Is there anything wrong?" Jing Yao asked.

Ding Chun shook his head: "It's been very quiet recently, nothing special, but the wild animals have become more active. They used to come once every half a month, but now they come every three to five days. We have had a few feasts."

"Yes, they came right after we finished eating. Two big ones came a few days ago, but they ran away quickly and we didn't catch them."

"Big guy?" Jing Yao was puzzled.

Ding Chun replied: "They are wild boars, two big wild boars weighing more than 200 kilograms."

Jing Yao frowned. He knew the situation here. It wouldn't be strange if small animals appeared, but how come a big wild boar ran out?

"In fact, there have been some signs since the beginning of winter. We don't often see wild animals in the mountains, so we didn't know if it was normal. But these creatures have appeared more and more frequently this month, and we realized something was wrong." Seeing him frown, Ding Chun quickly expressed his guess.

Jing Yao nodded and said, "Pack your things, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, he ran towards the mountains. He was very fast and soon he had circled the mountains. He found that many animals were no longer in his original place, but were walking towards the depths of the mountains. He didn't know why, but seeing that they had no plans to go down the mountain for the time being, he did not attack them and let them continue to migrate.

After returning to the camp, Jing Yao told Ding Chun what he had seen and instructed him: "If something special happens, follow the map I gave you and run down the mountain. Don't worry about the things here. Human life is the most important."

"Thank you for your concern, boss. We will pay attention to it." Ding Chun said to Jing Yao gratefully.

Jing Yao waved his hand, looked around the mine and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he took half a warehouse of coal, filled a whole carriage and went down the mountain.

It is now the end of October and is about to enter November. The weather is getting colder day by day. After some consideration, Jin Yang decided to make the coal matter public.

"I found a kind of ore growing in the mountains. It is as black as charcoal. I call it coal. After burning, it can be comparable to firewood, and it is even better in terms of convenience and durability."

“Really, there is such a magical thing.”

"Yes, these large pieces can be thrown directly into the fire to burn for heating, while these gravel-like pieces need to be mixed with loess and water, and stirred evenly before burning. They can also be made into coal blocks of various shapes for easy storage."

The stove in front of Jing Yao was already burning. The coal inside was burning red, emitting a blazing light and temperature. The coal slag on the side was also mixed with loess and water, made into a small piece and put into the stove. Soon the water vapor began to dry up and slowly burned.

"This is a stove I made. It's different from the stove we use now. It can be moved. You can put it in the main room or kitchen and start burning. As long as it is connected to the chimney, the smoke will not spread in the house. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that when burning coal, you must remember not to completely close the room. You must leave a gap to let the outside air in, otherwise people will suffocate to death."

"This coal is indeed very convenient, but it is also too dangerous!"

"Yes, I have been burning wood for so many years, and I have never heard of anyone being suffocated to death."

"Yes, it's better to burn wood."

Jing Yao did not comment on their words. Farmers burned firewood in courtyards with ventilation on all sides or in shabby kitchens, so carbon monoxide poisoning was not likely to occur. However, coal was different. Coal contained a certain amount of carbon monoxide, which would be released when it burned. If it stayed in a closed space for too long, it would cause carbon monoxide poisoning. If it was discovered in time, it would be fine and the symptoms could be alleviated by opening windows for ventilation. However, if the condition was serious, there were no medical conditions to provide timely treatment. He certainly did not want to see tragedy happen, so he had to explain the risk factors in advance.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't lock the doors and windows and have room for ventilation, this kind of thing won't happen." Jing Yao used plain language to explain to everyone the principle of why coal poisoning occurs. After listening, some people accepted it while some resisted. Jing Yao did not force them and let them buy it based on their wishes.

Coal can be burned for heating. It is more durable and more convenient than firewood. Of course, the price is not cheap, so if you need it, he will provide some for you.

Then he opened some warehouses to store coal, and everyone who was interested would go to buy it. Many people expressed that they were not used to the sudden drop in temperature this winter. Although they had a lot of firewood prepared at home, everyone was more curious about the coal that Jing Yao mentioned than about how to use it. However, since it was Jing Yao who proposed it, everyone took it seriously, and many families bought some coal back home.

Nothing was said to those who did not buy, and they were allowed to buy voluntarily. However, after the refugees saw the coal and knew its importance, many of them were willing to pay for it. Almost anyone who was not in financial difficulty or had some spare money wanted to stockpile some. For them, the winter in the north was too cold, and they were already afraid of the cold. After knowing about such a magical thing, everyone wanted to stockpile it for use in the winter.

Some people in the village were dismissive of their ideas, thinking that they had not yet come to terms with it. This was the south, where the number of days with snow in a year might not exceed one hand, so how could it be as cold as in the north? Some people believed that this winter was indeed colder than in previous years, so it would be a better precaution to stock up on some supplies.

As for everyone's choices, Jing Yao always maintains a middle ground. He neither encourages everyone to buy nor opposes everyone's hoarding. Anyway, his coal is there, and he will not lose money if he sells it. He doesn't care whether he can make money or not.

But Li Guoan had prepared a lot of things to send to him, and also told him about a batch of curved plows that he asked Old Wu to help make, and asked him to go and pick them up. Even if there were no oxen or horses, as long as there were curved plows, pulling by manpower would be much faster than digging with a hoe.

"Boss Jing, thank you for everything you have done for the people. Don't worry, I will write to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and tell him about the help you have given me." Li Guoan was also very grateful to Jing Yao, especially since the help was free of charge.

"No, I won't step into the officialdom. Those good reputations don't mean much to me. I just hope that the people of Lin'an can be well." Jing Yao doesn't care about these false reputations. On the contrary, he still likes to do things in a low-key manner.

Li Guoan bowed deeply to Jing Yao, thanking him for his help to the people of Lin'an. Not to mention anything else, the promotion of the curved plow to all parts of the country alone would be a major event that would benefit the country and the people.

Jing Yao tacitly accepted his thanks, and the two talked about the climate issue. Jing Yao said, "I have communicated with the people who escaped from the village. They are very concerned about the climate change here. They think it is wrong, but they can't guarantee it is correct."

Li Guoan nodded, "Some people also told me that Lin'an is particularly cold this year, so we still need to be careful."

Knowing that he had taken the matter to heart, Jing Yao stopped trying to persuade him. The two of them left without saying anything else.

The weather kept getting colder day by day, and everyone wore thicker clothes, but they still didn't feel anything was wrong. They just thought it might snow this year. In previous years, there was no snow and the weather was still relatively warm. Everyone was used to such days, so they felt that this year was particularly cold.

The people who fled from the north were a little anxious in such weather. They were like this in the first year as well. The weather seemed to have moved forward a month. The snow should have fallen in October, but it started falling in early September.

At first they just thought that the snow fell early and the temperature dropped quickly, but they didn't expect that the disaster would come so quietly. When they saw the situation in the south, they wanted to remind them, but seeing that no one cared, they knew that even if they said it, no one would believe it.

Some people couldn't help but speak out, and they were not scolded or refuted by everyone. Instead, they were full of sympathy for them. They felt that they were stimulated by the snowstorm in their hometown, and when they felt the temperature drop, they would think of the disaster, and thus called on everyone to be vigilant against disasters. Everyone responded to his reminder with a friendly attitude, but whether to take action or not is another matter.

Many northern people who had received their kindness expressed great sadness at their disbelief. Many people could only remind them twice in their own way. If they still did not receive attention, there was nothing they could do and they could not influence their opinions.

Jing Yao's coal plant started operating and was also sold in the Treasure Pavilion. Many people were very interested in this new thing and were willing to buy some, but compared to other precious items, not many people were interested.
