And the water bottles they were using were really great. They were lightweight and durable. Once filled with water and the lid was closed, not a single drop would spill.

Their old water jugs were heavy and prone to spilling when filled. They were nothing like the jugs His Majesty had bestowed upon them.

Many people cherish the kettle in their hands and hold it carefully.

After they finished eating breakfast, Ji Yunshuang filled a kettle with some milk tea to take with them so they could drink it when they got tired from working.

But many people don't want to use it, worried that they might bump or knock the kettle while working, and want to put the kettle away and keep it as a family heirloom.

Ji Yunshuang was both amused and exasperated when she learned of their thoughts.

Although the material of this kettle might not be suitable for production with the technology of this era, she moved many things into her space without even looking at them in order to speed things up when she was hoarding them.

Later, she checked the supplies in her space and found that she had at least tens of thousands of kettles like these in her space.

Besides plastic water bottles, there are also stainless steel, glass, and other materials. Actually, in weather like this, an insulated water bottle is more suitable.

However, when she took it, she considered that the insulated water bottle was lightweight and not made of plastic, which was not suitable for their work.

That's why I chose this kind of plastic sports water bottle.

Seeing how much they treasured the water bottles, Ji Yunshuang said, "Don't be stingy with the water bottles. Work hard, and I'll give each of you an insulated water bottle to keep as a family heirloom. Come and get your milk tea. You need to eat well to have the energy to work."

When everyone heard that they would be given a water bottle as a family heirloom, they were overjoyed. They kowtowed to express their gratitude and then took the water bottle to fill with milk tea.

This milk tea is so delicious, everyone loves it.

After breakfast, everyone got busy again.

Ji Yunshuang took out a lot of tools from her space again this time.

If it were just by manpower, it would be almost impossible to clear the burned mountain within the time she set.

We still need to rely on current technology.

Last time, in order to put out a fire, she took out an excavator from her space and found it to be very useful after operating it.

So they took out an excavator from the space.

Operating an excavator is much more difficult than operating a chainsaw, and there aren't many excavators that can operate in confined spaces.

Therefore, Ji Yunshuang personally operated the machine this time, and had Wan Shitong and the others take turns learning how to operate the excavator from her.

The guards also set up stoves and sheds.

Ji Yunshuang took out a lot of materials such as steel pipes, waterproof cloth, nails, wire, and rope from her space and taught them how to use these materials in advance.

With these materials, the shed can be built quickly and sturdily.

However, before all the shacks were completed, refugees began arriving after receiving the news.

Seeing the refugees arriving, Ji Yunshuang temporarily put aside her task of teaching Wan Shitong and the others how to operate the excavator and asked everyone to cook porridge for them first.

These refugees were all emaciated and dressed in rags. Some looked to be seriously injured, walking unsteadily as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Looking at them, Ji Yunshuang couldn't help but worry about them, fearing that if the mountain wind got any stronger, it would blow them over.

She hoped to recruit many refugees to work, but given their condition, she was afraid she would first need to help them recover.

Cooking porridge takes time, so she thought for a moment, then entered her spatial dimension, made several buckets of milk tea, and took them out of the dimension.

Considering how poor these people's health was, she also added some honey from the nectar of the aralia tree to the milk tea.

She placed the milk tea on the table and said to Wan Shitong, "Give them this milk tea to warm them up first, and then give them the porridge when it's ready."

Besides taking out milk tea from her spatial storage, she also brought out many stainless steel bowls. These bowls could be used to drink porridge after everyone had finished their milk tea.

This know-it-all is very good at getting things done.

Upon hearing Ji Yunshuang's arrangement, he immediately addressed the refugees loudly: "Everyone, line up! His Majesty is distributing milk tea. This milk tea is from the place where the immortals live; it tastes exceptionally good and is also beneficial to your health."

The refugees have heard many rumors these days.

Two of the rumors were the most intense. One rumor said that Ji Yunshuang was a celestial being who descended from heaven to save everyone, and that she was the true emperor.

To help everyone, many new policies have been introduced, and farmers will no longer have to pay agricultural taxes.

However, another rumor completely contradicts this one, claiming that it was all a conspiracy by Ji Yunshuang.

The plague and monsters were all created by Ji Yunshuang in order to seize their land and win their hearts.

All current policies are designed to lull them into a false sense of security, preventing them from trusting Ji Yunshuang. The message is to urge everyone to resist Ji Yunshuang and not fall for her treacherous schemes.

They were initially excited when they heard about the new policies promulgated by the new emperor. But soon, they heard another rumor.

The second rumor is obviously more believable than the first one.

Everything seems too coincidental.

Wasn't it after the plague and monsters that the new emperor ascended the throne? And the State of Qi changed its name?

Many people hate Ji Yunshuang and wish they could kill her.

Because of the plague, because of those monsters, their family was gone, their relatives died... and now they're trying to deceive them.

But they were injured, crippled, and so hungry they could be blown over by the wind. How could they possibly fight Ji Yunshuang to the death?

Therefore, after hearing the news that Yumushan was recruiting workers, many people came to Yumushan.

Although new policies have been introduced in their area, allowing them to register with the government and choose to return to their place of origin or stay in the area.

But many of them were heartbroken. They had lost the courage to rebuild their homes, yet they didn't want to just die.

They eventually arrived at Elm Mountain.

Little did they know, the new emperor was on Elm Mountain. And he even used his magic right in front of them.

The refugees perceived Ji Yunshuang's actions—entering the space, taking out milk tea, and conjuring a bowl out of thin air—as the use of magic.

They were caught off guard and didn't react at first sight.

It wasn't until the all-knowing person spoke that everyone belatedly realized what had happened. The new emperor wasn't a fraud; she was a real deity who had saved their lives.

They almost misunderstood their savior because of those rumors!

Instead of lining up for milk tea, the refugees all knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Ji Yunshuang and calling out "Long live the Divine Lord!" to thank the Divine Lord for saving their lives.

Besides kneeling in gratitude, some people also repented, saying they shouldn't have believed the rumors. They had almost misunderstood His Majesty because they had listened to the rumors.

I beg Your Majesty to spare them and not hold it against them.

Upon hearing this, the all-knowing man was immediately enraged. Someone was actually spreading rumors to slander their emperor! He was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and started cursing.

"Alright, it's not worth getting angry over such a small thing." Ji Yunshuang casually advised the know-it-all a few times, then said to the refugees kneeling on the ground, "Everyone, get up quickly! The ground is cold, and kneeling for too long will make you sick. Everyone, get up and drink some milk to warm yourselves up."

As for believing the rumors, don't take it to heart. It's not your fault; someone deliberately schemed against you. You are kind-hearted and were taken advantage of. It's their fault, not yours.”
