Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

The invention of concrete allowed people to access a new world.

They discovered that as long as the foundation was laid, a large number of concrete bricks were manufactured using molds, and then the bricks were glued together with concrete to build a sufficiently sturdy house.

Under the call of the Great Yue Emperor, the people were filled with enthusiasm.

The people had long heard of it:

The Mountain God and Zhang Gaoren are working hard to produce concrete raw materials, and it is said that the mysterious "Cloud-Riding Demon" is also transporting raw materials.

"Our lords and gentlemen have already done so much for us, we cannot let them down!"

Some people shouted, working hard with their relatives and friends.

Under the plan of the Great Yue Emperor, 200,000 of the 400,000 Great Yue soldiers were assigned to guard the borders around Anshan.

The rest worked alongside the people to build houses and cultivate land.

Soldiers are also human beings, and are also part of the people.

They are very positive about these things.

Moreover, the Emperor of the Great Yue Dynasty said:

Let's work hard and create a better future together!

Anyone who cultivates land within the designated area shall own the cultivated land and shall be exempt from taxes for the first three years!

Anyone who builds a house within the designated area according to the rules owns the house and the imperial court will not levy taxes on it!

Those who assist the imperial court in reclaiming land will be rewarded with grain seeds and cloth according to the extent of the reclamation!

The imperial court also rewards those who help the sick and disabled build houses with grain!

Just a few simple instructions were enough to make the people cheer with joy!

In the past, that was the imperial land system.

Most of them farmed land owned by the imperial court, and after a year's harvest, most of it had to be handed over to officials above them, leaving them barely enough to live on.

But now, as long as you cultivate the land yourself, it belongs to you, and you only need to pay a small portion of the taxes proportionally!

Moreover, the materials used to build this house are much stronger than the thatched roofs and mud used before!

The soldiers who were sent to guard the border of Ansan were extremely envious.

This is something where you reap what you sow, and it can have a lifelong impact!

Fortunately, the Emperor of Dayue did not forget them.

Officials compiled a list of soldiers' relatives among the civilians, and those with family members serving among the border guards would receive additional allowances and care.

Furthermore, the imperial court would commission the construction of large concrete barracks for all the soldiers, giving those without relatives or friends a home.

This gave the soldiers guarding the border of Ansan a slight sense of relief.

As long as the court has not forgotten them, that is enough.

The people were working with great enthusiasm.

Under the scorching sun, wearing old coarse cloth shirts, everyone cultivated the loess soil, sowed grain seeds, and irrigated the river.

Looking at the vast grain-growing areas, the people felt a surge of excitement, as if they could see a golden sea of ​​the future.

Having experienced the devastation of famine, they had an extremely high level of enthusiasm for planting grain and cultivating land.

Some people, responding to the imperial court's call, began mass-producing concrete bricks in the planned housing areas, preparing to build new homes.

All officials were dispatched, and the Emperor of the Great Yue Dynasty stated:

"The Great Moon Rebirth is a new beginning for everything. No one can sit back and reap the benefits. Everyone must contribute to me!"

Do your work, supervise, and if anyone still has the energy to think about nonsense, then they haven't done their job properly! They're all stripped of their official positions!

The officials were herded into the midst of the common people like chicks, living, drinking, working, and eating with them.

The military officers took the initiative to pick up hoes, and the civil officials also spontaneously began to work on the molds.

The people were initially filled with fear and trepidation.

But gradually, I accepted it.

With the involvement and guidance of officials, they worked even harder.

Li Yuan still dragged Zhang Tiansheng there to make lime.

With the surge of divine power, all kinds of limestone will instantly turn into powder, which is much more effective than a pulverizer.

A mountain god and a heavenly emperor were banging on a rock for half a month.

For the past two weeks, Li Xiaoan has been responsible for delivering meals to them.

In order to maintain his identity as a 'mortal,' Zhang Tiansheng did eat something, more or less.

So as not to let Li Yuan notice anything unusual.

However, he found it difficult to swallow the thin, watery porridge.

When he was in Heaven, he only tasted the freshest parts of the 'dragon liver and phoenix marrow'; even for rare delicacies that were only seen once in ten thousand years, he only took a small taste.

Seeing that Zhang Tiansheng had a poor appetite, Li Yuan was secretly anxious.

Even a Taoist practitioner who has cultivated himself and practiced fasting would not drink this porridge. How could ordinary people who work hard and sweat profusely not have any meat or oil in their stomachs?

You still need to consume some protein and fat; otherwise, your body's immunity will be weakened, making you more susceptible to illness!

This world has underdeveloped agriculture and its animal husbandry is also only moderately developed.

Li Yuan felt he should do something.

Since we've chosen to bring so many people back, we must provide them with a stable life, both spiritually and materially.

He felt more at ease knowing that ordinary people were at peace.

At the same time, as ordinary people prosper, the power of incense offerings naturally increases as well.

That battle on the mountain, which has yet to be fought, is where there is hope for a comeback.

Li Yuan has not forgotten the battle with the Tianyun Mountain God.

He must improve people's livelihoods and increase the number of worshippers.

It is for the sake of the people, and also for their own sake.

Once the lime powder had piled up into a small mountain, Li Yuan estimated that it would be enough for a while, so he and Zhang Tiansheng left the 'lime-making' ravine.

Zhang Tiansheng couldn't wait to leave.

Who is he? The mighty Heavenly Emperor, the ruler of the Three Realms!

If it weren't for the fact that you still have some concern for ordinary people and a bit of compassion, who would want to sit in some remote mountain corner and play with stones like a little mountain god?

That's utterly disgraceful!

Zhang Tiansheng walked to a secluded spot and immediately began to sense something.

"Fortunately, Mother Earth has not yet noticed me."

"Otherwise, I fear I will have completely lost my dignity."

Zhang Tiansheng breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mother Earth were to discover that this Heavenly Emperor was playing with mortal stones...

Zhang Tiansheng simply couldn't bear to imagine that scene.

However, he also felt a sense of excitement.

It's as if they've found a new direction for having fun.

The Heavenly Emperor seemed to have realized something.

Li Yuan arrived at the place where the people were working, but did not show himself directly.

He is currently attracting a lot of attention from ordinary people, and if he were to appear in the crowd at will, it would cause people to stop what they are doing and disrupt things.

Li Yuan transformed into a wisp of green smoke, floating above the crowd. Watching the mortals sweat and work hard, he couldn't help but think of that group of people from the past.

In the beginning, the villagers at the foot of Anshan were also full of motivation, dedicating themselves to the future and working hard for future generations.

This group of people often works the hardest, putting in the most effort but reaping the least reward.

But they didn't complain or slack off.

Their eyes always sparkled with a bright light.

It seems that as long as they have something to look forward to, that's enough for them to work hard all their lives.

Li Yuan had an epiphany, as if he were thinking of the ancestors from the world before he transmigrated.

Our ancestors back then were the same.

One after another, they went forward with boundless enthusiasm.

One rebirth, one hope, one aspiration—that's what one strives for throughout one's life.

Perhaps this is the biggest difference between mortals and immortals.

Human life is short; they will grow old and die, but...

This precious spirit of enduring legacy and creating peace for future generations will forever flow in our blood and be passed down from generation to generation.
