Chapter 59: Mountains and People
A quiet night.
The town of Anshan is already full, with at least a dozen people living in each town home.
There were even more people who used carts to build wooden walls as simple houses and slept there.
At Li Yuan's suggestion, the original large bunk bed was transformed into a dormitory-style bed with two floors, which saves more space and can accommodate more people in the "temporary house" surrounded by wooden walls.
Many people were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
The wooden walls were only used to block sand and wind, and the roof had no shelter. Many sleepless people looked up at the sky, looking at the twinkling stars and the bright moon.
They are thousands of miles away from their former hometown, but in the end, they are still under the same sky.
From now on, the land beneath you will become your new home.
Li Yuan stood on the top of Anshan Mountain, with the mountain spirits behind him.
He blew a breath of fairy air in the direction of the people.
The people felt the fatigue in their muscles and bones subside a little, their bodies felt warm, and they soon felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
The big black dog slowly walked forward and rubbed Li Yuan's legs affectionately; the big colorful rooster with its head held high also walked to Li Yuan's side and pecked the ground habitually.
The mountain rat, which was bigger than a washbasin, scratched with its claws, subconsciously trying to dig a hole, but was kicked away by the white rabbit next to it.
The old trees sway, the green leaves shake, and the crisp sound of leaves colliding is like a light bell that wakes people up.
They hadn't seen Li Yuan for a long time and missed their mountain god very much.
Li Yuan turned around and looked at the many spiritual creatures that accompanied him, his thoughts flying.
In a trance, he saw the three cute gray mice, the pheasants pecking at the ground, the rabbits that liked to store food, and the wild dogs that always ran around the mountains...
I also remembered the blue-and-white snake that I had a very miraculous encounter with.
Li Yuan's eyes were somewhat sad and nostalgic, but more of it was relief.
"You, too, are the continuation of their existence..."
The spiritual creatures were full of awe for Li Yuan, but they were also very close to him instinctively and could not help but surround Li Yuan subconsciously.
Zhuge Laodeng's green leaves rustled and shook: "Lord Mountain God, please don't leave this time!"
"You brought back so many mortals. If you leave them to me, I won't be able to take care of this old tree for more than a few days before all its leaves fall off!"
Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Becoming bald is not a way to become stronger?"
The little rabbit hopped and timidly squeezed to Li Yuan's feet, speaking in human language:
"Lord Mountain God, Rabbit misses you."
For spiritual creatures, the mountain god is their guide in their long lives.
It is a reverence and instinct for closeness that is engraved in our bones.
Li Yuan bent down and picked up the huge white rabbit.
The rabbit fur is plush, extremely smooth and feels very nice to touch.
He smiled and said, "This time, I won't leave for a long time."
"Since I have brought the mortals back, I will help them rebuild their homes."
"At the same time, it's time to supervise you, so that you don't slack off while I'm away!"
The old tree shook, and Zhuge Laodeng snorted:
"They don't dare to be lazy, for fear that you will come back and scold them!"
The big black dog ran to the base of the old tree and took a poop, then huddled around Li Yuan:
"Lord Mountain God, I am the most diligent!"
"In addition to my hard training, I offer nourishment to Lao Deng every day!"
The old tree shook its leaves triumphantly:
"Not bad, you are good!"
Li Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Li Yuan stayed with the spiritual creatures for a long time, until the sky was about to brighten, then he turned around and went down the mountain.
The mortals are waking up one after another.
This was the most peaceful night's sleep they had had since their migration.
The sun rises from the horizon, bringing light and illuminating the earth.
At Li Yuan's suggestion, Emperor Dayue asked the people to wash in the river that half circled Anshan.
Many people were dirty, covered in dust and dirt, and hadn't cleaned up for a long time.
Now, facing the warm sunshine, taking a good wash makes me feel refreshed.
This river is called Khan River by the people in Anshan, which means it is a river opened up by their ancestors with sweat and time.
The residents of Anshan were very enthusiastic. They took many people from Dayue to visit the orchard and Anshan, telling them stories about the past of this desolate desert.
Every tree on this mountain and every drop of water in the river have flowed with the blood and sweat of our ancestors.
It is the hard work of our ancestors that has created the peaceful and beautiful scenery of Anshan today.
There was also the shadow play technique that Li Yuan brought, and the residents of Anshan happily performed it for the people of Dayue.
It’s still the familiar two scenes [The birth of the mountain god, and the mountain god asking for water].
The people of Dayue have always admired Li Yuan, and now that they know some of the past, they understand that he is truly an immortal god with a lot of humanity.
Completely different from other immortals and gods.
Zhang Tiansheng was bringing Li Xiaoan and supervising him in washing up.
The Emperor of Heaven didn't want to take care of the child.
However, Li Yuan returned to the top of Anshan Mountain at night, and Biao transformed into a cute black-skinned little boy and went out to purchase things with him.
After Li Xiaoan woke up, he had no choice but to follow him.
Zhang Tiansheng had no choice but to take care of the baby for a while.
"Uncle Zhang, are my teeth white?"
Li Xiaoan brushed his teeth with a wooden stick and washed his face carefully.
Lord Li Yuan once said that I should pay more attention to washing myself and maintaining personal hygiene.
Li Xiaoan is very obedient and washes carefully every day.
Zhang Tiansheng put on a friendly smile:
"White."
Li Xiaoan muttered, "Uncle Zhang, you are so perfunctory, try again!"
"Master Li Yuan always praises me with many words!"
Zhang Tiansheng couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
In the small town of Anshan.
Emperor Dayue was discussing matters with many ministers.
People need to rest for a few days to relieve emotional stress and physical fatigue.
As emperors and important officials, they had to arrange all matters, big and small, within these few days.
There are problems with food shortages, wood and stone shortages, and housing problems for the people...
There are too many things that need to be discussed and planned out, and at least there should be someone responsible for doing it, and it can't be done in a chaotic manner.
The princes and princesses stood obediently in the corner and listened, trying not to make any noise.
This is not the once magnificent and glorious Dayue Imperial Palace, and there is no imperial throne or precious phoenix.
This is the spacious lobby of a private house.
Moreover, this one is relatively spacious, in comparison with other houses.
Even Emperor Dayue simply sat on a small stool to discuss matters, let alone these young princes and princesses.
Many ministers could only huddle together and discuss matters while standing.
In the spacious wooden house, Emperor Dayue sat on a small stool.
Although the small stool was a little uncomfortable for his butt, he sat upright with a dignified posture, exuding the majesty of an emperor.
It was the rolled-up sleeves and the mud on the edge of his robe that added a touch of worldliness to Emperor Dayue.
The ministers filled the entire room. One of the ministers with a loud voice howled, and then you and I said something, and in an instant the place became like a vegetable market.
There was a minister who kept silent and wanted to fart secretly, but he managed to stink up the whole room.
Even Emperor Dayue was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh and started cursing at the man.
Ministers who had known each other for many years were crowded together. Occasionally, they would look at each other closely. Seeing each other's embarrassment, they would inexplicably want to laugh, and the corners of their mouths were harder to suppress than AK.
'Haha, you old man, have ended up like this!'
'Hey, your head is like a chicken coop, how good is it!'
It is said that distance creates beauty. At this moment, the atmosphere between the ministers was indeed subtle.
However, no one complains about the simplicity of this place.
Along the way, we slept in mud puddles and among bushes. When we were tired, we just sat on the ground. There was no need to be so particular.
Ensuring people’s livelihood and ensuring a stable life is the top priority.
This land will be their home where they will live for a long time.
We must neither over-abuse the hard-earned resources nor let the people live in too tight a situation.
The degree of this is very difficult to control.
There was also the problem of insufficient materials, and the need to reconstruct various details of the composition.
Jokes aside, when it comes to serious matters, the ministers were almost dizzy with ideas, and many of them were frowning and rushing to conduct on-site inspections.
They talked a lot, discussed what could be done at the moment, and recommended suitable talents among their subordinates.
Emperor Dayue also frowned, thinking hard about the subsequent plans for people's livelihood.
This is about the same difficulty as starting from scratch. Otsuki has nothing now except people.
Anshan’s products and resources are indeed relatively poor.
After all, this was a deserted desert before.
