In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Chapter 154 No Natural Disaster

Jiang Mianmian took out a piece of ice and explained the concept of Celsius and what below zero meant in detail. After she finally explained it clearly, everyone's expression changed.

They checked and checked again, their expressions gradually becoming serious. "The progress of the underground city needs to be accelerated, otherwise, I'm afraid not half of the 80,000 people will survive."

"We still need to rush to make cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but we have nothing on hand."

"There's still food and water!"

Each person said a sentence, and the clerk's hands were practically flying as he recorded them.

After they finished speaking, Jiang Mianmian said, "I only told you half about the temperature just now, now I'll tell you the other half."

Her slender fingers slid from the bottom of the thermometer directly to over thirty degrees Celsius. "The temperature outside is just normal right now. It will continue to rise in a few days, at least to... this level."

"Fifty degrees!"

"How are we supposed to dig an underground city like this?!"

There was another gasp from inside the room, but fortunately, everyone there (except for the little mouse) had seen a lot and quickly forced themselves to calm down.

Magistrate Ye wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Luckily, I didn't continue eastward, or I would have died of heatstroke on the road!"

"So what we need to discuss now is how to ensure everyone can safely get through the extreme heat while preparing for the extreme cold!"

Jiang Mianmian decided to get down to business first, "I will still provide ice, food and other supplies, the rest is up to you."

In fact, once the main supplies are in place, the extreme heat can be overcome smoothly. However, there are still various trivial matters such as distribution and incentives to deal with, but she will not waste time on these matters.

Because she has more important things to do.

Shi Yi cupped his hands in greeting, "Miss Mianmian has already done a great service by providing these things. I believe the people will be grateful to you. As for the rest, please leave it to us."

"Yes, you absolutely mustn't overwork yourself."

Magistrate Ye rolled his eyes inwardly. What a sycophant!

With them taking the lead, everyone else will start making comments and taking pictures too.

Ye Hansheng slapped the table, "What time is it? Stop doing this useless stuff. My sister Mianmian hates this the most."

Jiang Mianmian suppressed a laugh and nodded, "Let's talk about it one by one, so I can see what supplies we can use, like housing."

"Yes, I just moved to a makeshift house yesterday, but it's even hotter inside than outside."

Qingrui complained, "It's even hotter inside the tent, so finding a place to stay is a big problem."

Shi Yi suggested that they could go into the mountains to find suitable caves to stay temporarily, but with a population of 80,000, the number of caves would be far from enough.

The others looked worried, "Yeah, yeah, what are we going to do?"

Jiang Mianmian said, "We can add a high-temperature sun protection board to the top of the makeshift house, and add ice blocks, which should be enough. At least the human body can tolerate it."

The others' eyes lit up, and they nodded repeatedly. Problem solved!

Ye Hansheng picked up the thread, "Then the next item, water? We have river water now, but it might dry up under the high temperature."

"We stored water in advance and dug wells."

"We still need to dig a deep well. I'll post a notice tomorrow to find craftsmen."

Jiang Mianmian: "I have tools for digging a well."

Everyone exclaimed, "That saves us a lot of trouble!"

Another problem solved.

Then there's food. We can't rely solely on granaries. Jiang Mianmian provided several drought-resistant crops that can be grown, such as genetically modified pumpkins and cacti, and also suggested building sun-protected greenhouses.

Last but not least, healthcare.

Jiang Mianmian looked at Cheng Nian, "Eighty thousand people, all doctors will follow your command. You are to establish a medical system similar to that of the Immortal Realm. From now on, we will have to call you Dean Cheng."

"I will handle it!"

Since performing surgery on Ye Xiujue, Cheng Nian has developed a strong interest in modern medicine.

Now that I can learn and practice, I'm naturally very happy to have this opportunity.

With the basic direction set, the group discussed many specific details. For example, the hospital was to be located on an estate given by Old Madam Ye. The estate was large enough that the original owner had disappeared, so Old Madam Ye had taken it over, and now it would be put to good use.

For example, where to build the greenhouse, select a group of people to start adding sun protection boards to the temporary houses, digging wells, etc.

After finishing all that, Jiang Mianmian closed and locked the door and began to talk about personal matters.

Of course, they still used the excuse of the fairy bestowing blessings to describe Peach Blossom Spring as the fairy's blessed land. "Based on the above work, the fairy has given a small number of places for everyone to live in. However, if you want to go in, you must first sign an employment contract with me."

Everyone: "!!!"

"There are such wonderful places? No extreme heat, no extreme cold, no natural disasters?"

Jiang Mianmian scratched her head. "It's not exactly a good place, is it? It's about the same as before this place was hit by the natural disaster. Think it through, once you sign the contract, there's no going back."

Ye Hansheng jumped up excitedly, "Sign, sign, sign! I'll sign!"

"You wait a moment."

Magistrate Ye grabbed him, "Once you go in, will you be able to come out again?"

"Sure, but even if you get out, you'll still be under a signed contract. To put it simply, you've been sold to me, so you have to do whatever I tell you to do, and you have to be wherever I tell you to be. You'll still have to keep doing these jobs."

"Sign, sign, sign! I'll sign!" Ye Hansheng broke free from Magistrate Ye and continued shouting.

Without hesitation, the mouse exclaimed, "I'll sign too!"

Jiang Mianmian told them not to rush, "You can think about it for one night and give me a definite answer tomorrow."

She deliberately called the contract a contract of servitude in order to screen potential clients.

There are very few spots available in Taoyuan now. To get in, one must have absolute trust or loyalty to her. These people are different from Madam Ye, especially Magistrate Ye Shiyi and the others. They have all served as officials and are at most work partners with her. She has to consider this one more layer.

As the crowd's excitement gradually subsided, they took their leave one by one.

Jiang Mianmian called Qingrui and Granny Li separately, "This is a good thing. After we settle things with them, I need you to help me choose some people who are willing to follow me. Once we enter Taoyuan, they can help me build houses and farm."

No matter how well the campsite is built, it can only contribute some merit points.

Peach Blossom Spring is her true territory!

“I’ve already made up my mind. I’m definitely going to sign with you, but I still need to go back and discuss it with my in-laws.”

Qingrui gently touched her belly, smiling shyly.

"Pregnant? Congratulations! How many months along?"

Jiang Mianmian was overjoyed.

New life is especially precious in the face of natural disasters.

"Then you need to discuss it as soon as possible. Once we've decided, I'll take you to Peach Blossom Paradise so you can take good care of your pregnancy!"

"Ok!"

Qingrui agreed, then looked at Granny Li, "Granny Li, what about you?"

"I'll sign it right now! I'm all alone, what difference does it make where I go?"

Granny Li looked at Jiang Mianmian expectantly, "Is it okay?"

"Okay, let's take Qingrui back first."

As soon as the three of them went outside, they found Li Shiliang already waiting there.

The tough guy's face softened with tenderness. "Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

She gave him a reproachful look and gestured for him to greet Jiang Mianmian.

Li Shiliang's face flushed red. "Miss Mianmian, I'm sorry."

"It's alright, I understand. You guys go back now, and come find me tomorrow morning once you've made up your minds."

Jiang Mianmian remembered that Li Shiliang was good at blacksmithing and had given her a lot of exquisite sickles last time!

It seems she's determined to sign with the Li family!
