The two of them smoothed the ground and poured some water on it. After it dried, there was basically nothing visible. It was pitch black here anyway.

Shui Ling returned the same way. It was already dark outside, so she went back to rest under the moonlight.

The next day was still about getting the pigs into the water. When they went to the Yamen, they didn't find Gong Qianyu. She left a note and wandered on the street.

When I saw chickens, ducks, geese, and piglets being sold, I bought them all. I also bought two white-striped pigs and asked them to take them to the beach.

This time Shuiling chartered a boat to send these seedlings and two white-striped pigs to Qionghai City.

Bai Rui smiled happily when he saw what she brought back, and immediately asked someone to take it away carefully.

Shui Ling put away a pig, and this one was going to be given to the people behind the mountain.

The little eunuch seemed to have no intention of going back. He rolled his eyes and said, "Princess, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."

Shui Ling raised her eyebrows, "Generally, people who say this will say unpleasant things, so just say it if you have anything to say."

The little eunuch grinned and said, "I don't want to go back."

"Huh? Did the emperor say that?" Shui Ling thinks there is no use leaving a eunuch here.

The little eunuch said: "The emperor said that the slave has to pay for it himself when he goes back. The slave is poor and has no money."

"..." Shui Ling was speechless. Everyone was so weird. What were they doing?

"Then you won't go. There happen to be two girls here. You go and play with them. You don't have to follow me." Shui Ling disliked being followed.

The little eunuch added: "The most urgent task is to be self-sufficient."

These words struck Shuiling's heart. She nodded and said, "That's right, I didn't just buy the seedlings and keep them first."

After a pause, she continued: "I don't believe that Pearl City will restrict us from shopping."

The young eunuch smiled lightly, "The Imperial Preceptor predicted that there will be a severe drought, and people from the surrounding areas will definitely flock to Pearl City. When the time comes, Pearl City will protect itself..."

Shui Ling pursed her lips, and her eyes showed seriousness. Yes, if villagers poured into Pearl City, it would be normal for Pearl City to close its doors. After all, if there are too many people, there will be chaos, and in chaos, someone will get hurt.

She touched her chin and said, "I know."

Shui Ling returned to the beach, took out the compressed biscuits and threw them into the water. The dolphins in the pit quickly floated up.

"Little dolphin, help me drive more fish." After saying that, he threw another basket of fruits in.

After the dolphin finished eating, it happily chased away the fish. It was already familiar with how to operate it.

Shui Ling returned to his residence and quickly planned the map and where to start construction. Then he gave the plan to Bai Rui and asked him to lead people to do things step by step.

The elderly and children kept animals, and a few middle-aged women were assigned to take care of the vegetable fields.

When the appointed time came, Shui Ling came to the plain in the back mountain. The lake here was dug to a depth of one meter. After all, the area was too large, so it would be good if it could be dug to a depth of one meter.

Shui Ling collected the extra soil and took it to the other side of the mountain for planting. The soil on that side was harder and more gravelly.

Xiao Haiyou saw Shui Ling looking at the lake and frowning, and said somewhat sarcastically: "This is already as fast as we can do it."

Seeing his misunderstanding, Shui Ling immediately said: "I don't mind being slow, but I think the soil here is relatively soft, which will cause water to drain away. A layer of clay can be laid underneath, followed by gravel and sand."

Xiao Haiyou nodded, "Yes, but what about the lake shore?"

Shui Ling replied: "Lay the stone slabs and apply waterproof glue. I will give you the materials when the time comes. Now you have to dig quickly."

"By the way, I brought a pig to you." Shuiling took out the white-striped pig he bought.

Xiao Haiyou's eyes shone brightly, "Thank you City Lord, we are all good and have not eaten pork. If we are too greedy, we will catch red deer, but the meat of red deer is very poor and not delicious."

Shui Ling nodded, "Are there only animals like red deer here? Nothing else?"

Xiao Haiyou nodded, "There are no wild boars, there are hares, and there are some pheasants, but they are not fat and can only make soup."

Shui Ling understood that this was because there was not much food available here. Most of the pheasants were thin because they had not enough seeds to eat.

She summoned Dabai and ran into the distance. There was a birch forest in the distance. It was quite interesting to think of the birch trees growing on the seaside.

There were pheasants flying around in the woods, and every pheasant was indeed skinny and skinny.

She took out barbed wire from the space and surrounded the entire forest, covering the top with wire mesh. The pheasants inside became caged chickens before they returned to their spiritual state.

She also took out a few chickens from the chicken coop outside the villa and threw them in to act as an actor to tame the pheasants.

Xiao Haiyou rode a red deer and came closer. He was speechless.

Shui Ling smiled and said, "Come, I'll teach you how to open the door."

Xiao Haiyou is as well-behaved as a child. He learns to open the door from Shui Ling. The main thing is that he can open the door latch.

Entering inside, Shuiling took out several bags of feed pellets and corn flour. This corn flour is the kind that has the corn cobs crushed together and is specially used to make feed.

"One bucket of noodles, one bucket of granules, mix half a bucket, and then feed it to the chickens."

"If you have green grass, you can chop it up and mix it together. It won't take long for these pheasants to become fat."

Xiao Haiyou nodded fiercely, "I understand."

Shuiling touched her chin and asked, "Is the fresh water okay?"

"No problem, there is a spring, and we usually have enough water." Xiao Haiyou replied.

Shui Ling looked at the woods and said, "There are almost a hundred pheasants here, and maybe a lot of eggs. Find some stable people to take care of them."

"Okay." Xiao Haiyou was so excited that he could only say yes.

Shui Ling thought for a while, "Have all your people come back?"

Xiao Haiyou nodded, "They're back. I'll let them go to sleep for a while now. They've been digging for two days."

Shui Ling smiled slightly, "Then let them have a good rest. Our lake still needs to be dug. Try to dig it thirty feet."

"Yes!" Xiao Haiyou replied seriously, obviously taking this as an order.

Shui Ling didn't explain much, it was urgent to save water now.

Back in the village, Shui Ling saw many children playing with sand crabs. She asked, "Are there many crabs here?"

Xiao Haiyou replied: "There are many, especially at night, all over the beach."

"Catch some for me, they need to be this big." Shui Ling gestured with his hand to indicate a size.

"Okay." Xiao Haiyou immediately agreed without asking what he was doing with that thing.

Shui Ling had already thought about how to explain it, but now it felt a little uncomfortable being held in her stomach.

"Sand crabs can be made into crab sauce, which will become the special sauce of our Qionghai City. Don't worry, our Qionghai City will be richer than Pearl City in a short time."

"Each of us lives in a big house, enjoys good food and drinks, and can even marry a wife." Shui Ling knows the power of painting a big cake.

Sure enough, a burning light appeared in Xiao Haiyou's eyes, filled with yearning and expectation.

However, a discordant voice came, "Humph, you people just talk empty words and make us people work to death. In the end, we work so hard that we get nothing."

Shui Ling raised her eyebrows and looked back...
