Li Yan knew very well that his space did not have any offensive ability. It did not even have any active defense ability. The only use it had was to grow vegetables. It was probably only for him to hide inside.
Li Yan had no confidence in using the Space to deal with the Dreamy Cloud Swamp. After all, the Dreamy Cloud Swamp was one of the five forbidden areas of the continent. Moreover, there were undead creatures and poisonous Magical Beasts there. The Space did not have any offensive power. How could he use it to deal with the Dreamy Cloud Swamp?
Time passed unknowingly. Li Yan really couldn't think of any good ideas. In the end, he could only decide that if the magical beasts in the Cloud Dream Swamp came out, they could only rely on the castle to fight them first. If it really didn't work, they could only bring everyone into the space. There were more than ten acres of land in the space, so it could at least accommodate these people.
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly heard a commotion coming from outside. He looked up and realized that it was almost noon. Those slaves should have come back for dinner.
Just as Li Yan stood up and was about to go outside to take a look, he saw Zhao Xuan, Bruiser, and Goudan walking in quickly. The three of them immediately came up to him and bowed to him."Young Master."
Li Yan nodded and smiled at the three of them."Go and make some arrangements. The cornstalks and cobs on the open space outside are used for burning fires. If those slaves feel cold at night, let them use those things to keep warm.”
"Young Master, what's that corn?" Zhao Xuan looked at Li Yan in confusion.”
Li Yan smiled and said," The corn is the main crop that we will be planting in the future. The yield per mu can reach more than 2,000 catties. The corn stalks and cobs can also be used to burn the fire. I have already discussed this matter with Grandma Li Na. We will be planting corn in the future.”
Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up as she looked at Li Yan and said,""Young Master, is the yield of that corn really that high?”
Li Yan smiled and nodded." It's true. Alright, go and arrange for them to eat. Grandma Li Na is almost done cooking. After arranging for them, you guys can come back and eat too. I have something to say later.”The three of them nodded and turned to walk out of the castle.
At this moment, Li Na also walked out of the house. She also heard the commotion outside and looked outside, but she did not pay much attention to it. Li Na understood Zhao Xuan very well and knew that Zhao Xuan could handle the matters outside. She turned to Li Yan and said,"Young Master, come and eat. The food is ready.”
Li Yan nodded and followed Li Na into the dining room. Li Na went to the kitchen to bring food. Li Yan sat in the dining room in a daze. He realized that he seemed to be getting lazier and lazier. Back on Earth, he had to prepare his own three meals a day, clean the room, and complete every housework by himself.
On the Tian Yuan Continent, he was a young master. If he wanted to, he didn't even need to put on his own clothes. Naturally, he didn't need to do his own household chores. Honestly speaking, this habit was a terrifying thing. In just a few days, Li Yan had already gotten used to having others wait on him for everything.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Na had already come in with a tray. Their food was still very simple. They were eating bread, vegetables, and some meat. This meat was only for Li Yan. They didn't have anything like Tie Dan and Gou Dan.
Although the food was very simple, Li Yan could see Li Na's concern for him from the simple food. In the entire castle, the food he used was the best, and the food he ate was also the best. The entire castle was centered around him. This feeling made Li Yan very grateful, but also felt a lot of pressure.
He was no longer the playboy he used to be. He was a responsible man. The better Li Na and the others treated him, the more pressure he felt. These people all lived with him as the center of their lives. In other words, these people relied on him to survive. Although the Carlin family was in trouble now, as long as he was alive, the Carlin family would exist. These people would not be bullied by the other nobles. Perhaps Li Na and the others were already very satisfied with this.
However, Li Yan was not satisfied. These people lived with him as the center, so he had the responsibility to let these people live better. Under the current situation, he was under great pressure to let them live better.
Li Na noticed that Li Yan was not eating and was staring at the plate in a daze. She thought that Li Yan was dissatisfied with lunch and quickly said,"Young Master, what's wrong? Is this food not to your taste?"
Li Yan came back to his senses and turned to Li Na with a smile."No, Grandma Li Na, this meal is very good. I'm just thinking that when I can let everyone in the castle eat such food, I'll be satisfied.”
Li Na's eyes turned red. She looked at Li Yan and smiled."As long as Young Master's space is here, it will be done sooner or later. I believe in Young Master.”
"Yeah, that day will come sooner or later." Li Yan nodded.”As they were talking, Zhao Xuan and the other two walked in from outside. Li Na immediately went to the kitchen to bring out the food that she had prepared for the three of them.
When they were almost done eating, Li Yan turned to Li Na and said,"Grandma Li Na, arrange for them to go mining in the afternoon. This matter should be placed first. I'll take care of the valley. You just have to send me there every day and bring me back.”
After Li Na saw Li Yan's amazing performance in the space, her confidence in Li Yan increased greatly. She immediately nodded and said,"Alright, I'll organize them to pick stones in the afternoon. Young Master, you should have a good rest in the afternoon.”
Li Yan nodded. He also knew that he could not help much now. Because he had drunk the Void Water, his current body was not as strong as those slaves who worked all year round. Moreover, Li Na and the others would not let him pick stones.
After eating and resting for a while, Li Na immediately organized the slaves to mine stones. They still had some tools for mining stones. In addition, when the castle was first built, the stones used were of good quality, so there was not much damage. They mainly mined stones to make some stone weapons.
These stone weapons were not very difficult to make. Most of them were made of stone spears, stone hammers, and stone axes. There was no way to make them into things that were too powerful.
Although there were only a hundred of them and less than fifty male slaves who could fight, they could not prepare too few weapons. Stone weapons were very easy to break, so each person had to prepare a few spare weapons.
In addition, he still had to mine more stones and put them on the castle to be used as stones. After all, when Li Yan and the others were preparing their weapons, they had never thought of fighting head-on with those undead creatures and poisonous magical beasts. They did not have the ability to do so. They could only rely on the castle to defend. This was under the condition that there were few undead creatures. Otherwise, they would not be able to defend at all.
However, the problem soon came. Although this place used to be an iron mine, it was an iron mine that had already been mined by the dwarves. Moreover, the place where stones could be mined in the belly of the mountain had now become a lake in the mountain. Therefore, Li Na and the others spent the entire afternoon just finding the mining site.
In the end, Li Na and the others found a small mine not far from the castle that could be mined. However, this small mine could not extract too many stones. Li Na could not help but sigh. This mine that had been mined by the dwarves really looked like it had been robbed. It was so clean that it made people want to cry.
After walking around for the entire afternoon, Li Na and the others had no choice but to return to the castle dejectedly. They realized that the method of mining stones to make weapons would not work. Firstly, they did not have any experience mining stones. Secondly, the tools in their hands were not very handy. Their work efficiency was too slow. In addition, there were not many stones here. Even if they mined all of them, it would not be enough. In the end, Li Na could only tell Li Yan about this situation, and the plan had to be canceled.
Li Yan was really resting in the afternoon. His physical strength was not good now. He woke up in the morning to exercise and walked so far. He was really tired and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
When he woke up, Li Na and the others had already returned. Hearing Li Na's words, Li Yan had no choice but to wait. After Zhao Lin returned, he would sell the radishes and buy some weapons from outside.
During this period of time when Zhao Lin didn't return, they couldn't do anything. If the death spirit creatures and poison attributed Magical Beasts from the Cloud Dream Swamp really attacked, then they could only hide in the space.
Just as Li Yan was at his wit's end, Zhao Xuan suddenly ran in from outside with an excited expression. After entering the house, she immediately said happily to Li Yan,"Young Master, I have good news." Ever since Li Yan improved the soil for the first time and Zhao Xuan hugged him excitedly, Zhao Xuan had unknowingly changed. Now, when she saw Li Yan, she no longer lowered her head. She was much more natural and lively than before.
Li Yan and Li Na were both stunned. Li Na immediately said,"What is it?"
Zhao Xuan immediately smiled and said," Grandma, a slave came to me just now. He said that he knows how to weave grass. He can weave the grass on the mountain into all kinds of things. Mats, curtains, straw shoes, and so on.”
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He thought that this was an opportunity. It turned out that in the rules he set for the removal of those slaves, it stated that as long as they had a skill and performed well, they could be removed from their slave status. However, these few days, none of those slaves took the initiative to say that they had a skill. Although they worked hard, Li Yan was still very disappointed.
Li Yan also knew that those slaves wouldn't be able to change their minds in a short period of time. They were afraid, so they didn't dare to show anything. If they wanted to change this situation, it would take an extremely long process. Moreover, someone had to set an example.
Those slaves had been oppressed for too long, and their thoughts had become rigid. It would take a long time for them to accept this new rule.
Li Yan was already mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that the slaves would give him a surprise today. Someone actually took the initiative to stand up. Although he was only talking about an inconspicuous skill, this leader was too good. When Li Yan set that rule, he had the intention of buying a horse bone with a thousand gold. Now, the horse bone had appeared.
