How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 671: Step by Step, Out of Adversity

Currently, Dayan has no food, but neighboring Great Shang and Da Zheng have abundant rainfall, so food is very plentiful there.

If we want to exchange food with these two countries, we must use goods for trade, and those goods must be something these two countries lack or have in scarcity.

For years, Dayan’s economy has always been at the tail end among several countries, without any particularly outstanding goods.

Whether it’s crops or daily necessities, we cannot compare to these two prosperous nations.

At this moment, Shu’er smiled and said, "People from Great Shang and Da Zheng love beauty and dressing up. Silk and satin are their favorites. Why not vigorously develop the textile industry, and trade fabric and clothing with them for food?"

Tang Zan naturally agreed. Not to mention anything else, most cloth shops now use the weaving machine developed by Shu’er, with high work efficiency.

The raw materials are greatly saved, making them very suitable for exporting to the other two countries.

Once the textile industry is developed, it can also provide jobs for some refugees, reducing social unrest.

Meanwhile, the suitable planting areas have been arranged with farmers and soldiers working together, using seeds from the modern era brought back by Shu’er and soaked in Spiritual Spring Water, ensuring that food is grown as soon as possible.

No matter what, the current food supply is still short. The rain has just fallen, and the food has just been planted, right in the period of scarcity.

There is still food in the national treasury, but it’s not enough to distribute to the common people. That little food can only be used for emergencies.

And this food can only be provided by Shu’er.

Her space is just so big, aside from storing daily necessities, the rest is for farming land.

Fortunately, all this time, Shu’er hasn’t stopped farming; there’s always food maturing in the space.

Even if the maturation time is quick, the land is small, and it’s impossible to cover the entire Dayan.

However, the food donated still needs a label; it cannot always be taken out by Shu’er so obscurely.

Nor can others think that this is food from Shu’er, the Empress herself, who donated the food and might be considered monstrous.

And this label is Pei’s.

The long-silent Pei’s once again appeared in the public’s view.

Pei’s relief points appeared in various cities, where each person receives one kilogram of rice every week, completely free of charge, but they need to work in exchange.

Either weaving cloth or working on land under Pei’s name.

However, proof of poverty needs to be provided, with stamps and signatures from the village chief and county government.

Meanwhile, the people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will secretly investigate to prevent those who do not need help from taking advantage and wasting social resources.

After a few days, the impoverished families in the city all received assistance. And those wealthy families also had people trying to falsely claim rice and were all caught, with their names directly posted outside the relief points.

With so many people coming and going for food daily, these people lost face, and since then, anyone with a bit of status would not take advantage of this small benefit.

Some people found out that the rice here was delicious and immediately were willing to spend money to buy it.

Rice was certainly sold, but it was just as expensive as the market price, with no discounts.

Nobody minded, considering the rice was indeed excellent.

Many high-quality rice varieties couldn’t compare in taste to this one.

The first to notice increased immunity after eating this rice were those impoverished families.

Some minor illnesses were cured as well.

Shu’er was happy to make a profit, and in addition to distributing rice, she also gave out staple foods like sweet potatoes and potatoes; vegetables needed to be purchased because they weren’t as essential as carbohydrates.

Additionally, these impoverished families discovered for the first time that the crops on Pei’s land grew so well.

There were not only grains but also some vegetables; many people came to work here, including long-term laborers and impoverished families repaying grain debts.

When working here, those who were truly in difficult situations and encountered harvest times would also receive some vegetables.

As for other benefits, there were none.

Yet even in days like these, people could see hope.

Actually, the water used for irrigation here had Spiritual Spring Water and a little nutrients added by Shu’er.

When transporting, Shu’er told everyone that they were delivering a solution that promotes crop growth. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Everyone knew she had medical skills, so they didn’t think much of it.

When they saw the crops in the mid-growth stage, only two-thirds of other crops, everyone praised Shu’er’s magical potion.

Since the Spiritual Spring Water concentration wasn’t high and it was covered by nutrients, there was no risk of exposure.

Of course, Shu’er also planned that once this wave of difficulties was over, she wouldn’t openly use the Spiritual Spring Water like this again.

There would always be observant people who might notice something unusual about the water.

Then, domestically they extensively used nutrient solutions containing Spiritual Spring Water to promote plant growth.

This way, the next batch of crops would at least improve people’s physical fitness.

Once the food issue was settled, attention turned to the cloth shops.

Focus still needed to be placed on exports; otherwise, even food would be insufficient.

Then, Pei’s second operation began, starting the breeding of silkworms.

Fortunately, Pei’s had already accumulated a lot of silk since they originally operated cloth shops.

So at this time, Pei’s textile industry was uninterrupted, and with low labor costs, it was enough to provide three meals and a little compensation to hire strong and healthy textile workers.

As Pei’s started hiring and posting job conditions, a large number of people came to apply.

Pei’s selected some qualified people with good physical conditions and moral character, and the intense textile work began.

Fortunately, everyone knew that having a job was very hard to come by, so they were extremely diligent.

Work efficiency was many times higher than before; everyone was well-managed during work.

If anyone made a mistake in principles, everyone looked at that person as if they were a fool.

After all, such a good job opportunity and treatment were hard to find, and fools like that were rare.

Meanwhile, Dayan also issued a series of export policies, strongly encouraging the textile industry.

Then, those who originally dealt in the cloth business seized the opportunity.

Some families were willing to spend a lot of money, then found Pei’s to purchase a large quantity of weaving machines.

Shu’er naturally sold them.

She had prepared many of these machines, knowing that people would be restless.

Some had inquired about buying weaving machines before, and there were quite a few.

She was a businesswoman, so understanding people’s needs, she naturally produced more.
