With the unremitting efforts of everyone, the Endless Sea has not only achieved self-sufficiency in grain, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, salt, iron, gold and silver, but also has surplus materials that can be brought outside to exchange for necessary materials, technology, seeds, seedlings, animal cubs, fish, shrimp and crab seedlings.

The desolate land, which was once covered in snow and ice and covered only with white snow, is now dotted with forests, meadows, farmlands, and rivers, lakes and streams.

The woods and meadows were all replanted by Zhen Xiaomei and others organized by martial artists and ordinary people, and when the trees and weeds survived, Zhen Xiaomei asked people to put a lot of rabbits, foxes and other small animals that they could catch.

As for large beasts such as tigers and bears that are close to extinction, even if Zhen Xiaomei wants to provide them with a convenient place for them to reproduce, she doesn't have so many people to find these behemoths, right?

In order not to delay her established plan, Zhen Xiaomei decided not to do this thing for the time being, which is completely disproportionate to the payout and gain.

In addition to organizing the warriors and ordinary people under her command to plant trees, grass, grains, vegetables, and various melons and fruits, Zhen Xiaomei also organized them to use the rivers, lakes and streams near their respective residences to plant lotus roots, and raise a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs.

Thanks to everyone's blessing of racing one volume at a time, the variety of materials in the Endless Sea will be enriched at once.

Nowadays, all the residents of the Endless Sea, there is nothing that is not rich and inconvenient in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Everyone has long gotten rid of the basic demand that they just want to have a bite to eat, and their biggest wish is that they and their families don't starve to death.

Although the current residents of the Endless Sea have not yet lived a rich life of big fish and meat every day, they have basically achieved the small goal that Zhen Xiaomei once promised, "three meals a day every day, and eat eight or nine percent of the meals".

Even wealthy families, such as martial artists including Zhen Xiaomei, not only can they eat three meals a day well and finely, but also every household always has all kinds of small snacks to facilitate them to replenish their physical strength at any time.

Of course, the best treatment is Zhen Xiaomei, the lord of a place, although she is too busy to do these gadgets, and she has no time to cook delicious meals for herself, but she can't stand the big guy in the endless sea, as long as she gets the opportunity, she will be fed wildly.

She came back late and had no food to eat, and Cheng Mei, Jiang Xiaoyu and other girls had to send her something to eat when they broke their heads.

She didn't care about preparing a small snack for herself, so everyone made it and stuffed it into the box, scrambling to take advantage of her at home to send it to her and hoard it for her to eat slowly.

Although Yun Zhao had a strong aura and a cold expression, so that others didn't dare to feed him at all, he was very happy that these girls who were once orphans rushed to feed Zhen Xiaomei.

In order to let Zhen Xiaomei have different varieties of small snacks to eat at any time, Yun Zhao made a partition food box for her without a teacher.

He carved a formation on the food box, which can keep it fresh to the greatest extent, and every time Zhen Xiaomei eats almost the snacks in the box, he will refill it for her with his own hands.

What pale green winter melon sugar, red bayberry grains, golden pitted apricots, pale red long hawthorn cake, crispy sweet and delicious Jiang rice noodles, soft and sweet jujube paste cake, crispy and salty small twist flowers, slightly spicy and strong dried tofu. Everything is Zhen Xiaomei's favorite food.

In addition to becoming materially affluent and prosperous in towns and villages, the population resources of the Endless Sea have exploded over the past two decades.

Counting the homeless people and orphans that Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao brought back to the Endless Sea one after another, as well as the newborns born one after another over the years, the population of the Endless Sea has now reached about sixty percent of the total population of the outer Kyushu.

This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that Zhen Xiaomei continues to build schools and popularize education, and about seventy percent of these people have embarked on the road of martial arts.

Although most of them have limited talent and have not practiced martial arts for a long time, so it is difficult to achieve any eye-catching achievements, but these mid-to-low-end martial artists have a numerical advantage that cannot be ignored.

There are enough of them, and under Zhen Xiaomei's intentional influence, they have always admired and supported Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao.

With these people as the foundation, Zhen Xiaomei's control over the Endless Sea is beyond doubt.

In addition, a small number of them have no less talent and effort in martial arts than Cheng Zhu, Cheng Mei, Jiang Xiaoyu and others, and the exercises they use are the core exercises of the eight major sects, so even if it is only a few decades, they still have amazing martial arts achievements.

These people, Zhen Xiaomei, all made the best use of them, and arranged important positions suitable for them, and did not despise them at all because they were young, and even deliberately pressed them.

In her words, there is no such thing as seniority in her, and whoever has the ability should be entrusted with important responsibilities and be promoted.

Zhen Xiaomei is so rigid, but if her own strength is a little weaker, Yun Zhao and the others don't believe in her so unconditionally, she has to be stumped by others, both openly and secretly.

But who let her be able to reason with her fists, and she has a rational word in her words and deeds, with a leader like her who advocates fairness and has a strong waist, those who are not capable enough but want to be promoted and make a fortune can only hold it honestly.

***

Nearly twenty years have passed, and Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao received a long letter from Wei Lan in the penultimate month of the twentieth year.

Wei Lan said in the letter that the infighting in the Phantom Flower Palace had come to an end, and a lot of benefits had been ceded, so that Tan Qicai, who had won the help of the Sword Gate, finally won the victory in this infighting, but the Phantom Flower Palace was also greatly damaged because of this.

The things she promised to the Yijian Gate were one of the reasons why the Illusory Flower Palace's vitality was greatly damaged, and the few Illusory Flower Palace elders who were forced to leave took away many disciples and wealth of the Illusory Flower Palace, which was also one of the reasons for the Illusory Flower Palace's vitality.

In addition, Wei Lan also mentioned something that surprised Zhen Xiaomei.

He said that Tan Qicai's family had given up on continuing to search for Tan Hejiu, and the few martial artists they had scattered before had all been recalled to the Phantom Flower Palace by Tan Qicai about a month ago.

Zhen Xiaomei was shocked, you must know that Tan Qicai and her father Cheng Jinfeng are both Qi Condensation Realm martial artists, and they have a long lifespan of up to three hundred years.

With a lifespan of three hundred years and thousands of Phantom Flower Palace disciples in their hands, but they were only willing to send less than a hundred people to spend twenty years looking for their lover/mother, if this was converted into ordinary people with an average lifespan of less than sixty years, wouldn't they be tantamount to only looking for Tan Hejiu for three or four years?

Tsk, that's interesting.
