Chapter 32 Food Motivation

"You are quite eloquent."

After drinking a bowl of rice porridge with minced meat as if he was getting revenge, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but laugh at Fang Chen as he looked at the refugees who were full of energy.

"It doesn't matter what you tell me. It's mainly because of this bowl of lean meat porridge. Otherwise, they would be the same as they were before."

Fang Chen did not deny that shouting slogans could bring a certain spiritual motivation effect, but for this group of refugees, no matter what they shouted, it was not as good as a bowl of fragrant lean meat porridge.

He knows better than anyone that what you say is not important, what is important is what you do afterwards.

"That's true, but now that they admire you even more, it's much easier to command them to do things."

Lin Qingshan nodded slightly. He quite agreed with Fang Chen's words.

After all, he hadn't tasted lean meat porridge for a long time.

"I have placed all the tools and materials in this storage bag. There are no restrictions. You can open it freely. You can take a group of people to build a residence first. We will build it according to the form we just discussed."

He untied a storage bag from his waist, which contained the bamboo that Fang Chen had chopped on the way, as well as various tools and materials that he had purchased when passing through some mortal towns.

He was not short of gold and silver. After all, there were often some short-sighted bandits who came to contribute their property to him, and he could only accept it enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, even if you set a ban, I can open it. It just takes some effort. But do you really want them to live in a house like this?"

Taking the storage bag, Lin Qingshan said proudly.

Of course, he was more curious about Fang Chen’s plans for his residence.

A bamboo building covering an area of ​​nearly two acres is nothing unusual, and he has seen more magnificent buildings than this before.

But he didn't understand why Fang Chen designed it into a straight-up and straight-down tube shape.

Moreover, there are eight floors planned above the first-floor stilt house. The second floor is used as a canteen, the top floor is Fang Chen's single room, and the remaining six floors have one hundred rooms each.

In addition, there is a large bathroom on each floor.

Ordinary bamboos naturally could not support such a building, so Fang Chen provided him with dozens of nine-zhang-tall and nine-inch-thick bamboos as the foundation.

It was also specifically mentioned that he should use his knowledge of runes to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the bamboo.

Regarding this point, Lin Qingshan did not refuse.

Now he has boarded the pirate ship and is in the center of the Spirit Swamp. Although as a mortal he is not afraid of an environment without spiritual energy, that damn swamp can easily swallow his life.

This is an open-air prison, there is no way to escape, and all supplies are in the hands of Fang Chen, so we can only obey his orders.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Fang Chen is a pretty good person.

Despite this, some of his plans were still difficult for Lin Qingshan to accept.

For example, for the bathroom on each floor, he asked him to find a way to allow groundwater to flow into it automatically, and there should also be a hot water option, and it would be best if there was a temperature adjustment function.

Is this something a normal person would ask?
Not only that, he was also required to design a flushing system for all toilets, and collect the excrement flushed down the toilets through pipes and ferment them into fertilizer.

When Lin Qingshan first heard these requests, he wondered if Fang Chen had any misunderstandings about his abilities.

He is just good at formations, runes and prohibitions, but he is not an omnipotent god who can fulfill all wishes.

Fortunately, Lin Qingshan doesn’t know what the evil Party A means, otherwise he would definitely associate it with Fang Chen’s image.

Considering the lean meat porridge that was cooking in the pot, Lin Qingshan, who was about to eat the food, also agreed.

Although these requirements may sound fantastic at first glance, they are actually difficult to achieve.

However, he was still very confident in his abilities. His cultivation had been neglected over the years, but his brain had not become dull.

The deduction of formations, prohibitions and runes became his means of passing time. It was a pity that he did not meet Fang Chen earlier and realize that he could use these to reuse his spiritual energy.

"That's natural. The house was designed for you to live in, including me, of course."

After a pause, he continued, "And the current design is not perfect yet. We just have to compromise because we urgently need a place to live."

Fang Chen could understand why Lin Qingshan asked this question.

He also realized that although this man was sympathetic to mortals, deep down he still believed that mortals should not enjoy the convenience brought by cultivation arts such as formations.

He had no intention of correcting anything about this. This concept was not formed in an instant, and it was impossible to collapse it with a few declarations of justice.

Only by influencing him subtly through actions can we truly change this concept. "You are such a great person."

Lin Qingshan admired from the bottom of his heart. If he were in the same position, he would never consider these mortals.

"Okay, stop flattering me."

Fang Chen felt that he was not worthy of the word great.

He provided these conveniences in order to reduce the time ordinary people spent on their daily lives and thus increase surplus labor time.

But compared to the evil feudal society, this kind of capitalist work seems to be a blessing.

"I see everyone has finished eating, let's get ready to work."

Fang Chen quickly changed the subject, clapped his hands, and used his magic power to let the sound reach everyone's ears, instantly focusing all the refugees' attention on him.

"Exquisite mana control."

Lin Qingshan secretly admired on the side. Even though he had lost all his cultivation, his eyesight was still there and he could see the extraordinary aspect of this move.

"Everyone, is the lean meat porridge delicious?"

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Fang Chen was not afraid of the stage and asked loudly.

No one responded.

Everyone just stared at him blankly.

“Is the lean meat porridge delicious?”

Fang Chen remained calm and continued to ask.

"Delicious."

Several people's voices were heard sporadically.

“Is the lean meat porridge delicious?”

Fang Chen first nodded to the people who answered the question, and then repeated it.

“Delicious!”

This time the response was unanimous.

"Want some more?"

"think--"

The response was clearly several decibels higher than before.

"If you want to drink more, then finish your work arrangements for this afternoon. I will divide you into groups of eight and record the work status of each group. This will determine the dinner for each group. The three groups that work the hardest will each receive an extra piece of meat as a reward. The group with lazy people will have to go hungry tonight."

Fang Chen spoke slowly, without using any profound words, to ensure that everyone present could understand what he said.

Sure enough, when they heard that there was meat to eat, fighting spirit burst out in everyone's eyes.

However, after hearing that being lazy would lead to starvation, some people panicked, while others didn't care at all.

Fang Chen took out the personnel roster compiled by Lin Qingshan. This guy was indeed quite capable. He had compiled the information of more than 400 people in less than two hours.

Although you only need to know the name, gender, age and what kind of work you are good at, it takes talent to be able to figure it out so quickly.

Fang Chen also watched his operations in the second-generation immortal palace.

First, he picked out a few literate people to help him record, and then asked the men and women to stand in two rows.

On the men's side, they are divided according to whether they are good at farming, carpentry, blacksmithing, etc., and on the women's side, they are divided according to whether they are female workers, weaving, etc.

Then all you need to do is have a few people record it on different pieces of paper, marking the gender and occupation on the paper.

So he really is worthy of being a former array master, he has good mathematical thinking and is skilled in using statistical methods.

Little did Fang Chen know that when he praised Lin Qingshan, the other party was also praising him: "This kid is quite skillful. For this group of people, food incentives are indeed the most effective."
