Chapter 65: Great urban transformation

Views:

When the mighty caravan came out from Chidi, there were already many people waiting outside.

From far away, a crazy voice was heard, "They're back, they're back."

The days without snowflake salt are really tormented. I look forward to it day and night, waiting here every day, not just waiting for these bold caravans to come back from Chidi.

To be honest, because the Red Emperor City is blocked by thousands of miles of yellow sand, although there is a map, no one knows what is going on inside. Who knows if the people in the Red Emperor City are a group of robbers. If they were robbed, people might not be able to get out alive.

This kind of situation is very likely to happen. After all, it is said that Chidi City is poor, so poor that if you see supplies, you have to grab them.

That's why I said that these caravans are really brave, and they entered the red land when their brains became hot.

"Look, their monsters are full of supplies."

"Look quickly, is it snowflake salt?"

"It's in a bag, I can't see clearly."

The entire area bordering Chidi was full of lively voices. The louder the voice, the more people it attracted, and many tribes who heard the news rushed over.

Everyone had the same expression, craned their necks and looked at them without blinking their eyes.

"I have to get salt, otherwise I can't live this day."

"That's right, the meat of the clan is piled up there, no one eats it, and everyone has lost weight."

"Moreover, there is another benefit of the salt in Chidi City. If you eat too much, your whole body will be full of strength. Unlike salt stone, some strange things will always happen to your body if you eat too much."

The human body cannot lack salt. In the past, people did not dare to lick salt rocks too much, because there are various harmful minerals in them, which are not good for the body.

But snowflake salt is different, harmful minerals have been filtered out, and they can eat enough salt according to their body needs.

In the wind and sand in the Chidi, giant beasts came out. The dusty businessmen actually looked very bad, but everyone had satisfied smiles on their faces. They got what they wanted, even beyond their imagination. .

As soon as he came out, a large group of people surrounded him suddenly, which startled them.

However, they dared to enter even the harsh environment of Chidi, and they were not timid.

Just about to ask, what are you doing, the people around shouted loudly, "Have you changed to snowflake salt? Hurry up and change to us."

There was no need for the merchants to yell, and these people took the initiative to exchange snowflake salt.

"You were not robbed by the people from Red Emperor City?"

"Seeing that your giant beast is full of things, it should be replaced."

The sand-faced merchants burst into laughter, "The people in Chidi City are fierce, but they still don't rob us, and it's similar to our usual transactions, but they specially set up a market for trade with us."

"Tsk tsk, let me tell you, that market is amazing..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted, "We don't care whether you have a market or not, we want snowflake salt."

The mouths of the merchants twitched, these ignorant bumpkins.

However, if you want snowflake salt, it's just right.

After thinking about it, he kept the salt his tribe needed, and sold the rest.

Their kind of caravan originally only goes out once a year, so the salt is not enough for their clan for a year, but they have thought about it, after sending the salt to the clan, they will go to Chidi City to exchange for salt.

In this way, if you go back and forth, you can bring back snowflake salt for the clan, and you can sell some at a high price.

Look at these excited people, there's no way their snowflake salt won't sell.

The merchants shouted, "Come here for the salt. There is not much salt, and the best snowflake salt has no impurities."

Wow, the caravan has really changed to Snowflake Salt, which is worth it, and they rushed over, "I... change as much as I have."

It's just that when the salt was changed, when the price was announced, many people were stunned.

The snowflake salt in Chidi City is expensive, but they know the price, why has the price increased again

The merchants raised their eyes, "It's too expensive? Then you go to Chidi City to exchange salt by yourself through Chidi. It's been a long journey."

In fact, it’s hard work, that’s all. After all, it’s just a journey, and there is no danger of them going out to hunt. Even if you want to meet a fierce beast in the desert, it is not so easy.

Moreover, they are not afraid that they will not be able to sell it at this price, even if they can't sell it, they can just keep the salt for their own use. Anyway, their year's salt is far from enough.

When everyone thought about it, they were right, how much risk other people's caravans had taken, and how much hard work they had gone through to get the salt back, it is normal that it is more expensive than Chidi City.

It's just that they change a little less, and they will change again when the caravan from Chidi City arrives.

As a result, the merchants said, "We got the news in Chidi City this time, and their caravans will not come out to sell salt in the future."

What

The caravans in Chidi City are not coming out to sell salt anymore? Doesn't it mean that they will only buy salt from these second-hand salt dealers in the future

The concept of a second-hand salt dealer first appeared in this world.

The merchants asked, "Do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, don't surround it. We still need the Hui people's land."

"Buy it, why don't you buy it." Everyone gritted their teeth and said, it's impossible not to buy it, anyway, they can't live without snowflake salt.

Before the merchants had time to rest, bags of salt were dropped from the giant beast and sold.

The whole scene is actually like a trading market.

Besides these fringe tribes, there were also many people from Ruidi City and Baidi City.

Some of them had bought snowflake salt secretly. When they heard the news, they couldn't bear it, so they rushed over in a hurry, fearing that they would not be able to buy it.

And there are others who have heard people they know brag about how good the snowflake salt is, and they brag so amazingly.

There are more people like this. After all, there was not much salt brought out and sold in Chidi City last time, so they just heard about it.

The news of Snowflake Salt was so crazy that everyone in Ruidi City and Baidi City had heard of this thing called Snowflake Salt.

Because it is so amazing, I don't know how many people are interested in it.

No, I heard that a caravan transported snowflake salt from Chidi, and they hurried over to see if this snowflake salt was as good as the legend said.

As for Ruidi and Baidi's order that they are not allowed to buy snowflake salt from Chidi City, they did not buy it from the people of Chidi City, they bought it from other tribes.

Compared with the marginal tribes, Ruidi City and Baidi City had much more people.

Therefore, in a short time, the scene can be described as a sea of people.

As for several caravans, regardless of the number of people, it is impossible to supply so many people with salt, and they are only selling part of the salt they entrusted.

So, after a while, the merchants said, "Everyone, the salt has been sold out, and the rest is for our own tribe to use."

What

Those who are still waiting are dumbfounded, there will be no more so soon

Even the merchants were a little surprised, because the sales were really fast, and they were sold out as soon as they came out of the bare ground.

Otherwise, add more price next time

Although some people from Ruidi City and Baidi City bought some Snowflake Salt later, most of them did not.

The people in the caravan wanted to leave, but these people insisted on not letting others go, "Don't you still have a lot of salt on your giant beast? Give us some."

The merchants are also helpless, this is what their tribe wants to use.

There is too little salt, not enough to sell.

But, he is a member of the five major forces, so it is not easy for them to refuse directly.

After thinking about it, he explained euphemistically that they needed the salt for themselves, and their own tribe didn't have enough.

Then added another sentence, "You can also want it, but the price has to be this."

This way, you will always get out of trouble, right

So what about the five major forces? It's not that they can't do anything to them blatantly.

In the end, the people from Ruidi City and Baidi City gritted their teeth and replied, "Okay."

It was as if they had been brainwashed by the rumors that this Snowflake Salt was good, and they had to see if it was true.

The merchants all trembled, oh my god, the people in Ruidi City and Baidi City are really rich, so expensive, they agreed without batting an eye.

The eyes of the merchants are bright, and they made a lot of money this time. They just went to Chidi City to transport the salt back, and they actually made so much money.

The merchants glanced at each other, and when they returned to the clan land, they set off to Red Emperor City to exchange salt without stopping.

And the others were taken aback, how could this Snowflake Salt be sold at such a high price

Especially those who bought snowflake salt at a low price just now, it's like taking advantage of the sky.

But it also shows that Ruidi City and Baidi City are really rich.

The bags of salt on the caravan monster were unloaded again, this time they were sold to people from Ruidi City and Baidi City.

In any case, the caravan had to go to Chidi City to buy salt again, because the salt used by their clan was reduced by a large amount.

Those from Ruidi City and Baidi City who had never tasted snowflake salt almost bought salt and tasted it on the spot, and some even grilled meat on the spot.

It is self-evident how good Snowflake Salt is. People who were skeptical at first had expressions of surprise on their faces.

Such a good thing, they bought it a little more expensive, no loss.

Snowflake salt has officially conquered all.

The people from Ruidi City and Baidi City said a little dissatisfied, "Next time you bring more salt back, we'll buy it all."

There are so many of them, this little salt is not enough, and because of their relationship with Chidi City, it is impossible for their caravan to do business with Chidi City, so they can only buy it from the small caravans of these marginal tribes. .

The eyes of the people in the caravan are all bright, this time they have made a lot of money, next time they will definitely bring back some more salt, and they will not be able to make a lot of money.

If these small marginal tribes transported salt, it would not be able to meet the needs of Ruidi City and Baidi City at all, which meant that the price of salt would not fall.

When demand outstrips supply, prices skyrocket, and that holds true everywhere.

The people in Ruidi City and Baidi City resisted the salt, and some were not particularly satisfied and prepared to leave, because this little salt was not enough for them, but there was no way, the salt was almost sold out, so they couldn't get it out of thin air.

Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, a young man in the caravan almost fell off the giant beast for some reason.

This was a very normal thing, but for no reason, everyone in the caravan was extremely tense, and even a group of people couldn't help yelling, "You brat, if you break it, I won't beat you to death. "

Strange, I didn't see them so nervous when unloading the salt just now.

Just one person who almost fell off the giant beast? Do you need to be so nervous

And... these young people didn't get off the giant beast when they unloaded the salt just now. It stands to reason that young people from the caravan are usually arranged to do such things as unloading the salt.

The people who were about to leave looked suspiciously at the people on the giant beast. These young people were holding a package in their arms tremblingly. No matter how you looked at it, they were a little too cautious.

An acquaintance asked, "Did you go to Chidi City to exchange for something good? Hugged so tightly."

"Yes, yes, open our eyes to good things. Speaking of which, it's quite curious what good things can be found in Scarlet Emperor City."

The caravan's faces turned dark, and they hurriedly said, "No, no, where did the good things come from? They also carried salt."

In fact, these young people are holding porcelain bowls carefully. Each of their caravans exchanged less, and they are all ready to take them home and store them well.

Porcelain bowls are better than the treasures in their family's original collection. They are not going to reveal their whiteness, let alone sell them. They hide them secretly and look at them from time to time. How good it is, even thinking about it nice.

Everyone was taken aback, no matter how they looked at the people in this caravan, they were all overly nervous.

At this time, those merchants who did not buy the porcelain bowls had a sour voice, "Isn't it just that they bought a few porcelains, what's so great about hiding them, we can buy them next time."

No matter how it sounds, it's like eating a few catties of sour lemons.

Qi brushed his eyes and looked over, Porcelain? what is that

The voice of the sour lemon sounded again, "Porcelain, that's a good thing, don't the people of Ruidi City regard their pottery as treasure? I don't know how many times their porcelain is better than pottery."

What

There was a sudden silence, and then there was an uproar.

Especially the people in Ruidi City, who are better than their pottery? This bragging is too much, their pottery is inherited from the period of the Three Emperors, it is a symbol of civilization, and no one can match it.

The people in Ruidi City felt restless. Looking at the nervous businessman, they said disdainfully, "Hey, show everyone your porcelain."

Who can brag, dare to brag if there is no real thing at a fair price, people who don't know really think that the porcelain is better than their Ruidi City pottery.

Therefore, no matter what, the merchants have to show the porcelain to everyone to avoid unrealistic rumors.

The people in the caravan looked at the people in Ruidi City with bad expressions, as if they were causing trouble.

From this point of view, if you don't show the porcelain to them today, you can't let it go.

However, the people in the caravan were also a little angry. It was clearly theirs, but the people in Ruidi City forced them to take it out.

However, a small tribe like them can't resist.

Gritting his teeth, he looked at the disdainful and extremely arrogant people of Ruidi City. If you want to show it, then show it to you. This is the humiliation you Ruidi City asked for.

The caravan leader gritted his teeth and said, "Take it out and show it to them, but let's make an agreement first, only to watch it."

The faces of the people in Ruidi City were all ridiculed, as if they really meant something.

But immediately, all expressions froze on his face, so... what is it

Several white porcelain bowls were carefully taken out of the package in the young man's arms.

All eyes were on the porcelain that was as clear as white jade.

I don't know how many people gasped.

This... is porcelain? Shouldn't it be a rare treasure once in a hundred years

The people in Ruidi City were stunned and kept rubbing their eyes.

More people are swallowing, such a beautiful thing.

The leader of the caravan trembled, and hurriedly said, "This is not the most beautiful."

Then he pointed to a larger caravan, "The porcelain they bought is more beautiful, and there are paintings on it that are so beautiful that everything has no color."

Their caravan is weak, and other caravans have to stand up, otherwise they will be miserable.

People in other caravans also want to keep it secret, but this situation seems to be impossible.

Instead of doing nothing, they took out the porcelain they bought. They originally planned to take it to the Hui family and hide it secretly.

When the bowl with a picture of a wandering red carp on it was taken out, almost everyone gasped.

"Treasure, treasure, this is definitely a treasure."

"I have been to the big tribes, and the treasures they brought out were not so beautiful."

Some people's eyes are red.

The leader of the caravan was taken aback because he saw something in the eyes of many people.

His experience made him understand that the things revealed in the eyes of these people are likely to bring disaster to his tribe, and this kind of thing is not unheard of.

He hurriedly said, "Everyone, although this porcelain is beautiful, it is sold in large quantities in Chidi City. You can buy it in Chidi City."

What

Sell... sell? How can this kind of thing be sold

People in other caravans also knew the seriousness of the matter, even the few sour lemon caravans just now knew that they might have caused trouble, so they hurriedly said, "Yes, we can guarantee that these things are the ones we collected in Chidi City. There are many beautiful things called porcelain, and the people of Red Emperor City don’t keep their pottery as tightly as Ruidi City, they sell it.”

Si!

It's unbelievable that something like this is actually being sold.

Who used to say that there are no good things in Chidi City, stand up and see if it hurts

Just snowflake salt and porcelain can make everyone speechless.

The whole scene became lively.

"This porcelain is better than the pottery in Ruidi City."

"No, they still sell it to outsiders."

"The people in Ruidi City used to say that the people in Red Emperor City were poor barbarians."

The faces of the people in Ruidi City were all black, the key is that they strongly asked others to show things for everyone to see.

The merchants continued, "Let me tell you what we bought. There are two unsold porcelains in Chidi City. They are the gifts of the gods and the most beautiful things in the world."

Speaking of this, the members of the caravan were all excited, "That's right, the flowers on the porcelain, once you take a look at them, you will never forget them."

The merchants kept on doing it, and took out the mirror again, "In the future, if anyone says that there are no good things in Chidi City, I will jump up and smack his face. Look, this is also a good thing we bought from Chidi City." thing."

A smooth mirror reflects everyone's expression.

Shocked, shocked, unbelievable.

Don't look at the mirror as a gadget, but in front of people who haven't seen it, it is very magical.

The caravan was surrounded.

What the caravan needs to do now is to introduce these things, explaining that these things can be bought in Chidi City.

Because, if someone thinks these things are unique, their tribe may be miserable.

Now they can't wait to foam at the mouth and let everyone know that there are good things in the Red Emperor City, and these good things are all bought from the Red Emperor City.

When night fell, the people surrounding the caravan left.

And the snowflake salt, porcelain, and mirrors in Chidi City spread to every corner of the earth like a gust of wind. The most lively thing today is to discuss these things. The imperial city seemed to be starting to change.

The result of this is that the next day, the people of the caravan are going to enter Chidi again and go to Chidi City, because this time they have tasted the sweetness.

They have made a lot of money just from the snowflake salt, not to mention the porcelain and mirrors that they don't sell. They believe that if they are willing to sell their porcelain and mirrors, they will definitely make more money.

But they couldn't bear it, the thing was so good that they couldn't bear to sell it.

As a result, they were stunned when they were about to enter Chidi, because... a lot of caravans were heading towards Chidi.

Dumbfounded, what's going on

What I got was the eyes of other caravans, "Can you go to Red Emperor City to buy good things safe and sound? Why can't we?"

Everyone has seen that these caravans made crazy money just selling snowflake salt yesterday, and they are going to make crazy money too.

I didn't see a large number of people from Ruidi City and Baidi City leaving without buying snowflake salt, and the resentment when they left was not small.

With so many people in Ruidi City and Baidi City, they may not be satisfied even if they keep bringing salt back, do you think they can't understand this business

Not to mention there are still porcelain and mirrors, they are still shocked now, they didn't touch them yesterday, anyway they have to change some and touch them.

So, the situation became like this, caravans one after another began to enter Chidi.

They walked out of a commercial route alive.

Under the yellow sun, the sky is full of wind and sand, and there is an endless stream of caravans, forming a long team, walking in the desert.

As long as they work hard to make such a trip, they can earn a lot of money, so why not do it, they are not pampered people, and they have happy smiles on their faces.

The long yellow sand, at this time, is like an ancient epic picture. The desert, which was originally only dead, suddenly became alive.

At this time, Zhuang Yu also returned to Chidi City.

From a long distance, I heard the exclamation of two children.

This voice is familiar to him, it is the voice of his servants, the rain master and the queen of the wind.

As soon as the two children returned to Chidi City, he sent them to the Qingqiu War Clan to find his father, Chidi, but they didn't expect to come back now.

When Zhuang Yu walked into the yard, the two children were being amazed by a group of children from the Golden Centipede Department using snowflake salt, porcelain, and mirrors.

When the two of them left, they didn't have these things.

Moreover, when they first returned to Chidi City, they didn't dare to come in, thinking they went to the wrong place.

Now there is a large area of green outside their Chidi City, with cattle, sheep and cuckoo birds everywhere, plus waterwheels in the water and awnings on the ground.

In a daze, the two boys wiped their eyes outside for a long time and dared not approach.

After finally entering the city, I was taken aback by a group of little radish heads.

Seeing Zhuang Yu coming back, the two children rushed over, their faces full of excitement and excitement. How long have they been gone? Such a big change in Chidi City is all due to their family's young master.

Two little fanboys with stars in their eyes.

Zhuang Yu smiled and asked, "Is my father back yet?"

Yu Shi and Fenghou shook their heads, "Chidi asked us to bring a message to Shaojun. Chidi said that he is not in a hurry to come back, and everything in Chidi City will be taken care of by Shaojun."

Zhuang Yu was taken aback, his mother should have kicked him out long ago, but this year it was an accident.

However, this is also good, the family must be harmonious, his mother has been away with the Qinghu Zhan Clan for more than ten years, and... it is time to return to Chidi City.

Besides, the situation on the land has begun to change now. If only the Four Seasons War Clan exists in Chidi City, it will be a great disadvantage. Originally, their Chidi City was not as strong as other forces because of its sparse population. took some advantage.

Whether or not his mother brings back the Qinghu Warrior Clan depends on his father's ability.

Master Yu and Feng Hou raised their heads, they were extremely proud, and stood behind Zhuang Yu, inseparable. They were the young master's servants, and they should handle all the affairs of the young master.

Bee Kiss also covered her little face, and stood behind Zhuang Yu, with her little face facing the sky, Bee Kiss... Bee Kiss is the number one hidden guard of her brother.

There are only three little tails behind Zhuang Yu.

As a result, the little radish from the Golden Centipede looked at it, and hugged him with all his strength. Brother Yu belongs to us.

Yu Shi and Feng Hou are trying to tease people, you are not allowed to come over, we are the closest people to Shaojun.

Bee Kiss also covered her face, her little face turned red and pushed her away, brother was Bee Kiss.

Mushroom Boy stood on Zhuang Yu's shoulder, giggling, and kissed Zhuang Yu's face, Mushroom Boy's.

Mess up.

Now that this group of little radish heads has all been gathered, it is quite lively.

Zhuang Yu asked again, what happened to Chidi City in the past few days after he left.

Unexpectedly, this question turned out to be something small.

"A desert ceratops came to drink from our river."

"It shook the ground when it walked, scaring many of our cattle and sheep."

"There are nineteen tribes in Chidi City, and each tribe sends out a hunting team to hunt this desert horned dragon. Our Golden Centipede tribe also went, but they let us watch from a distance."

Zhuang Yu was taken aback, desert horned dragon

This is a very large dinosaur that lived in the desert, with rough skin and a huge unicorn on its head.

There are few creatures in the desert, but not none.

This dinosaur actually came to drink water from their river. It was really food. Although the meat was a bit thicker, it had a lot of meat.

Speaking of hunting, a group of little radishheads from the Golden Centipede Division were very excited. They were the only ones in the Golden Centipede Division, so they all went out and watched the entire hunting process from a distance.

This is different from previous hunting, this is hunting real beasts.

Although the desert horned dragon was huge, it eventually fell under the joint efforts of various tribes.

That huge hunting was unforgettable for them all their lives, and a sense of pride was born in their hearts, and they also wanted to hunt such a big prey together like other tribesmen.

Such a huge prey is really rare. The desert is so huge that even the Scarlet Emperor City can't go to every corner of it. From time to time, there are huge prey that don't know where they come from.

However, with the coercion of the ancestor beasts, they should only drink water at the end of the river, far away from the Red Emperor City.

"That dinosaur was as big as a city."

"Its horns are hard, and it is still placed on the square where we train."

"We also got dinosaur meat, and we kept it to eat with Brother Yu."

A group of little radish heads were talking happily.

Zhuang Yu nodded, as long as nothing major happened in Scarlet Emperor City, a desert horned dragon, although powerful, was just food in front of the entire Scarlet Emperor City.

Zhuang Yu thought for a while, their river is a straight line, stretching all the way to the distance.

In fact, this is a waste of water, because the excess water is flowed into the sand, and I don't know where it went.

This is also because Zhuang Yu's memory of the earth was not perfect before. He didn't know what urban planning is, so he dug a straight river.

Now that the situation on the earth has changed, he must develop the Red Emperor City as soon as possible, and some things still have to change.

But it's getting late now, so let's wait for the next day.

Take a group of radish heads to eat the dinosaur meat they were given. Not to mention that the desert ceratopsian has rough skin and thick meat, but the meat inside tastes good.

The next day, Zhuang Yu woke up early in the morning.

To develop the Red Emperor City, we must first make the Red Emperor City suitable for development.

An isolated city, even if it attracts a caravan, will eventually decline one day.

Therefore, Zhuang Yu wants to build Chidi City into a unique city on the land of the city, so that those who have seen it will never forget it.

Zhuang Yu was going to use the excess water in the river. He was going to dig a moat around Chidi City.

In this way, the entire Chidi City will be surrounded by green grass, instead of the current situation, only one side has green grass, and the other side is still yellow sand.

Moreover, in this case, cattle and sheep can be raised in the circle outside the moat, and the grazing area is greatly increased.

He also plans to collect some berry seeds from the merchant and plant them on the edge of the moat, so that the entire Chidi City will be surrounded by fruit trees, and the people of Chidi City can also eat berries that were very rare before.

I believe that there are sun visors and small mushrooms, and I am not afraid that the plants will not survive.

Zhuang Yu's plan is to form several rings outside Chidi City.

The moat is the outermost ring. Outside the moat, there are mainly green grasses for grazing.

Then inside the moat, Zhuang Yu planned a flower path to plant a circle of flowers around Chidi City. The seeds of the flowers must be exchanged with merchants.

In addition to making the Red Emperor City more beautiful, this circle of flowers has another very important role. It will provide the Red Emperor City with sugar, that is, the very sweet sugar.

In the future, there will be more and more bees kissing bees, perhaps enough to provide sugar to the entire Red Emperor City.

So this ikebana is very important, not just for decoration.

Then in the innermost circle, Zhuang Yu plans to open a comprehensive area, including a trading market, etc., and with foreigners coming, the women of Chidi City can also set up a snack street in the comprehensive area, etc. They The bone soup, broth, and bean curd are so delicious, they can also be sold.

Therefore, if a person wants to enter Chidi City, he will pass through a large grassland for raising cattle and sheep, densely packed berry trees on both sides of the moat, the wreath area, and then the comprehensive area before entering Chidi City.

This is what an ideal city periphery should look like.

Zhuang Yu wants all living beings on the earth to sing about the existence of Chidi City, making it a magical place, a place of yearning, instead of an isolated city like it is now.

As for the Red Emperor City, there are more changes to be made, but for now, let him fix the outside of the city first, so that everyone can see what a city surrounded by flowers, green trees and rivers looks like.
