A large freight magic locomotive drove quickly on the largest official road in the southern province of the Kandra Empire.
"boom-"
The tire rolled over a pothole in the road, immediately shaking the entire car body.
Nasus, who was driving the magic motorcycle, bumped his butt from the seat, and then fell down hard. He suddenly felt a pain coming from his butt. He couldn't help complaining: "What kind of broken roads are there in this Candela Empire?" It’s not smooth. My butt was almost broken in half during this run.”
Khafre, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked like he had been used to it for a long time. He laughed when he heard this and said: "Isn't your kid's butt in two halves or in three halves? Okay, stop complaining, you can come here from now on." There are still many times, so get used to it as soon as possible. "
"Have you been running on such a bad road?" Nasus frowned and shook his head. "I said uncle, you said that the Kandra Empire is much richer than our Lampali Kingdom, right? Why are they not willing to build more roads? This way we will not only be much more comfortable, but also much faster. "
"Do you think this is something you can do if you have money?" Khafre rolled his eyes at his nephew, looked at the bumpy road ahead, and sighed helplessly: "Although the Kandela Empire is rich, they are If we don’t want to build roads, what can we do?”
"Isn't that right? There are roads everywhere in a small country like our Lampali Kingdom. How can an empire as big as the Candela Empire not know the benefits of roads? Why doesn't it want to build them?" Nasus was still puzzled.
"Then how do I know?" Khafre snorted from his nostrils. "Perhaps these noble men of the Candela Empire like the feeling of riding their carriages on such country roads."
Nasus muttered something and continued to drive forward on the large freight magic locomotive.
Seeing that he no longer complained, Nasus also fell silent. Start planning your next trip.
Since the Candela Empire and the Lampali Kingdom officially signed an agreement. Since the full opening of the domestic market to the Lampali Kingdom. This is the fourth time he has come to this huge empire in the past month and a half.
Although every trip was very hard, he had made a lot of money in the past month and a half through this simple trade model of transporting goods from the Lampali Kingdom to the Candela Empire and selling them.
This time he brought his nephew Nasus here, not only because his nephew got a driver's license under the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce last year and was qualified to ride a large freight magic motorcycle, but also because he wanted to bring him to see the world and get familiar with it. How do you do business here? So as to prepare for training him to be a capable assistant in the future.
Of course he, an ordinary small businessman, didn't understand the affairs between the two countries, the Candela Empire and the Lampali Kingdom. He only knew that after the Candela Empire opened its domestic market to the Lampali Kingdom, they could ship a lot of goods. If you come to the Candela Empire to sell it, the tariffs charged are much lower than before, so it is a very good business opportunity.
If there would be no changes to the agreement between the Candela Empire and the Lampali Kingdom, he would be confident that he would make this trade bigger and stronger than just being an ordinary small businessman in the Lampali Kingdom. .
The only obstacle is probably when something might happen to the Candela Empire.
If something goes wrong in such a huge empire, it will happen. It was enough to crush him, a small businessman, to pieces, leaving him helpless.
"I hope Her Majesty the Queen can always maintain a good relationship with the Candela Empire..." I thought of this. Khafre prayed sincerely in his heart.
"Hey, uncle..." At this moment, Nasus, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke again.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"I have never been to the Candela Empire before, and I always felt that such a large empire would be much better than a small country like our Lampali Kingdom in many aspects. But after coming here this time and seeing it with my own eyes, I always felt... Why do you always feel that the Kandra Empire is so much worse than our Lampali Kingdom?"
Seeing the confusion on Nasus's face, Khafre couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this boy really had the same feeling as he had when he came to the Candela Empire these past few times.
"Tell me, why do you think the Kandra Empire is inferior to our Lampali Kingdom?" Khafre deliberately asked.
"If nothing else, let's just talk about the road in front of us." Nasus pointed to the road ahead and said unceremoniously: "Supposedly, this road leads to Lalu City, the third largest city in the central province of the Candela Empire. Yes, if it were placed in our Lampali Kingdom, there would definitely be a very wide road. But looking at the current road, it is not only dilapidated, but also ridiculously narrow. It can allow two large freight magic locomotives to run side by side, and one more one will be unable to pass."
"Well, road breaking is indeed the biggest problem, but what next? Is there anything else?" Khafre asked again.
"Others? Have you forgotten the time we rested in Ever City before? Although it is a small town, there is only one restaurant in the whole city. This is too exaggerated! And what the hell are they selling in it? There’s not even fresh meat, it’s so shabby. If it were our Lampali Kingdom, not to mention our Kalma City, even if it were a small city, we would at least be able to eat meat freely.”
"What? You're not satisfied without eating meat? You're a kid who loves meat, aren't you afraid that your family will be impoverished sooner or later?" Khafre said with a smile.
"Tch, can you still live in poverty by eating meat? Pork in Kalma City now only sells for two silver coins per kilogram. Even if I eat a kilogram a day, I can't possibly make my family poor."
"Have you forgotten how you were hungry as a child?" Khafre rolled her eyes at him. "Don't forget, the reason why you have been so happy eating meat in the past two years is because our Lampali Kingdom has a lot of food, so we can produce enough feed to raise pigs. The people in the Kandela Empire can have enough It’s good to feed yourself with enough food. How can you have so much time to raise pigs?”
"Really?" Nasus scratched his head. "Anyway, it's far worse than our Lampali Kingdom. And after we finished our meal, we went to find a faucet to wash our hands and fill the car with some water. As a result, there was no running water in the entire Aifu City, so I had to run there by myself. Drawing water from such an old well is really..."
"What's wrong with letting you exercise more?" Khafre smiled and shook his head. "You are completely used to the comfortable life in our Lampali Kingdom, and are not used to the backwardness of the Kandela Empire..."
Khafre was suddenly stunned for a moment.
What did he just say
behind
He actually applied the adjective "backward" to the Candela Empire so naturally
This is one of the two major empires in mainland China!
This is the Candela Empire that people in other small countries on the mainland, except for the Malo Empire, can only look up to and envy from the bottom of their hearts!
But after thinking about it, Khafre felt that there was nothing wrong.
Compared to the Lampali Kingdom, he did feel various inconveniences after entering the Candela Empire.
For example, what Nasus just mentioned was the dilapidated roads, scarce food, water supply facilities that still rely on manpower, and the magic phone he is carrying in his arms now, but it is of no use at all. Everything is revealed. It is a kind of backwardness.
That's right, it's backward.
Compared to the Lampali Kingdom, the Candela Empire was backward in many aspects.
This was not a temporary delusion on his part, but a solid fact.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a daze?" Hearing Khafre's sudden silence, Nasus turned his head and glanced at him. He found that his uncle's mouth was half open and his face was dull. He couldn't help but wonder. .
"Ah... ah, it's okay, nothing..."
Khafre waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
However, when he regained his composure, a ridiculous feeling emerged in his mind.
Is the Kandra Empire lagging behind the Lampali Kingdom
This idea would only make people laugh if it were placed in other countries on the continent, or even just in the Lampali Kingdom a few years ago.
Because this is simply a big joke.
As one of the two major empires on the mainland, the Candela Empire would of course be far stronger in all aspects than the Lampali Kingdom, a small country located in the southwest of the mainland.
How could the word "backward" be used to describe the Candela Empire
But judging from Khafre's own recent experience of traveling between the Lampali Kingdom and the Kandra Empire, this is an indisputable fact.
The Candela Empire was just behind the Lampali Kingdom.
Khafre twitched the corners of his mouth with a strange expression, but a trace of joy and pride flashed through his heart.
Did it turn out that the Lampali Kingdom had become so powerful without even realizing it
In the past, when he faced the merchants of the Candela Empire, he always felt a sense of inferiority from the bottom of his heart.
But now that he had figured this out, he suddenly found that he suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart.
What qualifications do these merchants of the Candela Empire have to show off in front of themselves? They are just a bunch of bumpkins who have never seen the world!
This thought made Khafre feel happy instantly and couldn't help laughing.
Hearing Khafre's sudden laughter, Nasus turned his head and glanced at him inexplicably, and found that the smile on his face looked extremely happy, and his laughter was also refreshing and refreshing, which showed that he was indeed in a very happy mood.
Nasus couldn't help but wonder.
What happened to uncle? We were obviously just discussing what was inconvenient about the Candela Empire, so why did my uncle suddenly burst into such weird laughter just thinking about it
Could it be that this topic made my uncle think of something strange
But no matter how hard Nasus tried, he couldn't understand this.
So he could only shake his head, look straight ahead, and focus on continuing to drive the large freight magic locomotive, driving quickly towards the outline of the city that appeared on the far side of the horizon. (To be continued...)
