It's another harvest season, Yang Yi's table is full of all kinds of fruits.
All the fruit trees planted in those years have now begun to bear fruit. When the harvest season comes, the orchard is full of various fruits.
In fact, there is no shortage of fruits all year round, but there is no season with more varieties than the harvest season. It is too much to eat, and many of them are made into dried fruits.
"The grapes grow well this year, and the wine produced will definitely taste better than last year."
Yang Yi pinched a grape and put it in his mouth, his eyes narrowed into a line.
Sweet, really sweet!
There was a lot of rain last year, which resulted in insufficient sweetness in the grapes, and the wines produced were not so delicious.
The weather has been very nice this year and the fruit has obviously tasted much better.
"After two days of the picking festival, let's go pick more and come back to make wine. We can make more wine this year. The meteorological department predicts that the weather next year may not be as good as this year."
Weather is one of the important factors affecting agriculture, so the Xinghuo Tribe has specially set up a Meteorological Department composed of people who are talented in the weather.
In addition to daily weather forecasts, future weather forecasts are also made.
Their accuracy is so high that it would be the envy of modern technology on Earth.
"Could it be the rainy season again?" Yang Yi couldn't help frowning. Last year, there was too much rain, which seriously affected the harvest of crops.
If they only depended on the sky for food, last year's harvest would not be able to meet everyone's basic living needs.
"At present, it is impossible to predict it in detail. I have already arranged it to make each city pay attention to water and drought."
"The drainage channels in the city must also be unblocked, so as not to be flooded again."
Yicheng was built in a hurry and without experience, so the facilities were not perfect, and the problems exposed with the increase of population became more and more serious.
For example, the drainage system is relatively weak. There are no underground water channels in a large part of the area, only interlaced ditches.
Usually, it can handle drainage, but last year it rained too much, often torrential rains and for a long time, which put a lot of pressure on the city's drainage system.
At worst, low-lying areas flooded directly to the calf or even the knee.
"During the previous renovation, it could cope with the amount of rainwater last year. To be on the safe side, I have asked the municipal department to conduct a re-examination, and I am going to tear down and rebuild those mud houses."
At present, all the Xinghuo people in Yicheng live in mud and tile houses, but they still retain the original mud thatched houses, mainly for the purpose of housing businessmen from afar.
Not all tribes or caravans are willing to live in comfortable houses. Many tribes and caravans live in their own tents or rent mud thatched houses.
But last year, a heavy rain caused the houses that were not strong enough to begin to collapse, and many houses became unsafe.
"Let's keep the thatched house for reconstruction."
This kind of house sounds miserable, but it is actually pretty good in this world, especially if the new house is well built, it can still shelter from the wind and rain.
Some primitive tribes on the earth still live in such houses, even more rudimentary.
Therefore, many businessmen who come here feel that it is very good to live in such a house.
Many tribes also learned how to make it from them, and the Starfire tribe generously shared it.
Reserving some of these houses is also to meet the needs of different people.
Now there are more and more people and tribes going to and from the Xinghuo Tribe. Yang Yi and Hei Lie also specially built a road from the Black Forest to the Xinghuo Tribe for everyone to enter.
And the main path leading to other places outside the Black Forest has now been trampled out by everyone. It is no longer as barren as before, and there are many fewer wild animals nearby.
This is also due to the Xinghuo tribe. Although they didn't directly build the road, Black Hunter led the hunters all the way to clean it up.
It can not only add food to the tribe, exercise everyone's combat effectiveness, but also ensure the safety of people who come and go.
This also makes more and more people willing to trade here, and it is also convenient for the Starfire Tribe caravan to go out for trade.
Black Hunter nodded: "It's just a re-planning, and the rest remains unchanged."
"Earlier houses also need to be strengthened, including our temple, I'm afraid it needs to be repaired."
Last year's torrential rain exposed many problems. The house that usually looked solid began to crack.
At that time, he was still inexperienced, and Yang Yi didn't have a background in architecture. Everyone was a novice. Although he felt that he handled it well at the time, but now that eight years have passed, many problems have been exposed.
The temple, which used to look magnificent and sturdy, now feels dilapidated in many places, not as dazzling as before.
Especially the establishment of other new cities, the contrast is even more tragic.
The old city of Yicheng has changed from a staggering grandeur to an old city with a backward atmosphere.
In recent years, everyone's level has increased rapidly, and the level of construction has become higher and higher. Not only have the buildings become stronger and stronger, but they are also very stylish and characteristic.
Unlike Yicheng, at that time, there was not much consideration for beauty for the sake of efficiency.
At the beginning, I didn't think that there would be harm if there was a comparison.
The appearance is second to none. Yicheng still has its own beauty, but whether it is strong enough has become a big problem.
Hei Lie looked at the room. Although it was still very beautiful, tidy and full of emotion, he had to admit that it didn't meet their needs now.
"It's time to build a new city."
Yang Yi was surprised: "No way, the construction of the last new city has just started, so the speed is too fast!"
At present, the Xinghuo Tribe owns five cities in the Eastern Continent, Yicheng, Rongcheng, Yangcheng, Liecheng and Gangcheng.
Yi City is equivalent to the capital, and it is the political, cultural and economic center. Schools and the best hospitals are located here. Important tribal meetings are also held here, and it is also the main business district.
At present, including the peak of foreign businessmen, there are about 130,000 to 40,000 people, which is the largest number among all cities.
Because of its geographical location, Rongcheng is more responsible for agricultural production and processing, and it is also a place where new members gather temporarily.
If you pass the assessment, you can officially become a member of the Starfire tribe, and then make distribution arrangements. At present, there are about 80,000 people.
Yangcheng was built on the original workshop, so it mainly focuses on light manufacturing. Almost all large-scale manufacturing has been relocated there. Currently, there are more than 30,000 people.
The location of Hunting City is the most secretive and heavily guarded, making it inaccessible to outsiders.
Because it is an arsenal and produces various metal agricultural tools, etc., it is extremely confidential, and it is also an important training ground.
If you add trained fighters, it can reach up to 40,000 people.
Next came the newly established Harbor City, the closest city to the wasteland waters.
After years of hard work, we have finally built a ship that is strong and can carry a relatively heavy weight, and can sail on waters.
At the beginning of the year before the ice, I used a large ship to start sailing, and found that waters can lead to many places, and it is easier to reach many tribes than land.
Land roads are always bumpy. If there are no horses and other transportation, the goods that can be transported are very limited.
Even if there is a cart, it is difficult to take too many things because the road has not been repaired. And fragile items like porcelain are easily broken.
This is also the reason why the price of porcelain and other items will increase many times after they arrive elsewhere.
No matter how packed and carefully packed, breakage is inevitable.
But if you walk by water, it will be much more stable. Although there are many ferocious fish in the water, as long as the boat is strong enough, most of the fish will not attack actively.
The overall water condition is not bad, small boats are prone to problems, but large boats are much safer.
Not only that, Bing Bing went around and found that he could travel to the Western Continent!
Moreover, this road is closer, and it only takes one month under unobstructed conditions, saving nearly half of the time compared with the land road.
It's just that the bordering area is not the main city of the Western Continent, it is still a wild area, very dangerous, and the location is relatively remote.
Murray, who was looking for a new site to build his own city, started discussing with think tanks such as Lalancao after learning about it, and finally decided to put the new site here.
Murray has now created his own world in the Western Continent. Although he behaves a bit rebellious, he has already been recognized by the royal court.
It's just that his behavior is still a bit special, and he is a rising nobleman, so he will inevitably be excluded.
Now he has the power to obtain more fiefdoms, but this land is not easy to get, if he chooses a good location, he will be coveted by others.
But if he chooses a remote place, he may not be able to guarantee the normal operation of his city.
For this reason, Murray has been very distressed, and he did not expect to hear such good news at this time.
"God has always cared for me so much, and the Starfire Tribe is where I truly belong!" Murray knelt down towards the east at that time.
Although he is still from the Western Continent, his soul belongs to the Xinghuo tribe.
As a result, Murray began to build a city in that water area, and the Starfire Tribe also established a city and port at a place closest to the wasteland water area.
It can be predicted that Hong Kong City will become an important place for business and trade with the Western Continent.
Although it has not been established for a long time, boats have begun to pass through it one after another, and the population there is currently more than 10,000.
Murray's urban construction speed is faster, which is also related to the fact that many people from the Spark Tribe have been sent to help.
If you want to keep Murray's fiefdom, you must ensure that the border defense is strong, otherwise, when other people react, this piece of fat will be easily swallowed.
Both Yang Yi and Black Hunter attach great importance to it, so they don't shy away from investing a lot.
Building two cities at the same time puts a lot of pressure on the Xinghuo Tribe. Now that they have just recovered, and they want to build a city again, it's no wonder Yang Yi is so surprised.
"Yicheng will still be an important business area, and many tribes and caravans will still choose land routes, and the number of people cannot be greatly reduced. At present, it has too many responsibilities, and it is time to start sharing them."
After Yang Yi was surprised, he also calmed down.
"You're right. Yicheng is under too much pressure right now. The city is the oldest, but it has the largest population."
Although there are currently five major cities, in fact, except for Rongcheng, which was built specifically to accommodate more people, the others were built along the trend for better management.
Because of their particularity, it is not easy for cultural and political centers to move there and let them share.
"And Yicheng's geographical location is not suitable at present. If we can get to this place, we will be surrounded by five cities. The distance from each city is about the same, which is more conducive to the control of several cities."
Hei Lie pointed to the center of the sand table in the middle of the study.
Although the establishment of several cities has been planned and established, they are still carried out according to the geographical environment. The overall situation is also under control, but they have not deliberately done it.
Coincidentally, the five cities are currently distributed like a five-pointed star, leaving a space in the middle.
Yang Yi pondered for a moment: "If everyone has no objections, then we are going to build a new temple and a central city."
"The blueprint for the new temple has been drawn, please see if you have any comments to make."
Black Hunter grabbed it in the air like magic, and there was a blueprint in his hand.
"When did you finish drawing?!"
Yang Yi was stunned. Although he didn't take care of the tribe's affairs in every detail as before, as an envoy of God, he would still pay close attention to it.
After all, this is a tribe he built up with his own hands, and he couldn't really be willing to let go of it while still here.
It's just that I will leave time for myself to rest, walk around and look around, the distance is not far away, but it is much better than staying in one place all the time.
"I hope you like it." Black Hunter spread out the drawing.
Yang Yi was stunned when he saw the temple design above: "This is too beautiful!"
The temple is very majestic and majestic, which makes people feel awe when they see it.
However, in just a few years, the aesthetic level of these people has been greatly improved, and they can still express them, which is really amazing.
Yang Yi was amazed again and again, feeling that it was very perfect, and had no objections.
"This is just for other people to see, this is for us."
Hei Lie took the blueprint away and handed Yang Yi another blueprint.
"This is… "
Yang Yi was very surprised when he saw the blueprint, and his eyes turned red.
The painting above is a villa with a garden, and the design of the villa is exactly the same as his home.
"When did you draw it?"
There are no drawings or photos of his villa in Yang Yi's space, but he will mention it to Hei Lie from time to time.
For example, where and what he did in the past are all very trivial information, and occasionally describe the appearance of the house, etc., but they don't say it on purpose.
But he didn't expect Black Hunter to collect all these information and draw them.
Even though I have never seen it before, I can still draw such a similar house.
"Like it?"
"This is the best gift I've ever received!"
Yang Yi hugged Hei Lie fiercely, unable to hide his excitement.
He didn't live with his parents on earth before, and he didn't actually live in that villa for a long time.
But because his parents lived in it, it became the place that impressed Yang Yi the most in his heart.
Even the suite he has been living in can't bring this feeling.
The longer the time here, the better the life, and the deeper the yearning in Yang Yi's heart.
Although I usually don't set aside anything, but occasionally, I will suddenly miss it very much.
But he can't go back now, and Black Hunter can feel his emotions.
"I'm sorry that I can't take you back to your former home for the time being. I can only let you go back to a familiar place first."
Yang Yi laughed: "This is already very good."
Yang Yi is homesick, but he also accepts the current situation. He doesn't feel how painful it is to come here, and how sad it would be not to be able to see his relatives.
Of course, this kind of emotion is inevitable, but more people still accept the fact that they came here.
After all, this is not something he can control, he might as well think about it a little bit more, it doesn't make any sense to have negative energy all the time.
Besides, there are people he loves here, so he can't always remember the past, and he doesn't know how to cherish the present.
But Black Hunter always attaches great importance to it and hopes to bring him the best.
With such a person by his side, how could Yang Yi feel that he was unlucky.
"At that time, we will also grow vegetables and fruit trees, and we will also install a swing in the yard."
"it is good."
"Here is a nest for Xiaohui and Xiaobai, they don't have to squeeze in the room with us, they can usually run around happily."
Yang Yi pointed to an empty tunnel.
When Xiaobai heard this, he fluttered his wings happily, and a gust of wind hit him. If Black Hunter hadn't quickly blocked Yang Yi, he would have overthrown Yang Yi.
"If you don't pay attention to controlling your strength, I'll cut your wings off!" Black Hunter threatened.
Xiaobai cowardly ran away. Although it was a mature goose, it was still the same as when it was a child. Except for showing its stability when protecting Yang Yi, it was always heartless.
Yang Yi shook his head with a smile: "It seems that Xiaobai will never grow up."
"It's because you dote on me too much." Black Hunter disagreed very much.
Xiaobai's IQ is very high, no worse than Goose King.
But the Goose King is very popular now, and it is necessary to have its share in the general meeting.
It is very leadership now, it is very imposing, it is a very proud goose.
Even if there are many geese with higher fighting power than it, it still cannot shake its position.
Xiaobai is still like a child, he doesn't know what stability is, and he will get into trouble from time to time.
Yang Yi was noncommittal, it was hard not to pamper such a beautiful and powerful little animal.
Xiaobai has protected him several times over the years. After all, Black Hunter cannot be by Yang Yi's side all the time, so this heavy responsibility falls on Xiaobai.
Animals are probably naturally more sensitive than humans. Xiaobai has discovered tricks several times when everyone was not alert, and successfully resolved the crisis.
The proposal to establish a new central city was quickly passed, and the Starfire Tribe began to build a new city with the same efficiency as before.
Although Yang Yi has just seen the blueprint, in fact, the relevant personnel have already started designing.
Everyone felt that Yicheng could no longer represent the image of the Xinghuo Tribe, and hoped to build a more complete city and bring temples and envoys there.
It's just that this is a very sacred thing, and it can't be rushed like before, so it took a lot of time to design.
He also has experience in building other cities, and strives to be more reasonable and spectacular.
Yang Yi didn't put too much thought on this, he firmly believed that everyone could do all this well, and he just had to look forward to it this time.
The establishment of the port city brought the Xinghuo Tribe and the Western Continent closer together.
Not only did it attract more and more caravans from the Western Continent, but the Spark Tribe caravans also began to take the initiative to enter the Western Continent for transactions.
This was the first time that a caravan from the Eastern Continent had entered the Western Continent, which caused an uproar in the Western Continent.
"You guys are really amazing. It's only been a while, and you've made it this far." En sighed.
Yang Yi said with a smile: "Thanks to your care, we made it so smooth."
This sentence is not completely polite. The Western Continent welcomes the Eastern Continent caravan for the first time, and the attitude is still unclear.
Everyone didn't know what this meant, but they always felt that it might not be a good omen, so they all remained vigilant and suspicious.
However, there are still some cities that want to make friends with the Spark Tribe, so they all expressed their welcome, which made their caravan much smoother.
"If you really want to thank you, can you give us more mirrors this time." En is very straightforward to fight for his own interests.
At present, the level of glass production has been greatly improved, and transparency can be achieved, but the output is not high.
Now this kind of transparent glass is mostly used to make mirrors, and when it is sold to the outside world, it is very delicate and delicate.
The mirror body made of silver, inlaid with colorful glass, is very expensive, but the supply has always been in short supply.
When Han Bing was exploring the Eastern Continent, he found a silver mine. Currently, the Spark Tribe has a very high silver reserve, which is often used to create luxury goods and circulate as currency.
As soon as the mirror appeared, it was very popular, and there were a lot of orders from the Green Python tribe alone.
The mirror that Yang Yi gave before had already broken, and it would be a huge torture for those who had a mirror to return to the past.
As soon as the Xinghuo Tribe mirror was built, the chief of Jinhuan came over and picked the biggest one.
"We are planning this. Now that we have waterways, it will be much safer than before. You can take away some large mirrors." Yang Yi said with a smile.
En curious: "Big mirror? How big is it?"
The previous mirrors were relatively small, and the largest one was as big as a head.
At this moment, two people brought in a large object, pulled off the covering cloth, and it turned out to be a gorgeous full-length mirror.
"Yes! I want as many as I want!" En exclaimed, only afraid that if he was slow to start, he would be gone.
The cost of the mirror is actually not very high, but the profit it can bring is very large.
The more sophisticated the production, the more popular they are. It seems that they don't need to spend money, and they can grab it for themselves no matter how expensive it is.
In fact, the Starfire Tribe already has the ability to mass-produce small mirrors. Although the output is not very high, it is not as good as it is now that only nobles can enjoy it.
At that time, it was Lancao who wrote a letter stating that they must not sell them in bulk at present, and do not make cheap products.
The class gap in the Western Continent is very large. The nobles always want to be distinguished from the common people. If the mirror becomes a common thing, those nobles will feel unhappy.
Therefore, before it is impossible to make large mirrors, it will be more in line with the consumption concept there to treat mirrors as luxury goods.
When large pieces of mirrors can be produced, they can be separated and then sold in large quantities. It is better to earn a "special fee" in the early stage.
In the past, the Western Continent caravans took goods from the Spark Tribe, and they were also controlled and deliberately raised prices. Even if the goods obtained from the Spark Tribe are very cheap, the price will be raised in the end, and it will not gradually stabilize until more and more caravans obtain them later.
Anyway, it's all about making money, so it's better to let the tribe make the money.
Sure enough, such an expensive mirror is even more respected.
After En got a satisfactory answer and left happily, Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"People in the Western Continent are really rich, and this price is acceptable."
A large mirror is enough for thousands of people to eat and drink for a year. Don't these people know what it means to be distressed
As the exchanges between the two sides deepened, Yang Yi became more and more curious about the magical land of the Western Continent.
Hei Lie looked at him: "Do you want to visit the Western Continent?"
