Western mainland cities did not design special underground passages to deal with excrement and garbage, nor did they have dedicated people to deal with them.
There is only one small ditch in the city for rainwater drainage, and because there are too many excrement and garbage, it is basically blocked.
According to Han Bing, there is simply a pile of feces and urine, and there is no place to stay when walking on the street.
For the Xinghuo people who are used to the clean and tidy environment of the Xinghuo tribe, going there is extremely disgusting and disillusioned.
However, because the Starfire Tribe caravan has not been in the Western Continent for a long time, and the Western Continent is wary of them, the places the caravan can go are limited.
Yang Yi is still holding on to a glimmer of hope. Maybe it's the place where their caravan went, but it's actually not that bad.
The people in the Western Continent caravan are so rich and well-dressed. Obviously, their skills are much higher than those in the Eastern Continent.
Especially those leaders, their clothes are very delicate at first glance, and all kinds of patterns are very complicated.
Their formal attire for the banquet shows their extravagance. It takes a long time and labor to make such clothes.
At present, no one in the Xinghuo Tribe would wear such complicated and luxurious clothes, and Yang Yi didn't want to cultivate this kind of atmosphere.
He set an example by himself, although he was not as simple as ordinary people, everyone would not agree.
But it will definitely not be too extravagant in the usual expenses.
Behind the extravagance is actually the squeeze on the people, and their overall productivity level has not yet reached the point where they can be reckless.
If his daily expenses exceed the current level, it means that the interests of some people have been squeezed to obtain such a special.
Black Hunter just smiled at the time and did not refute: "I hope so."
Yang Yi and Hei Lie first arrived at the city ruled by Murray by boat. This is the city that the waterway from the western continent to the eastern continent must pass through.
At present, the Xinghuo Tribe is the one with the most exchanges between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent, and the total amount of transactions with the Xinghuo Tribe is about the same as the total number of transactions with other tribes in the Eastern Continent.
As a result, the city under Murray's rule has developed rapidly, and the small city that was originally located in a terrible location and could not produce anything suddenly changed from being disgusted by people to a city that is envied.
If it weren't for the city's geographical location, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, many people would have wanted to occupy it.
But Murray is not a vegetarian either. Ever since he took control of the city, he has held on tightly to prevent anyone else from having any chance.
Yang Yi only got a general idea of the city's situation from the letters, and now he can finally see it with his own eyes.
Before the boat docked, many people could be seen from a distance waiting for their arrival.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a familiar shout: "An envoy, an envoy!"
Mao, who had grown into a tall guy, waved his hat and kept shouting.
When the boat stopped, the wooden boards rushed over as soon as they were set up.
"An envoy! I miss you so much!"
Mao's eyes were red, and he wanted to hug Yang Yi like he did when he was a child, but was directly stopped by Hei Lie.
Mao bared his teeth at Hei Lie angrily, and looked at Yang Yi with the same childish and innocent gaze as when he was a child.
You can't see his usual fierce appearance at all, he looks very cute, like a big dog.
Mao is about fifteen or sixteen years old now. He is tall and strong, with firm and sharp eyes. He has completely lost his soft and waxy appearance when he was a child. He is already a man who can support the sky.
Yang Yi patted Mao on the shoulder and sighed, "You look more manly than when I saw you before."
After the two sides passed the boat, Mao also returned to the Xinghuo Tribe, but the number of times was not many, and the time of each stay was not long.
He is now in charge of the defense of this new city and controls the military power, so he cannot leave for too long.
Especially when he left, Lancao would go with him, and Murray lost his right-hand man.
If it weren't for Youmao and Bluegrass these years, Murray would not have been able to control the city so smoothly.
Ever since everyone discovered the value of this city, they have always wanted to join in for some benefits, and even wanted to start a war to snatch it.
Lan Cao also came over at this time, she was much calmer than Mao, and saluted Yang Yi and Hei Lie.
Now Lancao has also grown into a big girl, wearing a long Western Continental style skirt, standing there slim and graceful, looking very ladylike with a girlish childishness.
No one would have guessed that she was the king behind the scenes of this city, and many wise decisions came from her head.
Unlike Mao, Lancao didn't show her abilities and abilities outside, hiding behind like a shadow.
Except for Mao and Murray, no one knew the power of Lancao, they only thought she was Mao's younger sister, just a beautiful girl.
Now almost everyone knows that Murray has contacts with the Starfire Tribe, and the power of the two cannot be easily shaken, even if they know, there is nothing they can do.
He even wants to have such a deep friendship with the Xinghuo tribe in exchange for more benefits.
"Respected envoy, I can finally see you again."
Murray also went to the port in person, looking at Yang Yi very piously.
For him, Yang Yi is a true representative of God, sacred and inviolable.
"I'm also very happy to see you. It seems that you have realized what you wanted all these years."
Murray nodded: "Although it's not enough, at least I did what I wanted to do."
It is very difficult to overthrow the system, at least Murray can't do it, he can only be responsible that the slaves under him will not suffer inhuman treatment like other places.
The biggest difference between this city and other Western Continent cities is that many residents here are former slaves, and now they have broken away from slave status and become ordinary people who do not belong to anyone and have independent identities.
Yang Yi sat in the carriage specially arranged by Murray, and officially entered the city that witnessed its growth in the letter.
"It doesn't feel much different from the city of our Starfire Tribe."
Yang Yi walked around, as if he was still in the Xinghuo tribe.
Everything here is too familiar. The facilities, door decorations, etc. in various places, although they also have the style of the Western Continent, but it is still obvious that they have the style of the Xinghuo Tribe.
The Xinghuo tribal style is more rough and more practical.
The style of the Western Continent is more refined and gorgeous, which is the typical difference between a new city and an old-school city.
But here, I didn't feel the different styles under the completely different culture.
"The urban construction is basically done by bluegrass and people who were sent to our tribe to study, so the overall style is more biased towards our Xinghuo tribe."
Mao also squeezed into the carriage, regardless of how dark Hei Lie's face was at the time.
Yang Yi also wants to be with this little boy who has grown up. His feelings for Mao are very special, just like his own brother.
Looking all the way down, Yang Yi was very pleased.
"It's very good here." Yang Yi sincerely appreciated it.
Murray's ears turned red with excitement. He has now turned into a bearded man from a young boy, but he is still shy in front of Yang Yi.
"That's the best compliment I've ever heard!"
Yang Yi was also very happy, who would have thought that a slave who was allowed to be beaten and scolded before could do this.
"I hope you will always remember that sentence—don't forget your original intention."
Murray became serious at this time, earnestly promised: "God's envoy, I will never forget it!"
Yang Yi and Hei Lie didn't stay in this city for too long, they only stayed for one night before leaving.
Now Yang Yi hopes to see some new things, this city can wait until he comes back, and then savor it carefully.
"It's great, I saw that those slaves were obviously angry." Yang Yi sighed.
In fact, seeking a living in this city is also very difficult. It takes constant work to get a salary that can support yourself and your family. This is the unavoidable result of low productivity.
Even if it has become a famous port and brought great economic benefits, it still takes hard work to get everything.
But those people are obviously different from before, as if they have been reborn and really started to live.
Instead of numb work, start looking forward to the future.
The Starfire Tribe and Murray have an agreement, and each year there is a quota to send the smart and studious children here to the Starfire Tribe to study, and the board and lodging are free.
The reason for being so kind is also political.
The new generation also agrees with the Xinghuo tribe, so the relationship between them will be closer.
No matter how powerful the Xinghuo tribe is, they all hope to live in harmony with other tribes or cities for mutual benefit, rather than relying on aggression to gain benefits, which is a typical Chinese philosophy.
Starting from Murray's city, it is necessary to change from water to land.
They came out this time and brought a lot of ostriches and horses, just to facilitate land transportation.
Yang Yi rode Xiao Hui, strolling very leisurely on the road stepped out by people.
"This place is obviously different from the Starfire Tribe, and the plants are obviously different."
"There are also a lot fewer dangerous large beasts."
Black Hunter has been vigilant around and will not take it lightly.
"At this point, the Western Continent is indeed safer and more convenient for people from different places to come and go."
Black Hunter narrowed his eyes slightly: "So there will be more robbers."
Yang Yi's heart trembled: "Is there a robber nearby?"
"Well, there are still a lot of people, and they have been with us for a while."
Hei Lie's expression couldn't tell anything unusual.
Yang Yi didn't worry too much, and believed that Black Hunter could handle it.
He also went hunting with Black Hunter before. Although the scene was cruel and not fun, it was hard and tiring, but Yang Yi still thought it was a very good experience.
Although he didn't do much, he also practiced courage in training again and again, and he can stabilize his mentality in this situation.
Walking to an open area, Hei Lie ordered the whole team to stop and prepare today's lunch.
Yang Yi is a person who will not treat him badly if he has the conditions, and Hei Lie doesn't want to see him live too hard on the road.
Therefore, a lot of food that is convenient to carry and has a long shelf life has been prepared.
Among them, there is no shortage of artifacts such as hot pot bottom ingredients. You only need to put a little water to boil, then add meat and vegetables to blanch, and you can eat excellent food without much cooking.
As soon as the hot pot base is cooked, a spicy aroma fills the air.
Being able to eat spicy food is one of the characteristics of the Xinghuo tribe. These peppers not only satisfy the taste, but are also good for the body.
No matter how much you eat, it will not be unfriendly to chrysanthemums like on earth, and the side effects are less than on earth.
Yang Yi didn't like to eat such heavy food on the go, but he was still attracted by the aroma and gave up his light plan.
The chefs of the Starfire Tribe are very good, and now their cooking skills can be said to be proficient, and they are definitely not inferior to the chefs on Earth.
In particular, the ingredients here are very fresh and good, and the quality is much better than the meat and vegetables ripened by the earth's feed and chemical fertilizers. They are all grown organically.
So the food made is more delicious.
"You are deliberately greedy to death." Yang Yi laughed.
When they are in the middle of the day, they rarely spend such time eating a big meal in the wild, and they basically eat dry food.
When you find a suitable place to set up camp at night, you will be able to cook more abundantly, and you will be able to rest better if you eat well.
Hei Lie glanced at the weeds and forests that were visibly more active than before, and smiled viciously.
The people in the secret were very calm, and no one showed their faces until everyone finished eating and started packing up.
"These bandits are too patient, don't you want to rob them? Do you have a letter?" Yang Yi muttered.
Hei Lie didn't want to be followed by a group of unknown people all the time, so he gave the adjutant beside him a wink, stood on a small slope, and shouted into the woods:
"Hiding in the dark for so long, don't you plan to come out to meet the sunshine? Or... let the iron knife in our hand say hello to you first."
