Yang Yi and Hei Lie, as the representatives of the Xinghuo tribe, and the current top leaders of the Xinghuo tribe, received the highest standard of reception in the royal city.
After the two met the new king, they were taken by the attendants to the most luxurious guest room in this magnificent palace.
This palace is very huge, and it takes a long time to walk from the hall to their guest rooms, and they also learn more about this palace from the attendants.
The royal palace includes attendants and guards. There are three or four thousand people living here, which can accommodate a lot of people.
Every place shows the luxury of the royal family, and a lot of effort and painstaking effort was put into its construction.
Only the laborers who died for the construction of this palace had hundreds or even more people to create such a beautiful, luxurious and huge palace in a very short period of time.
When saying these things, the attendants didn't think there was anything wrong, and they were even flaunted as a point to be proud of.
I want Yang Yi and Hei Lie, the two richest and most powerful tribesmen from the Eastern Continent, to see that their palace is unusual.
While Yang Yi sighed, looking at the livestock walking in the corridor, he felt very complicated in his heart.
Can't it be maintained after such a hard work to build a palace
I also learned from the attendants that this palace is not a place where the king and queen will stay all the time. When the palace is too dirty and smelly, they will move to another palace.
We will not move back until the place is cleaned up.
"These people are not too troublesome, why can't they make a good toilet?"
When Yang Yi heard this, he simply sighed.
But when he walked into his own room and admired its luxurious and beautiful decoration, he realized a very important thing.
"There is no toilet here, what can we do these days!"
Hei Lie laughed, very calmly: "Do as the Romans do."
"..."
Yang Yi frowned: "This joke is not funny."
It's better to be in the wild. You can't do such a thing in the house even if you kill him!
The young ones can accept it a little bit by finding a corner, and I did this kind of thing when I was naughty when I was a child.
But the big one would really go crazy, he is such a big man, even if he wouldn't be cursed by others, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing!
Especially for such a beautiful palace, if you want to come in and visit it on earth, you don’t know how much it will cost, let alone live here.
Doing such a thing in such a place is too reckless!
Hei Lie didn't continue to tease him: "Find something to make a urinal, and the big one will run out and use it as green manure for plants."
At present, this is the only way to do it. Yang Yi feels very depressed, and the freshness of this place has been washed away a lot.
"It seems that the incense we studied before has no market at all."
The Starfire Tribe currently has more and more products, and many projects are not the same as before. They are basically led by Yang Yi, but they study and research spontaneously.
Over the years, the Starfire Tribe has cultivated more and more talents.
After they have completed the basic education, they can go to the library to read freely, and then further self-study according to their own hobbies.
Yang Yi bought a lot of professional books in the mall. Although it would be difficult to learn without the guidance of a teacher, as long as he is willing to work hard and ponder, he can still learn.
As the tribe develops better and better, the tribe has more and more room for personal development.
Unlike before, everyone had to do what they had to do, and assigned tasks based on the overall situation to maintain the normal operation of the tribe.
The study of incense was the spontaneous behavior of some people in the tribe, which was mainly responsible for an orc with a talent for dogs.
Appropriate fragrance will bring people a pleasant mood. This person is very sensitive to fragrance and likes all kinds of floral fragrances. He also knows the best fragrance in the Western Continent, so he applied to start research.
Now several kinds of incense with stable fragrance have been developed, ranging from fresh to strong, which meet the different needs of different people.
West Continent has always been very fond of essential oils, largely because of its aroma.
Yang Yi had also heard about it before, and it was because they were trying to cover up the peculiar smell on their bodies. Now that he saw it on the spot, it was indeed the case.
Although the people here are not like in the middle ages, because of religious reasons, they can't take a bath a few times in their lives, but they don't wash as often as the Xinghuo tribe.
Like other tribesmen in the Eastern Continent, they don't think it is necessary to wash their bodies frequently.
It's just that many people in the Eastern Continent don't care about these things, they are still in the state of 'savages', and now many tribes are also affected by the Xinghuo tribe, and they are more hygienic than before.
People from the Western Continent obviously have a class distinction, and the nobles want to distinguish themselves from ordinary people, and they are more particular, and cannot bear the unpleasant smell on their bodies.
But their living habits prevent them from washing their bodies frequently, so they like to use 'external force'.
"Incense is really needed here." Black Hunter also agreed, often running around in the wild, in fact, these are all tolerable.
But it doesn't mean that there is no pursuit. When I came to the Western Continent, I felt that my tribe was even cuter.
This time I came to participate in the enthronement ceremony, in addition to looking around, it was also to promote the products of the Xinghuo tribe.
At present, the Xinghuo Tribe has a very large population. Farming alone cannot meet everyone's basic living needs. Processing and commercial activities are also required to help the entire tribe get rid of poverty.
"It would be great if we could set up shop in this city."
Yang Yi traveled through Wangcheng today, and found that the business here is very active. There are many shops in the commercial street, and there are still many varieties.
With a shop, there will be a fixed sales place, directly facing consumers instead of second-hand traffickers, and earning more and more stable than caravan bringing goods.
"They will agree." Black Hunter said firmly.
Yang Yi raised his eyebrows: "What are your plans?"
The port city of the Xinghuo Tribe has opened shops specially leased to outsiders, but no one from the Eastern Continent has ever opened a shop there in the Western Continent.
The caravans of the Xinghuo tribe began to go deep into the hinterland in the past two years, and they could only do business in the fringe areas of the western continent before.
"Our products are our best bargaining chips. The reason behind the Westlanders' eyeing on Murray's city is our confidence."
Although Yang Yi kept complaining that the place was too dirty and didn't even have a toilet, he also admired how well it was built.
Their beds are very soft, with a fragrance, very comfortable to sleep on.
It was indeed a pleasure to see the beautiful decoration in the house early the next morning.
This is incomparable to the more practical Xinghuo tribe buildings, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses.
"You still let our chef cook? Don't bother, just do as the Romans do, and the food here is not bad."
Yang Yi could tell at a glance that the food brought in was from their Xinghuo tribe.
The food here is not as rich as the Starfire tribe, such as bread and steak or roast lamb.
The current method is influenced by the Xinghuo tribe's seasoning, which has become a lot richer, and the taste is not bad.
For Yang Yi, it was also a novelty.
"I really didn't arrange it on purpose. The owner of this castle also wanted to taste the food of the Starfire Tribe, so I arranged for the chef we brought to cook a few dishes."
Now that their own chefs have already started cooking, they simply eat the familiar flavors.
I have been traveling all the way, but I have not been able to settle down and have a good meal.
The cuisine of the Starfire Tribe has also been mentioned in the Western Continent, especially the caravan brought a lot of seasonings that can make the food more delicious, and some people will remember some of them.
But after all, the two places are far away, and it has not affected the diet of the Western Continent, and even many people don't know or don't believe what everyone said.
After all, many people still stubbornly keep their impression of the Eastern Continent at the stage where they are still drinking blood. Even if they use various items brought back from the Xinghuo tribe every day, they still stubbornly believe in what they think.
Yang Yi smiled: "They won't be reluctant to let our chef go because of this?"
Yang Yi really guessed right. The new king and queen of the Western Continent were astonished when they ate the food cooked by Chef Xinghuo, even if they had heard about it before, they were still shocked.
It turns out that there are such delicious foods in this world!
The Xinghuo tribe often travels with the Western Continent, so they know their tastes very well.
So these chefs cook all the popular dishes that people in the western continent like, so there is no difference in taste, so these people quickly accept and surrender to them.
"Envoy of God, I hope to get help from your chef for this registration banquet!" The new king made this decision very decisively.
Yang Yi naturally had nothing to do: "Okay."
The new king didn't expect that Yang Yi didn't follow his words like the people he usually contacted, and gave him the chef directly, which was a straight-forward request.
"I like the delicacies made by your chefs so much. I don't know how long I haven't eaten so happily. I don't know if I can keep them. I am willing to exchange anything with you."
Yang Yi was noncommittal, just said: "We have to ask the chefs for their opinions, they are free."
The new king and the future were very surprised, but thinking of the rules of the Xinghuo tribe, they quickly reacted.
"If the chef wants to?"
"Yes, but even if he stays, he is still a member of our Starfire. We must treat him well, otherwise we will still take him away."
When the chef was called up, he refused without thinking about hearing such a question.
"We promise to give you better treatment, you can have slaves and more money." The new king of the Western Continent tempted.
The chef is still steadfast, neither humble nor overbearing, and does not feel that he is afraid of facing the king of the Western Continent.
"Sorry Your Majesty, I prefer the Starfire Tribe, that's my home."
The new king was very sorry, but also confirmed the rumors about the Xinghuo tribe from another aspect.
This is a magical tribe, there are no slaves regardless of high or low, only different responsibilities.
Although many tribes in the Eastern Continent are like this, they don't take it too seriously, and naturally they don't want to understand it when they look down.
The Xinghuo tribe is different, having the same powerful strength, so they look at it with the same eyes.
"Although our chefs can't stay, we can keep their cooking skills." Black Hunter spoke at the right time.
The new king was very happy: "I knew that the Xinghuo tribe is very generous!"
At this time, Black Hunter showed a faint smile, no matter how you look at it, it was treacherous: "As long as you agree to one of our requests."
The new king immediately tensed up his body, but his face remained unchanged, and his words were a lot more vigilant.
"what?"
Black Hunter is about to open a store in Wangcheng that specializes in selling products from the Spark Tribe.
"Our store will abide by the rules of Wangcheng and pay the due taxes."
The new king breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that, he had originally planned this.
Although he is a king, in fact, each city owner exists independently and is not subject to the dispatch and control of the king city.
It is only because Wangcheng is strong, so it is subject to them.
Over the years, because of the old king's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed, he didn't pay much attention to the Eastern Continent, especially his contacts with the Xinghuo tribe, which weakened the originally powerful Wangcheng a lot.
The new king knows this very well, but it is a pity that his father is too old to listen to persuasion, so he can only watch other cities make a lot of money.
If they want to obtain the products of the Xinghuo Tribe, they have to pay a very high price, and sometimes they can't get the products.
This is a great insult to the people of Wangcheng who have always possessed wealth unmatched by other cities.
As soon as the new king took office, he wanted to break this deadlock, so he actively invited the envoys and chiefs of the Xinghuo tribe to participate in his enthronement ceremony.
I thought they would only send a few high-ranking representatives, but I didn't expect the envoy and the chief to really come!
Now that Black Hunter has taken the initiative to open a shop here and bring all the things produced by the Spark Tribe here for sale, the new king naturally welcomes them with both hands and feet.
The new king remained calm: "I can promise you, as long as you are willing to agree to our conditions."
The two sides bargained over the conditions on the spot, and finally decided that the Spark Tribe could open a shop in the royal city. The shop was provided by the royal family, and it was guaranteed that it would not be taken back and that it would be safe in the royal city.
Taxes are the same standard as ordinary Wangcheng shops, which can be described as very preferential treatment.
There is also a condition, that is, no matter what new product comes out, Wangcheng must be the first to own it, and only after a month can it start selling to people in the Western Continent outside of Wangcheng.
Not only that, but also to ensure the quantity on the Wangcheng side.
"The new king wants to become the trading center of the Western Continent again." Yang Yi looked at the agreement signed today.
The geographical conditions of Wangcheng are very good, which is also an important factor for becoming a Wangcheng.
It is located in the center of various city-states in the Western Continent, rich in resources, and protected by mountains, it is not easy to be violated.
It used to be the political, cultural and economic center of the Western Continent. Later, because of Lao Wang’s protection of him, coupled with the huge profits brought by the business of the Eastern Continent, he also acquired many strong slaves from the Eastern Continent, making other city-states more and more rich and powerful. relatively weakened position.
Especially after the appearance of the Xinghuo Tribe, Wangcheng, which had no relationship with the Xinghuo Tribe, was also weakened as an economic center, completely losing its previous advantages.
"If it can't be taken back, the huge population pressure in the royal city will soon collapse the city."
The royal city was built very beautifully, but the people's life was also very miserable.
They also passed through some villages when they came to Wangcheng. The common people here were treated similarly to those slaves, except that their bodies were free.
It is even worse than some slaves. The slaves still have food to eat, but it is difficult for the poor in the city to find a job that can support themselves.
The city's population is overburdened, and there is not enough industry to support it. People keep pouring in every day, making life very difficult.
If it weren't for the foundation of Wangcheng, the order would have collapsed long ago.
Yang Yi pondered for a long time before speaking:
"Actually, we don't need to transport some products all the way from Xinghuo to sell. We can directly set up a factory here and hire people here. As long as we master the core technology, the cost will be reduced a lot."
"Well, I think so too. You can also farm here, lease the land, and hire local people, which is easier to accept."
The huge population base of Wangcheng puts them under too much pressure, which leads to various social problems.
The crime rate is increasing year by year, largely because they cannot find a job to support themselves, and have to do illegal things or become slaves in order to survive.
Therefore, no matter how harsh the law is, it cannot prevent such incidents from happening frequently.
"However, we still don't know what the new king will look like. We can't rush it now. Let's open a shop to see what he will do before we make other plans." Black Hunter said again.
Yang Yi also felt that this matter should be cautious, after all, they were standing in other people's territory.
I haven't interacted with Wang Cheng before, and I don't know their style of work.
In the current situation, instead of cooperating with Wangcheng, it is better to cooperate with other big cities that we often communicate with.
Although they intended to do so, Yang Yi and Hei Lie did not deliberately conceal this topic, and even deliberately let people spread it around.
It's just that I want to find a suitable place in the Western Continent, and I haven't booked a place yet.
At the enthronement banquet, representatives of many cities knew about Yang Yi and Hei Lie, and threw olive branches to them.
Murray's city has developed so fast, largely because they are the distribution center for the products of the Spark Tribe, and they control the supply of goods by taking advantage of the port.
If the Spark Tribe builds a workshop in a certain city, it will be the best opportunity for the development of that city.
A shrewd person immediately smells the benefits in it, and is very positive.
Seeing this, other cities also followed suit and hoped that the Xinghuo tribe's factories could be built in their own cities. Instead of worrying about the erosion of the Xinghuo tribe that they were most worried about before, they paid more attention to immediate interests.
The new king also got the news very quickly, quickly contacted Yang Yi and Hei Lie, and offered them very favorable conditions to attract them.
"I promise with my soul and the crown on my head that we sincerely want to cooperate with you, and the gods can be our witnesses."
The new king was sincere and eager, for fear that Yang Yi and Hei Lie would not agree. After all, the communication between them was not as much as that of other city-states.
Yang Yi and Hei Lie still didn't give a direct answer, and still wanted to follow the previous plan and observe first before making a decision.
After all, once the decision is made, a lot of money and energy will be consumed in the preliminary work. If there is any mistake, it will be very troublesome.
"This is a coal mining area. The coal produced is very good. If you agree, I can promise you that you will have five years of mining rights."
The new king throws a very big bait.
Yang Yi and Hei Lie looked at each other. Their coal has been used up very quickly these years. Although there are still many mining areas, they can dig for at least another 20 years.
But there is only one coal vein, which is still too little. With the development, their demand will increase, and they need more resources.
This time, Yang Yi and Hei Lie didn't refuse any more, and Yang Yi directly made a decision: "Okay, deal!"
