The sky is already bright, but the sun has not fully risen, today's cold wind is a bit strong, and the sea at this time is magnificent, and the surging waves seem to be thousands of horses.

But that didn't stop the two of them from moving forward.

Before they knew it, a new island appeared in front of the two of them, which was bigger than the other islands, and even bigger than Wulong Island.

There are human buildings on it, but they don't want to be as prosperous as the northern cities.

Liu Chengfeng and Huangyi didn't think about it, they landed directly, and after landing on the island, Liu Chengfeng was shocked: "How can there be a city here?

"The surface area of the earth is 510 million square kilometers, and the twelve cities only occupy the tip of the iceberg of the earth, not necessarily the Human Comprehensive Bureau does not know, but I don't want to care, after all, it is too far away, there is no way to manage it in a unified way, since ancient times, there are many countries, and no country has its own management model and beliefs, and it is a rare thing to assimilate ideas, it is better to let them be self-sufficient and live the life they want. ”

Liu Chengfeng thought about it, this truth is also right, after all, the distance is too far, and the largest land at present is the twelve cities, and the distance is close, which is convenient for unified management.

A place like this where the Emperor is far away will definitely not obey the Human Comprehensive Bureau, as long as he does not start a war, he can let them live the life they want, and he will definitely not invade it.

After entering the city, I saw that the human beings were wearing similar clothes to themselves, and the dress was basically the same, even the street stalls, vendors, taverns, etc. were exactly the same.

This made Liu Chengfeng very curious, whether this would be a copy of the Twelve Cities.

Huang Yi said: "The land we live in continues the culture of a hundred years ago, and this is the same, I think this is also a city that was divided from the land at that time. ”

After a morning of flying, Liu Chengfeng and Huangyi were a little hungry, Huangyi wanted to hide his dragon horns, but saw that this was also a place where humans and orcs lived together, so he gave up this idea.

When the two of them came to a tavern, the waiter in the store hurriedly ran forward and looked the two of them up and down.

"Yo, two VIPs, please. ”

Liu Chengfeng looked at his equipment and asked, "Why do you say that we are VIPs?"

"We are economism here, the rich are all masters, although humans and orcs are fighting openly and secretly, but they are all poor, once orcs and humans come together, they are all big people, rich people. ”

Liu Chengfeng obviously can't accept the setting here, or rather, he doesn't understand it at all.

The waiter said with some suspicion and asked, "Aren't you from here?"

Liu Chengfeng replied directly: "No." ”

Hearing Liu Chengfeng say no, the waiter asked with a bad attitude: "If you want to eat, you need money, do you have money?"

"I just don't look down on a snobbish person like you, who do I look down on! Although I am not a rich party in our country, I am definitely a small landlord!"

Liu Chengfeng said, took out a stack of peace coins, threw them on the table and continued: "See! This money is enough to buy this tavern, and bring me everything that feels delicious and delicious!"

At this time, the waiter laughed, picked up the peace coin and looked at it, then threw it on the ground, and mocked: "Just these few pieces of broken paper still want to cheat and cheat, I see that you are really impatient, there is no money here, there is no right, hurry up and get out of me, go to the street to ask for food!"

Liu Chengfeng was about to pull out the three-foot sword in his hand, but Huangyi hurriedly stopped it and asked politely, "Then what kind of money do we have here?"

"I haven't even seen the money, and I'm embarrassed to come to dinner, let me tell you, our money here is coral, growing in the sea, the better the quality, the higher the value, especially the deep-sea coral, I don't think you have that ability, go to the deep sea to get coral, I advise you to go and ask for food, maybe there are kind-hearted people to reward you with a few steamed buns to eat." ”

Liu Chengfeng stood up, pushed the waiter away, and said, "Wait!

After that, Liu Chengfeng left Huangyi alone and left.

looked at the waiter who was leaving Liu Chengfeng, and said disdainfully: "Count your acquaintance, let me see you again, see if I don't kill you, and let me trim your toenails!"

Huang Yi smiled and said: "Don't be too arrogant, be careful and walk around without eating for a while, my younger brother is not very good-tempered, if you offend him, you will feel good." ”

"You stinky begging for food, you look beautiful, why are you so ignorant of how to speak, are you looking for a fight?"

After that, Huangyi didn't speak, just sat on the side, quietly waiting for Liu Chengfeng to come back.

During this period, Huang Yi was often sneered at by the waiter, but Huang Yi did not refute anything.

Because Huangyi believes that when Liu Chengfeng comes back, he will become a complete family fortune, and at that time, the waiter's attitude will turn 180 degrees.

Sure enough, after Liu Chengfeng came back, he was holding all kinds of corals in his hands, colorful and shiny.

If you let Liu Chengfeng change money, it is impossible, if you ask for something, Liu Chengfeng will find a way to find it even if it is heaven and earth.

It's just that it's inconvenient to hold so many cumbersome things everywhere.

When the guests in the tavern saw the coral in Liu Chengfeng's hand, they stepped forward one after another and exclaimed, "It's really rare, so many high-quality corals can buy half of the city." ”

At this time, the waiter was dumbfounded, and his mouth grew up and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Huang Yi said to the waiter, "You still haven't served the food yet?"

"Yes, wait a minute, I will immediately instruct the back kitchen to prepare the best signature dishes of the restaurant for the two masters. ”

looked at the waiter who answered with a waist, and immediately put on a posture of an uncle.

"Oh, didn't you just ask me to ask for food? Please bring over the pedicure tools, grandpa, I want to do a pedicure while eating!"

In this small city, if you have money, you are the uncle, and if you don't have money, you can't raise your head, and the waiter is no exception.

In the process of waiting for the food to be served, I saw that the customers at other tables were paying with banknotes similar to peace coins, rather than using coral as the waiter said.

Huangyi saw Liu Chengfeng's doubts, and took the initiative to say: "Maybe corals are quite expensive with gold and diamonds before, I think it's very inconvenient to bring so many corals, it's better to ask the waiter, where can you exchange corals for banknotes." ”

After a while, the table was full of wine and meat, and the strange thing was that since there was animal meat here, and the waiter really brought pedicure tools and started a pedicure for Liu Chengfeng.

"Oh, you can do anything. ”

Liu Chengfeng said to the waiter with a mocking voice.

The waiter not only didn't get angry, but also explained: "The two masters don't know, in our place, as long as you have money, even if you let the little one die, the little one will not be ambiguous." ”

Huang Yi said while eating: "It seems that the ruler here is money, not a human or an orc, no wonder there is animal meat on the table, it seems that it is all the power of money, let me ask you, where can I exchange your paper money here?"

"The money bank can be exchanged, your coral will definitely make you rich, it is estimated that a money bank does not have so much money, you have to run a few more. ”

Liu Chengfeng asked, "Why do you treat coral as money?"

"I don't know, the paper money was invented by a person named Ma Yong, this Ma Yong monopolized all the real estate business here, is the largest capitalist here, it was he who formulated coral as currency, people and orcs for a bite to eat, do not hesitate to go to the sea to pick coral, with more and more coral, it is inconvenient to carry, so there is an equivalent banknote. ”

The waiter explained while pinching Liu Chengfeng's feet.

Huang Yi asked again, "Can you tell us about the situation here?" ”

Later I learned.

It is said that it was an island city a hundred years ago, very close to the land, with an area of 30,006 square kilometers.

There are cities, counties, and towns, and they are managed layer by layer.

After the evolution of the orcs, Taicheng fell into chaos, and the rulers of the time were eaten by the orcs.

In order to prevent the extinction of mankind, the biggest entrepreneur at that time, and now Ma Yong, led the humans to resist hard, because the animals on this island are proportional to humans, so they are evenly matched.

After a long battle, there was no winner or loser, and later Ma Yong thought of a way, that is, the human beings put up the food and distributed it regularly, so that the orcs had no food to grab, and could only eat their own people, resulting in a great reduction in the ability of the orcs.

In desperation, they surrendered, and Mayon also gave them freedom.

In order to prevent the orcs from living too well and attacking humans, Ma Yong made corals money, in order to control them, so that they had no time to think about war in order to eat and live hard.

Slowly continuing to the present, everything is decided by the rich people, and the best thing to use here is money, and it is also money that controls humans and orcs.

As a result, the rich are now particularly rich, and the poor are particularly poor.

Ma Yong also said that whoever has money counts, and if someone is richer than himself, then he will be the leader of the city.

As soon as these words came out, the whole city began to desperately earn money and went to the sea to take coral.

After listening, Huang Yi smiled, and then said to Liu Chengfeng: "It's really a fool's policy." ”

Liu Chengfeng listened and felt okay, at least the one named Ma Yong was a hero, although he didn't advocate that money was more important than everything, but it also solved the relationship between humans and orcs.

But when he heard Huang Yi's words, he asked a little incomprehensibly, "What do you mean by this?"

Huang Yi asked rhetorically: "Do you know why the people here are especially rich and the poor are particularly poor?"

Liu Chengfeng shook his head.

"It's actually very good for them to do this, free competition, can make money circulate quickly, and play a great role in the development of the whole city, but it is for this reason that people are paying attention to money, money is power, many people mean to make money, but they don't want to pay money, and reserve their right to be an uncle, because of this, they lose their sympathy and don't know how to help the poor, so the poor are getting poorer and poorer, and the rich have the right to monopolize a lot of money-making industries, and there is no chance for the poor at all, you will not be richer than a moneymaker. ”

After hearing this, Liu Chengfeng suddenly realized, and secretly praised Ma Yong for being a ruthless person.

Then he said to himself: "It seems that this fool's policy is a double-edged sword, although it can maintain the relationship between humans and orcs, but it is also a policy that the poor will never turn over." ”
