Chapter 155: The Royal City (2)
"Wangcheng?" I don't care if the channel he says is not channeled, but the Wangcheng he is talking about arouses my curiosity: "What is Wangcheng?" ”
"The land under our feet is the royal city!" Yue Lao explained on the side: "When you first left, there were only tens of thousands of people here, and there was no name, but gradually, more than 20 million people lived here, and it was not even good to have a name, so after a few days of meetings, we took a king as the name of the city, first, it is consistent with the surname of your previous life, and it can attract more masters, and second, it is also compatible with your identity in your previous life, after all, you were the king of Hades for a while in your previous life!" ”
Well, when I heard that a place was named after me, I felt a surge of pride!
On the side of the road, from time to time, there are bird cars passing by, although there is a lot of war outside, but the days have to pass, so I see the scene is a helpless atmosphere with so much desire for survival and order, this newly built city is quite clean, quite orderly, passers-by on both sides sometimes nod at me in a friendly way, among them, some are tied with ancient straw ropes, some are wearing suits, some are holding thick documents in their hands, and some are simply wearing military uniforms and wandering the streets.
Although there are many differences between the various people, I still admire the calmness, and for our group, they do not show excessive humility and reverence, everything seems natural and plain.
There are not too many tall buildings in the city, the only remaining group of high-rise buildings is built in the center of the city, that area was built by Ma Feng's construction team in the early years, so many years have passed, the number of high-rise buildings is still those, in this flat city is particularly abrupt, particularly conspicuous.
The stone brick paved road is quite smooth, extending in all directions, and there are many shops of all kinds on both sides, from clothing, food, housing and transportation, to entertainment and games, everything is everything, and what surprises me even more is that there is a money village on the street we pass by.
"Why are you still opening a bank?" I was shocked and turned to Shennong's No. 1 and asked.
"It's an essential element of the city's existence!" Shennong's No. 1 said quite seriously: "Don't think that we are putting on a score, messing around, or putting on a show, let me tell you, this money bank is a key to the stability of this city!" ”
Shennong Clan No. 1 paused, and then said: "At first, I was the same as you thought, no matter how many people there are here, no matter how many forces there are here, as long as I give them enough food and drink, I can control the situation here, but I was wrong, this is not a military camp, the four soldiers of Yama have taken off their military uniforms, and there are ordinary people over there, they need to survive and create their value!" At first, it was very chaotic here, although I tried my best to control it, but there were always all kinds of situations, either someone worked undead and wandered the streets all day long, or someone often stole other people's things, but it was completely inappropriate to do the same thing, although there was a law enforcement team I specially set up in the city, but it still could not solve the number of vicious and incidents that increased dramatically! Later, Ma Feng and Li Dazhui put forward an idea to me, saying that they wanted to build a small economy and make the city active, and I reluctantly agreed. But I didn't expect that this method is really effective, you see, now everyone is distributed according to work, and can get a reasonable remuneration according to individual contributions, and then, you can control your own labor income, do what you want to do, this is completely an independent business kingdom. After that, all kinds of malignant and incidents gradually disappeared, everyone's enthusiasm also increased, and they worked harder! ”
"......" I was confused by what this guy said, and after staring at the door for a long time, I continued to ask: "The establishment of an institution like Qianzhuang requires a lot of financial support, where do you get so much gold as the principal?" ”
"Who said you want the principal?" Shennong's No. 1 took out a pebble from his pocket, handed it to me, and said, "This thing works better than gold in our place!" Ma Feng said, if gold is used as the currency in circulation, it is very easy to be affected by Qin Sheng, and when the time comes, we will have the impact of price inflation here, and the people in the city will ultimately suffer, so since we have decided to establish a perfect internal business system, it is natural to have our unique currency, and the thing you are looking at is made of those dark iron that you brought back, but the content is relatively low, but despite this, this thing is definitely qualified as a currency in circulation, the entire underworld, We have this thing here, by the way, the hammer, axe, stove and Niu Lao Wu donated all the dark iron you paid them back then as our currency, and this account is recorded on your head, and in the future, you will naturally have to calculate it in detail with them! In addition, when Li Ming and them buy goods from outside or sell our specialties, they still use gold for trading! ”
I was stunned when I heard this, if I had been left in the past and let me face such a situation, I would probably have two situations, one is as Shennong's No. 1 said, thinking about all problems very simply, and as a result, I am afraid that in the end things will still end in chaos, and second, I will probably not be able to withstand such a tedious and complicated torture and collapse early.
But this city has persevered tenaciously in this situation, I can't help but think of an old saying, when it comes to the bridge, God will not die of hunger and blindness, whether it is someone I can afford at the time, or someone who looks down on me, in this kind of city full of crises, have survived tenaciously.
While walking, while understanding the situation, unconsciously, we walked to the center of the building, Jiang Ziya's wooden house, the log house of several of us is still there, and the time seems to have returned to before, back to the time when I went west.
In front of my house, there were countless tables, filled a whole large open space, one by one, I couldn't count the number, the tables were full of all kinds of drinks and food, although it didn't look very rich, but it still gave me a wonderful feeling, I felt as if I had returned home, and saw the dishes of my hometown, and my mouth couldn't help but drool.
"Although life is hard, I can finally get by!" Shennong's No. 1 stared at the large table in front of him, and said a little woodenly: "These things are all produced by our royal city, it is not unusual, today you are back, we naturally want to have a good birthday!" ”
I smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a little embarrassed!" ”
"Don't the calf!" Shennong's No. 1 laughed and scolded: "I don't mean anything else, I just think that we have been silent for too long, suppressed for too long, in the past ten years, we have lived a messy life, in order to live, for three meals a day, we live a very depressed life, to be honest, I have no goal, I don't know what I should do, I don't know what else I can do, for a year or two, I even thought about suicide, I don't want to see all this again, seeing this standardless and boundless darkness, I don't want to care about the world anymore, and I don't want to care about any chaos or chaos." I just want to leave! ”
"Sometimes despair is really scary!" Shennong's No. 1 continued: "Brother Kou's kind is better, at least he has unloaded his emotions from his face, the real danger is those who have become numb, they have lost the idea of resisting this torture, if no one gives them hope, they really can't hold on!" ”
I nodded heavily: "I see what you mean!" Old God, after we finish eating, I have something important to say to you! ”
Shennong's No. 1 didn't look suspicious at all, as if he had already guessed that I had something to say to him alone, he smiled and shook his body, and then said in a very weak voice: "Don't tell me, at least for now, I believe everything I see with my eyes!" As for the future...... Let's talk about it later! ”
