Chapter 55: Huya Town
Lijia Village, where Li Ming is located, is more than 20 miles away from here, and the place is very remote, and he seems unwilling to take Ye Feng and his party there.
Ye Feng was not reluctant to do this, and decided to go to Huya Town first.
Huya Town is the only town within a hundred miles in the vicinity, and its strength is very strong, according to Li Ming, there are 2 6th order powerhouses.
In fact, there were some small towns nearby, but they were all destroyed by foreign beasts, and Huya Town was also established in the last ten years.
The two Rank 6 powerhouses in Huya Town have all learned from others, so they have the inheritance of warriors and strategists.
Li Ming was a fifth-order fighter who studied under Huya Town, and he had heard that they would send the best children in the town out to study.
Li Ming's Lijia Village only has 2 4th order professionals, and there is no such condition.
What makes Ye Feng happiest is that Huya Town also has a barracks, and will help nearby villages build militia barracks, but the price is very high.
This shows that there are architects in Huya Town, and at least at the expert level, I don't know if I can turn into the territory? Ye Feng is looking forward to it.
"Why don't you join Huya Town?" Ye Feng was very puzzled by this, and joined Huya Town, at least their safety was more guaranteed.
"Huya Town doesn't need so many people, otherwise it would be too dangerous. Moreover, the tax in Huya Town is very high, and we are asked to hand over the inheritance. Li Ming shook his head, disagreeing with this suggestion very much.
Ye Feng felt that the key was the latter two, but the more people gathered, the greater the risk.
He saw an opportunity to kidnap a group of people again.
The strange beasts encountered along the way became stronger and stronger, and the journey of less than 50 miles took nearly 4 hours.
Finally, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Feng vaguely saw the town in the distance.
Judging from the area of the city wall, it is only the size of a junior town, that is, 1000 (m) x 1000 (m), but Li Ming said that it is an intermediate town.
It can be inferred that the population of the city is at most in the early 5,000s, which can also reduce the risk of being attacked by Tier 7 alien beasts.
There were more than 100 people in Ye Feng's party, and they were all armed with weapons, which was very eye-catching.
Therefore, it was discovered by the guards of Huya Town from afar, and aroused their high vigilance, and hundreds of soldiers and 2 professionals gathered at the city gate.
"Who are you?" When Ye Feng and his party arrived at the city gate, a middle-aged professional led by them immediately asked questions.
"We are merchants from the Han Dynasty." Ye Feng continued to use the statement he had thought of before.
"My lord, this is my teacher Wu Jiang, and the other one is also a fifth-order fighter." Li Ming introduced Ye Feng in a whisper.
Wu Jiang also discovered Li Ming and immediately called him over to inquire.
It was only a few minutes before Ye Feng and his party were allowed to enter the town, but Wu Jiang and another professional followed with 100 soldiers.
After entering the town, Li Ming and Ye Feng and his party parted. It can be seen that he does not have a close relationship with Wu Jiang, and according to him, he has been given a lot of things to get the opportunity to learn. In other words, the two are more of a relationship of interest.
Ye Feng secretly checked the surrounding soldiers with [Insight] as he walked forward, and he found that these soldiers were only 3rd order, and it seemed that Huya Town had not mastered the method of advancing soldiers to 4th order.
Ye Feng had experimented with [Insight Technique] on Li Kui before, and found that people of rank 5 and above could perceive it, and they could only see health value, so he didn't dare to use it on these two professionals.
Judging from the rank of their soldiers, the high-end combat power of Huya Town is still all professionals, and the overall strength is indeed not very strong.
Ye Feng had thought about the method of being able to obtain a soldier's 4th rank from here, but it seemed that there was no hope.
Soon the group arrived at a small courtyard next to the mayor's mansion, and it seemed that Ye Feng's strength was not enough for the mayor to receive him personally.
Let the soldiers stay outside, Ye Feng and Li Kui followed Wu Jiang into the small courtyard, and sat down in the lobby.
"You don't know what you want to buy?" Wu Jiang asked only after the next person served tea.
"It depends on your prices here, and you know I'm a businessman." Ye Feng didn't know anything about the Great Wilderness, but he didn't watch so many TV series in vain, and everything was handled easily.
"Hmm. Then you take a break, and I'll give you a list later. Wu Jiang nodded, and finally became more convinced that Ye Feng and the others were businessmen. And he is also very experienced, and at first glance he often deals with this kind of thing.
"Okay, can we go out and have a look?" Ye Feng doesn't have the strength to confront Huya Town now, and everything here needs to be agreed by others, so it is very necessary to pay attention to these details.
"No problem." Wu Jiang thought that Ye Feng wanted to check the market here, so he agreed without much thought.
When Wu Jiang and the two left, Ye Feng began to think back to the details he had seen along the way.
First of all, the population of Huya Town is estimated to be around 5,500 people, with only one street.
There are very few people coming from other places, so the economy is very sluggish.
Moreover, the people who came were relatively powerful, and it can be seen that Huya Town did not clear a wide security area.
There is not much farmland in and out of the town, and it is estimated that the total is only more than 4,000 mu, which is not at all as vigorously cultivated as Ye Feng's territory.
Judging by the way the townspeople are dressed, their lives are not very good either.
And in this small courtyard, I saw some subordinates, which means that there is a class division in Huya Town, unlike all the people in Buxi Town are equal.
So Huya Town is more like a family territory, and the high-level people here are very unmotivated.
These made Ye Feng see an opportunity, there must be open and secret battles in this environment, and maybe he could get what he needed through money.
Then Ye Feng took Li Kui to the street near the city gate, ready to check the transaction situation here.
Ye Feng walked all the way and found that there were a total of 8 shops here, and there were some NPCs setting up stalls next to them.
The shops here all use the currency of the Han Dynasty, that is, copper, silver, and gold coins.
The idea is to sell various daily necessities such as grain, meat, and salt, as well as various daily necessities such as pottery bowls, wooden chopsticks, and wooden basins.
The price of these things is more than twice that of the grocery store in Endless Town, which is very black-hearted.
Of course, they also buy grain and meat, but the grain is only 0.5 copper coins per unit, and the meat of alien beasts below the 4th level is up to 10 copper coins per unit, and they still need to see the price after seeing the goods.
After reading it, Ye Feng only had one evaluation, and that was the black heart.
Those who set up stalls can barter, and as long as both parties feel fit, a deal can be struck.
The street was only more than thirty meters long, and Ye Feng quickly finished turning.
In the end, he found that the cheapest thing here was all kinds of exotic meat. The price of ordinary Tier 2 Alien Beast meat is about the same as that of Beast Meat, and the end result is that ordinary residents can't afford to eat meat at all, and human flesh that can hunt can't be sold for the price it deserves.
No wonder there is a caravan of big men here, the profit of the alien beast meat is too high, 300% high, it is completely worth their risk.
After chatting with a few of the residents here, Ye Feng found that many of them had never read a book. He shook his head speechlessly, this is the limitation of the thinking of the high-level of Huya Town.
Ye Feng had already seen the library in Huya Town, maybe only the descendants of the rich or high-ranking could enroll.
He decided in his heart that he must save the inhabitants of this place in the future.
More than half an hour later, Ye Feng returned to the small courtyard. After sitting in the lobby for a few minutes, Wu Jiang walked in with an animal skin, this time he was alone.
After some conversation, Ye Feng took the animal skin and prepared to see what could be bought.
