In the grassland, there are also small towns. These towns were generally built next to large water sources, which were convenient for herders to supply and trade.

There are many kinds of livestock grazing in the Ere Empire, and they are generally similar to Ji Ran's original world, some cattle and sheep. These cattle and sheep can provide humans with a lot of meat, as well as products such as fur - most of the intelligent creatures of this world are still civilians. It cannot be expected that every civilian can eat the flesh of the beast and wear the leather armor made of the skin of the beast...... Therefore, grazing is also one of the important economic resources that can support a country.

This kind of town is built by the state. The land near the water source can be used to grow some crops and can be used for the residents of the town...... But in fact, the residents of the town rarely live on these crops.

Most of them were merchants...... Leave the town to buy goods in the big city during the annual season of abundant water and grass, and then trade with the herders when they return to trade sheepskin wool or whole cattle and sheep to make a lot of money. Of course, their existence also provides a lot of convenience for herders, and it can be regarded as mutually beneficial. Moreover, it is said that their trade is supported and monitored by the state to prevent oppression - whether it is for herders or traders.

When Les saw the town, he excitedly pulled the others: "We can finally have a good rest...... There must be a cosy inn in that town...... The empire put a lot of effort into building these places. ”

There are comfortable hotels, so it is natural to have a good rest. When you're in the wild, it's not convenient to take a shower or anything -- especially for girls. At the time of encountering some creeks and rivers. Everyone can also help each other take a shower. But if there are no such places. Then you can only endure the discomfort all over your body.

The men are fine, but the girls have long been a little unbearable.

With a cheer, the crowd immediately rushed towards the town.

It's late autumn and the grass is going to turn yellow soon. The herdsmen would sell the surplus cattle and sheep, and then find a place to set up camp and use the licorice stored in the summer to help the cattle and sheep survive the winter - Ji Ran didn't know how the herders of his original world did it, but in this world. According to Rice, herders have been doing this for thousands of years.

In fact, the Bright family has a large pasture, also on this prairie. The true aristocracy of the empire was generally proud to have a pasture on the prairie - after all, it was one of the foundations of the Ere Empire. As a real veteran aristocratic family in the empire, it is only natural that the Bright family has a pasture.

There are now many herders in the town, and they are bargaining with the merchants with the cattle and sheep they plan to sell. Many merchants also brought goods from the big cities of the empire to sell them - they knew very well what the herders needed. Iron pots, kettles, cotton cloths, blankets. There are also spices - beef and mutton are eaten every day, and there are spice spices. Definitely a big treat.

When they entered the town, everyone didn't care about anything else, and ran to the hotel to ask for a few rooms.

Although there are many herders who come to the town, they don't actually stay in hotels, and the abundance of wool and sheepskin can give them a good night's sleep. Moreover, they are reluctant to spend money on staying in hotels.

Inn for merchants and adventurers. Needless to say, the merchants took advantage of this time to trade with the herdsmen to make money. As for the adventurers, they come to the savannah to try their luck.

There are also demonic beasts on the prairie, although they are not particularly powerful, although every once in a while an army will come to sweep them, but there will always be some fish that slip through the net. The strength of the demonic beasts on this prairie is not high, and there is no complicated terrain, so it is relatively easy to hunt...... Many adventurers of the Ere Empire began their adventures in the savannah.

This qiē knowledge is all about them. Ji Ran and the others listened to it with relish, after all, these things would not be clearly marked on the historical and geographical books that Ji Ran read - but this special humanistic customs are still quite desirable.

After a comfortable shower, everyone sat down at the bottom of the hotel and ate an Ere-style meal. Rice naturally eats nostalgic, and others can be regarded as experiencing this special flavor. Of course, the food in this kind of place can't be compared with the big city, but there is also a wild style of the prairie - such as a whole roast lamb or something, smeared with a lot of spices, and the taste is actually quite good.

But Ji Ran thinks that it is okay to experience this flavor once in a while, and if you let yourself eat it all day, you will definitely not be able to stand it.

After eating and drinking, everyone was idle and bored, and began to wander around this town.

The town is built around the big blue lake, the water is so clear and clean that you can even see all kinds of fish swimming at the bottom of the water.

"Fish are not allowed to be caught casually, and there can only be one large-scale fishing per year. Moreover, the wastewater generated by the life of the town is not allowed to be discharged into the lake, in order to ensure the cleanliness of the lake. This lake is the most important foundation for the survival of this town. ”

Ji Ran nodded, protecting the environment is naturally the top priority. I didn't expect the high-level leaders of the Eray Empire to have this kind of insight...... It seems that the strength of the Ere Empire is not accidental.

"This is an order issued hundreds of years ago, when the Ere Empire was at its fastest, and it has been strictly enforced for hundreds of years. Although most of the high-ranking people in the Ere Empire are brainless, after all, they are not stupid enough to joke about the foundation of the empire. Les sighed, which made Ji Ran look strange - Rice was simply an angry young man! Well, it's not angry, it's angry?

No, if calculated according to the lifespan after upgrading to the gold rank, Les is indeed an angry young man now......

Thinking of things out of tune in his mind, Ji Ran walked all the way down the streets of the town. Now the town is bustling with activity, full of bargaining merchants and herdsmen. The herders were all dressed in cowhide and sheepskin, and they looked large and bloated. However, their movements are still flexible, probably after wearing them for a long time, they are used to it.

The faces of these herdsmen were also a frosty color, no different from those herdsmen in Ji Ran's previous world. Just looking at their bargaining, it is difficult to associate them with the hospitable herdsmen who are hospitable and hospitable when they see guests from afar, although they do from Les, as I hear from Les.

"Hospitality is hospitality, and buying and selling is buying and selling. In the beginning, the herdsmen suffered a lot of losses from these merchants because they were too bold and innocent. Therefore, the Ere Empire later realized this evil, made great efforts to combat this kind of behavior, and enacted laws to protect the interests of the herders. Later, however, a small number of herders used the law to encroach on the interests of the merchants, which caused a great headache for those who made the law...... It took generations of refinement for the current law to satisfy both merchants and herders. ”

Rice's words made Ji Ran break out in a cold sweat. Sure enough, there is no one in this world who is born to bully......

Looking at the transactions between the merchants and herdsmen next to him, Ji Ran was interesting at first, but then he felt that it was not interesting. Because their transactions are much the same...... The goods produced on various pastures were exchanged for the daily necessities of the merchants.

This kind of barter business practice has long been absent in the big cities, but here it is still very popular.

"Your materials are not worth much, I will give you this iron pot, and I will suffer a loss. Don't hesitate, go to someone else, I'm afraid I won't give you a single iron pot! ”

Suddenly, Ji Ran heard the voice of a businessman next to him.

Ji Ran turned his head curiously, and saw a middle-aged merchant who was a little fat and gorgeously dressed, trading with a dark and thin young herdsman who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old.

The merchant persuaded the young man bitterly, holding an iron pot in his hand. The iron pot - even if Ji Ran used it for cooking, he was not happy, because it was too rough. But judging by the wistful look in the dark and thin boy's eyes, he seemed to like it very much.

Don't think that by legislating to protect herders' rights and interests, they will be able to live a prosperous life...... In fact, most herders' biggest possessions are their cattle and sheep. If the daily necessities can be more abundant, there are tea leaves to make milk tea, spices to put in the meat, and some cotton cloth or something to make underwear...... That's quite a wealthy family.

This thin black boy obviously did not belong to the wealthy kind, so the iron pot made him salivate. However, the boy seemed to know that the herb in his hand was not an ordinary thing.

"Your iron pot can't replace my herbs! My herbs are all of the best quality! And this one, this is grass that grows from the blood of a dragon flying through the sky, which is worth a lot of money, and an iron pot is not enough! ”

The merchant immediately looked around sweating profusely, and now that no other merchant was there, he relented and continued to persuade in that bitter tone: "Why don't you listen to what I say?" Don't say if you're seeing a real dragon or not, even if it is, so what? It was by accident that the dragon's blood fell there, and it was also by chance that this grass grew! It's just an ordinary herb, even if it's a little higher-quality, but an iron pot is enough......"

Hearing their conversation, Ji Ran's ears pricked up. Then he looked at the grass in the thin boy's hand, and Ji Ran was immediately excited.

It wasn't an ordinary herb like the merchant had said, but Dragon's Blood Celery! This thing is definitely a coveted herb for alchemists, and it can be used to refine many potions. However, Ji Ran also knew a way to refine the dragon blood contained in the dragon blood celery!

Dragon blood is not like the blood of other demonic beasts, it can only be used to refine potions. If it is used to refine magic weapons, it will definitely be able to refine high-quality magic weapons!

So, he immediately walked over. (To be continued......)
