Chapter 238: Golden Shells

Like all countries with a long history and culture, since the beginning of the country, the kingdom of San Chio has had its own state law and way of life, perfect political, economic and military systems, because of different environments and leaders, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, but always strong to survive. [Full text reading]

For Chen Yi, this kind of government is like the Qing state encountered by the Europeans in the 19th century, although the latter is backward but unusually large and stubborn, but from another point of view, although it cannot completely control the country, but through the indirect influence of its rulers to achieve the goal, it takes little energy, but the gains are great, especially when the latter has a request for you, it is easy to form a win-win situation.

It's just that the Kingdom of San Chio won the future, and Chen Yi won the present.

Years of war are not easy for any country, even if it is a victor.

Just like the European colonizers of the past, Chen Yi also likes the way of trading, which is always easier than being a builder. For example, informing Timothy of buying a household belongings is less worry-free than cultivating indigenous production materials.

Moreover, the latter may cost even more. If it weren't for the lack of choice, Chen Yi would not have opened up a settlement in the Western Continent.

If it happens, Yu Weichao can still work in the unit with peace of mind, complaining about the sky and rebelling against elitism, She Lei will be a little miserable, and it will be a more comfortable punishment to be assigned to Xijiang.

Only one-third of the half-subway supplies were sent to the Kingdom of San Chio, and the rest, in the envy of Master Timothy, was transported to the Western Continent.

The capacity of the subway is almost unlimited, and it is very simple to carry twenty tons of supplies casually. As for loading and unloading, Chen Yi, who is now level 8 in fighting skills, is not very hard to carry more than a ton of things in both hands.

When he was transporting goods, he thought that if he had the level of paladins one day, he wouldn't run around when he was short of money, so he went to the dock to work as a humanoid gantry crane, and moved a container for 20 yuan, and moved 100 a day, which was enough to eat two sheep. I just don't know that animals like Superman consume so much physical strength every day, and the energy of the two sheep is enough to replenish it.

Walking out of the light gate, the sunlight outside was more dazzling, the mud on the ground was slightly less, and all kinds of weeds two or three people tall were more and more lush, and it was a midsummer scene.

"It's annoying in the summer." Chen Yi rushed out of the light door with the transformed little lizard, and immediately fell into the mud.

Today's Phantom Dragon has become a truck. The M977 heavy-duty mobile transporter of the Oshka company is known as the most mobile transporter in the US Army. It took Chen Yi a lot of effort to get a dismantled big guy from the Jiangning Military Region, and then he didn't assemble it, just counting the parts and eating it, just because there were too many non-metallic materials, and he ate it very slowly -- just its extremely famous central tire inflation and deflation system coerced and lured the little lizard to eat it for a week, and it also took more than two tons of copper, which was not cheap. But the land on the western continent is obviously worse than that of Kosovo, and the overloaded heavy trucks are helpless in the face of 2-meter-deep water.

Chen Yi wiped his sweat hard and got out of the cab. complained in his heart, the weather in the Western Continent was originally hot enough, and now the light is getting more and more intense, and I don't know if Yu Weichao can survive.

"Fortunately, I got some medicine, I hope this thing is okay." Chen Yi didn't want to change people twice in three days, and every time a new person in charge was replaced, he had to disrupt the plan. Moreover, it is still relatively rare for someone like Yu Weichao to be unconcerned and voluntarily conscious, at least semi-voluntary and semi-conscious, to have a newcomer in different time and space.

The little lizard sang in the tune of Feng Gong who looked at it one day: "Ghost place, this is a place where ghosts don't like to come......"

But no matter whose tune it was, it couldn't get out of the quagmire even though it had the strength to feed, so it had to say "no" helplessly.

"Change to a high-horsepower engine."

"Then how can you say that you can change it." That being said, the little lizard changed to a powerful engine, and before coming, it ate quite a bit of equipment. However, the engine that can replace the high horsepower is also due to the fact that it is now at the level of fighting skills, and if it is a phantom dragon with a level of physical skills, it will have to be redressed, and it cannot be freely combined. It's not like now, the location is not enough to open a little, and the pipes are not suitable to be widened a little. Of course, it's better to use the original fit......

It is said that a top-notch phantom dragon can become a dragon once it can deploy the most suitable body structure. But it's all a no-brainer, it's just spreading across the Magic Continent.

Focus on the moment, the future dragon equipped with a 500-horsepower engine still can't get out of the quagmire, and the wheel slippage is serious, but it's not horsepower.

Chen Yi thought to himself: Next time, I should let the little lizard eat some triangular tires, like snowmobiles and other things, so as not to encounter such a dilemma.

Thinking about it, the truck couldn't get on, so he had to push and pull it himself, and put hard objects underneath, and he was tired and sweaty before he got out of the quagmire.

"If the pit is too deep, I'll drown." The little lizard was worried.

"When you're going to drown, you're allowed to leave what's in the car." Chen Yi patted the steering wheel as he spoke, ordering it to continue moving forward.

The little lizard felt taken seriously and was glad that it didn't figure it out. It is up to it to decide whether to abandon the things in the car when you want to drown, but when is the "time to drown" is up to Chen Yi or God.

Within two minutes, the overloaded truck, which was pulling 20 tons of cargo, was once again sunk in rotten leaves, this time tangled in leaves as long as a person, tangling the tires.

Chen Yi had to get out of the car to tear it up, and ordered: "Turn into feet first." ”

The phantom dragon called out "Apollo Transformation", and one tire turned into a thick elephant's leg - it had never eaten an elephant, but if it only simulated its appearance, it would have enough meat at the fighting skill level.

Chen Yi tore off the rotten branches and rotten leaves on his legs and feet, and then turned it into a tire. M977 claims to be able to wade 1.5 meters deep, but in the western continent, this height is really not enough.

It's just two kilometers, and it's actually 2 hours to walk. When he saw a section of hard road, not to mention Chen Yi, the little lizard himself choked up: "If I become a dragon, I will definitely use the dragon's breath to bake all the muddy ponds here into hard roads." ”

Chen Yiding said hopelessly: "You might as well eat a bulldozer, eat a road roller, and spend 50 years struggling here ......"

50 years in a world without metal? The phantom dragon smiled respectfully, "I still have to serve your master." ”

Chen Yi snorted, stepped on the accelerator and steering wheel and got off the road.

The reason why it is "down" is because the road surface is full of big footprints stepped out by the beasts, and these monsters of about 30 tons will step deep into the ground like a road roller, until the soil on both sides turns over, and then step into it, and these steps out of the road naturally form a shape that is low in the middle and high on both sides.

Compared to the beast, the height of the truck is much lower, and the view in the middle of the road is not good, but it is still much more comfortable than struggling in the mud.

Roaring all the way, the truck arrived at Yuncun first.

After more than a month, the Yuncun seen today is already a prosperous scene, first of all, the tall stone wall, which is replacing the log wall, and about forty or fifty people are directing the work of unknown giant beasts, and their movements are not slow at all.

Outside the village, four villagers armed with swords and soldiers were checking pedestrians in full costumes. And the non-stop flow of people also lined up to enter the village in accordance with the rules. Some of these non-Mara City villagers still have to pay some things at the gate to enter. They collected a wide variety of taxes from their gates, from grain to meat and leather, oil and shells. Chen Yi looked strange, if this was a few months ago, Yun Village, he would be happy to have one person come every day, how could there be a river now.

His truck also attracted the attention of the villagers, and there were giant monsters in the Western Continent, but it also attracted a lot of discussion. A transporter curiously poked its head out of the pen and sniffed over the truck with its 10-meter-long neck.

It seems that it is a little difficult to understand why such a small thing can carry so many things.

It was Chen Yi who got out of the car and recruited a villager from Yuncun.

"Chen Xingshang, you're here."

"Hello."

"I'm Yun Thirteen." The men and women of Yuncun are still accustomed to wearing similar clothes, which used to be animal skins, but now they are all camouflage uniforms, and at first glance, it seems that they have arrived in South America or East Asian military camps.

However, compared to the more familiar villagers such as Yun Wu and Yun Ba, Yun 13 was a thin young man, and he looked at Chen Yi excitedly. Unlike those strong peers, in the early days, it was difficult for frail teenagers to survive on their own, they could not go hunting, and it was equally dangerous to pick wild fruits - forty or fifty meters, or even more than a hundred meters high, lived in the bushes, which were completely different from other animals on the ground, and those agile creatures either had strong lower limbs, or had strong upper limbs, patrolling their respective territories in groups, like chengguan with a temporary worker license, once they found that anyone had invaded their territory, they would immediately grin and pounce on it, They don't care about the interests of the other party, or even their own interests.

However, although the thin boy did not have a strong body, he was gifted with language. At a time when most adults are unable to fully express their semantics, they are able to bargain with others in the market - this is quite an easy task, and before education was widespread, there were many people in the countryside who were speechless, and there were not many people who were proficient in words and various semantics.

It is this skill that has allowed the boy to survive to this day, and thanks to the fact that the forest has always had enough food in recent years, otherwise he would have been the priority of natural selection.

However, after the rise of commerce in Yun Village, Yun 13 had the capital to make a living, and he was also the first professional merchant in the village - completely different from the merchant.

Chen Yi didn't know this, just nodded and went in.

There have also been great changes in the village, not only new houses, but also two-story new buildings, hollow materials similar to bamboo, with long poles with green branches and leaves, indicating their freshness.

On the stone bench in the center of the village, many different faces began to appear. When Chen Yi stood there, everyone's expressions changed.

Nervous? Agitated? Hope? Lose sleep over something?

"This is the village's trading office." Yun Thirteen, who chased behind, proudly introduced.

"Merchants?"

"It's a place for the merchants to stay, and there's a merchant house in the back for them to live in for free." As soon as Yun Thirteen's word box was opened, it couldn't be closed, and he chattered: "Only Shangyun Village has a merchant office, I went once, every time they transported goods, they took the merchants to the village for free, and they also gave them another ride for free, so the merchants were willing to go...... We are amazing, the merchants have come on their own initiative, and some villagers from other places are living in the homes of acquaintances. ”

In this era, the most expensive cost for merchants should also be the cost of logistics. They are not like single travelers, they have many expensive or heavy goods, and in order to match the toil and risk they pay, they often demand three or five times the profit.

Shangyun Village can avoid the largest transportation costs, which will naturally attract many merchants.

Yuncun is different, they attract merchants because of the cheap cost of goods.

Chen Yi looked at the fact that there were both merchants who sold goods and merchants who bought goods, or rather, each merchant was in the process of receiving and selling goods, and most specially, they were willing to pay for it with money and shells like money...... In other places, bartering is normal and can be used to pay for acquisitions, which means that the main purpose of the merchants is to make acquisitions, and they have been prepared for them.

This is good news for everyone.

Chen Yi smiled slightly.

Two "pops" came from behind him.

Chen Yi hurriedly turned his head to look, but it was the village chief who came in a hurry, and gave Yun 13 two slaps.

I saw him scold in an angry tone: "What are you bringing Chen Xingshang here for?" You're a bastard traitor......"

It's good that he didn't scold, as soon as he opened his mouth, the businessman who was still hesitating knew that Chen Yi was the legendary Chen businessman, how could he still sit there, he had already surrounded him, and all kinds of sounds came out of his mouth.

"I have cash"

"Chen Xingshang, buy a sword at twice the price."

"Buy a sword ...... three times the price"

"I'll also give twice as many clothes."

The voice of "I've got everything for you" is particularly eye-catching, and it is the merchant who traded shells before.

The people around them gradually quieted down, and they could see the amount of cargo on the strange beast, such a tall pile of things, to be packed, I don't know how much it cost?

"Why don't you go to Yu Weichao to buy goods?" Chen Yi looked at him curiously.

"I'm Lanier, a merchant from Mara City." According to the rules, the other party revealed his name before saying, "You are talking about the fish in the water village, right?" ”

Chen Yi, who ate konjac, also had a hard time understanding such a statement, and thought for a while before laughing: "It's a fish." ”

"He has too little stuff, we want a lot of it." Ranier took out a shell and said, "For each sword, I'll pay you 10 snail shells." ”

Chen Yi secretly thought, only 10? But when he received the shell, his hand sank.

There is weight

It's good to have weight.

He covered his fingers with a layer of vindictive energy, and then carefully rubbed it—not gold.

That's even better.

On Earth, there are more metals worth more than gold. Those who are a little thinner dare to shout that the price is more than gold, and the rest are said to be more valuable than gold.
