Chapter Seventy-Two: The Shocked Shang Ape
Time rewinds to two months ago, and Shang Ape had just received a report of the battle between King Wei's fiefdom and the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After looking at it for a while, Shang Ape frowned, and finally slapped the table in anger.
"This Sun Xiao is damned! He actually used the lives of ordinary people to feed demon beasts!"
Although Shang Ape was furious, but he had no choice, Sun Xiao was a nail inserted by the royal family and the Mingyue Sect in the territory of King Wei, and now was not the time to pull it out.
After cleaning up his mind, Shang Weiyang began to look at the news of the Zhenbei Army, and the geographical location of the Zhenbei Army was very complicated.
It is not only bordering the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, but also a border area with the Han Dynasty, so on the one hand, you have to guard against demon beasts, and you have to worry about the Han Dynasty secretly making trouble.
Fortunately, it is his eldest brother Shanghu who is currently in the army, but this year's beast tide is more fierce than ever, and the Zhenbei Army has actually lost 50,000 soldiers.
Looking at the military intelligence reports, Shang Ape's face has been so cloudy that it can drip water, and this year's beast tide is generally stronger than in previous years, and it can be said that the losses are heavy.
Suddenly, Shang Ape seemed to remember something, his third brother Black Rock City was also on the border of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.
Hurriedly took out the battle report of Black Rock City and looked at it, and after ten minutes, Shang Ape was shocked.
"Three... Three hundred. There were only 300 casualties, and it seems that the third brother is even smarter than he imagined! ”
When Shang Ape hurriedly came to Shang Wuji's study, he only heard his father roaring angrily in the study, "Hai Mingyue, you deceive people too much!"
I think my father may have just received the battle report and saw what Sun Xiao did.
Shang Ape tidied up his clothes and began to knock on the door of Shang Wuji's study.
"Come in" Shang Wuji heard an angry voice in the study.
After Shang Ape pushed the door in, he saw that the study was in a mess, and although he had some guesses, he still asked, "What made my father so angry?"
"That Hai Mingyue deceived people too much, and his subordinates actually dared to use the people of my fiefdom to feed the demon beasts!
"It turns out that father, you also got the news, although Sun Xiao is hateful, but now is not the time to pull out nails, and this year's beast tide is abnormal, and there are more demon beasts in some places. ”
Shang Wuji obviously hadn't looked at the next military situation yet, but just frowned and said, "What about the casualties?
Shang Yu also frowned and said: "It's not good, there are heavy casualties, and the big brother Zhenbei army has also lost 50,000 people relying on the city wall fortress."
However, the situation on the third brother's side was good, and he only lost 300 people, so he defended it!"
After Shang Wuji heard this, his frowning brow finally relaxed and said, "Make no mistake, you must know that I have been to Black Stone City when I discovered the Tianjing Mine, and the city wall is only three meters high, how can I hold it." ”
"This kid doesn't know, the third brother has been smart since he was a child, maybe he has other ways. ”
Shang Wuji frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of how Shang Weiyang was holding the city without relying on foreign aid. In the end, he decided to let Shang Ape go to Black Rock City in person, and by the way, he told him about the expedition in ten years, so that he could prepare early.
In this way, after two days of preparation, Shang Ape set off for Blackstone City.
After a month's journey, Shang Ape came to Xuanwu City to rest temporarily, during which he noticed that there were no beggars and poor people in Xuanwu City, and everyone was brightly dressed.
Curious, Shang Ape paid two gold coins and finally asked the reason, it was actually his third brother who dragged all the beggars and poor people in Xuanwu City to overhaul the construction.
It is said that it was necessary to build a road from Black Rock City directly to Xuanwu City, and it took 30,000 people to open the mountains and build bridges when encountering water.
And their new clothes are also made of cloth shipped from Blackstone City, with good quality and low price, it is said that the city lord of Blackstone City will be sold after the shortage of funds to defend against demon beasts!
Shang Ape was extremely shocked when he heard such news, he knew that Shang Weiyang had made a lot of money in the imperial capital, but he didn't expect his third brother to make such a big deal.
The next day, Shang Ape left Xuanwu City, and he couldn't wait to see what kind of exploits his third brother had made.
When he arrived at Green Water City, which was six hundred miles away from Black Rock City, Shang Ape found that this place was actually similar to Xuanwu City.
After arriving in the territory of Black Rock City, Shang Ape finally discovered the legendary 30,000-strong road repair team.
However, the number seemed to be only 8,000, and after asking the workers, I learned that they used a new steam engine, and there was no need for so many people.
Most of the people went to build the railway station, the Black Dragon Dam, and the Great Wall.
None of these three words Shang Ape understood, anyway, he had already arrived in the territory of Black Rock City, and when the time came, he could just ask Shang Weiyang directly.
With the encounter with the construction team, the roads in the future are all smooth and hard cement roads, and from time to time there are steaming and huge movements that can run without horses to transport materials.
I inquired with the workers, and this thing is called a steam tractor, which is very powerful and has a lot of uses.
Due to the large-scale land reclamation, the nearest post station to Black Rock City is also located in the farm, and the wasteland reclamation team works part-time.
When Shang Ape checked into the post station, he had been shocked by this way and had the ability to resist, but after listening to what the people of the Wasteland Reclamation Group said, he couldn't help but be shocked again.
"We have 1,000 people on this farm, most of whom are responsible for clearing and farming, and also pulling manure from the city to make fertilizer, building water towers, etc., this year the time is urgent, but 5,000 acres of land have been cleared.
And there are a total of 100 farms like ours, and some farms are said to only grow cotton, but this year's food should not be worried.
I'm doing well this year, and I'll officially apply for a Black Rock City hukou next year, and I'll be able to double my income by working in a factory in the city," Shang Ape clearly felt a hint of pride when the personnel of the Wasteland Reclamation Group said these words.
Although the post station had already sent out the letter, Shang Ape suddenly changed his mind, and he decided to go to the Black Rock City to investigate by himself.
After giving the coachman money and being dismissed, Shang Ape ran the exercises and went to Blackstone City alone.
After running for a day and a night, Shang Ape finally came to the gate of Blackstone City, and the tall city walls made him in a trance.
"This is what my father said, a small broken city with a three-meter-high wall, and this city is more than fifteen meters. ”
After sighing, Shang Ape was about to enter the city, but was stopped by someone from the Armed Forces Department, "Where's your ID card?"
"What kind of ID card, I don't know when I first came to Black Rock City. Shang Ape replied suspiciously.
"I didn't have an ID card to come here to apply for a temporary ID card, a gold coin for manual fees, and material fees. ”
Ten minutes later, the merchant ape entered Black Rock City with a temporary ID card painted with his portrait on it.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw a group of people surrounded by the notice board, discussing what the city lord's order was.
(ps: Shang Ape said don't ask me what the UC shock department is, I don't understand, I just know that the author needs to recommend tickets and collections, reward.) )
