2379 Ancient Nation
"That's too backward, isn't it......"
"It's exactly the same as 10,000 years ago, when there was no modernization......
The three of them have been in the Xuanyuan Empire for a long time, and they have been living in Hongcheng, living a high-tech life, where have they ever seen such an ancient city.
The houses here are not big, the streets are not wide, and there are no high-tech installations such as sensor street lights and sunny floors, let alone the world network.
Looking at the group of uncles in front of them, leading donkey-like animals, passing by the street, almost made them feel as if they had returned to the era of 10,000 years ago.
The Xinghai Continent has entered the scientific and technological society tens of thousands of years ago, and some large empires such as the Tianhai Empire, which started early, entered the high-tech era forty or fifty thousand years ago. After all these years of changes, almost the entire Xinghai Continent has entered the information age, and even the most backward small countries, because they are dependent on medium-sized countries, or large empires, will also enjoy such benefits.
Because compared to the huge population base here, there are still a lot of resources on the Xinghai Continent, and everyone can share the benefits here, even if some jobs at the bottom, even if the wages received are not very high, at least they can enjoy good residential accommodation conditions. As for the level of education, there are also high and low, but basically most of the schools are very modern.
A primitive place like Hulanguo is really rare, or rare.
The four of them walked on the street for a few hundred meters, and they saw a lot of customs, the people here are still very simple, although they have not lived a high-tech life, but they are very comfortable with this way of life, they are very adaptable.
There are some shops on both sides of the street, but most of them are their own residences, and the business in the shops is not particularly good, barely mediocre. Because people here don't seem to be very willing to enter the shops, perhaps the shops are still a rarity for most of the people here.
"Boss, come five catties of beef, and a few catties of good wine......"
At noon, Ye Chu and the four of them walked into a small restaurant, which was also a small restaurant that was rarely seen in several neighborhoods.
"Okay, a few guest officers, please wait, drink a pot of tea first, and I'll serve you food right away......"
The boss was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Ye Chu and the four of them coming in, he was very enthusiastic, and he poured tea and added some small snacks for them to eat for free.
"Boss, how is your business in this store?" Ye Chu asked with a smile.
What made him feel very strange was that the ordinary people on the streets of Hulan City couldn't even see through with their heavenly eyes.
Although the city was not large, and it was primitive and ancient, it brought Ye Chu a very strange feeling.
It's just that he can't say what the blame is now, so he talked to this boss for a good chat.
The boss's chef is his own son-in-law, and there are no customers in the store at this time, and there is no need for him to help in the kitchen, so he pulled a chair and chatted with Ye Chu and them.
"Hey, brother, just look around here, there are not many customers now, everyone is still a little suspicious of our newly opened restaurants......" The boss added hot tea to Ye Chu and the others, and said enthusiastically, "Please also ask the brothers to help me recommend more, I will definitely come to eat often in the future, if I have friends or something, I can also bring them to eat, I will give discounts......"
Ye Chu smiled and said: "That's natural, everyone hasn't eaten much outside before, it's rare for you to open it, we are also curious to come over and taste it to see how it tastes, and if it tastes good, we will naturally introduce people over......"
"Thank you so much......"
The boss was overjoyed, it was the first time he had encountered such an enlightened person as Ye Chu.
He introduced Ye Chu to them: "My small shop has been open for a month now, and I have already lost more than a dozen taels of silver, hey, it's all tears when I say it......"
"Why did you lose money?" Ye Chu frowned.
The boss sighed bitterly: "Actually, it's not that everyone is completely suspicious, but everyone has no silver, many people have never seen silver in their lives, even if they want to eat, they don't have silver......
"I don't think everyone is so poor, right?" Ye Chu thought for a while.
It turns out that the trading currency here is silver, which is completely different from the Xinghai Continent, which is traded with Xinghai coins. The monetary method here is still very primitive, and of course it is also hard currency.
Silver this thing, he put some spare in the world, if he took it out, it was estimated that he would scare the boss to death.
"If the golden doll comes to this place, I will definitely like it......"
Ye Chu suddenly thought of his third senior brother Golden Doll, that magic stick, but he likes the poor the most, if he sprinkles gold leaves and silver ingots here, it is estimated that he will collect a lot of faith power.
"Hey......" The middle-aged boss had already looked at Ye Chu and the others, and sighed, "Look at the brothers, they should often go out of the city to do business, people who do business generally have silver on them, and they will trade silver with surrounding countries......
"But ordinary people here, where to get silver, silver has only been in existence for a few years......"
Ye Chu nodded and said, "This is also ......"
"Actually, we came here from the side, and we are not from Hulan, so we don't know much about this place, and we also want to do some small business here......," Ye Chu said with a smile.
"Oh, so that's the case...... the middle-aged boss's eyes lit up, and he said with great joy, "Brother, see if you can take me, I'm very familiar with this Hulan country, this Hulan country only has such a big place, there is nothing I don't know, and it will be very convenient to partner with me......"
"Oh?" Ye Chu smiled and asked curiously, "Are you familiar with this lord?" I want to do big business......
"The lord of the country?" The middle-aged boss was stunned, and then smiled, "Brother, you are talking about the lord of Hong City, we don't have a lord here, only the lord of the city......"
"Only the city lord?"
"How can there be only the city lord, isn't this called Hu Languo?" Ye Chu was very confused.
The middle-aged boss explained with a smile: "You don't know anything about this brother, although our Hulan Kingdom is called a country to the outside world, it is actually a city." ”
"Almost all of the land is in Hulan City, and our Hong City Lord doesn't like others to call him the lord of the country, so he has always regarded himself as the city lord. ”
"Then you know him very well?" Ye Chu asked.
"I'm not very familiar, but he is the lord of a country, and there are tens of millions of people under his hands, and I am just a small shop......
The middle-aged boss changed his words, lowered his voice and said to Ye Chu and the others: "But I have a relative who works on an errand in the City Lord's Mansion, and he is a celebrity in front of the City Lord Hong......"
"It's not a small restaurant in this city that can be opened casually, you have seen a few brothers, and I am the only one in the neighborhood......"
