Chapter 5 Wanhe City

Three thousand miles in the evening, the north and south are still in one day, the turbulent and turbulent sleepless river starts in the northwest, and finally the southeast, with a total length of more than 6,800 kilometers, and a straight line spanning distance of more than 5,500 kilometers, it is the second largest river in the Maple Leaf Continent, and it is also a river with the fastest river flow, and in the thousands of years of history in the pre-disaster era, it has been one of the two major transportation waterways called the Yemai River. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 For thousands of years, the mineral resources of the west and northwest will go south along the Sleepless River and be transported by ship to various regions in the southeast, while the silk and hemp grain and oil in the southeast will go north along the relatively gentle Yemai River River to feed the barren areas in the northwest.

Therefore, since ancient times, many cities have been established along the banks of the Sleepless River, especially the metallurgical and forging industries, which have flourished in the cities on both sides of the Sleepless River, and some cities have even won the reputation of gold and iron capitals.

Of course, not only the transportation function, but also the natural function of the sleepless river has been very important since ancient times. Geologists have always believed that the south-central region has not been affected by the southern desert and has not become as hot as the oven there, entirely because of the moisture of the Sleepless River, which is the biggest contributor to protecting the south-central Maple Leaf region from desert erosion.

As it is true, the Sleepless River brings not only abundant precipitation, but also fertile silt. The surging torrent of the Sleepless River runs along the river to the southwest estuary, but when it arrives in the central and southern regions, the river course suddenly changes due to the topography, the river channel that was originally almost a straight line, has turned six dangerous bends in a row in the central and southern regions, known as the Liuqu Plain, the original turbulent river water suddenly becomes slow and calm here, the silt carried in the river water continues to accumulate on both sides between the dynamic and static changes, after hundreds of millions of years of precipitation, a thousand miles of fertile soil has been formed on both sides of the Sleepless River, the southern part of the maple leaf is the broadest, and it is also the Liuqu grassland with the same name as the Xisai grassland on the north bank of the Qujiang River in the north of the maple leaf, which is located in the west of the Liuqu Plain。

The fertile pastures and warm climate make the Liuqu grassland covered with green all year round, and it has become one of the two largest livestock bases in the Maple Leaf Continent.

In addition to the Liuqu grassland in the west, the Hetao Plain in the east is a holy place for grain production, and the warehouses are full of warehouses in the ancient texts, and the things are luxurious, which describes the wealth of the Hetao Plain.

It's a pity that after the catastrophe, countless creatures have been alienated under the stimulation of source energy, and the five major waterways of maple leaves are full of all kinds of fierce aquatic beasts, dominating the waters in groups, making water transportation an impossible delusion, people can only look at the river and sigh, and finally give up the plan of water transportation.

Trapped in the city, losing control of the wilderness, the rich products brought by the Liuqu Plain are difficult for human beings to reuse, the original Liuqu grassland is prosperous, and the Hetao Plain can only exist in historical records, and it is difficult to reproduce.

As a result, the once densely populated Liuqu Plain is now deserted, especially within the Liuqu Grassland, where only a few hunting cities are still barely holding on, exchanging leather products for some necessities from the outside world.

However, Wanhe City is the exception of the exceptions.

Wanhe City is a 300-year-old city, located on the north bank of the Sleepless River, at the junction of grasslands and hills in the north of the Liuqu grassland. In the pre-disaster era, this hilly area was an important place rich in copper and tin mines, and when the post-disaster calendar was re-established, a man surnamed Wang immediately established a new city in this area, and the mines around the city are the city's special resources.

However, the first generations of the owners of the Wang family are obviously a group of long-term guys, they know very well that these ores cannot be eaten or used, and the substitution is very strong, and relying solely on ores to maintain the operation of the city, they will be like other mineral cities, and must take the initiative to take huge risks to form caravans for foreign trade in order to live better.

Therefore, it took them nearly 100 years to attract and train a large number of professionals in the electronics manufacturing industry while mining ore for foreign trade, and in the last ten years, they devoted the whole city to purchase a lot of production equipment. Finally, 100 years after the city was built, the city finally succeeded in transforming itself into a specialized production of various electronic components, using copper and tin, which were produced in special products, as well as plastic boxes and other rare metals obtained from foreign trade.

There are very few cities on the Maple Leaf Continent that have the ability and technology to specialize in the production of electronic components, so their appearance makes major cities come here, not only surrounding cities, but even some cities with a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers will also place some large orders at any cost, and then take the risk of a lot of losses, and transport the goods back to the city. Finally, the centennial plan of the first generations of owners was realized, and the city also relied on their centennial plan to grow from a small city with a population of more than 10,000 to a medium-sized city with a population of nearly 50,000.

But the people of the Wang family, who may have had a unique eye for economics, were apparently novices in politics, and they had no idea what would happen when the city became prosperous and wealthy. Within a few years of the successful transformation, a rebellion broke out in the city, and several important ministers conspired, and one of the three commanders of the combined army staged a mutiny and stormed the castle lord's mansion. Due to the immobility of the other two commanders, the city lord's mansion was quickly broken, and the century-old royal family was slaughtered, but the rebellious ministers did not get any benefit, and the self-proclaimed commander of the new city lord sent someone to assassinate them one by one.

Since then, the city has fallen into a hundred years of chaos and turmoil, every twenty or thirty years, the city lord will change, and the city will also change its name, that is, it is thanks to these people who only fight in the military and political fields, and never do anything in the production and economic fields, so that the city can still maintain normal operation in the chaos.

It was not until the last forty years that the current reigning city lord of Wanhe City tried his best to suppress several military families that had formed a group, and at the same time placed corresponding civilian officials at every level of the city guard to compete with the military attaché in charge, that the city was saved from the continuous mutiny, so that the name Wanhe City continued for forty years.

When the eye could see the walls of Wanhe City, Rose just finished explaining the history of Wanhe City that she had learned, and finally did not forget to add: "Xiaohuo is not wrong to say that the city is lifeless, in such a historical background, the attitude of the citizens towards the city guards composed of capable people can be imagined, and of course the outsiders will also be implicated, so it is strange that they can appear full of vitality." But I don't think it's hard to get them to change their attitude. ”

"Of course, hehehehe. The crow chuckled darkly, "It must be that the big cat was too young at the beginning, otherwise she would have understood." ”
