Chapter 22: The Battlefield of Fighting
Ye Guyun chatted with the businessmen for a long time, spent a pleasant dinner time, got a lot of useful information he wanted, and also made several new friends. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially the round head named Smart. This guy is definitely a good communicator, and he can always scratch the itch on the most urgent person at the most suitable time, so that he can smile happily, so that the scene has always maintained a high atmosphere, and everyone is always in the mood until the joy is gone.
Ye Guyun silently wrote down this name in the small book in his heart.
The dinner came early, so it ended early, so that when the three of them returned to the city, the orange-red disc-like sunset still hung reluctantly in the sky, swaying a rich golden afterglow.
The three of them walked through the streets, walking slowly, looking left and right, as if they were walking. On the side of the street, in the square, the vendors who had been busy all day were packing up or preparing to clean up, and it was almost time to close. This city, or the world, doesn't seem to have a habit of night markets.
Frank touched his round belly, reminiscing about the delicacies he had just tasted, and he felt that the dishes he had tasted would be more delicious when he sat down with the merchants, and listened to their introductions, boasts, and boasts. This is probably the effect of the atmosphere. Thinking of this, he asked Ye Guyun, "Ye, why do you like to eat with merchants?"
In fact, there is a second half of the sentence, "Is it because eating with them will be extraordinarily delicious?", but he didn't dare to ask, it would seem naΓ―ve.
However, Ye Guyun's answer surprised him: "Because I want to know about this city." β
"Crescent City is a commercial city, and only merchants, successful and not too successful, can have a relatively real and objective understanding of it. Ye Guyun looked at Luo Qi and pointed to something, "Of course the data is good, it is very useful, very reasonable, and very clear, but after all, it is based on the results, it is only a faithful reflection of the results, but it may not be able to accurately and completely reflect the process and reasons." β
"Taught. "So, what do you know?"
"The meal was good, I think I already knew what I wanted to know, I had a new set of impressions of Crescent City, and to be honest, a little bit of a surprise to me. β
"Oh, what are they?" asked Roche curiously.
"There are good and bad. β
"Okay?"
"Crescent City is a rich city, his lords are rich, his inhabitants are rich, even if it is an inconspicuous passer-by in him, it is likely that he will be rich. Ye Guyun praised, "You said before that you spent nearly a month's financial income in one night, and I thought your city would be poorer at that time." You know, in my world, only small cities with low incomes have the opportunity to face this kind of stretched situation. β
"That statement is exaggerated to a certain extent, but it is by no means excessive," said Roche, "and, indeed, for a reason! As you can see, we have made the castle look like a crystal palace as a sign of respect, but it will have to use a lot of lamps, both magic and ordinary ones." But you know what? Magic crystals are really expensive! No one can use magic lamps on a large scale as much as they like with wind lanterns - that, that's burning money! We burned it that night...... Well, not taking into account the magic lamps that swallow money, just ordinary candles, the consumption of which is ...... Oh, think of the splendor of the night, and you should estimate what a terrible amount it would be! And all this is just the cost of the lights...... All things considered, the statement that it took a month of fiscal revenue is really not too exaggerated. Alas, everything hurts me when I think about it, there is no need, who wants to be wronged?"
"Oh. Ye Guyun just replied nonchalantly, this attitude made Luo Qi helpless.
"Tell me about the bad ones?" asked Frank.
"That's a lot, and I think you'll hear some of it. Ye Guyun said.
"Crowded urban areas, high cost of living, high operating costs, lack of labor?" Rocchi asked.
"Also, there are no specialties, and manufacturing is almost none. Frank added.
"However, these are all objective factors, and the development of cities needs to be trade-offs. Roach sighed.
"Heh, these are just appearances, I think what I see is more profound. The corners of Ye Guyun's mouth curved into a sarcastic arc, and he was about to launch a poisonous tongue, "What I see is that the rulers lack vision, strategy, and means, and most of the citizens are lazy people. According to the established route, the city is like this, its prospect is fixed, and the end is seen at a glance. And the hope of going further? Sorry, didn't see it. β
"Don't be in a hurry to object," Ye Guyun stopped the two brothers who were about to have a seizure in anger, "I know what you think, you must think that Crescent City is developed enough and rich enough, and his citizens are all living and working in peace and contentment, this is a great city, and the ancestors of your family who have developed him to this point today are undoubtedly wise and wise ......."
The smile on Ye Guyun's face became more and more mysterious, like a devil, he stared at the two brothers and said, "But I want to say, it's really not like this. As long as you're not stupid, anyone sitting in that position will do a good job. Because of the superior innate conditions of Crescent City, it is determined that it will be an important transportation hub, and it can become rich just by collecting tolls, even if it is low. It's his talent, his foundation, his thick foundation. However, on this solid foundation, to this day, Crescent City is still only a transportation hub, and has not evolved into anything else, he could have been higher, but he has never been, except for money, he has lost everything, and even lost hope of further progress...... Therefore, 'lack of vision, lack of strategy, lack of means', I don't plan to change these words. β
The golden afterglow of the sunset became more and more intense, and Ye Guyun, who was standing in the backlight, could no longer let people see the look on his face, and he was looking at the two brothers who were gradually silent, and said with a smile: "Of course, from your point of view, or rather, from the perspective of this world, your family has always done a good job. But from my point of view, it's not enough. It is not enough to achieve your ambitions. Money alone will not create a megacity with all-round influence. β
"What else do you need?" asked Roch, eagerly.
"Super rich. Ye Guyun replied.
"......" The two brothers rolled their eyes.
"Don't think I'm playing tricks on you, in the future, the truth will make you understand," Ye Guyun said with a smile, "However, now is not the time to discuss this, we have to speed up our pace and find a suitable place to spend time before it gets completely dark." β
Although the two brothers were disturbed with complicated feelings, they were also open-minded people, and they put aside their troubles at the moment, no longer pondered those things, and let their minds "get back on track".
Roach asked, "Where do you want to go?" for recreation, the first few places I recommended were really good. β
"So you can only be a noble son. Ye Guyun complained.
"At least being a noble son can avoid accidents to the greatest extent. Well, I know you don't need to. Roch spread his hands and said, "Tell me, where do you want to go?"
Ye Guyun pinched his chin and thought seriously for a while, and said, "I need money, I want to make money, and I also want to have fun, so I made money by the way when I was ready for recreation." β
"How is this possible!" the two brothers screamed at the same time.
"How could it be. β
"Well, what are you going to do?" Rocchi said helplessly.
"You have a little money, don't you? Good, enough. We go to casinos, racetracks, or underground boxing rings and the like, which is not illegal and profitable, and that's all we can think of for the time being. β
"I see, you're going to go into battle yourself?" exclaimed Frank in surprise.
"Or else?"
"I don't understand why you suddenly remembered the money. "You are the most honored guest of the Ashron family, and in principle, we can easily meet all your needs." β
"No, that can't cost your money, absolutely not. Ye Guyun shook his head very resolutely.
"Why?"
"How can you use your money to buy a house, is it yours or mine?" Ye Guyun said, "I am not used to the lifestyle and rhythm of life in the castle, and I want to move out." I am going to buy a house, a big, quiet, beautiful mansion, preferably in a rich neighborhood, next to the big merchants, so that I can carry out the grand and vast evil plan of Saphius!hahahaha......"
"What to do, this guy is addicted to pretending to be the devil......" Roche asked his brother.
Frank replied, "It's better to be more lively now, than to be lifeless and perpetual before." β
β...... Don't think I can't hear it!"
After another period of searching, the three came to the end of an alley. Similar to the previous tavern, it is still a faΓ§ade and a signboard, except that the faΓ§ade is painted red and green, and the sign is marked with the words "Battlefield of Battle" in rounded font.
Maybe it's the time or the nature of the industry, but there is not a single pedestrian in sight in this not deep alley. Of course, the three of them didn't care about these things, and they walked over to the storefront.
"Fight the Battlefield...... I'm afraid this is it, although the name is straightforward and crude, but it expresses the connotation well. Luo Qi said to Ye Guyun.
"How do I have a bad premonition?" said Frank, frowning.
"Me too. Ye Guyun said, "But do you think we need to care?"
He shook his fist.
"Like...... No need to ......"
"So, let's go inside. β
Push the door in, andβ
"Oh my God!"
This is a room similar to the layout of a tavern, except that it is much larger than a normal tavern.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
On the large empty space on the left side of the middle, there were many square tables, and on many square tables stood a hot girl, who looked average, but wore heavy makeup, and wore very little, and the only few pieces of cloth that could not cover the organs were whisked with the twisting of their bodies, outlining the lines of anger, stirring the raging waves, and doing their best to provoke them. Obviously, they are ********. And these square tables were surrounded by obscene-looking men, who were clapping their hands insolently, laughing, shouting, and speaking unscrupulously, coldly, and fishy.
The farther one is quieter, but only quieter. There was the same square table, but two side by side to form a wide high bed, on which was a girl with **** and no wisps of heavy makeup. She lies on her back, twisting her plump body, sometimes curling, sometimes rolling, sometimes spinning, spreading her legs, joining her legs, pouting her hips, bending her waist, holding her chest up, scratching her head, or both, doing all kinds of difficult but seductive poses.
She was also surrounded by a group of men, some of them pretending to drink deeply, some of them were more impulsively panting, some of them touched their chins and smashed their mouths as if admiring a work of art, not so noisy, but this did not mean that they were noble, they just preferred to soothe their lust in this way. No, there was still one person in there who simply took off his pants and put his hands between his crotches and kept moving......
The circle against the wall is the quietest place here. There were old sofas that were well maintained, and the clothes of the people sitting on them were rarely intact. However, it is only complete, and at the same time, it must also be messy. The people sitting on it appear at least in pairs, one male and one female, and then the base number is constantly added. Most of them hugged each other tightly and were flirting "deeply". Some men buried their heads in the girl's breasts, greedily nibbling on a pair of exposed white peaches, some looked directly at each other affectionately, but one hand dug deep into the bushes between the crotch, and some directly pressed the other's head directly into the crotch - whether it was a man or a woman, and then let it swallow continuously......
The most intense part of the place is the curtain on the right-hand side. It's a cubicle, but I really don't know what it can isolate. The sound was not something that could be stopped by a curtain, and the heavy gasps and contrived cries from it resounded throughout the room, and the sight, a few steps away, could be seen in its entirety. The three who had just entered the door didn't even have to adjust their angle to see the hot scene in several compartments: it was a wriggling worm. One man carried two plump thighs on his shoulders, his eyes breathed fire, his waist shrugged sharply, and he kept digging deeply, while the other man held a round ******, his whole body tensed, screaming, and sprinting hard......
The battle is fierce!
So much so that the waitress who shuttled through the house was dressed in cool clothes and wantonly rubbed with oil and didn't mind, which should be quite eye-catching on other occasions, and it seemed so insignificant.
Understood, all understood.
It's a brothel, a low-end brothel that can only do the business of sailors and coolies, poor men with only one or two spare money!
"Haha! What a fighting battlefield!" Ye Guyun said with a strange smile, he pointed to a pair of meat worms in a compartment, "It turns out that it refers to this kind of 'fighting'!"
