On the square, after Gu Bei looked at the goods brought by Western merchants, he was not interested in those treasures, but was a little interested in those magic weapons.

Many of these magic weapons are one-time use, and they are very powerful, and if the city guards can be equipped, it will be easier to fight others.

Angel is very interested in the Warcraft and Demon Core in Thorn City, these things are very popular in the Western Continent, and the price is much higher than that sold in the Eastern Continent.

In addition to Warcraft, there are also high-quality cotton, porcelain, tea, and so on from Thorn City, all of which can be traded.

Both parties had what they needed, it was an instant hit, and the first deal went smoothly.

Of course, Ingres had come all the way, and this little thing in Thorn City couldn't satisfy his appetite.

After trading with Gu Bei, he found the Jinhe Trading Bank, traded enough goods in the Jinhe Trading Bank, and then brought them back to the Western Continent for sale, making huge profits from them.

This transaction seemed to be just an ordinary transaction, however, it opened the beginning of the trade between Thorn City and the Western Continent.

Since then, the merchants of the Western Continent have known that there is such a place as Thorn City, and even if West Sea City returns to normal, there will be people who will come to Thorn City to trade.

After the transaction, Gu Bei did not return to the City Lord's Mansion, but stayed by the small river outside Thorn City for a long time, looking at the water and being distracted.

Ye Wei waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Your Royal Highness, what are you looking at?" ”

Gu Bei turned his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, part of our fiefdom in Thorn City is by the sea. ”

Ye Wei nodded and said, "That's right, our Thorn City is less than sixty miles away from the sea, but the location of that coast is not good, it is full of cliffs and cliffs, and there is not a single flat beach. ”

Gu Bei pointed to the small river and said, "If we can transform the coast into a flat beach, can we dry the salt?" ”

Salt is a necessity, but Thorn City has always relied on other places to buy it, if you can dry salt yourself, not only can you increase the income of Thorn City, but it will no longer be easily stuck.

"Dare to think about it, if we renovate a suitable bay so that big ships can berth, will it be more convenient for us to trade with the West in the future?"

In fact, most of the Western merchants did not come by flying machine, but by boat.

The reason is simple, it is a matter of cost and loading volume.

The cost of water transportation is far less than that of air transportation, and the loading capacity of large ships is far greater than that of large aircraft.

Ordinary cargo, if it is transported by aircraft, its cost is very staggering, it should be that the aircraft needs to consume spirit stones or magic crystals, while the ship only needs to rely on wind power and manpower.

Xihai City has the closest shipping lanes to the western continent, bays with gentle currents, and large flat bays.

Because of this, it will become a transit point for goods from the East and the West, bringing huge profits to the second prince every year.

If Thorn City can also transform that coast and give some tariff preferences to Western merchants, then there will definitely be Western merchants willing to trade in Thorn City.

After listening to Gu Bei's words, Ye Wei only felt that his eyes lit up, if it was really like what Gu Bei said, the poor and backward Thorn City would become even better, and even become a prosperous city.

However, she quickly thought of a question: "Your Highness, renovating the coast, this is an extremely large project, right?" It took countless people to recruit and spend many years to complete it. ”

What Ye Wei could think of, Gu Bei could naturally think of.

He smiled and said, "If from the perspective of ordinary people, this is indeed the case, this project not only cannot bring benefits to Thorn City, but it is also a typical waste of labor and money, and in the end, it may be abandoned halfway, and I, the prince, will also be infamy." ”

"But what if we let cultivators who have the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas do this?"

Gu Bei held up a finger and said, "It only takes a day, or even half a day, for this huge project to be transformed." ”

"Shift...... Moving mountains and reclamation ......"

Ye Wei was dumbfounded and said, "This is a fairy method, right?" ”

Even if he was a ninth-order powerhouse, maybe he could split a mountain with a single sword, but it was obviously not an easy task to let him transform a large area of coast.

Gu Bei smiled: "It's a fairy method!" ”

Ye Wei asked puzzledly, "But, where can we go to find such an immortal?" ”

Gu Bei smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, the immortal will definitely be able to find it, it depends on whether he is willing to help us." ”

Ye Wei couldn't think of where Gu Bei could go to invite immortals, but she knew that Gu Bei would definitely not lie to her for no reason.

Could it be that it was the master who sent the Wind Winged Snake to take Gu Bei away in the mysterious forest?

Ye Wei made all kinds of guesses in his heart, and finally thought that the most likely place to live in the immortals was the mysterious forest.

However, she didn't know that the immortals Gu Bei was talking about were watching the gate in the scenic spot outside Thorn City.

Uncle Long's true body, only Gu Bei could see through it, and he didn't tell anyone this secret.

Ye Wei naturally didn't know that in fact, there was a great god living in Thorn City.

"Let's go, go back."

After Gu Bei figured it out, he immediately got up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and walked towards the Shenlong Ruins Scenic Area.

Ye Wei followed behind, still puzzled, but she had a big heart, since she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't want to think about it soon, anyway, it wasn't for her to worry about.

Gu Bei walked all the way to the new city, which was already much more lively than before, there were all kinds of shops, ordinary people and cultivators, and the Shenlong Inn was even more prosperous.

But the popularity of the Shenlong Ruins Scenic Area has fallen to a low point, and it is very calm here, Gu Bei wondered if he would simply give the ticket free in the future, and he wouldn't be able to collect much money anyway.

Gu Bei took Ye Wei away temporarily, and then went to see Uncle Long alone.

"Uncle Long, are you still satisfied with the tea I asked someone to send you a few days ago?"

Gu Bei walked to the gate of the scenic spot and asked Uncle Long with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, make do with it."

Uncle Long, what good things haven't you seen? Ordinary good tea is nothing in his eyes.

Gu Bei said with a smile: "Next time, I will ask someone to go to the mysterious forest to pick a better spiritual tea and send it to you." ”

Uncle Long looked at the smile on Gu Bei's face, suddenly touched the dragon whisker on his chin, and said, "Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief, boy, what are you thinking?" ”

"I don't care about you, how dare I fight your idea?"

"No, no...... There must be something wrong with you kid, Uncle Long, I have lived a long time, if I can't even see the tricks of your little fox, isn't it in vain? ”

Uncle Long firmly thought that Gu Bei must have something to hide from him, but he didn't care too much, with his strength, he was not afraid of calculations at all in this mundane world.

"Tell me, do you kid have something to ask me for?"

Uncle Long held the small teapot with one hand and looked at Gu Bei while drinking, wondering what tricks he was playing.

"Uncle Long, this ...... There's a little bit of trouble I want to bother you. "Gu Bei doesn't plan to hide it, in the face of a big guy of this level, it's better to be honest.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Uncle Long eats and drinks well here every day, and he doesn't do any work, which can be regarded as inheriting Gu Bei's affection, if Gu Bei begs him for some trivial things, he will not refuse.

After all, Uncle Long is a principled dragon, and he must pay it back if he owes favors.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's just ...... I just want to ask your old man to help transform the coast ......"

Gu Bei told Uncle Long about his idea.

"What? You kid want me to be a coolie to dig you a stone? No way! ”

Uncle Long refused without thinking about it, what kind of identity is he, how can he do such a thing?

"Uncle Long, don't worry......"

"Bang!"

Before Gu Bei's words were finished, Uncle Long had already closed the door and didn't give him a chance to continue talking.

"Lao Tzu dignified Shenlong, go and dig rocks for you, you kid can figure it out......"

Gu Bei listened to Uncle Long's scolding inside, and in desperation, he could only leave temporarily.

However, he is not a person who gives up easily.

The transformation of Thorn City Beach is of great significance, if the transformation is successful, Thorn City's economic resources will be more extensive, and even in the future, it can build a fleet to go to sea and go to the Western Continent to trade.

It is unrealistic to rely on the power of ordinary people to transform the beach, not to mention the cost of labor and money, the time for transformation will be very long, and Gu Bei can't wait that long.

Therefore, he must find a way to persuade Uncle Long to make a move, and with Uncle Long's strength, it will not take long to transform a coast.

Gu Bei did not return to the City Lord's Mansion, but temporarily stayed at the Shenlong Inn.

At noon the next day, he personally carried the food box to the gate of the scenic spot.

"Uncle Long, come and try the dishes I personally prepared for you."

Uncle Long's face was not very good, but he didn't refuse, and watched Gu Bei diligently bring out the dishes one by one.

"This dish is called braised lion's head, I asked the cook to make it with fourth-order demon beast meat, and it took a lot of time to make this dish."

"You taste it."

Uncle Long glanced at the plate, and saw seven round, ruddy and shiny big balls, decorated with some green vegetables, fragrant, just looking at it made people appetizing.

Uncle Long picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a braised lion's head, and put it in his mouth, only to feel that the meat was very rich, the soup was also very sweet, and the taste was surprisingly good.

Of course, Uncle Long knew that the reason why Gu Bei spent his heart and mind to make these delicacies was to let him do coolies, so he didn't say a good word.

Gu Bei was not discouraged, and brought out another dish: "You can try this dish again, braised pork, which is also made with the meat of a fourth-order demon beast." ”

Uncle Long also used chopsticks to clip a piece, and after putting it in his mouth, he only felt soft but not rotten, fat but not greasy, and the meat was fragrant.

Gu Bei took out three other dishes and let Uncle Long taste them one by one.

In his previous life, Gu Bei was a foodie, and he put a lot of effort into eating, but after coming to Thorn City, he was still picky about eating.

He found that although there are many dishes in this world, some famous dishes in his previous life are not available in this world.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Shenlong Inn, he instructed the chef to make the food in his memory, because the ingredients were different, and the effect was not good at the beginning.

After a long period of continuous attempts, finally, the chef of the Shenlong Inn made some of the delicacies in Gu Bei's memory, and because he used demon beast meat, in terms of taste, it was better than what he had eaten in his previous life.

Although Uncle Long has lived a long time and has eaten a lot of good things, he is still greedy, and when he encounters delicious food, the resistance in his heart has melted a lot.

Of course, until these dishes were finished, he didn't promise Gu Bei.

Gu Bei didn't expect Uncle Long to change his mind in one day, he chatted with him while watching Uncle Long eat, and never mentioned the matter of transforming the coast.

On the second and third days, Gu Bei changed his tricks to cook food for Uncle Long to eat and chat with him.

What is the most feared thing for an elderly person, especially an elderly person who has lost a loved one? Lonely!

Even if Uncle Long lived for a long time and his cultivation was very high, in some ways, he was lonely.

Therefore, Gu Bei's actions gradually made Uncle Long feel some warmth, and his attitude was not as tough as before.

On the first day, Gu Bei accompanied Uncle Long to eat as usual, and after chatting, he packed up his things and said, "Uncle Long, I'll go back first." ”

"Wait!"

Uncle Long didn't let Gu Bei go back as usual, but stopped him.

"Uncle Long, is there anything else?" Gu Bei was slightly excited in his heart, he knew that something might be done.

Uncle Long looked at Gu Bei and said, "Is the coast really so important to you?" ”

Gu Bei was stunned, and then nodded affirmatively: "Important, the reason why Thorn City is so poor is that the conditions are too poor, if the coast is renovated, even if I leave here in the future, the people here will not be as poor as before." ”

Uncle Long nodded and said, "Once other people are in a high position, they all treat ordinary people as ants, and it's not bad that you kid can still think about ordinary people." ”

Uncle Long pondered for a moment and said, "I can help you transform the coast, but only this once, don't look for me for this kind of thing in the future." ”

"I thank Uncle Long for the people of Thorn City!"

Gu Beida was overjoyed, as for what Uncle Long said, "only this once", he didn't hear it.

With the first time, there will be countless times in the future!

"Okay, okay, tonight, you come here to me, remember, come alone, I don't want to be seen when I cast a spell."

"Uncle Long, don't worry, I will definitely come alone!"

Gu Bei happily walked back with the food box, his efforts for so many days were finally not in vain.

From another point of view, Uncle Long's heart is actually very good, his cultivation is so high, but he has not become indifferent and ruthless.

That night, after midnight, Gu Bei came to the Shenlong Ruins Scenic Area alone, and he tried to avoid people along the way, with his fifth-order cultivation, it would not be a problem to avoid ordinary people and low-level cultivators.

"Let's go."

Uncle Long waved his sleeves and flew up with Gu Bei, obviously skimming through the air, but no one saw them, as if they didn't exist.

After coming to the coast, Uncle Long asked Gu Bei how he wanted to transform it, and then set up a large array to envelop this coast, no matter what happened inside, no movement would be heard outside.

Subsequently, Uncle Long began to use immortal means to move mountains and reclaim the sea and transform this coast.

"Boom ......"

I saw that Uncle Long waved his hand, and the divine light was ten thousand ways, and the cliffs and cliffs on the coast were bound, rising from the ground, filling the nearby treacherous ravines.

The reef at the bottom of the sea has been bulldozed to create a bay that can be safely entered by boats.

With Uncle Long's spell, this coast quickly changed its appearance, from a treacherous coast to a bay suitable for drying salt and mooring large ships.

It took less than a stick of incense before and after, and this kind of immortal method made Gu Bei dizzy.

After everything was over, Uncle Long collected the mana, dispersed the big array, and returned to Thorn City with Gu Bei, and continued to sleep in the small house at the entrance of the scenic spot, as if nothing had happened.
