96 The people eat for heaven
"The main source of income for our Iron City now is to build all kinds of iron tools and farm tools."
"Then, through the caravans that come and go, these commodities will be trafficked south to the Sixteen Cities of Yanyun outside Yunmeng Mountain, and sold with Nanyun Kingdom."
"We have to exchange the gold and silver that can be sold from the south of them for a large amount of daily necessities."
"For example, all kinds of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as clothes and fabrics, etc., ......"
"So over the years, the development speed of the iron city has not been very fast, and the population growth has been a little weak..."
Gao Peng briefly introduced the situation of Iron City to Yang Yinuan, and Yang Yinuan also nodded.
In fact, when he came, he had already guessed what Gao Peng meant by inviting him to dinner.
He estimated that the castle owner should want to start a business cooperation with him.
And now that he is chatting with the other party like this, he feels that his guess should be eight or nine and ten.
At present, the two sides are in the stage of testing each other, and Gao Peng briefly introduced some of the situation in Gaojiabao.
Then it's time to talk about which direction to start if you cooperate!
"By the way, Yang Xiaoyou, where are you immortal?"
Sure enough, they introduced themselves, and it was your turn next!
"Ahh My hometown is in the East China Sea Xianyou......"
"Huh? East China Sea? Xianyou? ”
Yang Yinuan casually made up a place name, and the Gao family father and son had heard of it.
In their concept, the farthest to the south is Nanyun Kingdom, and the farthest west is Emma City in the West Tianshan Mountains.
To the East......
They were already at the easternmost pole of the continent, and in fact, they had crossed the Iron Mountain to the north of their city, and to the north were endless ice fields.
The Iron Mountain is a circular mountain range, and when you cross the Iron Mountain on the east side, it is the endless sea.
The nautical technology of this era, that was almost a blank, so except for a few small fishing villages by the sea.
In this era, people can be said to be ignorant of the situation overseas.
Then Yang Yinuan made up some information about his hometown 'Xianyou', such as a large island in the Far East.
The island is very large and has a population of millions, and the island is extremely prosperous......
After listening to his description, the father and son of the Gao family grew up with a stunned expression.
There are a lot of nouns that pop out of Yang Yinuan's mouth, and they don't know what they are.
But the fact that there are millions of people on that island alone makes them stupid.
They have developed to the present day, and the surrounding villages are 70,000 or 80,000 people in total.
Over there, the sixteen cities of Yanyun outside Yunmeng Mountain add up to a population of five or six hundred thousand.
Even in the prosperous Nanyun Kingdom, it would be nice to have a million people in the dozens of cities in the entire country.
But this Mr. Yang's hometown, Xianyou City on Changxian Island, has five or six million people?
And you can still listen to live in a building dozens of stories high, what kind of place does it have to be?
I'm afraid it's not where the gods live, right?
Listening to Yang Yinuan's description, the father and son of the Gao family couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and launched an infinite reverie.
Even with the eyes that looked at Yang Yinuan at this time, they began to become awe and admiration.
With the knowledge of people in this era, if you haven't really seen such a place, you will definitely not be able to imagine such a paradise-like place!
So although the two of them were a little skeptical of Yang Yinuan's description, they still believed most of them.
“…… This time, I came to visit the Iron City, on the one hand, I want to see the local development, and on the other hand, I want to see if I can find any suitable development projects in the local area..."
finally went back to the topic, and when they heard Yang Yinuan say this, the Gao family's father and son were all dazzled.
"Oh? I don't know Brother Yang, have you found any suitable development projects? ”
"Well, I see that on our Handa grassland, there are herds of cattle and sheep, and there are countless pheasants and ducks, but why, the people of our Iron City are not very keen to go out to hunt?"
Yang Yinuan's eyes rolled and asked his own question.
In fact, Yang Yinuan has been in and out of this Handa grassland a few times recently, and to be honest, he is more and more surprised the more he walks on this grassland.
Because this grassland is really rich and beautiful!
The endless prairie, during which there are also large rivers interoperating, it stands to reason that it is very easy to develop in this grassland!
But this iron city only controls a corner of the northeast corner of the grassland, and it doesn't seem to have any intention of going out to expand.
He felt very strange about such a situation.
At this time, the father and son of the Gao family looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of embarrassment.
"Brother Yang, you don't know a little bit, but it's not that we don't want to go out to explore the grassland."
"There are too many dangers on this grassland......"
At this time, Gao Xin explained to Yang Yinuan with a little embarrassment, and Yang Yinuan paused slightly: "Brother Gao, are you talking about those fierce beasts that haunt the grassland?" ”
"That's not it, it's a strongman tribe that is more dangerous than beasts!"
"Strongman tribes?"
Yang Yinuan was stunned again, Gao Xin nodded, and then told him the origin of this strongman clan.
As soon as Yang Yinuan heard it, he roughly understood, isn't this the steppe nomad he used to be in that world?
And the living habits are very similar, like to be nomadic everywhere, and when life is difficult in winter, they also like to raid everywhere.
Previously, Tiecheng had several experiences of external expansion, but unfortunately they were all because of encounters with strongman tribes, conflicts, and finally being blocked.
The conquest between the two sides has been going on for hundreds of years, and almost every few years, a battle has to be fought.
Because of this, they have not been able to develop the Handa grassland too deeply.
Of course, this is mainly due to the lack of productivity!
Yang Yinuan nodded: "Well, I see." It's a pity that I thought before that if we could expand some pastures and domesticate some cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, then we would have cooperation..."
"Huh? At this point, Brother Yang, you don't have to worry. Our Gao family's iron city has been developed for so many years, and it is not in vain. ”
Gao Xin suddenly came to his senses again at this time and introduced Yang Yinuan.
It turns out that the Gao family's family background is far more than just Gaojiabao in the Iron City.
They also have an Iron Mountain mine to the north outside of the Iron City, and next to the mine, there is also a large ranch.
There are not only a lot of war horses in it, but also a large number of cattle and sheep that they caught from the grassland, which are domesticated.
As soon as he heard this, Yang Yinuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's okay now, now we have the basis for cooperation!" ”
"Oh? I don't know Brother Yang, what do you want to do? ”
"Haha, of course, it is to expand the aquaculture industry, and then engage in a large-scale food processing industry!"
"Huh? Food processing? ”
The father and son of the Gao family were stunned when they heard this, while Yang Yinuan laughed: "That's right, the so-called people take food as the sky..."
