Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Choice of Local Tyrants

Lu Yao overlooked Yancheng.

In a modest town, there are noticeably more people on the streets than in the past, and houses are constantly expanding. The low walls, which used to be loose, are now clinging to the houses.

Lu Yao clicked on the population column in the upper right corner.

Population: 23,215

In the details, the population of Yancheng is shown to be 3,005, nearly 700 more than a few days ago.

Because of the small base, fertility growth is unlikely to raise such a large number of people in a short period of time.

There is only one reason: the migration of outsiders.

The streets were everywhere: topless islanders, wild men with their hair dragged down to their waists, and some outsiders with feathers on their heads and mud and paint on their faces.

They seem to have only recently moved to Yancheng, and everything here is very new. Many people are looking left and right, and they are interacting with the local citizens.

Yancheng is a young city and relatively tolerant of outsiders. In particular, many of these outsiders bring their own special goods.

For example, colourful clay pots, feather-woven clothes or hats, rare animal bones, grotesque wood carvings, and precious stones.

These foreign goods were very attractive in Yancheng and were looted by merchants. Some of the immigrants came here, but became quite wealthy and generous.

Lu Yao noticed a villain wearing colorful feathers. The little man bought a lot of things and pulled a camel directly to sweep the goods in the shops and on the streets.

The top of the villain's head shows: [Chief] Doren Nunu.

Duolunnunu did not speak the language of Yaocheng, but this did not affect the life of a chief in the field.

He was accompanied by two henchmen wearing feathers and a local merchant. The merchant was gesturing to Dorununu to help him.

This translation merchant is none other than Shang Li.

In the face of foreign tyrants, Shangli is very diligent.

"Chief, the houses in Yancheng are so strong and beautiful. Buying just an ordinary house is really not in line with your noble status. ”

Chief Dorununu held his hands behind his back, and a garbled code appeared above his head.

Shang Li seemed to understand.

He continued to lobby: "Look ahead, that's the mayor's house, and it's also the best house in Yancheng. ”

An exclamation mark popped out of Dorununu's head.

It looks like he understands.

Seeing this, Shang Li hurriedly guided him and walked to a tall stone house next to the library.

"Chief, this is the mayor's mansion."

Duolununu looked up and down, and a bunch of gibberish appeared on his head.

Lu Yao glanced at it.

The Yulian dwellings are much larger than the surrounding houses, and the two stone houses are connected in front and back, like a small townhouse. To the left of the two houses is a small garden, and to the right is what looks like a stable.

There was a big black dog lying at the gate of the mayor's mansion, but it was not noisy or noisy, but just lazily lying on the ground.

After looking at the mayor's mansion, a smiling face appeared above the chief's head, and his mouth was whirling.

A light bulb lit up on Shang Li's head.

"Chief, the mayor's mansion is not for sale."

"It's the most honorable man in the city. How could it be sold to you like this, even if you were so honorable......"

"Really? Do you really have to buy it? ”

"Well, that's not impossible."

"Please wait, I'll go to the mayor to discuss!"

Shang Li rode a horse, quickly walked through the streets, and soon found the mayor Yulian by the lighthouse.

He chatted privately with Yulian for a while, and an exclamation mark appeared above Yulian's head.

Then the two rode all the way back.

"Chief, I have tried my best to persuade the mayor to give you this most luxurious and noble residence in Yancheng."

Shang Li said: "If you were someone else, you would not have been able to buy this one-of-a-kind house. The mayor also heard that you wanted it, so he couldn't bear to cut his love. ”

The smiley face symbol on Dolunnunu's head grew larger, and he spoke in dialect for a while.

"Do you want it now? Okay, okay. Shang Li said.

Soon, the chief's attendant brought a camel with two boxes on its back.

The servant took the box down and opened the lid to reveal the sparkling gems inside.

After paying the money, Duolunnu held his head high and walked into the No. 1 mansion in Yancheng.

The big black dog at the door, apparently unaware of the situation, yelled at the intruder.

Anger welled up in the chief's head.

Two of the attendants grabbed the dog and threw it out of the doorway.

The black dog was unemployed on the spot, lying at the feet of Mayor Yulian, with a question mark on his head.

A moment later, the attendant brought a substitute for the black dog from the street: two pheasants with bright feathers. They paced slowly, gracefully and restrainedly.

Yulian and Shangli left the mansion with a jewel box and a dog.

They skirted the street to a hidden corner.

"The third set was also successfully sold."

A smiley face symbol appeared on Shang Li's head: "The name of the mayor's mansion is really useful." ”

“……”

Mayor Yulian had a sighing expression on his head: "You have deceived the third chieftain like this, the last one is in the east, and the last one is in the north. They must have known that they had been fooled. ”

"How can this be called a lie? Mayor. ”

Shang Li defended: "It's indeed the mayor's mansion, and you did live in it for a few days, didn't you?" ”

"The hospital needs money, the library needs money, the road needs money, the fence costs money, the mayor also needs money for the school of architecture that you have in mind. This money is used to do these things. ”

Yulian said, "Okay. You do know how to make money. ”

"It's a businessman's job, mayor." Shang Li said.

Lu Yao looked at it and called it a good guy.

The mayor personally brings the real estate goods, right?

At this time, Lu Yao also saw it.

The large number of people who have poured into Yancheng are basically immigrants.

A significant number of immigrants came from the city of Yaocheng next door.

Yaocheng used food and materials to attack and export faith and culture to the outside world on a large scale, attracting many islanders, savages and mountain people. Among them are leaders like Dorununu.

After eating big fish and meat, it is difficult to eat bran vegetables again.

Especially the wealthy strata of these indigenous people. They immigrated to the big city of Yaocheng and lived on the property they had brought with them.

Soon these people found out that Yaocheng was not the best place.

Yancheng to the west is a paradise for the rich.

Prayer and recitation of the Gospel were not mandatory, and animal fighting and drunkenness were not forbidden. Yancheng has clean and beautiful streets and houses, abundant goods, and few restrictions on people.

As a result, some wealthy immigrants came to Yancheng.

As a result, Yancheng sat back and enjoyed its success, indirectly robbing the wealthy foreign population brought by Yaocheng's mission.

However, because Yaocheng has the only school [Theological Seminary]. Therefore, the foreign aborigines usually studied in the seminary for a while, learning the local language and basic knowledge, which indirectly expanded the influence of Yaocheng.

Lu Yao's eyes went back and forth between the two cities.

He found something interesting.

Whether they like it or not, the two cities are working together in one way or another.

Through its strong cultural output, Yaocheng continues to spread the belief and theological consciousness of the gods. They spared no effort to promote it, which greatly influenced the understanding of indigenous people everywhere, and they couldn't help but come to the city to observe.

However, with its open and inclusive characteristics, Yancheng firmly attracted this group of outsiders and allowed them to migrate and settle down in order to enjoy a better environment and a relaxed life.

On the other hand, Yancheng was unable to digest a large number of foreign commodities independently, so it increased trade and exchanges with Yaocheng, and the disguised feedback activated the economy of the two cities.

Lu Yao muttered in his heart.

What is it called?

Beggar version of Yao YC city group?

Lu Yao remembered a forgotten place.

He switched perspectives and moved to the south, which he hadn't paid attention to for a long time.

Seeing Saniro's condition, Lu Yao was confused.

What's going on?

In the city of Saniro, there is now a [sandworm] infested, and these sandworms are swaggering and walking around the streets.

Monsters attacking?

Lu Yao saw that the city wall was not broken.

He looked closer.

How are these sandworms digging ditches?

Lu Yao observed for a while before he was sure that he had guessed correctly.

Saniro learns to harness the otherworldly monster of the sandworm.

This is a silent and big job.
