Chapter 644: Public Opinion War (I)!
The news that the Northern Yan Kingdom was a vassal to the King of Qin suddenly spread all over the world on the tenth day of Chen Qing's trip to the north!
The news spread extremely quickly, and no matter how remote the place, even in the northland, surrounded by giant pythons, those northern people also received the news as soon as possible.
And this news came from the merchants of the Northern Wilderness -
"Big Tiger, is this really fake?"
In Beiyan City, a large group of people surrounded the merchant who had come from the Northern Wilderness and asked.
Now that the Northland is besieged by giant pythons, supplies and everything can only be purchased from the Northland, and before the chaos with the demons, it is completely reversed.
The Central Plains, which was once rich in materials, even if it is the dry and cold climate of the northern land, the material conditions are far from being comparable to the Northern Wilderness, the cotton planted here, the wrought iron created, the refined salt, the sugar and even some luxury goods transported by sea, the abundance of goods is not comparable to the Northern Wilderness at all.
Usually the Northern Wilderness is exchanged for medicinal herbs and some rare animal skins from the Arctic Lands, while the Northern Lands are the real food export places.
But now it's completely different, on the side of the Northern Wilderness, for some reason, there is a lot of more demon beast flesh and blood, and now the northern people need to rely on cotton and the like to exchange for food.
And in the last month, here in the north city, new goods have appeared.
"It's really warm jade, and wine, oh my God"
A group of men from the north looked at the jars that exuded a strong aroma of wine, one by one with red eyes and drooling!
There are almost no people in the north who are not good at drinking, because the weather is cold, and the amount of alcohol is not low, but since the snake disaster, they even need to rely on the merchants of the Northern Wilderness to import food, which is extremely unstable, and now there is little planting land, plus those terrible insect demons can take people's lives at any time, farming is planted with their lives, where do they dare to take valuable plants to make wine?
It's all about living day by day, and I never thought that one day I could smell wine.
"Big Tiger, this. Are these really from Jiangnan? ”
"Heh, what do you think?" The sturdy young man named Big Tiger looked proud, picked up a jar of wine and opened the lid of the wine, and instantly a strong and mellow aroma of wine made the people of the north swallow their saliva.
"Authentic blood ginseng wine, if you get these jars in the Northern Wilderness, you can exchange them for a big mansion."
"How did you get your hands on such a good thing?" A group of people drooled, their eyes were red, if it weren't for the fact that fighting was strictly forbidden in this Beiyan City now, some people would be ready to rob it.
Because it doesn't seem to be able to afford it anyway.
"Jiangnan got it, how else can I get it?" The big tiger rolled his eyes and said.
"Gangnam. How do you get to Gangnam? "Many Beimin are puzzled, now there are giant pythons devouring people everywhere outside, they rely on the black light rewarded by the Lord of the Dark Moon Sect in the city to barely avoid the pursuit of those terrible giant snakes, it is said that those merchants, are holding a black lamp, take their lives to buy goods outside, if you don't pay attention to it, the black light goes out, and it may become the food of the giant python in an instant.
If you say that it is okay to go to the nearby Beihuang to enter the goods, after all, it is said that there is a special messenger to shelter there, and there will be no attacks along the way, but over there in the south of the Yangtze River? How did you come back alive when you were so far away?
"Beihai City." Big Tiger grinned.
"Are you kidding me?" One of the big men said: "When I fled, the first city to be destroyed was Beihai City, those giant pythons are big enough to swallow the entire ship, not to mention that you can't get to Beihai City, even if you arrive, what do you take to cross the sea?" And with so much cargo? ”
"Said that you were locked up here, you don't know anything outside" Dahu smiled proudly, sighed and sat aside, a group of people heard it strangely, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Don't sell it, what's going on?" ”
"This matter, it's a long story, first of all, when the King of Qin in the south of the Yangtze River was killed in our north, he had already sent troops to save people, and he united with the Duke of Wei to save 100,000 of our compatriots in the north!"
"Really?"
"King Qin of Jiangnan? Is he so righteous? ”
"Isn't he a thief?"
"Ahh Dahu suddenly glared at the person who spoke just now: "Don't say this outside, now everyone in Jiangnan is doing better than the old men in the north, and everyone has offered His Royal Highness King Qin as a bodhisattva, if you go to Jiangnan and say this, you will definitely be beaten to death!" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, but then smiled bitterly: "Jiangnan. I'd like to wait."
A group of people reacted: "You really went to Jiangnan? ”
"Is that fake?"
"Can the pythons along the way?"
"Hey, let me tell you, now, Beihai City has been completely controlled by His Royal Highness King Qin, and it is very safe over there, as long as you get to Beihai City, there are soldiers escorting you along the way, absolutely safe!"
"Safety? Isn't there a giant snake in the sea? A man who had been a soldier was stunned.
He was a man who had escaped from the army, and he had run out of Beihai City in the first place, and he had seen with his own eyes how dangerous those giant snakes were in the water!
"It's really not there now" Dahu sighed: "I also thought it was strange at the beginning, I ran away with others, and then I found out what was going on, it was all Lord Wei Guogong"
Talking about the story that was circulating, Wei Guogong turned the dragon into an ice road, so that the big snake did not dare to approach there.
Everyone listened to the whole process and felt like they were listening to a mythical story.
But now there are demons everywhere, this kind of mythical story is not unusual, one by one when they finally heard that the blood of Wei Guogong was sprinkled in Beihai and turned into an ice road, just so that the people of Beihai could cross Beihai safely and flee to Jiangnan to avoid disaster, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
It turned out that Lord Wei never abandoned them, it turned out that they abandoned Wei Guogong.
The eyes of a group of men, especially those deserters, lowered their heads in shame.
"In other words, you can now go to Jiangnan through Beihai City?"
"Yes" Dahu nodded: "I came this time, I came to pick up my aunt and sister-in-law, but Jiangnan is now every inch of land, if you want to stay there, you can only go to the West Island Country to open up the wasteland through the escort of soldiers, it is said that you will also send fields and houses, I came to run this trip this time, one is to pick up my brother and sister-in-law, and the other is to see if I can take the risk to make a fortune, with more money, I can let my mother live in Jiangnan locally, and life must be more nourishing than going to the island." ”
After a pause, he said, "Well, it's better than staying here." ”
"Then we" All the Northlanders who heard the news were moved, if they could, who wanted to stay in this place where they could be eaten by snakes at any time?
Although it is difficult to leave their homeland, they have heard of the comfortable life in the land south of the Yangtze River countless times, even if it is not as good as the rumors, but just like the big tiger said, it is better than now.
"You guys." The big tiger looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid I may not be able to get out." ”
A group of people immediately reacted, yes, there were terrible snake demons everywhere outside, and only by getting the black light sent by the Lord of the Stygian Moon Sect could it be possible to barely travel.
Now in the city, every ten households share a black light, and no one can easily take it away, and if they want to leave en masse, will those mysterious Stygian Cultists agree to them?
Many people are suspecting that these ghostly disciples are in league with those snake demons, and although the current Beimin is obedient on the surface, they are extremely jealous in their hearts.
At this time, if it is said that they want to leave here collectively and go to Jiangnan to work hard, they . Will they be willing to let them go?
