Because of the darkness in the sky, the territory of the human race is mostly big cities, and some legendary cities can reach tens of millions of people, such as the ancient city of Loulan has a huge number of 50 million, and some corresponding small deserted villages may have less than 500 people.

The reason for this is actually quite simple.

Black.

In addition to the usual basic materials such as dirt and stones, all materials are subject to corrosion.

If you want to build a giant city, in this transcendent world, it is difficult to rely on earth and stone alone.

A giant city built of earth and stone may be able to explode with one punch by a Destiny Wheel Realm monk, and there is no defense at all.

Therefore, the city walls are mostly protected by large arrays, and most of them are built with supernatural metals doped with earth and stone, and some infrastructure is also like this.

Back to the original question.

The black evil is constantly corroding, and the city must not only be built, but also maintained, which is a big expense.

So the more prosperous the city, the bigger it is.

The larger the number of people, the smaller the cost of basic maintenance to everyone.

The deserted village is a different picture.

First of all.

The deserted village environment is dangerous, and this dangerous environment means that the ordinary city walls are ineffective, and it also means that they need more time to harvest the materials for their own survival.

Therefore, only the high-rise of the deserted village can have private property and build their own stone houses.

The best of the deserted villages may be annexed left and right on the basis of the deserted villages, forming large villages and large gathering places, and developing into small cities.

This process requires not only materials, but also strong people.

At the end of the day, this is a world where power comes to itself.

Regarding the development of deserted villages, Weizhuang Village is a best example, the last time Wei Long went back, many earthen houses in Weizhuang Village were replaced with stone houses.

Due to the food crops from Damu Village, there is a relatively stable source of food, and the population has increased, and the villagers of Weizhuang Village have surplus materials and have free time to build their own villages.

Otherwise.

In an environment of precariousness, the means of production are very scarce, and it is impossible to build if you want to.

"I found that in addition to our Guhua Chamber of Commerce, there are some other forces that are 'funding' these deserted villages. Zhang Zixin took out a document from the room.

Wei Long was a little surprised.

He had already discovered that the dynastic regime of this world was not very qualified, perhaps because this was the reason for the transcendent world, and all problems could be solved by cultivating strong people.

Generally speaking, most of the energy of the Town Wasteland Division is spent looking for the geniuses in the deserted village, cultivating them, and finally guarding the deserted village.

Rather than changing the ecology of the entire Terran deserted village.

There is no benefit in doing business in a deserted village, and few people do business.

And most of the strong people who came out of the deserted villages directly relocated the people of a village and built a city, rather than changing the deserted village.

However, the meaning of the deserted village is to give the great wilderness the fire of human civilization.

All gone, and the unknowable place will only expand, not even the walls of steel.

In fact, Wei Long's thinking is different from ordinary people, "Isn't this a loss-making business?

"Yes, there are some of them, they don't have much power, but some of them have been holding out for hundreds of years. Zhang Zixin's expression was a little wrong.

Wei Long calmed down when he heard that it had been hundreds of years, and asked, "How long has it been, have they found any way to make a profit?"

"No, we have found a total of four such forces now. ”

Zhang Zixin said truthfully: "After our secret investigation, they secretly collected the blood of some villagers, and even took away some children whose fathers died in the wild beast in the name of adoption......"

Wei Long took the information collected by Zhang Zixin, and the latter continued: "I still want to find out the supporters behind them before telling you. I don't think this matter is simple, some of the deserted villages that have been 'funded' by them will be strong for the time being, but if it is traced back to a hundred years later, some of the deserted villages will either be merged or encounter other accidents. ”

Wei Long was silent after reading the information collected by Zhang Zixin.

No one knows the deserted village better than him, and once his father dies in an accident, many mothers will remarry, and some children will be cared for, and some will not be approved by the man whose mother remarries.

If the village is strong, the child will be raised to adulthood.

The strength of the village is poor, and those children who have no father will only fend for themselves.

It's brutal.

But this is a deserted village.

It's never gentle, it's even scary.

In that kind of deserted village, which can be said to be isolated from the world, it is not surprising that nothing happens, if it were not for the supervision of the town wasteland division, the dynasty has always maintained control over the deserted village, and many things are even more excessive.

People in deserted villages are very miserable.

The deserted village is tough.

It's hard for everyone to be alive.

But there is no conflict between all this and the deserted village after the hardship and hardship, there is still darkness and no conflict.

"If those children are adopted, that's a good thing. Wei Long sighed after reading the information.

As for those deserted villages that decayed after receiving funding, he didn't pay attention to them, there were countless risks in the deserted villages, and sometimes prosperity and sometimes decline were the norm. Battle

"What suspicions do you have about them?" Wei Long asked Zhang Zixin.

Zhang Zixin thought for a while, "I just smelled a hint of conspiracy, they did some strange things, not only in deserted villages, but also in some remote small towns. No one cares about those places at all, and even the Shohari Division is just going through the motions, and no one knows what exactly they did. ”

"That's a black box. No one can see what is going on inside. ”

Zhang Zixin said: "After our chamber of commerce grows, you and I know the price paid by merchants in a deserted village, it is a big hole, this kind of thing that is not beneficial, I don't think anyone will do it for a long time." ”

"Do you think I'm special?" Wei Long smiled, feeling that Zhang Zixin was thinking a little too much.

"You are special, you are a true genius, a peerless genius. ”

Zhang Zixin was very serious, "I didn't really approve of you doing business in a deserted village at the beginning, but recently I gradually understood. Maybe we lost in business, but from the perspective of Dongtian, the control of the edge of the Southern Wilderness even rose to the level of the human race, slowly improving the quality of ordinary people, and we earned. ”

"Only by continuously improving the quality of deserted villages, more children can have enough to eat, can have a childhood to talk about, and more geniuses can emerge. ”

"But geniuses like you, senior brother, are only a few. Zhang Zixin has one thing to say.

"Recently, our chamber of commerce also did a survey on deserted villages, and less than half of the children can successfully live to adulthood, and as for the geniuses among them, even less. And the sky can grow smoothly, this number is less. ”

"Unless you look so far as you do, Senior Brother, you are willing to gradually improve the quality of the deserted village, and then slowly improve the quality of the entire human race. And the other forces, they do it so thanklessly, I can't think of a reason. Zhang Zixin analyzed.

Wei Long thought for a moment.

Truly.

To tell the truth, there are really very few geniuses like Wei Long.

It's not just talent, but also vision and pattern.

There are very few people who can grow smoothly in the wilderness, let alone geniuses.

Wei Tianhu is already the ceiling of the genius of the Great Wilderness.

"Let's look it up again. Wei Long believes in Zhang Zixin's judgment, which is the trust of years of cooperation.

Wei Long then had another exchange with Zhang Zixin, mainly to stimulate Zhang Zixin's potential and help him touch the threshold of Jindan to break through the original bottleneck.

To put it bluntly, it's all kinds of feeding tricks.

South and North Land, the upper half of Xing'an County, Windy City, Liyulou.

Liyulou is an old force in Fengcheng, engaged in the medicine and wine business, in Fengcheng, and even half of Xing'an County has a good reputation, has been inherited for more than 200 years.

Its main 'pear blossom with rain wine' is even more famous in the southern wilderness.

Many strong people, old monsters who have lived for many years, are emotionally dull, but after drinking this wine, they will have a feeling of pear blossoms pressing begonias.

Don't think about your first love.

Something beautiful and memorable comes to mind.

Because of this, Liyulou has extremely wide connections, although the landlord is only a strong person in the Jindan realm, but it is exquisite, even if the city lord of Fengcheng has to give her three thin noodles.

Antique, green bricks and green tiles, flowers bloom in the attic garden, and even the air seems to be filled with a faint fragrance of wine, which makes people involuntarily relax.

This is the headquarters of Liyulou.

A basement that is not too gloomy.

An unknown oil lamp was lit, illuminating the room as warm as day, and although the whole basement did not see sunlight, it was not gloomy.

Flower pillows, small beds. On the side of the bed, a little boy carved in pink was riding a small wooden horse, and his little fat hands like lotus roots were a little weak, but they were still swaying.

"Babble. When the little boy heard the sound of the door opening, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran down from the small wooden horse.

I was a little anxious and fell directly.

But he didn't cry, but stood up neatly, and swayed to the woman who entered the door, "Auntie...... Auntie, Dad...... Mommy ......"

The little boy still spoke a little unfavorably, but the words were very clear.

The woman who entered the door was not very beautiful, but she was very attractive, without powder, but with a tactful and lovely atmosphere.

Smiled and picked up the little boy, "Aren't you having fun here, don't you want Aunt Bai Hui, Auntie is so sad......"

Bai Hui's tone was very soft, and it seemed to contain inexplicable grievances, influencing the little boy with strange power.

"I want a lot of father, I want mother....." The little boy seemed to be extremely attached to the woman, and a trace of struggle flashed in his little eyes, and finally he still wanted his father and mother.

"Wang Duoduo is disobedient!" Bai Hui held the little boy's hand slightly, and a small white sugar cube appeared on her fingertips and stuffed it into Wang Duoduo's mouth, "Eat more sugar." ”

"Duoduo behave, Duoduo go play by yourself. Bai Hui's hand gently patted Wang Duoduo's back.

Wang Duoduo looked at Aunt Bai Hui's familiar and warm face, ate and smiled, shouted candy cubes in his mouth, let out a vague cheer, clapped his fat hands and climbed to the small bed, picked up a little doll, and played happily again.

"The landlord. Bai Hui walked out of the room, and a disciple stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully and said, "The Ming God Son is here." ”

"Let that pervert wait. ”

Bai Hui sneered, his face was not as kind as before, and he looked cold, "I don't accept children over the age of four here, I want to send Wang Duoduo to me! He wants to use this to coerce the Wang family to get a piece of the pie from that mine, but he still wants to catch us! Break the rules!"

Walking out the door is the hallway, there are many rooms on both sides of the hallway, and in these rooms there are some small windows that allow you to see inside from the outside.

There were many young children in it, mostly about two years old, both male and female, but they were not treated as well as Wang Duoduo, and a dozen of them were crowded together, as if they had fallen into a coma.

As Bai Hui walked by, his fingertips were full of strangeness, as if there were invisible droplets of water falling.

This is her special miracle, called 'Pear Blossom Rain'.

It was obtained from the previous landlord and her master's personal inheritance, which was used for charm, and those children, some of whom were about to wake up, fell into sweet dreams again.
