Chapter 159: The Ideal Place (I)
On the bank of the Tongtian River, Yang Mingyuan led a girl with a blue face and fangs, which was a little conspicuous in the crowd of people who dragged her family.
Ever since the opening of the Tongtian River, mortals have begun to come here through the Golden Road.
Yang Mingyuan's father and daughter were dusty, but they looked far more energetic than the yellow-skinned, thin-skinned and ragged crowd around them.
They were waiting in line for the ferry from the Kingdom of All Souls.
The morning mist had not yet cleared, and a huge black shadow appeared on the surface of the river.
"Father, what's that?"
The girl asked softly.
"That's the ferry. ”
Yang Mingyuan saw it more clearly than everyone else.
The huge monster in the fog gradually revealed its true form, and the white ferry boat broke through the waves.
One and the other, two ferries docked in an orderly manner at the newly built port.
"Get on board!"
The youkai on the ferry shouted to get on board, and all mortals on horseback or on foot were treated equally.
For Yang Mingyuan's father and daughter, they just glanced at it and stopped asking.
"Father, they are not afraid of me. ”
The girl was a little happy.
"Hmm. ”
Yang Mingyuan nodded, and he boarded the ferry with the flow of people.
The ferry began to leave the port when it was fully loaded, and the white sails were raised high, breaking the waves without much turbulence.
The skill of the design and construction of this ferry was so superb that Yang Mingyuan was very surprised.
He looked across the bank, and after the sun had cleared the fog, the vast river of Tongtian was still far from the horizon.
Halfway through the ferry, a heavy shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and Yang Mingyuan heard the screams of his daughter and others.
He looked up, and suddenly he couldn't even hold his breath.
A huge ship, ten times larger than the ferry, spread its sails and flew over them.
The sunlight shone down on the hull of the ship, falling on the countless runes, reflecting a brilliant golden light.
What a majestic and beautiful ship this is.
"That's the floating boat in Huaguo Mountain. ”
The youkai on the ferry explained, "There are humans and youkai who have migrated from Huaguo Mountain. ”
"Float boat?"
Yang Mingyuan watched the floating boat gradually fly away, and his heart was shocked.
He had long heard of Huaguo Mountain's advanced technology, but he didn't expect them to be able to create such an incredible spiritual object.
Unfortunately, they were not qualified to fly on that floating ship.
After the ferry docked, the crowd was immersed in shock, and there was a little more awe of the Kingdom of All Souls.
Starting from the banks of the Tongtian River, the monsters of All Souls City will lead the way.
They saw a huge golden barrier standing in the distance.
"Is that the City of All Souls?"
Someone asked.
"It's not. ”
The monsters shook their heads: "That's the Xiliang Women's Country." ”
They obviously didn't want to pass by the women's country, so they bypassed it from a distance.
After a day of walking with their families and families, they finally arrived at a field with no border in sight.
At noon, the farmers were resting, and when they saw the team, they took the initiative to stop and provided them with some water.
"Is my uncle also from Huaguo Mountain?"
Yang Mingyuan asked the old man who poured water for him.
"It's not. The old man shook his head and said with a smile: "We have lived in the neighborhood for generations, and we are native humans. ”
He explained to Yang Mingyuan that the people who farm here are basically human beings, and Yang Mingyuan and they are likely to be arranged here in the future.
"We can't read or write, let alone understand the technology of Huaguoshan, only farming can do well. ”
The old man said this, but his face was full of smiles.
They do traditional jobs and earn some hard-earned money, although it is very little, but everyone does not have to worry about going hungry, and they live a very solid life.
"We work here, and our children can go to school in the school in All Souls. ”
The old man said: "If they have a skill, they will be able to live a good life in the future." ”
Yang Mingyuan nodded, he came to Wanling City for his daughter.
"Will the academy in All Souls City recruit demons?"
He couldn't help but ask.
The old man immediately laughed: "This is Wanling City, of course any demon will accept it!"
Although this answer was expected, Yang Mingyuan still felt down-to-earth in his heart.
He asked again about farming.
"People who don't have a skill will basically be arranged. ”
The old man replied: "All Souls City will feed 500,000 people in five years, and the more people who plant it, the better." ”
He told Yang Mingyuan that Wanling City now has a great demand for food, and in fact, the crops were ripened by the immortal method to reach the standard.
But this phenomenon cannot last, the nectar of the immortals is limited, and the use of immortal irrigation for a long time is also easy to cause damage to the land.
In the first 10 years of the plan, the food requirement for the first five years was to feed 500,000 people and basically achieve self-sufficiency.
"Ten years from now, we're going to have to feed a million people. ”
The old man said again.
Yang Mingyuan frowned: "Is this possible?"
"Of course it is. ”
The old man smiled and was very confident, Wanling City had set aside a large area of grain production, and the area now being developed was actually less than one percent.
As the cultivated population increases, the grain-producing area will continue to expand.
Plus -
"We also have immortals to help. ”
The old man said that the monsters of Huaguo Mountain, under the leadership of the immortals, are studying the method of increasing food every day.
If they are to feed 50 million people in a hundred years, technology will have to keep up.
"Fifty million?"
Yang Mingyuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, as if he was in a dream.
After a short break, the crowd continued to move forward, led by the yokai.
The girl is already familiar with a deer demon who leads the way.
"Sister, why aren't you afraid of me at all?"
She asked the deer demon.
"What's there to be afraid of?" the deer demon smiled: "There are transfiguration books in Wanling City, if you study hard, you will definitely become a beautiful girl." ”
The girl rejoiced.
Yang Mingyuan was happy when he saw this scene.
The girl is a child born to him and a demon, after the demon died, he has been running around with her, and has been driven away by hostility everywhere, only after entering the country of all souls, along the way, no one has ever shown disgust.
From the moment he entered the border of the Ten Thousand Spirits Kingdom, Yang Mingyuan felt that the knowledge he had traveled for many years had been completely subverted.
But it was the people of the Land of All Souls that pleased him the most.
The people around him who had left their homes were all down and at a loss.
Looking at the monsters of the Kingdom of All Souls, and the old man I saw just now, the vitality and optimism on his face were completely different from them.
This kind of thriving spirit and striving for progress, Yang Yuanming has traveled all over Xiniu Hezhou over the years, but he has never seen it in other places.
Even at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, although the people there live and work in peace and contentment, they do not have such a sense of striving for progress.
"Maybe it's a place for us to stay. ”
Yang Mingyuan thought so in his heart.
The ideal place he had been looking for for years might be just ahead.
