Volume 2 Riding Alone to the End of the World Chapter 17 Ning Yu

Two days later, the Three Caves returned, bringing with them a traveling merchant from the Flame Worm Colony introduced by Red Tongue.

This was the first time Wei Wuxian and Ning Yu had met.

In Wei Wuxian's eyes, Ning Yu was a laid-back and uninhibited guy. In Ning Yu's eyes, he is a person who seems to be very good at talking, but is actually delicate.

Ningyu's business is very extensive, and in addition to the Flame Worm Colony Star, there are several other neighboring Colony Stars that are also within his trade range.

However, the business volume is not particularly large, and excluding the intermediate expenses, it will not be able to fall a few times a year.

Red Tongue is still very discerning in business, and knows that it is unrealistic to introduce too many customers to Wei Wuxian, and a traveling merchant of Ningyu's level is the most suitable.

Ning Yu had seen the Xuejing sample and was very satisfied with its quality, as for Wei Wuxian's identity, he didn't care, and it was precisely because of the other party's identity that he could get greater benefits from it.

The two chatted tentatively for a while, Ning Yu felt that the time was almost up, and took the list in his hand and asked, "Can Wei Daoyou tell me the approximate amount that can be provided?" I can assess how many materials Daoyou needs to be exchanged. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Let's exchange one side's snow crystals first!"

"There is only one side!" Ning Yu was slightly disappointed.

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "It's the first time we've worked together, and too many Daoists may not dare to come up with so many materials, right?"

Ning Yu estimated it and felt that his words made sense. There are a lot of snow crystals on one side, and now the war between the three major domains against the small world of snow crystals has just begun, according to the past practice, it is impossible to end the battle without a hundred years or so, and the snow crystals over there will not rush into the market at once, and the current price will be relatively stable in the short term.

"Okay, just do what the Taoist said, but the Taoist has to pay a deposit of 10% first. ”

Wei Wuxian said: "No problem, I need to see the goods within a month, and after signing the agreement, Daoyou can take a deposit of one percent,"

The two sides reached an agreement, and Ning Yu happily left Yanyan City with a deposit of one percent.

You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, Wei Wuxian has experience in the construction of the Shepanshan base, and he is not in a hurry, but has to carry out it step by step.

The first step is to build a preliminary internal political framework and formulate rules for the city, and then start cleaning up the whole city and do a good job in the census.

In addition to sweeping out some garbage, we also collect materials that can be used.

Yanyan City is quite huge, and the distance between the front and back has been calculated to be hundreds of miles long, but except for the city near the city lord's mansion, the other places have collapsed and become barren, and they have been buried by wind and sand for thousands of years.

He didn't insist on cleaning up there, but asked people to clean up the city lord's mansion ten miles first, and build this part of the collapsed city wall.

The Flame Bug Colony is hot, and most creatures are extremely drought resistant, but that doesn't mean they don't need water. The city was so large that it must have been built near a water source, and Wei Wuxian took a spin around the city, finally discovering the traces of the river that had been left behind.

According to the traces left by the river, it can be seen that it was a large river several miles wide.

He flew three hundred miles north along the trail of the river again, and then came across a mountain that towered into the sky.

To his shock, the mountain had been split in half, and the source of the river had been cut off, and the water left behind by the mountain had converged in another direction, where Storm City was located.

He came between the two mountain peaks, and after a thousand years, there was still a remnant of the fierce sword intent of the sword back then.

The Flame Worm Colony Star is a small world that the Swift Wind Domain Lord took down thousands of years ago, which means that this sword was done by the Domain Lord of the Void Yuan Realm back then, and a sword cut the mountain in half, just thinking about it is very terrifying.

Gu Man said that the Dharma Body of the Void Yuan Realm cultivator was a thousand feet high, and now it seems that he should not be exaggerating, otherwise he would not have such a terrifying power.

Now that he knows why, it's easy to just bring the water over, which may be difficult for others, but it couldn't be easier for him.

He returned to Yanyan City first, and asked the bookstore to start recruiting personnel on a large scale, and it was easy to bring water over, but the river must be cleaned up first.

In addition, the water can't all be drained over, otherwise it will affect the side of Storm City, and there must be a plan for where the water will flow after using, so that it is not necessary to flow into other places, the amount of water needed in Yanyan City is not small, and the best way is to build a large artificial lake and accumulate it.

These are all big projects, and they can't be run by the people at all, but if the water conservancy construction is not done well, then the city will not be able to live for a long time, so no matter how troublesome it is, it will have to be done.

He looked around the neighborhood again, found a slightly lower position as a reservoir lake, and in order to ensure that the bottom would not penetrate into the ground, he specially found a few craftsmen who knew how to water conservancy to investigate.

The construction of Yanyan City is in full swing, and there are more and more desolate people who come to the vicinity after hearing the news, the desolate people live a difficult life, there are no resources outside, and they sometimes need to pay the price of their lives if they want to eat a mouthful of food. Nowadays, as long as you work here, you will have food and shelter, and a large number of wasteland people are rushing to join the infrastructure construction team, with the city lord's mansion in Yanyan City as the center, and all kinds of strange creatures around it are very rare to integrate together to do things.

Dongkang reported to him that the food in the warehouse would only last for ten days at most, and he expressed his concern about this.

Now that the number of aliens on the periphery has reached tens of thousands, of course, the consumption is large, and if food cannot be provided stably, then the trouble will undoubtedly cause serious harm to Yanyan City, which has just begun to achieve results.

Wei Wuxian calculated, if Ning Yu brought the materials he exchanged on time, then the time would be just right, but this was based on the other party's compliance with the agreement and punctuality. If something happens, you arrive late, or if you don't show up, then it's dangerous.

He couldn't take this risk, so he asked Sandong to take someone to Windwind City to find Red Tongue to borrow some food for emergencies.

If Ning Yu came on time with supplies, then it would be easy to say anything. If Ning Yu doesn't come back, he must think of another thing as soon as possible.

The scale of the planned reservoir lake is about 200 miles wide, 50 miles south of Yanyan City, the south side is low, the river passes through the city edge, can lead water into the city, and the water of the downstream reservoir lake will not have any impact on Yanyan City.

The two major projects of cleaning up the river and digging the impoundment lake were carried out at the same time, and if it were an ordinary human, such a huge project would not have been completed in a few years. But it's not a big deal for these alien creatures.

At present, the only thing restricting the construction process is personnel management, and it is not enough for more than a dozen bookstores to be assigned, and often the construction site is in chaos, and there are always lazy people who are lazy to do it, sowing discord, and affecting those wasteland people who want to do things wholeheartedly.

Wei Wuxian knew that he was still in a hurry, so he personally took action to rectify a group of people who were lazy and tired and had nothing to do, and began to shrink the project, first evacuated the wasteland who cleaned up the river, redeployed, personally supervised, and dug the reservoir lake in an orderly manner.

Four days later, Sandong borrowed back 200,000 catties of food, which could last about ten more days.

In addition, the Spirit Valley placed in the Yin and Yang two cylinders had sprouted, which made Wei Wuxian really happy, once the Spirit Valley could be planted, it would have a profound impact on Yanyan City.

He planted the seedlings in a vacant lot in the city lord's mansion, applied water in the morning and evening, and carefully observed their growth.

The Flame Worm Colony lacks trees, and it is not easy to obtain the essence of plants and trees.

However, it also has its advantages, that is, the heaven and earth are full of vitality, which is more than ten times that of the Shepan Mountain base.

In addition, the sunshine is sufficient, as long as the moisture can be guaranteed, then the planted Spirit Valley will not be worse than the base of Shepan Mountain.

The facts also proved this, and soon after the seedlings were planted, they began to grow at a frantic rate, and according to his years of experience, it is estimated that the growth cycle of Linggu will be twice as fast as that of the Shepanshan base, and it can be harvested about four times a year.

This is quite an astonishing speed, it can be harvested once every three months, and if the grains are as full as the base of Shepan Mountain, then there will be no worries about food in the future.

Seven days later, just outside the penultimate day of Ningyu's agreement, Dongkang's voice of joy was heard.

"My lord, the supplies have arrived, all the supplies have arrived!"

Wei Wuxian stood up from the edge of the Ling Field, and said with a smile on his face, "yes, where are you?"

Dongkang said: "Just ten miles outside the city, General Kuishu is conducting a routine inspection. ”

"Let's go, let's see. Wei Wuxian put away the spirit hoe he had refined and walked outside.

The leopard-headed man Dongkang followed out, only to see Ning Yu coming from the opposite side, and there was an old man beside him.

"City Lord Wei, you're going to do something big!" Ning Yu said.

"It's a big deal, it's just nonsense. Wei Wuxian modestly looked at the old man to the side and asked, "Who is this?"

Ning Yu said: "He is my business partner for many years, and this time it is by relying on his big merchant ship that the materials you want can be successfully delivered." ”

Wei Wuxian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It's rude, it's rude, in the next Wei Wuxian, thank you Lou Lao for your hard work all the way to transport the materials here." ”

Lou Lao replied: "The city lord of Wei is polite, I am also curious, so let Xiaoyu take me to take a look, the city lord will not blame the old man for coming uninvited!"

"Old Lou said with a smile, a distinguished guest like you, I can't invite you even if I invite you on weekdays! Said to Dongkang: "I went to soak the 'warm incense' sent by the red tongue last time to entertain the distinguished guests." ”

The group walked inward, and when they passed by the Lingtian, Lou Lao stopped in surprise, then walked over and took a closer look and said, "This is the Spirit Valley, and the city lord is still good at the Spirit Plantation Technique?"

"I know a little bit about it, and it's fun. Wei Wuxian said.

"The city lord is modest, and the old man has a few friends who have tried to plant the Spirit Valley here, but the seeds can't germinate at all, let alone anything else. ”

Ning Yu hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now when he heard Lou Lao's words, he immediately realized the unusualness.

Wei Wuxian himself was unsuccessful in the first few times to sprout, and it only germinated after placing it in the Yin and Yang cylinders.

It is not strange that the Yin and Yang two cylinders nourish all things and can give birth to the germination of the Spirit Valley, so he naturally will not tell other people, smiling silently.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, he turned around with a smile and walked towards the official room, and didn't ask any more.

Dongkang had already made tea, Wei Wuxian invited the two of them to sit down, Ning Yu handed him a list and said: "This is the list of goods this time, some of them are a little different from the number you ordered, and I will adjust some supplements for the less, you see, if it's okay, let people check the number." ”

Wei Wuxian glanced at it and handed it to Dongkang on the side, who was very clever and took the list out of the office.

Ning Yu said: "I said why did the city lord want to make such a big water storage lake, it turns out that there is such a big grand plan, but where does the water source come from?"

Lou Lao took a sip of tea and said, "This still needs to be asked, naturally it is Jianxia Mountain, three hundred miles to the north." ”

Ning Yu said, "Wouldn't that be going to compete with Storm City for water?"

Lou Lao looked at Wei Wuxian with a little deep meaning.

Wei Wuxian said: "Come over with a stream of water in the early stage, save your life first, and talk about the future later." ”

Nearly 7,000 Flame Lizard Legions have to eat and drink, as well as the recruited wasteland, urban construction, Spirit Valley planting, and so on. Without water, there is no life, and everything has to give way in the face of survival.

Lou Lao said: "Does the city lord want to restore the old appearance of Yanyan City?"

"Why not?"

"What Ning Yu said just now is one thing, as long as the city lord's side develops, the amount of water required will continue to increase, then it means that there will be another stream of water here, or even three or four shares, which will eventually affect the water of Storm City, presumably the consequences should be very clear to the city lord!"

Wei Wuxian nodded, there are so many resources in the world, if you have more, I will have less, why does the cultivation realm keep conquest outside, isn't it just that the resources are fighting.

Lou Lao continued: "This is just one of them, the city lord will not look at the colony star base in a small fight, if the strength is large enough to a certain extent, it will inevitably attract their attention, then I am afraid that it will not be a matter of competing for water with Storm City, it will rise to the dispute between the domain people and the wasteland." Has the city lord thought about it carefully?"

Wei Wuxian glanced at him deeply and said, "Does Old Lou know what happened before he came here?"

Lou Lao said: "I heard a little. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "I also tried to obtain the qualification of a domain citizen by accumulating meritorious deeds. However, because I offended the Guards, I was not only stripped of my merits, but I was also expelled from the expedition and sent here. This is the greatest humiliation I have ever suffered in my life, and I swore an oath at the moment of the judgment of the three elders of the Yuan Star Precept Hall that I would never again become a domain citizen in this life. ”

Lou Lao knew his answer, and he didn't say anything more.

Ning Yu was also silent, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "If this affects the two of you, next time I will find another business partner, and you don't need to worry about being implicated." ”

Ning Yu said: "What is the city lord talking about, business is business, so I won't care about those messy things." After speaking, he looked at Lou Lao, but found that he was silent.

After the two came out of Yanyan City, Lou Lao said: "You'd better stay away from him in the future, it's okay to do business, but don't get close to him Guo Yu." ”

Ning Yu said: "Why?"

"Why? You're a smart man, how long do you think he'll be able to stay here? a year, or two years? Wind City alone is enough for him to drink a pot, not to mention that I see in him the kind of momentum that only a hegemon has. But he doesn't have the strength and identity to match it, this is extremely dangerous, sooner or later he will be opposed to the original star, how will you deal with yourself then!"

Ning Yu stood still, he had some worries before, but it was limited to the grabbing of water in Yanyan City and Windwind City, not as thoroughly as Lou Lao's thinking, the dispute between the domain people and the wasteland people was not a joke, even if he was open-minded and uninhibited, he had to be cautious.
