C665 The Benefits of the River



C665 The Benefits of the River

2Xiao Yun had been walking happily along the way.    

    

There was no hurry.    

    

His body had become even stronger. Furthermore, he felt that his original energy with special abilities had also become stronger and stronger.    

    

This was a great thing.    

    

Leng Yueling and Tuoba Tian'er had also recovered their health.    

    

Especially the miraculous thing, the fractures on their bodies actually needed a long time to heal.    

    

However, there was a kind of magical paste in Five Poisons Village.    

    

It could be considered one of their normal meals.    

    

Eating it would have an unimaginable effect on the recovery of the body, especially on the bones. The recovery speed was too fast and unimaginable!    

    

Of course.    

    

Xiao Yun also made up his mind. Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't mention that kind of paste ingredient.    

    

He had seen how to make the paste. Based on his understanding of the forest, he could tell about seven types of poisonous insects from them. There were more than half of the poisonous insects and plants that he did not know about.    

    

A few of them were especially ugly, the kind that would make one's hair stand on end and make one feel disgusted from the bottom of one's heart.    

    

If the two women found out about this, not to mention whether they would go crazy from disgust or not, just whether or not they would continue drinking after that, the answer would be more certain.    

    

"Aiya, after leaving the village, I ate a lot less. The paste from before was not bad, but now I can't drink it anymore."    

    

Leng Yueling would miss her village life from time to time.    

    

Hearing this, Xiao Yun broke out in cold sweat.    

    

He could not say it, he definitely could not say it!    

    

As long as he said it, these two women would definitely lose a lot of weight!    

    

However, putting aside the nostalgia, he did not say it.    

    

This journey was much, much better than the previous struggle.    

    

Searching for delicious food in the forest, then choosing a beautiful place to camp.    

    

At this time, the horse carriage that Xiao Yun had carefully crafted showed a strong advantage.    

    

It was simply too comfortable!    

    

The humidity in the forest, the cold air, the snakes, insects and mice, and so on were all unable to affect them.    

    

A bonfire warmed up the entire carriage.    

    

The three of them living in it naturally did not feel cold.    

    

They ate well too.    

    

Xiao Yun's ability to produce ingredients from nature was number one in the word 'sky'!    

    

In this world, even those old hunters and veterans could not compare to him.    

    

He could casually go out and work for an hour and bring back a lot of ingredients. In another hour, the two women would be able to eat a delicacy that they had never tasted before.    

    

The little critter stopped talking.    

    

Snake meat.    

    

It was a very high-class enjoyment!    

    

He didn't even mention the snake soup.    

    

That kind of thing was too ancient. In his previous life, ever since he had humans, he had the soup, or rather, only the soup.    

    

Xiao Yun's roast and roast soup, these two aspects, could turn snake meat into a delicacy that ordinary people couldn't imagine.    

    

The originally ugly meat, in Xiao Yun's hands, could instantly become an extremely delicious delicacy.    

    

It made people unable to stop.    

    

Even Tuoba Tian'er, who was originally afraid of snakes, actually allowed a pile of snake meat that had been cleaned up but had yet to be cooked to be placed in the carriage!    

    

The skin was still preserved and it looked no different from a living snake.    

    

One day when she slept and slept hot, she even hugged a dead snake in her arms to cool it down!    

    

This was the power of delicious food.    

    

The small carriage didn't walk very fast.    

    

The four horses weren't tired either.    

    

But in the end... the journey was still completed.    

    

"This road is good."    

    

The small carriage came to a slightly spacious road.    

    

Leng Yueling asked curiously, "Is this the road that the Guan family built?"    

    

Xiao Yun shook his head and smiled, "This is a place where no one cares. How can there be any forces building bridges and paving roads here?"    

    

"How can it be so flat and wide? It can't even be compared to an ordinary official road."    

    

"Hehe, that's because this used to be a river. An ancient riverbed. Great rivers and the like, some of them would change due to the changes in the earth's crust. Rivers would change direction or block, or simply because of changes in the surface environment. Due to the lack of rainwater, the river would be completely dried up, but the river would remain. After people discovered this place, they naturally had to make use of it. Gradually, it has become like this."    

    

"So it's... naturally formed?"    

    

"Yeah, and the river is the most reliable route."    

    

"Why?"    

    

The two women naturally did not understand Xiao Yun's theory, but it did not affect them from understanding it in their own way.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "They think that the civilization of mankind is often built by the river. Even now, the big city will be built by the river."    

    

"Is this the arrangement?"    

    

"This..."    

    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "For things like cities, they are very rarely powerful people. He drew a circle in a certain place and then suddenly rose from the ground. Creating miracles in the world. Under normal circumstances, there would have been humans living here before. Then, it gradually expanded, and then there was the scene of a large city. It's just that the larger the city, the more rivers there would be around it. "    

    

" Why is that? "    

    

"Because of the transportation!" said Wang Yao.    

    

"Transportation?"    

    

Tuoba Tian'er immediately came over and almost laid on Xiao Yun's body.    

    

These things were related to the national policy and the livelihood of the people. She had been running politics for her entire life. Of course, she wanted to know what was going on.    

    

She clearly knew that what Xiao Yun said was not knowledge that could be learned from books. It was all genuine and useful information!    

    

"What is a big city? A political center in a region. That was for sure. Officials and the like will live here and work here. But that's not the prerequisite, it's because this city is big enough... Perhaps it was meaningful enough to send officials and garrisons. More importantly, the center of the economy, which involved trade and trade. For example, if the village wanted to buy a kitchen knife, no one could just stay at the village entrance. Selling some daily necessities? How much money could a village have? But it could not feed a businessman, so it could only be a businessman. The merchant, one village after another, walked over and sold things. If he could earn more money, what would he do after he sold all his goods? Shouldn't he go to a place to stock up? He would exchange the money in his hand for something and then go to sell the goods. This would require him to go to a place where he could buy the goods, and it wasn't that far away from where he sold the goods. All the merchants in a business are like this, gradually... There would be a unified transaction place, where everyone would come and sell the goods. The upstream of these merchants, or even the workshop, could be fixed in one place. There was no need to run around. All they needed to do was wait for the merchants to come. And this kind of place would gradually form cities, cities, and cities. First, there was a city, and second, there was a city. The city was protected. There were rules and regulations that provided a certain level of safety. As for the city... It was a market, a place that could be traded. And where is the most suitable place to be traded? That was naturally the place where the goods could be transported very quickly, so it was a convenient place for transportation. It was more likely to become a big city, and it had the greatest advantage of being a big city. The place with the lowest cost of transporting goods! Then let me ask you, whether it was in the past or now... What is the method with the lowest cost of transporting goods?"    

    

Tuoba Tian'er thought for a moment and said probingly, "It should be shipping, right? I have heard that if the cost of transportation is 10 taels, the water transportation will only cost 3 taels. For the same goods, the water transportation is the most cost-effective."    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Actually, if the operation is done properly, the difference in price can be even greater! Ten roads and one water, both are possible. So those cities that can rely on the water transportation route will naturally gradually become large cities."    

    

"So that's how it is!"    

    

Tuoba Tian'er suddenly felt enlightened.    

    

She previously had a doubt that the capital city of North Wei did not need to care about it. The development was especially good, and the border city... Every year, a large amount of money was spent, but... it was still the same, with no intention of developing at all. Furthermore, it was like a bottomless pit. It could only be filled in. However, during this period of time, Old Master Xiao had occupied the border. That big city was actually flourishing! Not only did the population increase, but there was also an endless stream of merchants from all over the world. In fact, there were even some people in the Imperial Court of the North Wei who had already expressed their stance indirectly. It was said that it was a desolate and bitter land, but if it was lost, it was lost. On the contrary, it was a good thing to save a huge sum of money for the North Wei?!    

    

As for the matter of losing the territory, let the old Emperor carry it on his back.    

    

The newly appointed one would not be affected at all!    

    

This kind of statement made people break down.    

    

But everyone also understood that the reason why this kind of voice would appear was because some of the family powers that some officials secretly possessed had already obtained benefits at the border.    

    

Regarding this, Tuoba Tian'er only felt extremely powerless and even collapsed.    

    

Although she did not want to care about anything now, she was still curious and wanted to ask.    

    

While they were talking.    

    

Leng Yueling suddenly said in a deep voice, "There are sounds of fighting in front!"
