Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain! - Chapter 199.1
Outside Wuling City, on Xieyang Road.
To the north of Wuling City, two peaks stand side by side.
In the evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun shines in, it passes through the twin peaks and turns into a narrow light path, which coincides exactly with a road leading directly to Wuling City in the north.
And this route is called “Xieyang Road.”
Before Wuling City was built, the end of Xieyang Road was the small river that circled Wuling City. After that, continue to go south, and there will be another road in a dozen miles. Then one would need to travel hundreds of miles along the main road before arriving at another small city.
In the past, only a few scattered small villages were located beside Xieyang Road.
For these poor peasant families, this Xieyang Road is an important channel that allowed them to communicate with the outside world.
Materials that they cannot produce, such as salt, spices, sugar, etc., are obtained through this Xieyang Road.
Therefore, although Xieyang Road is rarely used by people, it has never been abandoned.
However, this road, where there was no one in sight for most of the day, has suddenly seen a lot of caravans in recent days.
Their destination was the recently established Wuling City.
Thanks to Wuling City, these villages, which were never noticed by the world, are bustling these days.
Caravans often need to stop halfway, and these villages are undoubtedly the best places to stop.
These villages, where only shopkeepers would occasionally come to sell goods, finally have the opportunity to buy some things that they can’t buy at ordinary times.
And they finally had the opportunity to sell the vegetables, fruits, cured meat, and leather that could only be sold cheaply to peddlers to the caravan at a more reasonable price.
This is a win-win trade for both parties.
The formation of trade often requires many conditions, such as geographical location, population, transportation, climate, specialty products, folk customs, etc., all of which are indispensable.
In the era of inconvenient transportation, trade is usually limited to a small area, and only those cities with a large population and well-connected can form a truly prosperous trade fair.
Although there are cultivators in this world, the vast majority of people are still mere mortals after all.
Those cultivator methods are too far away for them, and they are still living a very ordinary life, which is no different from the ancient times in this world.
No cultivator will come here to sell and buy things that are worthless to cultivators just for these mortals, so the trade method still seems old and stagnant.
A city driving the development of a region is a true portrayal of ancient economic development.
It’s just that the current Wuling City is only a very young city.
The population is sparse, the specialties are poor, and the transportation is inconvenient.
Therefore, Wuling City’s driving effect on the surrounding towns and villages is still very limited, and there are very few caravans.
But even so, for the scattered villages on both sides of the road, Wuling City has brought obvious changes to them.
There are more delicacies on the table that they have never seen before, and the food also has more taste.
The villagers bought more useful tools and even had some spare money to buy some things for recreation.
There were more smiles on people’s faces, and their hearts were gradually filled with a sense of satisfaction.
Therefore, the villagers are sincerely grateful to Wuling City.
After the Wuling City Founding Ceremony, fewer caravans were going to Wuling City, and Xieyang Road returned to its former peace. But on the second day after the city founding ceremony, a carriage rushed to Wuling City at high speed.
The solitary carriage obviously cannot be a caravan, not to mention that the carriage is made of exquisite materials and is durable. Obviously, it will not be used by those stingy caravans. On the contrary, it is more like those carriages used by rich families when they go out for fun.
The person in charge of driving was a young man who looked to be in his thirties and wore strong clothes. He concentrated on driving the carriage, making the carriage pass quickly on the Xieyang Road as smoothly as possible.
At this time, a clear and sweet female voice suddenly came from the carriage, “Guard Lang, how long will it take us to reach Wuling City?”
The young man driving the car said casually, “It will probably take another two hours! Please rest assured, Miss! We will definitely be able to reach Wuling City today.”
The woman in the carriage gave a hum of approval and stopped talking.
The young man driving the car couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, why are you rushing to Wuling City in such a hurry? I heard that Wuling City has just been built. The whole city is still empty. With so few people, even if we go, it won’t be interesting?”
The woman in the carriage snorted and said, “You don’t understand! Don’t look at the fact that Wuling City is not well-known at the moment, but it won’t be long before this city will become the largest city in the entire Dongzhou! You have to know that Feng Shao, the lord of Wuling City, is a remarkable person! His ideas are simply beyond the comprehension of you people! Only I can see what he is capable of!”
