Chapter 180 The taxis in the Central Plains are very expensive
The Central Plains is located in the mountains and seas, with the Heluo area as the center and the middle and lower reaches of the river. It needs to be expanded to the west of Dongyi, the north of Jiangshui, the south of Zhenmeng, and Dayong.
To the east, these four areas are all the Central Plains region.
The vast river has been left far behind. After dozens of days' journey, Uncle Xi has set foot in the Central Plains area, but it is still far away from the emperor's capital. However, he can already see the huge stone city unique to the Central Plains area.
.
Some legends say that the city was first built by the Shennong clan, while others say it was cast during the Taihao period. Today, almost all large tribes have built cities in the Central Plains, and some even built them close to mountains and used mountain springs to store water.
It is a large pond and can be called the fortress of the world.
"The weather in the Central Plains is cold, which is different from the south."
According to the twenty-four solar terms calendar established by Yu Zai, Uncle Xi thought about it and found that it was already light snow.
It snows lightly, Dou Zhiji, the air is cold and it is snowing, but the ground is not cold enough and the snow is not heavy.
"It seems that my steps are quite fast."
I was about thirty years old. After all, crossing the river is already a radiating area in the Central Plains, and this section of the road is much easier to walk than in the south. Uncle Xi met a guy doing business on the road. What a coincidence, this is a German
Lenny, no, he's from Nailing Country.
"Don't worry about my speed! It only costs twenty shell coins. Where do you want to go from here? Add more money!"
The Dingling people are very tall, about three meters tall, about the same height as Xiangbo, the great warrior of Chaisang Mountain.
There is a bamboo chair on their back with two rattans tied on it, which is a place for people to sit.
Uncle Xi knew that in this section of the Central Plains, there were "foreigners" who came from various places in the southeast, northwest and northwest to work. As for the purpose of these people, some wanted to make a name for themselves outside, while others were expelled and moved here.
Some of them are just doing business, which is the same as the merchants in the adult country, except that what they sell are rare treasures, limited products, and overseas purchasing agents. The most that these businessmen can do is go to the West to dig for gold.
Wild vegetables or something.
The north is too cold, so only traders from certain countries will go further north. In their eyes, the cattle and sheep in the north are great goods.
"Which clan are you from?"
The Dingling Kingdom is a country in the north, and most of those active in the south should be a group of people who moved south. Of course, to put it harshly, they are a group of people who were exiled after the political struggle in their country failed.
This big man in Dingling is wearing a mink robe. It is not unusual for this to be a specialty in their country, but it has a very high value when sold. People in Dingling raise mink, and the mink and driving business is theirs.
important economic source.
"Me, I'm from the Yue Jing clan."
The Nailing people have several big clans, and the rest are branches of these big clans, such as the Dishu clan, the Yuejing clan, the Shenwu clan, and the Banru clan. Of course, none of these centaur leaders is named Akmon x
, and their great leader was called "Zong".
Not Green Onion!
This is a position equivalent to "king" or "monarch".
Da means greatness, Li means perseverance, and Horse symbolizes "Martial", and Shi means people.
Therefore, the Dao family refers to "a great man who holds a riding crop and fights".
Uncle Xi's heart moved: "The Yue Jing clan is no longer able to survive in Ding Ling Kingdom."
The nail-nailed man suddenly sighed: "No, no, in the past two years, due to the flood, our governance failed, so King Yue Jing was driven out, and the successor was Di Shu, who was the same as King Yue Jing.
If we don’t deal with it, we will start liquidation after taking power. If the big tree falls down, the monkeys will definitely have to migrate. We have no choice but to run out to survive.”
He is extremely fast and can easily travel hundreds of miles a day, which is already very impressive. After all, Chollima is not a cabbage and can be sold to any driver on the road.
The man who nailed the spirit was particularly good at bragging. He kept talking all the way, talking about the changes in the Central Plains in recent years. Uncle Xi had not been back for many years, so he was naturally very unfamiliar with the current situation.
New cities were built, and old cities collapsed.
New tribes rise and old tribes fall.
Uncle Xi thought of the Chifang clan.
Birth and death, but sometimes, leaving because of helplessness may not be a new rebirth.
A few days later, Uncle Xi and the nailed man came to a large city with extremely high stone walls, winding and winding, built according to the hills. You could even see a large sacrificial platform on it, and inside the city gate, there were fireworks.
It seems that a market is open.
"Ye Lao, we have arrived at Shangqiu! In the past, when Emperor Ku visited here, he saw that the people were trapped in floods, and the firewood and mulberry trees were all wet, and there was no fire. So Emperor Ku ordered us to come here and teach him the art of burning fire.
The platform of loess was raised, and the blazing fire lasted forever. When the emperor saw that the people were alive, he gave this place a deed, and this place was called 'Shangqiu'!"
"Today, the light on the Fire God Platform is still bright! The rain from the sky cannot extinguish it, just like the indestructible trees growing in the mountains and seas over there!"
"There are often Dongyi people coming and going here, just like the commercial cities in the Central Plains, there are many people coming and going from foreign countries and traveling overseas!"
Uncle Xi and Nailing Man went into the city to buy water. They passed by a tall figure with dog ears and a beast body, with two green snakes hanging on it.
"Is that the Shebi Corpse Man?"
Uncle Xi calculated the time and found that the trade in the Central Plains seemed to have flourished during this period.
A simple market cannot stop the enthusiasm of sellers and buyers. Although there was no such saying in ancient times, you would still be beaten if you fumbled around in the stalls without buying.
Someone started fighting not far away. One of them was a citizen only found in the Southern Wilderness. He had wings and was from the Republic of Yu.
The other buyer has fox ears and is from Qingqiu.
"The Yuren are selling fake goods! The profiteers from the south!"
I don't know who was shouting here, but the birdman's expression immediately changed.
Many vendors ran over to start a fight. The Qingqiu man was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his handsome face was disfigured. However, he refused to let go and explained to everyone: "This birdman robbed my business and sold fake goods.
The plows he sells are sold to him by me!"
"Second-hand dealers should be beaten to death!"
Yuren was speechless, and many people around him began to ask. This matter had become a big deal, and the tribes in the city who maintained market order came quickly.
Bastard Southerners and bastard Easterners?
This time it’s dog eat dog!
Of course, regional blackness was also very common in ancient times, such as stupid Central Plains people, treacherous Westerners, bastard Southerners, troubled Easterners, and poor Northerners.
The main thing here is to talk about the characters of people in various places. People in the Central Plains are rigid, while people in Xirong are mothers when they have milk, father when they provide food, and they turn around to take care of their filial sons. Especially in the three parts of Kunlun, what they say is like farting. After two
Forgot in seconds.
People in the South like to cause trouble and curse at every turn. People in the East are very fussy and talkative. As for the people in the North, because it is a bitter cold land, they can't even wear grass skirts. According to rumors, they all sleep with sheep.
Yes, known as poor.
Later in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the black people in the black areas were even more powerful. People in Zheng were buying shoes, worrying about things in vain, and learning to walk in Handan.
Uncle Xi went to the side and the man who nailed the spirit originally wanted to watch the fun, but when he heard the word plow, he was stunned.
Isn't the plow made by Yuzai? How could it appear in the Central Plains?
Uncle Xi went to take a look, but found that the plow was simply too crude. Compared with the plow made by Yu Zai, this plow was just a few pieces of wood stuck together.
But it has to be said that it is indeed very similar to the plow of Yuzai. The most important thing is that this same thing is also named "plough"?
"Is this yours?"
Uncle Xi went to ask, and the Qingqiu man wiped his nosebleed and said, "I bought this from a farm boy in Shouchiu, Heze, and he called it a plow."
