On the morning after arriving at Xuanshui Village, Li Xiang and his entourage boarded the train and headed outside the Northwest Pass. The only place where they could buy grain and Daqianzhong commodities was the Northwest Town.
After the Northwest Pass became the gathering place for the Daqian deportees, the northwest town followed the first batch of deportees to the Northwest Pass. Xiaozhen's existence prevented these people who were expelled from the Daqian from starving to death. They were eaten up by powerful beasts outside the Northwest Pass. While the town was protecting these deportees, it also collected huge profits from these people.
If you want to get a lot of supplies from the town, you have to work hard in the dangerous northwest wilderness. There is no free food in this world, and even if there is, it is food with added ingredients.
If you want to live outside the West Pass for a long time, you have to work hard to seize the chassis from the mouth of the vicious beast, search for all kinds of natural materials and treasures in the vast wilderness, and then go to the town to exchange for the supplies you need.
What the town paid was only common food and crude weapons in Daqian. These things are very common in Daqian and are treasures outside the Northwest Pass. People outside the Northwest Pass use things worth hundreds of times more than these things. Go and change.
It is estimated that no one except the person in charge of the town knows how much the town harvests every year.
Li Xiang sat on the boat and practiced quietly. Zhang Qingyun and Zhou Yulan were whispering on the bow. Ten Xiliang soldiers were guarding the surroundings. Several Xiliang warships were following around the building. The warships currently owned by Xiliang are in No one outside the entire Northwest Pass can compare with Xiliang.
Looking at Xuanshui Lake and Xiliang alone, they are the strongest outside the Northwest Pass, but what you see outside the Northwest Pass is not the navy but the troops on land.
As the Xiliang fleet headed towards the town with bursts of water, the originally gloomy sky became brighter.
Under the moonlight, the Xiliang ship stopped. The place where they were now was not very far from the town. They took the cut and tied bamboos and the boxes containing the best spiritual bamboos to get off the ship. The ship would not leave until Li Xiang and his party came back. Li Xiang What I want to bring back this time is a large amount of gold. The people outside the Northwest Pass are all strong men. Li Xiangke dare not be careless. What Xiliang City lacks most is gold, food, and weapons. Xiliang City is okay. Grow and build it yourself, but if Li Xiang wants to get gold and silver, he can only get them by looking for mineral veins and trading. There are not many materials that can be traded in Xiliang City, so Li Xiang has to make some preparations in advance.
The best spiritual bamboo is more precious than gold and silver in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Li Xiang, the precious spiritual bamboo is still useful in Daqian. In this place outside the Northwest Pass, spiritual bamboo is not useful for food. Food can be eaten. If no one collects bamboo, its preciousness is the bamboo with spiritual energy. What can the bamboo with spiritual energy do?
They are humans, not wild animals, and cannot chew bamboo.
"Lord, there is a small town about a mile further. If you don't take action in the town, even if you are a mortal enemy, you must not take action. Every year, some people are provoked by the enemy's words and are attacked by the Great Wall Legion in the small town. The troops in the town were destroyed." Zhang Qingyun knew that this was Li Xiang's first time in the town, and he was not aware of some of the taboos in the town: "Besides not being able to do anything, don't offend the people of the Great Wall Legion."
Li Xiang nodded. Before he came, he had done some understanding of the town. The town was guarded by the Great Wall Legion, and the forces outside the Northwest Pass did not dare to provoke them. Regardless of their reputation as first-rate or second-rate outside the Northwest Pass, they could not be provoked by the Great Wall. In the eyes of the legion, they are just a group of expelled prisoners. If they can still create profits, the Great Wall Legion will destroy these first- and second-rate forces.
As a disciple of General Da Gan, Li Ming also had some understanding of the establishment of the Great Wall Legion. On the surface, the Great Wall Legion was to block their people, but in fact they were just incidental. The real opponents of the Great Wall Legion were the ferocious beasts outside the Northwest Pass and the Great Wall Legion. Not far away was the Xuantian Sect. Da Qian had never been at ease with these sects.
Walking on a road overgrown with weeds in the moonlight, after rounding a small bend, you can see the light of fire in the distance. When you walk in, you will see the city wall about five meters high. The city gate is wide open, and every corner on the wall About thirty paces away there is a soldier and a brazier.
With soldiers from the Great Wall Legion stationed there, the people in the town were not worried about anyone entering the town. If it weren't for the wild beasts outside the Northwest Pass, this wall would not even need to exist.
Zhang Qingyun walked in front. Each camp has its own base in the town of Zhongou. Xiliang Town occupies Qingzhu Village and Xuanshui Village. The camps of these two camps in the town naturally become Xiliang's base. The two camps are right next to each other and can be converted into one camp.
After walking through the city gate and entering the town, there are buildings on both sides. These buildings belong to the town's industry. Businessmen from Daqian will choose to rent these buildings. This is also the most prosperous one in the town. Some powerful forces will also choose to rent a building as a stronghold, such as Black Tiger City and White Lotus Sect. They all have their own buildings because these buildings are symbols of power in their eyes.
The Qingzhu Village station is far away from this street. After exiting the small street, walk about a mile to the Qingzhu Village station. The distance between the station and the small street has a great relationship with their strength. If you are strong, you can run Go to the front. If your strength is low, you can only stay at the back.
There is also an advantage to being stationed near the front, that is, people from outside the Northwest Pass who are driven out every year will come through the gate on the other side. This is when they grow in power, and some of the people who are driven out are abolished and repaired. Some are retaining their cultivation, while others are practicing external martial arts. What they want to do is to select the people they want from these people.
The powerful forces are at the front. After those people have made their selections, it will be the turn of the small forces like them. When Qingzhu Village got Zhou Hangjie, I don’t know how many people around it almost had their eyes popping out.
Li Xiang didn't pay much attention to this. The source of his subordinates was different from those of those forces. He didn't need reinforcements from Dagan. As long as there was enough food, the population of Xiliang City could increase.
Moreover, Prime Minister Li really didn't dare to use these people from the outside world. He only needed Xiliang soldiers. Those who were driven out by Daqian were those who were on the ninth floor and above because they had committed serious crimes and were driven out. Come out, in the hands of Li Xiang, besides mining, I can't think of what else these people can do.
When he arrived at Qingzhu Village, Li Xiang looked around. On the mini map, there were twenty yellow dots around Qingzhu Village!
Xuanshui Village is right next to Qingzhu Village. The people in Xuanshui Village were either killed by the White Lotus Sect or they were building roads on the other side of Xiliang City. Moreover, when they arrived, there was no movement at all in Xuanshui Village. It was strange!
