Building a New World

Chapter 1414: Barren land

The Principality of Tharos crosses the hub between the Macedonian Empire and the island nation of Eland.

This location is a very good country, but the whole country looks particularly desolate.

From entering the territory of the Principality of Tai Ruo, Jia Zhengjin and others saw only an endless wilderness on the road. Except for pedestrians and merchants who follow the road like them, it is difficult to see the cities in the Principality of Tarius, let alone civilians!

The wilderness is full of weeds to the calf position, but even the weeds are all yellow, and it seems that the eyes are malnourished.

A tree can't be seen within a thousand miles, not even small saplings.

Apart from that layer of yellow wild grass, this place seems to be no different from the desert.

Such a desolate land, is it really inhabited and still establish a country? What do they test for survival?

Walking on the wasteland is very tiring, as can be seen from the pedestrian groups on the road, especially the road is tortuous, even uneven, and not even at all. When going uphill, the carriage was very hard.

Fortunately, Jia Zhengjin and his team are all flying mounts, which are much more comfortable than others.

After flying along the road for half a day in the wasteland, I finally saw a huge city in the distance.

Said to be a city, in fact, in addition to the outer stone walls, it is almost a collection of countless backward villages.

Compared with the cities in several countries and regions along the way, should this so-called Principality be considered a poverty zone?

I don't know if there is only this city in the whole country, or there are other cities distributed in other places.

Jia Zhengjin took the team, everyone rode the tiger bee and quickly approached the city.

After leaving Domasan, he found a remote mountain area and built a tiger bee den. Then let Ruruto return to the Holy Dragon City by himself, and the team recruited Tigerweed as a flying mount, making the journey faster.

Arriving near the city gate, it was found that civilians in the city were holding clay pots, queuing through the gate guards to check in and out.

The people who went out were carrying empty jars, and came back with a lot of water, although they struggled and looked happy.

Surprisingly, after entering the city, it was discovered that these civilians actually put the water brought back from outside the city on the side of the road and sold it directly to pedestrians and pedestrians.

What's even more strange is that they don't want money, but instead want to use water in exchange for food, clothing and other living resources.

Of course, there are some stranger things in it. They displayed some huge insect corpses that they didn't know where they were from. Most of them were larvae with little fighting power. They even cooked strange food on the street barbecue, and exchanged for various resources with them.

"It seems that this country is not very rich in resources!" Entering the city, the team walked down. Tina looked at the surrounding scenery and couldn't help saying to Jia Zhengjin.

"It should be said that you can't see any resources?" Jia Zhengjin also constantly looked around. "Probably the water resources are also scarce, otherwise they will not be exchanged for materials."

"Is those insects their food? I don't know where I got them from, can I eat them?" Tina was sick.

Jia Zhengjin thought it was nothing. After all, he was born in a country that could become a gourmet before he crossed: "It may be a wilderness, and some giant insects have dug out of the underground nest. Most insects are used to laying eggs underneath. To allow the larvae to grow to a certain extent and come out on their own."

"It's so desolate at first glance!" Christina whispered to the side.

"This road is really hard to go!" Palin looked down at the bumpy city road without a expression.

"Well! After the cement road is built in the future, there will be no such problem!" Jia Zhengjin laughed.

"Cement Road? Are you talking about the cement road that Lord Keane, the Lord of the Dragon City, asked the entire continent to build?" The conversation between their own husband and wife was heard by a civilian next to him, so he asked curiously.

"Oh?" Jia Zhengjin turned his head to look at each other, an uncle with a beard of about 40 or 50 years old, "You know?"

"Of course!" Uncle Luobeard nodded. "However, we should not build a cement road in the Principality of Tarus."

"Why?" Jia Zhengjin asked in doubt. "This road is very inconvenient. The traffic can be smoother after the cement road is built. Communication with neighboring countries can be closer. Can it help you get rid of your current economic situation?"

"Communication with the surrounding countries?" Uncle Luobeard shook his head, his expression was plain, "Our country has no resources. As you can see, even the capital of the city of Faring is a virtue, everyone can only barely live, there is no capital at all. Doing business with other countries. Because of this, a weak country like ours has never been annexed by other countries. The reason is that such barren and useless land has no benefits after occupation, but has to pay to feed its citizens. A huge amount of money. We don’t need to talk about the economic situation at all, because there is really no resources! No trees, no ore, scarce water, barren land, animals are not easy to feed..."

"Then why do you still stay in this country?" Tina asked curiously. "It sounds like nothing, why not find a way elsewhere?"

"Although the Principality of Tarus ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the people are at least free and not enslaved by the rulers. Life is harder, but it can barely survive. Moreover, the royal family gives the people a certain degree of autonomy. Give dignity to the people. As long as there is dignity, as long as you can barely survive, the people of Tai Ruo Si will be satisfied."

"The demand is really low." Perrin looked at him blankly.

"Haha~" Uncle Luobeard opened his mouth and smiled, "satisfaction and contentment! Are you going to Eland?"

"How do you know?" Tina asked.

"People who pass by here are basically going to the island of Eland. There are almost no people who deliberately come to visit the Principality of Tarius! After all, there is nothing beautiful here except the endless wilderness." Uncle Luobeard smiled, "However, Yi Although the island nation of Lan is beautiful, water resources are also particularly scarce. Don’t look at it as an island country, it is surrounded by the sea, but there is really little fresh water to drink. Even sometimes, people on their side have to go to our Faring City to buy Water. So if you want to continue your journey, you might as well buy some fresh water to prepare."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Jia Zhengjin was very surprised. "Ilan island country also lacks water?"

"Missing! Look at those pedestrians and merchants, which one is not in a hurry to buy water?" Uncle Luobeard stretched his fingers around.

Jia Zhengjin turned to look around, and it turned out that the pedestrian and merchant teams behind him stopped, all bargaining with the water sellers.

"Guest, if you don't prepare some fresh water now, you will certainly regret it!" Uncle Luobeard patted the clay pot in front of him with a smile, "I don't want a high price, just three days of ration!"

"Is this water going to change for three days?"

"Guest, water is precious!"
