trustee of the gods

The most important thing is that many resting places ahead are not serious resting places at all.

Even go to the front, sit in a tea shop, dare to sell you one hundred gold coins for a bowl of tea.

If you don't pay or don't drink, it won't be long before a group of bandits will appear in front of you to rob you.

If you pay the money obediently, there is no such a big risk.

Of course, they were accompanied by young people from the village, so they were much safer.

Ordinary bandits would not provoke the people in the village at all, and the group drove for a few days.

The young people in the village are about to go back here, and of course forward is basically a safer place.

This is considered to be barely away from the border of the Heaven Dou Empire, and further forward is the interior of the Heaven Dou Empire, where the law and order are still acceptable.

It's not like before, there are some bandits in almost every other place, and there is no way to do this, after all, many criminals will gather together, and there will definitely be a lot of bandits.

The Tiandou Empire will carry out a cleanup every year, but the effect is not very big.

Because the border here is the Star Dou Forest, and the border here does not border any other country.

There is no need for order and security here, anyway, no one from any country will cross the entire Star Dou Forest to attack here.

There is no need to build any frontier city here, there is no need for defense, there is no garrison here, and the economic development here is not very good, so the law and order here is only maintained at the lowest level.

But starting from here, the law and order will get better and better all the way forward, and there will not be so many black shops on the road.

Liu Er is already familiar with the road ahead, and he has traveled to every place that follows.

The specific situation there is also very clear, and they passed the journey very safely.

"It won't be long before we go to Liufeng City." Liu Er smiled, and there were also many pedestrians on the road going to Liufeng City with them.

After Bibi Dong heard the name of the city, her eyes lit up instantly, and she grabbed Li Yi's hand, as if she felt a lot more at ease.

Liufeng City is located in the southwestern part of the Heaven Dou Empire, and it can be said to be a relatively lush city in the southwestern part.

The trade in Liufeng City in the southwestern part of the entire Tiandou Empire is the most prosperous, and Liu Er came here because of this, where he can quickly sell the goods he has in hand.

At the same time, you can quickly buy all kinds of products you need without any effort and effort.

In other cities, it would take a long time just to buy some mules and horses.

And Liufeng City has such a foundation, which allows him to quickly do various things.

Soon the outline of the city appeared in front of his eyes. The walls of this city were not very majestic.

It is not considered high, but the city gates have been built a lot, extending in all directions.

It would be very easy for anyone to attack this city, but this is the hinterland of the Heaven Dou Empire.

When the city was built, it was not built according to the standard of a military town fortress.

As a commercial city, it doesn't need a strong city wall, because ordinary enemies want to attack, and this already means that the entire Heaven Dou Empire has fallen for more than 80%.

After all, if you want to attack, you can only start from the northeast direction. If you want to go around, you have to go through the Star Dou Forest, and this is impossible.

Flowing Wind City has about 20 residents, and there are villages and towns all over the city. Two rivers flow not far from the city, bringing in countless goods and daily necessities, and taking away other precious goods.

Soon they had reached the edge of Liufeng City, and there were guards on both sides of the city gate.

Li Yi took a look and made a judgment in his heart, although he didn't know what the city lord of this city looked like.

However, judging from the current situation alone, the city is well managed in his hands.

Judging from the city wall, the repairs are complete and there is no damage. Although it is not tall and majestic, it is also very rare.

This is also normal, governing the city also needs to care about money, if you have money, you must spend it wisely

It is impossible for Liufeng City to face any enemy attack. If it can come here, it is better to open the door and surrender than to resist.

Therefore, it is useless to repair the city wall. As long as the city wall can be kept relatively tidy, it will be difficult if there is no such thing as collapse.

What's more important is the sixteen guards guarding the gate, each of whom is equipped with a complete set of armor weapons and sabers.

The height and physique are similar, and the mental state is very good. It can be seen at a glance that he is definitely well-trained.

Although I haven't seen any blood, I definitely have a certain fighting ability.

Li Yi and the others also passed through two cities on the way here, they didn't go in, they just replenished supplies nearby.

In those two cities, neither the city walls nor the training quality of the guards were as good as Liufeng City.

There are soldiers to maintain order, and those who enter the city obviously need to be more orderly.

If you look carefully, you will find that there are still soldiers patrolling on the city wall. Although there are not many people, if there is any emergency, they can quickly call for support.

Li Yi had commanded battles before, and he understood that the power of the organization was enormous.

It may not be possible for a well-trained soldier to defeat three bandits. After all, there is only one man against three men, all armed.

Even if you can guard against two people, as long as there is only one person who stabs you, you will definitely die.

But ten well-trained soldiers can fight thirty bandits, back and forth.

There is only such a big place around people, and thirty bandits rush up without any organization, and if they meet each other, three or five people will be killed by soldiers.

Similarly, with such a gap in numbers, these soldiers can only do so.

Even if you kill the opponent three or five times, there must be damage on your own side, and the result is very likely to be a tie.

But one hundred well-trained soldiers can easily defeat three hundred unorganized bandits.

If the two sides started a life-and-death struggle on flat ground, it would probably be a one-sided massacre.

Li Yi could even imagine such a scene, three hundred unorganized and untrained bandits rushing towards the soldiers with all kinds of weapons.

Spread out on the plain, they may be alone, or they may be in groups.

The soldiers moved in an organized manner with the standard weapons in their hands, or a team of five out of ten people would carry out a targeted massacre of these bandits.

The bandit's maximum loss is 110, and it is estimated that those bandits will basically flee in all directions.

Then there will be a completely one-sided massacre.

Chapter 484 Entering the City

Li Yi originally thought that they would have to queue for a long time, but he didn't expect that Liu Er led them, but instead of going through the front door at all, they passed through a side door next to them.

The side door is relatively smaller than the main door, but it is definitely enough for ordinary people to pass through normally, even with a lot of goods.

The speed is undoubtedly much faster, Liu Er slowly led the mule to the side door, and explained to Li Yi, "Not long after the lord of Liufeng City took office, he built a side door next to the main door.

Merchants who come from afar don't need to queue slowly at the main entrance, but can quickly enter through the side entrance.

What's more, we didn't come at the right time, today is exactly ten days, so all eight city gates are open.

I remember when I first took office, it was announced that there were four city gates reserved for merchants like us.

Even so, sometimes it is still very slow, and it will be much better after having this side door. "

Li Yi nodded after listening. The Lord of Liufeng City is indeed a talent.

Not only are four doors specially reserved for merchants coming from afar, but also side doors are added to share the flow of people.

For merchants, time means that life can enter the city faster and dispose of the goods in hand faster.

The goods are all sold at the same price, or almost, because Flowing Wind City is flourishing in business and close to the canal, the price can be a little higher.

Not only that, but the treatment you get here will be better.

Everyone is doing business, and coming here can save a lot of time.

If you run twice in other places, you might be able to run three times when you come to Flowing Wind City.

The price is still higher, and many reasons lead to the more prosperous development of this city.

Li Yi entered the city gate, and the guards inside did not charge any entry fee, so he was not surprised by this.

Although for the city of this era, the city entrance fee is likely to be a very high income.

But compared to Flowing Wind City, the entry fee is just an insignificant part of their income.

Because buying and selling things here, you have to pay taxes to the city no matter what. Compared with the huge taxes, the entry fee to the city is not worth mentioning.

Rather than doing this, it would be better not to charge it. If you charge the entrance fee, you need a special person to count and observe the position of the gatekeeper.

Corruption is also very likely to happen. In this case, it is better to cut it off from the source.

The purpose of Flowing Wind City is to attract as many people as possible to this city, and absolutely not to drive people out.

Li Yi can see that because of the prosperity of commerce and the continuous development of the city, there is a relatively short population in the city.

To be precise, the prosperity of business brings countless matching careers.

Some people live in the city, and some people want to eat and drink.

After living in the city, it is impossible for a merchant to be busy with such things every day, so these things must be done by dedicated people.

The current Flowing Wind City has plenty of job opportunities, but not enough population.

In this era, population is still very valuable.

Even if the soul master is an aristocrat, so what if he has a lot of land, he must find someone to cultivate it for you.

That's right, some soul masters' soul skills can cultivate a large amount of land alone, and even increase food production on a large scale.

But each of those people is an important weapon for the country, and most of the land still has to be cultivated slowly by farmers.

With a population, they can only pay food by farming the land, and only the city lord's mansion can receive food and use it to maintain their rule.

In many cases, money is useless, and food is the real life-saving needle.

What can make the residents of the city feel very safe is not all the opportunities to make money in the city, but the grain piled up in many granaries, which gives people a heavy sense of security.

There are still many small sects in the current Heaven Dou Empire, but on the surface the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire is the most powerful.

It can't centralize power, but it has the taste of some princes' separation, but the royal family of Tiandou Empire is the most powerful.

After entering the city, Bibi Dong seemed to settle down, as if she had entered a familiar environment again.

Li Yi also obviously relaxed after entering the city. The streets are very wide, but not crowded.

It seems that the lord of Liufeng City also considered the possible increase in the population inside the city when building it.

So the street is built very wide, just build a good one, if the population grows wildly in the future, it will become very crowded.

Liu Ergang and the others were targeted as soon as they entered the city. Doing business in this era, especially this kind of very remote business, can be said to be very profitable.

Even Liu Er resold these goods in large quantities to those other merchants in exchange for the opportunity to sell them quickly.

He can get quite lucrative profits, and after those merchants buy these goods and sell them to other places in the Heaven Dou Empire, the profits will definitely be even more lucrative.

Liu Er was held back almost as soon as he entered the city. Many businessmen and even those who knew him kindly stopped him and called Big Brother when they met him.

And looking at that posture, today he was unwilling to let go, and soon, many people gathered around Liu Er.

This kind of scene can be said to be very rare in the past, and Liu Er understands that it is because of the harsh environment this year.

I was the first to do it, and I hardly encountered any accidents along the way.

Although there were some problems, they were easily solved by Li Yi, which made their journey much faster than others.

His stuff is likely to be the only one here, as long as he is willing to sell it to anyone, that person can easily make a high profit.

Those nobles are not worried about the price of a certain item at all, they are more worried about the scarcity of this item.

Li Yi could see that Liu Er still enjoyed this feeling, he stood here looking at the city.

This city is full of vitality and enthusiasm from head to toe, and everyone is smiling, at least at the time when this city area is developing at a high speed.

No matter what happens in the future, the people here now, as long as they work hard, they will definitely be able to live a better and better life.

At least they are like this, as for their children and grandchildren, that's not necessarily the case.

For the first time, Liu Er was really planning to sell some goods here, and get back a large amount of money first, and at the same time, he was going to take some of the goods to other cities.

This time he wants to try it out by himself, can he find a way to go his own way, sell his goods to those nobles, or send them to other cities, and sell them to the shops in that city, the price will be higher.

Li Yi just watched quietly standing beside the goods without disturbing him.

He was already preparing to settle in this city, and what Liu Er would do next had nothing to do with her.

Because he could see that Bibi Dong probably lived in this city, because he seemed very familiar with this city.

Even if you are not very familiar with it, you have been here many times.
