Because there are black ghosts all over the sky, the Terran territory is mostly large cities. Some legendary cities can reach tens of millions of people. For example, the number of people in Loulan ancient city is 50 million, and the corresponding small barren villages may be less than 500.

The reason why this happens is actually very simple.

Black.

Heisha makes all materials except earth, stone and other ordinary basic materials subject to corrosion.

To build a huge city, it is difficult to rely on earth and stone alone in this extraordinary world.

The huge city built of earth and stone may be able to explode with one blow by the monk of lunjing. It has no defense.

Therefore, most of the city walls are protected by large arrays, mostly built with exotic metals mixed with earth and stone, and so are some infrastructure.

Back to the original question.

The Black Ghost is constantly eroding. The city should not only be built, but also be maintained later, which is a great expense.

So the more prosperous the city is, the more huge it is.

The more people there are, the less the cost of basic maintenance will be shared among everyone.

The barren village is another picture.

first.

The environment of the barren village is dangerous. This dangerous environment means that the ordinary walls have no effect, and it also means that they need more time to harvest materials for their own survival.

Therefore, only the high-rise buildings in the barren village can have private property and build their own stone houses.

The best of the barren villages may merge left and right on the basis of the barren villages, form large villages and gathering places, and develop into small cities.

This process requires not only materials, but also the strong.

In the end, this is a world where great power belongs to itself.

Weizhuang village is the best example of the development of barren village. The last time Wei long went back, many earth houses in Weizhuang village were replaced by stone houses.

Due to the food crops from Damu village, with a relatively stable food source and an increase in population, the villagers of Weizhuang village have surplus materials and have leisure to build their own village.

Otherwise.

In a precarious environment, the means of production are very scarce and can't be built if you want to.

"I found that in addition to our ancient Chinese Chamber of Commerce, there are other forces' funding 'these barren villages." Zhang Zixin took out a document from the room.

Wei long was surprised.

He has long found that the dynastic regime in the world is not qualified, perhaps because this is the reason of the extraordinary world. All problems can be solved by cultivating the strong.

Generally speaking, the energy of the town waste department is mostly used to find talents in the waste village, cultivate them, and finally guard the waste village.

Not to change the ecology of the whole Terran desert village.

There is no profit in doing business in a deserted village. Few people do business.

Most of the strong people who came out of the deserted village directly migrated a village to build a city, rather than changing the deserted village.

However, the meaning of the barren village is to give the wilderness the fire of human civilization.

All moved away, the unknowable land will only continue to expand, even if the steel wall can't stop it.

In fact, Wei Long's thinking is different from ordinary people. "Isn't this a loss making business? Is there anyone else to do it?"

"Yes, some of them are not powerful, but some have persisted for hundreds of years." Zhang Zixin looked a little wrong.

Wei long calmed down after hearing this for hundreds of years and asked, "how long have they found any way to make profits?"

"No, we have found four such forces."

Zhang Zixin said truthfully: "after our secret investigation, they secretly collected the blood of some villagers, and even took away some children whose father died of wild animals in the name of adoption..."

Wei long took over the information collected by Zhang Zixin. The latter continued: "I also want to find out the supporters behind them and tell you. I think it's not easy. Some waste villages that have been 'funded' by them will be strong for the time being, but if they are traced back to a hundred years later, some waste villages will either be merged or encounter other accidents."

Wei long was silent after reading the information collected by Zhang Zixin.

No one knows the barren village better than him. Once his father dies in an accident, many mothers will remarry, while some children can be taken care of, and some are not recognized by the men whose mothers remarry.

If the village is strong, it will raise the children to adulthood.

The strength of the village is poor. Those children without their father will only live and die.

It's cruel.

But this is a deserted village.

Never gentle, even terrible.

It's not surprising what happened in that kind of isolated desert village. If it weren't for the supervision of the township Waste Department, the dynasty had always maintained its control over the desert village, and many things would go too far.

The people in the deserted village are very bitter.

It's hard in a deserted village.

It's hard for everyone to live.

But after all these difficulties and hardships, there is still darkness and no conflict with the desert village.

"If those children were really adopted, it would be a good thing." Wei long sighed after reading the information.

As for those abandoned villages that declined after being funded, he didn't pay attention to them. There were countless risks in the abandoned villages. It was normal to prosper and decline from time to time.

"What doubts do you have about them?" Wei long asked Zhang Zixin.

Zhang Zixin thought, "I just smell a hint of conspiracy. They have done some strange things, not only in barren villages, but also in some remote towns. No one cares about those places at all. Even the town waste department is just a passing show. No one knows what they have done."

"That's a black box. No one can see the operation inside."

Zhang Zixin said: "after the expansion of our chamber of Commerce, you and I all know the cost of doing business in barren villages. It's a big hole. I don't think anyone will do this for a long time."

"Do you think I'm special?" Wei long smiled and felt that Zhang Zixin thought a little more.

"You are special, you are a real genius, a peerless genius."

Zhang Zixin was very serious. "I didn't recognize you doing business in the barren village at the beginning, but recently I gradually understand. Maybe we lost in business, but from the perspective of Dongtian, our control over the edge of Nanhuang even rose to the Terran level, slowly improving the quality of ordinary people, and we made money."

"Only by continuously improving the quality of the deserted village, more children can eat and have a childhood, can more talents emerge."

"But there are only a few geniuses like you, senior brother." Zhang Zixin said.

"Recently, our chamber of commerce also conducted a survey on the deserted village. Less than 50% of the children can successfully live to adulthood, and fewer of them are gifted. And the number of days can grow up smoothly is even less."

"Unless you look so far like senior brother, you are willing to gradually improve the quality of the deserted village, and then slowly improve the quality of the whole Terran. I can't think of the reason why other forces work so hard and thankless." Zhang Zixin analyzed.

Wei long thought.

exactly.

To tell the truth, there are few geniuses like Wei long.

Not only talent, but also vision and pattern.

Few people can grow up smoothly in the wilderness, let alone genius.

Wei Tianhu is already the ceiling of the wild genius.

"Check again." Wei long believes Zhang Zixin's judgment, which is the trust of many years of cooperation.

Wei long then exchanged views with Zhang Zixin, mainly to stimulate Zhang Zixin's potential and help him touch the threshold of Jindan to break through the original bottleneck.

To put it bluntly, it's all kinds of feeding methods.

South wasteland and north land, upper half of Xing'an County, Fengcheng, Liyu building.

Liyu building is an old force in Fengcheng. It is engaged in medicine and wine business. It has a reputation in Fengcheng and even half of Xing'an County. It has been inherited for more than 200 years.

Its main "pear blossom with rain wine" is even more famous in nanhuangdu.

Many strong people, old monsters who have lived for many years, are emotionally dull, but after drinking this wine, they will have a feeling of pear flowers pressing begonias.

Don't think of your first love.

Thought of some beautiful and unforgettable things.

Therefore, Liyu building has a wide range of contacts. Although the landlord is only a strong person in the golden elixir realm, she is exquisite in all aspects. Even the mayor of Fengcheng will give her three thin noodles.

Antique, green bricks and tiles, flowers bloom in the attic garden, and even the air seems to be filled with a faint fragrance of wine, which makes people relax involuntarily.

This is the headquarters of Liyu building.

A not gloomy basement.

An unknown oil lamp was lit. The room was as warm as day. Although there was no sunshine in the whole basement, it was not gloomy.

Flower pillows, small beds. At the bedside, a little boy carved with powder and jade was riding a small Trojan horse. His little fat hands like lotus roots were not exciting, but he still shook and waved.

"Eep eep." the little boy heard the sound of opening the door. His eyes lit up and ran down from the Trojan horse.

Some anxious, directly fell.

But he didn't cry, but stood up neatly and ran to the woman who came in, "aunt... Aunt, Dad... Mom..."

The little boy said something unskillfully, but his words were very clear.

The woman who entered the door didn't look very beautiful, but she was very beautiful. She didn't apply powder, but she had a gentle and pleasant smell.

He smiled and picked up the little boy. "Don't you have fun here? Don't you want aunt Bai Hui? Aunt is so sad..."

Bai Hui's tone is very gentle, which seems to contain inexplicable grievances, and affects the little boy with strange power.

"I want my father and my mother..." the little boy seemed to be very attached to the woman. A struggle flashed in his eyes. Finally, he wanted his father and mother.

"Wang Duoduo is not obedient!" Bai Hui held the little boy's hand slightly hard. A small white candy appeared at her fingertips and stuffed it into Wang Duoduo's mouth, "eat more candy."

"Be good and play by yourself." Bai Hui patted Wang Duoduo on the back.

Wang Duoduo looked at Aunt Bai Hui's familiar and warm face, ate and smiled, shouted candy in his mouth, gave a vague cheer, patted his fat hand, climbed to the small bed, picked up a small doll and played happily again.

"Landlord." Bai Hui went out of the room. A disciple came forward and bowed his head respectfully, "the son of God is coming."

"Let the goat wait."

Bai huileng smiled. He didn't see his kindness and looked cold. "I don't accept children over the age of four, but I want to send Wang Duoduo to me! He wants to intimidate the Wang family and take a share of the mine, but he also wants to catch us! Break the rules!"

Walking out is the corridor. There are many rooms on both sides of the corridor. There are some small windows in these rooms, which can see the inside from the outside.

There are many young children, mostly about two years old, men and women, but their treatment is not as good as Wang Duoduo. More than a dozen are crowded together and seem to fall into a coma.

As Bai Hui walked by, his fingertips were filled with wonder, as if invisible water droplets fell.

This is her special miracle, called "pear flower rain".

From the former landlord, it is also a personal biography of her master. It is used for charm. Some of the children want to wake up, and then fall into a sweet dream again.
