Miniature World: I Was Treated As An Ancient God

Chapter 555 The Tang Dynasty, the South China Sea Countries Are All Beggars

quack quack!!!

Not long after, under the leadership of the ark, the group quickly entered the Cape City on the Cape Continent.

As soon as they entered this city, the people present were completely stunned by the scene in front of them, because a majestic city wall appeared in front of them, and the ground was covered with marble slabs, extending in all directions.

People come and go in the city, it is extremely prosperous and lively, and countless commodities come in and out of the city.

More importantly, everyone was full of energy and ruddy, and it didn’t look like they couldn’t eat enough for three days.

“Fake it, how could Tang’s city be so majestic? And it’s just a border city?

Some people were stunned and couldn’t believe their eyes, because even the capital of the country of painting was not so beautiful. It seemed that the entire city had been carefully designed, and each building had its own purpose.

The “face” project must be a face engineer. It must be the local officials who built so many flashy buildings for their own performance. To be honest, what I saw was not a prosperous city, but a building built on the fat of the people and the bones. Luxurious city.”

Someone said sadly.

He believed that in order to build such a majestic city, he did not know how many people died, but for the hobby of those in power, countless families were destroyed, displaced, and killed and injured countless times.

“That’s right, a beautiful city doesn’t matter at all, the most important thing is that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, just like the capital of some countries, it is so beautiful, luxurious, and splendid, but in fact, I don’t know how many street beggars there are , Lu You are frozen to death.” Many people nodded in unison.

They felt that the reason why Cape City was so beautiful must be the work of the local officials, and it must have been built by the local nobles who spent countless people’s money.

“But when I walk around, why can’t I see a beggar on the street? Instead, they are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and there is no one in ragged clothes?”

Someone was instantly stunned.

Because if their speculation is true, then there should be a lot of beggars on the streets, but in fact they have been walking for so long, but they have never seen a single beggar.

“Did we come to a city of nobles? Except for nobles, ordinary people are not qualified to enter the city?” Someone expressed his guess.

“What city of aristocrats (badb)? Judging from your ignorant faces, I guess you all came from the South China Sea.” An old man next to him said with a smile to the group of people when he heard these words.

Are we “so obvious?”

Fang Zhou and others were instantly stunned. They wanted to pretend that they were from other parts of Tang country, but they didn’t expect to be seen by the locals all of a sudden.

All of them were extremely embarrassing. They also claimed to be elite spies, but they were seen through by the locals all of a sudden.

Fortunately, the opponent was not from Jin Yiwei, otherwise they would have been completely cold at the beginning of this game.

“Haha, because people from other sea areas are usually very interested in Cape City, after all, Cape City is just an extremely ordinary coastal city in our Tang country, equivalent to a small city in the fourth and fifth tiers, not worth mentioning. ”

The old man waved his hand and said ashamedly.

what?!

Fang Zhou and the others twitched their mouths. When they first entered Cape Town, they thought they were in the capital of a certain country, but they didn’t expect that this was only a small fifth-tier city within the territory of Tang.

This is too exaggerated.

If it is a first-tier city, how amazing it will be.

“And don’t be too nervous, because there are countless people like you who come here from the South China Sea to seek a living. Every year, a large number of people from the South China Sea can’t stand the hardships of the local life and come here to live. In fact, decades ago, I was originally from the South China Sea, and later settled in this place.”

The old man said loudly.

what?!

Hearing this, Fang Zhou and the others turned green. What they said was that every year a large number of refugees from the South China Sea came to live here in the East China Sea, making the people in the South China Sea seem to be living in a hot and cold place.

The most important thing is that the old man in front of him was actually from the South China Sea, which is really incredible.

“Master, if that’s the case, why do you have to travel thousands of miles to live in this place? Although our South China Sea is not particularly good, we are rich in materials and should be no worse than Tang Guo.”

Fang Zhou couldn’t help but ask.

“Not worse than Tang Guo? You are talking about a joke.”

The old man looked at the ark with a mentally retarded face: “Let’s not talk about the infrastructure, that is incomparable to the South China Sea countries, just talk about the most basic food for ordinary people to survive, do you know that a pound of grain in the territory of Tang country How much? One cent, just one cent can buy a pound of grain.

But in the South China Sea, a pound of grain costs at least ten yuan, and the difference between the two is a hundred times. If there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, and the harvest of grain fails, the price of grain will soar to one hundred yuan per pound in minutes.

He looked at the group disdainfully.

What a joke, “Ah, a catty of grain is only a dime? It’s even cheaper than the price of sand. When did the price of grain get so cheap?”

Some people were instantly stunned, they simply couldn’t believe what the old man said.

“This is naturally due to the extremely developed agricultural technology in Tang. In Tang, there are many grains with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu. There are also divine potatoes donated by the gods, so that the whole Tang has no hunger at all.”

The old man explained: “In addition, the Tang Dynasty completely unified the East China Sea and the West China Sea, making the two sea areas in a period of absolute peace, countless wastelands have been developed, and the fertile land that can be planted has increased ten thousand times.

As a result, the price of food is getting cheaper and cheaper, and basically everyone can afford food. I believe you have also seen that there are no beggars in the city.

In fact, this is quite normal. After all, if you have an ordinary job in the Tang Kingdom, you can basically earn more than 20,000 yuan per month, and it is easy to support a family of three. ”

“Just kidding, what the hell is going on in this country? The price of food is so cheap that it is unbelievably cheap. No wonder a large amount of food is sold to our countries in the South China Sea every year?”

“That’s right, those people from the Tang Dynasty brought over the grain and sold it for five yuan per catty. I thought we made a profit, but these guys made more, fifty times as much. Those businessmen are too blackhearted.

“Also, the price of food is low, and the local people’s wages are also high. An ordinary person can earn 15,000 yuan a month, but in our country, the average person’s monthly salary is only 200 to 300 yuan. Who can make so much money every month except the nobles.”

“Doesn’t that mean that the life of ordinary people here is comparable to that of the nobles? No wonder so many people in the South China Sea run away. If it is me, I am afraid I have to run too.”

Everyone was talking and couldn’t believe it. .
