Li Guanqi held Carrot, narrowed his eyes, and looked toward the end of the alley, where the door of a house slowly opened.
A middle-aged "fat pig" wearing gold and silver walked out of the door, adjusting his belt and walking towards the exit of the alley - where Li Guanqi was standing.
[Aliasic level different blood warrior]
"Forehead……"
The middle-aged fat man didn't feel anything at first, but as he got closer, he faintly felt the restrained and powerful pressure on Li Guanqi, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.
It was true that Li Guanqi had dispersed the orifice sealing technique, but he did not completely unleash his pressure, but instead suppressed and restrained himself normally.
There is an advantage to this.
Ordinary people can't even notice it.
Even the alien-blooded warriors can't feel it even if they are far away.
So it won't cause any trouble to others.
But if he gets closer, Wufu can feel the pressure on Li Guanqi.
Low-level samurai will find themselves untouchable.
A four-elephant level warrior will be able to tell that this is a being of the same level as himself.
This can save a lot of trouble.
For example, this fat man with the Liangyi level realized that he couldn't afford to offend the big man with white hair and blue eyes after he got within ten meters of Li Guanqi.
"..."
The fat man hesitated for a moment and realized that Li Guanqi, who was standing at the exit of the alley, had no intention of giving way. He immediately turned around, jumped three meters high, and jumped over the alley wall.
Li Guanqi's face remained expressionless from beginning to end.
His super hearing is still in effect.
After turning a deaf ear to the moans in the surrounding houses, the voice from the wooden house at the end of the alley sounded again:
"Qingqing, you can come out now. Let's go. Mom will take you out to eat delicious food."
This was the gentle voice of a woman, the one she was talking to that fat pig just now.
"Mom, did you cry just now? I heard..."
This is the immature voice of a little girl, very small, probably no more than 5 years old.
"Hmm?! Qingqing! Didn't Mom ask you to wear earplugs?! Why are you so disobedient!"
The woman seemed angry.
"come over!"
"Crack!"
The woman seemed to be hitting the little girl. In addition to the slaps, the girl was also crying.
But soon, the applause stopped.
This time, it was not just the little girl who cried, but the woman herself.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Qingqing, mom is just... just... in short, when mom asks you to wear earplugs from now on, you must not take them off, do you understand?!"
"Well, well, Qingqing understands."
"Okay, okay, stop crying. Let's go. Mom will take you to eat something delicious."
"Um……"
"Squeak——"
The door of the wooden house is open.
A young woman in coarse linen clothes held a little girl with red eyes and some tears in her arms. After locking the door with her backhand, she walked toward the exit of the alley where Li Guanqi was.
"S-lord?"
The young woman held the little girl in her arms, walked up to Li Guanqi, and said slightly hesitantly.
She is just an ordinary human being and cannot sense the pressure that Li Guanqi deliberately restrains.
However, Li Guanqi's white hair still clearly showed his identity as a warrior - many different-blood humans have hair and eye colors that are different from ordinary people.
"Buy more food for the child."
Li Guanqi took out a 100-yuan note from his space necklace and gave it to the little girl.
A long time ago in the strange world, there was an economic revolution. Among the various countries, the powerful people at the Jiugong level united and established gold coins as the world's unified currency.
The banknote form of gold coins - money tickets were also unified.
The money tickets Li Guanqi obtained in Southern Xinjiang can be used in Daluo and the Sakura Shogunate.
After giving the little girl a hundred yuan note, before the woman could thank her, Li Guanqi took Carrot and left the place.
"Thank you, thank you, sir!"
The young woman was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing and quickly bent towards Li Guanqi's back to thank her.
"mother……"
However, at this moment, the little girl in her arms poked her in the face.
"What's wrong, Qingqing?"
The woman looked at her daughter with some confusion.
"!"
Immediately afterwards, her pupils shrank, and she quickly reached out to grab the money note that her daughter had rubbed open, and looked around in a panic.
That's not just a hundred-dollar ticket.
Inside the folded hundred-yuan notes, there were also several thousand-yuan notes.
…
…
Who can save all the suffering in the world?
The education Li Guanqi received since childhood and the example his parents have always set have made him want to be a kind and good person.
But he is not a saint and cannot save all suffering.
He can only help a group of people who appear in front of him.
Since he saw it and could do what he could, he would help a few, but... there was so much suffering in the world that he could not save all.
The young Sakura woman who sold herself to raise her daughter is just a microcosm of this Shimono-Honey City.
Li Guanqi took Carrot and walked through the streets and alleys outside Honey City, only to find that the economy of this shogunate city was quite depressed.
The young and strong men were huddled at home, with no work to do.
And women are even more so.
Those who are a little bit pretty are just like that woman, selling themselves to make some money.
At this time, in Honey City, the different-blood warriors and wealthy businessmen in the inner city were living a normal life.
This is strange.
Li Guanqi couldn't figure out why.
However, just when he wanted to find someone to ask... that person appeared in front of him.
"Friend, what do you call me?"
In the dead end of a remote street, stood a middle-aged man wearing a black and white samurai uniform.
[Five Elements Level Alien Blood Warrior]
"Lord City Lord?"
Li Guanqi cupped his fists and saluted.
The five-element-level alien-blood warriors are not just some trash. This five-element-level warrior who appears in Honey City is most likely Xieye, the city lord of Honey City.
"No need to be polite, just call me Kei Takano."
The Lord of Honey City came over, pointed at Li Guanqi's white hair, and chuckled: "To be honest, you scared me at first. I thought it was the Yun family from Daluo who came...
...Haha, don’t blame me for being too strong in association. I just went to the Daluo Dynasty when I was young and was almost broken by a Daluo warrior from the Yun family.”
"Ha ha……"
Li Guanqi also laughed twice, "There are so many different blood families with white hair in the world, and the Daluoyun family is not the only one. Moreover, my eyes are blue, and the Daluoyun family is not the only one."
"That's right."
Takano Kei smiled, and then he did not chat anymore, but quickly got to the point. Looking at his white hair and blue eyes, there was some thought in his eyes, "I don't know what to call him?"
"This is Takeshi Kaneshiro."
Li Guanqi slightly cupped his fists.
He thought about it when he left the nameless valley, and finally chose the name Takeshi Kaneshiro to walk around the shogunate between "Takeshi Kaneshiro" and "Takumi Fujiwara".
"It turns out to be Mr. Jincheng."
Takano Kei looked at him and smiled: "I wonder why Mr. Jincheng came to Honey City? Maybe I can help a little."
"I'm actually here to find someone, but..."
Li Guanqi looked around, looking at the depressed streets of Mi City, with a solemn look on his face, "The news I heard from the outside world is that Mi City is very wealthy, very wealthy... But what I have seen with my own eyes now is not the case. On the contrary, men
Without a job, women even have to do business to support their families."
"Rich? That happened before."
Takano Kei stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes gloomy, "Want to hear it? This story is not long, but for a knight-errant, it may not be that pleasing to the ear."
"I'm a very curious person."
Li Guanqi nodded, "Lord Gaoye City, you might as well tell me."
"Let's talk as we walk."
Takano Kei walked towards the street outside.
Li Guanqi followed closely behind.
After walking a few steps, the Lord of Honey City slowly began his story:
"You must have heard that we made crazy money from the honey trade in the field. We are very, very rich. People outside call us Honey City. Even some locals, or most young people, start to call themselves Honey City.
But I don’t know if you have heard that Honey City’s economy is actually very abnormal.
The people in the city are either individual beekeepers or workers in beekeeping factories, and 99% of their income comes from the honey trade.
In other words, once Honey City's honey business collapses, Honey City's economy will collapse instantly.
And the result of the economic collapse..."
Having said this, Kei Takano stopped, looked at the street not far away, and said in a low voice, "You saw it all along the way."
Li Guanqi then looked around.
There was a group of idle Sakura people, squatting at the intersection, their faces full of decadence.
"Why is this?"
Li Guanqi looked at Kei Takano in surprise, "Why on earth do the people in the city have no jobs?"
"Because work is useless."
Kei Takano stood with his hands behind his hands and said in a deep voice: "Almost all the work in Honey City is related to honey, but now the honey in Honey City is unsalable. A large amount of honey is hoarded in the warehouse and cannot be sold at all.
Even if these people continue to work, keep bees, and produce honey, they can only continue to fill up the warehouse, but they cannot get a single gold coin from it."
Li Guanqi didn't ask any more questions.
Because he knew that the story that Kei Takano was going to tell... "the knights in the world didn't like to hear it" had just begun.
"The honey trade in Honey City is actually not controlled by the palace."
Kei Takano's eyes narrowed slightly and he said slowly: "Since the founding of Honey City 50 years ago, the honey trade in Honey City has been controlled by a sect called the Honey Water Gang.
In fact, it is not so much the shogunate who built Honey City as it was the Mi Shui Gang who built Honey City, gradually expanding it from a barren beekeeping village in the mountains to the wealthy beekeeping city it is today.
All the honey in Honey City can only be sold through the Honey Water Gang.
The boss of the Mi Shui Gang has monopolized all sales channels... Well, actually speaking of monopoly is a bit inappropriate, because these sales channels were originally created by the Mi Shui Gang from scratch and expanded little by little.
In other words, all honey buyers only recognize the honey water gang leader!
Without the Honey Water Gang, the honey produced by the people of Honey City would not be sold at all, and would be seriously unsalable.
Just like it is now.
The Mi Shui Gang is the second shogunate of Mi City.
The boss of the Honey Water Gang is the Little Emperor of Honey City.
Even on many occasions, I, the city lord, have to accommodate myself to the honey water gang leader.
Because of this, the Mi Shui Gang has become increasingly arrogant and domineering. It is not uncommon for members of the gang to bully the market and rob civilian girls.
But I can only let it go.
Because of my strict handling, the Mi Shui Gang will also be dissatisfied, and they will suppress the sales channels, which will eventually lead to unsaleable products for beekeepers and make them miserable.
It is not me who suffers from forced governance, but the people.
So I can only maintain the status quo.
Occasionally, women are robbed, and workers are generally exploited.
But a balance has been reached, and the Mi Shui Gang also understands the scale and will not go too far.
This is how Honey City develops day by day.
In those dark corners that cannot be seen, evil deeds that are unbearable to look at happen.
Where the sun shines, outsiders can only see that Honey City is extremely rich from the honey trade.
It's a balance.
But just a month ago, this balance... was broken."
By the end of the sentence, Kei Takano's face was extremely gloomy, almost gritting his teeth.
"That fool! That fool warrior of the Qingliu family, he wiped out the Honey Water Gang! He even killed the leader of the Honey Water Gang!"
ah?
Li Guanqi was stunned.
The Mi Shui Gang, which controlled the economic lifeline of Mi City, was wiped out...
I see.
Honey City was just a beekeeping village at first. Even if it developed later, it was just a deformed economic area. Ninety-nine percent of the income of the people in the city came from the honey business.
All honey sales channels are controlled by the Mi Shui Gang. All honey products of the common people need to rely on the Mi Shui Gang to sell them, otherwise they will be unsaleable and they will not be able to earn a single gold coin.
but.
The Honeywater Gang was wiped out by a samurai.
Because of this, Honey City’s honey sales channels have completely disappeared. The people of Honey City cannot sell the massive honey products at all. Then the sequelae of this abnormal economic region have also completely erupted - honey products cannot be sold.
The people at the bottom of the city can't make money.
This eventually led to the current economic depression in the city.
Men can't make money.
Women had to sell themselves to different-blood warriors to earn money to support their families.
but……
Something's wrong.
Li Guanqi admitted that he was an economic layman, so he really didn't understand. Is it really that difficult to solve the problem of finding new honey sales channels?
"That stupid samurai!"
Li Guanqi had a question and wanted to ask Takano Kei, but the five-element-level city lord was obviously angry at the moment, and his face was extremely ferocious.
"A month ago, the samurai from the Qingliu family came to Honey City. He heard that the Honeywater Gang exploited workers, and also heard that the little leader of the Honeywater Gang raped civilian girls, and then he directly uprooted the Honeywater Gang.
He killed most of the members of the Honey Water Gang, and the leader of the peak four-elephant-level gang had his head chopped off by him!
However, the honey sales channels and big buyers in Honey City only recognize the leader of Honey Water Gang. Once the leader of Honey Water Gang dies, they will no longer choose honey products from Honey City, but will turn to other production areas.
.
There is no honey city, but there are still a lot of honey production areas.
It is Honey City that needs those merchants, not those merchants that need us.
that's all.
That stupid samurai thinks he is very righteous, thinks he draws his sword to help when the road is rough, thinks he is great!
But he has no idea that the economy of Honey City is entirely driven by the honey trade.
And the honey trade in Honey City is all maintained by the Honey Water Gang. All dealers only recognize the face of the leader of the Honey Water Gang!
Now that the Honeywater Gang has been uprooted by that idiot samurai, and the leader of the Honeywater Gang has been killed by him, Honeycity's honey trade has collapsed, and the economy has been paralyzed!
He thought he had saved those exploited workers.
Little do they know that those workers have now lost their jobs in the honey factory and have no choice but to sign contracts with wealthy businessmen from other places in order to survive. They have to leave their hometowns and accept more serious exploitation.
He thought he had saved those women who were being toyed with.
Little did they know that those women's husbands were either forced to leave their hometowns or squat in the city without jobs. Those women had no choice but to stay in the corners of the streets and earn money by selling their bodies to the warriors, so as to make themselves happy.
The family has enough to eat.
And how did he do it?
After killing people, leave! Leave!
He destroyed the Mi Shui Gang, left the whole mess to the people, and then walked away in style!
Go to hell!
Still a knight?
Totally stupid!
asshole!
nausea!"
At the end of the story, Takano Kei's face was completely ferocious to the extreme, and the ferocious aura in his body was almost solidified.
"..."
Li Guanqi saw this scene from the side and had no choice but to remain silent.
There is no need to ask his questions.
Even an economic layman like him can think of it, how could this city lord not think of it?
Find new sales channels...this sentence is not just a matter of words.
——Mishui Gang is gone, and the original sales channel is gone, so let’s find a new sales channel.
Everyone knows to do this.
But the problem is that this cannot be done by words, but by actions.
The reality is very obvious, just three words.
Not found.
You won't be able to find it for at least a while.
It is obvious that after the demise of the Honey Water Gang, Honey City cannot find a new sales channel that has the appetite to swallow Honey City's huge honey production.
Otherwise, Honey City would not look like what Li Guanqi saw today.
"call--"
Kei Takano took a deep breath and suppressed his violent emotions, but his eyes were still gloomy, "So, sometimes I really hate the so-called knights of the rivers and lakes, because some idiots act without thinking at all and without considering the consequences.
I don’t know that hundreds of years ago, the chivalrous culture of the Daluo Dynasty was introduced to our Sakura Shogunate.
Then, a lot of idiot knights appeared in the shogunate!
They don't really do good at all.
They are just a bunch of selfish people who do things regardless of the consequences.
Why do you draw your sword to help when the road is rough?
Bullshit!
They just do it to satisfy their own selfish desires and to satisfy their own sense of pleasure.
They don't think about the consequences at all!
I have seen too many such things!
I saw someone in Jianglin County raping a common girl on the street. A samurai who called himself a chivalrous man came over and beheaded the evil aristocratic young man with a knife, then patted his butt and ran away.
Then what?
Then the whole family of the peasant girl, a total of eighteen people, was killed by thugs sent by the young master's father that night. All eighteen people, including the peasant girl, were hanged at home!
Because they couldn't find any knights, they could only seek revenge on the whole family of civilian girls!
