"A sneeze"
Li Mu, who was galloping on the plain, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and felt a little weird. After all, as a perfect monk in the Infinite Realm, it was almost impossible to have a fever or cold.
"Could it be that someone is saying bad things about me? I wonder if Qingzhu and Xiaoyu have received the letter I wrote. Sister Ruolan has a good relationship with them and they should be able to get along well. Qingzhu must be fine. They asked me before Don't let Sister Ruolan down, now that we know that we are all sisters from now on, we will definitely be very happy."
Li Mu was sneezing "strangely" while thinking about a happy and happy life in the future alone. The terrain in front of him gradually lowered, the blue coastline slowly came into view, and the majestic and familiar city rose. After a long time, He finally returned to the hometown where he was born and raised.
"Huh? Why are the city walls being built here? The machines used are the same as those in the Imperial Capital. They are all driven by energy stones. They should come from the exit of Penglai Immortal Kingdom. As expected, it is not advisable to close the country in isolation. Only by communicating more with the outside world can we learn from each other's strengths."
Li Mu looked at the construction site in full swing from a distance, sighing at the power of science and technology. He couldn't help but admire Huangfu Qing's foresight. However, when he came closer to the city wall, he realized that he had underestimated the Cangyun Empress. courage.
"These craftsmen and machines are not building city walls, but demolishing them. Oh my god, are the entire city walls of Qinglan City going to be demolished? Isn't that the same plan as those super cities on earth?"
He was shocked at first, but Li Mu soon understood the purpose of demolishing the city wall. Today's Qinglan City is the first special open zone of the Cangyun Empire. The liberalization of trade has reached its peak here, no matter where the people or goods are. , and even more specific currencies and assets can be traded very smoothly.
This kind of forward-looking attempt is rare not to mention in the relatively closed Cangyun Empire, even in the entire fairy world. It requires strong self-confidence and control over the country to achieve, including the formulation and details of the plan. The considerations are extremely complicated, and this city wall is obviously the first object to be changed.
Based on the current social ecology of the Immortal Realm, 99% of cities or strongholds will choose to use towering walls to divide areas. On the one hand, it is a good defensive fortification against foreign enemies, and on the other hand, it can better manage the population in the city.
But this kind of design is completely contrary to the "comprehensive openness" in Huangfu Qing's mind. Now that he has made up his mind to build a free and open city, the city wall that symbolizes barrier has completely lost its meaning of existence.
After demolishing them all, not only will the land planning of Qinglan City no longer be restricted, but it will also send a signal to the people of Qinglan City and other forces in the fairy world who are concerned about this special open area, that is, I have opened the door and shown My greatest sincerity, who can get the first wave of bonuses in the open area depends on your actions.
In most cases, the activity of a market depends on the outside world's confidence in it. Huangfu Qing's series of policies first made a name for himself in the fairy world, and then he launched the Qinglan City Open Zone. Putting the interests in front of everyone, the final result can be imagined.
This was verified with Li Mu's own eyes after he entered the city. Qinglan City, which was originally a port city, was already quite lively, but compared with the current crowded scene, it pales into insignificance.
Without the concept of city gates, many caravans and travelers coming from the inland no longer need to go through complicated procedures to enter the city. The goods unloaded from the port can also be transported directly out of the city. It is not yet noon, and all the gates are open. The street was already bustling with people, and it was comparable to the busiest pedestrian streets in Li Mu's previous life.
Li Mu had a special identity. As the hero who saved Qinglan City, he also thought about whether he should put on a disguise mask in advance when he came back this time, otherwise it would be bad if he would cause a sensation and riot like those traffic stars in his previous life.
But when he actually set foot in the city, Li Mu realized that his worries were completely unnecessary. There were so many people of all kinds coming and going on the road, including many foreign travelers wearing strange clothes. His return rate was definitely low. Occasionally, When local people recognized him, they would only excitedly come forward and shake hands to express their respect.
.
"It seems that people in the fairy world are quite calm. I remember seeing a news story before, saying that a male celebrity was eating in a shopping mall, which attracted thousands of fans to watch. In the end, the police came to help escort him out of trouble. "
Li Mu's original plan was to go straight to the Li family's residence to meet the elders Li Yubai and Liu Ruoying, and then have a small gathering with Li Yue and Chunxiang. However, when a strange fragrance floated in the air, he instantly... Some can't walk anymore.
"This... this smell can't be Dahuchun's fried buns, right? Also, this elegant and refined osmanthus fragrance must be the wine-filled dumplings from Rose Square. Ahhhhh, I'm so hungry, otherwise Let’s go eat something first before going home, and then pack another portion for Father and the others to take with them.”
Li Mu, who was so excited by the delicacies of his hometown, spent a breath of time to complete the fierce ideological struggle, and then turned around and walked into a food street with various snack stalls.
The pan-fried buns are sizzling in the large black round pan. The white and translucent glutinous rice dumplings are covered with the porcelain bowl under the viscous soup. There are seven or eight layers of bamboo steamers. White steam and the aroma of meat filled the air. The octogenarian was immersed in a bowl of spicy pork noodles with red soup, while the child with a yellow mouth and two braids was enjoying the sweet red date mille-feuille cake in his mouth.
There are also exquisite little wontons under the seaweed egg skin, and the salty tofu that is only fragrant from the hot fried dough sticks. Looking up, there is a pancake seller with a shovel in one hand and green onion in the other. He turns around and leans into the oven to take out the caramel sugar. Creampie guy.
Li Mu lingered in front of each stall. He had a big appetite as he was in the Infinite Realm. He tasted every delicacy from his hometown until his stomach became a little chubby before he burped and stopped.
"Qinglan City is better. Familiar smells, familiar land, and familiar people."
Li Mu looked around at the bustling scene and couldn't help but feel glad that the final winner of that brutal battle was his side. It would be a real pity if such a beautiful place really fell into ruins.
"Teacher Mubai, Miss Xia, Senior Sister Liu, have you seen it? This scenery is just as you expected."
