Xiang Wei felt very unlucky.
As the special envoy of the Northern Steel Alliance, Xiang Wei felt that he had taken on a hard job.
Due to the failure of the battle with the Federation, the Northern Steel Alliance lost hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land.
This kind of injury is definitely very damaging to the alliance.
In order to maintain the stability of the ruling foundation.
As a result, the Northern Steel Alliance could only "confess the princes" in exchange for the surrender of various warlords and armed forces, so as to ensure the stability of the core territory.
At the same time, in order to mobilize more people to fight against the federal aggression, the Northern Steel Alliance issued dozens of appointment orders.
A large number of large and small warlords took this opportunity to emerge!
These orders require someone to represent the will of the Northern Iron Alliance to be delivered to various places.
Originally, this must be a good job. After all, the new governor who was appointed would definitely not treat the envoy who came to announce the title badly.
And those who come as envoys will also receive considerable rewards.
But Xiang Wei would be very unhappy if this matter happened to him!
Because the place he was chosen to go to was the Tuo Di Wasteland in the far west.
In Xiang Wei's impression, the wasteland is a barren land where birds do not poop, a place so poor that it makes one's heart ache, and even if a robber comes there, he will call his mother with tears streaming down his face.
What is the difference between being sent to that kind of place and being sent to the army?
and……
Tuodi is still the westernmost part of the wilderness!
Xiang Wei couldn't even find this place on the map.
Poor Xiang Wei spent a lot of money in bribes in order to get this so-called lucrative job.
what is this?
what is this?
It’s just a matter of digging a hole to bury yourself!
So Xiang Wei wanted to cry but had no tears.
The scenery along the way was indeed what Xiang Wei saw.
This place in the wasteland is really too poor.
Barren beyond human imagination.
Along the way, only Sweetwater Town looked like a town.
But that's all.
Just when I thought I was unlucky on this errand, a majestic city appeared in front of Xiang Wei.
See this city…
Xiang Wei's eyes almost fell out.
It's incredible.
Such a majestic city suddenly appeared in front of Xiang Wei.
"How can this be?"
Looking at the huge city beyond the horizon, Xiang Wei exclaimed.
Just in time!
A motorcade was speeding towards this side.
The team continued to be in order, and Xiang Wei was even more confused when he appeared in front of him.
Looking at the paintings of these motorcycles, Xiang Wei felt a little doubtful about life.
There is no other reason!
Just because these locomotives are clearly equipped only for the main army in the Northern Steel Alliance.
this……
Xiang Wei was so shocked that he was speechless.
"Your Excellency, are you from the Northern Steel Alliance?" the leader of the convoy asked.
"Yes, it is."
Xiang Wei's speech was a bit awkward.
"Very good. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me. Our city lord is waiting for you."
After saying that, the driver couldn't help but pull Xiang Wei into the car.
This bandit-like behavior made Xiang Wei uncomfortable, but Xiang Wei was on someone else's territory, so he had no way to refuse, so he had to be pulled into the car obediently.
"How did you know I was coming?"
Xiang Wei exclaimed.
The rider chuckled and said, "When you crossed the border river, the people over there already informed us."
The convoy drove toward Longshan in a mighty manner and soon entered Longshan City.
Today's Longshan City can be said to be changing day by day, and its development speed has far exceeded imagination.
Xiang Wei found it incredible that such a vibrant and dynamic state where all things competed.
"How could such a miracle exist on such a barren land?"
Xiang Wei exclaimed.
…
The convoy entered the city, and Xiang Wei soon met the city lord of Longshan City.
This is a young man with a heroic face, scolding Fang Qiu at a construction site in the city, and having an intense discussion with a group of people.
"The idea of this design drawing is wrong, it should be like this." Song Ziyu was gesturing towards Bai Xun.
The old Bai Xun listened quietly as if he were a student in front of Song Ziyu. Behind Bai Xun, a group of people were working hard to take notes.
"So what should this component look like?" Bai Xun asked.
Song Ziyu thought for a while and said: "I will draw a concept map for you..."
With that said, Song Ziyu picked up the pen and started drawing on the slate.
Others were all looking forward to it, fearing that they would miss something.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Wei was a little stunned.
"This Mr. Song Ziyu is the city lord of Longshan and the leader of the Tuodi Wasteland Alliance. If you have anything, just tell him." Lu Weian, who was in charge of picking up the people, said to Xiang Wei.
"Hello, I'm Xiang Wei from Hanging City. I'm here to meet City Lord Song... City Lord, you are really young and promising. I thought you must be an older man anyway, but I didn't expect... Ouch." Xiang Wei's words were astonishing, causing everyone present to be stunned.
"What didn't you expect?" Song Ziyu looked at Xiang Wei with a burning gaze, as if he was going to eat someone if he was not careful.
Xiang Wei smiled awkwardly and flattered him: "I didn't expect you to be so young and heroic. I didn't know what it means to be a hero until I met you... Longshan prospered under your rule???????" ?????????Rong, it really opened my eyes.”
When Song Ziyu heard this, he laughed and said, "Brother, your level of flattery is at least a deputy department level. It's amazing."
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after Song Ziyu explained a few words to Bai Xun, he put down what he was doing, and then invited Xiang Wei to walk towards the inner city of Longshan.
Walking all the way through the streets and alleys to the residence at the top of Longshan Mountain, Song Ziyu ordered people to serve wine and food to welcome the envoy from the north.
A relatively rich meal was placed in front of Xiang Wei and his men, and then he opened the door.
This meal may not be a big deal in the Northern Iron Alliance, but in this wasteland, it is the best meal that several people have ever had. In addition, everyone has been hungry for a while, so they couldn't help but start gobbling it up. .
Song Ziyu sat aside and smiled as he watched several envoys grab food. This scene made Song Ziyu feel very happy.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, when everyone had almost eaten, Song Ziyu asked: "You have come all the way, what good news have you brought to me?"
After hearing Song Ziyu's words, Xiang Wei pretended to be reserved and wiped his mouth, then took out an appointment order from his arms and read out: "Based on the needs of the development of the Northern Steel Alliance, Song Ziyu is appointed to be the governor of Longshan to command the Tuodi Wasteland. , under the control of Gongsun Congyun, the high-ranking warlord of Tianshui Town... I hereby have the responsibility to defend the land and exploit it to judge my merits."
After reading it out in a measured tone, Xiang Wei handed the appointment order to Song Ziyu, and then said seriously: "Congratulations, you will be a person of status from now on. Including you, there are only three governors in this wasteland. , City Lord Song, you have done another great job."
Song Ziyi touched her face when she heard this, disapproving in her heart.
He looked down upon the name of a mere warlord.
And to take a step back, the land of Longshan is originally one's own. It is of no use whether it has the blessing of this governor.
In this one-third of an acre of land, everything is under my control.
So, watching Xiang Wei's performance, Song Ziyu felt like laughing.
Song Ziyu, who had some bad taste, decided to play with this messenger.
So Song Ziyu solemnly put away his appointment order, and then said to Xiang Wei: "Messenger Xiang, as you know, my side is close to the westernmost edge of the alliance, and the responsibility of defending the territory is very important... I don't know how many weapons the alliance plans to support us. Ammunition and manpower?”
Hearing this, Xiang Wei, who was complacent a second ago, was dumbfounded on the spot.
This is not according to the script at all!
"This..." Xiang Wei didn't know how to answer, because he couldn't bring out any bargaining chips, because the alliance didn't give him anything except an order of command.
Seeing Xiang Wei looking so embarrassed, Song Ziyu smiled happily.
"Forget it, I know it's not easy for you, so I won't embarrass you. Come on, bring the gift I prepared to the envoy." Song Ziyu said to his subordinates.
Soon, several men brought three bags.
Song Ziyu opened the first bag, revealing the gold items inside.
The total amount of these gold items weighed at least a dozen kilograms, and they were piled in a bag with dazzling yellow and orange colors.
Because it is impossible to travel through time, the gold collected from Miluo City and the wasteland has no effect on Song Ziyu. It is good to pile it up in the warehouse to occupy space and use it as a favor.
Seeing these things, Xiang Wei's eyes lit up.
Gold may have little purchasing power in the wasteland, but the situation is completely different in the Hanging City.
"Oh, why is this so embarrassing?" Xiang Wei said while rubbing his hands, unable to move his eyes away.
Song Ziyu smiled and didn't care, reached out and opened the second bag, which contained some jade.
These jade stones were all brought out during mining in the settlements under Song Ziyu's command. They would not be of much use if they were kept, so they might as well be given away.
Xiang Wei's smile became even brighter when he saw the jade. These things are also very useful in the Hanging City.
However, what Song Ziyu really cares about is the third bag...
Song Ziyu retreated and opened the bag himself, which contained some nut-like things.
"What is this?" Xiang Wei picked up the nut and took a look at it curiously, and then his expression changed slightly: "Could this be a seed?"
"Show the messenger a good eye." Song Ziyu said: "These are Liangshu seeds."
"Liang Shu?" Xiang Wei murmured: "I've never heard of it, what's the use?"
Song Ziyu said: "The staple food you just ate was sweet potato. How do you feel?"
"Sweet and delicious, very filling." Xiang Wei replied.
"Yes, Liangshu is a unique crop in Longshan, which can help people feed and clothe themselves." Song Ziyu explained calmly.
"Oh, I wonder how the output is?"
Xiang Wei was obviously not interested and just asked casually.
After all, when he reaches Xiang Wei's position, he doesn't care about simple things like food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Xiang Wei cares more about power and women...
However, Song Ziyu's simple answer made Xiang Wei break his defense.
"There's nothing special about this thing. It's just a good plant and the yield is... It can easily yield more than a thousand kilograms per mu."
Song Ziyu said.
"What did you say?" Xiang Wei was immediately surprised.
"I said this thing is easy to grow and can grow in harsh and barren soil." Song Ziyu said.
"What's the production volume?"
Xiang Wei asked again.
"It's just over a thousand kilograms. If the soil is good enough, the yield per mu can be two thousand kilograms." Song Ziyu said with a smile.
"This is impossible!"
Xiang Wei couldn't sit still anymore and shot up from the stool.
"What about the planting conditions?"
Xiang Wei suddenly asked: "Can it be planted on radiated soil?"
Song Ziyu said: "You have also seen the situation in Longshan. Hundreds of thousands of hectares of land outside the city are all covered with this kind of crops, which can feed the entire settlement and even the entire Tuodi wasteland. This is no joke."
Xiang Wei stared at Song Ziyu with an incredulous expression on his face: "Are you sure that food grown on irradiated soil is edible?"
Song Ziyu said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? You have already eaten it just now."
Xiang Wei's face looked a little bad when he heard this, and he seemed to want to vomit.
Song Ziyu said with relief: "You don't need to make a fuss. The advantage of this kind of crops is that the food grown can be eaten. The reason why Longshan can develop like this depends entirely on this kind of crops."
At this time, the senior officials of Longshan who were accompanying him all said that they were just living on this and nothing happened.
This time, Xiang Wei was not calm at all.
His face looked uncertain.
Because he suddenly understood that the seeds in his hands were of immeasurable value.
The Northern Steel Alliance has a vast territory and many subordinate forces under its rule, but similarly, there are more people who are hungry... If there are these seeds, wouldn't the entire Northern Alliance be able to escape the torture of famine?
Thinking of this, Xiang Wei's heart was filled with strong feelings.
