Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 131 Road Construction
Time flies, and a year has passed in a flash. During this year, the reputation of the City of Enlightenment spread far and wide throughout the continent. Everyone knows that there is a magical tribe standing in the center of the continent - the City of Enlightenment. The houses here are tall and beautiful, and the streets are wide and flat. The orcs living here have been learning all kinds of knowledge since they were young, and the utensils they make are dazzling, such as pottery jars, iron pots, etc., with various styles and everything. It is said that even the orcs of the Winged Tribe have a deep friendship with them! In addition, the fortifications of that tribe are extremely well done. Although other tribes want to imitate them, they can never catch up!
In the past year, Banmu has flown almost all over the continent, but still has not found any trace of the alien. If it weren't for the guardian beast's assurance that the guy still exists on the continent, Banmu would have given up the search long ago. Cheng Mo occasionally accompanies Banmu on patrols, but most of the time he stays in the city and devotes himself to the development of the city.

This year's trading day, Cheng Mo had people prepare things and decided to go in person. The purpose of this trip was not only to exchange goods, but more importantly to discuss the issue of road construction with the chiefs of other tribes. As the saying goes, "If you want to get rich, build roads first." Only by ensuring that the roads are unobstructed can exchanges between people increase and the economy can flourish.
"Lord City Lord, please go early and come back early!" Many orcs stood at the city gate, watching Cheng Mo leave with concern.
The scale of this exchange team was quite large. They carried almost the most unique items in the tribe. Due to the large number of items they carried, they had to set out on the journey several days in advance.
Along the way, Cheng Mo felt as if his buttocks were about to fall apart, and this pain made him more determined to build the road! The journey was full of hardships. They kept stopping and starting, and after untold hardships, they finally arrived in Cartaya.
Cheng Mo stood on the ground and breathed a long sigh of relief: "We are finally here."
Since they arrived the earliest this time and other tribes had not yet arrived, Cheng Mo led the orcs of Qiming City to occupy the best position and waited quietly for the arrival of other tribes.
In the past, due to the large-scale invasion of wandering orcs, many small tribes perished one after another, causing last year's trading day to no longer be as prosperous as before. Many small tribes disappeared from then on, and Kataya became empty. After a year of recuperation, perhaps this year will be different!
Cheng Mo happily built a tent, which combined the structure of modern tents with the aesthetic style of the Wing Tribe, and looked particularly magnificent. The top of the tent was covered with leaves of various colors, and the door curtain was made of a piece of animal skin, dotted with some small red beads, strung into a totem. This was the totem of the City of Enlightenment. Out of personal preference, Cheng Mo designed it in the style of the Hua Guolong, which looked very majestic.
This tent stands in the core area of Kataya. As long as other tribes arrive, they will immediately come into view and are very attractive. The stalls of the Enlightenment City are surrounded by this tent. As long as you are attracted by the tent, you will inevitably see their trading items. This is also one of their strategies to attract customers.
The next day, tribes arrived in Kataya one after another. As soon as they arrived, they were attracted by the tent. They came to see the tent before they had time to organize their own tribal belongings.
"Wow! What a beautiful house!" A female orc from the tribe walked over with her partner and exclaimed.
His partner scratched his head and said, "It's beautiful, but I don't know which tribe it's from."
Hearing the voice, Cheng Mo lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "Hello, we are from Qiming City, this is our tent."
"Ah, hello, we are from the Wusuo tribe, your tents are so beautiful." The female orc smiled even more brightly and cordially after seeing that Cheng Mo was also a female. The male orc standing behind him, when he heard the name "Qiming City", showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and nodded slightly to show his agreement. Obviously, he already knew the name of Qiming City, and it was not surprising that they had such a beautiful tent.
Cheng Mo listened to the other party talking while silently thinking about the specific location of the Wusuo tribe. He knew that the Wusuo tribe was actually formed by the merger of many small tribes. Because they had been threatened by wandering orcs, those weak tribes were worried that they would become the target of the wandering orcs' attacks, so they chose to either merge into a larger tribe or hide in order to protect themselves. The Wusuo tribe in front of him was the product of the union of many small tribes. At the same time, the chief of the Wusuo tribe was also on the list of people Cheng Mo planned to talk to. Thinking of this, Cheng Mo entertained the two orcs more enthusiastically.
By the fourth day, Cartaya became even more lively. Almost every tribe gathered in front of the stall of the City of Enlightenment. Not all of them came to exchange goods, but most of them came to admire the exquisite tent.
At this time, Cheng Mo was sitting in the tent with a smile on his face. In front of him were the patriarchs of various tribes whom he had invited.
"Everyone! Today I called everyone here mainly to discuss an important matter with you - road construction! I believe everyone present knows very well that the locations of our tribes vary greatly, some are close, and some are very remote. As a result, every time we go out, it becomes a big problem! Take this trading day as an example, I think all the clan leaders must have gone through hardships and suffered a lot to finally get here, right?" Cheng Mo said while slowly unfolding the animal skin map in his hand, and then said: "So, I thought it would be great if we could build a road between each tribe! In this way, it will be much more convenient for everyone to go out in the future, and with more roads to travel, those ferocious beasts will not dare to offend easily, and the road will naturally be safer."
A tribal chief said in confusion: "But we also take the same route every year. It doesn't make much difference whether the road is repaired or not!"
Cheng Mo shook his head, pointed to a point on the map, and said solemnly: "Imagine this, if we just rely on walking, it's fine, but what if we need to carry a lot of things? I believe everyone knows that our Qiming City has a special means of transportation - a carriage. These days, everyone should have seen it. This kind of carriage can not only carry people, but also heavy objects. However, it also has a flaw, that is, when the road is rugged, the use of the carriage will be greatly limited. If you agree to build the road, then our Qiming City will provide a carriage to each tribe free of charge."
When the tribal leaders heard this, they were delighted. They had long coveted the carriages of the City of Enlightenment, but never knew how to make them. Now they only needed to repair the road to get a carriage they had always dreamed of. This was undoubtedly a sure win! So, everyone agreed to build the road without hesitation.
Cheng Mo carefully took out a book with an animal skin cover. Every page of the book was densely packed with details and key points about road construction, making it easy to understand at a glance.
Cheng Mo carefully read the contents of the book word by word to everyone. When he finished reading the last word, he raised his head, glanced around and said, "If everyone agrees with what is said above, please press your fingerprints on the back of this book. Everyone must press it, which represents your commitment to this matter. If someone regrets in the future, then the punishment recorded at the back of this book will befall that person!"
The other clan leaders did not hesitate at all, and stepped forward one after another, solemnly pressing their handprints on the back of the book.
After the seal was completed, one of the tribe leaders picked up the book and asked curiously: "What is this? It looks so special, it doesn't seem to be made of animal skin."
Cheng Mo smiled slightly and replied: "This is not an ordinary book. It is a treasure unique to our Qiming City. If you want to get this book, I'm afraid we need to discuss it separately."
