Chapter 330: A Rich Stronghold
Gu Yang is in the form of a beast and is also ferocious. But his strength, his strength, let him still have a group of diehards.
In the last days, being strong is the core of survival.
A strong leader who gives them hope. What about paying some price? What's more, they are also part of the privileged class, and they rule over the countless slave-like survivors below.
As long as they can live well, how many people below die?
Even if the other party is a demon, as long as they can enjoy the privileges and live, they can also serve him.
It was this kind of thinking that made the upper echelons of the entire stronghold willing to be driven by Gu Yang.
As for the people below, they have no control, they are just tools in their hands, the cornerstone of their scepter of power, seemingly important, but they are worthless, lowly people they can dominate.
In fact, they seem to have made the right choice.
Gu Yang's coming to power twisted the entire stronghold into one, and the power that erupted made the stronghold change its previous decadent trend and become pioneering and enterprising during this period of time, and the recovery of Zhongzhou City was progress every day.
Gu Yang, who had established his own privileges in the stronghold, was safe and secure in accordance with the travel requirements of the ancient emperors, but considering the population base of the stronghold, the size of his honor guard became much smaller, and the total number of people was two or three hundred.
In addition to this, there were a thousand soldiers armed to the teeth, who belonged to the Imperial Guards and were considered the emperor's guards.
All of this is carried out according to the standards of ancient emperors.
The end of the world has collapsed, and coupled with Gu Yang's bloody suppression, those who oppose it, or those who do not comply, have already fallen to the ground. The stronghold of more than 100,000 people was slaughtered by him.
Under this kind of bloodshed, coupled with the distortion of human nature in the last days, as long as you can live, don't say that you are the emperor, you just want to be the emperor of heaven, and no one will object.
In this way, this system is implemented.
In just half a year, people seem to have gotten used to it, and they have become numb. Even if you are dissatisfied in your heart, you will not show it, after all, this is the end of the world, and you don't need anyone's permission to kill.
Gu Yang traveled, mighty.
All the way to the city wall, a thousand royal guards climbed the city wall, the golden armor, so that in the sun, reflecting a golden luster, it is really windy.
It is not possible to follow the armor of antiquity, but it is also close to seven or eight.
Gu Yang, who is nearly three meters high, stands on this city wall, and he really stands out from the crowd. He was wearing dragon armor, a dragon helmet on his head, bone spurs protruding from his back, like three flags stuck behind his back, and his beastly face made him look like an orc.
The team outside is full of Dongfeng warriors, and after the modification, it is extremely powerful.
What made Gu Yang's eye holes shrink the most was the firepower installed on the Dongfeng Warrior. Especially the towed rocket artillery, each sixteen-round rocket, if it is really covered, has the power to destroy the world.
On the side of the convoy, more than 100 people in SWAT uniforms can be said to be armed to the teeth.
From this alone, we know that the combat effectiveness of this convoy is not weak.
Gu Yang himself is strong, but he doesn't dare to say that he can withstand the power of the Vulcan Cannon, and he may be beaten into a sieve.
"Do you know where the other party came from?" Gu Yang asked, since the establishment of the stronghold, there has been no contact with the outside world, just like an island, not even a survivor of another stronghold.
Now the appearance of this convoy seems to represent that Zhongzhou City has other strongholds?
"Your Majesty, I don't know anything about them at the moment." A guard behind Gu Yang replied.
This answer made Gu Yang very dissatisfied, but he also knew that this was the truth. The other party just popped up so suddenly, who knows the other party's information.
Gu Yang nodded and said, "Send someone to contact them and see what they mean." ”
This convoy will always have a purpose here.
Soon, a new human of the third level came back and reported, "Your Majesty, the other party said that they came to trade and brought two large truckloads of grain. ”
The new human who spoke had a faint sense of relaxation on his face, as long as he didn't come to war. Otherwise, God knows how much it will cost to kill each other with this kind of firepower? How big is the ability to send such a large team?
Hearing the report, Gu Yang even couldn't believe it.
"Are you sure they're here to trade?" Gu Yang asked again, and this subordinate nodded and said, "That's what the other party answered, and the minister also looked at their convoy, and there was indeed a full cart of grain in the back." ”
Gu Yang's eyes narrowed and said, "That's very good." ”
As long as the other side is not hostile, what is the defense of doing some trade? As long as there is contact, it is easy to find out the bottom of the other party.
For Gu Yang, this is a good embarrassment, his ambition needs more support from the people, and the more people, the better. In the last days, the most precious thing is actually the survivors.
"Your Majesty, the other party asks for payment in gold and antiques." The subordinate said again.
"No problem." Gu Yang replied briskly.
As he occupies more of the Nakasu City area, the faster the wealth in the stronghold accumulates.
The current stronghold is not an exaggeration to say that it is so rich that it flows oil.
One-fifth of the city's wealth is gathered in the stronghold, plus what they plundered before, such as gold, there is no shortage at all, and no matter how poor people are, they will have a little, or one or two rings, or three or more necklaces, and diamond rings, which is not surprising.
The increase in wealth was originally a good thing, but in the last days, it is not very good.
The first thing people have to solve is to eat, and it is not a problem to live in the last days, but if you eat, it is not easy. The food was relatively abundant before, and relying on plunder, there was no need to worry about starvation.
Take Gu Yang as an example, he is not short of gold, but he is short of food.
The grain in the city, in six years, has long since deteriorated and rotted, and it is becoming more and more difficult to get food. There are more than 100,000 people in the base, but the daily consumption is amazing.
According to Gu Yang's plan, when his palace is completed, his slaves will be allowed to cultivate the land and produce more food to ensure the daily needs of the stronghold.
Don't underestimate this one, if there is no food, the entire stronghold can collapse in an instant.
"Hahahaha, this trade came at a good time." Gu Yang's face was refreshed, with food, he didn't need to worry about food, and he didn't have to worry about changes in the stronghold.
Gold plays a strong financial role in troubled times, but when you can't even guarantee your life, gold is just a metal.
Gu Yang has a lot of gold in his hands, but in this stronghold, no matter how much gold you have, you can't buy food.
In the last days, the real core is food.
can exchange gold for food, this transaction can definitely be done in the last days, how could Gu Yang not respond?
Soon, the people sent out by the stronghold arrived in front of Lu Chuan.
