Chapter 877: Customs

Bidding farewell to Baiye Town, Xia Feng and Ying Wuyun got into the same carriage and drove to Dongzhou Mansion.

The so-called Dongzhou Mansion does not refer to a mansion in particular, but the capital of the entire Dongzhou, that is, a city.

Judging from the entire map of Dongzhou, the geographical location of Dongzhou Province is close to the East China Sea, which is considered a hinterland, and the Dongzhou area faces Kanno Bay in the north and connects with the Xichuan River in the west, so it is of great strategic significance to set the capital in the hinterland.

....

Before meeting Sakura Wuyun, Xia Feng had been in the Eastern Country for a while, and during this time, he also had a certain degree of understanding of this island country.

As he had predicted, there would be natural disasters and infected people in the eastern country, but compared to the rest of the world, the infected people in the eastern country were not discriminated against.

Actually, there is nothing surprising about this, and if you look closely at this land, you will immediately get the answer.

...

After a person is infected with ore disease, the organs of the body will slowly fail, but at the same time, they will also awaken more or less source stone skills.

Because of the frequent wars and the chaotic social order, the population of the eastern country is extremely mobile.

To put it simply, in a life of hard work with no tomorrow today, who cares about a chronic infectious disease that gradually fails an organ and has a chance to gain "strength"?

Compared with some vicious plagues caused by war, the ore disease is really not too terrifying.

....

This is the difference in the degree of development of civilization, and it has nothing to do with race.

Just like Victoria, Sami, Colombia and other big countries, because the country has a developed economy, the living standards of residents are generally higher, and at the same time, the perfect political and legal system can ensure their personal safety, life and property safety.

In this case, people no longer have to think about survival, and it is natural that the value of their own lives is higher.

Famine, cold, war, thieves, when all these existential threats are gone, the problem of the infected is infinitely magnified.

Because, this is the only thing that will harm the interests of ordinary people.

....

In contrast, the extremely closed Dongguo is more pure in its treatment of the infected.

If you are unfortunate enough to be infected with an ore disease, the infected person will not be expelled, and even if you don't say it, almost no one knows about it until the source stone crystals appear on the surface of the body.

There is no universal medical testing for ore disease, and your neighbors will not suspect you of being infected just because you have a yellow face and thin muscles.

People are more afraid of war than of the invented, of being forcibly conscripted into the army in the prime of their lives, and of forcibly taking away all the food for the winter.

....

....

On the way to Dongzhou Mansion, Xia Feng saw many villages along the way.

It's the height of summer, and it's also the golden age for the growth of grains and grains, and looking at the farmland bathed in the sunset, it's quite a bit of a flavor.

However, there are always times when you are tired of enjoying the scenery.

Judging from the distance, Xia Feng felt that it was about the same distance from Victoria's Harpy City to Yehua City at most, but this broken carriage had been running for several days.

During this period, Xia Feng and Ying Wuyun went from being friends who respected each other like guests to being good friends who talked about everything.

It can't be helped, after all, there are only two people in the carriage, and it would be too embarrassing if they didn't speak.

...

In order to pass the time, the two talked about mathematics from martial arts, and from sunset to the universe.

Although Ying Wuyun seems to be a shrewd enough person, his knowledge is too narrow, and in the face of the novelties that Xia Feng said, the whole person was stunned when he heard it.

Because the eastern country is extremely closed, and the trade interaction with overseas is basically stagnant, of course, the source stone technology here is very backward, which can be seen from the fact that the eldest young master of the Sakura Warrior family went out to take a carriage.

Listening to these high-end products that Xia Feng said, Ying Wuyun muttered.

"A steel mill with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of tons...... Huge freighter powered by source stones............ Shift.... Moving the city? ”

Xia Feng was a little surprised.

"Brother Yun, haven't you heard of Mobile City?"

"I heard that a few years ago the head of the house received businessmen from Longmen, but when they said about the mobile city, I thought they were bragging.... I didn't expect it to be true. ”

Seeing Ying Wuyun's appearance, Xia Feng seemed to see that when he was a child, when he thought that the Xiaobawang game console was the most fun thing in the world, he suddenly heard that the neighbor's child experienced an anti-terrorist CS in the Internet café opened by his aunt.

It turns out that characters can not only move flatly, but also rotate in 3D.

Sakura thought that the huge city would not only need to be rooted in the earth, but also move through the wilderness.

....

"Brother Yun, you can go to the outside world to see if you have the opportunity in the future, hey, in fact, there is nothing to see, I think Dongzhou is very good, at least the air is good."

Sakura Wuyun nodded a little disappointed.

"Well.... Brother Zhang, can you tell me something more about Source Stone Technology? ”

"Absolutely."

The two chatted day and night, except for the time when the horses rested, almost all of them chatted about the stars and the sea.

During this period, Sakura Wuyun also introduced a lot of things about Dongzhou to Xia Feng, who had just come to Dongguo.

...

Because of the closed information, the information of Nishikawa and Kanno Bay is not accurate, and only Higashizhou is accurate.

According to Ying Wuyun, the entire Dongzhou has a population of about 2 million, with 9 large towns, more than 50 townships and countless villages.

According to Sakura Takeun, Dongzhou is the most populous region, and it can be inferred that the population of the three states in the entire eastern country combined is about 5 million.

This population is not even a quarter of Victoria's, but to Xia Feng's surprise, if the Sakura Sakura Warrior forcibly recruits soldiers, Dongzhou's population of 2 million can gather close to 600,000 soldiers in a short period of time.

This is a very outrageous ratio of soldiers to civilians, that is, as long as the head of the family is determined to fight, then everyone in the territory must serve the war.

Men of all ages, as long as they can wield knives, must go to war.

Women and the sick and disabled must also do everything they can to provide military supplies, even if they themselves starve to death.

Of course, at present, the Sakura samurai's permanent strength in Dongzhou is only maintained at about 100,000, and Dongzhou has not had a large-scale war for many years except for a small friction at the junction with Xichuan.

.....

Ying Wuyun's explanation was very detailed, and he even specially helped Xia Feng analyze the current situation.

To sum it up, it is a sentence, the surface is peaceful, but in fact, it is a little bit.

The Nishinomiya family, which rules Xichuan, has just changed heads this year, and he is a young and vigorous guy, so I'm afraid the situation will change greatly this year.

....

To be honest, the "customs and customs" of the eastern country made Xia Feng feel very novel, and the situation of the Sakura samurai family was more in line with the needs of those "aspiring people".

After all, there are difficulties to reflect value, and war is the examination room for testing samurai.

It's just that these things don't have any tension and excitement in Xia Feng's ears, and he can see that Ying Wuyun really admires him, and also regards him as a brother who will fight side by side in the future.

It's a pity that he is destined to live up to this Brother Yun's expectations.

Identity?

Status?

Money?

Belle?

If he really wanted these things, he didn't need to leave Victoria and come to the distant and strange eastern land.

All he really wanted was a reason to sleep peacefully in the dead of night.
