Zhang Zixin nodded: That's possible. If that's the case, we may be too late.
He felt very depressed. If this continent was so vast but there was no one on it, it would be too terrifying.
If you want to develop this place, it is not that easy and requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
But generally speaking, there are still too few people in the Qin Empire.
Because the land occupied by the Qin Empire was so vast, the land occupied by each person was too large when distributed equally.
Therefore, even the land of the Qin Empire has not been fully developed, let alone this distant world.
In a place like this, only trade can be done. It is impossible for people from the Qin Empire to come here to develop it?
After all, people tend to be lazy and hate to work. They can live very well in a large empire. Who would be willing to come to this place to suffer?
Unless it is the order of His Majesty the Emperor and sufficient sincerity is offered as a price, then there is still a certain possibility.
But now, are the resources in this place really worth doing so?
Zhang Zixin took out paper and pen and began to record what he saw and heard on the road.
Finally, after walking for a few more days, they discovered that there seemed to be a village with humans ahead. The village with humans looked very great, and one or two thousand people could live in it.
Zhang Zixin and his friends were very happy as they finally saw a village with living people.
So more than 100 of them quickly moved forward and entered the village.
There are indeed a lot of people in the village. Although they did not make a detailed count, Zhang Zixin still felt that the number of people here was similar to his estimate, a total of one or two thousand people.
But after they entered here, the people in the village all looked at them eagerly, as if they were very afraid of them.
Zhang Zixin tried his best to appear more friendly, and then he gestured while speaking: Dear friends, we have no ill intentions.
We are envoys from the Great Qin Empire. We come here to communicate with the countries on this continent and establish trade relations.
We have been walking for several days, but now our food is almost gone. Can you help us cook a meal and sell us some food?
After this guy finished speaking, he found that an old man with white hair and beard in the village quickly said to the people around him: Why don’t you go quickly and prepare food for this distinguished guest from afar!
A girl who looked to be in her teens next to the old man was very dissatisfied: some freeloaders came again, they were going too far.
As a result, before the girl could finish her words, the old man covered her mouth and said: What nonsense are you talking about?
Get ready quickly.
Soon, the smell of food came from the village.
The food was very simple, basically what ordinary farmers in the countryside would eat. There was not a single bit of meat, and the soup was watery, which made people feel very uncomfortable to eat.
People like Zhang Zixin are originally strong men in the army. They have a huge appetite. Basically, every one of them can eat an entire cow a day.
How could they possibly eat such a little bit of watery food?
In almost the blink of an eye, several large buckets of rice and several pots of vegetables were eaten up by them.
But Zhang Zixin himself was only three-quarters full, so he said to the old man a little embarrassedly: I'm really sorry, old man, we are not full yet, can you prepare some more food for us?
Just follow this amount, and three times the quantity will be enough.
Then sell us some food!
As a result, the young girl next to the old man couldn't help but said: You guys are too much. You don't work all day long, but just come here to steal food. Where can we get so much food here?
Do you know that what you just ate is already most of the reserves in our village?
You guys, one person can eat the amount of twenty or thirty of us. You are like pigs. How could we give you so much food?
I also want three times the amount, and there is nothing left.
If you want to steal food, then steal me first.
The girl seemed to be very angry, and when she said this, she looked at him with a longing look, as if she was very aggrieved.
Even couldn't help crying?
Zhang Zixin is also a very kind person. After hearing such words, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Is there something wrong with this place?
The reason why these people want to come to this village to eat is that there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land around this village.
The crops in these fields seem to be grown very well, which shows that these people are definitely not primitive people, but some very intelligent guys.
But these people have such a big harvest, how could they have no food to eat?
The only possibility is that the food produced by these people must have been stolen.
Considering these people and their performance, this may be true.
Zhang Zixin couldn't help but say: I think you must have misunderstood. I am definitely not coming here to eat for free. We have already prepared the money.
Of course, money is different in each world.
However, no matter what world it is, there are two things that are the same, that is, gold and silver.
These two things are universal no matter where you are!
Because these two things are inert metals, they are difficult to deteriorate, which means they can easily maintain their value for a long time.
Now Zhang Zixin and his men have a lot of gold in their hands, and their purpose is to come to this place to trade with the locals.
Now they took out a large gold ingot and placed it in front of the old man.
After seeing the gold ingot, the old man didn't dare to reach out to take it. Instead, he seemed even more frightened. "Sir, my granddaughter is very ignorant. Please be magnanimous and let her go. We really don't dare to take your gold ingot."
Zhang Zixin said, "We ate your food, so naturally we should pay you. This is what we should do. Just take it."
However, at this moment, the people around Zhang Zixin became alert because some of them felt the sound of horse hooves.
Zheng Zibu put his ear to the ground and said after a long while: General, it looks like they are cavalry, about 300 to 400 people!
It seems like it's coming towards us. What should we do?
