wasteland ranch

Chapter 84
"I'm a doctor..."

"Okay, I have my reasons for asking you to go." Lin Guiyao waved his hand.

"Can……"

In the middle of the night, I still want to struggle. I basically don’t have to do anything in the village, so why go out and work hard.

"One loaf a day."

"make a deal!"

Wang Bing turned his head away and carefully studied the patterns on the bottom of the plate, and the meeting ended successfully in this funny yet awkward atmosphere.

……

"It's not a peaceful trip to the metropolis this time."

Sitting in the co-pilot, Wang Bing sighed suddenly as he watched the smoke and dust billowing outside the window.

"Well, the attitude of the metropolis is not clear, and we can't solve the tricksters for the time being, but I have to come on this trip."

Lin Guiyao didn't elaborate on the reason, he knew what Wang Bing was worried about.

This time the metropolis suddenly changed the rules and asked their small village to submit a one-time registration fee of 100 million. No one knows how much malice is hidden behind it.

If the big city detains Lin Guiyao in order to grab more profits, the village that has finally gotten on the right track will surely fall apart.

However, one reason for his coming here is enough.

"Well, why is the door so blocked?"

There were hundreds of meters away from the city gate of the metropolis, but Lin Guiyao's car couldn't go any further, the dense crowd blocked the road,

Those people include those who drive the special Humvee of the metropolis like him, there are peddlers with a large amount of goods, and there are fierce-looking mercenaries with various guns on their backs.

But more of them were refugees-like people in ragged clothes carrying big bags and small bags.

At first glance, it looks like a pile of quicksand slowly passing through the huge funnel of the Metropolitan Gate.

"Harvest ceremony."

Taking advantage of the middle of the night and falling asleep in the back row, Wang Bing secretly took out the half of the cigarette hidden in his chest, but just as he ignited the lighter, he suddenly sat upright in the middle of the night, looking around .

"Hey, these people are really immoral, they actually light cigarettes outside our car! It's too bad!"

He quickly spit the cigarette butt between his thighs, and after clamping it firmly, Wang Bing continued to explain to Lin Guiyao with a serious expression:
"Tomorrow is the Harvest Ceremony, and in the next week, all the surrounding territories will send people over to exchange supplies.

"It's also commonly known as... the festival market."

Wang Bing pointed to the group of people carrying large and small bags around him.
"Such as food, seeds, weapons, women, slaves, intelligence, etc., anyone who can be sold will be sold, and, as long as the price is right, there is a high probability that someone will buy it."

"This is also the reason why those refugees are willing to pay 100 yuan to enter the city, but also bring their belongings into the metropolis to give it a try."

Lin Guiyao nodded and sighed:
"Indeed, with such a large traffic flow, everything is easy to sell, but this time, the city fee alone will make a lot of money!"

Looking at the tens of thousands of people outside, the entrance fee of [-] yuan per person can be charged millions, not to mention that this is only one of the eight city gates of the metropolis, it can be said to be a lot of money.

"Hehe, Metropolis doesn't have such a conscience."

Seemingly feeling that the environment outside the car was a bit noisy, Wang Bing sneered and closed the window.

"If you want to sell something at the festival market, you have to pay an expensive stall fee first. Not only that, but if there are goods sold, the seller will also have to pay a [-]% transaction tax."

"Ten percent? Transaction tax?"

Lin Guiyao frowned. The booth fee was understandable, but the transaction tax was a bit too much, and it was still [-]%, which seemed like a double charge.

"Is there no objection?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Lin Guiyao shook his head mockingly,
Negotiate terms with the metropolis?
Innocent!

Whether in terms of economy, population or force, the metropolis has the absolute right to speak, which determines that it is the sole maker of the rules.

If you want to play with it, you have to follow its rules,

Otherwise, you have to be played to death by it.

Didn't he himself have to accept the 100 million blackmail because he was powerless to resist?

Glancing lightly at his ranch system interface, Lin Guiyao curled up his lips, and slowly drove into the metropolis with the crowd.

……

The seventh ring is the outermost and largest ring in the metropolis.
With the help of a large number of demographic dividends, the metropolis forcibly transformed this piece of land into a fertile soil where crops can be grown, and various selected crops were planted to supply the entire city.

Before, Lin Guiyao was only active in the neighborhood of the Seventh Ring Road, that is, the living area. This time, he really saw the true face of the Seventh Ring Road, an agricultural area.

Not far from the road, you can see a large wheat field with no visible edge. The golden wheat ears hang low, revealing the wheat grains that are about to jump out.

Thousands of men holding sickles in their hands shouted chants and harvested the ripe wheat ears quickly.
On the side of the road, the fully loaded wooden carts creaked and were pulled by strange creatures and drove into the distance.

"It was spectacular!"

Looking at this scene of busy farming, Lin Guiyao felt a little familiar. It was a bit like the sight of farmers facing the loess and suddenly running to the American Emperor's large farm wielding a sickle.

"Village chief, tomorrow's ceremony is over there."

Wang Bing patted Lin Guiyao, pointed to a piece of land that had already been harvested,
I saw that the ground there had been leveled and compacted, and it was almost like a hard floor to step on. Many workers were still busy driving piles there, and rows of big tents were erected neatly.

But the most conspicuous thing is the big stage in the middle,

The stage is more than two meters high, 500 meters long and wide, and a stepped stand is built on both sides.
In the center is a place similar to a rostrum. The seats are few and wide, and the material is also leather. It looks like it is for those big people to sit.

The whole looks like a temporary stadium, or in other words, a Roman arena without a wall.

"The tents below are the market stalls after the ceremony. The stall fee is calculated according to the size and orientation of each tent. For example, those near the sacrificial altar cost at least [-] metropolitan coins per day."

"Ten thousand? Hehe, how many years ago were you a bumpkin? Just this tent, you can't take it down without fifty thousand!"

Just as Wang Bing took Lin Guiyao to familiarize himself with tomorrow's venue in advance, a man with a big belly suddenly came up and shouted shrilly.

"We know each other?"

Lin Guiyao glanced at the guy standing behind the man, it was a recording officer holding a thick notebook,

To register for a booth here, you have to apply to him first.

"do not know,"

The man with a big belly had his nostrils turned upward, took out a bag of snacks and chewed them.

"But you blocked my uncle's interest in choosing a location, which made me very unhappy! If you can't afford it, don't stand in the way here, okay? Those 51-day roadside stalls outside are the places you should go!"

Lin Guiyao and Wang Bing looked at each other and smiled...

　I wrote about wheat bread yesterday, and then I went to buy the ingredients and made it at home. Well, except for the hard point, it is still edible...
