Chapter 159 The Ladybug Effect
Lu Yao watched the last days of business.
This villain who instituted slavery in Yancheng eventually died in a cotton field.
Business and profit are like two faces in Yancheng. One of them has the right to speak, while the other can only run away.
When it comes to governing a city, business cannot compare with commercial profits. With his actions, Yancheng quickly lost its cohesion and almost destroyed the previous years of efforts of Yulian and Shangli.
Shang Ji is a hateful and pitiful pixelated villain, but his "Ladybug" made Lu Yao somewhat interested.
He checked Shang Ji’s [History] during his lifetime.
…
When he was 63 years old, he saw a strange scoop-shaped insect.
At the age of 69, he completed "Ladybird".
…
After Shang Ji's death, "The Ladybug" was circulated in Yaocheng.
Lu Yao looked over the city and noticed that scholars were talking about this book.
"It is said in "The Story of a Ladybug" that the ladybugs on the island will emit a strange fragrance that even man-eating crabs and turkeys will be addicted to. Is it true or false?"
"It's absolutely true. When I made my pilgrimage last year, I asked several sailors that they had seen the kind of ladybugs. The scent is very strong and refreshing. If the ladybugs are out, man-eating crabs will surround them. It smells and people nearby will not be attacked as long as they don’t touch the ladybug.”
"What an amazing bug, it conquered the man-eating crab with its scent!"
“The Ladybird Diary records that ladybugs appear on many small islands in the south, but they don’t seem to be able to cross the sea, so they haven’t been seen on the Western Continent or the Eastern Continent.”
"It's such a pity that the scholar Sanyangpi who wrote "The Ladybug" could get rid of his status as a slave and would definitely become a great scholar when he came to Yaocheng."
"Being able to leave such a book, Mr. Sanyangpi is enough to leave a name in history. Nowadays, everyone also calls the musk ladybug 'Sanyangpi'."
"makes sense."
…
In Yaocheng, most of the discussion on "Ladybird" revolved around academic areas.
For example, is the musk ladybug an ordinary bug or an extraordinary creature?
Why do musk ladybugs smell so good? Even man-eating crabs can't resist its fragrance. Does being willing to follow and protect it mean that it has a special power? Can ladybugs be raised directly like trail rabbits?
etc.
But in Yancheng in the west, "Ladybird" has set off a new wave.
The city library was crowded with people, all coming to read books.
"Recite "The Ladybug", quickly read "The Ladybug"!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up."
The scholar at the door was a little helpless: "I have read "The Ladybug" ten times today... If you need it, buy a book and go back and read it. My throat is going hoarse."
"If I know how to read, do I still need you to speak?"
"That's right!"
"Nianniannian, you have to study anyway, so just read this one."
Of course it's not because the people of Yancheng love to hear stories.
But because they are going to catch ladybugs.
You must understand the habits of musk ladybugs through this book before you can determine how and where to catch them.
On the streets of Yancheng, pixelated people are equipped with nets and boxes on their backs. They look like insect hunters per capita. They hugged each other and rushed to the port to go to sea together, aiming directly at the ladybugs on the Southern Islands.
Musk ladybugs have become a hot commodity in Yancheng stores.
"Fragrance balls made from musk ladybugs! Limited to 3 pieces today!"
"An incense jar that can cure illnesses and put you to sleep, the crystallization of a pure-blood musk ladybug..."
The best seller among them, and the one most liked by the citizens is something called [Smelling Wood].
This is done by hollowing out the wood, pouring in the sachets of musk ladybugs, and adding some petals and herbs. The fragrance can last for a long time after sealing, and it is easy to carry, suitable for both men and women.
The most expensive are the live musk ladybugs.
While in Yancheng, Lu Yao only saw two musk ladybirds.
One is with the prophet Dolenunu. He put the three-goat ladybug sent by people into a birdcage and raised it, and placed it in the temple to increase the fragrance.
The other one is in the hands of a man named Salt Bag.
He is both a salt man and a businessman. After Yanbao obtained a live three-goat ladybug, he placed it in his store for people to view and also helped sell ladybug merchandise.
Musk ladybug-related products, including sniffing wood, incense jars, incense balls, ladybug sculptures... are being continuously produced from Yancheng and sold all the way to Yaocheng, Sanilo, the New World in the North and South, and many overseas island groups.
Relying on rapid exports, large quantities of grain, timber, ore, cattle and horses were transported back to Yancheng in batches, and were transformed into newly built houses and longer and wider streets in the city.
Driven by the Musk Ladybug, Yancheng ushered in a new wave of rapid development!
A large influx of foreign population. A considerable number of them are businessmen, adventurers and people looking for job opportunities, and they are very mobile. But as the population increases, the activity of the city obviously increases.
Lu Yao could see clearly from his divine perspective.
Behind this is the promotion of Mayor Shangli and Dolenunu.
Dolenunu took the lead in raising live [Musk Ladybugs], turning this insect into a synonym for sacredness - of course, this was approved by the White God in the temple.
With a prophet taking the lead and demonstrating, this becomes a weathervane of status and taste.
Shang Li vigorously advocated through the citizens' council and united many businessmen to develop new markets with ladybugs as merchandise.
As Ladybug became popular, a large number of goods were exported to the outside world, and the population continued to increase. Yancheng also received far more tax revenue than before, and was able to quickly launch various urban constructions.
The iconic port lighthouse of the past finally stands in the northwest of Yancheng again. It's a pity that this time there is no hint of the prototype of the wonder.
Lu Yao felt a little strange.
The butterfly effect started with a ladybug, but it caused quite a storm in the pixel world.
In Yancheng, the most intensive places for citizen dialogue are in two taverns, one in the city and one at the port.
Outside the tavern in the city, a conversation caught Lu Yao's attention.
"There is a treasure chest in the Elf Lake in the south. While they are catching ladybugs, let's go find the treasure chest. This is the real opportunity!"
"The treasure chest is not easy to get. The elf giants over there are very fierce."
"Huh? Has no one ever gotten the treasure chest?"
"I heard there is. So let's come to the tavern to find out."
Three villains entered the tavern.
Lu Yao clicked on the tavern to enter the indoor bird's eye view.
The interior of the pub is very simple. There is a counter at the door with wooden barrels for wine. The boss pours wine into wooden cups for guests who need it and pays on the spot.
A row of wooden tables and chairs stood against both sides of the wall. Most of the people drinking were talking non-stop, and text kept popping up in the dialog boxes above their heads.
From Lu Yao's perspective, he followed the three people who came in from the door.
The place was surrounded by drinkers, and a little man in the middle was drinking and bragging to everyone.
"The two elf giants we met at the beginning were each as high as a hill. When they waved their arms, hurricanes would blow around them... We also narrowly escaped death and fought them desperately to get the treasure chest from them."
The boaster continued: "But in the end, we were overtaken by these monsters. In order to leave safely, we had no choice but to leave the box, which was full of shiny gems... After all, we are still the same people as before. Too little and you’ll suffer a loss.”
"Since I drank the wine everyone invited me, I will tell you a secret..."
"You can't use brute force to find the treasure chest in Elf Lake. You can't defeat the Elf Giant with brute force."
"I am a sea urchin, and like no other, I am courageous and loyal. My partner, Shangmi, spent a month thinking about it together by the lake, and finally found a way!"
"Gift."
"Those giants like gifts, but they are very picky, and they don't like ordinary gifts. They must be some special gifts, such as...honey from crazy bees. There are only a few of these bees, but as long as they prick a person, they will... will die."
Drinking friends around him all handed him glasses and said, "I've never heard of this kind of honey. Where can I find it?"
A smiling face appeared on the top of the sea urchin's head: "Go to Shangmi. He is still at the Elf Lake, looking for crazy honey. I think it is too hard, and he wants to find another way. If you go, you can Saw him next to me.”
Lu Yao remembered.
This sea urchin and the Shangmi he mentioned were the two adventurers who were stunned by the big elf's big mouth.
I don’t know what’s going on over there at Elf Lake.
Lu Yao's perspective switches to the New World in the South.
Not far from the Elf Lake, a small wooden house was built at some point.
There is a little man standing in front of the cabin.
"The quantity is limited, I'm really sorry. Today's crazy honey is no longer available. Please be early tomorrow."
The name [Shangmi] is displayed on the top of the villain's head.
The little people buying honey outside had disappointed expressions on their heads.
The person who got the honey happily ran all the way to the Elf Lake and carefully placed the honey in front of the lake.
After a while, the elves came over, ate all the honey from the jar, and then circled around them to express their gratitude, with heart-shaped symbols appearing above their heads.
Then the men all pointed to the treasure chest in the lake.
At this time, the elves all shook their heads, saying no.
Shangmi who was next to them explained to them: "Patience, my friends, to gain the friendship and recognition of the elves requires persistence and patience. They are like women, and these gifts are indispensable."
"As long as you keep giving honey, they will open their hearts to you and give you treasure chests!"
Lu Yao was delighted to see this.
The two brothers really understood how to play the Elf Lake.
