Chapter 73 The Backward Candela Empire
A large magic freight locomotive was driving quickly on the largest official road in the southern province of the Kendela Empire.
"boom--"
The tire rolled over a pothole in the road, and immediately the whole body was shaken.
Nasus, who was driving the magic locomotive, bumped up from the seat, and then fell heavily. He suddenly felt a pain coming from his buttocks, and couldn't help complaining: "What kind of broken roads are there in the Candela Empire? Not level. My ass is going to be snapped in half on this trip."
Khafre, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, looked as if he had been used to it for a long time. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Isn't your kid's butt in two halves, or three halves? All right, don't complain, you come here in the future There are still many times, get used to it early."
"Have you been running this kind of broken road?" Nasus frowned and shook his head. "I said Uncle, you said that the Candela Empire is much richer than our Lampari Kingdom? Why don't you want to build more roads? Not only will our running be much more comfortable, but it will also be much faster. "
"Do you think this thing can be done if you have money?" Hafre gave his nephew a blank look, looked at the still potholed road ahead, and sighed helplessly: "Although the Kandela Empire is rich, but they are If you refuse to build roads, what can you do?"
"Isn't that right? Roads are everywhere in our small country like the Lampari Kingdom. Would an empire as big as the Candela Empire not know the benefits of roads? Why wouldn't they build them?" Nasus was still puzzled.
"Then how do I know." Khafre sneered from his nostrils. "Perhaps these aristocratic lords of the Candela Empire like to ride their carriages on this country road."
Nasus muttered something, and continued to drive the large magic freight locomotive forward.
Seeing that he stopped complaining, Nasus also fell silent. Start planning your next trip.
Since the Kandela Empire and the Lampari Kingdom officially signed an agreement. Since the domestic market was fully opened to the Lampari Kingdom. This is the fourth time he has come to this huge empire within a month and a half.
Although every journey is very hard, he has made a lot of money in the past one and a half months through the simple trade model of transporting goods from the Lampari Kingdom to the Candela Empire every time.
This time he brought his nephew Nasus, besides because his nephew got the driver's license issued by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce last year, and is qualified to stand on a large cargo magic locomotive, he also wanted him to bring him to meet the world and get acquainted How do you do business here. To prepare for training him as a right-hand man in the future.
As for the matters between the two countries, the Candela Empire and the Lampari Kingdom, of course he, an ordinary small businessman, does not understand. It is a very good business opportunity to sell it in the Candela Empire, and the tariff charged is much lower than before.
If there is no change in the agreement between the Candela Empire and the Kingdom of Lampari, he is confident in making this trade bigger and stronger, which is much better than being an ordinary small businessman in the Kingdom of Lampari before. .
The only obstacle is probably when the Candela Empire may change.
Such a huge empire only needs a little bit of trouble. It was enough to crush him, a small businessman, to pieces, leaving him powerless.
"I hope Her Majesty the Queen can always maintain a good relationship with the Candela Empire..." Thinking of this. Khafre sincerely prayed in his heart.
"Hey, Uncle..." At this moment, Nasus, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke again.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"I've never been to the Candela Empire before, and I always thought that such a big empire would definitely be much better than a small country like our Lampari Kingdom in many ways, but after seeing it with my own eyes this time, I always felt... ...I always feel that the Candela Empire is much worse than our Lampari Kingdom in every way?"
Seeing the puzzled look on Nasus's face, Khafre couldn't help laughing, thinking that this kid really had exactly the same feelings as he had when he came to the Kandela Empire these few times.
"Tell me, why do you feel that the Candela Empire is inferior to our Lampari Kingdom?" Hafre asked intentionally.
"Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the road in front of us." Nasus pointed to the road ahead, and said unceremoniously: "It is said that this road leads to Lalu City, the third largest city in the central province of the Kandela Empire. Yes, if we put it in our Lampali Kingdom, there must be a very wide road. But look at the current road, not to mention the tatters, it is also ridiculously narrow. I think this road has at most It can allow two large freight magic locomotives to run side by side, and one more locomotive will be impossible to pass."
"Well, Lu Po is indeed the biggest problem, and then? Is there anything else?" Hafre asked again.
"Others? Did you forget that we were resting in Ave City before? Although it is a small town, there is only one restaurant in the whole city. This is too exaggerated! And what the hell are they selling? We don’t even have fresh meat, it’s really shabby. If it’s our Lampari Kingdom, let’s not talk about our Karma City, even if it’s a small city, at least we can eat meat casually.”
"What? You are not satisfied without eating meat? You are not happy with meat, aren't you afraid that your family will be poor sooner or later?" Hafre said with a smile.
"Cut, can you still be poor by eating meat? Now the pork in Karma City only sells for two silver coins per catty. Even if I eat one catty every day, I can't make my family poor."
"You kid, have you forgotten how you were hungry when you were a child?" Hafre gave him a blank look. "Don't forget, the reason why you have been able to eat meat so happily in the past two years is entirely because our Lampari Kingdom has a lot of food, so we can take out enough feed to raise pigs. Can the people of the Candela Empire have enough It’s good enough to feed yourself with enough food, how could there be so much free time to raise pigs.”
"Really?" Nasus scratched his head. "Anyway, it's too far away from our Lampari Kingdom. And we went to the faucet to wash our hands after dinner, and put some water on the car by the way. As a result, there was no running water in the whole city of Eve, so I ran to it by myself. Drawing water from such an old well, really..."
"What's wrong with asking you to exercise more?" Khafre shook his head with a smile. "You, you are completely used to the comfortable life of our Lampari Kingdom now, not used to the backwardness of the Candela Empire..."
Khafre was stunned suddenly.
What did he just say?
behind?
He actually added the adjective "backward" to the Candela Empire so naturally?
This is one of the two great empires in the mainland!
This is the Candela Empire, which people in other small countries on the mainland can only look up to and admire from the bottom of their hearts except the Maro Empire!
But after thinking about it, Hafre felt that there was nothing wrong.
Compared with the Lampari Kingdom, he did feel various inconveniences after entering the Candela Empire.
For example, the dilapidated roads that Nasus just mentioned, the scarce food, the water supply facilities that still need to rely on manpower, and the magic mobile phone that he is carrying in his arms, but it is not useful at all. Everything, as shown, It is a kind of backwardness.
That's right, it's lagging behind.
Compared with the Lampari Kingdom, the Candela Empire is backward in many ways.
This is not his momentary illusion, but a real fact.
"Uncle, what's the matter with you? Why are you in a daze?" Hearing that Khafre suddenly stopped talking, Nasus turned his head and glanced at him, and found that his uncle's mouth was half-open with a dull expression on his face, and he couldn't help wondering .
"Ah... ah, it's okay, it's nothing..."
Khafre waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
However, when he regained his composure, he couldn't help feeling absurd in his mind.
The Candela Empire is behind the Lampari Kingdom?
If this idea were placed in other countries on the continent, or even just in the Kingdom of Lampari a few years ago, it would only make people laugh.
Because this is simply a big joke.
As one of the two major empires on the mainland, the Candela Empire is of course far stronger in every aspect than the Kingdom of Lampari, a small country located in the southwest of the mainland.
How could a word like backwardness be used to describe the Candela Empire?
However, judging from Khafre's recent experience of traveling between the Lampari Kingdom and the Candela Empire, this is an indisputable fact.
The Candela Empire is more backward than the Lampari Kingdom.
Khafre twitched the corner of his mouth, with a strange expression, but a trace of joy and pride flashed in his heart.
Did the Kingdom of Lampari become so powerful without knowing it?
In the past, when he faced the merchants of the Candela Empire, he always had a kind of inferiority complex from the bottom of his heart.
But now that he had figured this out, he suddenly found that there was a sense of superiority in his heart.
What qualifications do these merchants from the Candela Empire have to show off in front of them, they are just a group of bumpkins who have never seen the world!
This idea made Khafre feel instantly happy, and couldn't help laughing.
Hearing Khafre's sudden laughter, Nasus turned his head to look at him inexplicably, and found that the smile on his face was extremely happy, and the laughter was also refreshing and carefree, which showed that he was indeed in a very happy mood.
Nasus couldn't help wondering.
What happened to uncle? He was obviously just discussing the inconvenient aspects of the Candela Empire, why did uncle suddenly let out such a weird laugh after thinking about it?
Could it be that this topic made uncle think of some strange things?
But no matter how much Nasus wanted to break his scalp, he didn't want to understand this.
So he could only shake his head, stare straight ahead, concentrate on continuing to drive the large magic freight locomotive, and drive quickly towards the outline of the city that appeared at the far end of the horizon. (To be continued..)
