In fact, Fang Jinyan's reason for claiming to open a new base was that he wanted to build a trading station.
This argument is valid and credible.
In this era, transportation has been very difficult, and long-distance caravans can be said to be very risky, but high risk often means high profits, so there are not many long-distance caravans.
They have to face countless crises such as zombies, mutant beasts, and robbers along the way, but those who dare to run long-range caravans must invite masters to help, don't just look for death.
Generally speaking, for a distance of more than 300 kilometers, it is necessary to invite at least two or three capable people and one or twenty ordinary evolutionary people, and at least fifty or more people with guns, otherwise there will be great danger.
Coupled with the non-combatants, many large ranged caravans are in the hundreds, and they are very powerful.
Sometimes, though, it seems like there's a better way than a long-range caravan, and that's to set up a caravan in the middle of the way Such a caravan station can play a good transit role for the caravan between the bases, making the caravan's journey shorter.
Of course, some of them are also ingested and used.
Even if they are not willing to give up so much profit, the trading station can also be used as their gas station, where they can rest and stop to replenish some supplies.
Like the previous "White Fox Gang", in fact, the nature is equivalent to the "franchisee station" of the Southern Fujian Alliance and the Guangzhou base, they help the two bases to provide transit services with other bases, and the two bases also allow them to charge a certain fee as a profit share, which is a cooperative relationship.
Of course, sometimes they also have to take care of the maintenance of the road, otherwise the caravan will have to make a detour, and they will naturally not receive money.
If the location of a trading station is good, the profit is very considerable, so many large bases have people who go out to open up trading stations by themselves.
As long as there is enough profit, there are people who are willing to take risks Therefore, the excuse Fang Jinyan found was barely plausible However, when they actually arrived at their destination, Bai Qing, Liang Chen and the others were a little skeptical.
"Boss, are you sure you want to build a trading station in this mountain," Bai Qing asked incomprehensibly.
"Yes, the location here is a little too remote, at least 20 kilometers away from the main road, how can we accept the caravan" Liang Chen also asked suspiciously.
"Mainly because the terrain here is relatively dangerous, I want to make a long-term plan to build this place into a new city, business war is just a part of us, we will open up farms and factories in the future, and build this place into a prosperous city."
Fang Jinyan explained.
This is actually not a deception, he originally planned to do so, and the merchant station can really be considered, but he didn't mention the most important dark metal deposits In addition, his so-called farms are mainly mutant plantations, of course, food must be planted, at least to ensure self-sufficiency, and in this period, it is unrealistic for grain to rely on imports "But Yinpan Town is also developing quite well, and it is not easy to gain a foothold in the alliance, do you want to give up?"
"Of course we won't give up, we can still grow there, at least some food.
In addition, we will try to maintain good relations with our allies, or at least cooperate with each other, otherwise our trading post will not be able to function. ” "Yes, if we fall out with the Alliance, it is estimated that they will not recognize our status as a caravan, and no caravan will dare to pass through here at that time."
Liang Chen nodded and said.
"Hehe, in fact, it's nothing, if they don't admit it, it's not bad for us to be robbers, the profit margin is much higher than that of the trading station," Bai Qing said with a smile.
"When the robbers have no future, it's not interesting to just rob a small caravan, if you rob a large caravan, it is estimated that we will offend all the big bases, and then we will be jointly exterminated, with our strength, it is impossible to compete with the big bases."
Liang Chen shook his head and said.
"I'm just kidding, why are you so serious," Bai Qing said depressedly.
Liang Chen didn't know if he was also infected by Fang Jinyan, but now he is very serious and can't joke at all.
After some exchanges, Fang Jinyan calmed the hearts of several key personnel, and then the construction of the new city began in full swing.
Fang Jinyan said that the terrain of this place is dangerous, and it is really not false at all.
It is a typical coastal canyon terrain with mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, and only one corner of the northeast is connected to the outside world.
Therefore, Fang Jinyan and the others don't even need to build too many fortifications, it is already an easy to defend and difficult to attack territory.
"It is said that when the anti-Yu Dayou had a big battle with the Japanese here, there were only a few hundred Japanese invaders at that time, and Yu Dayou had thousands of men and horses, but because of this terrain, they could not be broken for a long time, until later Yu Dayou used an adventurous boat to cross the sea and sneak attack the Japanese Kou's nest, and finally annihilated them."
Fang Jinyan introduced history to everyone.
"Who is Yu Dayou?"
asked Bai Qing ignorant and fearlessly.
Not only her, but Liu Yun, Xu Xiaoyao, and Han Xiaolu also had similar expressions.
"Yu Dayou is a famous anti-Japanese general in the Ming Dynasty, and he is as famous as Qi Jiguang."
Liang Chen explained.
"Who is Qi Jiguang?"
asked Bai Qing with a blank expression.
Liang Chen, Zhang Ming, Bai Lin and other boys were speechless for a moment, and they really talked about history with women, which was like playing the piano to a cow Of course, Xu Xiaoyao was still slightly better, and when she heard Qi Jiguang's name, she was suddenly a little surprised, because she had seen this name in high school history.
In fact, this new city did not start from scratch, there was originally a small town in the valley, this town because of the traffic blockage, so the economy in Fujian Province is relatively not very developed, mainly relying on agriculture and fishing.
In addition, because limestone is produced in the valley, there are some small cement factories in the town, and many townspeople work in the cement factories.
Now these people have long since died, those who fled, and those who have become zombies have become zombies.
And what Fang Jinyan and the others need to do in the first step is obviously to clear all the zombies in the valley.
This is obviously not too difficult for them, 500 people are basically gunmen, Fang Jinyan and other evolutionaries are even more powerful, although there are thousands of zombies in the town, but because of the barrier of the building, it has not formed a too large corpse group.

It took the expedition two days to clean up all the zombies, and the corpses were piled up, thrown into a large pit, and burned together.
Looking at the raging fire, the survivors couldn't help but feel a little excited.
They all know that a new city is born.
Of course, it is impossible for them to imagine that this new city may become the most prosperous and luxurious city in the world t1706231537:
