Monster Minotaur

How to judge whether a city is a strong city? This question is very profound, so Mo Yan has never thought about such a question. But Mo Yan knew that a city's power was not just reflected in its force. It is also reflected in the city's industrial production capacity. If a city has an extremely strong industry. Then that city can build more weapons and equipment to arm the monsters summoned from the wild.

You can produce more products to sell to earn money, and then purchase raw materials from surrounding areas to continue production, and you can make yourself stronger over and over again. Thunder Bluff, founded by Mo Yan, can be said to have the most advanced production methods in the Hill Continent, and it also has a group of excellent skilled workers. As the cousins ​​of the dwarves, the gray dwarves are not weak in steel skills at all.

Hundreds of Salt merchants come to Thunder Bluff every day, and goods worth thousands of gold coins are traded every day. With high-quality products and relatively low prices, Thunder Bluff can almost be said to be making money every day. But if it's just like this, it can't be said that Thunder Bluff is a powerful place.

As a city built by monsters, Thunder Bluff has fatal flaws. Except for those stupid monsters, few Salters or gray dwarves have a sense of belonging to Thunder Bluff. They only ventured here for the high salary. Once Thunder Bluff faces real danger, it will be extremely dangerous. Most gold diggers will quickly sweep away their property and flee.

As a city lord, Mo Yan was not unaware of such shortcomings. He has been committed to dealing with these problems. He sold the real estate in Thunder Bluff at low prices, encouraged the Salt people to buy properties in the city, and wanted to use profits to bind these people who came to Thunder Bluff to Thunder Bluff.

Although such measures have had some effect, in general they still have little effect. This is the point of view of the city built by monsters, which is not so easy to offset by other means. Faced with this situation, Mo Yan had to think of other ways to increase Salt's recognition of Thunder Bluff. And in the end, the way he gets along and adopts it is culture!

Why do people live? If you really want to talk about this issue seriously, you may not be able to get to the core even after three days and three nights, and it will easily wander to other topics. But Mo Yan believes that people should be happy in life. After all, no one likes a miserable life, and money and benefits from the mortal world cannot be brought into the underworld.

Therefore, the reason why people work hard is to live happily. As a fighting race, the Salt people have no entertainment activities. In addition to work, most people just go to the pub every day to drink, brag and chat with people they know well, and if they are richer people, they just watch monsters wrestling.

This is why when Mo Yan and Jones pretended to be a special animal trainer in order to get into Santa Fe and were welcomed in the city and made a lot of money, these Salt people were too boring. So for this situation, if there is a popular entertainment method that can make the public identify with Thunder Bluff invisibly, then it will naturally be an excellent method.

Although Mo Yan doesn't know much about the so-called culture, he does have a general understanding of some things. Anyone who has never seen how to kill a pig or eat pork will always understand something in the era of information explosion. What's more, he was facing a group of idle Salt people. Even with current eyesight, Mo Yan believed that things would be popular. After all, I could make a lot of money just by throwing a few balls at random, and if someone breaks my chest, I can make a lot of money.

When Mo Yan decided to raise Thunder Bluff's tertiary industry, the advantages of Thunder Bluff being different from other cities in Elam became apparent. There is no so-called parliament in Elam, and everything is decided by Mo Yan alone. As long as the funds in the treasury allow, anything Mo Yan wants to do can be implemented immediately.

After he confirmed several entertainment facilities, the relevant agencies in the city began to get busy, purchasing houses in Mo Yan's selected areas to build sites and conducting advance publicity. A few months ago, most people in the city received an introduction to emerging entertainment and knew that Thunder Bluff would host a large-scale event.

This booklet, written by Mo Yan himself, briefly introduces the rules of several activities, as well as some performances called dramas. After a period of preparation, and after Mo Yan, who went to Yulin Bend to fight the pirates, came back, everything was ready.

This cultural development project, which has been planned for a long time, has consumed a lot of funds and resources in Thunder Bluff, but the results obtained are also extremely obvious. Several special venues have been constructed, and the required supporting equipment has been prepared. The huge venue can accommodate at least ten thousand people to watch the game.

In order to better schedule and direct, all projects are started separately. The program prepared on the first day is a basketball game. A group of specially selected Sartu people were divided into two teams. After special training, they have mastered the rules of basketball. Although their playing skills are not good, no one else in the city has seen them play well. .

The huge basketball court built now is already filled with many Salters and gray dwarves who came to watch the excitement. In order to hold this emerging cultural event, almost all factories have been on holiday, and it is also used as a welfare One kind gave out some free admission tickets, allowing most people in the city to enter the hall.

Damn it! I finally know why a special area is set up for gray dwarves. The red-nosed gray dwarf looked at the broad back in front of him and complained loudly to the Salt people beside him: Now even if I stand I can’t see anything on the chair yet!”

What's the use of talking about this now. The Salt man took out a wine bottle and took a sip. He looked at the gray dwarf who was jumping on the chair and said with a smile: Our seat is in the middle. Now all around It’s already full of people, and it’s not easy for you to get out. I told you to go over there, but you had to come and sit here.”

How do I know that you Salt people are still so tall even if you are sitting there! The gray dwarf who couldn't see it gave up and sat back on the stool. He looked at the wine bottle in the Salt people's hands and licked it. Lip said: It's really unlucky. I just lost my wine bottle yesterday, and now I don't even have anything to drink from.

Ah...it's out. The Salter pretended not to hear the gray dwarf's request for wine. Looking at the strange arena in the middle, the two teams of Salter came out and said, Is this going to be a fight between the two sides? ? But it seems that no weapons were seen. How on earth are they going to compete? What are the patterns painted on the ground in the venue for?

The Sart man's words made the red-nosed gray dwarf anxious. He stood up and continued to jump vigorously in an attempt to see what was going on in the field. However, it was obvious that his short legs would not allow him to see beyond the Sart dwarf blocking him. Celtic back. As for the athletes in the field, the Salters made simple preparations and started the game as rehearsed.

The basketball game has been a huge success. Although most people don't know the rules yet, they are very interested in such a confrontational activity. Most people in Sartes think that such a game is very interesting. Before the basketball court was built, basketball clubs and other places that had been set up also welcomed a large number of people after the first game. of customers.

In the next few days, rugby, soccer, and golf activities were held in Thunder Bluff. The first two activities had a very good response, but golf was evaluated as a girly activity. Many people I left the venue after watching the first ten minutes.

On the last day of the event, the drama also started as the finale. Rehearsed dramas such as Thunder Bluff and the Three Musketeers, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and the Seven Gray Dwarfs not only catered to the preferences of most residents in the city , and also promoted Thunder Bluff’s main theme of caring for its citizens.

Among them, Beauty and the Beast is a sad story that praises monsters and Salt maidens. It immediately reminds people of the wedding that was held not long ago. Although Mo Yan has repeatedly stated that the minotaur in it is not himself, it still makes Lei Lei The citizens of Ya agreed, and Emily took it as a veiled expression of love. She tried her best to avoid Mo Yan for several weeks, and she had no idea how to say what she originally planned to say.

This made Mo Yan a little confused. He really just preached that monsters and humans can coexist peacefully and even fall in love. It didn't mean much. This is just like the reading questions in a certain country's annual college entrance examination. Among them is why the author mentioned the old locust tree three times.

In fact, the author Mao didn’t even think about it! I was planning to go home for dinner, but I accidentally wrote it three times! What's the special purpose there? This lesson makes Mo Yan even more certain that all so-called film critics are masters of bullshit, and they will interpret it this way even when the author does not mean it.
