Chapter 306 Expansion
After expressing his gratitude to the three people at the trading station, the people couldn't wait to carry the meat and ran out in a hurry, preparing to make a fire to cook their own dinner.
Eating the sizzling oily pieces of meat, the few people seemed to be in heaven. They had been prisoners for more than two months, and now they truly realized the benefits of freedom.
After a beautiful meal, several people lay on the ground and looked at the night sky with stars, a sense of satisfaction arose.
"Captain, can we still eat meat tomorrow?" said one person slowly.
"We won't eat meat tomorrow." The older patriarch said in a deep voice.
When everyone heard this, they looked at their patriarch in confusion and asked quickly: "Why can't we eat meat? As long as we can work with copper coins, can't we go and exchange meat?"
The patriarch chuckled and said, "Now there are eight people here. We will go to work for four people tomorrow and leave four places to build our residences. We can't even have a shelter from the wind and rain!"
"If only four people go to work, then we will have less copper coins! Can we eat our food?" asked one person worriedly.
"It's okay. I see that there are many kinds of food in the trading station. We can exchange other things besides meat. Meat should require more copper coins. Before the residence is built, let's not eat meat. In short, let's get through this period first. You can also ask more on weekdays to see if there is any other way to get copper coins besides working?" the patriarch explained to everyone.
"Class leader, what do you think of the Xia Kingdom? Why are these people so powerful?" asked a young man.
The patriarch looked at the dark Yekun and murmured: "I don't know either, but now we are free people. I am old and I can just stutter in the future. You are still young and perform well in the future. Maybe you can become soldiers like them."
"Then is our tribe gone?"
The patriarch smiled bitterly and said, "There will be no tribe in the future, and I will no longer be the patriarch. Judging from the appearance of Xia Kingdom, I will definitely capture all the humans in the entire forest. There will be no tribes in the future. Only Xia Kingdom. You must recognize this and don't think about other things, otherwise you will die."
Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing this. They didn't know where the future was. Facing the unknown future, they subconsciously felt a little fear.
In the early morning, with the shouts of soldiers, the busy day of the prisoners began. In the place where the tools were distributed, the prisoners lined up in a long queue waiting to collect their own tools. The women were responsible for harvesting the forage for feeding the deer and preparing food for the soldiers.
After applying for some tools from Lin Shi, the eight free people left four people to build their own residence in the city, while the other four went to the construction site and earned everyone's money for today's meal with their own hands.
A few days later, with the efforts of a few people, a few simple thatched houses were built, and while a few people were frugal, they bought a few pots of pots at the trading station with a small amount of copper coins. The manager of the trading station also enthusiastically told them how to make potatoes and rice.
Although these kinds of things are not as delicious as meat, for a few people who have never eaten this kind of food, the taste of these foods is even far more than meat. The most important thing is that the price is much cheaper than meat. It only takes two copper coins to make a person eat two full meals a day, and even after half a month, everyone will save dozens of copper coins.
Gradually, more and more prisoners heard about their situation and were extremely envious of these lucky guys.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jianya announced to the prisoners that as long as the city is built, those who perform well will have the opportunity to become free people. Anyone who does not work hard and only thinks about how to fight against the Heavenly Army will end up miserable.
After all, people are afraid of death. With hope, prisoners will naturally not slacken off in passive work. After this incident, the progress of the project has accelerated much faster than before. Even without the urging of soldiers, they will consciously complete the assigned tasks.
Half a month later, as the city was basically completed, Jianya arranged 100 people to stay here and the army led by him conquered the jungle in the west. This time, he planned to catch the tribe even if he chased to the horizon and relieve the hatred in his heart.
To the south of the China Continent, above the sea, a huge three-masted warship slowly sneaked along the coastline along the ocean current.
Wu Gang, who was named the Navy General, walked into the cabin, looked at the busy drawing staff, came to a drawing staff member, and said, "There is no problem drawing this half month!"
The surveyor nodded and said, "No problem, I have marked all these pictures with numbers. Just sort out these pictures."
"We can't be careless about this matter. We have been out for several months now. As long as we meet with the ship in the north, this mission will be completed. After we go back, Your Majesty will reward us heavily. We should enjoy it after that. We must not make any mistakes." Wu Gang said slowly.
At this time, a soldier came to report: "You reported to the general, and you found savages peeking at us on the coast."
Upon hearing this, Wu Gang followed the soldiers to the deck and looked at the coast. Sure enough, he saw a group of naked savages looking at this side, some of them even knelt down and kept bowing to him.
This situation has been encountered several times in the past half month.
"Don't pay attention to them. Now our Daxia army is fighting the north with all its might. According to the previous method, record the locations of these people and go back to ask Your Majesty for advice." Wu Gang said slowly.
"yes!"
After the soldiers retreated, Wu Gang looked at the group of savages on the coast, not understanding what they were doing with jumping and jumping. Although he was curious, he did not dare to dock the boat for safety. He usually replenish fresh water and food, and could only dock after confirming safety.
The warship sailed slowly, and the savages on the shore also ran in the direction of the big ship. They stopped until they were exhausted and watched the warship disappear into the horizon bit by bit.
During this voyage, Wang Lang sent two ships from Harbour City to sail in the north and south directions to draw the outline of the Shenzhou Continent. According to his estimate, if the Shenzhou Continent is not one of the seven continents, it is likely to be an independent continent. As long as the two ships in the north and south directions can meet, the map drawing task can be completed.
Only by knowing the general situation of your continent can you not be at a loss in the subsequent defense construction.
