Chapter 254 One Year

While everyone was waiting anxiously, Wang Lang said, "The expedition plan will not be cancelled, you can rest assured about that."

With Wang Lang's guarantee, the members of the expedition team breathed a sigh of relief. If the expedition Hu Si and the others were to settle down in the future, if they were cancelled, they would have to wait for the fifty copper coins issued every month to live. It is unacceptable to them.

"Have you gained anything from going to the jungle this time?" Wang Lang asked.

Mentioning this, everyone cheered up. Zhao Dashu untied his animal skin pocket, handed it to Wang Lang, and said with a smile, "Boss, we really have gained something this time. What do you think it is?"

Wang Lang looked at the pocket suspiciously, and when he opened it, he saw that there were seeds of some kind of plant inside, and he couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

"Boss, this is the seed of a plant. It's very sweet, even sweeter than the red flame fruit." Zhao Dashu laughed.

Hearing this, Wang Lang grabbed a handful of seeds and took a closer look, but with his level of knowledge, he didn't see anything.

"Describe that plant."

Zhao Dashu thought about it for a while and said: "That plant is very tall, a head taller than me, and each section is about as thick as a thumb."

Speaking of this, Wang Lang's eyes lit up, and he secretly said, "Could it be sugar cane?"

But then Zhao Dashu's narration denied Wang Lang's guess. According to Zhao Dashu, the top of the thing had spiked seeds, which didn't match his impression of sugarcane. According to his description, it was the same as the sweet The stalks are similar. The sweet stalks are in another world, and they are called differently in different places. If we talk about the scientific name, it is sweet sorghum, a type of sorghum.

If this is the case, it is indeed a treasure, much better than mere sugar cane.

The seeds of this sweet sorghum can not only be used to make sorghum rice, the most important thing is that this thing can be used to make wine, and the sorghum stalks can also be used as sugar cane, which can be boiled to produce sugar, which is a treasure all over the body.

But after all, Zhao Dashu's description was too vague, he was not sure whether this thing was that kind of sweet sorghum, and he became a little worried about gains and losses for a while.

"Have you produced seeds for this thing and brought back other things?"

"Bring it back!"

He said to a member of the expedition team: "Li Yun, show the leader the piece that was cut off."

This man named Li Yun quickly took out a small section of the real thing from his pocket.

Wang Lang took the thing, carefully identified it for a while, his face showed joy, and quickly said: "How far is this thing from here, and how many are there?"

Seeing that Wang Lang cared so much about this thing, Zhao Dashu knew that he had good luck this time, and quickly said: "This thing is on the north side of Chiyan Fruit Tree, and it's about two days away from there, but there are not many of them there. It is estimated that there are more than 1000 trees. When we came back, we had almost picked all the seeds, and there were only so many in total.”

Wang Lang shook his head in disappointment. If there were a lot of this kind of sweet sorghum over there, the road could be extended there, so that this building could be used immediately. Now it seems that only these seeds can be used for cultivation.

"Boss, is this thing useful?" Zhao Dashu asked.

Wang Lang nodded and said: "It's useful. We will plant a lot of this thing in the future. You are lucky to find something useful this time."

Everyone immediately beamed with joy when they heard the words, and looked at Wang Lang expectantly.

Looking at their appearance, Wang Lang knew what these people were waiting for, and said with a smile: "You are lucky this time, so, to reward you this time, I will give you [-] copper coins."

"Eight hundred copper coins!"

Everyone was so surprised that they almost couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear. They thought that the harvest this time was similar to the last time, but they didn't expect that the income this time was twice as much as the last time. The money came so quickly, which made them more sure. He made his wise decision to join the expedition.

"You go to the trading station to get it later!" Wang Lang said with a smile.

The excited people nodded again and again.

Seeing their state, they didn't want to stay here any longer, so Wang waved his hand to let them go away.

Not long after they left, it was widely known that the first expedition team won [-] copper coins this time. Looking at the twelve members of the expedition team, most people looked envious Jealousy expression.

The hearts of the nine surviving members of the Second Expeditionary Team, who were originally silent, also began to agitate under the temptation of this huge benefit.

"Sweet sorghum, it's actually sweet sorghum, tsk tsk, it seems that God has really favored me, this place is simply a treasure, if I don't make good use of it, I will definitely be punished by God." Wang Lang muttered to himself.

The plan of the expedition team, after the first expedition team succeeded twice in a row, the voices of opposition in the tribe gradually disappeared. Although most people were not willing to go out and take risks, those courageous guys who were not afraid of death began to gather people everywhere to prepare for the plan. Take advantage of this opportunity to go out and make a vote, maybe you will make a fortune immediately.

In the peaceful and busy life of the tribesmen, time flies by, and the rainy and dry seasons come and go.

The tribe has undergone tremendous changes in one year, and many granaries have been built, and more than a dozen large granaries are filled with various grains.

The dozen or so horned dragons had grown to the size of calves at this time, and children could even ride on these horned dragons to graze in the wild.

Since the first expedition team brought back sweet sorghum, after a year of cultivation, the sorghum received is almost half of the corn. With these sorghum, the sorghum wine made from these sorghum makes wine such Absence is a luxury.

It's just that this kind of high-strength liquor is too spicy, and the tribesmen still like the fruit wine made from Chiyan fruit, but sorghum wine is the most cost-effective for the tribesmen who don't have much money in their pockets. Spirits were very popular with expeditions and soldiers.

Due to the repeated success of the first expedition team, the expedition plan has greatly stimulated people's enthusiasm. Under the training of the first expedition team for a year, there are now two ten-person expedition teams. After exploring, the tribe has a radius of more than 2000 miles and is almost under Wang Lang's control. Moreover, under the propaganda of the expedition team members, those wild people wandering on the grassland flocked, causing the tribe's population to skyrocket. to nearly [-] people.

Yan Village couldn't accommodate such a large population, so after repeated consideration, a new village was built on the side of the copper mine, named Tongshan Village, distributed to more than 500 people there, and Lin Huo was appointed as the leader of Tongshan Village.
