Chapter 312 Expansion
After expressing their gratitude to the three people at the trading station, these people couldn't wait to grab the meat and ran out in a hurry, preparing to light a fire to roast their own dinner.

Eating the sizzling pieces of meat, they felt as if they were in heaven. They had been captives for more than two months, and only now did they truly appreciate the benefits of freedom.

After a delicious meal, the few of them lay on the ground, looking at the star-studded night sky, feeling a sense of satisfaction spontaneously.

"Patriarch, can we still eat meat tomorrow?" One person said leisurely.

"Tomorrow we won't eat meat." The elder patriarch said solemnly.

When everyone heard the words, they looked at their patriarch in puzzlement, and quickly asked: "Why can't we eat meat anymore? As long as we earn copper coins from our work, can't we exchange meat?"

The patriarch chuckled and said: "Now we have eight people here, four of us will go to work tomorrow, and four will be left to build our residence. We can't even have a shelter from the wind and rain!"

"If only four people go to work, then our copper coins will be short! Can our food be eaten?" One person asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I see that there are many kinds of food in the trading post. We can exchange other things besides meat. Meat should require more copper coins. Before the residence is built, let's stop eating meat. In short, let's put this Let's get through it for a while, and you should also inquire more on weekdays to see if there are other ways to get copper coins besides working?" The patriarch explained to everyone.

"Patriarch, what do you think the Xia Kingdom is like! Why are these people so powerful." A young man asked.

The patriarch looked at Yekong in the darkness, and murmured: "I don't know, but now we are free citizens. I am old, and I will have a stutter in the future. You are still young, behave well in the future, say Maybe you can become soldiers like them."

"Then our tribe is gone?"

The patriarch smiled wryly, and said: "There will be no tribe in the future, and I will no longer be the patriarch. Judging by Xia Guo's appearance, he must capture all the humans in the entire forest. There will be no more tribes in the future. Only Xia Guo, you have to recognize this point, don't think about other things, or you will die."

Everyone fell into contemplation after hearing the words. They didn't know where the future path was. Facing the unknown future, they subconsciously felt a little fear.

In the early morning, with the soldiers shouting and cursing, the captives’ busy day began. In the place where the tools were distributed, the captives lined up in a long line, waiting to receive their own tools, and the women were responsible for harvesting and feeding the giant deer. fodder and prepare food for the soldiers.

And these eight free men, after applying for some tools from Lin Shi, left four of them to build their own residences in the city, and the other four went to the construction site to earn everyone's food money today with their own hands.

A few days later, with the hard work of several people, a few simple thatched houses were built, and with a few people saving money, they bought a few clay pots at the trading station with a small amount of copper coins, and the trading station The steward also enthusiastically told them how to make potatoes and rice.

Although these kinds of things are not as delicious as meat, for those who have never eaten this kind of food, the taste of these foods is far better than that of meat. The most important thing is that the price is much cheaper than meat. Two copper coins can make a person eat two full meals a day, and even after half a month, everyone will accumulate dozens of copper coins on their body.

Slowly, more and more prisoners heard about their situation, and they were extremely envious of these lucky guys.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jianya announced to the captives that as long as the city is built, those who behave well will have the opportunity to become free citizens. Those who don't work hard and only think about how to fight against the heavenly army will end up badly. bit miserable.

After all, people are afraid of death. The captives who have hope will naturally not be passive and slow down. After this incident, the progress of the project has accelerated a lot compared to before. Even if there is no soldier's urging, they will consciously complete the confession down task.

Half a month later, as the city was basically completed, Jianya arranged for 100 people to stay here, and led the army to conquer the jungle in the west. This time, he planned to find out that tribe even if he chased it to the sky. , to relieve the hatred in my heart.

In the south of the mainland of China, above the sea, a huge three-masted warship slowly sneaked along the coastline along the ocean current.

Wu Gang, who was named Admiral of the Navy, walked into the cabin, looked at the busy draftsman, came to a draftsman, and said: "The drawing of the half month's map is no problem!"

The surveyor nodded and said: "No problem, I have numbered these maps, as long as they are sorted out, it will be fine."

"You can't be careless about this matter. We have been out for a few months now. As long as we rendezvous with the northern ship, this mission will be completed. After we go back, His Majesty will definitely reward us a lot. We should enjoy the blessings when the time comes. There must be no mistakes." Wu Gang said slowly.

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Report to the general, and the savages were found spying on us on the coast."

Hearing this, Wu Gang followed the soldiers to the deck and looked towards the seashore. Sure enough, he saw a group of naked savages looking towards this side. Some of them even knelt down and kowtowed to his side.

This situation has been encountered several times in the past two weeks.

"Don't pay attention to them. Now our Daxia army is going all out to conquer the north. According to the previous method, record the location of these people and go back to ask His Majesty for instructions." 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 jumping up and down. Although he was curious, he didn't dare to dock the boat for safety reasons. He usually replenished fresh water and food, only Can only dock after it is safe to do so.

The warship sailed slowly, and the savages on the shore also ran in the direction of the big ship. They didn't stop until they were exhausted, watching the warship disappear into the sky little by little.

During this voyage, Wang Lang sent two boats from Harbor City to sail north and south to draw the outline of the mainland of China. According to his estimation, if the mainland of China is not one of the seven continents, then it is likely to be an independent On the mainland, as long as the two ships in the north-south direction can converge, the task of drawing the map can be completed.

Only by knowing the general situation of the continent where you are, can you not be at a loss in the next defense construction.
