Chapter 322
Chapter 310 The Sixth Place of Inauguration

At the end of October in the third year of Taichu, Wang He, who was ready, was sent to the army by Wang Lang, and started his military career with a group of recruits.

Although Wang He is only eight years old now, he is nearly 1.5 meters tall and looks very healthy.

Before that, Wang Lang deliberately expressed his request to Lin Shupi, that he must train this kid strictly, and not give him special care because of his status.

Under this order, Wang He began his miserable training time.

Every day before dawn, I would be awakened by the whistling whistle, and get up from the bed in a panic. As long as the assembly is late, what is waiting for me is the military posture all morning. I have experienced that feeling once, and I will never want to Try it a second time.

The boring queue practice, repeated day after day, under a month of hell-like training, the recruits completed a radical transformation, from the previous free and undisciplined farmers to well-disciplined soldiers, regardless of combat effectiveness, at least It looks quite powerful.

Wang Lang came to the barracks, watched Wang He's training, and was very satisfied with the realization of his eldest son. It is definitely not an easy task for an eight-year-old child to persevere under such high-intensity training.

Standing beside Wang Lang, Shupi said slowly: "Your Majesty, He is worthy of your blood. He has such perseverance at such a young age, and his future achievements will definitely not be bad."

Wang Lang chuckled and said: "Children must be strictly disciplined. They are like young trees. If they are not pruned, they will grow crooked. At that time, they can only be burned as firewood, and they will not be able to become pillars."

The tree bark nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, my kid is used to it, and when he grows up, I will send him to the army for training. He can have half of He's perseverance." I am satisfied."

Wang Lang stroked his beard and said, "It's been a while since the dragoons trained. When these recruits come out of training, I will let you take them to open up the grasslands in the west and extend our Great Xia territory there."

"Your Majesty, is this true?" Bark said in surprise.

Wang Lang nodded and said: "The north is going well, and it's time to open up the west. I have a bad feeling. If we don't speed up the progress to unify this continent and gather human beings, we will be in big trouble."

Shupi's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice, "Did you mean those dinosaurs are coming soon?"

"I'm just worried. It's not a bad thing to make some preparations. Now our population is less than 10. Such a small population can't hold our Xia country. We have to speed up."

The tree bark said solemnly: "Your Majesty, as long as I bring 1000 people with me, plus those dragoons searching in the air, I guarantee that within a year, I will be able to capture all the humans on the western grassland."

"Well, that's what I planned too. With the help of the dragoons, the progress will be much faster. After the population is captured, the population will be moved back. The east is our main defense." Wang Lang said slowly.

"I remember it."

"After the recruits are trained, bring Wang He with them. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with some savages. Just let him hone it."

"Your Majesty, this won't work. Although He has trained well, he is still a child. Even though he is dealing with savages, this is too risky. What should we do if something happens?" Bark quickly persuaded.

Wang Lang shook his head and said: "I believe in your ability, he will be fine with you."

Shupi sighed, looked at Wang He who was practicing fighting skills with the recruits on the school field, and said helplessly: "I obey the order!"

In a dark room in the Daxia Medical Hall, Hana listened carefully to the words of an official from the trading station.

"Doctor Hana, these captives were managed by our people. We are taking risks. Your Majesty doesn't know about this. We don't want a single captive. We only need nine hundred copper coins. It is already very cheap, and it will not be easy to have a chance in the future.”

Listening to the official's seductive words, Hana tapped her fingers on the table lightly, staring at the official's face with sharp eyes, hoping to see a flaw.

Being stared at by Hana, the official couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The news brought back by the subordinates in the north was that a prisoner had five hundred copper coins, but most people thought that the price was a bit low. The money that was put down was simply not enough for people like myself to share, and there were still many risks in it.

"Doctor Hana, what are you thinking about!" the official asked.

"Nine hundred is too much!" Hana shook her head and said.

"It's already very cheap, and we promise to send these people in quietly, even Jin Yiwei can't find it." The official added hastily.

"Tap! Tap! Tap"

The sound of fingers tapping on the table echoed in this small room.

"Eight hundred!" Hana said with narrowed eyes.

The official thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Deal!"

"When can people be sent here?" Hana asked.

"Within three days, it is guaranteed that the person will be delivered."

"Okay, as long as I can meet someone at that time, I will ask someone to send the money to you."

"Yes, but it's best to send money separately, so as not to arouse suspicion." The official reminded.

Hana nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Then I'll take my leave. Don't worry, the goods will be delivered to you the day after tomorrow at the latest."

After the official finished speaking, he turned and exited the gloomy house, and quickly returned to the trading post.

Wang Lang didn't notice this hidden transaction at all. He didn't care about those cannibal captives at all. Now that he is in his position, he thinks more about the country's affairs, and he doesn't care about the details of the past. Gao doesn't care.

I don't know what method the trading post used. Three days later, even the Ming prisoner was quietly sent to the hospital without anyone suspecting it.

These captives were male and female, all of them had their tongues cut out, so they couldn't make too much noise at all.

The transaction was completed quickly. In order not to be discovered by others, the people at the trading station hurriedly left the hospital after delivering the goods.

The doctors of the Daxia Medical Center locked these captives in a cellar. These are all high-quality experimental materials, and there must be no mistakes.

The captives huddled together in fear, looking desperately at the butchers talking to each other above them like lambs going to be slaughtered.

"Father, with these experimental products, I believe our medical skills can go a step further." Qi Yan said excitedly.

"That's right, after spending so much money to get these people, if there is no result, then we don't want to be this doctor anymore." Hana chuckled lightly.

At this time, a doctor frowned and looked at the captives below, frowned and said: "Hana, I always feel familiar with these people, I seem to have seen them in the grass snake tribe."

Hana snorted coldly and said: "What grass snake tribe? The grass snake tribe has long since ceased to exist. Now they are just a group of livestock, which are worthless except for experiments. Remember?"

The doctor was startled, and quickly said: "Yes, there is no grass snake tribe in this world, they are cannibals, and they deserve to die."

Hana glared at him, and said coldly: "Listen up, no one is allowed to mention this matter to outsiders."

Hana's sharp eyes swept across the doctors, and they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat, and quickly swore to the gods to keep this secret.

In the days that followed, these captives thoroughly experienced what it means to live like hell on earth.

The male captives were caught to experiment with herbal medicines, and the female captives were forced to mate with these male captives. Qi Yan planned to impregnate these women in order to experiment with a safer method of delivery.

Even if some captives died during the experiment, their bodies were not wasted.

The doctors disassembled the dead corpses like decomposing livestock, and studied the internal structure of the human body. After some research, they recorded a lot of human body structures on paper.

Under the prosperous appearance of the Xia Kingdom, except for a few people, the people of the country do not know that there is such a terrifying place in this world. The Daxia Medical Center is still an extremely sacred place in the hearts of the people of the country.

In the north, it belongs to the three villages of Yucheng.

Chen Bai, who traveled long distance for two months, finally arrived at the place where he took office before the winter solstice.

Wrapped in a thick bear-skin jacket, Chen Bai brought two guards assigned to him by the Ministry of War, and came to this small village with only about 100 people. He will serve as the village chief for five years in this strange land job.

"Mr. Chen, this is Guiyu Sancun!" said a guard.

Chen Bai nodded and said, "This is the place. You two have worked hard to protect me along the way. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to come here alive."

"Mr. Chen is out of touch when he said this. We are your subordinates now. It is the responsibility of the two of us to protect you. If something happens to you, there will be no good end for the two of us. We will protect you well. After five years It is also a credit to us." The guard said slowly.

Chen Bai smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Then you two will be able to help Chen in the future."

The guard nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Mr. Chen, hurry up and enter the village. It's too cold here."

"Oh... I'm sorry, let's go! Enter the village." Chen Bai patted his forehead and suddenly said.

Stepping on the thick snow, the three of them walked to the wall of the village. A white militiaman standing on the watchtower in charge of guarding saw the person, and quickly asked in a strangely accented Mandarin, "Who is it?"

"I'm the newly appointed village chief! My name is Chen Bai, and this is my appointment document." Chen Bai said as he took out a stamped document from the package and shook it at the guard.

Paper is a very precious thing in the eyes of ordinary people, let alone ordinary people in this remote place in the north.

Seeing Chen Bai take out the paper full of words, the militiaman immediately believed it, and said to Chen Bai and the other three: "Wait a minute, I will inform the corps leader!"

Not long after, a general wearing thick animal skins and armor opened the gate of the village and led the soldiers out.

Seeing Chen Bai in a civil official's uniform, the corporal quickly stepped forward and said, "Is this the new village chief?"

Chen Bai nodded and said, "It's Mr. Chen, I don't know how to call the general."

The corporal chief waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I don't dare to call you general, I'm just a corporal chief, just call me Zhou Heizi."

Chen Bai smiled lightly: "This is my confession, please ask Wuchang Zhou to verify."

Zhou Heizi took the confession, looked at it and returned it to Chen Bai, and said with a smile: "It's okay to sue, the higher-ups have explained that there will be a new village chief who will take over here, and you came just in time. I also happened to go back to Guiyu City, a place where no bird shits, I've had enough of staying."

"What does Wuchang Zhou say? I think this place is not bad. There are mountains and rivers. There are also many wild animals. The conditions are not so difficult!" Chen Bai asked puzzled.

Zhou Heizi sighed and said, "Well, let's go in and say, it's cold, what are you doing standing here, you guys take these two robes to eat some wine and meat to warm up."

As he spoke, he dragged Chen Bai into this small village.

Walking into the gate of the village, Chen Bai saw a building style that was very different from that of Yancheng. Most of the houses on the grassland side were of brick and wood structure, while most of the houses here had half of their space underground.

Seeing Chen Bai looking at these houses, Zhou Heizi couldn't help laughing and said, "It's the first time for Village Chief Chen to see a house like this!"

Chen Bai nodded and said, "It's indeed the first time I've seen it. I don't know why the house is built like this."

"It's getting colder every day since September, and the cold weather has taken up almost half a year. Only such a house can make people feel warmer. It's unfortunate that you came here. After the winter solstice, the weather here is even colder. From now on The past six months have been tough." Zhou Heizi explained.

Chen Bai looked at the chimneys of the houses as tall as one person, and black smoke was constantly coming out. He saw that there was no extra wood in every household, and he couldn't help asking: "Wuchang Zhou, I don't think there is any preparation. There is not much wood, what do they burn in such cold weather?"

Hearing this, Zhou Heizi pointed to the yard of a family and said, "See that pile of black stones in that yard? Let's burn this!"

"How can this stone be burned!" Chen Bai asked in surprise.

"This is no ordinary stone. I wonder if Village Chief Chen has never heard of coal?" Zhou Heizi laughed.

"Are you saying this is the kind of rock that can be burned?" Chen Bai looked at the pile of coal curiously.

"That's the thing. There's a lot of coal here. Compared with wood, it can be burned for a long time. It's perfect for heating." Zhou Heizi said slowly.

"Unexpectedly, there is such a miraculous thing in this world. It seems that what is said in the book is indeed true." Chen Bai said to himself.

"In the books? Did the books in the academy introduce this thing?" Zhou Heizi looked at Chen Bai in surprise. Coal was only used in the past year, and it was impossible to see it in the capital.

"Naturally there is no such thing in the textbooks of the academy, but in the library, His Majesty mentioned it in a book called Nature, so I have some impressions." Chen Bai explained.

Zhou Heizi suddenly realized that as long as Wang Lang was involved, everything would be explained.
