The fire spread so widely that it burned for more than ten days, and when everyone stood on the top of the hill and looked into the distance, they could still see the faint light of the fire.

With such a serious forest fire, if it continues to burn like this, Poplar is a little worried about whether it will ignite the entire jungle in the southwest.

It is easy to set fires and difficult to extinguish fires, and after the fire is completed, it is not for Chen Yang and the others to consider what harm to cause.

Most of their tasks are completed under this fire, and the next thing is to follow the footprints of the flames and clean up those leaks.

Although it is difficult for any creatures to survive such a severe forest fire, just in case, the two of them also led an army to form a skirmish formation and sweep the area.

Yancheng, in an ordinary house.

Zhao Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites is now tasked with teaching the dinosaur man to read and write, and due to the difference in vocal organs, humans and dinosaur people cannot communicate with each other with sound.

In different language systems, the learning process of dinosaur people is very slow, and after a few months, except for the relatively easy to understand numbers, dinosaur people have learned only a hundred words.

Most of these more than 100 are nouns, and as for how to teach other words, it makes poor Zhao Langzhong sad.

For example, a simple adjective is beautiful, and he has to explain the meaning of these two words with a lot of beautiful things, and under such slow teaching, it takes a lot of effort to get important information from the mouth of this dinosaur man.

Xiao Langzhong was lying on the recliner in the small courtyard, basking in the sun leisurely, in the house, the dinosaur man sat on the chair like a snake, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Zhao Langzhong lying in the small courtyard, three fingers clenched into a fist, and then slowly released, he knew that the short human in front of him, he could easily kill it, but after killing him, he would definitely not survive.

Having been in the human world for so long, it knows very well how terrible humans are in this new continent, and it is not at all the stupid monkey-like creatures of the old continent.

These humans are so intelligent, although it subconsciously thinks that these humans are beasts, but intellectually tells it that these humans are intelligent beings who can sit on an equal footing with their own race.

He didn't know what kind of storm it would cause if the situation in the New World spread to the Old World.

Maybe there's going to be a killing operation, the dinosaur man thought.

Then he shook his head again, the situation in the old continent has nothing to do with him, how can those noble lords care about the life and death of their nobody, after the initial fear and fear, for so long, human beings have not hurt themselves, but they live more comfortably than the home they once had.

Leaving the jumbled thoughts in his head, the dinosaur man picked up a book on the table, which was said to be a literacy book for human cubs.

"Human nature is inherently good!" In this book, it only knows these few words, and feels that human writing is too complicated, but the meaning of this sentence is roughly understood after the patient explanation of the human in the courtyard.

This sentence is very philosophical, and he estimates that even those wise people in his own country may not be able to say such philosophical words, and he can't help but admire the human wise man who wrote this book.

It doesn't recognize the text in the back, but the disease doesn't hinder its desire to read it, and although the human text is complex, some of them are very interesting hieroglyphs like stick figures, and occasionally you can guess what it means.

Having lived in the human world for so long, he is very envious of human family relationships, dinosaur people do not have the concept of family, and the little dinosaurs are not as weak as human cubs after hatching, although the young dragons have low intelligence, but their physical strength is far from being comparable to that of human cubs.

The world of dinosaur people is a world of the jungle, the strong can have everything, the weak can only be at the mercy of the strong, as the lowest dinosaur, it is not qualified to enjoy the right to mate, and it does not know which of its parents is.

When he saw human parents raising their children, he was extremely envious of this family relationship, and he had an intuition that although the intelligent human race was relatively rare, it thought that these human beings might be able to survive the encirclement of the dinosaur civilization in the Old World, and maybe they could bring new changes to the decaying dinosaur civilization, and he hoped that he would live to see that day?

Zhao Langzhong woke up from his lunch break, yawned, looked into the house, and saw that the dinosaur man was studying, and nodded with satisfaction.

After a few months of getting along, he has gone from being afraid of this strange creature to being indifferent now, and now he is able to treat this ugly guy with a normal heart.

People can be ruthless, and this dinosaur man has been with him for a long time, although he is not a friend with it, at least he will not be an enemy.

After tidying up his clothes, Zhao Langzhong walked over slowly.

The arrival of Zhao Langzhong did not arouse the slightest interest of the dinosaur people, and he held the brush with three fingers and carefully wrote the words on the three-character scripture.

Zhao Langzhong glanced at the crooked water traces on the wooden board, and nodded with satisfaction, Wang Lang gave him more than a year to let this guy communicate with humans simply, and now half of the time has passed, and now this dinosaur man is so cooperative, and he has a lot of confidence in completing this task in his heart.

The dinosaur man put down his pen, grinned at Zhao Langzhong, raised his hand, and motioned for Zhao Langzhong to sit.

Zhao Langzhong smiled and sat opposite it, although he knew that it couldn't understand his own words, but he still said slowly: "Your people will attack us soon, I want to know what you think now, our human country is so powerful, you won't win, you better work hard, learn our words, and talk to your people when the time comes, let them go back where they come from, after all, the war is to kill people, whose life is not life, and it is wasted in fighting each other." ”

The dinosaur man didn't know what this guy was muttering to himself, but until he just kept smiling and listening, he knew from his contact with humans that this expression was a way to convey kindness.

Two people of different species, speaking in a language that they didn't understand each other, and the two of them talked about their own things without feeling anything out of the ordinary, as if two neurotics were talking to outsiders.

Time passed slowly in the tense preparations of the Xia Kingdom, and when the grain was received in the second quarter of the sixth year of Taichu, the sequelae of the reckless military force began to manifest itself.

This season's grain output is at least about 30 percent lower than a year ago.

In the summer of this year, the main grain-producing areas of the country did not encounter natural disasters, and the reason for the reduction in output was still related to the loss of a large number of strong laborers.

Listening to Kong Er's report, Wang Lang let out a long sigh, although the collective farm system was implemented, it could only be maintained at the current level.

With the reduction of grain production, prices have also risen a lot.

Half a year ago, three copper coins could sell for a pound of corn, but now it has risen to five copper coins, and the quality of life of the Chinese people can be said to have taken a sharp turn.

Ordinary people basically don't have any spare money to buy extra things except for their usual food and clothing.

Although the quality of life of the common people has declined, the situation in the army is different, most of the tax revenue of the Xia State is used in the army, and the food supply of the soldiers has not been affected by the reduction in food production.

Wang Lang estimates that this state will last for a long time, but in the face of the life and death of the race, even if it is difficult, he must get through.

In order to maintain domestic stability, Wang Lang ordered the Jinyi Guard and the Criminal Department to arrest all those who made trouble during this period and put them in prison.

Time passed little by little, and two years passed in Xia Guo's intense preparations.

Two years have made the former recruits become veterans, the southwest region has been pacified, after the poplar and the two came back, they told the process of extermination, and Wang Lang immediately knew what the black liquid was.

Although oil was not very useful in this era, refining it into petrol bombs was a good weapon of killing.

With the replenishment of the population in the southwest, the shortage of labor in the Xia Kingdom was suddenly alleviated, and Li Mu transported nearly 80,000 people to the Xia Kingdom in the past two years.

In addition to opening up the southwest, when the new sea ship was launched, he immediately sent a boat to start whaling in the season when the whales returned, and the oil lamps and candles made of whale oil were very resistant to burning, and the appearance of whale oil immediately replaced the original materials, with rich production, so that candles could also enter the homes of ordinary people, bringing light to the night.

Up to now, except for the uninhabited desert in the west, the Shenzhou Continent has been fully explored, except for the humans living in the horns, the human beings on this continent have been all concentrated in the Xia Kingdom.

In the statistics of the ninth year of Taichu, the population of Xia Kingdom has exceeded 800,000.

With these 800,000 people, as well as an army of 200,000 that had been trained for nearly three years, plus the initial semi-industrialization, the Xia State already had the capital to defend its homeland.

Dinosaur people, who have lived in the human world for nearly three years, are now able to communicate with humans in writing, although they can't speak, but they and Zhao Langzhong have been learning from each other, and they can understand each other's languages.

Now it has a human name, which is chosen from the Three Character Classic, called Fang Shaoshi.

Wang Lang learned from Fang Shaoshi's mouth that the country where the dinosaurs are located is called the Shilunjia Dynasty, there are almost a dozen countries in the entire American continent, the Shilunjia Empire belongs to the middle and upper level, and the Neil Dynasty in the Brazilian region of the Americas has always been in a dominant position, with a population of nearly five million people.

It's just that this powerful empire is now fighting with the empire of the African continent, and the civilization level of the dinosaur people in the old continent is also high and low.

The American continent is at war all the year round due to geographical limitations, and the three continents of America, Europe, and Atlantis have been conquest of each other for hundreds of years, and the military level is extremely advanced.

The large regions of the East, on the other hand, are not as complex as these three continents.

The three empires of similar strength in the East divided Asia into a delicate balance.

Although the Old World was ruled by dinosaur people, these dinosaur people were also divided into several races.

Dinosaur people in the Americas are the same tailless dinosaurs as they were when they were younger, and they look no different from humans on the outside.

But the Asian and European dinosaurs were a completely different race, where they were smaller, walking upright, but with a long tail trailing behind their buttocks.

Regarding the human situation in the Old World, Wang Lang only sighed after hearing it.

Due to the suppression of the dinosaur people, the humans there are smarter than ordinary animals, but compared to the level of human intelligence in the Shenzhou Continent, the humans there are no different from fools.

For intelligent species, humans there are beasts, and dinosaur people have trained humans to be no different from livestock.

After millions of years of reproduction, human beings have been divided into many breeds like pigs, and the delicious meat has become a delicacy on the table of dinosaur people, and those clever have been trained into pets.

From the perspective of humans, it is natural that their fellow people end up like this, but from the perspective of dinosaur people, there is nothing wrong with them doing this.

Just like humans, any animal can become a food, or a domestic animal pet, if one day, suddenly find that the pet in the family suddenly appears wise, and build a civilization that is more advanced than themselves, how will human beings feel?

Wang Lang only thought of fear and threats, and he believed that the same was true of the dinosaur people, and those dinosaur people who fled back, after bringing back the human situation here, he believed that the human beings on those continents would face extinction.

After so many years, I don't know how many humans are left in the Old World.

But with the current strength of the Xia Kingdom, it is still insufficient to barely protect itself, and if you want to keep your fellow clan in dire straits, you just have more than enough heart and not enough strength.

With his own life, Wang Lang can also understand how the dinosaur man Fang felt in the past three years, putting himself on an equal footing with humans who were originally pets and livestock, and even became a prisoner, you can imagine how much pressure he felt in his heart.

has been able to hold on for so long, and now that he has adapted to the change of identity, he has to look up at this side when he is young.

Wang Lang didn't know why Shi Lunjia Dinosaur Kingdom didn't attack Shenzhou after so long, although the enemy didn't come for a long time, but the armament of Xia Kingdom still didn't fall at all.

With the installation of bronze heavy artillery and steel field artillery, the military level of the Xia Kingdom has increased several times.

The ships had bronze heavy artillery, which played a vital role in the coastal defense of Bactria .

Xia now has a navy of only 5,000 people, and there are only ten warships, but if the Shilunjia Dinosaur Kingdom makes another expedition to Xia Kingdom, even if they break through the navy's defense line with their huge numbers, the coastal batteries will let these enemies experience what is called a meat grinder-style war.

Although the principle of musket artillery is the same, the problem of insufficient power cannot be solved for a long time, and the musket with insufficient power has no actual combat value at all, and the power of the original musket cannot be compared with the bow and arrow at all.
