"Chief, there seem to be some beasts staring at us over there!" A soldier suddenly reported.

When Wang Lang heard this, he looked in the direction pointed by the soldiers, and sure enough, he saw several wild beasts behind the dirt slope that looked like wolves but not wolves, and looked sneakily in this direction.

"All on alert, the bed crossbow is aimed at that side." Wang Lang quickly commanded.

The soldiers immediately took action, untied the giant deer pulling the bed crossbow, and quickly adjusted the direction of the bed crossbow to aim at the beasts.

Seeing that his whereabouts were revealed, one of the beasts let out a howl, and the others scattered and ran in the direction of the group.

In the face of this group of ferocious beasts, the giant deer pulling the cart suddenly became restless. Pulling the reins with all his might, trying to escape from this dangerous place, the soldiers in charge of taking care of the giant deer struggled to pacify them.

"Keep an eye on the leader and find a chance to kill it!" Wang Lang said coldly.

Hearing this, the archer nodded, and aimed his bow and arrow at the leader of the beasts.

The four beasts ran over at a fast speed, scattered, and stared at Wang Lang and them fiercely.

The only two archers in the team were protected in formation.

"Whoosh!"

An archer spotted his chance and fired an arrow at the leader of the beast.

But the beast moved very nimblely, and with a slight leap, it easily dodged the arrow.

However, at this moment, the second archer also shot his own arrow.

Before the beast could land steadily, the bastard had no time to dodge the arrow, and the sharp arrow pierced its stomach at once, and it fell to the ground with a scream.

The leader was killed in an instant, and the remaining three beasts immediately panicked, scattered one after another, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Wang Lang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to the soldiers. Let's see if the thing is dead, if it doesn't die, if it's not dead, it's dead, and it's thrown in the car.

The battle was over in the blink of an eye, and the soldiers were relieved to be alarmed.

Two soldiers went forward to check on the beast, and seeing that it was not yet dead, they immediately replenished a spear and pierced its head, and the two men carried the body to the cart.

This beast Wang Lang had never seen before, and it looked like a wolf for seven points, and some looked like a bear, in short, it looked very weird.

He touched the beast's fur and said with a smile, "This fur is good, it's good to take it off and use it as a blanket." ”

The people who had a false alarm quickly regained their composure and drove the deer cart back to the tribe slowly.

After four days of back and forth, the meteorite collection team arrived at the tribe's range in the evening.

Back to not lagging behind, Wang Lang asked people to take care of these meteorites, these are very likely to be iron things, although they don't have much practical value now, but in the future, when the smelting technology is more mature, it will definitely come in handy.

After settling down, Wang Lang sent someone to call Lin Huo over.

"How's the road going?" Wang Lang asked.

"We've already cultivated a long distance, and in four or five days we'll be able to cultivate the place where we first met that kind of big snake." Lin Huo said slowly.

Wang Lang estimated the progress, according to the current cutting speed, if there are no accidents, two or three months, it should be possible to roughly repair to the side of the fruit forest, but if you want vehicles to pass, it may take longer, but he also knows that the current speed is already the current limit of the tribe.

"Well done, by the way, how's the slave doing?" Wang Lang asked.

"What do you mean?" Lin Huo asked.

"How many died, and did anything revolt happen?"

"Three or four slaves died, and those who died were killed for not working well, but there was no resistance." Lin Hong replied.

"Slaves don't be too urgent, just keep it at this level, if you resist, it will be troublesome for us to suppress it." Wang Lang said.

Lin Huo said disapprerovingly: "Lang, you don't have to worry about these at all, those slaves with weapons are not our opponents, with their current physical strength, if they dare to resist, they will find death." ”

Wang Lang smiled and said, "It's better to be careful, we can't afford too much chaos now." ”

Lin Huo nodded and said, "I see." ”

"It's been a hard time for you, and the road will be repaired as soon as possible, so that we can eat that delicious fruit." Wang Lang said.

"Hehe, when it comes to that fruit, don't say it's those soldiers, I salivate when I think about those tastes now." Lin Huo said with a smile.

"During the time I'm gone, is there any news from the riverside?"

Lin Huo shook his head and said, "The battle is over, what can they do." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Huo seemed to remember something, patted his thigh and said, "By the way, Lang, this victory, how to deal with the reward of the soldier." ”

After Lin Huo's reminder, Wang Lang also remembered that there was such a thing.

But he is also a little entangled now, about the reward, for those recruits, it's okay to say, it's nothing more than to give names, but for those veterans, he really doesn't know what to give.

Although the thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, but for the current situation of the tribe, there must be practical benefits to make the soldiers fight to the death, and if the reward is too heavy, it will fall into an embarrassing situation in the future, and if the reward is too light, there will inevitably be some complaints.

Wang Lang rubbed his temples with a headache, and said to Lin Huo: "I'll talk about this matter later, you tell the soldiers when you go back, don't worry about their rewards." ”

The two continued to talk for a while, and when it was getting late, Wang Lang asked Lin Huo to retreat.

After Lin Huo left, Wang Lang pondered the question of the rewards of the soldiers.

For the current communal tribes, the food belongs to everyone, the weapons belong to everyone, and almost everything except women is public.

Thinking of the idea of private ownership here, I can't help but think of it, if there is private ownership, the clansmen have their own property, the reward is a headache at all, just give the money and land and it's over, where will it be so troublesome like now.

"It's time to try private ownership, and public ownership is a bit less trial for now." Wang Lang muttered to himself.

However, it is not a simple matter to change from public ownership to private ownership, and the distribution of interests is a very troublesome matter.

Now that he had decided to carry out the reform, Wang Lang had to be fully prepared, and he planned to find a way to make it best for the people to subtly accept the concept of private ownership.

While Wang Lang was meditating, Fanxing came over with Wang He in his arms, and sat beside Wang Lang with some hesitation to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
