Seeing that Chen Bai had fallen into a trance, the man surnamed Li smiled and said, "How is Village Chief Chen's book?" ”

Chen Bai came back to his senses, his face was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry just now, what is written in this book is really interesting, and I was a little fascinated by it, which made Brother Li smile." ”

The man surnamed Li disagreed, waved his hand and said: "Don't say that this book is Village Chief Chen, when it first came out a few months ago, it was very popular in the capital, and those bizarre stories may be something that happened before, maybe there is really a god named Pangu who created this world." ”

Chen Bai nodded and said, "There is indeed such a possibility!" ”

"Village Chief Chen, just listen to this bizarre thing, why don't you want to invite me to a drink?"

Chen Bai suddenly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Li, please!" ”

The man surnamed Li smiled, followed Chen Bai into the village, looked at the orderly houses in the village, and couldn't help nodding again and again, although this is only a small village, but the village is very clean, and there is no smell of human and animal feces and urine, I think it must be Chen Bai's strict requirements.

"Village Chief Chen is a good method, these three villages are much better than the rest of the villages, and they will definitely be able to go further after the end of their term."

When Chen Bai heard this, he smiled and said, "I don't have any ability, I just hope that there won't be any big mess in the past five years." ”

While talking, the two had already arrived at Chen Bai's residence.

"Brother Li, it's noon at the moment, let's sell the goods after eating!" Chen Bai said slowly.

"Then it's going to trouble Village Chief Chen."

"What's the trouble here, it's just that this remote place can't be compared to returning to Yucheng, and I hope Brother Li doesn't mind."

"Village Chief Chen is polite!" The man surnamed Li arched his hand.

"Brother Li, please!"

"Village Chief, please!"

After entering the house, Chen Bai personally cooked and prepared a fairly hearty meal, after the two of them were full of food and drink.

In the afternoon, the trading post began to sell goods, and the villagers who had already received the news came to the chrysalis, since Chen Bai went to Guiyucheng to find the prefect and told the villagers' requirements, the prefect felt that it was indeed a good thing to let the trading post regularly sell goods in the villages, and since then, the villagers' living materials have suddenly enriched a lot.

The main goods purchased by the villagers are grain, and the north does not produce grain, although the grain production of Xia is abundant, but it is not easy to transport it to the north, and the rice and noodles here are much more expensive than those in the south.

But for the villagers, although food is expensive, it is much cheaper than meat, and more importantly, it can be stored for a longer time.

You only need to buy two sacks of grain at a time, which is enough for a family of three to eat for more than a month.

In addition to the grain, there are other miscellaneous things brought by the trading post this time, vegetable seeds, some ornaments and cloth, from which you can see the current fashion trend of the Xia Kingdom.

After solving the problem of food, humans tend to pursue more things, and women slowly begin to think about their appearance.

The human aesthetic faculties seem to be innate, and those women tend to be more interested in brightly colored fabrics and jewelry than men.

More than a dozen truckloads of goods were reduced by half in less than half a day, and both sides of the transaction had to get what they wanted.

After resting for a night in Guiyu Village, Chen Bai took the man surnamed Li to the place where the beast was kept in captivity.

"Brother Li, these beasts were captured by the villagers during this time, you have a lot of knowledge, see how much these things can be sold for."

The man surnamed Li looked at a large animal pen in surprise, and said: "Village Chief Chen, these beasts are good things, and they are all alive, you look at these bears, if such a one grows up, it can be sold for at least a hundred yuan." ”

Chen Bai was overjoyed in his heart, "Brother Li, what about the others?" ”

The man surnamed Li glanced at the other beast pens and said, "The other beasts don't have much value other than killing and eating meat, but there are a lot of them here, and even if you buy them, it's a lot of money." ”

"Brother Li, I have an idea, you have also seen it, we have a lot of beasts here, especially a lot of cubs, it is very difficult to raise them with the ability of our village, these are basically the limits, I think it's a pity to kill and sell meat, can you please help." Chen Bai said slowly.

"Oh, what does Village Chief Chen want to do?"

"I think so, can you ask Brother Li to go to other villages, tell them about the situation on our side, if you need to buy cubs to raise, you can come to our village, we plan to sell cubs, if possible, it is best to sell these cubs to all parts of the Xia Kingdom." Chen Bai said in a deep voice.

The man surnamed Li pondered for a while and said, "Village Chief Chen is worthy of being knowledgeable, and he can actually think of such a good method, so that Guiyu San Village will become the richest village in the north." ”

Chen Bai smiled and said, "If you can really succeed, you will definitely not treat Brother Li badly." ”

When the man surnamed Li heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Village Chief Chen, don't worry, this matter is on me, but if you want the people from the trading post to help you pass on this news, Village Chief Chen is afraid that it will cost you some money." ”

"It's okay, if you can really have the power of the trading post to help, you should spend some money." Chen Bai said disapprerovingly.

"Okay, in that case, don't worry, Village Chief Chen, you just wait for my good news!" The man surnamed Li patted his chest and reassured.

"Then thank you, Brother Li." Chen Bai said gratefully.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the trading post bought some skins from the villagers, and hurried to another village at dawn.

At the same time, on the other side of the Shenzhou Continent, seven or eight huge ships were slowly sailing on the sea, and the direction they were traveling was exactly where the Xia Kingdom was.

And the humans of Xia are ignorant of the impending threat, and as life gets better and better, the people of the country are full of hope for the future life, and the whole country is living and working in peace and contentment.

The new harbor had already begun to expand, and the advent of hydraulic hammers made steel less expensive, and bronze tools were replaced by steel tools, allowing the road to be opened many times faster than when bronze was used before.

The first workers to build the new port had already been escorted by soldiers into the dense jungle and headed for the southern coastline.

The accompanying officials of the Ministry of Works, who had already learned how to fire cement before setting out, would make the second port a strong fortress using new materials, and the enemy would not be able to easily attack it.

The fifth year of the first month, the end of June!

After more than a year of development, the pioneering teams of all walks of life have expanded to the limit of the land, the tribes of the northern jungle and the western steppe have been completely conquered, and the captured population is nearly 300,000 people, although some people have died, but under the policy of encouraging childbirth in the Xia country, counting the newly born babies, the total population has exceeded 500,000.

Most of the humans in the Shenzhou Continent are concentrated in the eastern region, and the western part has basically become a no-man's land.

In a year, many new cities were built, and Wang Lang also stationed heavy troops in coastal cities, and the total number of troops has exceeded 30,000.

The city of Harbour alone was garrisoned with three thousand troops and countless gunpowders.

In the harbor city, Wu Gang led four warships to swim on the sea, and the newly developed crystal telescope of the Ministry of Industry has been equipped with various armies.

Crystal lenses are difficult to grind, and only generals of the rank of general and above are lucky enough to get one.

Wu Gang held the telescope and looked around at the situation on the sea, he couldn't put down the magical telescope in his hand, and observing the situation in the distance was already a habit for him every day.

In the circular field of view of the telescope, some seabirds and pterosaurs chase each other, staging a thrilling aerial chase drama.

When Wu Gang moved his vision away and cast it on the sea in the east, some black spots suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Wu Gang was shocked, and hurriedly pointed the telescope in that direction, the black dots slowly enlarged in his field of vision, and he finally saw what those things were.

"Homecoming! Hurry back! Wu Gang shouted in horror.

The soldier looked at Wu Gang with some doubts, not knowing why he had to return to the plane, and it was not yet time for the end of the daily training.

Wu Gang saw that the soldiers were still stunned, and his heart was anxious

, roared: "What are you doing here, hurry back, the enemy is attacking!" ”

Hearing the presence of the enemy, the soldiers were immediately alarmed, and the standard-bearers on the watchtower hurriedly waved the flags and signaled the other three boats to return.

The fleet hurriedly galloped in the direction of Harbor City, and as soon as the ship docked, Wu Gang hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rush back to report the news.

Black Corner, who had just been promoted to the commander of the harbor, sat bored in the castle tower, drinking a cold drink, looking at the blue sea and yawning.

In the field of vision, a soldier was suddenly seen coming in panic, apparently dressed as a sailor of the Navy.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The sailor ran to the city wall and shouted hoarsely.

Hearing this, the cup in Heijiao's hand fell to the ground, and he hurriedly ran down the city tower and ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

When the sailor saw the black horn, he immediately bowed and said, "Chief soldier, there are a large number of unknown fleets on the sea!" ”

"Unknown fleet, how is it possible!" Heijiao exclaimed, but soon he reacted, these years of peaceful life almost made him forget the dinosaur people mentioned by Wang Lang, if the unknown fleet on the sea is not from Xia Guo, then it is very likely that it is those dinosaur people.

"Send a signal to the fortress immediately, mobilize all troops to go over to support immediately, light the beacon fire, and the dragoons will immediately return to the capital to report to Your Majesty!" Black Horn gave several orders in succession.

Several guards hurried away when they heard this.

The well-trained army was quickly assembled and trotted to the fort at the harbor, where large trebuchets were placed to prevent the sudden appearance of the enemy on the sea.

Wu Gang stared nervously at the situation on the sea, but there were no ships in his field of vision, and he didn't know if he hadn't come here or gone somewhere else.

As Heijiao rushed to reinforcements with the army, Wu Gang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with the addition of the Great Xia Army, even if he was defeated, it would be difficult for the enemy to break through here.

"General Wu, where is the enemy now?" Blackhorn asked.

"I don't know, but I should be there soon, Chief, I think it's better to send dragoons to the sea to have a look." Wu Gang suggested.

Black Horn nodded, turned around and ordered, "Send two dragoons to the sea to check at once!" ”

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the herald hurried in the direction of the fortress.

The two of them looked at the dragoons flying out of the fortress, their expressions full of solemnity.

"Are they really those dinosaur people?" Heijiao said with a solemn face.

Wu Gang nodded and said: "It is very likely that the previous dinosaur people came from this direction, this time it seems that His Majesty's worries are really right, thanks to our Xia Kingdom unifying most of the Semi-Divine Prefecture, otherwise the consequences will be really serious." ”

Black Horn nodded, but did not speak, staring at the sea.

It didn't take long for the dragoons to return.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, a large-scale unidentified fleet has been found on the sea ahead, and it has stopped twenty miles away from here, I don't know what to do again?" The dragoon shouted.

"Can you see what they look like?" Blackhorn asked.

"I can't see it clearly, but it looks weird, not like a human." The dragoon said with some hesitation.

The two of them glanced at each other, and their hearts sank.

"Probe!" Black Horn commanded.

"Yes!"

The dragoons bowed their hands and rode into the sky on the pterosaurs.

"General Wu, if you start to do it later, it will mainly depend on your navy at that time." Black Horn said solemnly.

Wu Gang arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, if these people really have malicious intentions towards us, I will definitely let them die at the bottom of the sea." ”

The black dot nodded, but the clenched fists could tell the nervousness in his heart.

After a long time, only one of the two dragoons returned.

Heijiao was shocked in his heart, and asked in a panic: "What's the matter, why are you the only one who came back." ”

"Commander, those monsters attacked us with powerful bed crossbows, and another robe was killed! They've already killed here. The dragoon said with a sad expression.

Hearing this, Heijiao's face turned extremely pale, and he pulled out the steel knife on his waist, and roared angrily: "All ready, those who dare to offend my Great Xia will be killed!" ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers roared loudly, for so long, Great Xia had not encountered an enemy who dared to challenge him, and in the face of the death of Pao Ze for no reason, it immediately made the soldiers extremely angry.

"General Wu, please ask you." The black horn's face was very solemn.

Since these people had already taken the lead, there was no possibility of a peaceful resolution of this matter, and the majesty of Great Xia would never allow anyone to infringe on it.

Wu Gang nodded, boarded the boat, and said in a loud voice: "Robes, the enemy offended my Great Xia, kill my Pao Ze brothers, and kill the enemy with me!" ”

"Kill!"

With the angry roar of the soldiers, the four warships were lined up, facing the enemy without fear, such a long time of training, this battle is also a time to test the results of naval training.

On the sea ahead, it was visible to the naked eye, and seven or eight warships were sailing quickly towards this side.
