Because it was downstream, Feng Wenhan, Yang Pingwei and others only spent six days to reach the intersection of the big river and the small river, and then disembarked from the boat and went ashore, and after another day's overland, passing through the northern fortress and farm along the way, the group finally returned to Xin'an Town.

It seems that the road is smooth and relaxed, but in order to achieve such transportation convenience, the Coordination Division has paid a lot of sweat, little by little to eliminate the reefs hidden under the water, as well as the whirlpool with huge suction power that can devour people's lives, this is a very delicate and cumbersome project, Feng Wenhan turned back to Xin'an Town halfway in order to recruit more people.

In addition, Lady Luck is also quite taking care of Huaxia this time, and so far no large aggressive aquatic animals have been found in the big river - in the case of more than one case of large animals, it is indeed quite lucky.

One hundred and sixty-fifth day after the crossing.

“... It's been hard all the way!" Looking at the embarrassed eight people in front of him, Li Kang was silent for a long time, and the thousand words he wanted to say were finally condensed into one sentence.

"The subordinates are entrusted by the lord, and they dare to speak up?"

"To be able to return safely, my worried heart has finally let go! What a little foreign miscellaneous things!" Li Kang smiled disapprovingly and said with relief.

"Thank you, Lord Damn! I lost some of my brothers, and I can't bring back my body, hey..."

“... I can't blame you for this! Let's first build a tomb for the sacrificial brother!"

"No!"

"Hahaha... Let's not talk about these sad things! I will go back and tidy up first, and then I will clean up the dust for you later!"

"Oh, that's right!" Everyone was about to retreat, Zhu Yi seemed to remember something, took out a manuscript from his arms, handed it to Li Kang, and said, "This is a summary of some information on the Atonement Wilderness and the Sixteen Kingdoms of Hedong, and I would like to petition the lord to read it!"

Li Kang raised his eyebrows, according to the procedure, Zhu Yi, as Feng Wenhan's subordinate, should first report any information to his direct boss Feng Wenhan, and then Feng Wenhan will read it, and then report the information that he thinks is valuable to Li Kang.

[I just don't know if he did it on purpose, or if he didn't pay attention for a while! If the latter is still the case, if the former, then he is competing for the top position too obviously, too impatient, right? If this is the case, then this kid's future is limited!]

Thinking about it, Li Kang glanced at Feng Wenhan with his eyes, and sure enough, the anger on this guy's face flashed, although he didn't have a seizure on the spot, but a thorn in his heart must have been pierced.

But Li Kang, as the lord, he can't control the dirtiness between his subordinates, and he doesn't want to care, he still said with a smile: "Oh? This has aroused my curiosity, you go down first, I will take a good look." ”

After the group left, Li Kang immediately opened Zhu Yi's manuscript, saying that he had long been hungry and thirsty for information about this world.

"The westernmost city in the Wilderness of Atonement is the City of Chaos, about one hundred and eighty miles in a straight line from the eastern border of the Great Forest at the far corner... The layout of the city is chaotic, the people are noisy, and there is almost no order... without walls..."

"The wilderness languages are confused, but the basic lingua franca is the lingua franca of the sixteen countries in Hedong... The wilderness is the penal colony of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Hedong..."

"The Sixteen Kingdoms of Hedong are located in the western part of the Wilderness of Atonement, separated by the Plateau Mountains, and connected only by a long and narrow valley, the Heaven and Earth Valley..."

"The Sixteen Kingdoms of Hedong: Zhongshan Kingdom, Ban Kingdom, Nagato Kingdom, Ming Kingdom, Xi Kingdom, Hengshan Kingdom, Sihe Kingdom, Huang Kingdom, Tian Kingdom, Fu Kingdom, Xin Kingdom, Mountain Country, Longwei Kingdom, Daqi Kingdom, Wanhai Kingdom, Lin Kingdom... Because the Sixteen Kingdoms are all located east of the Longwei River, a super river, it is named after it..."

"The Wilderness of Atonement accepts the currency of the Sixteen Kingdoms and other scarce currencies..."

"The legislation used in the Wilderness of Atonement is the same as that of the Sixteen Kingdoms of Hedong, twelve months in a year, thirty-six days in a month, every month and month, and fifteen hours a day... Now it is the 328th year of atonement, the 445th year of Nakayama Kingdom, the 401st year of Madara Province, and the 375th year of Nagato Province... November 7 of the 80th year of the Lin Kingdom and the first year of China..."

Reading this, Li Kang silently calculated in his heart, [Then today should be November... Oh no, it's December 2nd. Forehead... It's December, it's almost the New Year!Hey...]

Putting aside the sentimentality for no reason, Li Kang then began to look through it.

"Sin City is located a little south-west of Chaos City, and the distance between the two cities is about three hundred miles in a straight line... In between, the area is scattered with clusters of people ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand..."

"The city of sin is surrounded by walls, and there is simple order... The internal forces are intricate, but in general, there are three largest forces that are anxious about each other, namely the Red Leaf Gang, the Divine Dragon Gang, and the Seven Tigers Gang..."

"The City of Atonement is the largest city in the wilderness, with a permanent population of 780,000 and a floating population of 10,000 or 20,000... There is a small moat outside the city... Its city is located in the westernmost part of the wilderness, two hundred and ten miles from the City of Sin, four hundred and thirty miles from the City of Chaos, and eighty miles from the prison gate of the Sixteen Kingdoms to the east of the river..."

"On the surface, the City of Atonement is ruled by the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord is rotated by the leaders of the major forces in the city. It is speculated that it has a connection with the Bai family of Zhongshan Kingdom..."

"Located at the eastern end of the Heaven and Earth Canyon, the prison gate is the gateway to the wilderness of atonement, with more than 10,000 garrisons all year round..."

"The Atonement Wilderness has many Gobi and hills, and the topography of the north and south is obviously different, but due to the lack of development, it is even more barren, so the mineral resources cannot be assessed..."

"The wilderness is full of wild things, and fur is the main specialty of the wilderness, and it is also an important pillar to support the commercial circulation of the wilderness, and it is an indispensable source of God-given wealth for the wilderness to obtain external supplies..."

"The wilderness is populated in the south, the north is inaccessible, and the great rivers flow through the wilderness north, and in this area there is a northwest-southeast flow..."

“......”

After reading it all in one breath, Li Kang stood up and took a deep breath, then twisted his neck, and slowly paced to the window, after fading away the inexplicable sadness, he was only left with infinite ambition in his heart.

From the East China Sea to the Prison Gate, it spans thousands of miles, and the longitudinal area is thousands of miles, and if it is all occupied, no, it only needs to occupy the south, then the territory is about 500,000 square kilometers, which is about the size of five Koreas (100,000 square kilometers) and almost one and a half days of Japan's land area (370,000 square kilometers).

At the thought of being able to rule such a large territory, Li Kang couldn't stop feeling excited.

However, this state Li Kang did not last long, and it was okay to be properly obscene, so it was better to be down-to-earth now.

In the evening, Li Kang held a 'grand' reception banquet for the eight people who returned from the wilderness as promised (no wine can not hold a banquet).

At the banquet, Li Kang gave a few people a stern encouragement, emphasizing the praise of the spirit of the people who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, are not afraid of sacrifice, have the courage to face challenges and crises, never compromise in the face of difficulties, and fight to the end; he expressed great appreciation for his effective maintenance of the glorious image of our Chinese people and the prestige of our Chinese army; and finally encouraged everyone to make persistent efforts, work hard for the rise of China, have the courage to take responsibility, and have the courage to open up......

The second day, that is, the one hundred and sixty-sixth day after the crossing, the third day of December in the first year of Huaxia.

In order to expand the scale of the next transaction with the wilderness forces, Li Kang recruited a large number of crews, and exchanged ten hard sailing ships from the system regardless of the cost - due to the successful construction of the Upong fishing boat, the system unlocked the exchange qualification of the hard sailing ship - just to save the time of manual construction, at the same time, there are horses, sleds, etc., are all in preparation, just wait for the end of the army's 'recruitment' operation, you can set off immediately and start a new trade.

Speaking of the 'recruitment' operation, the army went quite smoothly this time, and apart from sporadic resistance, it almost participated in a collective winter outing.

The reason for this phenomenon is that the tribes are generally short of food and clothing in winter, and one soldier at a time does not know what kind of psychology he is in, maybe it is a boring spoof, but he really recruits workers, and before the attack, its slogan of "food and shelter" instantly disarmed a tribe, and shattered the ground on the spot.

From then on, the army had to carry out a tentative 'recruitment' before each attack, but the effect was wonderful, and the tribal people had almost no resistance to this 'high treatment', as long as they were a little sure, they immediately followed the Huaxia army back to Xin'an Town.

Not only these wild tribe natives, but even the slaves who were captured by the Huaxia army in the early days suddenly found that their lives were better and more nourishing than those of the previous free days.

As a result, the Chinese overseers were stunned to find that the slaves were becoming more and more honest, and they did not need to urge themselves at all, and they were more active in their work, and not only were they not resentful, but they were happy all day long, and seeing the 'fierce and evil' overseers was like seeing a benefactor.

The confused supervisor naturally reported to the organization, and finally made everyone, including Li Kang, confused for a while, and only recently did he gradually understand what was going on.

When the truth came out, the faces of the high-level Chinese leaders were wonderful, and under the simple offensive of the indigenous slaves, no matter how ruthless the racists were, they were embarrassed to deliberately abuse them again, and finally Li Kang made a decision: the slaves with excellent performance could be appropriately promoted to the leaders, their treatment should be improved, and the slaves could be supervised instead of the Huaxia supervisors; after ten years, they could regain their freedom.

Of course, Li Kang's previous decision was not purely out of good intentions, but also had a layer of meaning of 'using razing to control raze', so that the Chinese people could not only be removed from the Chinese people, and the suffering of the slaves in the future would have nothing to do with the Chinese people, but also artificially create class distinctions among the indigenous groups, and those slave leaders who 'got rich first' were the targets erected by Li Kang, specifically for the low-level slaves to vent their dissatisfaction.

Even if there is no such inducement, Li Kang will launch this decision in the near future.

Naturally, the main purpose of this decision must be that Li Kang is benevolent and loves the people, and cannot bear to stop the path of the indigenous slaves to ascend, and is merciful to give them a chance.

At the same time, this point of view has been hyped up among slaves in major mines and construction sites, and it has been propagated word for word to the ears of every slave, blowing desperately and every day, and Li Kang's majestic image has been erected like this.

And then decided, not to mention whether the slaves can survive for ten years, even if they can (in fact, the current situation is still very likely to survive ten years, after all, there is a shortage of human resources in China now, and every slave is wealth, so intentionally or unintentionally will try to avoid the death of slaves, and the future is unknown), Li Kang believes that after various re-education now and in the future, no matter how stubborn the rock is, after ten years of brainwashing, will sincerely 'take refuge in my Buddha', as for the insincere, hehe, can live to the end of the sentence is still insincere?

In addition, Li Kang's two orders also got an unexpected harvest, that is, the two sisters of Moon Hare and Palm Laneige were more attentive at night.
