On January 25, the second year of China, it was sunny.

The caravan finally landed in the northern part of the wilderness, and this was Yang Pingwei's second time in the wilderness.

It took only six days to get back from here at the end of last year, but this time it took a full nine days to return, and in addition to the fact that it was the cause of the anti-epidemic ship, the many difficulties in the journey were also the main culprits that caused the delay in time.

Of the twenty ships that set out, only seventeen managed to reach their destination, three of them were sleeping at the bottom of the river for one reason or another, and more than half of the cargo on the three ships was lost, but fortunately, there were few casualties, and only four unlucky ones were missing.

The life on the nine-day boat made some landlubbers want to die, that is, some people who often took the boat were a little unbearable, and one by one they were pale and looked overindulgent.

When the feet are back on land, the feeling of being down to earth is not much for the caravan members to be reborn.

After everyone rested for a while and recovered a little, everyone began to unload the goods to the shore in an orderly manner under the beckoning of their respective leaders.

At present, the main unloading is some tents, building materials and other urgently needed materials, which are used to build temporary camps and build docks, bulk goods will remain on the ship for a few days, and after the dock is built, the fleet can be close to the dock, and then it will be much more convenient to carry the goods, no need to rely on the boat to run back and forth like now, not to mention the trouble, it is not safe.

Taking advantage of the fact that some people brought a batch of tents first, and the other part began to camp on the spot, the originally desolate river bank instantly became a large construction site, bustling, lively, and civilized.

No matter what era it is, as long as it is not for show or when it comes to life and death, the high-level will not do rough work by themselves, and Huaxia is no exception, and Li Kang has no intention of asking his subordinates to make an exception.

No, everyone is busy, there are a handful of people who are idle and idle, in order not to hinder others from working, or feel that others are working, they are a little embarrassed to wait for others to do it next to them, Feng Wenhan proposed to go around the shopping, the reasons are all thought of, step on the point, both incisive and reasonable!

Naturally, this proposal was supported by everyone, especially Duanmu Ci, Yao Fei and others, who had come to such a place for the first time, and they were very curious about the legendary Wilderness of Atonement.

After a few words of explanation with his subordinates, the group was equipped with saddle horses, each with only a few guards, and chose a random direction and started... Stepping on the point.

"It's so desolate!" Yao Fei put his hand on the pergola, and everywhere he came into view, there was all white snow and withered grass, and he said with a lot of emotion.

"It's really desolate, but it's not like the creatures are extinct, there are still animals!" Yang Pingwei continued, "If you're lucky, you can also encounter a large-scale migration of herbivorous fauna similar to cattle and sheep, if you really encounter it, hey, you will find that carnivores that usually don't know where to hide will also pop up one after another, staring at the green eyes and following the herd." ”

"Oh, is there such a thing, did Lord Yang see it with his own eyes?" asked Yao Fei curiously.

"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I've heard it said, and more than one person has said it, there are people from the three main cities of the Atonement Wilderness, and there are also horse bandit captives who attacked us last time, and the credibility is still very high!" Yang Pingwei explained lightly.

"That's... It's exciting!" Everyone imagined the picture of ten thousand beasts galloping in their minds, and they couldn't help but be fascinated.

At this time, Duanmu Ci suddenly turned over and dismounted, and squatted on the ground.

The crowd didn't know what he was going to do, but they all dismounted.

"Brother Duanmu, what are you doing here?" Feng Wenhan stepped forward and asked.

"Oh... Let everyone laugh, just come down and see how the soil is!" Duanmu Ci threw the soil in his hand back to the ground, clapped his hands, and stood up.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and a few people even squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt to rub and smell like Duanmuci.

"Not to mention, although this place is desolate, the land is not barren, it is almost the same as that of my hometown, these natives are really incompetent!" Among this group of people, Yao Fei's background is low, he is one of the few people who has personally farmed the field, so he has the most right to speak.

"If the natives are not incompetent, how can this place be easy to cheapen us!" Duanmu Ci was not as angry as Yao Fei, and said with a smile.

"Hahaha... Reasonable!"

"Although the climate here is cold, there is a harvest every year, and it is enough to manage the lives of local residents!" Yao Fei said with certainty.

"It's just... Now is not the time, I can only grieve them for a few more years!" Feng Wenhan said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's not talk about it!Let's go around first!" Yang Pingwei smiled and turned over his horse, "Maybe you can meet the migration of beasts!"

In the end, they failed to get their wish, but only hunted a few unlucky snow hares, grouse, and other wild animals, and returned in a huff.

When the group returned to the river bank where they landed, it was already lunchtime, and the camp was basically set up.

"Take these down and deal with them, add a meal at noon, keep a few for us, and divide the rest among yelves. As soon as he returned to the camp, Yao Fei instructed the guards to dispose of their prey.

"No!"

"You're really anxious!" Yang Pingwei is still very satisfied with this new partner, after his former partner Qin Han was transferred, he was still a little worried that the new military commander would not get along well, but he didn't expect that Yao Fei, who was transferred, was much more straightforward than Qin Han, and his mind was shallow.

"If you have the ability, don't you eat?" Yao Fei said bluntly.

"Hahaha... You can just give me your share, I have a big appetite!" Shan Cheng also rarely ran out to coax.

"Eat! Why don't you eat! It's not cheap, you guys!" Yang Pingwei said pretending to be angry.

"Hahaha..."

Time flies, three days pass in a blink of an eye.

After two days of hard work, a simple cement and wood wharf was completed, and after another day of transportation, all the goods ready for trade were successfully unloaded from the ship to the shore.

Now, it's time for the caravan to set off for the City of Atonement.

Here, the entire caravan will be divided into two, and a part of the people will go to the City of Atonement with Yang Pingwei, Shan Cheng, Duanmu Ci and others, and will be escorted by a hundred Huaxia troops.

The remaining 100 Huaxia troops will be led by Yao Fei himself to protect the artisans and ordinary people stranded on the riverbank.

According to Li Kang's orders, they will build military forts on the spot at the landing site, expand the docks, build new warehouses and civilian houses, and prepare for long-term entrenchment.

Moreover, for a long time in the future, the focus of the Coordination Department will be on Hedong, so Feng Wenhan, as the leader of the Coordination Department, was also sent by Li Kang to sit here so that he could arrange work nearby.

"Brother Feng, let's stop here!" One mile south of the landing site, Yang Pingwei and the others were saying goodbye to Feng Wenhan, who had come to see him off.

"Everyone, go all the way! I hope you can succeed this time!" Feng Wenhan hugged his fists and said.

Everyone didn't say anything, and after nodding at Feng Wenhan in turn, they turned around and got on their horses and chased after the convoy.

"We'll go too!" After standing in place for a while, Feng Wenhan also took his entourage back to the camp.
