"Ask them, how far is that big city from here?" Wang Kunfeng told the translator.

The translation is also a bit difficult. He was also trying to catch the ducks on the shelves at the time, and spent money to find some local people to learn some commonly used dialects. However, these natives living in remote areas, although they also speak dialects, have a strong dialect flavor. , The speed of speech was so fast that he had to signal the other party to slow down and gesture to each other, so that he could barely communicate.

After pointing fingers again, the translator wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, turned his head and reported to Wang Kunfenghui: "They said that it takes about 20 days to walk from here to Dacheng."

"Ask him if there are other big villages nearby, and is there a market town for buying and selling things?"

"He said that those big villages are far away, and there are no market towns that sell goods. They hunt by themselves, and dig salt in the mountains. Only when the yellow fruits are ripe, people from the big cities will come to let them pick fruits and hunt wild animals. Those people Will give them some food and cloth."

Bai Chunsheng was speechless for a while, feeling that this is the ancient version of the Amazon jungle, right?Otherwise, how can there be any villages that never come into contact with outsiders?I have souvenirs and no place to sell them, and I have to wait for people to come to my door to exchange for some food?

Speaking of food—

"Ask them again, what do the people here usually eat? Have they grown any food and vegetables?"

The translator secretly sighed, this topic is good, he is very proficient in using common words such as grain and vegetables.

Sure enough, this time the translation almost didn't use hand gestures, just paused a few times to think about some vocabulary, and then ended the topic, and reported to Bai Chunshenghui with some disappointment——

"Back to the princess, they said that people here don't grow food and vegetables, because wild animals are very powerful and will eat those things. Their food is hunting pheasants, weed rats, and a kind of snake meat, and It’s the coconuts on the seashore, sometimes they go to the sea to catch fish, but the fish are not tasty, so they only go to the sea to catch fish to eat when they can’t catch other prey.”

Bai Chunsheng was not disappointed when he heard this. In fact, he was already mentally prepared for this answer. The living environment here is so harsh. Just now when he walked around this small village, he didn't even see a vegetable field. It is guessed that these aborigines would not grow crops at all because of the living environment, let alone raise any poultry and livestock.

After getting the answer he wanted, Wang Kunfeng ordered someone to take them down and resettle them when he saw that the natives were also a bit sluggish. Although these natives have never been to the so-called big city, they seem to be familiar with the surrounding environment Well, if they want to build a garrison camp here, they must ask these natives to help them identify and point out some local flora and fauna, landforms and climate. Wang Kunfeng hopes that through the exemplary role of these aborigines, more nearby aborigines can be attracted to join them.

After all, if things are really like what the natives said, the nobles in the big city never care about their lives, then, in contrast, your own army can protect them from being hunted and hurt by monsters, which is what attracts the natives to join them The biggest plus.

Although these aborigines were taken in, Wang Kunfeng ordered people to strengthen the guards again that night, and the number of patrols also increased. The heart of defense is indispensable. Who knows if these aborigines are the nails sent by other forces to lurk?

However, it turns out that they really thought too much. Those aborigines thought that they had finally become the slaves of the nobles. Not only did they have hot and delicious meals, but the nobles also gave them cotton clothes and even comfortable clothes. Cloud-like shoes, but after staying in the camp for one night, these natives seemed to be taken care of by local tyrants, and they refused to leave again.

Although the translator tried hard to explain to them that they did not take in the aborigines as slaves, but let them be their people, but the aborigines seemed to be obsessed with becoming domestic slaves of the nobles, and they got up early in the morning and were busy working First, I went outside to pick a lot of edible fruits, and then helped to collect firewood. Seeing that they took out many half-dead prey from the trap, I almost ran to help deal with the prey with a sense of awe.

There were several kinds of fruits brought back by the natives. The one that satisfied Bai Chunsheng the most was a fruit that resembled a lemon both in appearance and taste, and a fruit that looked similar to a passion fruit but looked like a mangosteen inside after peeling it off. , the flesh is white and tender as jade, and it smells like lychee.

However, Wang Kunfeng was very vigilant. He specially asked people to take these fruits for the rabbits they raised, and after confirming that there was no problem, they let them eat by themselves.

Lemon is really a very versatile condiment. It can be used for barbecue, grilled fish, or sliced ​​to make lemon fish. It can also be made into tea. If there is honey, it can also be made into honey lemon tea. I heard from the indigenous people about those big cities The stewards come to them every year to exchange things, and what they want most is this kind of yellow fruit. Bai Chunsheng thinks that those people are very discerning. The soil and climate here are probably very suitable for the growth of lemons. The lemon juice they grow is rich and smooth. , even the wild fruit is not too small.

The natives also picked a dry moss-like plant for Bai Chunsheng, put those plants on the stones, baked them with fire, waited until they were completely dry, ground them into powder with a stone mortar, and sprinkled some on them when grilling. The taste is very delicious, it is simply the indigenous version of chicken essence!

As if he had found a treasure, Bai Chunsheng ordered people to collect a lot of this kind of moss, baked and crushed it and sealed it for preservation. It is really amazing that this kind of moss can not only enhance the freshness of food, but also taste it carefully. If it is used as a sauce, even the salt can be saved a little.

He has secretly decided that after the new workshop is built in the future, he will let people multiply these moss in large quantities to supply their sauce workshop.

The natives may not know how to plant these mosses, but he does know that bryophytes like dark and humid places the most. As long as they are provided with an environment with suitable temperature and humidity, these mosses will grow continuously. A worry-free cash crop!

The aborigines saw that Bai Chunsheng was very interested in these spices that can make food more delicious, so they went to pick many spices commonly used by the local aborigines and showed him one by one.

There is a plant that looks like fennel, with small white flowers. After the natives picked the flowers and leaves on it, they crushed them into mud, added some salt, and spread them evenly on the peeled and washed pheasants. After about half an hour, it was slowly baked on the fire, and the chicken exuded a tempting spicy aroma. When the surface of the chicken was roasted until it was golden brown, tearing the chicken apart gave it a special taste.

After the natives got acquainted with them, they also learned simple ways of expressing each other, and immediately explained that this kind of spice is also liked by the nobles in the big city. They would pick the spice after it matured, dry it and take it Exchange cloth with people in Dacheng, and ten bundles of such spices can be exchanged for one piece of cloth.

He gestured to the size of the cloth, Bai Chunsheng was speechless for a while, and finally told him that next time when people from other tribes picked this kind of spice, don't trade it with people from Dacheng, they will give them double the amount of cloth, In exchange for this spice.

While Bai Chunsheng was tirelessly digging for the ingredients used by the natives, Wang Kunfeng led people to recover several nearby human villages, large and small, and found some monsters and half-monsters living in the wild. Although these natives did not immediately agree to cooperate with them after making deals on food and cloth, the two sides have initially established trust through the exchange of items.

Regarding the surrender of these natives, Wang Kunfeng is not in a hurry at all. The most important thing for him now is to let these natives know of their existence, and then find a suitable place to build a garrison camp. In this way, once those human tribes are attacked by monsters again, as long as they come to ask for help, their people will have a way to make them completely inseparable from their protection, thus slowly connecting these villages into one, and finally, like As his family He Mu said, the countryside surrounded the city and completely engulfed the legendary city.

He has great ambitions, and his plans are far beyond the two peninsulas protruding from the coast. This is just where they landed on this continent. In the future, he will conquer more lands and let his mussels and mussels You guys, no matter where you go on this continent, you can live in the most comfortable yard and eat the most delicious fish and shrimp.

In the blink of an eye, they had been here for almost a month, and the people who went out to investigate finally found the mountain land they had bought. In fact, it was not far from them, only three mountains away. At that time, they didn't find it immediately because the place was mountainous and blocked by layers of mountains, so it was difficult to find the place.

After finding the station they chose, Wang Kunfeng and Bai Chunsheng didn't stay any longer. An army of 200 people was stationed here to build a camp dock, and the rest continued to board the ship and head all the way to the new station and go.

The new station looks more than a little better than the place where they landed for the first time. A large bay faces south, and behind it is a large area of ​​slopes and continuous mountains. Bai Chunsheng immediately fell in love with this beach.

This time they made full preparations and sent more than 200 people over in advance. They used food and cloth directly, and hired local aborigines to help cut down trees and build camps. It's different. When they heard that they were the sons of the emperor, regardless of whether they were in charge of the emperor in their area, they helped build the camp in panic, for fear that the nobles from the big city would kill them if they were unhappy. their heads.

The soldiers all came ashore with shining sabers, bows and arrows, and they looked very difficult to mess with.

However, the vanguard troops have received orders from the prince, and they will not bully these local aborigines. If they help them with work, they will also give some food and cloth, not much, but they will never be allowed to help in vain.Because the local aborigines do not accept gold and silver coins, they took some barbecue sauce produced by the Baijia workshop and exchanged some of the food they grew for themselves. It is a kind of grain like wheat flour. The local aborigines use a plant The seeds are dried and crushed, and they are ground with a stone mill. They are pale yellow in color, and the cooked batter has a faint sweetness. It is a food that the local indigenous people like very much. The leading soldiers know that the princess likes to collect it most. For this kind of food that I have never seen before, I specially found the natives to exchange some unground seeds, and handed it to Bai Chunsheng together with the ground noodles.

Bai Chunsheng used this kind of noodles that he had never seen before, added shellfish and soft fish to make batter, and added chopped coconut meat. The whole family liked it very much, especially when eating barbecue. Barbecue, and a bowl of batter like this, it is very refreshing and relieves greasiness.

However, what makes them feel regretful is that, compared with the natives on the peninsula, the natives in this area have "experienced the world", and they did not immediately agree to their overtures and solicitations. What they don't have, especially those barbecue sauces and various cloths, food is not very popular, after all, these aborigines themselves grow plants similar to wheat.

Wang Kunfeng is not in a hurry, anyway, they are going to build their first city in this continent not far from here. When the city becomes prosperous, these natives will inevitably go to the city to buy and sell goods. It will be integrated with the city, just like the fish street in the past, because one street tightly binds fishermen who do not know each other on both sides of the strait together.

However, they still underestimated the stubbornness of these aborigines towards "tradition".

Because several water monsters in the family need to take baths frequently, Mr. Cat thought it would be troublesome to go to the beach every day, so he ordered someone to cut down some thick bamboos, chisel through the bamboo pipes, and wanted to lead the spring water from the mountain down the mountain. As soon as the aborigines saw that they were trying to get water from the "holy lake" on the top of the mountain with strange things, their faces immediately changed, and they gathered the aborigines of the whole tribe and asked them to kill the person who diverted the water to plead guilty to the gods.

Bai Chunsheng was speechless for a while, and then looked at these natives with pity, maybe they still don't know about the irritable temper of their cat master?

However, he was wrong, the first one to jump out to fight was not his cat master, but Uncle Helian.

The reason is very simple. The work of fetching water from the top of the mountain was supervised by Uncle Yulin. This group of natives clamored for them to kill the person who fetched the water to sacrifice to heaven, that is to kill his fiancé!Uncle Leopard became manic at that time, he didn't even bother to take off his clothes, he turned into a leopard on the spot, and went over to the aborigines who yelled the loudest.

The natives were stunned.

Then, none of the few who were clamoring to burn the fish-scale emperor to sacrifice to heaven escaped, and all of them were pawed one by one by the violent Uncle Helian, and they were sent to meet their revered god first.

It can be seen from this that offering sacrifices to the heavens is of no use at all. These natives revered their gods so much that when Uncle Helian scratched them to death, no gods came to save them.

The scene was filled with a strong smell of blood.

After scratching those people to death, Uncle Helian arrogantly jumped up a huge boulder, found a piece of moss on the stone, wiped the blood left on his paws with distaste, and looked down provocatively at the people holding various hands. indigenous weapons.

Indigenous people: "..."

After waiting on it for a long time, but no one came forward to challenge him, Uncle Helian rubbed his paws boredly, and jumped down.

Seeing this monster that killed several people in the blink of an eye jumping down from the boulder, the natives trembled, almost peeing in fright, some timid ones simply knelt down, put their heads on the ground, and kept begging for mercy At this moment, they probably also understood that the gods they believed in probably had no time to save them, and for now, they had no choice but to succumb to this terrifying monster.

"From today onwards, you are all slaves of the palace. If you dare to run away, these people are your role models!" Uncle Helian snorted coldly, his sharp claws only slightly stroked in the air, and the few people standing in front I felt a chill in my chest. I looked down and saw that the fur jacket on my chest had a neat opening at some point, and the skin inside had been cut open, dripping with blood.

The legs of the few natives who had been holding on but did not kneel down softened, and they were completely discouraged.

Before the peaceful evolution plan envisioned by Master Cat could be implemented, he was crushed by Uncle Helian with absolute strength. He proved to the natives with all his strength that there is no future for believing in the gods he fabricated. Only by following the prince can they save their lives.

The natives are very realistic, no matter if it is a god or a prince, whoever can protect them is their master.

The construction of the new city, because there are so many free laborers suddenly, the speed is suddenly accelerated.

The craftsmen brought the indigenous cement from Bai Chunsheng's cottage, found a suitable substitute from the local area, and asked the aborigines to carry a lot of stones back from the mountain, and soon built a city wall surrounding the valley.

The station they chose was a bow-shaped valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the side facing the sea was surrounded by a ten-meter-high city wall, and the inside was as difficult to conquer as an iron barrel.

The aborigines were still somewhat resistant to being asked to carry stones, until they watched such a tall and strong city wall rise from the ground, they couldn't help but feel scared.

There are also people in the tribe who have been to the nearest big city, even if it is a prosperous big city, there is no such tall and strong city wall, not to mention that those people don't know what method they use, they just need a little mud-like thing to smear on the stone Between the blocks, the stones quickly stuck together, and they couldn't be broken apart, it was a miracle!

Later, after witnessing the group of soldiers claiming to belong to the "sons of the emperor" with extremely sharp bows and arrows, shooting to death the monsters that raided them, these natives completely surrendered, and no longer dared to have any second thoughts. .

Thanks to Uncle Helian's ability to frighten the aborigines who can farm the land, with the addition of these labor forces, Bai Chunsheng's workshop reconstruction plan can be successfully launched.

He first called the chiefs of these aborigines over, took out the seeds of wheat, pepper, garlic and other crops they brought, and told them how to plant them, and asked them to reclaim the land by themselves to plant, and the harvested things could be brought back when the time came Exchange some daily necessities with him, and you can also exchange precious metals such as gold and silver.

Those natives were really frightened by these powerful monsters, not to mention giving them gold and silver, even if they let them work for nothing, at this moment they did not dare to resist in the slightest, and asked clearly how many such crops the "Princess" needed After that, the indigenous leaders took their orders and went away.

This made Bai Chunsheng a little embarrassed, feeling that he had bullied the poor natives by taking advantage of his power.

Uncle Helian didn't take it seriously, he had been living in a semi-wild jungle, and his life credo was that his territory must be defended with iron and blood, and anyone who dared to violate his territory would be scratched to death!To be honest, he has been trying not to scratch the remaining aborigines to death, mainly because Uncle Yuscale told him that those aborigines can help grow many delicious seasonings, without those seasonings, he would no longer be delicious The barbecue sauce... For the sake of the barbecue sauce, Uncle Helian felt that he needed to properly control his temper.

The vigorous construction of the city here will inevitably attract the attention of the big city.

However, for the small group of spies who were suspected of being sent by the big city to investigate and spy, Mr. Cat was not so patient. He was arrested directly. The ones were directly killed and buried in the forest for fertilizer.Anyway, the two sides will fight sooner or later, so there is no need to be polite.

Perhaps it was because several groups of spies were sent in a row but did not return, and finally aroused the other party's vigilance. One morning, a small army of about several hundred people quietly approached the forest near Xincheng.

However, it is a pity that this is just what they think is "sneaking close".

In fact, hidden piles and hidden checkpoints were set up in the ten-mile radius of the new city. The reason why these people were brought in was mainly because the manpower they brought was too small, and the construction of the new city had entered the most labor-intensive inner city. During the construction of houses and streets, there is an urgent need for the injection of a large number of free labor... When Master Mao heard that the big city had sent hundreds of people over to test it out, he couldn't sit still. Got hundreds of free strong labor?

This is the reason why this wave of people has entered the land of no one all the way.

In vain, these people are still complacent, thinking that they will soon touch the enemy's lair, but they don't expect that this trip will be a trap for themselves, and they will send themselves into the enemy's trap...

With such sweetness, Master Cat is almost ashamed to bully them.
