Chapter 440 The Great Era

The welcome ceremony lasted for several hours. Wang Lang used the most solemn ceremony to tell the people of Xia Kingdom that Xia Kingdom will not treat any meritorious officials badly. Today these honors belong to the expedition team, and tomorrow this honor may belong to everyone.

After the ceremony, Yancheng was still lively.

The officials of the expedition team followed Wang Lang and other important officials of the Great Xia court to the palace for a banquet.

But those ordinary sailors have become the targets of low-level officials and ordinary people.

Strange anecdotes abroad have an incomparable attraction for them.

Although the sailor used the poorest vocabulary, he stumblingly narrated what he saw and heard along the way.

But these ordinary people listened with gusto.

He Tie was not among these people. After the ceremony, he anxiously searched for his familiar figure among the crowd.

But people come and go, and there is no one I want to see.

He Tie sat in the shade with some disinterest, depressed.

"You...you are He Tie?"

Suddenly a woman's voice came.

He Tie raised his head abruptly, looking at the woman in front of him with extremely tanned and rough skin, two lines of tears flowed down his face.

Standing up and looking at the woman, He Tie was at a loss for what to do. There were thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say, but in the end he just said something softly

: "Lady!"

"It's really you... you're still alive!"

The woman immediately burst into tears.

"Mom, don't cry!"

As the two stared at each other, a child's voice came.

Only then did He Tie notice a timid little boy standing beside the woman's legs.

"My lady, is this a mountain?"

The woman nodded, pulled the little boy over, and said, "This is your father, call him Father."

The little boy looked at He Tie timidly, opened his mouth, but didn't call out.

The woman frowned and said, "The child doesn't remember you."

He Tie sighed, and said, "It's okay, let's get to know each other slowly in the future! How is your family?"

The woman nodded: "It's all right. Our horned dragon is already able to plow the land. I bought some money for the grain grown in the past two years. I plan to buy another one in the next season and apply for a piece of land from the government. It's a pity that that piece of land is left uncultivated, and if it is reclaimed, planting some potatoes should yield a good harvest."

After hearing this, He Tie smiled naively and said, "One end is enough. When we come back this time, when the imperial court pays the reward, we will be rich. We must buy at least two ends."

The woman nodded: "I listen to you, by the way, when will you be able to go home."

"It should take a few more days. I will retire after this period of time is over."

"Not going to sea anymore?"

"No more, that's enough."

A few days after the expedition returned, at the court meeting, Wang Lang named the mainland of Australia Zhongzhou and the island of New Zealand Penglai.

For Zhongzhou in Penglai, Wang Lang would not give up. After discussions with the courtiers, he decided to let the common people have the right to explore these two places.

In order to quickly turn it into a human territory, apart from official actions, the power of the people is the greatest.

As soon as this decree came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and those people in Xia who were unwilling to be mediocre seemed to have found a shortcut to ascend to heaven.

Calling friends, selling property, motivating a group of people, heading towards the New World.

Not long after the ocean expedition team returned, Zhou Yu's expedition team also brought the natives to Xiaguo.

This time, the court of the Xia Kingdom did not hold a grand ceremony, but Wang Lang was very interested in the news brought back by the expedition team.

Wang Lang didn't care much about the monsters that were turned pale by the expedition team. As long as they were not intelligent creatures, they were just a group of strange wild animals, which was nothing to worry about for him at all.

What concerned him the most was the discovery of savages living there and suspected gold and silver veins, which were the strategic materials Xia Guo urgently needed.

Where gold and silver are located, other metals are generally associated, most likely lead ore.

At present, Xia Guo does not have such a metal as lead, and the bullets of muskets can only be replaced by iron bullets.

In this way, the musket can't exert its maximum power at all, under the temptation of this kind of resources, and under the instigation of those militants in the military.

Wang Lang decided to send troops to conquer those monsters and save the human race from fire and water.

As for whether it is to save mankind, not many people care about it. The military thinks this is an opportunity for them to make contributions. After several years of peace, the army weapons of Daxia have been updated several times, but there is not much credit for it.

Watching the navy grow and grow day by day, how can the big bosses of the army sit still.

For this expedition, the army quarreled endlessly, and after some contests.

Wang Lang announced that Black Horn would be the commander-in-chief. He would lead 2000 musketeers, [-] archers, [-] field cannons, [-] dragoons, and a battalion of [-] soldiers. lawless beast.

An army of [-] people gathered in Yancheng and marched towards the west in mighty force.

With such a large-scale army going out, it can be said that several families are happy and some are sad. The people of Xia Kingdom are naturally proud of having such a powerful army in the country, and those aborigines who came back with Zhou Yu and others admire the strength of Xia Kingdom. , Looking at the departing army, they prostrated themselves on the ground and worshiped endlessly.

And the young man named Rabbit on the Stone also had a pale face. When he came to Xia Kingdom, he was shocked by the strength of this tribe. Now seeing the army going out that almost changed the color of the world, it is even more amazing. thought of revenge.

It is simply impossible for him to destroy the country of Xia by himself.

Although Xia Guo couldn't deal with it by himself, the officer who had ordered the massacre of his own people swore to his own totem that he would use that man's blood to pay homage to his dead relatives.

And his decision created a profession in the history of Xia Kingdom, the assassin!And he is the number one assassin in the history books of Xia Kingdom.

The Xia Kingdom expanded its borders everywhere, and Shenzhou, a once barren continent, has long since changed its old appearance. Large carnivorous beasts, under the frenzied massacre of humans, have moved away from the gathering places of humans one after another. Orion Only in the deep mountains and old forests can we see those beasts that make humans fear.

Three months after the army set off, with the deliberate support of the government, private expedition organizations gradually improved.

Expedition teams, large and small, are like locusts. After hiring a group of experienced sailors at a high price, they set off from the port and head towards the New World.

At the same time, in the Daxia Palace, the world's first electric light was officially lit.

The arrival of Wang Lang, a traveler, made the trajectory of civilization not develop according to the expected pattern. Whether this era belongs to the era of electricity, firearms, iron, or the primitive era has long been unclear.
