These three foodies are just like counting points. They have looked at each bamboo shoot, and they don't know how many times they have seen it.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.
Enough digging of bamboo shoots, it's time to go back.
Zhao Hao jumped directly onto the first sled, sat on the bamboo shoots, and yelled at Menglan: "Let's go back."
These three foodies look stupid and cute on the outside, but they are actually smart. They can understand such simple words.
Menglan nodded vigorously, and said "hmm" a few times, then quickly picked up the cowhide rein beside her, hung it on her shoulders, and then pulled the sled back happily, before leaving, It also didn't forget to turn its head to Mengbao and Xiong Da and say "hmmmm", as if calling the two groups to follow quickly.
Seeing this, Mengbao and Xiong Da quickly waved their paws at Ji Rushuang and the others, yelling "Mmmmmmmm".
That appearance, as if beckoning them to get in the car.
Seeing this, the four women couldn't help laughing together.
These three guys are really about to become fine.
In the past two years, they don't know how many hell flowers they have eaten. The strength is really scary. It's not easy for them to pull something tens of thousands of catties. If Zhao Hao told them to slow down, they probably would Pull and run.
The bamboo forest is not far from Taodu, just climb over two hills and cross a valley.
When it comes to crossing mountains and ridges, iron-eating beasts are really stronger than unicorns, because unicorns have hard hooves that are easy to slip on hillsides covered with gravel. Iron-eating beasts are different, their claws are With a hook, and there is a cushion cushion, climbing up the mountain, it is not too hard.
Not long after, Zhao Hao and his party returned to Taodu with five people and three beasts.
At this moment, the pottery capital is already densely covered with brick kilns, and the chimneys are like forests. The pottery households who came from various territories opened brick kilns in places with rich clay outside the city. After a day, more than tens of thousands of pottery bricks were produced. The pier in the capital is almost full of pottery bricks, and there are square bricks piled up to several meters high.
These are all intended to be used to build the fortress, but Zhao Hao is not in a hurry to get people to start the work, because A Shu and A Xing, who are farthest from Nether Valley, have not arrived yet.
If he doesn't start work, the people around Taodu will naturally gather more and more. At this moment, six of the eight lords on the Haotian Prairie have come, and more than 3000 personal guards under him have all arrived. In addition to the Tao households in Taoduli, tens of thousands of people have gathered here.
Tens of thousands of people crowded together, it was a sea of people, and there were so many camps in the jungle that you couldn't see the edge at a glance.
The three dumplings had just arrived at Taodu with a sled, and the onlookers on both sides of the road were already packed into three floors and three floors outside, densely packed.
There is no way, these people are resting, the day is really boring, Zhao Hao has not stipulated that they are not allowed to watch the fun, and these three dumplings are really cute. People don't want them, how could they not come to watch.
If Zhao Hao hadn't been an elder, the boss of the entire Haotian Territory, tens of thousands of people would have gathered to make dumplings.
The three regiments had pulled the sled here, and they had to take a rest.
As for the reason, it's not that they are tired and can't move anymore. The main bridge connecting the opposite bank is made of wood, and it must be unbearable to bear the weight of tens of thousands of catties. They were unloaded, loaded in a carriage, and pulled across the bridge one by one.
At this time, Xin Zhao had already led hundreds of guards and more than fifty carriages waiting beside the bridge for a long time.
As soon as Zhao Hao and others arrived, all the guards rushed forward and quickly transferred the bamboo shoots to the carriage.
Fortunately, Menglan and Mengbao knew that these guards were only helping them transport bamboo shoots across the river, otherwise they would have shot all of these guards away.
It is not an ordinary danger to snatch their bamboo shoots in front of the dumplings.

Hundreds of personal guards worked together, and the bamboo shoots were quickly transferred to the carriage by them. Immediately afterwards, they lined up the carriage into a long queue and began to cross the river one by one, while the three tuanzi followed closely behind with an empty sled Behind them, it seems that they are afraid that others will steal their bamboo shoots away.
After crossing the bridge, there is a road leading to Nether Valley. At this time, there is no need to dump the bamboo shoots from the carriage back to the sled. It is faster to use the carriage to pull the bamboo shoots back to Nether Valley. After all, it is troublesome to toss back and forth. .
After returning to Nether Valley, Zhao Hao rushed into the inner valley immediately, picked three ghost flowers, then ran back quickly, and stuffed the three dumplings into their mouths.
This is the last step of training, which is the reward.
He just wanted to let the three dumplings understand that only after hard work can there be such good food as Hell Minghua, otherwise, there is no such thing!
The three dumplings ate Minghua like a gulp, and after being slightly intoxicated for a while, they began to stare at the guard to unload the goods.
These bamboo shoots are what they worked so hard to pull back, not a single one is missing!
They are like supervisors, staring closely at the guards, watching them move the bamboo shoots one by one into the big shed where they live, and when the guards finish moving the bamboo shoots, they will come to the pile of bamboo shoots, Sniffing one by one, as if afraid of the wrong number.
Looking at their miser-like faces, Zhao Hao couldn't help crying and laughing.
Now, there is no problem for them to pull the sled, but I don't know if it will be a problem to let them follow him into the mountain to pull bacon.
Chapter 277
After more than a month, the eight lords on Haotian Prairie finally got together.
On this day, in the inner valley hall of Nether Valley, Zhao Hao once again called together his eight generals and Ji Rushuang to discuss it.
This time he had assembled tens of thousands of horses. In this ancient era, it was considered a rare feat to gather so many elites.
He couldn't help but said in high spirits: "Everyone, this time, our goal is to build eight forts along the east bank of the Haotian River. This batch of forts is just the beginning. Later, we will continue to build four batches eastward, at least 32 Fortress, fully explore the Nanman Mountains."
Forty fortresses, what a huge project!
Everyone here also knows how troublesome it is to build a fort in the Nanman mountains, but there is no trace of fear on their faces. On the contrary, they are eager to try and excited.
Because the purpose of exploring the Nanman mountains is to hunt for exotic beasts and get close to the existence of divine beasts, and these are good things to improve one's strength.
Zhao Hao has always taken good care of them. For such a large-scale exploration operation, as long as anyone participates, there will be innumerable benefits. Everyone is naturally very excited.
Sure enough, Zhao Hao said again loudly: "Everyone should also know that there are quite a lot of alien beasts and beasts close to the gods in the Nanman mountains. This is a resource for us to improve our strength, and it is also a very dangerous challenge. Being close to the existence of divine beasts will hurt people. Therefore, we must increase our strength as much as possible to avoid accidents. After the first batch of fortresses are completed, I hope everyone's strength can increase to more than [-] catties. Next, After the second batch and the third batch of fortresses are completed, I hope to train all the captains under your command to become masters with strength exceeding [-] jin. In this way, you will be able to take charge of your own affairs and ensure the safety of your subordinates in the mountains of the Southern Barbarians .”
Strength exceeding [-] catties, who would not want to.
Of course, this is not a big deal. Later, the key point is to train their captains into masters with strength exceeding ten thousand catties. You must know that a master with strength over ten thousand catties has to consume an existence close to a divine beast. , That is the existence of sixteen close to divine beasts!
I have to say that Zhao Hao's plan really makes people excited.
Of course, it takes a lot of hard work to get these benefits.
First of all, they had to build roads and forts in the mountains of the Nanban.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hao took out the drawn sketch, hung it on the wooden board behind him, and explained: "Next, we will build a road going south, and then build the first fortress in the south of Nether Valley. This road, the length About two hundred miles, from Nether Valley to the south, for the first forty miles, Ji Wei and his wife will be in charge, and I will allocate 160 personal guards to you. For the remaining [-] miles, each of you will be responsible for about twenty miles. The order is according to the distance from Nether Valley, Beishan is in charge of the first section, Ah Huo is in charge of the second section, and so on."
This is the first time everyone has heard of this method of road construction. One person is in charge of a section, and each section is only about twenty miles away. Naturally, the speed of construction is very fast, but how do you get there?
Zhao Hao breathed a little, and then explained: "I have already prepared [-] large ships, each of you will drive [-] ships, bring your elite, bring all the supplies, and go to the designated place to start work."
It turned out to be by water.
Everyone's faces showed sudden expressions. It would be understandable if they took the water route. If they took the land route to cross the mountains and ridges, it would take a lot of time. It would be better for everyone to get together and go directly to the south.
For this comprehensive exploration operation, Zhao Hao made sufficient preparations. He ordered people to build more than a hundred ships alone!
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hao pointed to the site where the first fort was built on the map and explained: "For the convenience of everyone to station troops and stockpile supplies, we will build the first batch of forts in a radius of about three miles. This is the south of Nether Valley. The first fortress will be temporarily named Asura Fort, and Ah Huo will be in charge of guarding it. Don’t worry, everyone, we will also arrange the fortresses according to the distance from the Nether Valley. Everyone will have fortresses.”
