Chapter 21 The people of Taicang Country

Although Taicang City is called a city, but the city wall is low, the city is more than 20 miles longitudinal and horizontal, the people of Taicang live in the city at dusk, during the day, the people in the city go to the outside of the city to cultivate the land.

Strictly speaking, the people did not have their own cultivated land, all cultivated land was owned by the state, and all the grain produced was also distributed by the royal court, because in the vast wilderness, a weak and small country like Taicang did not have any qualifications for the people to be self-sufficient.

In Taicang City, the water source for feeding is a river called Hai Sniff, the source of this Hai Sniff River is the negative Chong River north of Taicang, and the sea sniff is a tributary of the Negative Chong River, which flows through the land of Taicang, so the Ant Chang Country and Pujian Country that once lived in this land have established a city on the bank of the Hai Sniff River, and Taicang after a few hundred years is no exception.

Taicang even incorporated a branch of the Haiwen River into the two cities of Taicang and Cang when the city was built, so that hundreds of thousands of Taicang people were able to drink water more conveniently.

It's a pity that there are often terrifying river beasts entrenched in the negative rushing river, so that their tributaries have no weak fish resources, which is a pity.

Ji Xia stood on the bank of the Haiwen River outside the city, and the big brown trees lined up neatly on the riverside, the scenery was very pleasant.

"It's also an excellent choice to build the barracks of the Cang Defenders here, not only because it is convenient for drinking water, but also because you can occasionally hunt large beasts that run out of the dense forest. “

Ji Xia watched the craftsmen come and go, and the soldiers kept carrying huge stones, and under the command of the craftsmen, the stones were chopped into stone slabs with giant axes, put into the big pit that had been dug, spread them on the bottom and edges, and fixed them with a very viscous glue. ”

"This glue main material is produced from the oak tree, the craftsman has gone through many years of experiments, added a lot of materials, plus a lot of technology, to refine this glue, this oak glue is very good, more valuable is that almost all materials can be glued with him, as long as it is glued firmly, after he solidifies, it can not be cut with an ordinary sword. ”

The name of the person who spoke was Lu Case, and he was the head of the Taicang Craftsman's Courtyard, and many buildings, city walls, and even royal palaces in the city were made by them.

Since there is almost no exchange between friends and production in Taicang, Taicang craftsmen have a characteristic, that is, they explore the wonderful use of ordinary things, they may not be able to use the most ordinary things to create luxurious and gorgeous buildings or utensils, but in terms of practicality, there will certainly be no shortcomings.

For example, the royal palace in Taicheng was built by Taicang craftsmen more than 200 years ago, and the whole body is made of stone, and the ups and downs of more than 200 years have not caused any damage to this palace.

The same is true of the current cistern, the structure is very simple, just dig a large pit in the low terrain, use stone slabs for waterproofing, and then dig three canals to make a simple dam mouth, the dam mouth is opened, and the water in the Haiwen River will fill the entire pool.

Ji Xia nodded, and said to Lu Case: "Don't miss half a minute, this reservoir is very important to Taicang, maybe this time my Taicang's lifeline is on this pool." “

Lu Xian bowed down to receive the order, but secretly slandered in his heart: "The lord of the country is really a layman, how can there be a mistake in such a simple matter?" I just don't know what the use of this reservoir is, it requires thousands of defenders to mine the mountain rocks, and hundreds of Taicang craftsmen to build it day and night. ”

Ji Xia watched the construction of Taicang craftsmen, and felt quite touched in his heart, no wonder Taicang country can survive in such a dangerous area for more than two hundred years, this country, this bloodline, from any point of view, is excellent to the extreme.

Taicang is conscientious and conscientious, just so that Taicang can exist safely.

The Taicang army ordered the forbidden, moved forward bravely, and was able to die in order to protect the family and defend the country.

The people of Taicang work hard and never complain about the country, but they only know that the country of Taicang guards and shelters them all the time.

Now the Taicang craftsmen here are also perfect, every little detail, they have to be foolproof, even the application of oak glue is meticulously glued into the subtle crevices, without the slightest overflow.

"Perhaps only a world as dangerous as the Infinite Wilderness can give birth to a race so united, eager to live, eager to be strong. Ji Xia muttered to himself.

Lu Shangyin on the side was worried: "This time Taicang will face the biggest catastrophe in history, the dove dog is still second, the Great Fu Country is the real terrible existence, these days I can't sleep at night, trying to sleep always dreaming that my Taicang hundred officials and soldiers were slaughtered by the strong people of Dafu, and my Taicang people were enslaved and devoured by Zhou Qing." “

Ji Qianqing has red hair and is wearing armor, she looks heroic, and her beautiful face adds a bit of unique charm to her.

She said slowly: "I have a hunch, I can break through the heavenly barrier and ascend to the supernatural power immediately, and then I will sneak into Zhou Qing and kill the lord of Zhou Qing, according to Zhou Qing's character of suspicion and pursuit of fame and fortune, the country will inevitably be in chaos, and when the time comes, maybe the wishes given to them by Dafu will be used by them to compete for the position of the lord of the country." “

Ji Xia frowned: "Assassinate the Lord of Zhou Qing? Lord Zhou Qing was originally a powerful man, you just ascended to the Divine Power, and you want to assassinate the Lord of Zhou Qing in the midst of thousands of troops? Do you want to become the next Qingfu Ren?"

Ji Qianqing pursed her lips and said nothing.

She didn't know that under the escort of thousands of troops, it was difficult to assassinate the powerful as it was to ascend to the sky, but the Great Fu Kingdom was like a dark cloud, blocking the bright sun of Taicang tightly, and the most terrible thing was that once the Great Fu sent a strong person, Taicang would have no life.

So she had already secretly made up her mind to make a desperate bet and throw a future for Taicang, even if she failed and died in the end, she would not hesitate to do so.

When Ji Xia saw Ji Qianqing's expression, he knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't think about it, there are still two months before the arrival of the Great Fu, and in these two months, all we can do is to increase the national strength as much as possible." ”

"Every point of Taicang's national strength is strong, our hope will be stronger. Ji Xia's eyes flashed with fierce light: "If our strength is enough, even if we can't solve the problems caused by Dafu, we can also solve Zhou Qing, the country that caused the problem!"

Ji Qianqing looked at the handsome and extraordinary young man in front of him, who inherited the appearance of the lord of the Shang country, and suddenly felt a little strange, is this still the Ji Xia who is squirming, incompetent, and has nothing to do, and is nicknamed the prince of waste by the people of Taicang?

I don't know when such a stubborn young man has grown into a lord of a country who can go to the enemy at risk, can sit on top of the royal court, and can easily say the words that solve Zhou Qingguo's words.

"Blessed by the gale?"

"Maybe it's the departure of the Lord of Shang that has made you wake up. ”

Ji Qianqing tightly held the hilt of the Qingjun sword on her waist, and she said silently: "Ordered to be in danger, and in such a dead situation, the burden on your shoulders is heavier than ours, right?"
