Chapter 41: No Money
"Madman, look, I want to make the following improvements to the city wall, what do you think?"
The picture drawn by the cultural person looks much better than the one he draws, and Liu Feng understands it at a glance. Guo Jia pulled Liu Feng and Talia and began to introduce his plan.
"First, make the city gate and the city wall as concave as possible, so that if someone wants to enter the city gate or attack the city, they will be attacked from three sides."
"Second, drain the big river in the east and let it go around the city, which is a common moat in the Central Plains, and if you want to enter the city, you must first cross the bridge."
"Third, the city gates should be strengthened, and the hardest steel should be used to make multiple gates to remove the last weak point."
Guo Jia finished speaking in one breath, Liu Feng secretly praised himself, in fact, in the Tang Dynasty, there are also walls of this structure, but they are not yet popular, Guo Jia came from the Three Kingdoms, it is really not easy to think of these. Since the Warring States period, cities with Central Plains conditions have had moats.
"Fengxiao, your idea is very good, so that this Shimira City will be solid. But I have another suggestion that I could add. ”
"Oh? Do I still have a loophole in this? ”
"No, I'm just making some additions." Liu Feng drew a few strokes on the map with his fingers, "This renovation of yours can be extended, and the current city wall can be changed into an inner city, and between the inner and outer city walls is an urn city." If a foreign enemy comes to attack, after a lot of hardships, we can enter the urn city, we only need to come to the urn to catch turtles. ”
In fact, Li Er, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, killed his brother and younger brother in Wengcheng, and Liu Feng also looked at the drawings and had an idea.
Guo Jiafu laughed, "Wonderful, wonderful." ”
Talia looked at the drawing and was amazed. These improvements, in his opinion, are unheard of, a simple city wall, there is so much learning.
"Crazy, Mr. Guo, you are too smart, how did you come up with these ideas, we have countless wise people in Rongri Country, why didn't you come up with them?" Talia was happy, but she felt a little regretful.
"There is a specialization in the art industry, and the wise men of Rongri Country are not here." Liu Feng replied. As for where the wise men are, Talia knows very well. It used to be in various monasteries, but now Buddhism is in decline, and there are countless wise men and sages in various churches.
Noble people devote all their minds to contemplating the root of the impermanence of life and finding the way to liberation. Instead, the life and death of the life in front of him are thrown out of the clouds.
"Mountains of soil are accumulated, and wind and rain are prosperous; The water becomes an abyss, and the dragon is born; Accumulate goodness into virtue, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the sacred heart is prepared. ”
"They are all great wise people, who have never entered the world, but they always think about Nirvana, how ridiculous." After Liu Feng finished speaking, he sighed softly.
After Guo Jia heard this, he fell into deep thought. I feel that Liu Feng is a little strange, crazy and persistent, unusual, profound, talking about the things in front of him, but he always feels as if he has a lot of knowledge hidden.
After Talia lowered her head and pondered, she couldn't help but ask, "Crazy, what you said is so profound, but it sounds very reasonable. We are highly respected as eminent monks and sages here, and you must not speak falsely outside. ”
Liu Feng shook his head, which are the dreams? Which are the shackles? What dreams can be turned into shackles? He couldn't think clearly, he just wanted to start with what was in front of him.
Liu Feng and Guo Jia entered the palace of Shimiluo, found Kulanyi, and handed over the drawings and ideas to Kulanyi. Recently, I have communicated a lot with Kulanyi, and the two have become very familiar with each other. After listening to the introduction of the two, Kulanyi said:
"Crazy man, your ideas are fantastic. Just ......"
"Kuranyi, what's the problem? Although. ”
"Crazy, Mr. Guo, you two are not outsiders, I'll just say it." Kulanyi pondered for a moment and said to the two, "As you know, it has cost a lot of money to recruit troops, set up weapons factories and shipyards in the near future. ”
"After the supply of soldiers is sufficient, a large amount of money and food is needed for food, clothing, and weapons. Shimira is a small country, and it can still afford the Hasimi family before Chamu, plus the capture of the battlefield, and the hard work of my father over the years. ”
"It's just that this rebuilding of the city wall and the diversion of the river seems to be a huge project, and the treasury is afraid that it will not be able to afford it."
"I know that this is a critical moment, and it is imperative to defend against foreign invasions, but I must not let the people go hungry. We have already started planting the Champa rice you sent before, but it will take some time before it matures, and besides, which ones were supposed to feed the people, we can't increase the taxes. ”
Ku Lanyi finished speaking in one breath, looking at Liu Feng and Guo Jia with apology and embarrassment. Within a few days of his ascension to the throne, it seemed that Kurani had fully understood the difficulties of the king of a country.
"Kulanyi, I was negligent, I said before that the country will be restored and the army will be strengthened, and it is indeed unrealistic for this strong army not to return to the country. Let's think of a way to slow down the reinforcement of the city wall for a while. However, the armory factory and the recruited soldiers still have to struggle to maintain. ”
"It's okay." Kuranyi replied.
Liu Feng scratched his head, he had been in a hurry some time ago, but he forgot that everything needed a lot of money to maintain. After all, money and food don't come from the sky, and it's really a bit difficult for Shimira to raise such a large army with such a large country.
Where does the money come from?
A penny is hard to beat a hero, and the poor are incurable.
