It is not easy to manage a settlement of more than 20,000 people. Mayor Geng Yong and Chief Cui Jun all came to tell each other that there was a shortage of manpower.

In the city, the post post seems to be a humble position, but it is not a person who has learned to hyphenate and is quite good at arithmetic, so he can't do anything.

Among the clansmen and the vassals, there were very few literate people. Otherwise, the Liu family would not have selected only four people per generation to be sent to private school. It shows that the scholarship is very expensive.

Liu Bei went to find his teacher.

The teacher said, "What's so difficult?" Disciples of the right age in the academic world can serve as students. Fighting for small officials, the wealthy and nobles don't look down on it. But it is a good opportunity for a poor family to get ahead. So he found three other great Confucians, screened suitable disciples, and filled them into the court. to solve the worries of lack of people.

It is said that it is fighting food, but it is not true. The imperial court is rich, and the Jiahou Mansion is rewarded, and the rank can be compared to 100 stones. 50,000 yuan a year. It's already quite rich.

Similar to those who enter public office as a disciple, Liu Bei said: intern.

The city of Lou Sang-eup is bustling. The Geng family made pottery in Lao Yadu, and simply moved the family to Lousang. I bought a house near the port to live in.

This is also done to prevent enamel and other crafts from being stolen by people with good intentions.

In this way, ceramics have also become one of Lousang's specialties.

Qingxi can travel 100 stone merchant ships. It's no different from the old crow. Lou Sangyi is already rich, but also the north and south goods, the gathering place of merchants, the ceramic shop here, is naturally the best choice. Geng Yong's family is worthy of generations of business and has a lot of vision.

Cui Jun was busy with the post, and Cui's caravan was handed over to his brother Cui Jun, who had returned from Luoyang. The teahouse of Rijin Doujin was also handed over to his brother to take care of. Cui Jun, the character Yuanping. He was upright and walked by his father's side all the time. Now from his uncle Cui Yu is teaching in the academic world, so there are many people from the Cui clan who are stranded in Lousang.

There are many things to do in the fiefdom. Although Liu Bei doesn't need to worry about everything, he also has to listen to his subordinates report from time to time. It can only be implemented with his approval.

I had no choice but to stay at home and couldn't travel far.

The beautiful maids in the family perform their duties, abide by the rules, and have never made mistakes. The subordinates of the sect are all called Gongsun: young lady. confirmed the identity of his wife, which greatly improved Gongsun's condition and made Liu Bei feel a lot more at ease.

Although salted wood can prevent fire, it cannot prevent fire. If someone deliberately sets a fire, the wood will always burn. Liu Bei asked Su Bo. Su Bo ordered someone to bring a jar of gray paint. Liu Bei stirred, it seemed to be a mineral glue similar to hydrated lime, and it was like a clay mixed with water. When the chalk is doped with some natural flame retardant substances.

Sub said, This is white lacquer, which can ward off fire. Apply it to the beams and columns first, air dry it, and then apply wood paint to extinguish the fire. In addition, people have a strong sense of fire prevention, and there are also full-time fire extinguishers in the pavilion. Lou Sang built a heavy building and do not use thatch, but bricks, tiles and bluestone, every household set up a large tank to store water to prevent trouble, so it can avoid disasters.

The seven-story building in the atrium is home to a lot of people. The five-storey building in the front yard serves no purpose other than daily hospitality. Leave it to Suber to decorate slowly. The so-called 'carved lacquered copper' is the high-level aesthetic of this era. Looking at the railing, Lou Sang is in the bottom of his eyes. Thinking back to the thatched yellow dog a few years ago, it is a world of difference.

What if the bottom burns?

Liu Bei's heart moved: paragliding.

Mozi? Lu Wen mentioned that the male loser cut the bamboo and wood and thought that it was a magpie, and it would not fall for three days. He also built a large wooden kite that could carry people to detect the enemy's situation in war. "The Old Things of Zhu Palace" also recorded: "Taste it as a wooden kite, and multiply it to peek at Song City." ”

"Multiply it to peek at the Song City", just this sentence has shown that the big wooden kite can not only carry people, but also fly high and cross the city wall.

What the ancestors could do, it can do now.

Liu Bei found Su Bo and sketched the wooden kite mentioned in the miscellaneous book and asked him to make it in the same way. The wooden kite has two keys: shooting high and gliding.

Shoot the wooden kite from the ground into the air, then spread its wings and glide.

If you want to shoot Mu Luan, you must use a bed crossbow.

The bed crossbow first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was wound by a winch with a long range, but the accuracy was not good, and it was generally mostly a salvo.

In this dynasty, bed crossbows have been used on a large scale. "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Chen Qiu" records that Chen Qiu once "used the string and wood as the bow, and the feather spear as the arrow, and shot more than 1,000 steps from a distance, killing and wounding many people". This crossbow is difficult to open only with the power of hands and feet, so it is called a bed crossbow. Its large copper crossbow machine is 1 foot 7 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 1 foot 3 inches high. The crossbow arm is more than a foot long, and it may be enough for catapulting wooden kites.

Gliding naturally relies on wings.

The material is not complicated, and thin skin is sufficient. The key is the angle of the delta wing, and the center of gravity support under which the personnel are suspended.

None of this is a problem. It only takes a few trials to find out. Just in case, Suber erected a new platform next to the dock and launched the wooden kite towards the White Lake. I also find a person who is thin and quite watery to test ride, which can avoid injury.

Repeating crossbows, which do not shoot continuously. Instead, it can shoot five crossbow arrows at once. Therefore, the repeating crossbow is also called the concurrent repeater. It is improved from the double-arrow concurrent crossbow of the Warring States period. Depending on the number of crossbow arrows and issued, the names vary. There are three, four, and five arrows. The repeating crossbow equipped by the Lou Sang crossbowman, the full name: Five Arrows Concurrent Repeater.

The great Confucian Liu Chong was once a master craftsman, and he has a deep history of miscellaneous studies.

In addition to concurrent repeaters, there are also knife carts.

Knife car, also known as Semen knife car.

It is a weapon for defending the city. When the gates are broken, they can be used to plug the gates. Twelve or fourteen steel knives are installed on the front knife wall, and when used, the cart can be pushed to the gap in the city gate, which can not only kill and injure the enemy, but also block the enemy's arrows and stones. Because of the knife barrier, it is also difficult for the opponent to climb, forming a barrier to activity. There are arrow windows on the car, and you can also shoot from a high position.

A knife carriage is an extremely sturdy two-wheeled vehicle. The body of the car is the same width as the city gate, about three or four zhang. There are three to four layers of wooden frames in front of the car, and a number of sharp knives are fixed in each layer. Once the enemy broke through the city gate, hundreds of soldiers pushed the knife cart violently, piercing and crushing all the way, blocking the city gate. Defending the city is a vicious battle, and the city gate is difficult to lose, and this Saimen knife car is the most useful emergency weapon.

Liu Chong saw that there was no door in Sangyi, so he dedicated this picture.

Liu Bei was overjoyed at first sight. The joy is not the knife cart itself, but the overall structure of the two-wheeled cart.

It is used to block the gate of the city, which is really overkill. If a number of knife carts are made, they are connected to each other by iron cables, forming a 'knife cart barrier'. Wouldn't it be better to block the road?

Not bad. Then he shared his thoughts with Su Bo. Su Bo smiled: But also!

In recent years, Qingxu has suffered a severe drought year after year. Nearby states and counties have reported the disaster. After Lou Sang changed from dry land to paddy field, it was ripe every season. The people of the sect are all passed on, because Liu Bei inherited the mandate of heaven, so auspicious rain fell from the sky. Speaking of which, daring to plant rice in the north is very unthinkable and unthinkable!

Lou Sangyi, can be neighborly harmonious, the road is not left behind, and the night is not closed. The biggest reason comes from Liu Bei. For example, karma, religious metaphysics, belief is there, and non-belief is none.

The people of Yi believe that Liu Bei is auspicious from heaven. Just as the people of Qingxu and Xuzhou are more and more convinced of the Taiping Dao.

Why?

Liu Bei seems to have some answers.

Disasters are frequent, and although the prefectures and counties are doing their best to provide disaster relief, there are always people who are complicit and embarrassed. It is difficult to make a fortune. Annexation of land, buying wives and daughters. The land flowed to the powerful landlords, and the landless and displaced people did not have enough food, and they were often sick and sick. There is just a Taiping Road, Shi Fu water to cure the disease, and give rice and grain to save the emergency. The homeless people are rebuilt with kindness, and they should be convinced.

At this time, Liu Bei was powerless.

Lousang is a place, and it can't save Qingxu Erzhou. It can't save the people of the world.
