Chapter 912 The city was built
The steward of the caravan now lowered his body and shed tears: "It's just that I was blinded by interests for a while, and I regret not being at the beginning!" Regret not being at the beginning!
If you want to say that it is not suitable for building a city here, a flat place, there is water when you dig two zhang, if it is not flat ground, dig a few times and it is a stone!
And none of these stones can be used, so it's hard to get shape! If you use cement, the demand is too great! Originally, I wanted to use the way of building a castle to promote the castle~
The cost is too great! And ~ they can't stop them from stealing tools here! Even if Plon Mist chops a few, they still take it!
It's not that they are thieves who are hard to change, but that they take something, put it aside, and forget it when they turn around! And then he insisted that his tools were in the warehouse!
I swore to find several reasons......"
Cheng Hong rubbed his forehead, and asked with a strange look in his eyes: "You don't want to build a city like Datang or Advance City, do you?" ”
"That's right! Aren't all cities like that? ”
Cheng Hong waved his hand weakly: "Go out, I know what is going on here!" When the city is built, let you die clearly! ”
"No!"
At this time, Changsun Chong frowned: "Cheng Hong, can we build this city well?" ”
Cheng Hong nodded: "The biggest feature of building a city is to use local materials!" Moreover~ let's build a city, you have to know his characteristics!
We didn't build a city to guard against human attacks, but to guard against wild beasts and snowstorms!
In this way, we can build a city without considering the defensive nature of the city against people!
Besides~ let's build a city, not to mention burying explosives under their city, but at least we can't make the city too easy to defend and difficult to attack!
After all, this thing may be the target of our Datang's attack! Even if there is a 1 in 10,000 possibility, we have to consider it!
You always thought that you had to use those stones and cement to build a city......
Actually, you seem to have some misunderstanding about the city! Let's rest, tomorrow I'll see what's going on, and then I'll figure out how to build the city! ”
……
After a night without a word, Cheng Hong got up, and after breakfast, rode straight to the place where the city was built!
The caravan steward was at the front, followed by the rest of the men, and Plon on on a deer! Horse? He won't!
Cheng Hong asked the caravan steward some questions as he hurried......
When I got to the place, Cheng Hong Lema stopped~ Sure enough, it seems that this place is really good! Flat, endless! Place is big enough!
As far as Cheng Hong could see, there were several dug pits, and there were some stones piled up next to them, and there was some water in the pits......
Cheng Hong looked at the mountains and forests in the distance and nodded: "This place is a good choice!" Huh? What's your steward's name? I'm going to name this city after him! ”
"Forget it!"
"What? Although he had to die because of something, at least he contributed to the indigo. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know when the city would be repaired! ”
Although he is a sinner for Datang, he is a real benefactor for the Yan Dynasty! Cheng Hong hopes that the entire Shen Ya can remember him and at least leave him a memory......
The eldest grandson shook his head: "The steward of the caravan is called Hu Lai!" ”
"Huh?!" Cheng Hong was stunned for a moment: "This name~ really has a personality!" According to his character, this name is really not wrong~ There is enough nonsense!
This city is called Hu No Return! Bring the saws and distribute them to the elders, and the axes to them!
In addition~ tie the axe and saw with a leather rope to a big red tassel, so that they don't find it! Tell them that as long as they are built here, they will have the right to live in it for free for two years!
If you lose your tools, you won't be allowed to come and build a city! Be sure to take care of your tools! Two people have a saw, one person has an axe! It's all for their own safekeeping! ”
"No!"
"So, what are they going to do first?"
Cheng Hong glanced at the mountains and mountains in the distance: "Let them cut down the trees first!" All the trees were cut down, the branches were removed, and they were transported here!
Peel and set aside! Wait for our craftsmen to come over and build the city! ”
"Build a city out of wood?"
Everyone suddenly brightened! Yes~ There are no bricks here, no decent stones, but there is a lot of wood! Wood all over the mountains! How big a city do you want to build?
……
The craftsmen are here, and this time the city was built with carpenters as the main force! The coarse lumber of all kinds is stripped of its skin, made into shapes, joined together with a mortise and tenon structure, and erected on a well-laid foundation!
The slightly inclined angles are arranged in two rows to form a trapezoidal shape with a wide lower width, with a fixed distance in the middle, and then filled with earth and stone......
Sections of the city wall quickly took shape!
After filling, the top continues to extend up with wood~ The city wall is not high, only three zhang! Three sections of wood will reach the top, and the top is made of wood, and the wall stack will be!
It's so fast, it's so fast that it's a little incredible! They were very grateful, but the eldest grandson Chong was a little uneasy!
"Cheng Dalang, is it okay to do this? The entire wall is made of wood, which is a huge torch!
One accidentally burned the entire city wall! When the time comes, we won't work for nothing! ”
Cheng Hong rolled his eyes: "You, let's talk about it after reading it!" ”
"Am I not right?" The eldest grandson Chong is inexplicable!
Cheng Hong waved his hand: "Originally, I thought I would tell you in a few days, but I still told you when you looked so scared~."
In a few days, the cement should be transported over, this wood is not fireproof, the cement is fireproof, put a layer on the outside, and it will be fireproof!
Basically, as long as there is no siege, this city wall will not be afraid of fire! ”
"And what if there is a siege?" The eldest grandson Chong blurted out!
Cheng Hong glanced at him and didn't speak!
"What do you look at?"
Hehe! Besiege? Who can storm the city of the Eagle? There are only two possibilities, if it is not Xue Yantuo, it is not Datang!
If Xue Yantuo attacks the Yan Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will not be happy! A mouthful of hairy things, when the two of them are done, Datang can come over and clean up the mess!
As for the Tang siege ~ Of course, the easier it is to attack, the better!
So what Changsun Chong asked was pure nonsense! Cheng Hong didn't want to pay attention to him, and gave him a roll of his eyes!
Looking at the extension of the city wall little by little, Plung's heart was infinitely excited! This wall, this great city, is all of the Devil's Throat!
This is our Blackwater Department taking the lead! And with my relationship with Chang'anhou, the Black Water Department accounts for the majority of this!
As long as this winter, all the people in the Blackwater Department will live in the city this year......
The speed of building the city, not to mention the group of people who have never seen the world, even the Tang Dynasty itself is surprised by this speed!
I didn't expect ~ the city to be built like this! At this rate, how many years will it take, before the new wind comes this year, at least four cities can be built! Fit the entire Turquoise tribe, that's no problem at all!
