The country of Ji lies at the intersection of Yan and Zhao, known as the land of nine rivers.

There are nine large rivers in the territory, and the water network is everywhere. Du Kangze, digging carp, Yongnu Xu, and other large and small Pize, dotted all over the place. It is precisely because of the abundant water that Liu Bei was able to build an embankment polder, so that the thistle country is ripe and full of food and clothing.

As the displaced people returned to their hometowns one after another, after rice cultivation, the cities of Jiguo took advantage of the late autumn and early winter, when the soil had not yet frozen, to build canals and embankments and divert water to the polders. For similar work, the most skilled workers are naturally in the cities of the three hundred miles of the countryside. After the pellets are returned to the warehouse, the old farmers can be managed on a daily basis in the field. Young and strong laborers, they drove ox carts to the five counties to prepare dry land for paddy fields. Earn a salary of 100 dollars a day.

Husband and wife can receive 6,000 yuan at full term. It's also a considerable amount of income.

The mechanism of the thistle country, from top to bottom, benefits the whole country. The farmer's ox cart is also very convenient for food, housing and transportation. On weekdays, they park side by side on the side of the road and walk along the embankment and canal. Saves a lot of unnecessary hassle and precious time. The nunnery built by the machine cart is also in the ox cart camp. Injuries can be treated nearby. As for security, it is responsible for the perfect pavilion post system of Jiguo.

The five counties are counted separately. The three hundred miles of Linxiang alone, a total of 2 million stones were paid in Xingu this season. In addition to the 12 million stone harvested from 2 million mu of official land, Linxiang will get 14 million stone of grain this season. It's the year of abundance again. Jiguo Taicang Order, eldest brother Liu Wen, please increase the construction of the city warehouse, Liu Bei has approved. Where the new port of Jiguo is built, it is necessary to build additional city warehouses. The port can build a warehouse, which can take advantage of the convenience of transportation.

A good year. Farmers are still reluctant to sell, and they are all hoarding in their own warehouses. It is the income of Tanaka Hehua carp, which is enough for expenses. In addition, the hospital has a medicine garden, leasing shops, weaving blankets, building roads and canals, and so on. Life is naturally rich.

The people of the Ji country migrated more. Thousands of miles, hungry, tribulations on the road, memories are still fresh. Nature's food is spared.

When Wang Shang was young, he supervised the construction of the house, and there were in the courtyard of Lou Sang: the front building, the back building, the warehouse building, the watchtower, the water tower, the double building, and the four corner buildings. Count the tenth floor. The rest of the cities, due to the addition of the city wall, the four corner towers that take into account the defensive function and the overlay that rides on the head of the wall are all omitted, and only the front building, the back building, the warehouse building, the watchtower, the water tower, the double tower, and the sixth floor can be built.

Rao is like this, and there are 60,000 high-rise buildings in the city for 10,000 households. It can be imagined that as far as the eye can see, there are so many rows of high-rise buildings. In the meantime, what a myriad of weather. It coincides with the festival, and the lanterns are hung high, and the light is like day. The prosperous scene can be called heaven and earth.

In later generations, there was an exclusive term: "the history of the founding of the city", which refers to such a prosperous city. People live in the city, from the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the construction of the city has become a major event of the country that the monarchs of the past dynasties are tired of.

Liu Bei, the king of thistles, is one of the best.

Received a report from the pirates who were attacking in large numbers. Liu Bei interrupted the plan to build the city. Take the Youlin, together with the Jiguo Navy paddle steamer, sail to the Bohai Sea.

Yongnu Xu, Yongnu City.

The embankment surrounding the city has been repaired by the ship. Mizusawa near the castle wall dug deep into the earth and turned it into a natural moat. It is connected to the water network in the city.

Seeing thousands of red horse boats entering Zexu, they rushed towards Yongnu City. Standing at the head of the newly renovated city, Zhong Xuan raised his eyes and looked around, and then he suddenly woke up: "First, the king distributed 100 stone of grain to every household. I thought it was a move to win people's hearts. Today, it is known that the king had already expected that the pirates would besiege the city on a large scale, so he prepared enough food and straw to defend the city. Pirates come from afar, how much grain and grass can they bring with their ships? Before the full term, they will run out of food. ”

The embroidered official beside him said: "The king ordered the Ming court to stand by and wait for help. Presumably, they also know that the pirates are coming from afar, and they just want to fight quickly. ”

"Yes, yes." Looking down at the thieves who were shouting constantly on thousands of red horses, Zhong Miao was calm.

"There were only a hundred soldiers in the city. How to defend is also up to the Ming court to decide. Shi Chang said.

"It's easy to hear." Zhong Xuan replied with a smile: "There are thousands of crossbows in the arsenal, which were transported at the same time as the grain last time. Recruit the able-bodied from the fishermen and guard them with crossbows. The pirates came by boat, and there were no siege weapons, so how could they capture them in a hurry. ”

"Whoa." He went down to the city to make arrangements.

Stretched out his hand and touched the trick sent by his friend Xun Yu in his sleeve. Zhong Xuan sighed: "Gongda is full of tricks, I might as well too." ”

The thieves on the red horse boat did not expect that a circle of embankments would be built outside the city.

Yongnu is all white in the house, and there is no other inch of land, how is this done.

The embankment around the city wall not only isolates the water, but also blocks the way of the red horse boat. And the water area sandwiched between the embankment and the high foundation of the city wall has become a natural moat.

The thieves were blocked by the embankment and had to abandon the boat and go ashore. However, after climbing the causeway, it was found that there was a wide moat between the causeway and the city wall. Just when the pirates who abandoned the boat and landed on the shore were at a loss and looked at each other, a rain of arrows hit the head and died tragically. The city was full of arrows, and the thieves jumped off Bai Ze one after another and swam back to the red horse boat.

The pirates took over, looking at this miraculously built embankment from afar, and their eyes were full of hatred.

In the midst of the stalemate, a boat approached. There is a person on the boat, with a long black face, a bare chest and an exposed abdomen, a black head cover, and a skin like a depiction.

It was the pirate Xue Zhou.

"Guan Qu Shuai, it seems that Ji Guo has been prepared. The long causeway is isolated from the inside and outside, and we have no siege weapons, and the water in the serval is shallow, and the big ships cannot pass. Why don't you retreat to the sea, go against the water, and plunder the coastal cities? ”

Although this time is called revenge, it is actually a covetous thistle country. In the name of revenge, it is plundering. Seeing that Yongnu City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was no passage of big ships in Xuzhong, the governor could not do anything, so Xue Zhou retreated.

The pirates were in charge, and all the men and horses under their command died in the city of Yongnu, alone, and dared not speak out.

Suddenly, I remembered that in the reeds of the shipwreck, Wu Zhu, who rushed to meet, once said that there was still an internal response in the city. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Xue Qushuai is reasonable. However, he thought, with such a short time, how could the Ji Kingdom build a circle of embankments out of thin air on Bai Ze, where there is no cone? There must be fraud in this embankment. ”

Xue Zhou also nodded: "According to Guan Qushuai's opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Let's stop today. In the middle of the night, my henchmen and I sneaked into the city, and asked for details with Nei Ying, and then we made calculations. Guan Cheng made up his mind.

"That's fine." Xue Zhou readily agreed: "Let's take care of Qu Shuai and give it a go!" ”

Looking at the red horse boat, they retreated one after another. Guan Cheng's eyes are like fire. is only separated from the old and young in the family, how can you not look at it.

There is no Xue Zhou's family in the city, so he naturally doesn't care. Guan Chengshi wants to capture this city, wait for the family to be rescued, and then slaughter the city and burn the city, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!

There is a deep hatred in the sea of blood, how to retreat easily.

In the middle of the night, a speedboat approached the causeway. Without waiting for it to stop, Guan Cheng and several henchmen flew off the boat, crawled over the causeway, and then dived into the water. Swim to the city gate. Throw your hook and climb up to the top of the city in turn.

"Who!" Before the words fell, the arrows were like locusts.

The henchmen were not in a hurry to draw their knives, and they were killed tragically by arrows. Guan Cheng took the opportunity to jump into the waterway in the city and avoided it in a thrilling way. The torches at the head of the city were held high, and the shouting continued. Sheltered by piles, the water-based pipe has swam to the bottom of a tall building. Follow the ramp of the fisherman's house into the water, and quietly land on the shore.

Quickly discerning the direction, he dived into the city.
