The city is the prototype of a country, and it is also the product of the civilization of the times, especially in ancient times, and its role is very important.

Outside, you can rely on the city walls to resist enemy attacks. can provide safe shelter for the people.

Birds can lay eggs and hatch offspring when they have a nest, and the same is true for people, and while continuing their lives, economic, cultural, technological and other things are easily created.

A city is a gathering place of wealth resources and population of a country, and its status is not trivial, so no matter which dynasty it is, as long as there is an official government, it will build a city.

There are two kinds of government to build a city, one is to build a city without spending money, labor, materials are all requisitioned, and if you can't levy it, you can build it yourself, anyway, it doesn't cost money, the cost of building a city is too great, and almost every city will be buried under a lot of rebels, tired to death, and people who escape and are captured and come back to fill the pit.

Later, when the society progressed and the court became rich, the people in power thought that it would be easy to make the throne unstable, so they began to spend money to build the city, which is the second type.

Not only manage the food and clothing of the servants, but even give subsidies to the people, which are all good policies to benefit the people, especially in the Great Song Dynasty, the early imperial court was not short of money at all, and a lot of copper coins were scattered, which won a good reputation from the people.

But later, the northern barbarians called, and the country's finances were tight, but the city also had to be built! The strategy of half of the imperial court and half of the local government was implemented.

In ancient times, people built a city, basically in the original inhabitant gathering place, and then surrounded by a circle of city walls to be completed.

The smaller one is called the fort, and so on for a few years of development the population is more, the expansion of a circle is called the village, and then a few years to call the county seat, then the state city, and then the last prosperous capital, can reach the county level, this city is not only to build a circle of city walls, but also to build some roads, bell towers, temples and other public buildings, officials live or work in the official buildings.

As for the houses where the common people live, you can only build them yourself if you go to the government and pay the land money, and when you have the title deed.

Of course, there are some built by the government, such as the mansion of the imperial court to the big officials or the house of the meritorious soldier, and some large shops and villages, all of which are built by the local government, but this kind of house is only allowed to live and cannot be bought and sold, in short, it costs a lot of money to build a city.

Hearing that he was going to be dragged out of the gate to cut off his head, the frightened dog immediately woke up from the chaos and shouted at the top of his voice: "Handsome, handsome, the kid means that the merchant wants you to build it, bah, it is the merchant who builds it himself, no, what, it is the merchant who wants to take over the errand of building the city!" ”

"Drag it back!"

"Yes!" The left and right armorers put the dog back again.

With a coo, the dog crawled on the ground, and he didn't dare to look up, so they looked at the carpet on the ground.

Wu Lan frowned and said: "Zhou Yang said that you are very clever and not small, why don't I look at you like this!" ”

The dog hurriedly sneered and said: "Back to the big handsome, since the kid saw you, he was deeply impressed by your majesty, and he didn't dare to have a little frivolity, and then remembered the great military exploits in your hands, even the invincible gold thief was afraid of you like a tiger, not to mention the ignorant little baby of the kid, who was stunned by your eyes for a while, and his head was at a loss. ”

Bang bang, behind the desk, Wu Lan kept patting on the desk with Huwei wood, laughing while patting.

This handsome tent is divided into two rooms, the big one is the place where the subordinate officials, the trough officials and other generals usually do things, and the small one is the place where Wu Lan works.

The movement in the inner room had already alarmed the people outside, and they looked at the room curiously, wondering why the handsome man was laughing so loudly.

"Good boy, no wonder that Su Fat Man can treat you as a cronie, this sycophant!"

Syllable!

"Kneel down honestly for me!"

The dog's slightly raised left leg knelt on the ground again for a moment, and when he looked at the corner of his eye, he saw his angry face and sighed, and the official's face always changed so quickly.

"Boy, Su Fat likes to listen to this, but a certain family is not good at this, I have to answer carefully if I ask you, and remind you again, keep your little cleverness and careful eyes well, so as not to eat and beat your ass!"

The dog immediately replied: "It's handsome, the kid knows everything, and he can't talk endlessly." ”

Wu Lan nodded, took a closer look at the dog, and saw that he was emaciated, his complexion was yellowish, and he was kneeling in a regular manner on the surface, but his legs were moving slightly, it was estimated that it was the pain of kneeling, and then he looked at his head, although he was rooted in the ground, but under the corners of his eyes was looking around, this kind of sign showed that this kid was a restless master, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to put him under the account, so he had to find an opportunity to test him.

With a cough, Wu Xuan continued to ask, "Have you ever read?" ”

The dog was stunned, and after waiting for a long time to get numb on his knees, he asked this?

I just wanted to look up at him, but suddenly remembered what he had just said, so I had to answer honestly: "The boy's father is a teacher in the village, so he knows some words." ”

"Didn't think about going to school to get famous?"

The dog was stunned again, the dignified handsome man actually cared about his little? Well, the official also loves gossip, so he said respectfully: "I want to participate in the imperial examination, but there was a sudden change in my family, and I had no money to spend, so I had to give up!" ”

"Since the gold thief Koubian, I don't know how many simple people have died in their hands, which is also the reason why we have raised troops to resist Jin, strengthen my homeland and protect my people! It is the heart of our Western Army. ”

Gou'er said: "This is also the reason why our people support Dashuai, I believe that under your leadership, the gold thief will definitely be beaten away!" ”

"Hehehe, this naturally doesn't need to be said, the golden people will not be destroyed, and a certain family will not take off their armor."

"Okay boy, for your young sake, I won't chase you for the crime of disrespect, get up and talk back!"

The dog hugged his fist and thanked him.

"Boy, now that the war has not stopped, are those merchants so relieved to hand over the silver to the army? Aren't you afraid of being adrift? ”

The big official in front of him, it only took a day, no, half a day, to make his bottom line clear, what else can he not know, the reason why he still asked himself these words, to put it bluntly, one is to confirm each other, and the other is to see if you are honest or not, when I was a child, my father often used this trick against himself.

"Back to Dashuai, the merchants believe in you, and they will soon drive the gold thieves away, and this war will naturally stop."

"Heh, these businessmen trust a certain family" As he spoke, Wu Lan opened the account book in his hand, looked down and said: "Just 50,000 yuan want to take over the work of two cities, it's too underestimating a certain family!" Besides, why do they think that this errand of building a city can be handed over to them! 50,000 yuan, other businesses can also afford it! ”

The dog arched his hand and said: "Dashuai, this charcoal in the snow is always more sincere than the icing on the cake, and the Lizhou Business Alliance can risk his life to send a large number of materials to the people of various villages in Xihe Prefecture, and also indirectly help the government to settle the hearts of the people, as for the construction of the city, just give one casually, it is really not good to give them one or two jobs, send them away, such a simple thing, Dashuai does not need to bother, I ......"

There was a bang, and the dog trembled and knelt directly on the ground.

Looking at the big official with an angry face in front of him, the dog regretted that his intestines were blue, and he was snorting for no reason!

"Frivolous behavior, empty talk, unbearable, can only be any petty official, since you still have some opinions on money and goods, go to the rear army to manage grain and grass!"

The dog was stunned, why did he go to the rear army to manage grain and grass? If you are in the county, you will do it, after all, you can earn some money to support yourself, but here is in the army, how dangerous are the swords, guns and arrows, and it is a "petty official" who is in charge of grain and grass, so he will not go!

With a roll of his eyes, he said: "Back to the marshal, the kid has an errand, and I am a head catcher in our Youchuan County Yali!" ”

Wu Lan looked at the dog like a fool, is this kid a mix, a lowly official and a fat errand in charge of grain and grass in the army, can't he tell the difference? Later, I thought about it, maybe this kid didn't know the difference between the two, so he said:

"Your quick catch, it is the job of a subordinate, not as good as the grain and grass officer in our army, if it weren't for the fact that you are still clever, you can be grinded, where will you have the opportunity to serve as a trough officer in our army."

The dog pouted, this big official came to fool me again, when the master was stupid, he didn't feed you mules and horses, or go back to the county government to be a fast catcher.

Respectfully kowtowed and said: "The grace of the marshal, the kid is unforgettable, but the kid is really young, that one or that still goes back to the county to hone for a few more years, and waits for the marshal to serve before learning a 'Wen Tao Wu Strategy' before coming to the army." ”

Slap, Wu Lan slapped his palm on the table and looked at the dog angrily.

Grandma's legs, grandpa finally got a pity, this kid doesn't know how to lift, and he is 'Wen Taowu Strategy'? Still serving before coming to the army? After learning two sentences on the stage, he dared to grin at himself.

After snorting, he sneered at him: "No, I'll go back and draw paperwork for your county, and you can honestly take care of the grain and grass in our army!" ”

The word "hook" is not known to the dog, but when it is connected with other words, it is natural to understand, this official is so unreasonable, he actually forcibly conscripted himself into the army, and fed the mules and horses for him, it is really too bullying for children.

"Dashuai, this business was forced by those businessmen, it really doesn't matter what the kid does! Please, let me go back and be a catcher, I'm not an official of the imperial court, what kind of official should I be! ”

Wu Lan was so angry, if it weren't for his young age, he would have smoked him a long time ago, and he said angrily at the moment: "Not an official? Okay, I'll let you do it right away! ”

After saying that, he bent down and took out a blank notice from a wooden box with the official stamp of the ministry, this kind of confession of appointing low-grade civil and military officials, every year the ministry will send more than a dozen to the military and political officials in remote areas or the generals who go out on the expedition.

The first is to ensure that important military and political affairs are not delayed, so that officials can be appointed quickly anytime and anywhere, and the second is used as a means of encouragement to let the subordinate generals do their errands seriously and send them out, and in the later stage, they only need to write a report document and send it to the Ministry for the record.

The dog looked at the small silk paper woven from silk brocade in his hand, in addition to a large section of words that had been printed, there were also a few lines of words just written by the senior official in front of him:

Zhao Gou'er, a native of Youchuan County, Longzhou, on the first day of March in the fifteenth year of Shaoxing, was a lieutenant of Jinyong, and promoted the grain and grass of the rear army.

Just a few words, with a big red official seal, the dog was stunned.

Is this an official? It's good to be an officer, but to be a soldier in the army? It's still a unit that fights with Jin soldiers in three days, and I'm only twelve years old, and I want to live a few more years.

"Marshal, it's okay to let the kid be a soldier, but the kid has a request."

Wu Lan was already impatient, and pointed at the dog and shouted, "Say! ”

The dog knocked his head and said: "Ask the commander, let the two battalions from Longzhou be under my control, it's really not okay to give one battalion." ”

Wu Lan said: "Come on, give me two boards and throw them out of the camp!" ”
