Chapter 435: Building a Town

"Brother, you should 'build a town'!" Peng Zhou looked at Zhenyi and said very seriously.

"Build a town? What is 'building a town'? Zhenyi asked, puzzled.

"To build a town is to build a market town, and to build a market town as if it were a city. Your current market town does not have a sense of security, and the pattern is very chaotic. You should build a market town and plan a market town. Just like your castle, have a plan! ”

"This?" Zhen Yi was embarrassed and said, "How much money does this cost?" How much manpower? How much time? ”

"Actually! It doesn't take much money! It doesn't take much manpower! As for the time? This is needed! ”

"You say? How to build a town? Hearing Peng Zhou say this, Zhenyi was interested.

He believes in Peng Zhou and won't talk nonsense. And also! He also believes in Peng Zhou's ability.

"I haven't been around the market town a few times, so I'm not familiar with it. But! I have a general idea of the topography of Hongyi. So! I think! It's easy to build a town. Peng Zhou looked at Zhenyi and nodded.

"Say!"

"Don't you have a natural river in Hongyi? Isn't it? You can use the river as the boundary and build a town, right? The current market town layout is like this, and it has not been changed. In the future development of market towns, they are not allowed to develop anywhere, but only to build houses and streets according to the pattern you have planned. ”

"This?"

"The river is not a screen? Isn't it? You can save the capital of building walls? Although your Hongyi is only a small town, you have to plan it as a city. Maybe? Will it develop into a city in the future? Isn't it? ”

"This?"

"You can use the river as a natural screen, as a boundary, and then build a town, and then build a barrier like a wall somewhere. Such! It is not easy for robbers to come and rob them. Do you want to? As long as you block the intersection, robbers and robbers can't enter and exit casually, where dare they come and rob? Isn't it? There are few of them, and you can easily eat them. When they are more crowded, it will be easy for you to find out! Isn't it? ”

"This?" Zhenyi thought about it and felt that it made sense.

But? He just thought: If it is according to Peng Zhou's idea, then! Hongyi is much bigger than ordinary cities!

According to the pattern designed by Peng Zhou, Hongyi is larger than the capital of Wei!

"This? Isn't our Hongyi too big? ”

"Great, wow? There are more people inside, and the number of robbers and robbers is smaller, so it doesn't work at all. Isn't it? There are many robbers and robbers, and it is easy for us to find out. If we find out, we will be stopped by the soldiers and horses of the town. Isn't it? And then! If you send reinforcements from your side, the robbers and robbers will not be able to attack. Not only can you deal with robbers and robbers, but even if there is a war, you can also block the enemy? Isn't it? ”

"Yes! Thank you! Pengzi! Zhenyi had to accept and nodded.

"As a town! The land of the market town should belong to your fiefdom, right? ”

"Yes!"

"Since it's your fiefdom, it's not up to you to decide? Isn't it? ”

"Hmm!"

"You just do what I say! It doesn't take much money or manpower! Manpower! It's your soldiers! Don't you have more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in your town? Isn't it? Can you let them do it? ”

"Let the soldiers and horses of the town build the town?"

"Yes!" Peng Zhou looked at the surprised town and said with a smile: "What are you doing with so many soldiers and horses?" Just give them free food every day? Raising them for nothing? Just waiting for the day when the war will be used? ”

"This?" Zhenyi said: "Isn't it like this to raise soldiers and horses? The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while! Not all of them? ”

"Nope! Not so! ”

"What if it's not?"

"You have to learn the methods of garrisoning troops in the frontier, do you know the methods of garrisoning troops in the frontier?" Peng Zhou asked.

"This?"

"It is to keep the soldiers and horses on the frontier to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies. No one knows when the enemy will come, does it? So! It's a waste of troops. Isn't it? But if you don't have troops there, the enemy could invade at any time. Isn't it? So! This approach has been adopted in order to reduce the expenditure of the State......"

"What's the solution?" Zhenyi asked anxiously.

"That's it! Let some soldiers cultivate the land, and some soldiers train. That is, take turns! In the morning, the soldiers went to plough the land, and in the afternoon the soldiers went to stand guard and drill. How to operate it can be summarized while doing it. Anyway! Garrisoning troops to guard the frontier will not cost the country a penny more. Opposite! It also allows the soldiers to live their best lives! Soldiers had to work hard in order to eat and drink well. So! They have everything. Isn't it? ”

"This? We? ”

"Brother, can you do the same? Within the scope of your plan, you have created an artificial river or pond! Such! Isn't it just a natural barrier? Robbers and robbers want to come in, they only have one way to go. Isn't it? ”

"This? Good way is good! But? Will the soldiers be willing? Zhenyi asked suspiciously.

"Can you give them an extra reward?"

"An extra bonus?"

"You let them get their income from farming, don't you? They dig rivers or ponds to raise fish, and you let them get their income? At least! Can you eat farmed fish? Isn't it? If you let them farm, they can eat better, right? Isn't it? With more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, if you don't want to find a way, how much food can you get to feed them in a year? Isn't it? ”

"This?" Zhenyi was a little moved, but he was very skeptical: Is this okay?

"Why don't you give it a try? Isn't it? Peng Zhou persuaded.

"This?" Zhenyi couldn't make up his mind for a while, and hesitated.

"I don't know the specific situation on your Hongyi side. Anyway! I think it will. There are many cities, and artificial rivers are excavated around them. That's a city, isn't it? And we! Just a market town, just for safety! Isn't it? There are natural rivers and artificially excavated ponds around our market town, can they also play a protective role? Isn't it? ”

"I'll seriously consider it! This thing! I still have to discuss with Commander Hong on the other side of the barracks, I personally don't dare to be the master, lest things be ruined! If the soldiers are reluctant and I force them to do it, it will not be good! Isn't it? ”

"Hmmm! So be it! Brother! How did we get to that? Didn't we talk about it? Peng Zhou said suspiciously.

Oh, yes! Didn't you talk about Taoist thought before? How did you get to this??

Zhenyi looked at Peng Zhou, shook his head and said, "That's what you said: Taoist survival wisdom, right?" Isn't it? ”

"Oh! Yeah! Peng Zhou smiled bitterly: "I'm not?" Remembering my brother's Hongyi? Oh, yes! Oh, yes! This is also the wisdom of survival! Isn't it? ”
