Now that Hua Tuo has made a decision, Hua Xing didn't say anything more.

After promising that the other party would build a medical center as soon as possible, he left the hut and walked straight to the home of the village chief, Yong Xingwang......

When he came to the village chief's house, Hua Xing first briefly inquired about the situation in the village, and then entrusted the construction of the medical center to the other party.

As early as three years ago, there was a doctor in the village.

But because of the loneliness of the village and the lack of military protection, he eventually chose to leave.

Since then, there has not been even a resident healer in the village. On weekdays, if there is a serious illness, I have to go to the neighboring village to see the disease, which is very inconvenient.

Therefore, after learning that Huaxing was going to build a medical center for Hua Tuo in the village, Yong Xingwang showed great joy on the spot, and agreed without saying a word, promising to complete it within a month.

After talking about the medical hall, Huaxing put forward a few suggestions to the village chief by the way, hoping that more infrastructure could be built in the village.

For example, building roads, building schools, and cultivating more farmland will definitely be beneficial to the future development of the village.

Yong Xingwang was originally obedient to Hua Xing's words, and these suggestions were indeed beneficial to the village, so Village Chief Yong agreed without thinking about it.

After explaining these things, I saw Hua Xing sitting at the table, tapping the table with his fingertips, frowning slightly, still without leaving. After thinking for about seven or eight seconds, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked again:

"By the way, village chief, do you have any research on fortifications?"

"Huh? Fortification? What do you mean? Yong Xingwang was confused.

"It's like a wall, a ditch, a moat, or something that can help us defend against foreign enemies."

Hearing Hua Xing say this, Yong Xingwang nodded with understanding, but soon said worriedly:

"General Hua, is someone going to attack our village?"

"Not yet, but in the future...... It's hard to say. Hua Xing shook his head and replied:

"In case someone wants to come to the village to cause trouble, the fortifications can help us better defend against foreign enemies. If we have a surplus of manpower, we should build some as well. ”

Since the last time I learned about the situation with Tao Sha, in Huaxing's opinion, the possibility of Lu Pu being an enemy has increased a few points again.

If it is really a hostile relationship, then sooner or later they will turn their faces.

If you don't prepare in advance, you will definitely be caught off guard by the other party.

So just in case, during this time, Huaxing also had to think about "defense".

"Oh, so the general is planning ahead...... This is good, but the old man knows nothing about fortifications, and if there is no other person's guidance, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete. ”

Let Yong Xingwang build a barracks and farm a field, these are his strengths. But when it comes to building fortifications, he has no experience, and his face is embarrassed.

"What if we gave you a drawing like we did last time we built a chicken coop? Can the village chief build it according to the cat and the tiger? Huaxing had an idea.

"Of course it's fine!" Hearing this, Yong Xingwang said with confidence:

"As long as the general's design is reasonable, the old man promises to make you exactly the same."

"Good! I'll give you the drawings in a few days, and I'll be working hard for the village chief then. ”

After hugging his fist at the other party, he saw Hua Xing take out forty or fifty large silver ingots from the black pocket on the ground and put them on the table:

"Whether it's infrastructure or fortifications, it costs a lot of money. This is two thousand taels of silver, and the village chief will use it first, and if it is not enough, he will ask me again. ”

After living for more than sixty years, Yong Xingwang saw so much silver for the first time, and his face showed surprise:

"W-Where did you use so much? Two or three hundred taels is enough, and the general doesn't need to ......"

didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, but Hua Xing waved his hand and interrupted:

"Manpower and materials cost money, the village chief should give it, don't be stingy, otherwise the villagers will not want to help us in the future, hehe. If there is a surplus, it will be stored with you first, and it will definitely be useful in the future. In addition, if there are not enough manpower, you can coordinate with General Tang. As long as they do not go out to fight, the soldiers can participate in the construction. ”

After explaining the last thing, Huaxing didn't stay longer, and after saying goodbye to the village chief, he lifted his pocket and walked all the way to the barracks with the sound of jingling bells.

……

Half an hour later, after listening to everyone's reports, Hua Xing got up and walked to the sand table in the center of the command room, told everyone about his plan to build fortifications for the village, and asked everyone if there were any good suggestions.

As soon as he heard that he was going to build fortifications, Zhang Liao was the first to jump out and said a lot of suggestions:

First, because the stone used to build the city wall was too large and heavy, and judging from the current manpower situation of the village, they did not have the ability to build a large city, so he suggested that the selection of materials should be mainly wood;

Second, although wood is not as strong as stone, as long as it is built reasonably, it can still resist foreign enemies.

Zhang Liao's suggestion was to build a "city wall" made of wooden piles around the village, and to build a "village gate" in each of the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest to facilitate access.

In this way, no matter which direction the enemy attacks, there is something to resist;

Thirdly, in addition to building the city walls, he also proposed to build some more lookouts and shooters' towers at the gates and corners of the city to help observe the enemy from a distance.

Fourth, you can also set up some deer rocks around the city wall or dig a few "moats", and place some spiked props in the ditch, which can effectively prevent the enemy from approaching.

I didn't expect Zhang Liao to be so familiar with fortifications, and after listening to these suggestions, Hua Xing praised from the bottom of his heart:

"Yo? I only said that General Zhang was brave and good at fighting, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with the fortifications, I really admire, admire! Wen Yuan, who did you learn these things from? Is it General Lu? ”

After hearing Huaxing's praise, Zhang Liao's face quickly flashed with a touch of pride, and he replied modestly:

"Hehe, master praise, compared to your Qimen Dunjia technique, my ability is nothing. General Lu is not good at building defenses, and I learned it from Master Chen Gong before. ”

"Oh, I learned it from Master Chen?" After nodding knowingly, he listened to Huaxing and Zhang Liao's instructions:

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you! Go back and design it well, then hand over the drawings to the village chief, and finish the fortifications as soon as possible. ”

As soon as he heard that he finally had a job to do, Zhang Liao, who had been idle for a long time, immediately patted his chest and replied: "Don't worry, master, this matter is on me." ”

After chatting about the fortifications, Hua Xing turned his attention to Wei Kuo, who was sitting at the end, and asked the new protector who had just been promoted about another matter:

"By the way, Wei Hujun, do you know a lot about the mine where you hid before?"
