Acropolis construction site.

After digging the main drainage ditch, Chen Xiong arranged for most of the people to dig the foundation of the city wall, and the rest of the people to dig the drainage ditch in the city. If you don't dig the drain well, it will be very troublesome to dig it later.

The foundation of the city wall is very simple and can be dug casually, and the larger and smaller ones will not be affected. However, large and medium-sized drainage ditches in the city must be planned, and the location of the main roads and alleys must be determined before digging drainage ditches.

The layout of the four acropolises is the same, with a one-kilometer square square and a 300-meter square green belt park in the center. Then the first circle is the military and government public land, which is more than 100 meters wide. Then the second circle belongs to the commercial area, the third circle is also the commercial area, and the third circle starts to be the residential area. The outermost part of the city is a few dozen meters wide from the city walls, and the residential area is separated by a green belt of 100 meters. The outermost circle is mainly used for the workshops and colleges, as well as the city guard barracks.

The entire inner garden of the Acropolis is divided in all directions by four main roads dozens of meters wide like a cross. Then there is the dense circle of residential and commercial areas, and the blocks are full of streets and alleys connected in all directions.

After the dense layout and the overall street are planned, the drainage ditches are dug.

Cash-for-work: A laborer can receive food rations for four people a day, and also eat three meals, which is a good thing that is more affordable than farming. Not only did the northern return to Hermes-Epitek participate, but the labor force from the nearby state capital also flocked to the large construction site in Guangzhou.

One million people, including men and women, even old people who can still work, and half-grown children, who are considered half-laborers, can also receive two days of food rations a day.

The work of the entire Political Yuan was mainly to build the city, and the various prefectures of Guangzhou also produced a large number of materials such as masonry and stone to support the construction of Guangzhou. For example, there is as much wood as you want, even if it is used to make a fire, it is not worth much.

Under Chen Xiong's personal supervision, the foundation and ditch were dug in ten days. The city wall is designed to be three meters high and four meters wide, with a foundation five meters wide and two meters deep, with pillars and main walls inside and outside made of bricks and stones, and filled with sand and gravel in the middle.

The interior and exterior walls are half a meter thick, and every five meters there is a one-meter-wide masonry dwelling. There are also support columns in the middle, which are also prepared for the installation of cannons. Cement was not developed, only clay could be used, but the effect was good.

After the city wall is high enough, the inner and outer walls must be locked with stone slabs and stone strips when capping. Although there is no cement reinforcement, it is locked and fixed by the splicing method used in carpentry, and the final effect is not bad.

After two months, the supply of masonry ran out, and half of the workers switched to quarrying or brick making. The first gate was built, which was 10 meters wide and 5 meters high, and the wide iron-clad gate would be slid by steel rails.

The four acropolises were built inside and outside the city, some of them built the city walls, and the rest built houses and paved roads in the city. The main avenues are paved with smoothed stone slabs, and the alleys are filled with bricks and stones, which are not even flat but better than muddy.

It took half a year for Chen Xiong to also leave the construction site. The construction of the Four Acropolis was even faster than expected, and the walls were completely completed, and half of the houses in the city were built. The houses in the castle are made of blue bricks, and the supports and roofs are made of wood and black bricks. Most of the houses are about 100 square meters with two floors, and the small buildings have only completed the main body, and the subsequent cubicles and decorations are solved by the residents themselves. Based on the principle of one house for five people per household, some houses of 150 square meters are distributed to Hermes-Epitek with more than five people per household. Of course, the largest private house is only 150 square meters, and after the completion of the residential settlement, there will be a small half of the vacant land for building houses and half of the commercial and industrial land in the city.

The Four Acropolis of Guangzhou were only distributed to the homeless Han people who returned to the north, and after that they would no longer own their own land, and they would all be turned into the first batch of workers.

The strength of the people is the strength, and the four acropolises were built at a speed visible to the naked eye. After returning to the north and having their own place to live, they have also become much more stable. The residents of the old city of Guangzhou are also very envious of the neat layout of the new city, and many merchants have also begun to buy houses and shops in the four acropolis.

The city was busy building the city, and the various armies did not stop.

Most of the mountain bandits in various places have been cleared, and the pirates in the South China Sea have all stayed away from the waters of Guangdong. The merchant ships flying the tricolor flag of the junta, and the pirates in the East China and the South China Sea did not dare to intercept them. Of course, the pirates in the Beihai area still had to collect tolls for the merchant ships in the south.

Last month, Luo Hu, the commander-in-chief of Lingzhou, also officially became the commander of the Eighth Army of the Han Dynasty, and the Luo brothers were also preparing to attack the surrounding prefectures and counties after the winter weather improved, especially Nanning, the first grain-producing center in Guangxi.

The six-month military government has preliminarily accomplished the three major objectives of the first military-government-civilian conference. After the capture of the island and the acquisition of 3,000 Western European craftsmen, the quality of the military junta's firearms began to keep up with the level of Western Europe.

The munitions factory in Baiyun Mountain, Guangzhou, is now capable of producing 1,000 flint flint guns and 10 general cannons per month. The steel mill is still at the same level, but the quality of the steel is getting better and better.

Guangdong's general stability for half a year also made the Han people everywhere begin to recognize the rule of the military government. The resistance of the officers and men in the interior of Guangxi also began to waver.

In the past six months, Chen Xiong has been most satisfied with three things. The first thing is: the bellies of the two wives are getting bigger and bigger, although the relationship between Princess Changping and the two princesses is also getting better and better.

The second is the expansion of the grass and wood soldiers, and after the reincarnation of the last group of grass and wood soldiers: the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies of the Han Dynasty, each army reached 15,000 people. The three heavy cavalry armies also reached 5,000 men, and each heavy cavalry commander was led by an iron man.

The grass and wood soldiers are all captained by the iron man as the commander at all levels, and the stone man is also all included in the three heavy cavalry armies.

In addition to the pro-army, Chen Xiong's pro-guard battalion is even more amazing.

The main force of the guard battalion is 200 iron cavalry, and 1,000 stone heavy cavalry, and the wooden guards are all used as palace guards. In the camp of the guards, instead of people, they were not people, but a group of wild animals.

Today, there are a total of 30 reincarnated large green snakes, and the first two green snakes were already 20 meters long. It's not that there isn't enough wood, it's that these green snakes need too much food, but luckily they can go into the sea to catch fish on their own.

There are a total of 100 guards and 300 guarded wolves, and these beasts are all male and female pairs. Tiger wolves are not like African lions, there is a huge difference between male and female, and female tigers are even more dangerous and deadly than male tigers in China!

In order to feed these beast soldiers, Chen Xiong also made people start to raise a large number of cattle, sheep and poultry, anyway, there were so many summer grains handed over from all over the country that there was almost no place to put them. Now these ordinary rice, the people of Guangzhou are unwilling to ask for it. Fortunately, the Southern Ming Dynasty was willing to buy a large number of them, otherwise they could only smash them.

There were 45,000 grass and wood soldiers, 5,000 heavy cavalry troops, and a group of siege monsters. In the short term, Chen Xiong no longer expanded the number of grass and wood soldiers, and did not absorb ghasts for a long time, and the ghast fragments gushing out of the hell gate also decreased a lot. It's not just a matter of ghasts, the more and more grass and wood soldiers there are, the weaker his spirit becomes. Each soldier divides a trace of his spirit as the core of his reincarnation, so he can't expand his army endlessly. Cultivate for at least one year before you can expand the army again!

However, there are more than 50,000 grass and trees reincarnated soldiers, which is enough for him to defend the southern country. If Nanming really couldn't support it, he would go north to repel the Qing army. It is not difficult to defeat the Qing army, but it is very troublesome to change the decaying class! The Canton military government needs time to grow, and it needs time to cultivate a new class. Hundreds of thousands of Han troops also need to slowly replace the artillery with guns, if the fixed rifle is successfully developed, the Manchu iron cavalry will become history.

The third thing that satisfied him was the completion of the formal preparations for the Guangzhou Military and Political Academy. All the textbooks for elementary and junior high schools written by him and dozens of scribes have been completed, and all the new teachers and lecturers have completed special training.

The new secondary school curriculum is no longer based on ancient texts, but all ancient cultures are included in the Chinese curriculum. The college is temporarily divided into: Chinese (including virtue), mathematics, politics and law (including people-oriented thought), science and manufacturing (technology and physical chemistry). ), art (calligraphy, painting, music), martial arts (fitness, military training, and boxing), and finally miscellaneous, including history, geography, biology (but also world history).

There are seven courses in middle school and only four courses in primary school: Chinese, Mathematics, Art, and Martial Arts.

For the sake of these teaching materials, Chen Xiong has tried his best to dig out all his memories. Fortunately, he was only responsible for speaking, and the two little wives and Princess Changping were responsible for dictation.

In order to convince these Confucian scribes in Lingnan, Chen Xiong also tried his best, and even let his own soldiers come to the door to threaten with force; In the end, the negotiations promised a lot of benefits, which were reluctantly accepted by the Lingnan gentry and Confucian scholars.

Fortunately, at this time, the people of the late Ming Dynasty had already begun to look at the world, otherwise it would be even more difficult for him to convince everyone. Of course, the main thing is that the 700,000 land and water army left the gentry without any way to resist!

Later, Chen Xiong's profound knowledge also made the Lingnan scribes recognize his talent in their hearts. What made the squire sigh was that the threat of King Annam's might only made them leave Lingnan as soon as possible. There was no seizure of family property, and no innocent injuries were killed. After several persuasions, the chief also agreed.

Today, one-third of the textbooks in primary and secondary schools in the college are the knowledge and memories of Chen Xiong's previous life. These teaching materials can be said to be the crystallization of more than 20 years of his previous life......
