Chapter 24: Accidents (I)

(Good morning, everyone!) Today is a normal update. I hope you will continue to support it with clicks, recommendations, favorites, and evaluations. What's that, Prince Wei led his book friends, your character has appeared, don't you give a vote to support and encourage it? )

I walked into the boot camp bare-bottomed.

Liang Kuan was blunt on the first page of his family tree a few decades later.

At that time, he was still called Liang Youmi.

The autumn grain is harvested!

Despite the summer typhoon, the typhoon was not without its use, as the abundant precipitation provided abundant water to the newly cultivated fields, and after ditches were opened, people quickly planted a second crop of rice on the land.

Nowadays, the large and small villages and tunpu of Ha Jing are full of yellow straw colors and the intoxicating smell of rice bran.

People either drove ox carts, or carried burdens and baskets, and successively sent their harvests to Siwucang in the General's Mansion. "It is a matter of course to do the land people to hand over the emperor's grain." The old people looked at the abundance of grain in their barns, and they felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Liang Youmi, no, Liang Kuan, wearing the autumn clothes that had just been issued, together with the veterans and the first captains, held spears in the school field outside the general's mansion to maintain order for the villagers who came to pay public grain and sell surplus grain.

"Youmi, oh, Ah Kuan, in a quarter of an hour, our shift will have a change of guard, go to the street to buy something for the family?" The veteran Lu Yunsheng chatted with Liang Kuan with great interest.

"Brother, you know, I am alone to feed the whole family and not hungry,......" Liang Kuan was a little gloomy.

"Oh, blame me! Look at my brother's pig brain, forget about it! ”

"When I was a child, my father and mother thought that there would be no shortage of rice in the future, so they gave me the name of Youmi, hoping that I would have rice to eat in the future. On that day, the camp official said that it was okay to have rice or money, but in order to live a more comfortable life, he wrote a Liang Kuan on the roster. However, I think the name is much more powerful than Yumi! ”

Recalling his experience in the past few months, Liang Kuanru was in a dream.

It's already a surprise that the rice that has fallen all over the field can stand on its own (if they can afford glasses), and how it can continue to grow?! Also, when I arrived in Ha Jing and entered this new barracks, there were even more unexpected things.

"Take off your dress! It's all exposed! Take a shower and go! Also, after changing your clothes, shoes and hats, go to the town magistrate to get a bamboo card, and it will be your household post in the future! Thinking of the novelty and embarrassment of the day of entering the camp, Liang Kuan felt a burst of warmth in his heart for no reason, this feeling seemed to be only available when he was a child in A-Niang's arms.

Looking at the endless food delivery team in front of him, he touched the Zhangliu spear in his hand, and felt a burst of pride and pride, as if he was rising from the cement floor under his feet along the fat jacket of military shoes to the Mud Pill Palace.

As far as the eye can see, from the school field outward, Ha Jing has developed from a small town to a town that has begun to take shape. The pavement was made of earth and cement, straight and flat, and stretched all the way out of the city.

Unlike the cities in the interior, Shouhan did not plan to build a city wall at that time, "At that time, with the strength of the Qin state, Xianyang did not build a city wall. Instead of having the manpower, money and food to build the city wall, it is better to use it to attack the enemy and build the city wall in the hearts of this generation! Their word of mouth is our Jincheng soup pool! ”

However, the power of tradition makes Shouhan speechless.

"How can you not build walls with such a career?"

"In the past, my Taizu Emperor Gao built a high wall and accumulated grain, but now, I have a lot of money and grain, how can I not build a city wall?"

(Nima!) The person who said this definitely didn't respect my Emperor Taizu Gao! Absolute wolf ambition! )

Helplessly, Shouhan built a city wall according to the terrain of Hejing, as well as the situation of the surrounding market, according to the Western-style fortress and the composition of the city defense system in his own impression, the forts and arrow towers on the city wall are readily available, under the city wall, the moat has become a ditch, and a bunker is built at the foot of the city wall.

Well, if there is an enemy who can fight here, just wait to enjoy the treatment of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in front of such a fortification!

More than 10,000 newly captured officials and slaves worked for a whole summer, and finally completed the construction of the defense system of this town, which was indecent in the eyes of all parties.

"Brother, what are you going to buy when you go back?"

"My cattle are not very good to use, they are too old, and I plan to go to the cattle market later and pick a bull to send back to my family. The day before yesterday, the family brought a letter and bought a set of nine-turn steel plough sticks, and Daddy planned to open dozens of acres of land in the winter! ”

"Brother, I'll go with you in a while! I used to herd cattle for three or five years, and I can see the quality of the cows! ”

"Then there is you, Brother Law! I didn't say it, I'll invite you to eat roast meat in a while! Let's have another jar of wine! ”

"Brother, have you forgotten military discipline? Whoever drinks alcohol during the duty shall be punished with twenty rods. Liang Kuan deliberately raised his face to scare Lu Yunsheng.

"Hey, hey, hey! As soon as I was happy, I forgot about it......"

When Liang Kuan and Lu Yunsheng were chatting and laughing on the school grounds, Li Shouhan and his subordinates were discussing in the conference hall of the General's Mansion.

Now it seems that the typhoon disaster in the summer is definitely beneficial and harmless to Li Shouhan. After the rescue of the grass and wood ash, the total output of the paddy fields with an area of up to one million mu has not decreased compared with previous years, but the average per mu has increased by dozens of catties.

As expected, the failure of the rice harvest did not occur, which made the civil and military officials breathe a long sigh of relief.

However, what happened next made these people laugh from ear to ear.

After learning that the nearby Han Chinese displaced villages, which were also affected by the disaster, had not been affected in the slightest, but had a bumper harvest, they sent people to ask the general's palace to accommodate them. And it was not a simple annexation, but a direct request to the general's government to send someone to manage and set up a protective armor. The reason is very simple, "Such a disaster can not be affected in the slightest, this is not the favor of God, what is it?" Such a character, nerds don't follow! For a time, more than 300 students of the second phase of the Political Affairs Hall, under the leadership of their seniors, in groups of three or five, stepped into new leadership positions in high spirits, serving as the chief of security, teaching, inspection and other positions in the new district.

The population has increased by nearly 30,000 people, the territory has increased by nearly 1,000 miles, the cultivated land area has increased by one million mu, and the area of land that can be cultivated has increased by several times. Problems also arise.

"My lord, rank, now our army occupies a vast area, but the total strength of several battalions together is less than five thousand. Among them, the two battalions of the Guards Battalion and the Phoenix Middle Battalion, which are responsible for the security of Ha Jing and the General's Mansion, are not easy to move, so there are only four battalions left, the Qilin Left and Right Battalion and the Phoenix Left and Right Battalion, less than 3,000 men and horses. To the south to the Lingjiang River, to the east to the sea, to the west to Laos, to the north to the Zheng family, such a large ground, these people are far from enough. If it weren't for the fact that each village has a strong team to assist in law and order under the leadership of their own patrols, I am afraid that the bandits, stragglers, and barbarians in various places alone would be enough for us to see. Chen Tianhua, who was in charge of the battalion office, spoke as a military representative.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Mr. Lie, my lord, if we want to protect our homeland well, I have calculated, first, the strength of at least 8,000 troops must be at least about 8,000 before it can be barely used, and second, it is best to replace all the weapons at the head of each battalion with nine-turn steel. Thirdly, the casting ...... of artillery "

"We have no objection to expanding the troops, after all, many of the strong men everywhere today have worked with various battalions to suppress bandits and fight barbarians! They are all good soldiers. However, what Master Chen said just now, all the things that were replaced by nine turns of steel, forgive me! ”

Ling Zheng and Feng Mofeng, who were in charge of metallurgy and manufacturing, spoke out in unison.

"Nowadays, all villages are queuing up to buy our farm tools, and with these farm tools, the number of acres of land registered in the houses is almost the same every season! The things that are made every day, when they are still hot, are loaded and pulled away by the guys in the shop, and when they arrive in the shop, they are immediately snatched up. This matter, the shopkeeper Lin can testify. Feng Mofeng bowed his hand to the forest fire on the opposite side.

"Master Feng is right. Nowadays, our nine-turn steel farm tools, of course, are not purely built of nine-turn steel, but just clamped steel; Outside of Ha Tinh, a plough stick can be sold for five taels of silver! A sickle or an axe also costs a tael of silver. ”

"For export, let's not talk about it, just in the jurisdiction of the General's Palace, I have the account book here, the distribution of the metallurgical workshop that day is 5,000 catties for farming tools, a set of farm tools at least 20 catties, even if we mix pig iron and wrought iron, we still have to consume about 10 catties. Besides, pig iron and wrought iron also have to be smelted in a furnace! Now, in my shop, the fixed amount of money and grain for the purchase of farm tools from various villages and guarantees is about to break through the warehouse, but it is impossible to deliver the goods. People pointed at my surname Lin and scolded, that is, but if the general's great cause is delayed because of this incident, Lin can't afford to be guilty! ”

"You don't talk nonsense! It is important to farm! Or is the place important?! The place is not the general's, it is not quiet, how do you farm ?! Xu Huanshan jumped up from his chair and was about to have a seizure.

"Big Tiger! Sit down! ”

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Shouhan hurriedly shouted to stop Xu Huanshan, a guy with some violent tendencies.

"Well, it's a question of which direction to invest limited industrial resources, whether it's in the field of national economic construction or military power." Shouhan pretended to be deep in his heart. Actually, that's exactly what it is. Today, the daily output of nine turns of steel is 10,000 catties, and the demand for agricultural production tools has greatly squeezed the share of military production.

What's more, those new tunpu, those strong men also have to be distributed with weapons, and these are all to be paid from the share of military production, that is, the pitiful two thousand catties. Looking at the firearms made in those laboratories, Xu Huanshan and the other officers almost burst into flames in their eyes.

"Your Excellency, sir, don't blame Brother Xu for being reckless. You don't know, a month ago, our department and Brother Xu's department each dispatched a sentry to form a southward detachment to support the garrison there to encircle and suppress the Haoqiang and Tukou entrenched on the north bank of the Lingjiang River. Ye Qi, the battalion officer of the Guards Battalion, stood up and saluted the four outside, and his words gave people a feeling of warmth like jade.

"Unexpectedly, several strong villages, are made of glutinous rice slurry stones, although afterwards our army still uprooted these villages, but compared with the previous battles, especially such a battle to seize the fort, the casualties are really heavy, two sentinels, plus the local garrison, the requisitioned strong men, add up to more than 1,000 people, the wounded are more than 100 people, and the dead are nearly 60 people. Among the injured, there are nearly half of the stump limbs. Rank, Brother Xu also remembered the large and small artillery tried in the Taiping Cave that day, if these artillery pieces were here, we would have a sharp weapon to attack the fortifications, and those brothers would not have suffered such a large number of casualties. ”

Ye Qi's words were very peaceful, but they made the faces of the Han Yuan firm and the metallurgical workshop hot and uncomfortable.

The people in the house looked at each other, and their faces were full of embarrassment and guilt, shame.

Someone took advantage of this opportunity to attack in a big way.

Zuo Tianpeng, the battalion officer of the Xuanwu Battalion, jumped out.
