The first thing to go from Chenxian is Linxiang County, the seat of Changsha County, after all, as the Changsha Taishou, Liu Yi needs to do some handover with Mi Zhu, and then he can do his own thing, the distance between the water and land is about the same, more than 600 miles, farther than from Jiangling to Linxiang, but relatively speaking, it is still easier to go by water, and it can be reached in six days at the speed of the mother ship.

But in order to take care of Lu Lingqi, Liu Yi deliberately ordered to slow down some speed, the original six-day trip, delayed until ten days to arrive in Changsha, but Liu Yi had already ordered someone to go to Changsha to inform Mi Zhu, not to welcome, but to let Mi Zhu prepare some materials and personnel for himself in advance, after the handover, directly handed over Changsha County to Cui Zhouping to take care of, and he went directly to Dongting Lake with supplies to start making preliminary preparations for the construction of the city.

"Why is Bo Yuan so urgent?" Mi Zhu received Liu Yi in the government office, and introduced some of the gentry of the county to Liu Yi and Cui Zhouping, he knew that the person who actually presided over the government affairs of Changsha was Cui Zhouping, but Liu Yi left after the handover, which still made Mi Zhu a little embarrassed, he remembered that Liu Yi was not such a resolute character.

"Uchiko is pregnant, so it's not suitable for running around and tiring, so I want to get to the place as soon as possible and settle down with my family first." Liu Yi smiled: "Zizhong wants to go with me?" The two generals, Wen Chang and Han Sheng, will also go to Gangneung to report on their work this time, although this is already our territory, but it is always a good thing to have a care on the road. ”

"Congratulations." Mi Zhu suddenly heard this, hugged his fists and smiled: "No wonder when I saw Bo Yuan today, I felt that Bo Yuan's face was red. ”

Liu Yi said a few polite words, glanced at Cui Zhouping, looked at others, and could talk more.

There are many handover of government affairs, even if Mi Zhu has already been prepared, but at the time of the handover, some important tasks, as well as the handover of personnel and property, many of them must be Liu Yi's presence, and after the handover is completed, it has already reached the afternoon, and some of the initial materials prepared by Mi Zhu for Liu Yi have also been loaded, Liu Yi did not stay long, and set off directly to Dongting Lake.

Two days later, when he arrived at Dongting Lake, Liu Yi assigned a boat to Mi Zhu, Wei Yan, and Huang Zhong, and he led people to start surveying the terrain and starting to build a simple walled city.

"Sir, take care, he will come to visit when he has time!" Huang Zhong and Wei Yan said goodbye to Liu Yi, the two of them are in the army, and they are not so free in time, so I am afraid that there are not many opportunities to come.

"When the city is built, I will go to Gangneung, and it will not be too late to continue!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Mi Zhu, seeing the boat leave, Liu Yi led people to start surveying the terrain around, preparing to build a Zhuangzi first, first, to live temporarily for everyone, and secondly, to be the place for the fishing ground in the future.

"Bo Yuan, wouldn't it be better for us to build a house directly in the city just like we did when we built Mo City? Why bother? Wei Yue jumped off the boat and looked at Liu Yidao.

His wife and Lu Lingqi are both pregnant, and this moving around is not good for pregnant women.

"The construction of the city this time is quite different from the original construction of the Mo City." Liu Yi shook his head and said: "The soil here is soft, and we have to dig three feet of ground, if we build the house there, we will have to demolish it again in the future, but it is better to build it here." ”

The boat stopped in the lake, and the family members did not come out, but the soldiers brought from Mocheng began to carry supplies under the boat, Liu Yi and Wei Yue were standing on a low slope at the moment, although the position was not high, but the nearby terrain was flat, and the two of them were condescending at this moment, and their vision was wide.

"Bo Yuan really knows how to choose a place." When Wei Yue heard this, he could only nod, now the descendants and family members of Mocheng have followed, in order to follow Liu Yi, and Lu Lingqi and his wife are taken care of well, before the house is built, those children and mothers can also live temporarily, at this moment, at the foot of the mountain is a vast uncultivated field, it is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, lush, so that people can look at it, and the mood will be happy for no reason.

Further afield, there is the huge Dongting Lake, where you can see the outline of the green mountains from afar, and the surface of the lake sparkles under the breeze and sunlight.

"Let the brothers hurry up, this time they are all dragging their families here, we have to build a place for everyone to live as soon as possible, and the stable woman I taught you to find in the city has been found?" Liu Yi looked at Wei Yuedao.

"Recruited, they are all the most famous in Linxiang, six, and even their families have brought them." Wei Yue nodded, taking care of pregnant women, the maids around her are not easy to use, just a mother Deng has experience, but people always have to rest, so when Liu Yi sent people to Changsha, he asked Mi Zhu to help find some relevant people, and the most important thing is that Liu Yi also wants to take this opportunity to cultivate a large number of maids with this experience, the birth mortality rate in this era is low, and the medical conditions are also a problem.

Of course, the premise is that there is enough money, and now it is better to prepare first.

"Settle in!" Liu Yi nodded and said, "Leave it to the sister-in-law of the Deng family." ”

Now the maids on Liu Yi's side are all brought by Mother Deng.

"This one is relieved." Wei Xu nodded, looked at Liu Yi and said, "Bo Yuan, what are we doing?" ”

Liu Yi only ordered a hundred people to work, and the rest didn't know what to do.

"Go and pull some dirt that is suitable for the mud to make rammed earth." Liu Yi roughly sketched the map around on the wooden board, and said: "Although this is a temporary place for us to live, we are not going to demolish it in the future, this place will be made into a fish pond and a breeding farm, and the place will be very large." ”

This time, Liu Yi is going to build a wooden structure, not digging the foundation, and the entire Zhuangzi building is made to be suspended from the ground, but in order to prevent fire, it is still necessary to cover it with soil, although there is no way to modulate cement, but you can use the method of building a city wall, using egg whites, batter, etc., and some sticky soil to smear on the periphery of the wooden structure house, Liu Yi is also preparing to build a small workshop here, which can produce some fragmented iron objects, if you can't do it with excellent fire prevention.

"Okay, I'll go find someone who can do this, your hundred craftsmen are already waiting over there." Wei Yue pointed to the craftsmen who had already disembarked with their respective tools and assembled, these were all old men from the Heavenly Workshop in the past, and now they were waiting for Liu Yi to arrange things for them.

Liu Yi nodded, went down the hill with Wei Yue, and separated, Liu Yi recruited a group of craftsmen to start designing drawings first.

The only experience he can gain from this kind of group building is the experience of doing it himself and the experience after the entire building is completed, and there is no way for the hired workers to provide Liu Yi with experience, otherwise the establishment of Mocheng will be enough for Liu Yi to advance to the sixth level.

Even if it is a small village, the more perfect it is, the more experience it will gain.

Although he is not going to build a mechanical city like Mocheng, Liu Yi is still ready to build a power circulation system, and the waterwheel is a must, but it is not as big as Mocheng.

In addition, the pattern of this Zhuangzi, Liu Yi decided to use Cui Zhouping's five-five number to build, first look at the effect, and then because it is a suspended structure, the drainage system is relatively easy, but it is necessary to use enough solid wood to drive into the ground as the cornerstone of the future house, in addition, to consider the problem of the lake rising, some simple water conservancy projects need to be there, and the drainage system must also be done first, including transporting the excrement to a unified manure tank and then treating, and in the future, you can also reclaim a field in this area to plant something.

Although the whole Zhuangzi is not big, it has to accommodate more than 3,000 people, the walkways and roads are wooden structures, and a lot of wood is needed.

There is no shortage of trees around, but there is an experience in Mocheng, Liu Yi doesn't want to damage the surrounding environment too much, so where can it be felled, and it needs to be planted after logging, Liu Yi also made a plan, in short, today's thing is to use these existing materials first, the foundation and drainage system of the house will be made.

Liu Yi made the design drawings and studied them carefully, before he began to discuss with everyone how to assign tasks, those solid wood needs to be trenched, so that the wooden planks can be directly connected to the house in the future.

In fact, it is not complicated, because it is a structure that has been set up for a long time, except for the grooves at some key points that need attention, the wood in other places, the places where the grooves are opened are basically the same.

Those trenches in special locations are naturally done by Liu Yi himself, and priority is given to them, but the distance between each other, which needs to be accurately measured, is not something that Liu Yi can complete alone, and requires the cooperation of everyone.

After making some simple rulers, everyone began to sketch first according to Liu Yi's instructions, and some people quickly began to concoct wood after Liu Yi sent money.

Because it was impossible to start work completely today, in order to save money, Liu Yi only selected twenty people to start the work, and as for the others, they began to mark everywhere under Liu Yi's command.

Mother Deng came over in the afternoon to ask Liu Yi to make a row of drying by the lake, and took some women with good cooking skills on the boat to start cooking for everyone, when the sky was not completely dark, the rich aroma had already spread to this side, and many people who were working involuntarily looked towards the shore.

"It's not that you haven't eaten, let's move quickly, finish today's things, go to dinner, and start the official construction tomorrow!" Liu Yi jumped down from a piece of bluestone and scolded with a smile at these craftsmen who were not hired and had already deserted.

Under the afterglow of the sunset, the busy scene makes people feel extra peaceful, which is probably the life they want.
