Chapter 476: A City in One Day

Each log is simply cut out of a recess, which is fixed together under the connection of on-site processed wooden planks and iron nails, and only one side has a wooden plank, forming a wooden row.

After that, the wooden raft was pushed into the ditch, with the side of the plank facing inward, and the top of the wooden raft rushing out was tied with rope, which was held in the hands of the prisoner.

The command staff waved and shouted: "Pull! ”

"Pull!"

Chinese, Zhanren, and Funan began to reverberate, because the two-foot-deep pit was a fixed point, and the wooden raft was pulled upright by the crowd.

"Hold on, straighten up, except for the person pulling the tree, everyone else hurry up and fill in the soil!"

The soil that had just been dug up was filled back into the pit, and unlike before, there were rows of wooden rows in the soil.

"Continue to hold steady, put on the plank, and use the mace to nail the wooden raft to the big tree with the red cloth strip!"

"Tong Tong Tong~"

Under the action of the hammer plank, the wooden row was fixed for the second time, and when this section was completed, Cao Xing and others finally saw the front of its Lushan Mountain.

Cao Xing looked at a section of wooden wall in front of him that had been formed in just half a day, yes, all this was done by wooden walls, and muttered with his mouth open:

"Add food! All building conductors have a meal! At this rate, the walls can be built in a day or two, and the meat of these buildings for tonight must be taken care of by everyone! Give each one more concubine! ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

The construction command staff began to cheer.

"Who are the masterminds! I want to see him."

After a while, a young man walked towards Cao Xing, and said with a little blush: "Yes, yes, yes, it belongs to a subordinate." ”

"Well, it turns out that it's Ma Jun you again!"

Cao Xing was shocked by this stuttering genius of the Han Dynasty invention for the umpteenth time:

"Five-masted sea ships, Quyuan ploughs, Champa rice, keel suction wheels, large waterwheels, improved looms, water conservancy casting machines, etc., are now becoming cities on this day!

It is like tens of millions of laborers! ”

When Ma Jun heard this compliment, he shook his head again and again, the more he stuttered like this, and he was so anxious that he was speechless.

This praise made Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Si Xun and others all look sideways, praising Lu Bu for winning just 100,000 elite soldiers, and Ma Jun produced 10 million laborers at once.

But if you really have to calculate it carefully, the labor saved really has to break through the rhythm of 10 million.

Cao Xuan patted him on the shoulder:

"Ma Jun, don't worry, don't be arrogant, work hard, now you are the squire of the Ministry of Works, and after Xiang Shangshu retires from Gu Yang Tiannian in the future, you will take over Shangshu's position!"

Ma Jun's eyes widened, and everyone present widened their eyes, like Lu Bu also showed some dissatisfaction, but no one dared to speak out under Cao Xing's huge prestige, and more importantly, as long as this matter did not come to that day, it was possible that it would not be fulfilled.

Bidding farewell to Ma Jun, Cao Xing came to the wooden village that had taken shape rapidly, with logs as walls, developed roots and straight trunks as piers, and the size of the space set up was just enough to accommodate 50,000 people.

When they came to the camp tent that had just been set up, everyone had not yet sat down, and Cao Xing had already spoken:

"The scale of 50,000 people!

Now that 50,000 people are here, you can help a little more, and after a while, the army is gone, and the garrison left behind can grow crops such as fruits and vegetables in the wooden walls on this basis, plus the port can go out to sea to fish, as long as the garrison is not much, it is enough to be self-sufficient in the world outside the wall.

Ma Jun has really made a great contribution! ”

After Cao Xing's explanation, Lu Bu and others who didn't figure it out suddenly realized that they began to understand what the highlights of Chengcheng on this day were!

Xun Su had already understood the meaning, but it was not direct enough, so he helped his newly recognized lord to come to an assist:

"In the wilderness of the south, the rebellious Nanban, under the cover of the familiar terrain of the forest, always harassed the Han people everywhere, and the main difficulty that has always hindered the Han people from occupying and taking root in the new land lies here.

There is no relatively safe place to live, and their lives are in danger all the time, how can the people on the border of the Han Dynasty feel at ease? ”

Speaking of this, Xun Su looked at Lu Bu and other generals:

"No matter how brave and good the generals are, no matter how much territory they conquer, and there are no people in their own country to take root, this no-man's land will be robbed by aliens sooner or later!

The formation of such a large city marked a safe place to live and gave the most basic guarantee to the crisis-ridden new land, so that only the people of the country were willing to move here! ”

Speaking of this, Xun Su stopped talking, and looked at the generals on the right who suddenly realized it, and then Zhao Yun stood up:

"With this city, this land is the real land of the Han Dynasty! And we can capture more territory at a faster pace, and we can even set sail tomorrow for the next port in the picture! ”

After everyone's explanation, everyone understood why Ma Jun had such a high evaluation.

"Is there anyone else who is not convinced?"

The camp was silent, and Lu Bu, who had been arrogant, also chose to acquiesce, with the construction technology of becoming a city in one day, it can be said that the upper limit of the speed of expanding the territory has been increased by dozens of times, and in a sense, the upper limit of the generals' merits has been increased by dozens of times in disguise, who else can say that he is not convinced?

"Huh!"

Cao Xuan broke the silence with a smile and began to guide the atmosphere towards inspiration:

"Then as Zhao Yun said, we will set off tomorrow, sleeping there is not sleeping, tomorrow night except for the sea master, everyone else will sleep beautifully on the ship, and the early morning of the day after tomorrow will be when we will capture the next piece of territory!"

All the civil and military forces lined up and bowed their hands:

"No!"

Not long after entering the camp, all the civil and military forces began to disperse again, and they would set off tomorrow, so it would be before dark at the latest, and the 50,000 soldiers and civilians of Jinougang still had one day and one night to build Xingang City.

There are still tens of thousands of miles away from the destination, obviously there will not be too many garrisons left, a city that can accommodate 50,000 people, how can a few garrisons build it by themselves, so the time of departure can be said to depend on the time when the wooden wall is completed as a whole.

When Zhong Wenwu left the camp, he went to various posts and commanded overtime work.

Only Cao Xing and his five long followers were left in the camp tent that was still lively just now.

The five followers quietly did their own thing, leaving a quiet environment for the contemplative Cao Xing.

Cao Xing's eyes looked at the map, thinking in his heart, just when he felt thirsty, a teacup was handed over, and the fragrance of the roasted tea was pale red without a trace of impurities.

After Gong Du, a tea master trained by himself, died to protect himself, it was the first time he drank tea of this level in the military camp for nearly a year.

Tea art is not something that anyone can achieve if they want to learn the master level, at least five rude followers can't learn it in their lifetime, the most particular thing is to be delicate, Cao Xuan suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked up at the person who handed the tea.
