Chapter 111: College Construction

This time, it was Yang Chang who played first.

Step by step, he slowly walked to the row of big bows, three stone bows, skipping them; Four stone bows, skimmed; Five-stone bow, slightly ...... Forget it, he took a step back and stood in front of the four-stone bow.

According to the Han system, thirty catties are one jun, and four jun are one stone. That is to say, one stone is one hundred and twenty catties. The four-stone bow is 480 catties. Therefore, when pulling out the four-stone bow on the battlefield, you need to step on the bow with both feet and use your arm strength and waist strength to pull this important bow. As for the five-stone bow, it generally takes two people to pull it out. However, these bows have a very long range and are extremely powerful, making them the best weapons for long-range strikes.

In the army, it is already good to be able to open a three-stone bow, like Zhang Yunwen, Wu Peng, and Ma Wangshan are all three-stone bows.

Yang Chang picked up a four-stone bow, held the bow in his left hand, and pulled the string with his right hand, only to see that the four-stone bow bowstring was slowly pulled away, little by little, and in the end, this four-stone bow was finally pulled by him like a full moon.

Putting down the four-stone bow, Yang Chang picked up another five-stone bow. I saw that his face was full of seriousness, took a deep breath, and then let out a loud shout, and slammed off the horse. Suddenly, everyone only felt that Yang Chang's entire body was constantly squirming, and even his feet, which seemed to be rooted in the soil, were shaking slightly.

The same is to hold the bow in his left hand, pull the string with his right hand, and exert force violently. I saw that his black face was suddenly congested and looked even darker. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans continued to flow down his forehead. And the five-stone bow was gradually pulled apart, and in the end, it was pulled into a full moon again.

Putting down the big bow, Yang Chang exhaled softly. I saw that the breath was condensed but not dispersed, and then Yang Chang walked directly and knocked the qi away.

He clenched his fists to the people present and went to the side to rest.

And that Song Waterfall kept staring at Yang Chang, seeing that he opened the four-stone bow first, and then the five-stone bow, his complexion couldn't help but change greatly. Seeing him draw the bow, Song Pu shook his head and said, "I can't pull the five-stone bow to the full!" This time I admit defeat! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Rui suddenly looked disappointed, and waved to Zhang Yunwen and others: "I will send the gambling money as soon as possible!" After speaking, he pulled a few people and walked slowly towards Chang'an.

And that Zhang Yi glanced at Song Waterfall a few times with hatred, and scolded him loudly: "Waste! Then he got on his horse and rode away. Song Pu didn't care about the sons and brothers who were far away, staring at Yang Chang in a daze, and his eyes were full of respect. Finally, after a while, he rushed to Yang Chang's side, knelt down and said loudly, "Master, Master!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Yang Chang was also stunned: "What master is not a master, when did Lao Tzu accept apprentices?" ”

Song Pu hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Yang, don't I worship you as a teacher?" ”

Yang Changyi shook his hand: "You want to apprentice to me!" ”

"Does Master Yang know a way to transport capacity?"

"I'm not going to do anything about you!"

"But I want to learn!"

"You want to learn about my!"

“……”

In the end, when everyone returned to Chang'an, Song Waterfall followed behind with a dead face, and then he also wanted to live in the natural residence, and was kicked out by Yang Chang: "This is the boss's place, not just anyone can live here!" ”

Then Song Waterfall rented a house near the natural residence, and ran to the natural residence every day, until he used up the money on his body, and became familiar with the natural residence, and finally lived in the natural residence with Zhang Yunwen's acquiescence.

The three knights slowly galloped north of Chang'an.

Zhang Yunwen is Ma Wangshan on the left and Yang Shi on the right. Although Zhang Yunwen really wanted these two to stay in the reconnaissance camp and gain a reputation. However, after Ma Wangshan taught the recruits archery for a few days, he withdrew from the reconnaissance camp, saying that he saw so many recruits now, and he was a little uncomfortable staying in the barracks, so he was more comfortable staying with Zhang Yunwen. So, Zhang Yunwen had no choice but to let him become his own personal soldier and take it with him at any time.

As for Yang Shi, he was not very old, and it was when he was lively and jumping, and he could stand the monotonous life in the reconnaissance camp, so he also followed Ma Wangshan to become a personal soldier.

The actions of the two caused a burst of scolding in the reconnaissance camp: "Grandma's, the horse face and that little little bit are too insidious, I know that I can not only train less in peacetime, but also make more credit when I go to the battlefield in the future, why didn't I think of it at the beginning!" ”

Zhang Yunwen's purpose was to see the progress of the construction of the Military Academy.

When I came to the place selected by Li Shimin, I saw that it was very spacious, eight miles from north to south, nearly 20 miles from east to west, and also included a large area of tidal flats on the south bank of Weishui.

In a gentle valley, officials and workers from the Ministry of Industry are building a building that has been built according to Zhang Yunwen's plan. The buildings are mainly temporary housing and warehouses, and a group of workers are repairing the road from Chang'an. Once these facilities are in place, building materials can be transported here in a steady stream, greatly speeding up the construction schedule.

Arriving at the construction site, the official of the Ministry of Works, who was in charge of the construction here, greeted him: "My subordinates have seen the general!" ”

Zhang Yunwen turned over and dismounted, and helped the official up: "Your Excellency is polite!" I don't know the adult's surname? ”

The official clenched his fists and said: "Subordinate Yang Daozhi, he is a member of the Ministry of Works!" ”

Yang Daozhi led the way in front, and Zhang Yunwen followed. Along the way, I saw that the workers were busy, there were carts, soil, transporters, and houses.

However, after looking at the construction site for a long time, Zhang Yunwen's did not gradually wrinkle.

Seeing Zhang Yunwen's appearance, Yang Daozhi couldn't help but ask carefully: "General Zhang, what are you dissatisfied with the construction here?" ”

Zhang Yunwen nodded, and said to Yang Daodao: "Outside Yang Courtyard, please come here to talk!" ”

The two of them came to a secluded place and found a rock to sit on. Zhang Yunwen picked up a branch and unconsciously scratched it on the ground.

"There are two questions!" Zhang Yunwen said, "First, it is the building material! Since ancient times, our Han nationality has used wood and masonry as raw materials, although the building is exquisite and the construction is fast, but it is easy to be destroyed by fire after all! So, this military academy I am made of all-stone bricks and tiles! ”

Yang Shidao listened, was silent for a moment, and said to Zhang Yunwen: "If all stone bricks and tiles are used, the construction cost will increase many times!" Your Majesty is in charge of this matter! ”

Zhang Yunwen suggested: "Did Yang Yuanwai see the tidal flats over there? What do you think about building a brick kiln here, taking the soil from the river beach and burning it into bricks, and then directly using it for the construction here? ”

Yang Daozhi nodded thoughtfully: "Okay!" The general's words are indeed feasible! ”

"That being the case, I hope that Yang Yuanwai will report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible!"

Yang Daozhi said "um": "Xiaguan will go today!" ”

"The second point!" Zhang Yunwen pointed to the craftsmen who were carrying the materials, "Their work efficiency is really poor, and the overall construction progress is also very slow!" As the saying goes, 'If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools', so why not equip them with some better tools, carts, pulleys, etc.? ”

Yang Daozhi was suddenly surprised and said, "This is the best tool?" Well, what are the 'carts' and 'pulleys' that General Zhang is talking about? ”

Zhang Yunwen immediately used the branch in his hand to draw some simple tools on the ground, and explained to Yang Daozhi how labor-saving these tools were while drawing.

Finally, when Zhang Yunwen spent nearly an hour telling these things, Yang Daozhi stood up excitedly and said to Zhang Yunwen: "Listening to the general's words, it's really better than reading for ten years!" Daozhi is here, thank you for the general's advice! ”

Zhang Yunwen said with a smile: "Yang Yuanwai is polite!" You and I both work for Your Majesty, and we should support each other! ”

Then, Zhang Yunwen did not stay here for long, but asked Yang Daozhi to tell the emperor these suggestions as soon as possible, and then left here.

(I found a problem, my book review area is so empty, except for what I said and those who came to visit, there are not many footprints left by my brothers.) In fact, every footprint you leave behind is the driving force for my writing! In addition, I am still writing another book at the same time, so sometimes it is even less, so I hope you will forgive me! Well, I have time to send out a chapter or two of that book to you to see, so that you can give some comments! )
