Liu Dalu himself was preparing for the battle, but his preparation was much simpler, he only needed a weapon.

After the first battle in Qingping County, he found that he was still a little weak in those cold weapons such as knives and guns, and it was best to avoid them.

So, he needed a powerful weapon, and after thinking about it, he found that it was more practical to use a stick, or it could not be called a stick, but it had to be called a pillar, that kind of big pillar.

Knives, guns, swords, halberds, these weapons are too troublesome to build, Liu Dalu himself doesn't know how long they can be used, how good the pillars made of wood are, the forest is full of materials, how thick they are, pick well, and you can always pick the right one.

But after picking for a long time, Liu Dalu always felt uncomfortable to use, there was too much water in fresh trees, and the trunks were generally not straight, unless it was a section from the middle of the tree that was one or two meters thick, and finally, Tie Datou had an idea, he said that there were not many big families in the county town left, those houses were almost uninhabited, and the wood used by those big families was good wood.

So Liu Dalu went to the county seat, not to mention, those big families are cattle, many even the beams are made of rosewood, Liu Dalu finally picked two, he prepared one to put in the county seat, one in Tiejiabao, and use it at any time when the time comes.

These two red sandalwood beams are about half a meter in diameter and twenty meters in length, which is longer than Liu Dalu's body, weighing more than two thousand catties, resting on Liu Dalu's body, he can make his attack distance extend forward by about twelve meters, which is a rather exaggerated attack distance, which means that as long as he wields it, no one can get close to him.

Liu Dalu is very satisfied with these two big pillars, with them, Liu Dalu thinks that he can fight at least 10,000, if the terrain is good, for example, in that kind of position, there is no long-range attack, and he will die if he comes.

The weapons were ready, Liu Dalu asked the fort guards to go to the border of Qingping County to explore more recently, if there was an army coming, the fort guards did not need to move, just notify him as soon as possible.

After the fort guards and the people of Qingping County felt the domineering spirit of the dragon king wielding the pillar, their worries about the battle had disappeared, because the dragon king was too powerful to match at all.

Back in Tiejiapu, the people of Tiejiabao rested for two days after the end of spring ploughing, and reopened the kiln to burn cement.

However, paving roads to the county town is not as anxious as building a dam, and you can do it slowly, because this is a relatively long project.

Liu Dalu told Tiema about his requirements for this official road, "The width should be at least six meters, which can accommodate two ox carts in parallel, which is the least, if you can, it is better to build it wider." ”

When Tie Ma heard this, he smacked his lips on the side, but he didn't say anything, anyway, the Dragon King can do whatever he wants, and the Dragon King must have his intentions.

In fact, Liu Dalu really didn't have any intentions, he just felt that it should be widened, even if he didn't need it now, he would definitely use it in the future.

Therefore, laying the cement road, waiting for the cement road to solidify, and then planting vines on both sides of the cement road, this is the main work of the Tiejiabao people in the future.

With the official road as the main trunk, the cement road on both sides is the branches, constantly extending, every day there are new changes, the vines are sprouting, bringing more greenery to Tiejiabao, anyone can see that these grapes are growing very well, according to this growth, these grapes are likely to be able to produce grapes this year, ushering in the first wave of harvest.

The affairs of Tiejiabao developed extremely smoothly, but in the county seat, Quan Gang was in a difficult situation.

The county seat is located in the center of Qingping County, the Qingyuan River flows through the county, surrounded by a vast plain area, and does not have the conditions for burning cement, so after the end of spring ploughing, Quan Gang convened everyone, let everyone prepare to dig a ditch, in Quan Gang thought, this is a good thing, how do you know but has been opposed by many people.

"My lord, what ditch are you digging for?"

"When did we dig a ditch in Qingping County?"

"Yes, the Qingyuan River has never been dry, and digging ditches is completely useless."

"That's right, my lord, although the spring ploughing has passed, the fields still have to be taken care of often, and there is no time to dig any ditches."

There are many voices of opposition, but there are also many voices of agreement, and each side accounts for half of them.

In this case, Quan Gang definitely can't be arbitrary, and he doesn't have the conditions to be arbitrary, so he investigated and found a fact, all those who agreed to dig ditches were those whose fields were far away from the Qingyuan River, and those who did not agree were those whose fields were closer to the Qingyuan River.

If you are far away, it is usually difficult to get water, so you want to dig a ditch, and if you are close, it is easy to get water, and of course you don't want to have nothing to do.

Quan Gang can't help it, then he must do persuasion work, he ran from house to house, telling about the benefits of digging ditches, so that everyone should take care of the overall situation, and also made sense of some people, but some people still don't agree, anyway, they just don't do it.

A few days later, Quan Gang was exhausted, and he felt that his brother was really not good at being a brother, the key was that he was not good at grasping the scale, he couldn't be strict, and it didn't seem to work if he was relaxed, which made Quan Gang very confused, confused about what he should do?

In the end, Quan Gang came to Tiejiabao and found Liu Dalu.

"That's it?"

"Well, Dragon King, what do you say students should do?"

"Well, did I ask you to organize people to dig ditches?"

"The Dragon King said it."

"Then when I never mentioned it, in your own opinion, you think that ditches have many benefits, easy access to water, flood prevention and drought resistance, right?"

Quan Gang nodded: "Yes." ”

"What about the downside, have you thought about it?"

"Is there a downside?"

"You organized people to dig ditches, delayed farming, and it took a long time, didn't you think about it?"

"But these are nothing compared to the benefits?" Quan Gang shouted, very aggrieved.

"Well, I know, a lot of people do, but why don't those people want to dig it?"

"It's not like some people don't think they're getting the benefits." Quan Gang was a little indignant.

Liu Dalu laughed: "Actually, it's good." ”

"Huh? Could it be that the dragon king also thinks that the students are doing something wrong? ”

"No, I don't think you're doing anything wrong, but I don't think those people are doing anything wrong, from your point of view, you think you're thinking about everyone, and from the point of view of those people, they're thinking about themselves, it's not wrong."

"That..."All Gang is confused, who is right? What's the matter?

"This is what you should think about, you have to think about it, this is also the meaning of me letting you go to the county to manage those people, in the end where you will take Qingping County, it is all up to you, by the way, I will remind you again."

Quan Gang pricked up his ears.

"Put down your body, empathize, okay, you can go back."
