The problem of explosives is easy to solve, and the black powder itself can be used as explosives, and the ratio only needs to be adjusted slightly. The Huangzhou Forbidden Army also had its own gunpowder workshop, and although the finished products they made could only be used for smoking, the raw materials were the same.

The manpower problem is not easy to solve, and what Huangzhou lacks most is people. It is really unreliable to expect the Tibetan people who have no fixed place to do hard labor, and they are not good at being construction workers, even if they are caught, they have to flee all day long, which is not enough to send troops to watch, and it costs too much.

Bing, this word gave Hong Tao a lot of inspiration. Who has the most people in Huangzhou? It is soldiers, 3,000 forbidden troops, more than 2,000 van troops, and a full 6,000 people, most of whom are idle, spending food in vain but contributing nothing.

As long as there is a suitable policy and the land is allocated to the Tibetan people, they can still reclaim it, and they are more enthusiastic about it.

Because the new governor said that whoever reclaimed the land would go to whomever he wanted, and only one-third of the land should be handed over as government taxes. This condition is very reasonable and moving, and no one will be unhappy about opening up the land for their own home.

Since all the work in Tuntian has been done, and they are rushing to do it, what are these thousands of idle forbidden soldiers and servants doing? Hong Tao found them a job, let's build a road.

It is easy to say that they are originally engineers, and they have to do whatever they want, and they have no qualifications to talk about conditions. But the forbidden army is a combat force, and the hands with swords and bows are playing with sledgehammers and iron hammers, can they be happy?

Of course I didn't like it, but no one dared to mention it. The bodies of more than 30 officers have not yet been completely dried, and every time you go out of the city and enter the city, you can see those familiar and unfamiliar faces. Now that the Killer Demon King said that he would let everyone build roads, whoever dares to say half a word will probably become thirty-three.

It is better to build the road and give food, and it is for three meals, and there is meat for one meal and wine for three days, which is fair to say better than the food during the war. If you hang it on a wooden pole, you won't be able to eat anything, and anyone will be able to calculate this account.

So the 2,000 forbidden troops and the box soldiers became the first batch of road builders, led by Huang Huai'an to enter the two construction sites of Nanzong Fort and Gugulong City, one south and one north, and began to compete with the big stones.

This is only Hong Tao's first plan, and after the amount of new black powder is sufficient, there will be a thousand forbidden troops and vans to join. Basically, in addition to the basic strength to maintain the function of each walled fort, the idle forbidden troops and box servants all had to go to the construction site to smash stones. There is no need to go together, then you have to take turns to fight, and the days of eating and drinking and hanging out are gone forever.

"Then when will it be built from Huangzhou to Nanzongbao?" The crown is now a full-time transport team, and his understanding of the road must be deeper than that of ordinary people, and he is also in favor of this decision of the colt, but he feels that it is slightly more difficult. You can't just fix the front section and the back, you have to fix it early and late.

"This section of the road has been walked by the official himself, from the north of Huangzhou City to the south of Zongbao there is a cheese river accompanied, the right bank of the river is gentle, our four-wheeled box truck can pass through the light load, at most on a few ravines with huge wood bridges, here there is no shortage of large wood.

In winter, it is even more convenient, the river is extremely strong and smooth after freezing, and the cork on the iron wheels of the box car can be non-slip, which is a natural official road. When the official solves the matter of the Xia people building the city, it is not too late to free up his hands to slowly build this road.

Not only will this section of the road be repaired, but an official road will also be built between Huangzhou City and Tongchuan Fort, which will make it much easier for your convoy to travel. ”

Hong Tao naturally won't lie to himself, since he has a plan, it must work, which is another gain for him to travel with the camel caravan. I have seen it with my own eyes, walked through it, and I don't need to ask any experts to know it.

"My lord is really worthy of being the reincarnation of the Seven Stars, but he can know thousands of miles away in Kaifeng, and he admires him very much!" This design made the crown, who had always been not very optimistic about the pony's trip, couldn't help but admire.

People have to die more than people, and he can't think of being so careful and thoughtful as an officer, but the horse is like a divine help, and every step is so solid that he can't be admired without admiration.

Why is this happening, the crown also has a reasonable explanation, the matter of the Seven Stars in the same palace has long been spread along with the rumors of the Heavenly Evil Star, and this is the best reason.

"Hahaha...... Unexpectedly, this official not only won the infamy, but also had such an evaluation, which is not a loss. Listening to the words of the crown, Hong Tao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, this time it was a real laugh, happy.

Originally, I couldn't explain the things, but I was actually rounded up by Wang Datou and their gods, if it was circulated for a few more years, it would become a fact, and I had to believe it together even if I knew it was false, which was really beneficial to myself.

"Your Excellency still needs to make some gains before the battle, then it really responds to the saying of the Seven Stars in the same palace." The crown didn't quite believe this rumor, because he had been in contact with the colt for a long time, and had heard of what the colt had done before.

"Then wait for the good news of this official in Weiqiao Town, before the arrival of the New Year, the city built by the Xia people and their people will be wiped out by the Heavenly Evil Star. Remember, it's smoothing, even a piece of ruins and broken walls will be counted as my loss, do you dare to use a sea ship of your Wang family to make this bet with this official? ”

Hong Tao is not afraid of doubts, after such a toss by himself, now no one around him is willing to bet with him, he doesn't gamble on a glass of wine, it just so happens that the crown is coming, let's enjoy him.

"How can this kind of ghost and god talk scare my Wang, gamble on it. If it is really as the adults say, the crown is willing to pay for the construction of a new big ship! "The crown is still not calm enough, and the gambling nature cultivated in Jin Mingchi is also a bit heavy, and he can't help Hong Tao's flickering, and he gritted his back molars to fight.

In his opinion, it is very possible that the horse can win against the Xia people, not to mention anything else, those rockets alone are enough for the Xia people. Before you know this new weapon, whoever encounters it will be unlucky, and let yourself be the coach will win more and lose less.

But the horse is a bit too big, and the city is smoothed out with people. It's the Xia people's territory over there, and it's definitely no problem to run away if you win, but if you win, you have to demolish the city in the same place, is this taking the Xia people as fools, or taking the Song people as fools?

"Hey, you can pay for it, but I must preside over the shipbuilding business, and I have the final say on what to build and how big it is." Hong Tao had a little objection to the bet, he had to stipulate the size of the boat, otherwise he would build a small fishing boat for himself, and it would be a loss.

"A gentleman's word!" The crown gained more confidence from the sinister smile on the horse's face, this man who bragged everywhere when he had nothing to do, and who to scare with a master who said two!

"It's hard to chase a horse!" Hong Tao was also unambiguous, reaching out to high-five the crown as an oath, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the back molars. Although the ship will not be able to hold it for a while, the crown can be regarded as a trap for himself.

Song people are still relatively reliable in terms of integrity, and they generally do not regret it after swearing, especially gambling debts. If anyone relies on this, people with a little bit of face will not be able to mix, and they will be scolded for the rest of their lives.

"General Wang has traveled thousands of miles to get here, but it's a pity that he was a little reckless, and a big ship is gone, it's a pity." At this time, an old man walked out of the room behind Hong Tao. He may have heard the conversation between the two men and then criticized the crown's behavior.

"Okay, you're a big king, when you see this official, you will say frustrating words, see if I don't ...... Big head, the rumors outside are true, you have ...... hand"

This person's crown is not only known, but also very familiar, basically wants to have a good set of armor, a good knife, and the generals who have been in Weiqiao Town are familiar with him, without his consent, your fart armor and treasure knife can't be touched.

But when he stepped forward and slapped the other party on the shoulder, he suddenly found that the other party's right arm was hanging, and one right hand was hanging on his chest.

"It doesn't matter, the official said, I am an engineer, and I no longer rely on my craft but on my brain. Besides, the person who cut my hand is now hanging outside the north gate to dry the jerky, and it's not worth one hand for an old man? Official, the little one wants to take General Wang to see the new axle, I don't know if you still have orders. Wang Datou had a crippled right hand, a hand that he relied on for a living, but he was not too depressed, and seemed to be more energetic.

This is really not his optimistic nature, when he knew that his hand was useless, he was also discouraged, and he didn't eat much for several days. However, the pony's words made him no longer dare to think about it, and he longed to eat four meals a day, always wanting to live one more day.
