Chapter 91: Nonsense
Although Lao Du's words are a little extreme, but I have to say that he said that Liu Xu's heart went inside, Liu Xu didn't hide it at all when he went, swaggering along the way, Yang Guang's boat in Jiangnan is very gorgeous, then Liu Xu will make it more gorgeous, the specifications and height may not be comparable, but the luxury is not bad at all, all the silk, there are clusters of flowers embroidered with gold thread, dancing maids, dancing on the boat, like fairies, the breeze blows the curtains, and the scene of staggering is very lively.
The outside of the paper armor is painted with golden lacquer, it looks like a god descending from heaven, very powerful, but the body is dressed, it gives people a feeling of nouveau riche, the golden armor sometimes describes the god of war, but more often, it is money!
When the Hou Ye arrived at his fiefdom, the first thing was to do something, of course, to build a house, the Hou Mansion to be repaired, but the Baling City Tower, also to be repaired again, it is said that this is the military parade building during the Three Kingdoms period, but Liu Xu doesn't care, he only knows that it is called Yueyang Tower!
What kind of performance is it for people to be stupid and have a lot of money, that is, to buy bricks, not to like new bricks, to like old, old, to say that such bricks look like a simple feeling, to echo their own temperament, to dismantle their own bricks to sell, that's not good, so what to dismantle? The city wall is a good thing, the glutinous rice stained city wall, can not withstand the hammer at all, as long as there is a hole, it is a piece of you today, and a piece of me tomorrow. Seeing that the city tower could no longer support it, Liu Xu sent military guards to smash the city wall.
There is too much silt in the moat, it smells and dirty, what to do, then dig the river, the upstream is blocked, after the diversion, the downstream begins to dig, the bricks of the city wall that have been knocked down are used to build the river bank, the silt is dug out, it is used to burn bricks, and in the end, the river bank is built, and it is found that the city wall has almost fallen.
The broken city wall is not good-looking, so it is simply pushed all to build bridges, so on the moat, there are eight more bridges, all arch bridges, very good-looking.
The sea boats built by Li Xiaogong were docked on the top of Dongting Lake, and sometimes they would attack the bandits who came to harass them, but they would not pursue them too far, pointing at the noses of the bandits and scolding the poor ghosts, and they would not bother to pay attention to you.
Although the guards were patrolling, it gave people a lazy feeling, and the common people did not care about this, and when the seeds of spring were planted, they all came to the Hou Mansion that had been built. The days of green and yellow are the most difficult, but there are many things in the Hou Mansion, there is gruel to drink, and even, there are a few meat flowers floating in it, and when you eat it, it is very fragrant.
The people are all happy, but the officials in Yuezhou are swinging their legs, and they don't know how many letters they have gone to, but it seems that there is still no reaction in the court, Liu Xu is messing around in Yuezhou, since ancient times, only those who built cities, where are the city walls demolished? Where water bandits and bandits are rampant, without the city wall, it is equivalent to putting your head on the edge of the knife at any time.
"Don't care about agriculture and mulberry, don't care about water conservancy, just build roads, this is disgusting people and thieves are not fast enough! I thought that having 2,000 strong soldiers would be powerful, but which of the bandits in these three mountains and eighteen villages was worse? After destroying a few nests, you will be overjoyed, and you don't know if people are testing your reality and reality! It's good now, it's not enough to tear down the city walls, even the houses in the city are starting to be demolished! God, I don't dare to stay here anymore, as soon as His Majesty's holy decree comes, I will leave immediately, I just hope that there will be some soon, the old man has already seen several groups of people observing the situation in the water camp, and if he doesn't leave, if the 100,000 water bandits are united, then this is a cemetery! ”
A group of officials scolded the concubine for misleading the country and the like, their hair was gray, if Liu Xu chose to strengthen the city wall first, they would all be happy, but they instigated the people to tear down the city wall, they saw it for the first time, and they didn't recruit any soldiers, and they didn't see the training of soldiers, except for building ships all day long, it was to repair roads, and now it has been changed to building houses, God, is it useful to repair it well? Do you really think those bandits will be afraid of the imperial court? People are just waiting for you to repair it, repair the road, and then come and grab it!
Yan Gao was also asking Liu Xu about this question, the excerpt for the emperor had already gone up, and there were only a few words for the approval, and everything was subject to Liu Xu's command.
Is Yan Gao afraid of death? That will definitely not be afraid, the people in the Hundred Cavalry Division are not afraid of death, but this game of chess played by the emperor and the Marquis of Yueyang really made him confused, what is this doing?
"How many days does Li Ke have to arrive?"
Liu Xu pointed to the map, very comfortable, without a sense of fear, Yan Gao sighed.
"It's time to arrive tomorrow, Liu Hou, the King of Shu is coming, at most bring a few secret guards, but there is news from the Lijing Gate, the water bandits are already ready to move, what is the use of those secret guards? We only have 3,000 soldiers and horses combined, and the water bandits are tens of thousands, so when the time comes, they will rush to Yuezhou together, how to resist? The moat is twice as wide, but the city wall is gone, and the water bandits are eating water, do you think they will be afraid of this? ”
Yan Gao was stamping his feet, Liu Xu was still very calm, he laughed, ignored it, shouted Qingzhu at the top of his voice, and then pointed at Yan Gao, signaling that you can go out.
Yan Gao was helpless, and when he passed by Qingzhu face to face, he took a special look, and then ran out tigerly, he wanted to supervise the shipbuilding, as long as the big ship was built, even if he didn't fight, he could run!
"Master Hou, the people are now building houses outside the city, the merchants in the city, because they are afraid of the water bandits, have already run almost, and Chang'an has also been contacted, and now Xiao Wu and Yun Yan are selling the land, and the merchants and Xungui are about the same, but now they are only half sold."
Liu Xu nodded, that's pretty much it, it's already very good to be able to sell half of it, if it weren't for Xiao Wu helping to fool around in Chang'an, Liu Xu felt that half of it was hanging.
"It's okay, the first batch is always difficult to shoot, although there is a house in front of the academy, but Yuezhou is too far away, and the businessmen dare to buy it, because they are gambling, it is rare to fight a few times in life, first come, first served, when my city is built, I will buy it again, hum!"
Qingzhu put away the planning map and put another map on it. The red lines on it are staggered, the strongholds are dense, Liu Xu looked at this picture, and he was a little happy, these are big deals, what is the most valuable in ancient times, people, as long as there are people, anything is easy to do! The fine work among the water bandits has long been sent out, they may not be able to do too much, but it is no problem to engage in some internal contradictions, there are too many houses in the city, and there are few good houses, it is uncomfortable to keep them, and it is very troublesome to dismantle, so these are what Liu Xu left to the bandits, and the houses built are built around the Hou Mansion, and in other places, Liu Xu looked at the bamboo joints erected in the warehouse, and his heart was very comfortable, but he was a little worried, so much gunpowder exploded together, will it cause an earthquake?
