When Yumen and them left, there were some changes, although the wind and sand were still there, but there was a little more anger. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Standing on a tall rock, Su Ren pointed at the Gobi, desert, rocks, soil, trees, and animals in front of him, and sometimes he would make special speeches, and the head of the story was vivid.

Ying Guangji sat on the ground and rolled his eyes: "Is crazy enough?" said that we would drink together and watch the sunset, your mouth has not stopped since you came up, and Brother Jing is gone! ”

Su Ren crossed his hands on his hips: "Standing in this place without pointing out can not show the domineering of you and me, one is a former royal family, and the other is a current general, don't you feel ashamed to drink and watch the sunrise?" Brother Jing left because he was ashamed! ”

Ying Guangji stood up and patted the soil on his buttocks: "Okay, you're ashamed, I'll leave too!" Next time you're calling me Hugh blame me for refusing! ”

Su Ren hurriedly ran over to stop Ying Guangji: "Anyway, he is also a god king, why do you have no self-cultivation at all, how can you lead your people in the future?" Look, how beautiful this sunset is, half of the remnant sun and half of the blood, this is the scenery of the Gobi Desert, the yellow sand in the sky with the remnant sun and wine is a great fun thing in life, Brother Jing is a rough man he doesn't understand, and you and I can appreciate one or two. ”

Ying Guangji smiled and glanced at Su Ren: "Say it?" What is there to ask of me? Let's start with it, my people can't be used in vain, and the salary is very expensive! ”

The God King laughed! Now the Huns have been persuaded by me, the people of the Western Regions have been subdued by me, and the Qiang people have been tied with profits, and it is a happy thing for everyone to build a city in this place, what difficulties do you need your help? What's more, your people are all on the plateau, and even if you want to come down, you have to wait until the snow melts completely, and it's winter here, so you can't work. ”

"Are you really okay?" Win Guangji didn't believe Su Ren's words.

Su Ren shook his head. Win Guangji said: "Okay, let's watch the sunset and drink, and don't talk about anything else!" ”

"Very good!"

"!"

Su Ren doesn't like wine, although this thing is more expensive than his second pot head, because this thing is not wine at all, it is more sour than vinegar, and the root of the tongue will become numb when you drink it, let alone taste any wine. But today, Su Ren drank very happily, cup after cup, and he couldn't speak clearly, and he still drank with Ying Guangji.

The sun had already set, and the wind on the Gobi Desert had risen again. The wind was stronger on the top of the mountain, and the people who blew it could not stand steadily. Su Ren staggered and was supported by Huang Shisan and Manniu: "Win Gongzi has a good amount of alcohol, he is not drunk after drinking so much!" ”

"Isn't Brother Su also drunk? You still have to drink Brother Su's second pot head to drink, this kind of wine that people in the Western Regions drink is not very good! "Ying Guangji also drank a lot, and his speech was a little slurred.

Su Ren said with a smile: "Today is the happiest day to come to the Western Regions, and from tomorrow the construction of Yumen City will really begin, so Young Master Ying has no idea of preparing to join in this city?" ”

Ying Guangji followed Su Ren and smiled: "To be honest, right? If you want to borrow money, just say it, don't beat around the bush like this! Yumen is a good place, stuck in the throat of Ganliang Dao, as long as you can completely eradicate the Qiang people, the people of the Western Regions will no longer be a threat! However, with so many eyes staring at such a city, I am worried that Brother Su will become someone else's bag after it is built. ”

"Win Gongzi is so unoptimistic about me? I haven't done much else for so many years, I only did two things, the first Jiangsu City, the second Mayi City, and the third is Yumen City, and when I get old in the future, when I return to Wenshui, I am ready to build a Wenshui City, which is worthy of the Han Dynasty and my ancestors! ”

Ying Guangji said: "Brother Su wants to use these four cities to protect the foundation of the Han Dynasty? ”

Su Ren waved his hand: "Wanshi Foundation? Starting from Yao Shun, has Win Gongzi heard of any eternal inheritance? Don't talk about it far away, just take your Daqin ......, hehe, forget it! Don't say it! There is no eternal inheritance in this world, and in a wise and martial emperor, who can guarantee that his children and grandchildren will be wise and martial? I'm afraid there will be more losers! The purpose of my construction of the city is to hope that those losers will be defeated for a few more generations. ”

Ying Guangji took a deep breath and bowed to Su Ren: "Brother Su is righteous!" Liu Che has a friend like you, why not worry about eternity! ”

"We're friends, aren't we?"

Ying Guangji smiled: "Sort of!" Say, what the hell do you want me to do? ”

Su Ren took two steps forward, lying in Ying Guangji's ear and muttering for a long time, Ying Guangji frowned for a while, incredulous for a while, puzzled for a while, and laughed slightly for a while. Su Ren kept saying that the expression on Ying Guangji's face changed and changed.

After Su Ren finished speaking, he got up: "Brother Jing has already gone to prepare, so please ask Gongzi Ying to move quickly!" ”

Ying Guangji shook his head: "I'm afraid this kind of most inhuman thing is probably only you can come up with, but this God King likes it!" Okay, I'm seventy percent! ”

Su Ren nodded: "That's nature!" ”

Ying Guangji turned around and left, took two steps and turned around: "I felt something was wrong just now, but now I think about it, everything is ours, what are you doing?" Why do you want to account for 30%? ”

Su Ren laughed: "I came up with the idea, if something happens, you can push it on my head, it doesn't matter much?" We are isolated here, and the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe, does Ying Gongzi think that this condition cannot account for 30%? ”

The construction of Yumen City began, and it was very difficult to build a city on the Gobi stall. The foundation is very easy to manage, and the Gobi Desert, which is already arid, is originally made of stones, and it is very strong without digging. When there was a problem with the city wall, the place Su Ren chose was close to the mountains, so the construction of the city was completely according to the mountain. The land was barren, and there were no large stones suitable for building a city, no lime for bonding, and no inexhaustible black stone. It is only a goose warm stone the size of a head, and it is tantamount to a fantasy to build a city with this thing.

There are no stones and no dirt, just sand with different grains. Originally, this was a good material, but unfortunately there was no such thing as cement, so I could only look at the sand and sigh. Someone proposed to transport stones from the mountains, but after the old king's calculations, this method was not feasible, if the stones were transported from the mountains, all their funds would be spent on manpower, and only half of the city could be built.

The construction site was still in full swing, and Su Ren's room was also fried into a pot of porridge. Several of the craftsmen brought from Dahan were all from Lingnan with Su Ren, including Luo Datou's father, Lao Luo. After following Su Ren for so many years, Lao Luo has changed from the original craftsman who was only a promise to half an engineer, and he is basically in charge of the construction of Yumen City.

Rolling up his sleeves and knocking on the map, Lao Luo spat and flew: "Sir, you can't build a city without stones!" Even if we build it now, it will be useless, since there is no way to stop the enemy's attack, there is no difference between wanting a city and not wanting a city, why bother! In my opinion, let's retreat two hundred miles, the gourd valley where Ganliang Road is interrupted is a good place, and it is a city at both ends, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack! ”

Zhang Qian waved his hand and said: "No, Yumen is an important land, it is the gateway to the Xiongnu, the Western Regions and the Qiang Land, only the card master here, can cut off the Huns and the people of the Western Regions, although the gourd valley is good, it is too far, it can't play any role, where to build the city, once the war starts, we can only be beaten passively!" ”

"But how can you build a city without stones, sand or wood? Even if the trees on the surrounding mountains are cut down, there is no way to build a city! Lao Luo was very disdainful of Zhang Qian, a layman.

Su Ren hurriedly waved his hand: "Trees must not be cut, not only can they not be cut but also planted, if there are no these trees, even if we build a city, it will be buried in sand in a few years!" Yesterday I went around the city, although I didn't see any big stones, there are still a lot of small stones, can you ......? ”

Lao Luo's head shook like a rattle: "I also saw the stones that Mr. said, they are too small, using them to build a city is similar to building a pigsty, and when they fight, they will scatter when they collide, no different from sand!" ”

"Then think of a way to keep going, such as using an iron cage, how about it?"

"Iron cage?" Lao Luo's eyes lit up. Zhang Qian was also taken aback, and the two glanced at each other. Su Ren continued: "Isn't building a city just a big stone? One is stable and the other is the weight, with an iron cage to pack a lot of small stones together, I think it is similar to the big stones, but these iron cages are easy to rust in the wind and sun, so the outside must be smoothed with grass and wood ash, I thought about using the iron cage is 350,000 catties of iron, we don't need any good iron, we can make a cage, the weapons of the rebels in Shanshan are melted almost the same, the blacksmith can hire the locals, what do you think? ”

Lao Luo thought for a while: "You can try this!" ”

"Then try, it's better than we can't discuss it! As long as you move, you are not afraid of mistakes, and if you don't do it, let alone the city, you can't build a wooden house! ”

That evening, the newly built blacksmith's furnace began to work. Su Ren didn't know how to get the strip steel, and watched those blacksmiths from the Western Regions pour the melted molten iron into the mold, and it quickly turned into iron bars. Although the thickness is uneven and relatively brittle, it is enough to make an iron cage. Rivet link, dozens of slender iron bars were fixed together, and the small stones that people picked up were loaded into it, Su Ren shook it twice, and said with a smile: "It looks good!" Start tomorrow! ”

The gantry crane was brought by the Han people, and when those people from the Western Regions watched the Han people use a few logs to lift the huge iron cage full of ten pieces high, they were full of surprise and admiration, which made Lao Luo very proud. The first cage was not securely placed where it should be, and mud was poured into it to make the stones stick to each other. Naturally, someone smoothed the outside of the iron cage with grass and wood ash, and from a distance, a thick city wall was erected in front of you.

Lao Luo was very satisfied, and after a while, along the sleepers on the ground, dozens of strong men dragged and dragged them, and another huge iron cage was pushed over, lifted again, and placed next to the iron cage, and a series of movements were very coordinated. No one doubts about building a city with such a thing, and all that remains is the repetitive action of producing iron cages and picking up stones to build up.
