Chapter 114: Engaging in Real Estate
The imperial court revoked the wanted warrant against Gao Shide, but now Gao Shide no longer has any hope for the Northern Song court.
I think I still remember the polite prince. No, once this person becomes an emperor, the change is too fast. Is there still a need for a cowardly court? Gao Shide was very entangled during this time.
The follow-up Jin soldiers calmly retreated, and the original meritorious minister, Li Gang, was dismissed. The planter was critically ill, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty made a miasma. Gao Shide's heart is completely dead, forget it, just live here in peace.
The mind has been decided, and a military order will go down. The whole army was disbanded, and what to do was what it wanted.
When the original 2,840 soldiers heard the news, they panicked like thunder in the sky. Fortunately, Gao Shide is here, and the situation can be stabilized for the time being.
"General, don't abandon us and others." Nearly half of the veterans fell to their knees on their stomachs, bursting into tears and speaking in unison.
Most of them, Gao Shide recognized, these veterans were all veterans who fought with him in Jiangnan and had a life-and-death friendship.
In addition to them, a small number of local soldiers did not leave, and there were 1,736 people left.
Among them, there are thieves who once abandoned the darkness and turned to the light in Liangshan, and there are also children from the Jiangnan area.
"Brothers are now living and dying, so I am not hypocritical. Now the golden soldiers are raging, killing my wife and children, humiliating my sisters, burning, killing and looting, and the people are suffering. And Song Ting didn't think about protecting the country and the people this time, but instead bent on the criminal Jin Bing. As the saying goes, if there is one, there are two, and if there are two, there are three. That Jin Bing tasted the sweetness this time, and he will definitely go south next time. In this way, how can I have a place where the people of the Great Song Dynasty can live in peace. To put it mildly, I have long been disheartened by this Song Ting. originally wanted to end his life here, but he was unwilling, and he didn't want to see the next time Jin Bing went south, and his lives were ruined. At this point, I want to set up a flag to recruit the public, and to bring peace to the people of my Great Song Dynasty. Gao Shide's speech is still quite effective.
Now there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt, and if you want to achieve a career, in today's era, it is nothing more than falling into the grass, and there is no other way.
It is the so-called accumulation of grain, slow to become king. This is also something that Gao Shide can only do now, after all, this is also a way that has no way. However, this method may still be promising in peacetime, but now the Jin soldiers will make a comeback soon. The difficulty of Jingkang, the history books only record its reasons. But they did not know that the corpses were all over the field, and the people were wailing.
said that for the time being, he was powerless for the second time when the Jin soldiers went south and broke out in the Jingkang disaster. I found a remote place around Kaifeng and made a nondescript cottage. Why do you say that it doesn't matter? This is not to blame Kaifeng is located in the plain, and there are no more famous mountains around. So Huh, Gao Shide can only find a place with relatively high terrain that is easy to be ignored to operate.
Although the intention was to occupy the mountain as king, after all, this is near Kyoto, so it is not suitable to be too high-profile. Therefore, the deeds of bandits and bandits are not suitable for their livelihood at this moment. But no matter how people say it, there are also about 2,000, so you can't stop eating or drinking. For this reason, Gao Shide is also a little worried, fortunately, in the current situation, he took out a sum of money from his family to subsidize, although it is not long-term, but how to say that it is not a problem to insist on ten days and half a month.
However, the one-eyed dragon and the others, who went out to find out the news, came back and made a good suggestion. Although the Jin soldiers have retreated now, they have experienced war after all. Many houses have been destroyed by the fighting, and many people have been displaced. Even the big families came out to recruit workers and repair their houses.
Despite this, Gao Shide was not happy at all. Look at the brothers on his side who originally accompanied him in the bloody battle, he originally wanted to be added to the rank and knighted, and glorify the ancestors. But they didn't meet, and now not only can they not be soldiers, but they have also become masons.
However, after the news spread, those soldiers were elated. One by one, the current low morale was swept away, except for a few serious injuries that had not healed, and they all took the lead.
This made Gao Shide a little confused, and looked at the group of soldiers below who were almost crazy. They are not to blame for this, who said that because of Gao Shide's whim, they were all dismissed from the military. Later, Gao Shide's wanted warrant was removed, and their military status was not restored. However, in this ancient feudal society, there is an old saying that goes, "A good man should not be a soldier." ”
Those who serve as soldiers are either forced to be helpless, or their families are so poor that they jingle bells. It can really be said that it is a very small number of people who are enthusiastic about embracing the country. Moreover, once they enter the army, they are military for life, and many teenagers join the army, guarding the frontier all year round, and they have no way to return home until they are old. It can be seen that this mason had a very high social status at that time. How much this is also a craft in the future, and in ancient times, craftsmen could be regarded as having the means to support their families.
So, just do it. Gao Shide formed an engineering brigade of more than 1,000 people. According to the modern simplification of military management, a squad of ten people, a company of 100 people, and a battalion of 1,000 people.
The next day, there were propaganda teams sent out by Gao Shide in the streets and alleys of Kaifeng Mansion, shouting loud slogans all over Kaifeng.
"A hundred years of foundation, a thousand years of inheritance. Gao's architecture is immortal. This unprecedented publicity, Gao Shide immediately had more work on hand, and received more than 100 orders before and after. In ancient times, there was no cement, and the houses built by the common people were made of loess straw and soy milk. The Great Wall was also built in this way, with stones as the foundation, as stable as Mount Tai.
Of course, Gao Shide also has innovation, that is, burning red bricks. This is due to the fact that before Gao Shide crossed, there was a red brick factory next to his hometown in the countryside. I used to go there to work and help, and I know the production process very well. After a few simple experiments, it is possible to burn a strong and durable red brick. After all, this thing doesn't need much technical content, and the red bricks burned are much larger than modern red bricks, but Gao Shide saved a lot of time when he built the house.
As for the most technical capping, Goldshide uses a wooden beam structure. After all, this is the most commonly used technology in ancient times, and it is first overhead with the main beam. Then cover it with wooden planks, but if it rains, the house will be too noisy.
Gao Shide thought of another plan, just like the composite panels used in the countryside now, with wooden planks stacked on top of each other, and straw filled in the middle, which has a certain sound insulation effect. There is no need to add tiles to the house, which reduces the cost and time at once. In order to facilitate the drainage of rainwater, the traditional triangular structure of the roof is also used for the ceiling with wooden planks. This is sturdy and durable, so there will be no strong winds blowing off the roof.
Such a house is of good quality and inexpensive, and it is immediately popular. With financial resources, Gao Shide also began to secretly lay out.
