Chapter 650 Construction

At the beginning of autumn, Gao Shun and others arrived in Anhui County, and Ma Gui was still on the way.

Gao Shun temporarily lived in Anhui City, and appointed Zhou Fei as the Taishou of Yuzhang County, Cao Shan as the Taishou of Luling County, and Qinguan as the Taishou of Xin'an County; Chaisang and other five counties are Lushan County, the county is governed in Chaisang City, and Taishou is Fangliang; Each took 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry.

The four counties of Jiangbei are Anqing County, and the county is temporarily in Wancheng, and the Taishou is proud.

Fortunately, the local officials have received the imperial decree, and the handover is more convenient; All county officials were replaced by system officials, and the military and political affairs of the five counties were quickly controlled.

The formation of a merchant fleet and a naval army, the governor of the capital is still Gao Wei, who is responsible for the expansion of Chungu County, Zongyang County, Xunyang County, Qichun County and Nanchang and other wharves along the river, so as to facilitate the transportation and trade of materials within the territory.

Gao Shun let the five of them temporarily serve as Taishou, which is also an expedient measure, and after stabilization, let them live for the rest of their lives.

As for the most important thing about the escalation of everyone, Gao Shun's reply to them was that the territory was still slowly increasing, and it would definitely be upgraded within the year.

First of all, the establishment of Hulingyi (now the east of Taihu County) and Songzi County (now Songliuxi Township) between Anhui County and Xunyang County was restored, and Tongguan Town was set up in Xin'an County to set up Tongguan County (Tongling in later generations, when the copper mining industry was very developed), to accommodate those officers and soldiers who were injured and could not continue to serve in the army; Honeung-eup was changed to Honeung-gun.

Each officer and soldier could choose a young woman as his wife, a young woman as his servant, and two male slaves as his wife, and two male slaves to work for him, and he was allocated 200 acres of arable land.

For every ten wounded soldiers, plus one high-ranking infantry in good health, they form a first armor, and each armor is issued with a ploughing ox or a horse; Every ten villages are one village, and ten to twenty villages are one township; The main task of the chief, the village chief, and the village chief was to serve the wounded soldiers and assist in keeping an eye on the Xianbei slaves and servants.

set up a medical worker in each village to serve the wounded; free treatment for the wounded for life; Each county has three medical craftsmen and fifteen medical workers, which is a medical hall.

The wounded soldier received a monthly allowance of two cents, and 200 acres of arable land were exempt from tax until the death of the wounded soldier, after which the cultivated land could be inherited by the descendants but required to pay taxes.

Each township sent 3,000 officers and soldiers and 1,000 craftsmen to assist in the construction of homes, and at least one courtyard house was built for each report.

The slaves who were assigned were also to be engaged in construction tasks.

The next task is to build Anqing City, the location of Anqing City in the later generations, north of Dalong Mountain, south of the Yangtze River; And set up a big dragon pass in the north of the city.

The officers and soldiers of the system and Li Qiang and others were responsible for the construction of Anqing City and Dalongguan; Hire people to build a road from Anhui County to Dalongguan.

Dalongguan is the Jixian Pass of later generations, which is the northern gateway of Anqing City; Dalong Township is set up outside the pass, as the warning point of Dalong Pass.

Sun Cheng was sent to Dabie Mountain to clean up the Shanyue people, and to inspect the topography of Tianzhu Mountain to prepare for the construction of the Tianzhu Mountain Palace Group.

Feng Yong went to inspect Lushan and also prepared for the later construction.

Gao Shun sprinkled a large amount of money and grain, and the five counties carried out large-scale civil construction, which led to the development of the local area.

In the next year, Gao Shun and Li Qiang were busy with the construction of Anqing City.

Anqing city is built very huge, the side length is ten miles, each side is set up with three gates, the height of the ground is seven zhang, the foundation is dug three zhang, the moat is twenty zhang wide, two zhang deep.

The location of Gaoshun Palace is in the middle of the city to the north, and outside the gate is the main road of east and west, leading to the east and west gates; The side length of the palace is two miles.

On the north side of the east-west avenue in the middle, on the east and west sides of the Gaoshun Palace, three residences are built each; Three residential buildings will be built on the east and west sides of Zhengnan Avenue; a total of 12 residences; The side length is more than half a mile; It is ready to be distributed to Li Qiang, Ma Gui and others to live.

The higher places in the northwest are granaries and military camps, and the eastern corners are county yamen and officials' residences; The southeast and southwest are all private houses and commercial streets, and there are soldiers and horses stationed to defend the city.

In the south and west of the city, there are warehouses and residential areas serving the wharf, so that there are a large number of settlements engaged in farming and breeding, and provide vegetables, meat, eggs, etc. for Anqing City.

The middle gates in the south and west of the city have wide stone avenues leading directly to the dock area, which is convenient for the transportation of materials.

In addition to the construction of Dalongguan in the north of the city, another small city is set up in the narrow place in the west of the city, which is Shannan City, as the western gateway of Anqing City; The big lake in the south of the city was named Nanhu, and the Anqing wharf was built and the canal to the Yangtze River was dug to ensure that when the city of Anqing was besieged, it could still be connected to the outside by waterway to ensure the entry of materials and reinforcements; And sent people to renovate and expand the county seat and wharf of Zongyang County as the eastern gateway of Anqing City.

In the southwest of Shannan City, the water of the Anhui River is diverted, injected into the newly dug West Lake (Qili Lake), and connected with the Yangtze River; Dig the East Lake in the east of the city, introduce the water of the Yangtze River, and collect many rivers on land into the lake; The two lakes serve as the east-west barrier of Anqing City.

The walls and embankments were made of boulders, which were so strong that Gao Shun believed that they would not be destroyed unless there were artillery pieces of more than a hundred calibers; The buildings in the castle were made of sturdy black bricks, and the palaces and houses were civil structures.

The soil excavated from the West and East Lakes was used to burn bricks and tiles.

At the same time, Gao Shun sent people to inspect Dalong Mountain in the north, set up defense facilities on the mountain, and built leisure places.

Anqing City is backed by mountains and waters, excellent feng shui, Li Qiang and others like it very much, it is not cold in winter, it is not hot in summer, it is very suitable for life and residence. Especially Li Qiang, he lived a long life, and this is the place where he lived for a long time after that, so he supervised the construction very carefully.

The reason why Gao Shun built Anqing City is that he is worried that one day, when the strength of the Han people is weakened, the nomads rise, and the Han people are forced to establish the Southern Dynasty, Anqing City can be used as the gateway of Nanjing City in the north of the Yangtze River, even if Xiangyang City is lost, as long as Anqing is not lost, it can also ensure that Nanjing is worry-free; If this is the case, at least half of the Han people can be saved and they will be given a chance to breathe.

Tongguan County in Xin'an County settled disabled soldiers, and at the same time sent a large number of male ** subordinates to engage in mining, smelting and other manual labor. Gao Shun remembers that in his previous life, it was called Tongling, known as the "copper capital", and copper mining has not been exhausted for thousands of years.

The remaining slaves were involved in heavy manual labor such as road maintenance and construction, construction of docks, dredging of rivers, protection of river embankments, and excavation of canals.

Three months later, the craftsmen who had gone to Lushan and Tianzhu Mountain to investigate returned and began to plan and design; Construction can only start after the construction plan has been approved.

After Ma Gui returned, Gao Shun set up a county in Chizhou in later generations to house the wounded and officers and soldiers; The barbarian slaves he brought back, Gao Shun still let them mainly build roads, and he planned to build mountain roads from Luling County to Guangzhou, Fujian County, and Qiantang County, and expand trade and influence on these places.

After several months of fighting, Qin Guan and Sun Cheng captured a large number of Shanyue people; Gao Shun ordered that the women should be given to the wounded officers and soldiers as wives or slaves, and all the men should be reduced to slaves.

Now that he is strong and powerful, there is no need to treat them as gently as before; Even if it is difficult to exterminate it for a while, it can be used by officers and soldiers to train their hands, so as to prevent officers and soldiers from becoming corrupted too quickly and losing their combat effectiveness, and they are a long-term stable source of slaves.

Gao Shun not only invested heavily in construction, which led to the prosperity of surrounding trade, but also quickly dispatched troops to attack and deter the Shanyue people, and the Shanyue people in Jiangdong and Jiangnan counties did not dare to make any changes; The emperor and the court officials were very excited, and solved a major problem for the court; The local people respect the legendary Gao Shun and his eleven guards like gods.
