Chapter 25: Moving to the Valley of the Gourd

On the afternoon of June 1, Gao Shun first moved his mother, sister, mother, and Xu Lin's sister Xu Ting to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Castle Lord's Mansion is like a small fortress, although it has not yet been completely completed, but it has begun to take shape, with a length of 150 meters from north to south and a width of 120 meters from east to west, and there are no other buildings within a few hundred meters of the outer part of the Castle Lord's Mansion.

It is surrounded by a wall up to 8 meters high and 2 meters wide, built according to the pattern of the city wall, and at the four corners are 10 meters high watchtowers, among which there are enemy towers; The Castle Lord's Mansion serves as the last barrier for the enemy to storm the castle.

The internal building is planned by Gao Shun with reference to the model of the county government in later generations, the backyard is the living area, there are wells, gardens, practice grounds, etc., and the residential area is subdivided into several quadrangles, each quadrangle is different in size, the main courtyard is 7 main houses, and the rest are 5 main houses or 3 main houses; The front yard is Gaoshun's office space, with a lobby, conference room, restaurant, etc., and the rest is a large vacant land, which will be built slowly in the future, and it will not affect the use now.

The material warehouse is also located in the castle lord's mansion.

Mother and sister were in the main courtyard, and Xu Ting was originally allowed to live alone in a small courtyard, but she didn't live with Gao Feng.

And Ge's mother was afraid of loneliness and didn't want to live alone, so the four of them lived in the main courtyard, the mother lived in the west suite of the main house, the mother lived in the east suite, and Gao Feng and Xu Ting lived in two rooms.

Since they were all female dependents, it was inconvenient for Gao Shun to live with them, so he chose a small courtyard to live in.

Ge Hu and Xu Lin, who came with them, were very satisfied with Gao Shun's arrangement, they were most concerned about their relatives now, and now that they were settled, they no longer had to worry about the future.

Ge Hu now rarely cares about anything other than practicing.

And Xu Lin was like an eventful child, shocked by the city built by Gao Shun, and after settling his sister, he first visited the city lord's mansion, and then rode around the valley on horseback, and did not return until Bibo Fort was blocked.

Just in the outer valley, there are large tracts of uncultivated fertile land, straight and smooth roads, comfortable and wide city lord's mansions, numerous street houses and small courtyards, as well as military barracks and training grounds, I really wonder when Gao Shun started to run this foundation.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Qiang and Ma Gui led the old village chiefs Gao Yuan and Gao Jian to visit the Hulu Valley first, focusing on the inner valley in the west of Bibobao.

In the inner valley first visited the cottage, according to Gao Shun's plan, by the old village chief as the three elders, Gao Jian as the wanderer, the village where the cottage is located is Bibo Village, in the middle of the inner valley, in the southeast, northwest and four directions each planned a village, has not yet started construction, but Bibo Village is enough for the existing population to live.

There is a 5-bay courtyard house in the east and west of the cottage, which is the same model as the cottage, and is prepared for the three elders and Youbi. The remaining houses are all 3 main houses, plus left and right wings, as well as kitchens and other supporting facilities, and even the sewers in the village are very wide, and the main road is also paved with stone slabs, which is connected to the avenue from Taniguchi to Lake Biba.

The two were shocked by the changes in Hulu Valley, they had been to Hulu Valley before, and they were no strangers to this place, but they didn't know when Gao Shun started building this place to have such a big change; These buildings alone cost a lot of money, all of them are stone bases, and the upper ones are blue bricks and gray tiles; The wide stone road and the majestic and sturdy city wall will not only cost a lot of money, but also the construction time will not be short; What is even more shocking is that the rocky beach has been transformed into fertile land, and the transportation of earth and stone is a huge project.

Since entering Taoyuan Castle, the two of them have been in a state of confusion.

Li Qiang was upright temper and said: "Don't be shocked first, let's see if you are satisfied with the cottage and the house of the two?" ”

"Haha, very satisfied, this is much better than my family." Gao Jian said very boldly.

Ma Gui said: "There are 50 small courtyards with 3 bays, but there are no courtyard walls yet, and everyone needs to build them by themselves. According to the general's orders, each person was given 10 acres of land, and if there were those who participated in the village protection team, each household would be given another 10 acres. ”

The old village chief asked, "Have you drilled a well?" ”

Ma Gui said: "There is one well in the southeast, northwest and northwest, which is enough for the village to draught and irrigate, and the water level is very shallow, which is very convenient, and the amount of water is large enough." ”

Li Qiang said: "The supporting facilities here are relatively complete, each home is equipped with 2 Hu beds, 1 low table, 4 Hu stools, everyone only needs to bring the bed, clothes, daily necessities and farm tools, etc., and the remaining furniture needs to be added slowly." ”

The old village chief was very satisfied with the current village, and immediately said: "The mobilization and relocation will start this afternoon, and the relocation will be completed tomorrow." ”

Li Qiang said: "That's good, the Huns have been a little restless recently, we feel that they will attack recently, I hope you will move as soon as possible, and there will be no unnecessary trouble." ”

"We get it, let's go back." The old village chief is now anxious to relocate to this paradise; When he came, he made a general observation, and there were two defensive walls, all built in a narrow valley pass, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even if the enemy sent 100,000 troops here, he would not be able to use them; Even if the outer city wall is lost, the inner city wall is more difficult to overcome, and there is water and land in the valley, and there is no fear of enemy siege at all, which is more advantageous than the county town and the county seat; In the eyes of a veteran of his border army, this is definitely a treasure of feng shui, no wonder Gao Shun will make such a big investment.

According to Ma Gui's plan, the recruited infantry team and archery team were stationed in Bibo Fort to defend the walls of Bibo Fort; There is an infantry battalion in Taoyuan Fort, close to the south side of the entrance to the outer valley, where pikemen, sword and shield men, and junior infantry are stationed, built according to the standard of 1,000 people; The cavalry recruited has a special cavalry battalion, on the south side of the Taoyuanbao infantry battalion, and to the south is a huge racecourse, which is convenient for cavalry training, and is also built according to the scale of 1000 cavalry.

For the time being, the rescued people who did not participate in the village protection team could only live in the barracks dormitory of Bibo Fort with the recruited infantrymen. Those auxiliaries who accompanied the army were stationed with the army.

The old village chief acted very quickly, and immediately after returning home, he summoned the heads of each household to a meeting, and instead of consulting with them, he directly ordered the whole village to relocate; Many people don't understand, now that there is a village protection team, why do you have to relocate?

The old village chief explained: "The Huns have been extremely restless recently, and they are likely to attack on a large scale, and the village guard team has just been formed, and the number is too small, and it is not the opponent of the Hun cavalry at all; What's more, I've been to Hulu Valley to see it, and as long as everyone moves, they will definitely like it. If you don't want to relocate, you won't force it, but there will be no chance to relocate in the future, and if you miss it, you won't have it, I hope you won't regret it in the future. ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the old village chief continued: "Move to Hulu Valley, and each family will be allocated a set of houses with blue brick houses, and each person will be divided into 10 acres of fertile land; Tonight we will start packing, and tomorrow morning we will start moving, and everyone will be neat, and each family will be assigned a carriage, and all the things that cannot be loaded will be thrown away; Tomorrow afternoon, the carriage will be used for the relocation of the village protection team, so as not to affect the big event. ”

Fortunately, there are fewer people in Taiping Village now, and there is a heartfelt admiration for Gao Shun, since he let him relocate, it is better to obey, otherwise the village protection team will also move away, and their safety will not be guaranteed.

Gao Shun had a large number of carriages in his hands, and the relocation work went very smoothly, and the relocation was completed on the same day. And those who relocate to Bibo Fort are not dissatisfied, this is a paradise.

Zhaozhuang and Taiping Village have become empty villages and are no longer inhabited.

Gao Shun felt that it was a pity to abandon Taiping Village, and discussed with Ma Gui: "Should we build a fortress in Taiping Village, echoing the Hulu Valley." ”

Ma Gui said: "General, this method is very good, but the task of building Hulu Valley is very heavy now, so it is better to stabilize it for a while." ”

Li Qiang said: "General, if you build a large fortress, it will not be of much use, and there will not be so many people stationed, so I think it is better to build a small fortress as a guard and transit station." ”

Ma Gui said: "Even if the smallest fort is built, 100 meters on each side, the amount of work will catch up with the construction of the city wall of the outer valley, and the role is not large, it is better to build the outer wall of Taoyuan Fort; No matter how small it is, it is better to build a watchtower. ”

After listening to the suggestions of the two of them, Gao Shun decided to think about it carefully, and now build the gourd valley first, this is his foundation, and there is no room for mistakes.
