Chapter 70: Fortification and Tuntian

Cao Cao had the heart to go south and pull out this newly grown thorn in his eye, how could he have to guard against Lu Bu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to welcome back the Son of Heaven Liu Xie, and welcoming back the Son of Heaven Liu Xie meant fighting against warlords such as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Yang Feng, and Han Xian, and the troops could not be dispersed, so he could only order the new Runan Taishou Cai Yang to be strictly vigilant against Wei Yan's movements.

Cai Yang only had 10,000 horses in his hands, so he could only be stationed in the north of Runan, and he didn't dare to go south, because it was rumored that Wei Yan had at least 30,000 horses, otherwise how could he defeat Zhang Xiu's 25,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

In fact, it was Jia Xu who ordered people to spread rumors about Wei Yan's troops, they had lost too quickly and too badly before, and only by blowing Wei Yan's troops a little more could they not be too embarrassed.

In addition, in order to ensure that the three counties of Yiyang were not coveted by other forces, Wei Yan ordered Fu Tong, the lieutenant of Fuyang County, Wen Ping, and Deng Zhi, the lieutenant of Pingchun County, to all play false flags, and include the reserve army when announcing their troops, so that there are indeed 30,000 horses.

All of a sudden, the surrounding forces such as Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, Runan Taishou Cai Yang, Yuan Shu and other forces all overestimated Wei Yan's strength and did not dare to act rashly.

Wei Yan ushered in a rare respite, building cities, farming, manufacturing ordnance, and training...... Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

Li Yan continued to be responsible for the construction of the city, and after the rammed earth of the inner city was completed, he began to ram the earth of the outer city, and at the same time, continued to fire large green bricks and refine cement.

The clay is mixed with water to make bricks, and it is calcined in a brick kiln for several days to make bricks, the clay contains iron, and when it is completely oxidized during the firing process, ferric oxide is red, that is, the most commonly used red bricks; And if water is added to cool during the firing process, the iron in the clay is not completely oxidized, and it will be cyan, that is, green bricks.

The hardness of green bricks and red bricks is about the same, red bricks are naturally cooled, simpler, so later generations produce more red bricks, green bricks are water cooled, and it is more troublesome to operate, so the later generations produce less, although the strength and hardness are about the same, but the performance of green bricks in anti-oxidation, hydration, atmospheric erosion and other aspects is significantly better than that of red bricks, so Wei Yan chose large green bricks to build cities like the Ming Dynasty.

The firing time of green bricks is generally determined according to the size of the kiln, the small kiln is about 2-25,000 green bricks, generally 20 days, the drinking water is generally 5 days, and the large kiln takes about 30 days.

Refining cement, of course, is not the modern process of later generations, but the kind of soil manufacturing, that is, the limestone, clay according to a certain proportion of grinding into the surface, calcining the mature material, and then grinding with the slag left after ironmaking, it becomes the soil cement, although the various properties are not as good as the cement produced by the modern process, but in this Three Kingdoms era, it is definitely the existence of crushing.

When the rammed earth was completed, the large green bricks and earth cement were also made, and the construction of the city began.

It's easy to say, to really build a new city of Yiyang with a circumference of ten miles, 70,000 or 80,000 laborers will be invested, and it will take half a year to complete it.

Fortunately, Li Yan has high political power, strong overall planning ability, and experience in building cities, so he arranges large and small matters in an orderly manner, and he doesn't need Wei Yan to bother too much.

Wei Yan didn't have to worry about building the city, but he had to worry a lot about farming, after all, he was the only one who knew how to grow spring corn and potatoes.

Of course, the premise is that there are enough spring corn and potato seeds.

At this time, Wei Yan's mind sounded in the empty sexy and slightly hoarse voice of the seed artifact elf: "Lord, you defeated Zhang Xiu's people and horses with a weak victory this time to get 25,000 basic points, and you got 5,000 points by capturing Hu Che'er before, 2,000 points by killing Hu Ma'er and other two hundred Xiliang strong pawns, and 10,000 points by defeating Zhang Xiu, a total of 42,000 points, you are still controlling the people of Fuyang County and Pingchun County, you can get 140,000 points, and your total points are now 380." ,000 points. ”

Wei Yan exclaimed, "Are you mistaken? I remember that there were only 150,000 points left, and after adding attributes to Wang Cang, Fu Tong, Wen Ping, and Wen Yang, there were only about 100,000 points left, which should be 280,000 points, how to pop up a 380,000 points. ”

Kongkong sneered: "It was my miscalculation last time, didn't I tell you last time, 'You completed the task of the Yiyang County Order and obtained 115,000 points, plus the points for capturing Huang Yueying's heart, the points for subduing Deng Zhi, and the points for killing those bandits and Han Huan, you now have 150,000 points." At that time, I was wrong, because the points you captured Huang Yueying's heart were rewarded with 123,000 points, and I took that number as 12,300 points, a zero less. ”

Wei Yan suddenly smiled bitterly: "Empty, you can have a snack in the future!" ”

Kongkong smiled: "Lord, I am just an elf of an intelligent system, you should know since 2016 that no matter how intelligent the system is, it is man-made, and people themselves can make mistakes, not to mention the system." ”

"Okay, I won't blame you if you can make it up," Wei Yan had a new distress: "How to use so many points?" ”

is like a poor person who always takes becoming a 10,000 yuan household as his life goal, but suddenly, not only has he become a 10,000 yuan household, but also hundreds of thousands, and he is a little overwhelmed all of a sudden.

Kongkong prompted: "My lord, there are at least 50,000 people living under your rule in these three counties, and in addition, there are more than 100,000 people in the other six or seven counties adjacent to the three counties who are about to become homeless. ”

Wei Yan suddenly thought: "What about sweet potatoes, I want to exchange sweet potato seeds." ”

Kongkong said: "Sweet potatoes like temperature and are afraid of cold, they don't take root below 10 degrees, and there is no way to cultivate seedlings, and the spring potatoes take too long to grow, so it's better to wait until June to start cultivating summer potatoes!" ”

"Alright then!" Wei Yan used 300,000 points to exchange for 200,000 potatoes and 100,000 spring corn seeds.

At this time, Wei Zhong and others arranged by Wei Yan had already completed the formation of the displaced people in the territory in accordance with the tuntian process given to them by Wei Yan, in addition to the ordinary homesteaders who were family-based, 50 people were treated as 1 team, with a captain, 4 teams as 1 tun, set up a pawn farmer Sima, 5 tun as 1 song, set up a pawn farmer lieutenant (much smaller than Wei Yan's county lieutenant), 5 songs for a part, set up a pawn agricultural school captain, 5 for the 1 army, and set up a pawn farmer lieutenant general.

Then according to the standard of five out of one merit into the military cantonment, the military cantonment of the non-commissioned officers are also called the reserve army, half ploughing and half training, and then according to the standard of five out of one merit into the regular standing army.

The captain is chosen by the Tun people, and the official position above him is selected by Wei Yan with the [Identification] stunt to be the one with the highest command and politics.

Although these people's abilities are very mediocre, they are better than being down-to-earth and loyal, and they will not make a big mess if they strictly follow the process given to them by Wei Yan.

The same drama as before, when Wei Yan led the army to the mountain for training, he suddenly found a large pile of potatoes and corn seeds in some caves, and there were books near the seeds, on which the farming methods were written, and the farmers with the most farming experience in each tun came to receive Wei Yan's training.

Although all the soldiers and civilians respected Wei Yan like a god, the remnants of the previous hero's crusade against the Taiping Dao who pretended to be a god and a ghost were still there, so everyone tacitly kept it a secret.

Then Wei Yan had to work hard to build ordnance, and together with Ma Jun, he created a three-piece set that cavalry in this era did not have.

Hey, forgot, why hasn't that Mrs. Zou arrived yet?
