Section 29 The position of a certain person
Gossip or love with his own woman can only be a daily episode, Luo Kaixian is not a little white face around a woman after all, for him who has too many things in his heart, it is impossible to let go of many things to spend the previous month, at least at the current time and place, arranging the life of more than 100,000 people around him is the most important.
Fortunately, although Li Ji is a straightforward and fast-talking character, she is not rude, let alone obsessive, and supports him in every way for what he wants to do, in Luo Kaixian's heart, she is indeed the best candidate to be a daughter-in-law.
Luo, who was happy in his heart, put his energy into many trivial matters, not only did he not delay because of personal matters, but the efficiency of solving things became smoother.
It's just that the life of more than 100,000 people touches too many aspects, and there are so many things that need him to make ideas, so although the efficiency has improved, he is so busy that he even compresses the time for daily morning exercises, and he has no time to gallop with his own mount.
There is no way to be tired, but how can words describe the happiness in it?
Busy days always fly by, from the day the wedding date was determined before, Luo Kaixian's time seemed to have entered an accelerated moment, and half a month had passed in a blink of an eye.
It was rare that there was no strong wind on this day, and after enjoying a cheap breakfast, Luo began to shuttle around the camp as usual.
"How did today's affairs be arranged?" Out of the tent, Luo Kaixian first ran to the wooden house construction area that began to enter the end, and halfway he turned his head to ask Olki and Nuralman beside him.
Luo has too many affairs, and his work pace is very fast, so that Olki and Nuralman have to follow his footsteps, Nuralman is better, after all, he has learned something in the Al-Azhar Mosque, Olki has a lot of trouble, he has to follow Nuralman, who is at least seven or eight years younger than him, to learn to twist a quill pen and write, this former gladiator is like a duck that has been driven to the shelf, and has to adapt to new affairs every day.
Hearing Lao Luo's question, Alki took out a parchment notebook and looked through it before saying, "General, you are going to inspect the wooden house area, the workshop, and the newly discovered mine today, and yesterday you said that you would remind you to check the newly built stables, this is the morning's arrangement!" In the afternoon, I want to meet the merchant Nuak, and the envoy sent by the Ma family in Xingzhou in the north has been waiting for two days. ”
Luo Kaixian walked straight towards the wooden house construction area without saying anything, but he couldn't think of how to answer Alki's question for a while.
The events of this day, almost the same as the previous days, were to adjust the details of the parts and then meet some people, but the people to meet today were unusual. The envoy of the Ma family in Xingzhou is not so easy to see.
Remembering this Ma family. Luo Kaixian remembered that a week ago, Alke, who led the scout battalion to wander around, had sent someone to deliver a detailed information about Xingzhou in the north.
The root cause of the previous extermination of the Uta people - those who killed their own Qarluq shepherds took refuge in Xingzhou, and this Xingzhou Ma family was their benefactor. The information sent back by Alke gave a detailed introduction to the Ma family - although the surname of the Han people was used, the so-called Ma family was not composed entirely of Han people, but of the descendants of Xianbei, the Hui people, and other inexplicable tribes.
If that's all there is, Luo Kaixian won't pay attention to them, the most important thing is that Alke noted a sentence at the end of the paper information, this Ma family believes in the Green Sect!
Linking this surname with the religion they believed, Luo Kaixian was full of unhappiness, he was not sure what inheritance connection this Ma family had with the Northwest Ma clan in later generations, but the rejection in his heart lingered.
Or to be more precise, Luo Kaixian didn't have much idea about the so-called Ma clan, but the experience of being stationed in Western Xinjiang in later generations made Luo Kaixian particularly reject the Green Religion, a religion that is very easy to go to extremes.
Of course, there is not only one religion that is prone to extremes, Buddhism, Christianity and even Taoism have all gone to extremes, if it were not for this era, he would not be able to do anything, but since there is a chance to change, why not try to change something?
What's more, this so-called Ma family also did something that touched his bad head, they took in the remnants of the Uta who plundered and killed their Qarluq slaves!
After having such an idea, how to deal with the uninvited envoy of the Ma family, Lao Luo naturally had to think carefully in his heart.
As a former commander of the special forces, he understands better than anyone else that war does not exist in isolation, and provoking war is an easy thing to do, but how will the chain reaction evolve after the war?
The territory of Lingzhou is only a hundred and ten miles away, and the surrounding area is not a no-man's land, how do the rest of the people react if the people of the Ma family in Xingzhou are moved? Will they unite out of fear and attack their own side? Kill them all?
What Luo wants is to rule one side, not to kill the world.
"Olki, the time to see Nuwak is scheduled to be in the afternoon, and the envoy of the Ma family is arranged after Shenshi, you send someone to inform the envoy of the Ma family, tell him to arrive in time, and if he is late, tell him to go back to Xingzhou." Before arriving at the wooden house construction area, Luo Kaixian finally made a decision.
Snubbed the other party for two days, the envoy of the Ma family must have an understanding of his own attitude, it depends on whether they know whether they are interested or not, all the way east, the Turks and Qarluqs and even the yellow-haired Uighurs have been beaten again, if this Xingzhou Ma wants to stir up trouble around him, he is not a good old man who likes a ball of harmony.
Luo Kai made up his mind first and was tough to the end, so naturally he didn't need to say anything about it.
"Yes, Lord." Alki had no objection to Lao Luo's instructions, and after answering concisely and clearly, he arranged the matter.
……
The construction of the wooden house has begun to come to an end, and what needs to be inspected and guided by Lao Luo is to configure various sanitary areas, as well as a specially set up yard to prevent snow accumulation in winter, as well as specially planned traffic roads, in order to prevent slippery mud, these floors are made of gravel and river sand ramming, all materials are taken from the river bank on the spot, as for why not pave stone roads, there are still only two limiting factors, one is time and the other is manpower.
These two factors also limited the progress of the workshop, and in order to ensure that the workshop could start in winter, Lao Luo had to set the location of the workshop in the original location of the earth city.
No one wants to live in the small and dirty Tucheng of Yuanlingzhou, not only because there are no tents and wooden huts to be comfortable, but also because the former Uta people have caused so much abuse and blood in it that no one even likes to enter it.
Fortunately, it is said to be an earthen city, and there are many bricks and purlins that can be used in it, and you can even find a long enough main beam to build a house! Although this earthen city is not a place to live, the craftsmen don't care about it, and Lao Luo doesn't care about any protection of monuments or anything like that - this dilapidated earth city was once a demon cave, and it has no value worth protecting at all.
Therefore, relying on a relatively well-preserved earthen wall, close to the outer wall, a workshop covering an area of at least 200 acres was established, and the materials of the workshop were masonry and wood dismantled from the earthen city.
The total number of the workshop exceeded 40,000, and it took these 40,000 people ten days to dismantle the dilapidated earthen city, and then set up a brand new workshop on its periphery, which was neatly planned and well-laid out, if it were not for Lao Luo's consideration of expanding a larger workshop in the future, perhaps he would have ordered the ground to be paved with complete bluestone slabs, instead of just laying the dismantled stones in the middle of the road as it is now, for one purpose, to carry the heavy four-wheeled carriage that transports ore from the mining area.
The so-called mining area is not more than one, the first one found is an open-pit shallow coal mining area, fortunately, this is found on the fourth day after arriving in Lingzhou, Luo Kaixian personally went to investigate, with his knowledge in the later life plus spiritual perception, he can judge that only fifty meters above the ground can be mined for at least twenty years, provided that with the mining technology of this era.
Of course, there is not only one mining area, east of the river bank, northeast of the station, scout camps have found more than one shallow iron ore area, although it is not large, it belongs to the kind of sedimentary ore layer that was washed and deposited by the river water a long time ago on the ancient riverbed, and the ore layer that was washed down by the river water is equivalent to being screened once, although the amount is not large, the grade of these black iron ores is very good, enough for the current scale of the workshop.
On this day, the mining area that Lao Luo was called to investigate was a newly discovered gold and copper mining area twenty miles upstream of the river, and you must know that gold and copper are usually associated with these two metal minerals.
"San Lang, this vein is good...... Walking side by side with Luo Kaixian was his quasi-father-in-law Li Nie, the old man looked left and right and said: "I just don't know how much ore can be dug up underground, judging by the old man's experience, it is enough for short-term use...... It's just that the road from the camp is not very easy to walk, and it is difficult for four-wheeled vehicles to pass, unless the road is reopened, it will take too long......"
"Don't worry, Shibo, the ore layer here can be dug at least sixty feet deep, and there may be ore ve......ins under the stone mountain in the west," Luo Kaixian was also in large quantities, the difference was that he borrowed more spiritual power induction, although it could not be said to be very accurate, he could still sense that the yellow spar vein with a main vein of at least five or six hundred meters wide stretched from the surface under his feet to the stone mountain in the west.
"Okay, listen to you, Saburo!" The old man Li Nie was accustomed to following the advice of his future son-in-law.
"As for transportation, we don't have to worry about it either, and we don't have to open the road...... Luo Kaixian raised his finger and pointed to the river no more than five hundred meters, "We can take the river, and in the summer we can build ships by water, and in the winter when the river is frozen, we can use a sled!" ”
"Sledding? It was in Kuzak that the ...... without wheels was used Car? Old Li Nie was always unaccustomed to the name of a sled, and he preferred to describe it as a car without wheels, and of course, he thought that Luo Kaixian's idea was a good idea.
Luo Kaixian didn't bother to correct the old man's ridicule, shook his head and shook his shoulders and said, "Shibo, you are still in charge of arranging manpower, and I have to go to the racecourse to see ......."
Li Ne stopped, looked around, and waved his hand casually, "Go, go......"
The schedule of the whole day is very tight, and Luo Kaixian is the most critical gear, or controller, on a huge machine.
