After Su You and Yunfan discussed for a few days, the drawings and models of the new city were made.

And Peng Sheng led the 1,000 soldiers who were originally defending the city to temporarily turn into sappers, and began to burn bricks, lime, and cement on a large scale around Lincang City

The steel fired by Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others was also transported back in a steady stream, and the guards who remained in Lincang City began to make molds of cement blocks, and Su You planned to build this new city by building a round wall city.

Of course, bringing in water from the Lancang River as a moat is also one of the great ideas.

During this period of time, after all, Su You failed to be selfless, or as a matter of course, he built his house first, and then prepared a residence for the 10,000 laborers who would work here in the future.

When he lived in a cement house with plastered walls and ceilings, the only regret Su You felt was that the windows were not filled with glass, so he began to flip through the books that Bard had brought back to him from overseas.

Su You believed that soon he would find the recipe for making glass.

Su Yunfan began to concentrate on the development of gunpowder.

It's a pity that even after the New Year, Su You's father and son have not made any breakthroughs.

And the time soon came to the spring of the sixth year of the Great Cause.

In the spring of this year, the Great Sui Dynasty reached its historical peak both in terms of territory and population. Just after the end of the year, Yang Guang put the plan of the Eastern Expedition back on the agenda.

Of course, before officially declaring war on Goryeo, Yang Guang must transfer troops and prepare sufficient grain and grass.

In terms of grain and grass, Yang Guang was ready to collect it from Jiangdu County, so he planned to go down to Jiangdu again under the guise of visiting the Daguan Garden outside Yangzhou, and at the same time open the Jiangnan Canal from Jiangdu to Yuhang through Wu County.

In terms of dispatching troops, Yang Guang summoned Yang Ying and Zhang Heng from Jiangdu, reinstated Yu Wenshu and others, who had been demoted for eight months, and made Wang Shichong the palace supervisor of Jiangdu on the grounds of work experience.

That's not all, Laihu'er was also "demoted" to the forward position of Donglai County as a county guard, and began to build warships in the coastal zone

For a time, the huge war machine began to work.

At this time, Fu Ziheng personally brought 10,000 laborers to fulfill his promise, and Su You's father and son's research came to an end temporarily, Su Yunfan volunteered to go down to arrange accommodation and food for these laborers who came to help, intending to start after they were full

Su You directly took Fu Ziheng back to the small western-style building he had just built, and Fu Ziheng looked at the building made of unknown materials, full of suspicion, and when he entered the house and saw the snow-white walls, he was even more surprised.

The beautiful residence, although it cannot be compared with the luxury of the palace of Zhenxi Palace, is better than the characteristics.

After several pleasantries, Fu Ziheng finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Envoy, it stands to reason that you don't plan to stay here for long, why do you need to build a lot of construction?" ”

Su You smiled, "I want to leave something for the people of Nanzhong." ”

"Leave something behind?" Seeing that Su was convinced, he echoed it.

"I'll take you to see the drawings and molds," Su You nodded, and walked with him to his study.

"This" Fu Ziheng followed behind Su You, and when he opened the door and saw the three- or four-foot-tall model on the coffee table, he was immediately dumbfounded.

What is now displayed in front of Fu Ziheng is obviously a three-dimensional picture of Lincang City.

In addition to their usual concept of streets, blocks, rivers, and squares, there are also elevated aqueducts erected in the air. - This is the cost that must be paid for the construction of the city in the highlands.

The spring water of Namsan is stored in a water storage tower after being brought into the city through an elevated aqueduct. After sedimentation, it is distributed to public toilets, bathhouses and residents in various neighborhoods through leaf-like ditches.

The drainage channel is underground, also like a leaf vein, and the main drainage channel is as high as one zhang, in addition to sewage discharge, it also has the effect of flood discharge.

On the basis of these impressive designs are the familiar designs of roads, alleys, canals, markets, barracks, training grounds, etc

The most incomprehensible thing is, what the hell is it in that big circle around the city?

Looking at Ziheng's stunned appearance, Su You was proud in his heart, but he smiled lightly and asked, "How about it, Brother Ziheng has any good suggestions, just put it forward." ”

"You're so impressive, aren't you?" He had never been to the Central Plains, and he didn't know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would dig out a Kunming Lake in the imperial city in order to conquer Yunnan, and he had never seen Yuanbi City.

"So-so, since I chose to build a city, I didn't think about spending manpower on defense." Su You immediately shook his head with a smile and said indifferently.

"I really hope to see this new Lincang City built as soon as possible, by the way, when will it be built?" Fu Ziheng immediately asked cracklingly, and then asked, "By the way, have you considered the cost?" How much wood, how much stone, how much manpower, how much time do you need to get this effect? ”

What Fu Ziheng meant, of course, was not to paint a cat according to the tiger, but to mercilessly criticize Su You for his great success, thinking that Su You had not stayed in Nanzhong for a long time, so why bother to make it useless?

"How much time it will take depends on whether the helpers you bring are good or not, as for the materials, after two months, they are basically almost ready."

Fu Ziheng was surprised again, "No! How could it be so fast? ”

Su You smiled without saying a word, and then took him to the rooftop of the small western-style building, looking at the hot construction site in the distance.

The two stood on the rooftop, pointing to the country.

In fact, the scene in front of you is only the outline of a new city, but looking at this magnificent city wall built on the mountain and surrounded by water on three sides, you know that it will be an easy fortress to defend and difficult to attack.

Originally, this Lincang city was only bordered by the Lancang River in the east and mountains in the south.

However, under the distribution of Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others, the people brought by Fu Ziheng dug up the soil on the northwest side, and another wave of people used the soil to turn it into bricks, and the place where the soil was dug up became a moat. - It's just that the moat is too wide, right?

It's not so much a river as a lake!

Speaking of this moat, Su You couldn't help but smile and said, "The city I want to build is a city without walls, and the reason why such a wide moat is dug is also to prevent catapults."

Fu Ziheng suddenly realized, and he understood Su You's good intentions.

Rome was not built in a day, and it was not until mid-March that the city of Lincang finally had a rough appearance; And for the sake of spring ploughing, Jiao Ziheng had to bring his own people back.

Fortunately, Su You still has thousands of people in his hands, and they can slowly improve this new city.

After the completion of Lincang City, the grain and grass left by Jian Guoming and Jian Guozhao to Su You were almost consumed, and if he wanted to feed these soldiers in his hands, he had to find a way to exchange the resources in his hands for more food.

Thinking of the exchange, Su You immediately promulgated the first law - the "City Change Law". -- There is law first, and then there is the state, which is also the origin of the term "governing the country according to law".

The "Market Change Law" promulgated by Su You included the crude "Fair Trade Law", "Contract Law", "Anti-Commercial Fraud Law", "Commercial Compensation Law" and other contents, and for the first time put forward the concept of "the sanctity of private property".

Obviously, if a law is promulgated or something, no one will take the initiative to send food to the door, but fortunately, Su You can now use the recently smelted steel to make sharp blades, and he believes that these blades can be exchanged for some necessities of life from the east and west.

Of course, it's not just the blades, Lincang's specialties include Pu'er tea and cane sugar, as well as glass products developed later, which can be sold along the Lancang River to Tibet in the north and downstream to the Golden Triangle

When Lu Sheng walked up with Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and hundreds of guards, and Su Yunfan went downstream with Wang Dynasty Ma Han and hundreds of guards, Su You finally tried to make gunpowder, which is a must-have weapon for mass killing.

At this time, it was June of the sixth year of the Great Cause, and Su You had planned to break away from Yang Guang for more than half a year, but the officials in the Eastern Capital did not know Su You's current situation, and Yang Guang thought that Su You had passed away at this time.

At this time, Yang Guang's rule finally ushered in the first questioner of the Central Plains - Wei Wentong.

In the Qing Dynasty novel "Speaking of the Tang Dynasty", Wei Wentong was Wei Wentong, a subordinate of Yang Lin, the king of the backer, the marshal of Tongguan, who was nicknamed "Flower Knife General", and was shot to death by the king of arrows.

The real history is that Yanmen Wei Wentong gathered 3,000 people, and according to Baomobi Valley, Yang Guang immediately sent Yang Boquan of Yingyang Mansion to quell the chaos.

The time of Wei Wentong's uprising was one year earlier than Wang Bo, who is generally believed to be the initiator of the civil rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Wei Wentong's trivial matter, Yang Guang naturally did not take it to heart, at this time he had arrived in Jiangdu, and had begun to urge the county guards of the counties in Jiangnan to pay the grain tax for this year in advance, and forcibly nationalized many docks along the coast directly and turned them into military use.

For a while, the Age of Discovery was impacted, and the number of people doing maritime trade was decreasing.

The port of Qindao had just turned a profit, but it had become barren because of an order from Yang Guang; And the new officials in Jimo are even holding chicken feathers as arrows, even if they want to control Lu Zhongsu's dock.

How can Lu Zhongsu and Zhai Rang and others be easy to match? When there was a conflict with the official foot soldiers, they could not escape from the sea because they were not prepared, so they had to run to the interior.

In a panic, Zhai Rang and Lu Zhongsu led hundreds of younger brothers to Wagang, and since then they have been in the grass.

In December of the same year, Wang Wanchang, a native of Zhuya County, raised troops to rebel, and his uprising was also before Wang Bo.

Yang Guang naturally did not relent, and immediately sent Han Hong, the Taishou of Longxi County, to pacify him.

Han Hongzi Shuming is Han Bao's younger brother.
