Chapter 50: No Money
The demarcation was deflated, and Zhao Zheng was respectful and polite, so he couldn't find fault. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info erected the boundary monument ji dan didn t eat a bite of rice and hurried back to zhuojun zhao zheng took him by the hand and was reluctant to give up which made him even more embarrassed and got into the carriage without saying a word about the solid city.
Jing Ke sighed, leaving only one sentence: "If he violates Yan Kingdom one day, he will kill him." There was no reminiscence, only a glass of Yingbu thanksgiving wine, and left in a hurry.
However, the white-clothed Gao gradually left and did not leave, he should not have stayed, but he stayed anyway. For ten days in a row, after eating and walking, he looked at every construction site in Gucheng, as long as there was no ban.
A hundred miles of territory, ten miles of plains, there is almost no arable land, fortunately, Zhao Zheng did not plan to farm. All good land with flat terrain will be built into a gallop road for business travel. Naturally, on both sides of these roads, tea sheds and restaurants were not built less, and a large number of displaced people were organized to settle on both sides of the road.
The mountains and forests are dangerous, where a big city is about to be built, which is also the core of the entire Gushan country, and I didn't go to see it because of the long distance. However, in chatting with the merchants, he had the approximate size of the mountain city in his heart.
Adjacent to the ancient trade road of Jin and Yan, the materials needed for Zhao Zheng to build the city were all purchased from the Jin State, so the news of the construction of the mountain city was not noticed by the high-level of the Yan State at all.
"Zhao Zheng was not recruited", this is the conclusion that Gao gradually left after a few days of observation. Regardless of Gucheng or Mountain City, they can't farm at all, they can only rely on business to survive, but how can the restless Zhao Zheng be satisfied, those earth-shaking thunders that promised the countries in Taocheng, the workshop is not in Gucheng at all, and there is no plan for Gucheng like Rujia Tavern, all of which is just a small restaurant.
The five-zhang high wall is already comparable to the thistle capital, and this kind of defense, as long as the food is sufficient, the defense is not a problem for a year.
"Expansion", Gao gradually left the answer in an instant. However, Zhao Zheng was in Taihang and was surrounded by the Zhao clan of the Jin State and the Yan State, and the expansion could only start a war against one of them.
"The Zhao family is an ally of Zhao Zheng, and he will not easily cut himself off"
"Yan Kingdom, he will attack Yan Kingdom in the future."
Gao gradually left and hesitated, Yan Country is full of branches opened by Homeinns, even if there are princes and nobles involved, King Yan will not sit back and watch an enemy absorb gold in Yan Kingdom.
After thinking about it and thinking about it, an assumption was overturned by a hypothesis, Gao gradually left his head and went numb, so he simply bought two jars of wine and toasted to Yue and got drunk.
One million people raise 100,000 elite soldiers, and they can fight for several years without food and grass; 500,000 elite soldiers, up to three years, otherwise the army will be exhausted.
Sitting and watching the solid city, plus the displaced people are worthy of ten thousand households, where there is the ability to fight abroad, even the weakest Yan country, the emaciated camel is bigger than a fat wolf.
"Zhao Zheng doesn't have the ability to attack other countries, but he is obviously preparing his army for war, why, what is he going to do?"
Although Gao was in a dream, these questions were like nightmares, and he exhausted his mind.
In the city lord's mansion, the lights are still bright and heavily guarded at night. In the makeshift secret room, Gong Duo was like a gecko, lying on the design drawing and looking at it carefully, and he was about to introduce it to the civil and military minister of Gucheng, and he didn't dare to be sloppy.
Attacking Zheng Guo for a while, Zhao Zheng got a treasure, after Taocheng negotiated, coercion and temptation tried his best, Gong Yi Duo was coaxed like a child, got into a carriage and drove all the way to Gucheng, and he urinated on the way and was accompanied by someone.
This is a talent, after losing the carpenter, Zhao Zheng urgently needs the help of the master of the mechanism, and the public loss Duo is full of curiosity and is desperate to crack the secret of the earth-shaking thunder, so the two quickly embark on a thief ship.
Gong Yi Duo came from a family of institutions, and the construction of the city was not a problem, but after listening to Zhao Zheng's ideas, he always felt that he had worked in vain in the past few years.
This time, according to Zhao Zheng's concept, he repaired the map of the mountain city designed dozens of times, and made use of everything except the sky.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I propose before the meeting that Mr. Gongyu have worked hard for this design, and everyone salutes him."
The modern hand salute, the public loser obviously doesn't understand, but seeing everyone wearing imitation Western-style military uniforms and hanging ribbons on both sides, it is also quite powerful.
"Let's sit down and listen to Mr. Gongyi."
Gong Duo clasped his fists in salute, picked up the stick and was about to speak, his hand pressed into place, but his mouth could not be opened. He saw that except for Zhao Zheng and Wei Lian, other generals such as Yutou and Liang Ji all had short hair.
The parents who suffer from the body do not dare to damage it, and the beginning of filial piety is also. This truth, which has been instilled by the elders from below, seems to have disappeared in an instant in Gucheng.
Zhao Zheng saw his surprise and said with a smile: "When marching and fighting, whether it is clean or convenient, long hair is always inferior to short hair.
Shaving my hair is voluntary, and I originally wanted to shave, but they said that I was the face of Gucheng and showed it to those nobles, so I kept it for the time being.
But this military uniform brother thinks it's good, the wool tweed coat is more precious than Shu brocade. ”
"Gushanjun is eclectic, and the generals are also eclectic, and I admire it below."
Gong Yi Duo grew up in a big family, and he was familiar with the etiquette system, although he felt fresh now, he didn't dare to try it. Missed the topic and introduced the structure of the mountain castle.
"It took a month, and together with the results of the previous mapping team, this drawing was finally made. The design of the mountain castle is absolutely unique throughout the ages, and there are secret channels to communicate both above and below ground. ”
Gong Duo proudly drew a circle on the map, which was the underground part of the mountain castle, because it was a hard granite structure, like an underground tunnel, and the above-ground buildings were not affected at all.
"Building a fortress on a dangerous road and smoothing the road to deploy suspicious soldiers is a strategy set by Lord Xiangguo.
In terms of design, the mountain city can not be said to be just a generation of big flat tops, running through a radius of ten miles, and there are tunnels and hidden castles in the precipitous places underground, which is what Brother Zhao said 'digging deep holes'. ”
The tea was changed three times, and the drawings were spoken for an hour, and Gong Duo's face was pale, as if he had exhausted all his strength, but the look of joy on his face was obviously his proudness.
"Build high walls, dig deep holes, and accumulate grain. These nine words are our strategic guidelines for at least the next five years, and you can say whatever you have any opinions. ”
It was natural for Zhao Zheng to appropriate Taizu's famous sayings, who was once a new generation of the motherland and consciously inherited the ideological achievements of the leader.
Repairing walls and digging holes, no matter which item is obviously not a small number, Dongfang Valley, who is in charge of finance, is the first to show a look of doubt.
"According to the assumptions of the lord and the gentleman, the construction of the mountain city will take at least half a year, and it will cost at least one million dollars, but at present, the payment for goods in various places has not been paid, and a large amount of gold and silver is also needed to build the solid city, and the treasury is almost empty."
"Isn't there still a wealth compensated by Zheng Guo, who sold him and exchanged it for grain to build a city."
In his lifetime, Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with receiving war reparations from others, at least for the civilian class.
Dongfang Gu shook his head and took out his account book: "Zheng Guo gave a total of 100,000 treasures, but most of them were silk cloth and pottery ceremonial guards. Looking at the value, they are all extravagant things, and some of them are special honor guards for the monarch, and they can't be sold at all. ”
It was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so Zhao Zheng took the account book and read it carefully, so he had to sigh. I can't imagine that he will be short of money since he arrived in the Warring States period,
