Chapter 64: Rebuilding the City Gate

After leaving Changning Town, Xiao Yi always felt that he didn't remember something, but somehow he couldn't remember what he had forgotten, so he had to go to Yong'an Fort. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This line also made Shi Gang and the others know the black heart of the businessman at this time, and at the same time they were very indignant, at this time, human life was so worthless, and the hatred for the businessman and those rich people was a little more palpable.

Xiao Yi and the others left Changning Town, and after leaving Changning Town, the group rode their horses and galloped, feeling the breeze on their cheeks, Xiao Yi was extremely happy. After riding for a long time, he finally saw his Tunbao from a distance, but Xiao Yi looked over, and there were only a few people standing guard on the bare city wall of Tunbao, and he was a little relieved and felt that something seemed to be missing.

When he had to ride to the east gate, Xiao Yi looked at the top of the ticket gate, thought for a long time, and looked back. When I saw the gate of my Tunpu, I suddenly patted my head, thinking that Yong'an Fort is still a simple city gate, and Tunpu doesn't even have a plaque with a name.

Now as the faΓ§ade of Tunpu, these things now undoubtedly need to be put on the agenda.

So Xiao Yi asked Shi Gang to take six teams to Peach Blossom Fort to buy a sufficient amount of red pine wood, this red pine wood is not cheap, and heavy, if you want to build a long-lasting city gate, this kind of red pine wood is necessary at this time.

Originally, Xiao Yi wanted to build two iron gates, but after asking Qi Lao, he knew that almost all the city gates at this time were wooden, and Xiao Yi was relieved when he thought about it.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the metal production technology was backward, coupled with the fact that thieves were everywhere, the government and merchants were extremely greedy, and the craftsmen had no way to live, and the output was extremely low, and metal was mainly used to make weapons and ornaments.

It is impossible to build an iron gate at present, and after knowing it, Xiao Yi no longer thinks about it.

He took two teams and Qi Lao and the three of them to Changning Town, and after handing over the affairs of the fort to Huangyang, he went to buy the items and materials needed for the city gate, and then invited some craftsmen in this area to help. When the craftsmen heard that it was Xiao Zongqi of Yong'an Fort, they were all scrambling to take over this job, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a bloody battle.

This is diametrically opposed to the situation half a month ago when no one cared about it, and Xiao Yi was also stunned.

At this time, it is really speaking with strength, when Yong'an Fort was first built, no one knew about it and there was no one to be done, so naturally no one would come.

Now after so much time, Tunbao is at least orderly inside and outside, after defeating the horse smoker and horse thief, and the last time I watched the well, everyone in this neighborhood knows the name of Yong'an Fort, and the treatment is naturally very different.

When Xiao Yi and his party came back from Changning Town again, Shi Gang also happened to transport all the wood they needed to Tunpu. So Xiao Yi gave an order, except for the three squads that arranged to patrol the city wall and Wang Dayong's night non-collection squad to investigate the vicinity, the other nine squads all stopped training and helped to control the city gate.

The people looked at this hot scene, and they didn't know why.

"Look, my lord, this is going to change the city gate."

One woman wondered, "Don't we have a city gate, how can we have to fight again?" A man beside him replied, "You are a woman who cares so much about what you do, and if you are a man, it will be useful." ”

When the woman heard this, she did not squeak anymore.

One of the men waved his hand again, "Hurry up, let's get out of the way, go home and rest, don't get in the way of the big man-made door!" ”

After everyone listened, they all nodded when they saw the soldiers who were busy inside and out, and hurried back home, but when they entered the house, most of them still gathered at the door to watch and talk about it.

This time the city gate system is no longer in a hurry, Qi Lao supervised the work is also quite fine, Qi Lao said to the craftsmen, "Lord Zongqi said, this time the city gate system must be finely polished, to be very durable and stable, the big guys have mentioned your twelve points of strength." ”

"Qi Gongtou, the wages and food..."A craftsman from Changning Town asked with a smile, and the rest of the people listened with their ears pricked up when they heard his question, and their attention was concentrated, obviously very concerned about this problem.

Qi Lao was not surprised at all after hearing this, and opened his mouth to reply, "You can relax, when you come to our Yong'an Fort, how can you be less paid and fed." Did you hear from the people who went back last time? ”

The craftsman who asked earlier immediately replied with a smile on his face, "I've heard it, I've heard it, then Lao Hei came back and said that he would come to Yong'an Fort in the future!" "The rest of the people are also happy, it is not easy to grab the job of Yong'an Fort, I don't know if Yong'an Fort's fall is as rumored.

Qi Lao was a little happy after hearing this, "That's right, work hard, if you make it well, Lord Zongqi can't say it, and there will be a reward." ”

After hearing this, the craftsmen were assured, they were all excited, and they were all full of energy, and they began to build the work in a hurry.

That night, Qi Lao came to Xiao Yi's door, Xiao Yi is not living in the original simple shack, due to Huang Yang and everyone's strong suggestions, and Qi Lao's calculation of feng shui, Xiao Yi finally reluctantly lived in the northernmost part of the current fort, sitting in the north facing south of the house.

Xiao Yi's house was deliberately built by Qi Lao, and it was much taller than other houses, and the inside was also well organized.

At this time, Xiao Yi sat on the table in the room and listened quietly to Qi Lao's speech.

"Lord Zongqi, a small suggestion can make two stone lions and place them in front of the adult's door, which can not only ward off evil spirits, but also add some power to the adult's house." Qi Lao said respectfully.

Xiao Yi felt a little helpless after hearing this, at this time there were indeed many superstitions about Shishi. The people of the time believed that "the lion is like a tiger, the yellow is bearded, and the tail is as big as a fight." People also believe that the lion is powerful and fierce and can ward off evil spirits, and the lion is entrusted with a reverie of great power and power. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the lion had the effect of warding off evil spirits among the people, and the rich and noble families also often used it to guard the door.

Just about to refuse, after thinking about it, he opened his mouth: "Old Qi, can you build four stone lions." ”

"Four?" Qi Lao wondered, did the lord want to visit the four stone lions in front of the door.

Xiao Yi nodded, "You can put two statues outside the east and west gates of Tun Fort, to ward off evil spirits and to ward off evil spirits for the entire Yong'an Fort, and to guard and guard the entire Yong'an Fort." After speaking, he looked at Qi Lao with blazing eyes.

After hearing this, Qi Lao was ashamed of what he thought before, how could an adult be the kind of selfish person he thought, he glanced at Xiao Yi and felt ashamed, the roots of his ears were already a little red, and when he heard Xiao Yi ask, Qi Lao hurriedly replied, "The adults are broad-minded and think about the entire Tunpu, but the small ones are a little one-sided." ”

Xiao Yi waved his hand after hearing this, "In this way, please ask Qi Lao to be more busy, Xiao Yi has thanked Qi Lao on behalf of the soldiers and civilians of Yong'an Fort!" "Anyway, he actually stood up and hugged his fist at Qi Laoyi, and his kung fu was done.

Qi Lao was shocked when he heard this, he didn't even dare to say, and after he hurriedly agreed, he went out of Xiao Yi's house, and after he went out, his forehead was already a little sweaty, and he wiped his sweat, and muttered to himself, "My lord is really different from the ordinary general flag." He shook his head with a smile, and then went to his house, just a few steps.

After a pause and a moment's thought, he changed direction and walked directly towards the place where the gate had been built.
