Chapter 20 Construction Projects
Ziren thought for a moment, and felt that it was useless to think about this matter, and now he can only find ways to expand his strength, as long as his troops are strong and strong, this Liaodong Town will always have its own place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe food and armor brought by the Li family this time happened to be suitable, so Ding Youcai asked Ding Youcai to take people to count these materials and put them in the inventory.
After some inventory, it was found that the grain sent by the Li family had been increased by 20% as promised, which could be used to help the victims. And the armor sent, plus Hao Jie's transfer and the original one in the fort, can barely make everyone wear armor after the expansion of the army.
Among them, the golden mountain armor made Ziren love it even more, and let people put it alone in their own room. This mountain armor is named because it is made up of countless pieces of iron in the shape of a mountain. In addition to the beautiful appearance, the comprehensive protection ability of arrows, knives and guns is also of the highest quality. However, because the size of the armor must be the same, the cost of building it remains high, and it is only used as a military general's armor or pro-army armor, and few people wear it at the border gates. In this way, it seems that the Li family has a heart.
After Ziren was overjoyed, he continued to discuss with the generals about the resettlement of the hungry. In addition to dedicating people to build shacks, in order to prevent the starvation people, they indiscriminately took over the polluted water source in the fort. Ziren also specially ordered someone to find a downwind outlet to build a row of simple thatched toilets to facilitate the collection of toilet soil, and the remaining manure can be used for fertilizing the field in the future.
Now that he has so much labor, Ziren is ready to build a large reservoir to prevent drought, and the fish and crabs raised can be used to supplement the lack of meat, and to strengthen the system of soldiers and prevent night blindness.
At this time, Han Shiyong, who was silent on weekdays, suddenly spoke: "I am not good at fighting on weekdays, but you can use me for this kind of fish farming." After speaking, he patted his chest confidently, and said confidently: "The area around Changning Fort is the land of water and rice, in fact, it only needs to transform the rice fields slightly, and then send people to catch some silver carp, bighead carp, carp, crucian carp fry and put them in." In addition, fish can be used to eat the pests and weeds in the rice field, turn the soil when swimming, and excrete manure, which can create favorable conditions for the growth of rice, and generally increase the yield of rice by about 10%. ”
Han Shiyong is good at farming, Ziren has heard about it, and he was overjoyed when he heard it. It was agreed that Han Shiyong would handle the matter in full, and when the hungry people came, he would transfer fifty men to his command, and also give him twenty taels of silver as a reward to encourage everyone to contribute to the revitalization of Changning Fort.
Seeing this, Li Laoliu also proposed that several of the people rescued from the Mongolian Tatars were good cattle raisers, and that there was a large grassland outside Changning Fort, which could raise cattle, and it would save a lot of expenses than paying for them. Ziren also adopted it on the spot, and asked Li Lao Liu to take charge of this matter, and later he would find a place to build a new fort for him, which was specifically responsible for raising cattle.
Then everyone began to speak. Cui Desheng suggested that Ziren expand the border wall to protect all the land east of the Hunhe River, which can increase the fertile land by thousands of hectares. Ding Shoutie proposed that Ziren build a charcoal kiln, and there are many woodlands around Changning Fort, which can be cut and burned into charcoal for iron smelting.
Ku'er's mother, Li Kuniang, also offered advice, saying that she had raised chickens and ducks in her early years, and that many orphans and widows in the fort could organize them to raise chickens and ducks on their own, so as to reduce the burden on the fort.
Ding Youcai saw that everyone had a plan to offer, he was very anxious, thought hard for a long time, and secretly said in Ziren's ear: "Young master, we have a little spare money on hand, why don't we lend money in the city, nine out of thirteen, if you can't get it, you ......."
As soon as Youcai said halfway, he saw Ziren glaring at him viciously, worried that the young master would be angry, and said to himself: "Ah! It's bad, Tai Chi hasn't been fed today, young master, I'll go and get busy first so as not to delay you to discuss big things. With that, he rushed out of the door amid everyone's laughter.
After some discussion, in addition to the side wall, Ziren could not afford it for a while because the manpower and money required were too large, so he rebuilt the old side wall instead. The rest of the rules were adopted by Ziren, and asked everyone to go back and think of a plan as soon as possible, and start working on it as soon as the hungry people arrived.
In the end, Ziren felt that this Changning Fort was located in a remote area, and once it was besieged by a large number of Mongol Tatars, most of the surrounding forts were reluctant to come to help. For this reason, it was decided to build a new garrison city of 200 steps on the high ground about two miles south of Changning Fort and name it "Jing'an Fort".
It was handed over to Ding Bi to guard, and it was used as a military camp to train soldiers here on weekdays. After the Li family sent two jack franc machines, Jing'an Fort and Changning Fort each placed one. The range of the jack franc machine is more than one mile, and if any Tartar dares to attack the two cities to echo each other, so that under the blow of the Tartar and the crossfire, it will not be possible to form a formation with peace of mind.
After some discussion, seeing that it was getting late, Ziren asked everyone to go home and rest, and in a few days they had to train the troops and spend a lot of effort on large-scale civil engineering. Before leaving, he also distributed the mushrooms, pheasants, game and other mountain goods seized from Tong's house, so that everyone could replenish their bodies.
After that, Ding Youcai and Ding Bi were left behind, and asked them to take fifty soldiers to the city early tomorrow morning to continue the soup kitchen, and pick out some leather goods collected from the Tong family that were not in good condition and bought. If you see a newly recruited man dragging the family, you can also help to pick it up, so as not to send someone to make things difficult for the Tong family.
Ziren then thought about it for a while, and asked them Ding Shoutie and Zu Damu to bring it with them. Ding Shoutie is mainly responsible for selecting military craftsmen, and if Hao Jie's assigned military craftsmen are not skilled, they will all be returned. Zu Damu was born in a dry shop, and he was used when selling leather goods for bargaining.
After the two were ordered to disperse, Ziren hurriedly ate a few bites of food and took the time to go to the warehouse. Most of the bird guns stored in the god hangar are produced in Liaodong Town and the north, and the northern craftsmen are not good at making this guns, so the quality is mostly coarse and disgusting. One of the few bird guns produced in Zhejiang was all asked by Shen Yourong a few days ago, and Ziren had no choice but to choose a hundred rods for him.
After a careful inspection in the warehouse, twenty or so poles were selected from them, but this caliber was still different, and it was inconvenient to use. The rest of the scrap bird guns were all dismantled by the warmakers, the gun pipes were re-forged, and the remaining triggers and other parts were temporarily retained to see if they could be matched when they could make their own bird guns in the future.
Ziren worked hard after this busy work, and rested back in the house in the second half of the night. Seeing that someone had already helped him make the bed, it was all Ding Youcai, a kid who came to shoot his horse after knowing his mistake.
In order to prevent the Shura girl and Ding Zhenbang from coming here uninvited, Ziren specially checked the corners of the house before going to bed before blowing the lamp and going to bed.
As soon as he entered the quilt, he found that there were other people in the quilt, so he hurriedly turned over and jumped up. As soon as I lit the candle to see what was going on, I saw a woman come out of the quilt.
The woman wore only a thin layer of gauze on her body, and under the light of the candlelight, she revealed her graceful figure under the clothes. Although the candlelight is dim, everything that the woman should and shouldn't see is revealed in front of Ziren.
