On the second day, Li Bao returned to Weiyuan County with Weiyangzi, and Zhang Chengye had already led people to wait for him. (Fastest update)

When Li Bao arrived in Weiyuan County, it was not yet 8:00 a.m., and the weather was not very hot. A large number of people have also gathered outside the Weiyuan City Gate, as well as various building materials.

Zhang Chengye was leading the people to repair the city wall of Weiyuan County, and after he listened to Li Bao's recipe, the first batch of fired cement was applied here, which Zhang Chengye did not expect.

The reason why the gate of Weiyuan County is so fragile is because the gunpowder formula provided by Li Bao is the best ratio researched by later generations, and the explosive power of gunpowder is very powerful, and another reason is that Weiyuan County is too disrepaired.

The Tibetans are really good at sabotage, but when it comes to construction, they are really lacking. In addition, in these years, Weizhou has been robbed by the Tubo War as a border state for many years, and the oil and water in Weiyuan County, Kalondawa himself has too late to carry in his pocket, how can he have the energy and mind to repair this city that can be lost at any time.

The characteristic of the nomads is that they are mobile warfare, they have been grazing and wandering outside all year round, and the county seat of Weiyuan is also their outpost for grabbing every autumn.

Now Li Bao led the Weizhou New Army to recover the two county towns of Weiyuan and Yanxian, so that Weizhou has become a complete system, and the territory occupied has increased, but the pressure of face-to-face competition with Tubo is greater.

Therefore, Weiyuan County and Yan County must be repaired. The Tibetans, like other nomadic peoples in history, were strong in the field, but siege was not their forte.

Li Bao's visit to Weiyuan County was also to instruct Zhang Chengye on how to make the ancient version of concrete, after all, new things must have a process of adaptation and learning.

Compared with the later generations, the cement fired by the ancients is still very different, after all, the production tools and production levels of this time and space are still very different, and the fired cement powder still has the defect of large particles.

However, after these cements are mixed with sand and stirred with water, the effect after solidification is still good, at least it is much stronger than the mud mixed with glutinous rice syrup and straw that is used today. (Fastest update)

In addition, cement slurry is mixed with crushed stone, and concrete can be made. The effect of this concrete must be good in today's time and space.

However, the fly in the ointment is that there is no steel bar at this time, and iron materials are relatively scarce. However, he could use the bamboo that is now ubiquitous as an alternative.

As for the safety of bamboo, it is not a matter of special concern in this time and space. Li Bao once understood in later generations that adding bamboo to concrete can have the same effect as steel bars, but the safety will be much worse.

But now, in order to be in a hurry, Li Bao is the last word to get it first. It is not a big problem for these bamboos to last for decades, and who knows what it will be like in the future.

Therefore, Li Bao did not have any psychological obstacles in using bamboo, and he instructed Zhang Chengye to build the shape of the wall with wooden planks according to the form of wall construction in later generations, and then use bamboo as the skeleton of the wall.

The people at the head of Weiyuan County were very curious about the method of building the wall of this young nobleman, but they saw that the senior officials of Weizhou and the deputy ambassador of Fengxiang Town Jiedu listened to him as a young man, and they did not dare to ignore the actions of the powerful people, so they had to act according to orders.

This wall building is not Li Bao's main business, he only asked the people to build a small section of the wall on the spot for a demonstration, and then the rest is for them to continue to build as usual.

After a section of the wall of more than three meters was built, Li Bao ordered the people to pour the reconciled mortar into the supported shelf, and with the pouring of the mortar, in less than a quarter of an hour, a three-meter-long and one-meter-high slab wall was built.

But when the young nobleman announced that this section of the wall had been successfully built, not only Zhang Chengye but also the long-sitting mason man was stunned. This construction speed is simply god-fast compared to the inefficiency of people pulling horses and dragging them at present.

After building this small section of the wall, Li Bao called the person in charge of building the city wall again, and carefully explained the requirements and styles of the construction. kxs7.com he still has something to give to him.

"Now that Weiyuan County and Yanxian County have recovered, the next thing is to arrange defense and recruit Dingkou, although this place is located in the border state Dingkou is scarce, but the surrounding mountains and villages are hiding a lot of Han people, they are hiding in order to survive and avoid the war, now the new army of Weizhou is coming, we can protect their safety, those Han people who escaped are not fools they will measure."

"What the king said is that this thing has been done all along." Zhang Chengye replied.

"There is another one, although this method is useful, but the effect is too slow, I have another one here with fast results, do you want to hear it?" Li Bao asked with a smile.

When Zhang Chengye heard this, he smiled on his face and said hurriedly: "What is a good way for the king, tell me quickly, you don't know that when you first arrived here last year, in order for us to have more dingkou in Weizhou to develop workshops and farming, I almost couldn't sleep every night." ”

When Li Bao heard this, he was quite moved, and said emotionally: "Jiyuan is hard, my method may not have worked before, but now it will definitely work, because we have just won two big victories, and the surrounding Tubo people must be frightened." ”

"The king is right, the surrounding Tubo people are all loose Tubo tribes, they were beaten by us this time, and most of the entire Dongdai support army has gone, and they will definitely be afraid that we will continue to attack them."

"Well, this is my method, let's beat them, the next thing is to negotiate with them, negotiate to buy back the Han Min slaves in their hands, so that our Dingkou will definitely increase rapidly."

When Zhang Chengye heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "Why didn't I think of this method, the king is wise." It's just that the power of these surrounding Tubo people is very weak, how many Han slaves can they have? Besides, what do we exchange with them now? ”

Li Bao listened to Zhang Chengye's question and laughed, "Jiyuan, why did you forget your own business?" They are clumsy and can't do fine things, so our workshop will take out anything and exchange a few dings with them.

Besides, the Tibetan people have eaten beef and mutton for many years, and they will not be able to stand it if they eat too much greasy meat and do not digest it. We have tea, salt and all kinds of handicrafts here, all of which are lacking in the Tibetan people, are you afraid that we will not have anything to exchange with them? ”

Zhang Chengye's face was a little embarrassed, he cared about it, and forgot for a moment that Weizhou's fist products were all kinds of delicate items, such as fans, and the Tubo people lived in the alpine region all year round, and they couldn't stand the high temperature in summer.

There are also Tibetan people who do not bathe much all year round, the fishy smell on the body is very strong, the soap produced in Weizhou is very strong to remove pollution, plus the common silk and porcelain on the Silk Road are loved by the Tubo people.

However, Zhang Chengye was a little uncertain about how attractive tea and salt were to the Tubo people, but since the king said it, it must be what they are short of.

"And if we have been cooperating with those Tubo people for a long time, we might as well incite them to help us rob people from other chieftains, as long as our things are beautiful and easy to use, they will be tempted." Li Bao saw that Zhang Chengye was still digesting what he had just said, and he continued to make some additions to his plan.

This suggestion that "money can make ghosts grind" is either a plan, or it is put forward by taking advantage of the current situation of civil strife in Tibet and scattered throughout the country, and the tribes are fighting among themselves.

Human nature is greedy, Li Bao was able to gather a large number of people in Chang'an City for his use when he was young because he knew this truth well, as long as the interests were enough, even ghosts would be tempted, not to mention those vulgar Tubo chieftains?

After Zhang Chengye heard Li Bao's clever plan, he admired Li Bao even more in his heart. nodded yes, and planned to discuss the details and feasibility of this plan with Zhang Qingping.

After saying this, Li Bao explained to Zhang Chengye about the future plan of Weizhou and the development direction of the new army in Weizhou, after all, Weizhou is in its infancy today, but next year Huangchao will approach Fengxiang, and he must quickly have strength to save his life and the lives of the people around him.

Weizhou's future plan is to vigorously develop industry and commerce, because it is located at the heart of the Silk Road, only more than 200 miles away from Lanzhou, the gateway to Hexi, and it is also close to Shuzhong, with a strong economic hinterland. Therefore, Li Bao wants to build Weizhou into a regional commercial leader, so that he must vigorously explore the commercial potential of the surrounding area.

In addition, Weizhou also has to increase interaction with the Zheng father and son of Fengxiang Mansion, and Zhang Chengye, as the deputy ambassador of Fengxiang Town, must play the role of communicating between the two places.

After Zheng Ningji followed Li Bao to Weizhou, Li Bao was busy training troops and recovering lost territory, and he didn't care about his father-in-law for a while. Now that the two counties have been recovered, he must rush back to Weizhou City, and then discuss the future cooperation framework with Zheng Ningji.

Although Zheng Zheng agreed to the marriage of Li Bao and Zheng Yan, there is a lot of room for his statement, after all, there are still several years before Li Bao performs the crown ceremony, which is full of uncontrollability.

For the sake of his happiness in life and happiness in the future, he must firmly tie the ally of the Zheng family to his chariot, after all, it is a family with five surnames, and their strength should not be underestimated.

As for the issue of compensating the wounded and wounded soldiers of the Weizhou New Army, he had already discussed it with Zhang Qingping, the head of the army, at yesterday's military affairs meeting, and because Zhang Chengye was in charge of civil affairs, he still had to inform him.

As for the formation of the Hu Ren Army, they have also talked to Zhang Qingping, and they just need to do it according to Li Bao's arrangement. However, the recruitment and subjugation of the Hu people need to be Zhang Qingping, and they are worried. The training should be carried out in accordance with the various rules formulated after Li Bao came.

When everything was arranged, Li Bao said goodbye to Zhang Chengye, and he had to go back to Weizhou City to meet with Zheng Ningji first, and then he should arrange a plan to return to Chang'an.

However, there is still an important thing that Li Bao has to solve before returning to Chang'an, that is, the Weizhou New Army has now been formed for a year and a half, and at the beginning of its formation, it was organized according to various branches of the army, and now various problems have appeared.

If the Weizhou New Army continues to operate independently as it did when it was first established, Li Bao predicts that the split of the Weizhou New Army will be inevitable in the future, so Li Bao plans to start studying the reorganization of the Weizhou New Army after returning to Weizhou.
