0033, my manor
The next few days will be the days of resolutely engaging in production and construction.
Relying on the soldiers he had led in his two lives, he earned a huge amount of wealth, traveled all over the world, and saw the most incredible ships...... Waiting, these huge life accumulations, Liu Yu soon quickly polished his first nest in this world or the first cunning rabbit three caves in accordance with his own theoretical system, and temporarily polished a prototype.
The rest of the things are really the work of Li Qing, Handan Chun, and even Xu Shu on probation. Liu Yu is like a designer, they are an engineer. One is responsible for conception and construction, and the other is responsible for completion and polishing.
Therefore, Xu Shu's ten-day military order, on a larger scale, Liu Yu only used it as a symbol, or a bond, to maintain the relationship between him and him or him, or some kind of spiritual contract.
After drawing a roughly complete blueprint and throwing it to others, Liu Yu immediately focused all his energy on two bigger and more important things:
Plant sweet potatoes.
Personally survey the perimeter of the estate.
Growing sweet potatoes is complicated to say complicated, but simple is actually very simple.
There is only one focus, everyone is divided into several processes, each process is only responsible for one kind of work, and all are operated independently, and are carried out in time and segments.
If you can do every step strictly, Liu Yu judged that the secret of sweet potatoes can be guaranteed not to be leaked within a year.
And the core secrets of planting and breeding, to say the least, are three years later.
In three or four years, interest groups that only belong to themselves or related to themselves may have already filled their warehouses to the point of mold. Will the sown area eventually reach 10,000 mu, 100,000 mu or 1 million mu?
As for personally surveying the perimeter of the estate, it's even simpler.
At the beginning of the manor's occupancy, Liu Yu discovered its strengths and weaknesses.
Not to mention the strengths, the disadvantages are very bad, especially in a place like the Western Regions. If someone had saved their hearts, they would not need thousands of troops, but only hundreds of cavalry would have to run over all the way, and this huge manor would be wiped out in no time.
Then the only thing that can be done is to put on armor for it and make it full of thorns.
Armor, to put it bluntly, is to take the manor as the core, dig deep trenches, set up fences, build high walls, and build guard towers around it.
Needless to say, the stabs are naturally the archers on the watchtowers, and the iron cavalry who can also push all the way back.
When Liu Yu finally completed these two major events one by one, winter also quietly came. For others, this is one of countless years, but for him, it is the first year, and it is the year that you have to deal with with all your strength.
Many people, especially those who are already closely related to him and inextricably linked, have asked him to leave for a variety of reasons.
Of course, there are many more people who are swarming like moths to a fire.
Now, whether Liu Yu wants it or not, on the banks of the Shule River, this increasingly large manor is beginning to enter the field of vision of all kinds of people in a drizzling and silent way.
However, no matter who leaves, who stays, or who comes, Liu Yu began to have the first confidence:
The manor itself now has three naked lines of defense.
In the outermost part of the world, there is a vast fence that embraces hundreds of acres of fields that have sprouted sprouts, as well as hundreds of acres of furrows that have been reclaimed for corn sowing after the beginning of spring next year. During the day, there are countless farmers working in it. At night, vigilant Zhuang soldiers patrol it.
In the middle is a chasm four meters wide and two meters deep, connecting the main road with a main bridge, and an 18-person team is on duty 24 hours a day in three shifts. In addition, a number of auxiliary bridges were laid, which were specially used by farmers, craftsmen or families, and nurseries to enter and exit during the day, and were closed at night.
At the same time, this middle section is not only a buffer zone for the entire estate, but is now the main residential area of the estate. Except for a few people, most of the people who used to live in the manor have been relocated here.
Finally, there is a three-meter-high stone wall that encloses the manor. Here, in addition to Liu Yu, only Cai Yong, Handan Chun and a handful of other people still live here.
There is less than half a month before the Spring Festival, and after Handan Chun left, Cai Yong, who originally wanted to stay, finally couldn't stand the repeated letters from his old wife and family who lived in seclusion in Jiangnan, and also set off on the road. It was also for this reason that Xu Shu, who had left a long time ago, was forcibly left by Liu Yu for a few days so that he could be given a ride.
This morning, in the sound of a horn, the old man got up very early and came to the courtyard, looked around the surroundings, and then reluctantly ordered someone to carry the luggage, and he came to Liu Yu's house, and shouted through the door:
"On the cloud, I changed my mind again, you better send me."
Before the words fell, Liu Yu came out in response and looked at him with a smile, which also made Cai Yong surprised and delighted:
"Shaft, did you know this was going to be the case? Let's go, the old man still wants to take one last look at a few places, you accompany me for a walk. ”
Cai Yong was the first to go to see it, which surprised Liu Yu a little, it turned out to be the army camp that had already seen its prototype.
This is Liu Yu's almost complete copy of the infantry battalion model he brought back then, but it also fully takes into account the background of this era, and selects three hundred strong people from thousands of displaced people, and they are mainly Han people or people from the northwest border with Han blood.
Of the 300 men, 120 were the best cavalry, and 180 were the weaker infantry.
The two rushed to the camp, and the whole camp was divided into two phalanxes, horses and feet, and was lining up to prepare for the morning exercise.
From a distance, the three hundred people were neat and energetic, and they looked presentable. But only Liu Yu knew in his heart that his own military camp was actually still a rabble, and it was just a façade.
There is not yet a single general in the army, the entire contingent has not been systematically and professionally trained in military training and inculcated in loyalty, and the number of people is only maintained at a minimum base. Such a miniature armament, the caretaker is reluctant to make it difficult, and it is a joke to pull it out to fight and kill.
Of course, this guard camp is much higher than the more peripheral Zhuang soldiers and the more scattered guards. In time, using this as a blueprint, Liu Yu believes that with his own hands, this military camp will definitely be the seed and germ of an empire in the future.
The next thing to see was Cai Yong's old business, an unnamed academy that was several times larger than the military camp.
This is Cai Yong's favorite, most comfortable, and most lingering place. Of course, a small manor has an academy, and if it weren't for Liu Yu's full dedication, it would not have been possible to appear so early, and it would be in such a remote place. Therefore, this is also a place that Liu Yu attaches great importance to.
In the end, the two unknowingly turned to the vast field outside the manor. From a distance, above the desolate and vast desert, this piece of leisurely green is particularly fascinating......
