Chapter Seventy-Three: Liu Ye's Planning
Without waiting for Jia Nian and Guo Dapang to speak, Liu Ye carefully looked at the city wall drawings in his hand.
"Now that we have this drawing, there are many things that can be started immediately," Liu Ye said quickly, and then put the drawing away naturally, and did not return it to Jia Nian.
Looking at Liu Ye's anxious appearance, Jia Nian showed a puzzled gaze: "What's the matter?" ”
"Build the city wall, all those buildings have to speed up the progress," Liu Ye replied casually.
Look around: "Commercial areas, residential areas, barracks areas, and private school areas, all of these must be divided."
"I propose to move the entire village forward ten miles," Liu Ye pointed forward.
Looking at the barren grass in front of him, Jia Nian thought quickly.
While Jia Nian was thinking, Liu Ye explained in detail: "Through today's observation, I think it is a good choice to move forward ten miles, at least to avoid the danger of the enemy directly rushing from the Chaohu River embankment."
"Rushing to the village with the help of a slope will be a great threat to the village. The only way to avoid this distance and then build the city wall is the best choice," Liu Ye said and paused here.
Stretching out his hand and pointing in the left and right directions: "And the four directions of the city, southeast, northwest, and northwest can be opened up to save the villagers from going out to work and delaying the time on the road."
"At the same time, it also leaves a large enough space for the expansion of the city in the future," Liu Ye said slowly.
Jia Nian thought of the scene where the water thieves attacked last time and pounced directly on the village from the river embankment, and nodded subconsciously.
"Indeed, if the enemy pounces directly on the river embankment, it will be difficult for us to resist," Guo Dapang said approvingly.
The corners of Liu Ye's mouth flashed with a smile: "There is another layer to consider"
"What considerations?" Jia Nian asked.
Liu Ye stretched out his hand and pointed to several children who were running up the river embankment: "See?" ”
"What do you mean?" Jia Nian vaguely seemed to think of something.
Guo Dapang also fell into thought: "Does it have anything to do with the children?" ”
"It's too close to Chaohu Lake, and the children have no one to take care of them, so what if they run to the river to play and fall into the water?" Liu Ye asked.
Jia Nian and Guo Dapang were both shocked at the same time, they had never thought about this problem. After all, Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu's ability to see fish is still vivid.
This sentence also reminded Jia Nian that not all children have lived by the river since childhood, and at the same time, not all children have the ability of Tang Jiabao and Tang Daniu.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, I wanted to use these little ones to collect the white sail water thieves, what if the child who fell into the water happened to be the child of a water thief? What happens next, I'm afraid, won't be so wonderful.
Looking at Jia Nian's reaction, Liu Ye already understood in his heart, so he persuaded him: "This is just the worst result"
"The children don't have much self-control, we should find something for them," Jia Nian said subconsciously.
Guo Dapang nodded approvingly, he used to enjoy this kind of noisy sound, but when he thought about it, he noticed a lot of hidden dangers.
"I think all buildings can be postponed for a while, and the priority is to give priority to the construction of private schools," Liu Ye said.
Jia Nian shook his head without thinking: "The construction of the blacksmith shop and the tailor shop cannot be stopped."
"Why?" Liu Ye asked rhetorically.
His lips moved, and Jia Nian didn't reply.
Liu Ye smiled: "Is it because of weapons and armor?" ”
"En," Jia Nian responded.
Liu Ye's eyes looked at Guo Dapang: "You think so too, don't you?" ”
"Yes," Guo Dapang replied without hesitation.
Liu Ye asked rhetorically: "There are ready-made broadswords and leather armor, do you think this matter is still so urgent?" ”
"Broadswords and leather armor?" Jia Nian subconsciously repeated, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have drilled the tip of the horns before.
Liu Ye asked: "I don't know how many crossbowmen the village plans to train, and how many melee troops do you plan to train?" ”
"40 melee troops, 60 crossbowmen," Jia Nian blurted out.
Liu Ye thought about it: "That is, 40 big knives and 40 sets of leather armor, which is more than enough for the inventory in the village."
"Then there's the crossbowmen, 22 of the 60 soldiers don't need to be trained, am I right?" Liu Ye continued to ask.
Jia Nian nodded: "Sun Deqiu they really don't need training, and they don't need to buy weapons."
"That is to say, there are still 38 crossbows missing" Liu Ye said slowly: "Based on the price of 2,000 yuan per ordinary crossbow, it is 76,000 yuan, a total of 7 gold and 60 taels."
"Where's the crossbow arrow?" Guo Dapang asked.
Liu Ye replied without thinking: "When you buy it, don't you give each crossbow 20 arrows?" ”
"What?" Guo Dapang exclaimed, how much is that damn Zheng Lianzhong greedy.
Liu Ye asked rhetorically: "Didn't you give you the crossbow arrows you bought before?" ”
"No, no," Guo Dapang replied with a sigh.
Hearing the reply, Liu Ye secretly rejoiced: "It seems that I asked Shen Chuan to go to Shouchun to buy these things, which is considered to be the right place."
"By tomorrow at the latest, I should be able to buy them all," Liu Ye said.
Jia Nian was stunned: "Have you dealt with all these things?" ”
"It's dealt with" Liu Ye replied to Jia Nian, and then seemed to think of something: "I also prepared 100 big knives"
Guo Dapang showed a puzzled gaze: "Why 100 handles?" Isn't it 40 handles? ”
"Crossbowmen wear broadswords, and if the crossbow arrows are shot, they can also be used for self-defense," Liu Ye replied casually.
Jia Nian asked rhetorically: "Could it be that crossbowmen can still wear big knives?" ”
"Why not?" Liu Ye asked.
Guo Dapang and Jia Nian glanced at each other at the same time, revealing a look of sudden realization, it seems that they have entered a misunderstanding before.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Liu Ye explained: "Although they wear two weapons, they can only choose to use one weapon to attack when killing the enemy."
"For example, crossbowmen, only if they discard their crossbows on the ground. You can pull out the big sword at your waist and become a sword soldier. And their combat effectiveness is not much different from that of professional swordsmen," Liu Ye said.
Surprise spread, and Jia Nian asked, "Can I train all of them to be saber crossbowmen?"
"Training for ordinary people to become crossbowmen, although not as difficult as archers, is also undesirable. After all, a person's energy is very limited, so it is not recommended to do this" Liu Ye vetoed Jia Nian's proposal.
Eyes looking around: "If you agree with my proposal, then I'll deal with it now"
"As for the buildings that have been built," Liu Ye said here, showing a hint of hesitation: "It can be built into a small camp for garrisons."
Jia Nian thought about it for a while, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, but this was the best choice after all: "Do as you say"
