As soon as Tian Shunchang heard Yan Qinghua say that Su Jun had designed a new fortress fortress, he couldn't help but be very excited, the fortress already had such power, could it be that there was a more powerful fortress? At first glance, like Yan Qinghua, they are all puzzled, no matter how you look at the big circle-like building in the picture, it doesn't look like a military fortress that can defend against the enemy?

"Master Su, what exactly are you designing?" Several people in the room asked in unison.

"Dragon's Castle!" Su Jun's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said in a deep voice.

"Dragon's Castle? What's the use of this thing? Yan Qinghua asked suspiciously.

Su Jun pulled another piece of paper, on which was the graphic design of Zhuanlong Castle, and beckoned everyone to come over and explain:

"You come and see, the design of this dragon fort is extremely simple, it costs very little money, but it is very practical, you see, the dragon fort is divided into three layers, the upper floor is a guard tower, when there is no enemy in peacetime, people can also enjoy the cool on it, dry things, once the enemy attacks, temporarily set up a few crossbows here, it becomes a small watchtower."

Su Jun pointed to the middle again and continued:

"The middle floor is mainly used to live in people, and the first layer is close to the ground, we can raise livestock, and here is the gate, see, the entire Zhuan Long Fort, there is only such a gate, as soon as the gate is closed, this Zhuan Long Fort immediately becomes a small defensive fortress that can accommodate dozens of hundreds of people."

Tian Shunchang has been fighting with barbarians all year round and has rich experience, so he was the first to react and asked:

"Didn't the general want our peaceful people to be the same as the Northern Barbarians, all the people are soldiers, the barbarians don't come, these people are the people who farm the land, if the barbarians come, everyone enters the Dragon Castle, as soon as the gate is closed, the bow and arrow are taken, and they become warriors!"

Yu Dayou also reacted immediately, and said with some concern:

"Oh, if we really do this, although we can have a lot of soldiers out of thin air at once, but the combat effectiveness of such a temporarily armed militia is probably not much stronger! It's easy to get rid of by the barbarians. ”

Yuan Chongwen pondered for a moment and said:

"I think the intention of Su Ye's armed militia is not to face the barbarians head-on, but to temporarily take charge of containing the barbarians when the barbarians come, and at the same time protect their property and lives."

Su Jun nodded approvingly, and said to everyone quite happily:

"Chongwen is right, the real intention of building Zhuanlong Fort is this, so the Zhuanlong Fort we built in the early stage must be within the scope of our effective protection. For example, Tian Shunchang is stationed in Mengkou, where there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers of Taidang County, so within the range of your attack, you can build a large number of this kind of Zhuanlong Fort. ”

Yan Qinghua blinked with a pair of beautiful eyes, nodded in agreement:

"That's a good idea, it should be useful in wartime, but I don't know how big this Dragon Castle will be?"

Su Jun said: "There is no need to build too big in the early stage, each Zhuanlong Fort can live in dozens of households, these people can open up wasteland around Zhuanlong Fort and farm land, and they can run back to Zhuanlong Fort if there is something, so that we can effectively avoid casualties, and when we have experience in the future, it is not too late to slowly expand the scale." ”

Tian Shunchang stretched out his hand to take the drawing, looked at it carefully, thought for a moment, and suddenly said:

"General Su, I still have an idea, between every two Zhuanlong Forts, not too far apart, so that between the adjacent Zhuanlong Forts, we can lay rows of wooden piles, lay two layers, and ram soil in the middle, so that a simple city wall will be formed, as Zhuanlong Fort is built more and more, such a city wall will be built farther and farther, and eventually, a certain scale will be formed, with this as the foundation, we will continue to expand the city, so as to become a strong city."

Su Jun stroked his palms and laughed: "Haha, yes, yes, just do as you say." ”

It is precisely because Tian Shunchang is able to write and martial arts, knows how to be flexible, and is good at drawing inferences from one example, even if Su Jun doesn't need him as an outsider now, he still entrusts him with important tasks, and there is a reason.

Zou Hong on the side frowned and said: "But most of these homeless people came to escape the war, and now they want to live on the territory of the more murderous barbarians, I am afraid that few people will have the courage to do this, and everyone will resist." ”

Su Jun thought for a while and said: "That's it, Youlin, you are responsible for telling these homeless people that no matter who is willing to go, no matter how much land he reclaims, our official family will not charge him a penny in taxes, and give him a land deed, this land will be hiss in the future, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, don't ignore the desire of our peaceful people for land, and besides, don't they still have tens of thousands of troops stationed on the side behind them?" ”

"If that's the case, General Su, if we can really stand up in the future, it will also have a great impact on the income of our Taidang County!"

Zou Hong is a pure internal affairs talent, and he cares more about the people's livelihood, and as soon as this problem is solved, another new problem is raised.

"It depends on what you think of it!"

Su Jun said with a smile: "From the point of view, it seems that we have indeed lost a lot of taxes, but as long as there are more people, we will always have other sources of income, and there is a more important reason, that is, after these people go to the blindfold, in order to save their lives and property, they will inevitably consciously carry out some necessary military training, so that in a few years, they are a good soldier, if necessary, we can recruit them into the army at any time, if during this period, they will fight a few battles with the barbarians." , when the time comes, they will all be veterans. ”

Zou Hong thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the truth, so it was not Su Jun who argued, and nodded in agreement.

"Listening to what Su Ye said, I think we should send a veteran who has a family and is good at fighting in every Zhuanlong Fort, and can guide these peasants in military training in peacetime, so as not to panic and be in a hurry when they encounter a war, because the people from other countries and counties are not all as fierce and good at fighting as our peaceful folk customs, and sometimes they still need more guidance."

Yan Qinghua also put forward a suggestion that she thought was feasible.

"Excellent! Everyone's suggestions are very useful! Su Jun nodded and agreed:

"As for the veterans we sent in the past, we will try to choose as many as possible, and when the time comes, everyone will be given the title of centurion, and they will also be able to receive an extra share of silver."

Everyone, you and I said a word, and soon a formal plan was formed, and at this time, Chu Xuan acted as a recorder, recording everyone's suggestions one by one, and then sorting them out, which is a current document.

"Zhuan Long Fort is like a noose that can kill people, it will slowly tighten the necks of the tribesmen of the Northern Barbarians, making it difficult for them to breathe, and eventually suffocate to death."

A hint of fierceness flashed on Su Jun's face, and he used his fingers to draw one semicircle after another on the map, and said seriously.
