Chapter 51: Let them build the road
After two months and the efforts of more than 300,000 people, the Great Wall was finally completed.
This section of the Great Wall would have taken at least two or three years to complete in the past, but with the technology of reinforced concrete, it was completed in two months.
Thousands of meters, connecting the two majestic mountains on the left and right, the two mountains have been dug up a large part, and they look extremely hideous.
On the wall of the city nearly 20 meters high, there are hundreds of forts, and the swarthy artillery is facing the grassland in front, as long as someone dares to invade, hundreds of shells will definitely be able to bombard and kill in the future.
Under the city tower, there is the city gate, and the city gate is long with the words "Great Wall", which is vigorous and powerful.
Li Longxuan stood on the city tower, looking into the distance with a smile, and couldn't help but feel a heroic spirit in his heart.
"Your Highness, the Great Wall has also been built, and the snow on the two artificial lakes has begun to melt, should our soldiers go back to the barracks for training?" Han Tiesheng asked, since Li Longxuan led the team to kill the enemy, and after all the pan people were bombarded and killed in the future, Han Tiesheng no longer dared to despise his nephew.
What is this or the weak and incompetent nephew before, this is clearly a tiger, a man-eating tiger!
"Well, it's also changed to let them go back to training. Li Longxuan smiled faintly and said, "You give an order, except for the thousands of people stationed here, the rest will return to the barracks for training." However, the subjects of training must be based on the methods I have given, and you can no longer use your old methods. ”
Li Longxuan had already planned to use his own method of military training to make the Han Tiesheng Department a veritable modern army.
"Yes, Your Highness. Han Tiesheng nodded and said, what is the strength of Li Longxuan's personal soldiers, Han Tiesheng has seen it with his own eyes, so he also understands that Li Longxuan's training methods are much more advanced than his.
Not only is it advanced, it is simply too advanced! Who is Li Longxuan? A soldier from the 21 st century! That training method will definitely be able to throw hundreds of streets on this continent.
"Your Highness, I don't know what about Aratu and those barbarian soldiers, what are you going to do?" asked Gruss.
"Aratu, how are they now?"
"He is already a qualified believer. Gruss said.
"That's good, then let Aratu and a few other chiefs go back first, now in the grassland, we have a lot of believers, even if Aratu wants to return to the country, it is impossible. Li Longxuan smiled slightly: "Let Aratu go back and tell them that when they return to the grassland, they will raise more cattle and sheep." Forget it, tonight there will be a feast, and I will meet them, and I will tell them personally. ”
"Young master, put them all back?"
"No, just let the chief and some personal soldiers go, and the rest of the people, stay, I'm still useful." The corners of Li Longxuan's mouth showed a wicked smile, how could the cheap labor force be let go so easily?
Letting Aratu and the other chieftains go back was just to appease the hearts of the barbarians, as for those barbarian soldiers, Li Longxuan was reluctant to let them go so easily.
Every day, the delicious food and drink of big fish and meat nourish them, and they want to leave?
"Your Highness, do you want to expand the army? No, by all means, if you expand the army, it will easily cause the jealousy of the Shendu, we have just developed it now, don't be too sharp." Han Tiesheng hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to expand the army, I just think this dirt road is too muddy and not comfortable to look at at all. Li Longxuan smiled faintly: "More than 100,000 barbarian soldiers, don't you think it's a good cheap labor?"
"Young master, what do you mean?" Gruss has been following Li Longxuan for the longest time, and when he saw Li Longxuan's mysterious smile, he understood Li Longxuan's idea of fighting the barbarians again, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, poor barbarians, it seems that you have to suffer for a few more years.
"That's right, I want to build a road, from the Cold Bone City to the prairie, from the Cold Bone City to the Shendu, I want to build a cement road! I not only have to build a cement road, but also a canal, we have to engage in production, planting, and breeding, so we must build a canal, and dig a few more ponds. I want to turn this place into a land of abundance, a land of fish and rice. Li Longxuan laughed and said: "Not only that, but I also have to build a milk factory, a wool factory, and a glass factory, all of which require people, so I can't easily let these 100,000 barbarian soldiers go." ”
"Your Highness, this ...... It's okay in the short term, but after a long time, I'm afraid it will cause a mutiny. Although what Li Longxuan said was very good, Han Tiesheng knew that if he was imprisoned for a long time, the barbarians would inevitably change, even if they became believers, they couldn't stand working every day.
Freedom is restricted, and everyone will be disgusted, let alone this group of barbarians who were originally barbaric and rude.
However, Li Longxuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, not only will they not change, but they are also grateful to us, and they can't wait for us to let them work every day." ”
"Oh?
"Of course, because I'm going to pay them to work, ten gold coins a month. Li Longxuan said, and the person next to him couldn't help but gasp.
Ten gold coins a month, that's a year's income for ordinary people! Not to mention the barbarians, even the residents of Cold Bone City are probably rushing to sign up to build roads.
How much does this cost? Many people feel distressed when they think of money, but now Li Shaolong is very rich, and he has collected so much money, plus the income of Tianxianglou, this money is not a problem.
"Not only that, but I have made some reward plans, among the barbarians, I will select some more loyal people, let the barbarians manage themselves, those small leaders, I will give two more gold coins a month, do a good job, I will also add gold coins, and I will never be stingy with those who work for me. Li Longxuan smiled faintly: "And the best performance, I will also give him the identity of a resident of Cold Bone City, let him pick up his family, and live in Cold Bone City." ”
"Young master, what a clever plan for you, I'm just afraid that I will drive them out in the future, and they don't want to go back to the nest. Gruss smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that after a long time, our Great Wall has been built in vain." ”
If this is the case, there is no threat to the barbarians, and there is still a place for this Great Wall? Isn't this section of the Great Wall built in vain?
However, I saw Li Longxuan smile slightly and said, "No, it's useful, it's very useful, and you'll understand it later." ”
