Chapter 302: Taiping City

"Lao Niu, this walled wall must be heightened, at least to four feet!"

Zhang Chu stood on the wall, looking up at the cottage built by the mountain, and gradually sketched the prototype of a mountain city in his mind.

The mule and the foreman ox stood on his left and right sides.

"Specifications, according to the city wall of Jintianfu to repair, first wrap seven or eight layers of brick walls, and then wrap bluestone strips outside the brick wall...... The soil and rocks needed should be mined from the cliffs on both sides of the entrance as much as possible. ”

The cliff in his mouth is the section of the bridge of the dog's nose in Kotou Mountain.

Zhang Chu had already seen it when he entered the mountain, and the cliffs on both sides of that section of the road were not too deep, but only two or three zhang.

At this height, it is okay to block the ordinary bandits, officers and soldiers, if it is the Zhenbei Army and the Northern Barbarian Fierce Cavalry that are attacking the elite army, you can fill in a passage that is enough to walk the horse within an hour!

Zhang Chu has decided to use Kotou Mountain as the foundation for his life, of course, it must be almost deepened!!

Although whether it is the Zhenbei Army or the Northern Barbarian Army, the probability of attacking Dogtou Mountain is very small......

When the foreman Lao Niu heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he whispered: "Master Chu, it's not my old cow who shirks it, this kind of big work, without a few hundred masons and a year or two, I don't even dare to think about it, but you just told the little old man to hurry up and build a house first......

Lao Niu is telling the truth, and Zhang Chu will naturally not be unreasonable.

Zhang Chu pondered for a while, and turned his head to look at the mule: "How many brothers are there in our Quadruple Gang?"

Not all of the people of the Quadruple Gang died in Jintianfu and on the way to the south.

In the heyday of the Silian Gang, there were 3,000 people in the general helm of Jintianfu, and 4,000 people in the eight rudders of the district and county. In total, more than 7,000 people!

At the beginning of Zhang Chu's learning that the Northern Barbarians had entered the customs, he had already begun to arrange the southward relocation of the Quadruple Gang.

By the time the Northern Barbarians attacked Jintianfu for the first time, the Quadruple Gang had 4,000 men and horses, escorting their families to the south in batches.

There were only 3,000 elite gangs left, and they stayed in Jintian Mansion with Zhang Chu to confuse the county government's sight.

Later, Zhang Chu led the 3,000 elites out of the city, but it happened to collide with the Northern Barbarian army attacking the city, and the Silian Gang fought until only about 1,000 people remained.

Later, after Zhang Chu served as the soldier of Jintianfu County, with the help of his position, he used this thousand people as the backbone and re-expanded to 3,000 people.

After the battle to defend the city and move south, these 3,000 people were fighting.

For these 3,000 people, Zhang Chu also sent three groups of people to escort Yang Changan, Zhang Meng, Mule and Zhiqiu respectively, and came to Kotou Mountain first.

Mule: "Master Chu, there are five thousand brothers." ”

Zhang Chu pondered for a while, and said: "Eliminate the brothers who have been on the battlefield, you will intercept three hundred people to take charge of the affairs in the cottage, and the rest of the people will be divided into two shifts and transferred to the construction site in turn to participate in the construction of the cottage. ”

The mule nodded and said, "Yes, the subordinates will arrange it when they go back." ”

Zhang Chu turned back to Lao Niu: "I found you 4,000 strong laborers, so it's no problem, right?"

Lao Niu still had some doubts in his heart, but Zhang Chu had done his part, how could he dare to shirk again, so he could only stubbornly say: "No, no problem!"

"Later, I will let Jiao Qianhu come over and sit on the wall, he has been guarding the east gate of Jintianfu for many years, and he knows the best about the city wall. ”

"And these houses, they will also be demolished as soon as possible, and they will be rebuilt according to the drawings I gave you, if there is any problem, you can directly report to Lord Luo, and if he can't solve it, he will come to me." “

"Yes, Master Chu!"

Zhang Chu clapped his hands and said, "Then let's do this today." ”

"Master Chu. ”

The mule suddenly interjected: "We don't have a name for this stockade yet, so you can get one!"

"Name?"

Zhang Chu stared at the noisy and calm cottage, and sighed: "Let's call it Taiping, Taiping City!"

The mule's eyes froze, and he asked in a low voice, "Is it a ......?"

"Nothing. ”

Zhang Chu said lightly: "I'm waiting, I'll go to Taibai Mansion to see if I can invite Lord Lu to send some officials to settle in our Taiping City." ”

"Yes, Master Chu!"

......

Surrounded by dozens of Xuanwutang armor soldiers, Zhang Chu and the mules chatted and walked home.

"How much arable land has been cleared so far?"

"There are more than 40 acres of land on the mountain, and more than 80 acres of land under the mountain. ”

"It's not enough, you promote a fragrant master who knows how to farm, divide a hundred brothers for him, and be solely responsible for organizing the family members in the village to open up the wasteland and grow grain, and complete self-sufficiency as soon as possible...... In this way, before the officials of Beiyin County settle in Taiping City, you first build a small yamen according to the configuration of the county government of the county, and look for suitable candidates to serve as Tuntian officials, household registration officials, textile officials, etc., we are not here for a temporary stay, we must make long-term plans!"

"You have to give your subordinates a little time, and when your subordinates have selected someone, they will bring it to you and show you. ”

"Hmm...... By the way, are the children we spilled out still in touch?"

"Only some of them can be contacted, and the rest are still being searched for by subordinates. ”

"Try to look for it, if there is a situation that is not very good, find a way to pick it up. ”

"Yes, Master Chu. ”

"Don't fall behind in your own martial arts practice, hurry up and enter the eighth grade, otherwise I will go out to do errands, and you won't be able to control Taiping City. ”

"Yes, Master Chu. ”

......

The foothold of Zhang's mansion, located on the left side of Juyi Hall, is one of the several attics left by the bandits who used to be entrenched in Goutou Mountain.

Zhang Chu was still far from the door, and a big yellow dog had already come out of the door, shaking his head and tail to welcome him home.

Looking at this big yellow dog, Zhang Chu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, even the great man of the sea of qi died, this big yellow dog is still alive, and he has raised a body of fat......

This is the real person, not as good as a dog!

He was sighing, and saw Zhiqiu leading Xia Tao and Li Youniang out to greet him.

"Sir, you're back. ”

Zhiqiu smiled and blessed Zhang Chufu.

Zhang Chu smiled and nodded at her, and turned his gaze to Li Youniang.

Li Youniang has been much lighter and depressed, and there is no trace of a girl's immaturity and jumping off her face.

Zhang Chu stepped forward and looked at Xiao Jintian in Li Youniang's arms, "Asleep?"

"Hmm. ”

Li Youniang replied softly with low eyebrows: "The nurse just finished feeding him, and he fell asleep!"

Zhang Chu stretched out his hand and tucked the small quilt for Xiaodouding, and said softly: "In the future, this is your home, Zhiqiu and Xia Tao are your sisters, if you need anything, you look for them, or directly find Fubo, don't treat yourself as an outsider, when you are an adult, I will marry you." ”

When Li Youniang heard this, two blushes finally appeared on her pretty face, and she nodded timidly.

"Let's go inside, it's windy outside!"
