For those old residents who had lived in the Thousand Mountains Ranch before, this new head of the family was much stronger than the previous Gao Quan.

In the past, when Gao Quan was the lord of the city, he didn't look at the Qianshan Ranch was very rich, and countless cattle and sheep were produced every year.

But most of the final income was taken away by the owner of the Iron City, and the remaining part was also pocketed by Gao Quan.

And Gao Quan spent all this money on supporting his own private army.

After all, at that time, he already had the intention of rebelling, so he was a strong soldier all year round and reorganized his army for war.

The common people living in the local area suffered, often having to work for Gaoquan's army without pay, and the annual taxes were also very heavy.

Therefore, not being hungry was the daily routine at that time.

But even so, everyone dared to be angry with Gao Quan.

Not to mention those of the strongman tribe, although here they are only slaves.

But as a slave in this Thousand Mountain City, the quality of life is much better than when they lived in the steppe tribe before.

Eating three meals a day is simply a life that they couldn't have imagined before.

As long as you are diligent and willing to work every day, people will look at it, and they will give you as much credit as you do.

This is the favorite way of upright prairie men.

Of course, there are many things that make them unhappy, that is, the main family has very high requirements for hygiene.

Not only is it not allowed to defecate anywhere, but everyone is also required to take a shower and get a haircut regularly.

Then the clothes on your body, no matter how tattered, should be washed regularly.

Because, according to people, this is to ensure hygiene and reduce the risk of plague.

Every week they have a half-day off, which is for them to do laundry and clean the dormitory.

Although they were captives, to be honest, the main family was very good to them.

When winter really came, the main family led people up the hill to cut down trees.

Then they used the trees they brought down to build rows of barracks.

Although these barracks are not particularly warm, they are enough to cope with the current winter.

Because the master's family was still in the wooden house, they built an earthen kang and a stove for them.

This is the first time they have slept on the earthen kang, and the first time they know that they can build a house in this way and spend the winter.

Although they have to go out to work in the cold during the day, they are very happy to be able to live in such a greenhouse at night.

This is much stronger than before, when they lived in a leaky yurt in the winter.

Sometimes when it snows heavily, their tents will be crushed by the snow.

I woke up the next day and the family in the tent was gone......

And here, for the first time, they feel that they can survive this cold winter so easily!

Yang Yinuan stood behind the fortress, on the castle terrace halfway up the mountainside, looking at the hot construction site at the pass at the foot of the mountain.

I was also full of emotion in my heart, this Grande is really a talent!

When he left, he just discussed with him and made a plan for the transformation of Thousand Mountains City.

But in his opinion, the progress of this plan may not be so fast.

After all, the world is very lacking in tools and technology.

If he wants to transform this thin Thousand Mountain City into his ideal fortress, it will probably take at least two or three years.

But he didn't expect that when he came back this time, this Grande gave him a big surprise.

He commanded the natives, using the most primitive tools and the most rudimentary construction techniques.

Unexpectedly, most of the renovation work of this Thousand Mountain City has been completed.

Although it was a cold day outside, it did not affect the progress of their construction at all.

Grande redesigned the Thousand Hills Fortress, which had previously been just over three meters high.

The walls are also very thin, with a ring of stone walls almost one meter thick in front.

This time, Grande directly wanted to thicken the city wall to five meters, and the front still had to wrap a huge strip of stone.

And the inside of the city wall is to use the red bricks he taught these natives to burn.

When he was surveying the valley before, he happened to notice a clay ground under the hillside on the right hand side of the fortress.

The characteristics of these clays are very suitable for firing red bricks, and red bricks are relatively harder and more durable than green bricks.

It was very suitable for building a strong fortress, so he selected some craftsmen from among the captives who knew how to burn pottery.

Together, they built a kiln and a brick factory to make red bricks.

Because there is no technical difficulty in firing the red bricks, it only took ten days for the red bricks to be fired.

Then he organized the manpower and continued to expand the brick factory, which now has more than 1,000 people.

Most of them are apprentices, and production capacity is starting to increase.

It's a pity that there is no decent engineering equipment now, otherwise if you can make a special brick machine, the speed can be reversed dozens of times.

Now the daily output is 100,000 yuan, and there is no way that it has not entered the era of mechanization after all.

Many bricks are still handmade, so the efficiency cannot be improved for a while.

However, these bricks are enough to build a fortress.

According to Grande's idea, the walls of this Thousand Hills City fortress should be at least eight meters to ten meters high.

Moreover, the city wall should also have a certain width, at least five meters, and the width can be arranged to ten meters.

Because inside these city walls, there are also hidden soldiers' caves, weapons depots, as well as soldiers' dormitories and living areas.

The defenders who rotated in the future had to live in this wall for most of the time.

Therefore, this city wall is not just a simple city wall, under the city wall, there must be a certain row of parts as a living area.

Then the length of 300 meters, in this section, he also chose several places with dangerous terrain and built some fortresses.

On the top of the city wall, there are also some arrow towers, when there is a war.

If the enemy shoots arrows from under the city, the soldiers can still take refuge in the arrow tower, and the wounded soldiers can also be arranged in the arrow tower first.

Moreover, these turrets also raised the shooting range of the defenders on the city walls.

In this way, even if a strong enemy came to besiege the city, they did not shoot dead ends.

Anyway, in Yang Yinuan's opinion, this Grande's arrangement is a bit frustrating.

He really couldn't understand, in such an era of cold weapons, who could attack such a fortified fortress?

And according to his design, where is this still a city wall?

It's literally the concept of a fully enclosed castle, wow!

This is only the front defense of the city wall, and the back wall has not yet been built.

According to Grande's prediction, such a fortress will be completed.

That must not only be external, but also internal, and must be defended without dead ends.

After all, no one can guarantee that in the future, there will be no one behind them.

Therefore, the city should also pay attention to it, and complete the construction of the entire fortress.

I'm afraid that there really isn't a three-to-five-year situation that can't be done, but fortunately, Yang Yinuan is not in a hurry.

They have time to take their time to improve it slowly, but the defense of the front of the wall must be completed within this year.

Although he felt that this was a bit of a waste of money and labor, but on second thought, it was his own nest anyway.

It doesn't hurt to fix it a little stronger.

And now, it seems that these natives can only use primitive tools, so the city wall is built very slowly.

But when spring came, he would bring some construction machinery over and some building materials on the Blue Star.

Wouldn't the construction of this wall be faster?

And this world is not as orderly as on the Blue Star, think about the high ambition of the wolf, and the high faith of the unwilling.

By the beginning of spring next year, no one knows what will happen.

Therefore, it does not hurt to build the walls a little higher and thicker.

“…… Because this year's winter is a warm winter, except for a month ago, when it snowed, the weather was relatively sunny at other times. ”

"During the day, the temperature is relatively high, most of the time is above freezing, which does not affect our construction."
