Chapter 36: The Founding of the City
As night fell, the camp was still brightly lit, and the barbarians had come to a new place to see things they had never seen before, and there was a great uproar.
The trio of Meng Biao and Li Chengzhou has just finished their work, and it is not a small project to worry about eating, drinking, and sleeping with so many people, after all, the names of the barbarians are all strange, mainly in the name of specific things, and there are some people with the same name, which makes the statistical process even more complicated.
But fortunately, these people just don't have these concepts, and they are not really ignorant, and they can still understand it after explanation.
The trio of Meng Biao and Li Chengzhou hurriedly had dinner and went to find the room chief Ge.
Fang Changge's room didn't know when a sand table appeared, he stared at the sand table silently, Li Chengzhou and the others did not disturb after entering the room, but found their usual position and sat down obediently.
After a long time, Fang Changge's attention left the sand table: "At this time, the sand table just made in the afternoon has the terrain from the camp to the sea ferry. ”
"I was thinking that we couldn't just build a city by the sea, but also build a fortress in a place like Haidu, so that it would be safer."
Li Chengzhou understood the meaning of Fang Changge, the fortress of Haidukou can not only become a sentry post, but also become a bridgehead of the new city, and can rely on the advantages of the terrain to counterattack the enemy who is several times his own strength.
Fang Changge didn't intend for everyone to answer this question: "Build a fortress and put it aside for the time being, the problem we are facing at present is how to rein in these barbarians?" ”
Meng Biao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "According to tonight's statistics, there are more than 3,000 people coming to the camp, about 500 households. However, the number of tribes coming to the camp shows no downward trend, and it is expected that the final number will reach more than 5,000 or more. ”
For the first time, Tomahawk and Fang Changge discussed together, but they were not restrained.
"According to the previous records of the Oak Tribe, there are about seventy scattered tribes in this forest, this information is not known, and the tribes only know the tribes that are close to them and have met, and they do not know the exact number."
"After the Oak tribe weakened and disintegrated, the number of tribes in this forest was about a hundred, and with the Scattered Alliance, there were about thirteen thousand people in total."
"As long as we build a good city and attract more people to join us, then it will not be a problem to build a second city at all."
Meng Biao looked at the sand table: "The construction of our camp is based on the standard of accommodating 20,000 people, and it is about 4,000 households. ”
"If you are not afraid of many people, you are afraid of no one."
Fan Qingyan looked out the window at the barbarian temporary camp, each household was allocated a piece of land as a foundation, and received timber to build a temporary shelter, tomorrow the craftsman will need to take them to re-strengthen.
"Now I'm afraid that these chiefs and the leaders of the Three-Person Alliance are dissatisfied with the status quo and want to take their troops away, then our hard work in the past few days will be in vain."
Li Chengzhou watched everyone speak, and felt that he was too embarrassed not to say something.
"We should assimilate these barbarians as early as possible, as long as the culture is similar, we are not afraid of them leaving, those chiefs can be in charge of the military, take them with the army, and give them a similar position."
Fang Changge nodded: "I think so too, after the Qin Emperor completes the unification, the first thing is to have the same track and the same text, we must also spread the culture as soon as possible, and when the city is almost built, we can open a classroom to eradicate its illiteracy." ”
"Now there is also the issue of food, and only by having enough food can we attract enough people."
"Now there is still enough food on the dragon boat, and it can last for a while, and when the city is almost built, it is time to grow food."
"Now that there is not enough manpower, we will not expand the army for the time being, and the armor and weapons that were given to you before are temporarily useless, you can return them to us for unified preservation and save manpower."
"Tomorrow, the barbarians will be distributed to all the craftsmen, and each person will receive a few to teach skills, and strive to train a few more craftsmen, which will also provide convenience for building a city or expanding the territory in the future."
"Starting tomorrow, we will gather manpower, build cities, and build roads."
"The soldiers mainly maintain order and provide logistics. The artisans led the barbarians outward. ”
"General Mong mainly controls the progress and strives to complete it before the arrival of August; Qingyan mainly assigns specific tasks to craftsmen, which projects belong to which people; Tomahawks mixed with the barbarians who had long since been obedient in the barbarian group, paying attention to whether there were any changes and preventing unrest. ”
"As for Childe.....
Fang Changge pondered for a while: "The son will follow the craftsman, and the fierce general will be sent to the army." There's no harm in exercising more in the team. ”
"As for the chiefs, leave them to the old man, and I will take them to find them a good errand."
After the discussion, the trio walked on the way back, and Li Chengzhou was very depressed: "Why did you assign me the hardest and most tiring job?" ”
"I also want to work with craftsmen."
Fan Qingyan glanced at him: "Do you know that it takes a few days to repair the city wall and a few days to dig the moat?" How is the pier built? ”
"If this is handed over to you, the fire oxen in the distance have come over, and our city wall has not started to be built yet, so young master, you will work with the craftsmen first, and you know what work to do, you can not do it, but you can't."
Li Chengzhou secretly scolded himself, leaving professional things to professional people to do, and he almost forgot about it.
"But Brother Qingyan, when you send someone to collect stone and wood, you can pay attention to whether there is a mine, we can mint coins early, so that we can develop faster and surrender without a fight."
Fan Qingyan didn't understand very well: "This is what you call economic warfare, let you teach me, but you don't teach, and now you start chattering again." ”
After rolling his eyes, he said, "I'll pay attention to this matter, and you must tell me about it another day." ”
Li Chengzhou also has suffering, and he has to think about this matter when he goes back, otherwise he will be talked about every day.
The next day, all the barbarians stood in the square, and each artisan was assigned to several barbarian households, and took them to complete the tasks assigned to them.
From this day on, the boy in the camp was gone, replaced by a man with a dirty face, and no one could recognize the person who was digging the moat as the son from the other day.
The grizzled Li Chengzhou patted the dust on his body and remembered the sentence: Therefore, the heavens will descend to the people, and they must first suffer their minds....
In the past few days, the personal guard team that was scattered by Li Chengzhou also returned, and they returned in twos and threes, some with dozens of people, some with dozens of people, and some empty-handed.
Cities gradually took shape over time.
