Seeing Ning Wan's expression, Yang Chengying realized that he would be wrong.

"That, Mr. means ......"

Yang Chengying smiled awkwardly.

Ning Wan didn't sell Guan Zi this time, and said bluntly: "Four words 'work for relief'." ”

This method has been thought of a long time ago, but Yang Chengying feels that there may not be a need to recruit so many people.

Moreover, after the construction of the city, these newly recruited people immediately lost their jobs, which does not mean that the problem has not been solved.

However, I obviously don't see it that way.

"General, these four words contain a lot of content, including opening up all the land south of the new city for farming."

Ning Wan said: "I didn't dare to farm there before, because the slave soldiers went south, and they didn't worry about the defense of the new city. ”

This sentence reminded Yang Chengying.

Settling the refugees there can not only solve the contradiction between people and land, but also mobilize the people to be the eyeliner and guard against the infiltration of spies into that area.

"According to what you say, I should personally go north and lead everyone to build a new city?"

Slowly, Yang Chengying figured out the flavor of Ning Wan's words.

Ning Wan smiled and said, "Such a big matter really needs to be attended by the general in person." ”

"Oh." Yang Chengying suddenly realized, "It turns out that you tactfully reminded me that the preparations for the construction of the city this time were not sufficient. ”

Seeing his intentions, he was finally guessed by the general, and I would rather finish and I would no longer hide it.

"The general does not need to be suspicious, but it is worthy of affirmation to employ people. But the new city is related to the life and death of the entire Golden State, and it cannot tolerate a little mistake. ”

Ning Wan continued: "The general must not only bring the soldiers and horses under General Jiang's command, but also bring the three battalions of water, fire, and mountain infantry and the cavalry of the Fengzi battalion in case of accidents. ”

"Sir is really far-sighted."

Yang Chengying made up his mind to reformulate the plan.

Therefore, he sent his subordinates to inform Jiang Chaodong and others to postpone the implementation of the plan to build a city in the north.

At dinner time, Yang Chengying went back to his home for dinner.

After washing her hands, Tian Yingniang had already brought the rice to the table.

After discussing the details of building the city with Ning, Yang Chengying had been hungry for a day, and he was so hungry that he was not polite, so he picked up the bowl and ate.

I ate two bowls in a row.

After the meal, the maid took away the dishes and chopsticks.

After Yang Chengying rinsed his mouth, he mentioned something to Tian Yingniang.

"Ma'am, I need to go north for a while."

Yang Chengying said: "I think, if it is convenient for Madame, she can go north with me." ”

The construction of a new city in the north took as little as three months and as long as half a year. I and Yingniang belong to the newlyweds, how can I stand such a difference.

What's more, as the main general, he can't leave his post easily, and if he wants Yingniang, he has to invite her to go north.

Tian Yingniang paused for a moment and asked, "The general is allowed to go north and bring his family?" ”

"I'm going north this time to do a big thing that will take months to complete, and I've asked soldiers with families to bring their families."

Yang Chengying introduced.

For the sake of secrecy, he did not directly say that he was going to build a new city.

"They also bring their families?" Tian Yingniang was even more surprised.

"It's just a little bitter, there is no ready-made house, and the food is no better than Jinzhou City."

Yang Chengying thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to leave Yingniang in the city: "Forget it, the more I think about it, the more I feel that I can't do this." I think you will occasionally be organized to go north to visit your relatives. ”

"It's okay." Tian Yingniang said with a gentle face, "As long as it does not interfere with the work of the husband, the concubine is willing to follow the general to the ends of the earth." ”

"Uh...... But...... You have to suffer a lot. ”

"It's okay, those soldiers don't have to endure hardships the same."

"Madame......"

With tears in his eyes, Yang Chengying realized that he was not qualified enough, and forgot that he couldn't let his wife suffer, and just wanted to stay together.

Tian Yingniang understood very well, reached out to hold Yang Chengying's right hand, and used a slight force, expressing her reluctance.

If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

After much deliberation, the plan for building the castle was finalized.

After that, the first step is to make the corresponding personnel arrangements.

First of all, the stability of Golden State City is the top priority.

With Zu Tianshou as the main general of the city, he led Shang Xueli, Shang Kexi and other generals to garrison, and I would rather stay to assist Zu Tianshou.

Mao Yuanyi and Qi Dazhuang continued to make bird guns, and relocated Ning Wan's blacksmith in Port Arthur.

The confluence of the two strands expands the scale of the cast bird's gun.

I also took this opportunity to reorganize the discipline of the craftsmen under Qi Dazhuang, so that the problems of the last time could not arise.

In addition, Yang Chengying sent Zu Tianle to lead a thousand elite soldiers to protect Mao Yuanyi and others to prevent anyone from happening.

Yang Chengying led Sun Yuanhua, Jiang Chaodong, Xu Shang, Su Xiaojing, Peng Haigu and other generals, as well as their soldiers and horses, as well as the families of these soldiers to the north and went to Xintun.

Their nominal coach is Fang Zhenru, so naturally they also went north with them.

After three days of preparation, the army began to move north.

Due to the large number of female dependents in the team and the Hongyi cannon, the marching speed of the whole army was greatly reduced.

Plus the people who accompanied them, and the refugees who took in them along the way.

After three days, we finally arrived at Xintun.

Xintun, east is a high mountain, west is the sea, a river runs through the east and west, is a natural throat point.

Due to the war, the land that had been reclaimed was also deserted.

When these people saw these barren and fertile land, their eyes were full of hope.

The soldiers set up camp by the river, and the women helped their men wash their clothes by the river.

Xintun, which was originally quiet, suddenly became lively.

Yang Chengying, Fang Zhenru and Sun Yuanhua finished inspecting the camp and came to the bank of the Tartar River.

"General, we want to build a steamed bread kiln near the water and burn the bricks of the city wall."

Sun Yuanhua said: "But before burning bricks, the most important thing is to take soil. ”

Then he explained in detail what to do after taking the soil.

Sieve the impurities with a sieve, soak them in the pond, and then drive the cattle into the pond to trample on the raw mud. Then fill the wooden frame with the fine part of the soil in the middle, and scrape the surface with an iron wire bow to make bricks.

"These require a lot of water, and at the end of the kiln, the roof of the kiln is watered. Water vapor interacts with the fire and gas in the kiln through the earthen kiln, and the strong and durable city bricks are made by the action of water and fire. ”

Sun Yuanhua introduced with a smile.

"Then let's go our separate ways, Mr. and General Jiang will lead the people to build kilns, burn bricks, and build new cities, and I will lead the army to guard for you." Yang Chengying said.

"Okay." Sun Yuanhua nodded in agreement.

"As for pacifying the people so that they can live and work in peace and contentment in the vicinity, it depends on the means by which the Fang Patrol is served."

Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Fang Zhenru: "I believe that Fang Xun will not let us down." ”

The military general actually commanded the civil officials, and if there were outsiders present, they would be so angry that they would jump to their feet.

Fang Zhenru had long been used to it, not to mention that it was to deal with the slave chieftain, so he immediately said that there was no problem.

From this day on, the fortification begins!
