In the afternoon, Su Ming came to Ma Xingwang again, and Ma Xingwang followed Su Ming to walk around Erweibao.

Su Ming told Ma Xingwang which buildings in Erweibao are old buildings before planning, which are new buildings after planning, and what new functions each building has.

From the construction of sewers in the fort to the design of the fortifications of the city wall, Su Ming said in great detail.

Ma Xingwang also gave some opinions from time to time, he saw Su Ming's many strange ideas, and admired Su Ming even more, if these two Weibao were built according to Su Ming's ideas, the defense would be several points stronger than he imagined.

"Eighth master, the four villages outside the city will inevitably extend to Erweibao little by little in the future, I saw in the morning that the roads built by the workers are very straight, and very wide, and it is not a problem to pass six carriages at the same time, is there anything special about this?" Ma Xingwang doesn't want anything else now, since Su Ming asked him to watch it, he will take a good look, if he returns to Jinshanwei, he will tell Yao Qianhu what he can say, as for whether Yao Qianhu listens or not, it is not his business.

"Master Ma also noticed it. The four villages outside the city are all facing the city gate, and if the population of Erweibao increases in the future, we can use the city wall built by Erweibao as an inner city.

In the past few days, I have also found that there are people setting up stalls on the side of the road to sell things, which is very good. After the second Weibao people are more, these stalls will definitely be more and more, and slowly these places will become the new prosperous area of Erweibao, and finally with the four main roads as the two main lines, the new branch lines will be established on both sides, and the time will come even if we do not build the outer city wall, the second Weibao will become more and more prosperous with the increase in population. Su Ming replied.

To accommodate all four villages within the city wall, how big will the future of Erwei Castle be in Su Ming's heart?

The length and width of the city is more than 10 miles, which must not accommodate hundreds of thousands of people? Could it be that Su Ming wants to build another Nanjing City?

Su Ming knew what the location of Erweibao would look like in 500 years, and it was one of the most prosperous areas in the world. As long as the Ming Dynasty opens up maritime trade in the future, what is it difficult for him to build a large port in the eastern sea and surpass Nanjing City?

There is no shortage of population in Daming today, what is lacking is technology to improve productivity, and as a traverser, the last thing that is missing in his mind is these, and he can take out some of them to let the whole world digest for a period of time.

"The eighth master has good ambitions, but the imperial court will never allow the construction of a big city in a location like Erweibao." Ma Xingwang said.

Emperor Jiajing wanted to give up the castle in the coastal 50 miles several times to prevent the pirates from becoming more and more powerful, and the area north of Hangzhou Bay, there were basically only military households along the coast, and ordinary villages could not be seen, which showed that the imperial court was afraid of pirates and pirates.

If there is a giant city by the sea, isn't that a springboard for pirates? The Japanese gathered troops to seize the city, robbed them all, if the heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty came, they would flee, and then kill them back when the heavy troops left, and it was impossible for the imperial court to keep a large number of troops here, unless the imperial court completely opened up the maritime business.

Ma Xingwang knew that this was absolutely impossible, and imperial power was involved, unless the Ming Dynasty had the courage to cut his wrists and reform.

"The imperial court will not agree to build a giant city here, but what if it is built?" Su Ming asked with a smile.

"I really admire the courage of the eighth master!" Although Ma Xingwang said this, what he thought in his heart was that Su Ming was too true.

If Su Ming built a giant city here, not to mention that he didn't have that ability, after it was completed, the imperial court would not only regard him as a thorn in his side, but Wang Zhi, Xu Dong and others would not allow Su Ming to snatch food from them.

I don't know how much courage it takes to do something like this. Zhejiang and Fujian, Guangdong Nanhai City, that is the result of hundreds of years of struggle of the great family, the imperial court is difficult to issue half of the order, there are too many things involved, Ma Xingwang is an official in Fujian, he is the closest person to the county order of Shaxian County, he has been in charge for more than ten years, and he knows much more than ordinary people.

"Huh! Master Ma will slowly know in the future that in fact, the imperial court is not as unshakable as you think, and the pirates are just a plate of loose sand for profit, and the family does not have many principles to follow the trend.

The most powerful thing in the world is actually the people's hearts, just as the common people occupy the vast majority, and any difficulties in the world will become easier when they grasp the hearts of the people. Su Ming said with a smile.

"Then Eighth Master, do you think you can control the hearts of the people?" When Ma Xingwang said this, he also felt that he was becoming more and more crazy under the influence of Su Ming, but he was educated in Confucianism and obtained the name of Xiucai.

"Who knows!" Su gave Ma Xingwang an inexplicable smile, which made Ma Xingwang's heart go up and down.

And Su Ming turned his head and couldn't help but smile, although Ma Xingwang didn't talk much, he was very tactful, he was really talented. Today, when the other person talks to himself like this, it shows that the other person is already thinking seriously, and this is enough.

When he returned to his yard in the evening, Ma Xingwang originally went to see Chen Jian and chat with him, but when he came to the gate of Chen Jian's courtyard and heard the noise of drinking inside, he stopped.

With a long sigh, Ma Xingwang turned his head, he found that he had no one who could speak except Su Ming, that Yao Qianhu only cared about the immediate interests, and would never think too much. Chen Jian is just a tendon, it's okay to fight and kill, and it's too difficult for him to tell him this.

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Xingwang was woken up early by Su Ming, and he followed Su Ming to the training ground behind the fort to watch the soldiers train today.

The intensity of the morning exercise in Erweibao is very high, the two flag owners each bring their own five small flags each 56 people to fight, although everyone uses wooden knives and guns, bows and arrows are also headless, but the two sides are still very fierce.

The morning exercise lasted for two hours, and although Ma Xingwang didn't know the military formation, he could still see that the strength of both sides was not weak, because he saw that all the soldiers were young people, and they were trained very hard, which was much stronger than the soldiers who didn't have enough to eat in Jinshanwei.

What surprised Ma Xingwang was that Erweibao actually had more than 30 pairs of leather armor and more than 60 pairs of cloth armor, which made the entire team almost have armor.

It's not that if you are a first, you must be elite, then you need to follow the quality of the food, keep up with the training, and go through more training. Second, the training of the soldiers of Weibao is enough, and the food should not be bad, so it is only a matter of time before they become elite.

Ma Xingwang was surprised, Chen Jian and the others who came to see the training with him were also surprised, the 56 elites under Yao Qianhu, in fact, there were more than 20 people in armor, this elite is not just about consuming food, giving good weapons and equipment, if you don't give him a silver posterior, the soldiers will not train hard, desperately kill the enemy, seeing the training of the soldiers in Erweibao, Chen Jian was not in a good state for a morning.

After the morning exercise, Su Ren invited Ma Xingwang and Chen Jian and others to have breakfast with the soldiers, looking at the rice porridge and white flour steamed buns that everyone ate, and everyone also had a bowl of stew, not only fish and meat in the dish, but also a few slices of pork, which was unimaginable in the Jinshanwei Town military camp.

It is said that poor military households are poor military households, how can they be soldiers if they are not poor? The soldiers of Erweibao broke their understanding, ate breakfast and rested for half an hour, but they were still training, and Ma Xingwang and the others continued to watch.

If you don't go, you can't do it! Now that they eat and drink other people's people, how can they not worry about the elite soldiers of Erweibao, Su Ren is just invited, if they don't sell face, who knows if they will be unhappy.

The morning training is marksmanship training, which is much more boring than the military formation trade, but it is the most important thing for the soldiers. Su Ming transferred 9 of the 13 guards outside the fort, a total of more than 70 people to train with everyone, and he also practiced with the escort team and the large army.

Judging from everyone's training attitude, the soldiers of this intensity of practice have been adapted. Su Ren was at the front, everyone followed behind him, looking at Su Ren's proficiency in spears, Chen Jian knew that if he was one-on-one, he was not Su Ren's opponent, and he originally looked down on Su Ren in his heart.

Yao Qianhu asked Chen Jian to bring people to protect the salt farm, not to be the uncle, Su Ren personally participated in the training as the head of a hundred households, how could he, as the banner owner, not move, so he took his soldiers to train together.

Su Ming saw that Chen Jian finally came in, he couldn't help nodding slightly, he had already asked people to inquire about the situation of Ma Xingwang, Chen Jian was more difficult to solve, but as long as he brought the soldiers into the training team, Su Ming was sure to bring that group of small flags over, and he could also change Chen Jian's opinion.

After training for more than an hour at noon, everyone felt that their bones were hurting, and when everyone had eaten lunch, they were all disbanded on the spot, and Su Ming gathered all the people above the small flag and told everyone to conduct a Japanese landing drill tomorrow.

Ma Xingwang heard Su Ming talk about the Japanese landing drill, but Chen Jian had never heard of it. The drills were all random, the guards didn't know, and the soldiers wouldn't be able to receive the task from Xiaoqi until early tomorrow morning, Su Ren invited Ma Xingwang and Chen Jian to watch it together tomorrow, and both of them found it interesting and agreed.

In the afternoon, Ma Xingwang and Chen Jian went back to the courtyard together, Ma Xingwang saw that Chen Jian seemed to be in a bad mood, and he also knew that today he saw the military strength of Erweibao, and his heart was very different.

"Master Chen! Come sit with me for a while? Ma Xingwang said to Chen Jian.

"Let's go where I am! Last time, I still had some good wine unfinished, so I asked people to go to the inn to buy some appetizers. Chen Jian said.

asked his men to go to buy vegetables, Chen Jian took out a jar of good wine and poured a bowl for each of them, and then took a bowl and drank it himself.

"Master Chen likes wine so much, I didn't see it before." Ma Xingwang looked at Chen Jian's appearance, thinking that the other party was not stupid and incurable.

"I didn't expect that the military strength of these two Weibao would be so strong, if the city wall is built, then the strength of Erweibao will definitely increase a lot, even if it is Yao Qianhu at that time, I am afraid that there will be no way to take them!" Chen Jian said with some sorrow.
