153. Bamboo tendon city wall
The Han army really did not stay, and after picking up Zhang Yi's family, he hurriedly returned to Liaodong, and the lieutenant was afraid, afraid that these people under his command would not want to leave after a while, so he hurriedly evacuated.
Wuhuan began to build the city, and Zhang Qi didn't want to keep them and Zhang Yi's family, so he let them leave, but before leaving, Zhang Qi let them take away 10,000 cattle and sheep, 3,000 horses, and cloth and silk people, which was his dowry for Qinghua.
In the face of Zhang Qi's generosity, Zhang Guang accepted it without hesitation, in these days in Wuhuan, he talked very happily with Qinghua, Qinghua was not the fierce woman he expected, but knowledgeable and courteous, so the last trace of resistance in his heart was gone, and he was not resisting his father's matchmaking words.
And when Zhang Chan was leaving, she glanced at Zhang Qi faintly, she clearly knew that the handsome talent her father said was him, but unfortunately she was not taken aback, but let the other party marry her sister.
The departure of the Han army, Zhang Guang and others made Wuhuan move at high speed, especially the forty or fifty thousand prisoners brought back, who were arranged to work after a short night's rest.
The excavation foundation, which is the foundation of the city wall of Wuhuan City, is not wide, only two meters, which is the thickness of the concrete of the outer wall.
In the discussion between Hu Ling and Zhang Qi, the wall of Wuhuan City was 12 meters thick and 14 meters high, and the thickness of the city wall was sandwiched, that is, two sections of inner and outer walls were sandwiched between a section of earth wall.
The concrete thickness of the inner and outer walls is two meters each, and the middle is sandwiched with eight meters of dirt walls.
There is no corresponding pouring equipment, and all the internal and external walls are constructed in stages, and two meters and two meters have to be repaired upward, which also makes the landfill of the middle soil wall much more convenient.
The excavated soil can be piled up directly inward, and the first phase of the two-meter wall will be tamped when it is completed.
Such a height of the building, the need for the skeleton is indispensable, the use of steel bars is too luxurious, Zhang Qi can not build at present, so the use of bamboo bars, although this will reduce the service life of the city wall, but can make the concrete city wall has far more than the strength of the city wall in this era, and it is cheap.
Bamboo, which is not uncommon in the Northeast in this era, is still at the end of the warm period, compared to the Northeast where there are still small varieties of bamboo growing in the cold period, there are many varieties in this era.
What is the Warm Period? To put it simply, during this period, the north was livable, while the south was hot and miasma, and in this era, even Dongting Lake, the land of fish and rice, was still a wild place, and Changsha was used to exile officials.
In the king's tent.
Zhang Qi looked at the records of expenditures recorded these days.
Hu Ling and several managers stood on the side.
After a long time, Zhang Qi closed the notebook: "I have been doing well these days, although the consumption of food has increased, but this is also due to the increase in work intensity." ”
"Now my focus is not here, so Wuhuan still has to be managed by you, what I can do is to ensure your logistics as much as possible.
They all came out of the kingdom of God, and I think you know that food has never been a problem for us, so go ahead and do it, as long as we can maintain law and order, and health problems, I will take care of the rest. ”
Zhang Qi's words made Hu Ling and the others breathe a sigh of relief, in the rest of the month when Zhang Qi went out, Wuhuan's food consumption increased by one or two times, and the stored grain plus the production of cattle and sheep was enough for Wuhuan to survive the winter, but with the start of the work on the city wall, the food became only enough to last for two or two months.
And this time, Zhang Qi brought back forty or fifty thousand captives, so that the consumption of food increased sharply, and Hu Ling had no choice but to bring someone over to inquire about Zhang Qi.
However, the king's vision is always long-term, and in the face of food consumption, he accepts it all, which makes Hu Ling and the others relax their somewhat tense hearts these times.
"Still."
Zhang Qi returned the record book to Hu Ling, and with a "but" sound, the hearts of these people were lifted again.
"Self-sufficiency is also important, Wuhuan as a key point in the face of the Han and Xiongnu, the output of food is a little tired, I can recognize, but fatigue does not mean that it cannot produce at all.
Therefore, in the next period of time, in addition to completing the construction of the city wall, they also have to arrange people to go out for fishing and hunting, and such good fishing and hunting resources in this land cannot be in vain. ”
The heels of Hu Ling and the others couldn't help but lean together, stand in a standard upright posture, and then responded to the 'promise'!
They left, Zhang Qi sat in the royal tent and listened to the noise outside, in just one year he completed the accumulation from scratch, and now he has the capital to join the competition, and a bit of pride swells in his heart.
The sound of the trumpets and shouts outside now turned into a rousing drum beat in his ears, lifting his heart.
"The next step, increase the number of soldiers, gradually encroach on Liaodong and Liaoxi, get more population, increase the level of power to get more cavalry commanders, the biggest trump card in the hand is still those silent soldiers, with them, there is a glimmer of life in difficult battles!"
Zhang Qi squinted his eyes and was full of energy, and after a while, he walked out of the royal court and went to Wuhuan's granary.
Let Hu Ling arrange for people to observe, the focus is on those captives, in the sound of prayer, in the thick prayers, Zhang Qi disappeared out of thin air, and then he appeared with countless grains and grains.
In order to allow Wuhuan to devote himself to construction, Zhang Qi reserved three million dinars for emergency this time, and all the other dinars were emptied, bringing out enough food for 100,000 people to eat for a month.
What is the concept of enough for 100,000 people to eat for a month, if a person consumes one pound of grain a day, then 100,000 people need to consume 100,000 catties, a month, three million catties, 1,500 tons.
The grain was piled up like a mountain, so that those who had been captured were completely brainwashed by the teachings of the gods, and they did not need to spread it much, and they now believed in the gods more than anyone else.
Zhang Qi once again took out an insurance for Wu Huan, so that the danger that the captives might cause was minimized.
After completing this, he left lightly under the adoring gaze of the believers.
The rest can be handed over to Hu Ling and them, arrange for someone to put the grain into the warehouse, Hu Ling They are not stupid, most of the arrangements are prisoners, after seeing them with their own eyes, plus they have already become potential Zhang Qi's people in the future, as long as they save enough work, they can restore the identity of ordinary people.
After leaving, Zhang Qi returned to the king's tent and entered the world of riding and chopping again.
Just now when he was preparing the food, someone had already reported to him, the three-masted galleon in the dockyard.
It's done!
