"I remember." Meng Changqing said, "Although the time is tight and the task is heavy, there is only so much strength and energy for people, and if they are overworked, they will not be efficient." ”

Wei Fangyun stood up and walked two steps, and suddenly remembered that there was a very important thing that he hadn't asked Meng Changqing, "I didn't inquire much about your affairs in the capital, I don't know if you have studied with the Ministry of Engineering in the capital over the years." ”

"Nope." Meng Changqing replied very neatly.

"Then how dare you!" Wei Fangyun was almost stunned by himself, why did he faint when he saw that official document.

"There is no such thing in the world." Meng Changqing said, "Even people who have built the walls of the palace may not be able to build the walls of Beishan County." ”

Wei Fangyun took a big breath, "What you said makes sense, but those who want to build the city wall must at least know what the structure of the city wall is like and how to build it so that the city wall will not collapse." ”

"I know that." Meng Changqing said, "Uncle, I have been a prince companion for seven years, and I still learned something from the prince. ”

"There's no other way but to trust you now."

"Uncle, this matter can't be handled, I'll come and see you."

Wei Fangyun waved his hand, "No, we will have to put our heads together when the time comes." ”

Meng Changqing took out a long cloth bag from the sleeve pocket of his official uniform.

"What is this?"

Meng Changqing opened the seal and took out the paper rolled inside, "It's the drawing of the city wall." ”

Wei Fangyun took it and looked at it, and found that her drawings still looked quite like that.

Generally speaking, the walls of the girder are made of rammed earth as the interior, with bricks on the surface and horse roads inside.

However, some of the city walls of the border pass, the outer wall remains unchanged, and the inner wall will be changed to a slope, which saves man-hours and is easy to build, and secondly, it is conducive to soldiers to quickly climb the wall in wartime, this kind of wall is called the war horse wall.

The drawings given by Meng Changqing are ordinary city walls and war horse walls.

Dimensions and distances are indicated. The city wall is six and a half fathoms high, the lower part is three fathoms wide, the upper part is two and a half fathoms wide, and a war horse wall is built every four miles.

"Initially, it's rammed earth walls." Meng Changqing said, "Wait for it to be connected to the city wall of Hongjia County, and then make the masonry part of the appearance." ”

Wei Fangyun nodded, "It's a bit of a plan." Child, let me ask one last time, do you have the ability to do a good job in this matter to you?

If you say yes, then I won't let anyone else point fingers.

But if you feel too busy, I can ask the flower lord from Hongjia County to help you. ”

"Thanks to my uncle's kindness, I was able to handle this well." Meng Changqing followed up and asked, "Is Hongjia County okay lately?" ”

"This year's Jie Maru doesn't know what went crazy, most of the Yan army has been transferred to deal with them, so Hongjia County is fine for the time being."

"In that case, then transfer some soldiers from Hongjia County to borrow them for me." Meng Changqing said, "I lack guards." ”

"No problem, if you don't say I'll transfer it from that side too." Wei Fangyun said, "It's not early, if Beishan County is fine, you can stay in the house to rest, and take the official document of conscription to Yangmen County tomorrow morning."

If you want to borrow the land of Yangmen County, you have to say hello to Lord Mao out of politeness. ”

Meng Changqing stayed in Liangzhou Mansion for one night, and after many days, he finally went to bed.

It's a pity that this bed is uncomfortable, and after the soup woman was cold in the middle of the night, she was woken up by freezing. In this kind of place, the kang is the king's road, and when her city wall is built and she becomes the county yamen, she must make a kang for herself.

She pressed all her clothes on the quilt, turning over and over until dawn.

Bafang handed the hot cake to Meng Changqing, "Young master, you really said it, the prefect's yamen really doesn't give food." ”

"If you want to eat here, I'm afraid you'll have to wait two months." She rolled up the bread and ate it in a few bites.

"Lord Meng." Li Ting stood at the door of the room, "My subordinates will go to Yangmen County with you." ”

Meng Changqing patted off the crumbs on his hand and tightened the belt on the outside of his padded jacket, "Let's go." ”

She passed by Yangmen County several times, but she never went to the county government of Yangmen County.

Now I followed Li Ting to the door, and saw that although it was not big, it at least had a wall and a roof, and a window and a door.

After the official report, Mao Chunfang came quickly, "Master Meng, Li Zhutou, the two of you came really early!" ”

Li Ting didn't stay long, and left after sending the official document.

Mao Chunfang looked at the official document and sighed again and again, "It's not that I'm complaining, there have been too many labors in the past few years, and the people's lives are really not good." Now that it is levied again, I am afraid that many people will run to the mountains. ”

"Master Mao, if those three conditions are posted together, will anyone still run?"

"It's one thing what the government says, and it's another thing what the people think." Mao Chunfang said very practically, "I knew at a glance that these three were proposed by your little Meng.

Let's start with the second point, if you let the women go, how many women are willing to go to such a mixed place? They don't want to go themselves, and their husbands don't feel comfortable with them being in that kind of place.

And then this third, four hours? There has never been such a thing, and no one will believe it. ”

Meng Changqing said, "Whether they believe it or not, these three articles still have to be written on the notice." ”

"Of course."

"Master Mao, there is one more thing, I want to borrow the open space next to your city wall."

Before Meng Changqing mentioned this, Mao Chunfang had already nodded, "I know that it has been written in the official document sent by Lord Futai."

If the city wall of Beishan County is completed, it will be of great benefit to me, don't worry, those things are placed here with me. I'll be sure to show you. ”

"Thank you, Lord Mao."

"The same thing is for the imperial court, Lord Xiao Meng doesn't have to be like this, if there is a place where I can help, even if you speak, I will never refuse."

Meng Changqing was riding on the horse and still thinking, what was Mao Chunfang's kindness to her?

Thinking about it, I think anything is possible.

When the fast horse passed the old site of the city wall, Meng Changqing glanced at the dangerous mountain.

Wait, wait until the walls are fenced off, and then come and clean up here.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Meng Changqing immediately went into the stove room to find food.

She knew that there must be food leftovers in the stove room, and every time she cooked, Meng Changqing asked the cooks to cook more, preferring to have leftovers than let the people who worked not have enough to eat.

Besides, it's such a cold day now, the rest won't be bad, just eat the next meal.

If you want to eat anything else, there is nothing but millet rice.

The leftovers were served in clay pots, which were still warm.

Meng Changqing gave a few points to the people who followed her, "Pad your stomach first, and you can have lunch for a while." ”

There were only three small benches in the stove room, Meng Changqing occupied one, Chu Mufeng and Wang Xun each occupied one, and the others could only sit on the ground.

"It's really warm in here, and as soon as the stove is lit, there is heat coming out of the wall." Xi Bei touched the wall with the bowl in one hand and the other hand, "This is just three pots, and when all the pots here are used in the future, how will they be hot?" ”
