Chapter 101: Building a City!
It's no wonder that Wen Hao was amazed when he saw the blueprints for the construction of the city,
It's just because Liu Bowen's idea is so perfect that it can be described as impeccable.
The general construction drawings only have the specific orientation and general distribution of the building.
But Liu Bowen's picture from the central hall of the proceedings to the underground drainage facilities, and even the drainage holes of the city wall have been drawn....
This is something that others can't reach.
"Sir, hard work!"
For this reason, Wen Hao bowed deeply to Liu Bowen.
To tell the truth, he was really shocked, if nothing else, Liu Bowen's professionalism alone is worth worshipping.
"My lord, why are you doing this? This is what a courtier should do.....
Seeing Wen Hao bowing, Liu Bowen's heart warmed, first flashed to the side, and then hurriedly returned the salute to Wen Hao.
Throughout the ages, there have not been many people who worship their ministers.
At the same time, Liu Bowen was also very emotional in his heart, thinking that when he fought with the emperor of the Ming and Zhu Dynasty, he was born and died, and the emperor never worshipped!
Compare the two, and make a judgment!
After saluting, Wen Hao looked at this sketch of the construction of the city very seriously.
On the sketch, this city is just drawn in the most central position of the Crouching Tiger Land, impartial, eighty miles away from the Crouching Tiger Pass and eighty miles away from the Flying Dragon Pass.
The castle is 40 miles long from east to west and 20 miles wide from north to south, and it is much larger than the current Luoyang, Kyoto.
After watching for half an hour, Wen Hao straightened up.
This is undoubtedly the most perfect urban construction map, and it is undoubtedly a huge project to build it with the manpower and financial resources of Crouching Tiger Pass.
According to the drawings, the central part of the city also has the inner city.
The amount of bricks and timber used in the construction of these walls alone is astronomical, not to mention what kind of manpower.
In fact, Wen Hao felt a little familiar when he saw this drawing at first glance,
On second thought, isn't this a replica of the Forbidden City on Earth.....
"Sir, this picture is good, but it's just ....." Wen Hao voiced his concerns.
"As long as the lord agrees to this, I will be able to build this city according to the original plan!"
Liu Bowen said with great certainty.
He knew what Wen Hao was worried about, but he had a way to solve all this.
Whether it is the gray bricks used to build the city wall or even the gray tiles that cover the roof, he can make them, and even the glazed tiles for decoration can be made.
Now that there is a whole mountain range behind Crouching Tiger, will you still worry about these things?
Speaking of manpower, Liu Bowen firmly believes that more and more people will enter Crouching Tiger Pass in the future, and it is definitely not just 10,000 now.
I have to say that the five-star strategist is extraordinary,
If it were given to other low-star advisors, first of all, they would not come up with such a complicated city building map, and secondly, there would be a lot of problems on the table.
Instead of being like him, he has even thought of a solution.
"In that case, the matter of building the city will be handed over to Mr!" Wen Hao nodded,
Now that Yu Shan and his five hundred veterans with internal strength are all under Liu Bowen's command, many things must be able to be done.
The most important thing is that Wen Hao really needs a real city.
"Back to the lord, the minister wants to start building the city tomorrow!"
After receiving the affirmation, Liu Bowen bowed.
"Starting tomorrow?
Wen Hao sighed slightly, what is execution, this is execution!
After talking about the construction of the city, just when Wen Hao was about to leave here and go to Crouching Tiger Pass to see Dian Wei, Liu Bowen spoke again with a little embarrassment.
"Lord, Berwyn still has a ..... thing"
"Huh?" Hearing this, Wen Hao raised his eyebrows.
He saw Liu Bowen's embarrassed face, obviously encountering something embarrassing.
For a while, his heart also lifted up, it is obviously not a trivial matter to be able to embarrass a character like Liu Bowen like this.
"Back to my lord, since those people entered the customs, the demand for grain and salt has risen rapidly, and the problem of food can still be solved, but this salt ...... The Han Guanyan is very tightly controlled, and we must think of a long-term plan!"
Liu Bowen said the matter of salt needs with a solemn expression.
"Now it is very difficult for us to buy salt or borrow salt from other princes, and it is very likely that in the end, we will have no salt available in Crouching Tiger Pass!"
"Is it a lack of salt?" Wen Hao was stunned.
He thought it was a big deal? But he didn't expect it to be just a lack of salt.
Here, seeing Wen Hao's expression becoming more and more relaxed, Liu Bowen's eyes instantly widened,
"Lord, this matter is not a trivial matter, now the Han has cut off the salt supply in Qi County, and it will not be ten days...... So we must now buy or borrow from other princes......"
He thought that Wen Hao hadn't heard what had happened, so he simply said it again.
In Liu Bowen's heart, the lack of salt is the biggest thing, and there is no room for carelessness.
"Why buy or borrow? Can't we just do it ourselves?"
Listening to what Liu Bowen said, Wen Hao's eyes widened.
When I was on Earth, as a historian, I would sometimes go out on expeditions, so how to make salt and how to get fresh water were all compulsory courses....
"Do it yourself, return to the lord, this secret recipe for making salt is in the hands of the royal family of the Han Dynasty, and others don't know it at all....and we don't have a salt lake here...."
Liu Bowen didn't know what to say anymore.
Usually, there is no problem with the decisive decision-making of the father-in-law, but why can't he grasp the key point today?
"And I heard from those people that the salt supply in many places is slowly decreasing, obviously the Han royal family has discovered something and wants to seize this lifeline!"
For this reason, Liu Bowen did not forget to add one more sentence.
"Hehe, I see!"
Wen Hao saw Liu Bowen's face flushed with anxiety, and he suddenly felt funny.
Then he also stopped arguing with the explanation, but began to order,
"Yu Shan, you take a dozen soldiers to the bottom of the cliff at the bottom of the mountain and scrape off the white powder for me, the more the better, if it's too thick, even knock down the stones for me!"
Hearing Wen Hao's order, Yu Shan didn't say a word, and left directly with twenty soldiers.
"You guys, go and burn the solid wood with good material with a strong fire, make charcoal, and then grind it into powder!"
Then Wen Hao pointed to several guards next to him.
"By the way, prepare another cauldron for me, five or six buckets of clean water, and seven or eight feet of white cloth!
"You guys, go get me a stone mill and get some hammers ready!"
Seeing Wen Hao's successive orders, Liu Bowen on the side was almost dumbfounded.
He really didn't know what Wen Hao was going to do.
"Back to my lord, we are ......"
"Salt making, didn't you say that no one here can do it, then I'll do it!"
Wen Hao said very casually.
"What? Wait, Lord, you said you could make salt?"
If you don't listen, you will think, and when you hear it, Liu Bowen was directly stunned on the spot.
