Tong Guan and Cai You didn't dare to attack the favored Taoist officials easily, and Zhao Liangsi, a person who returned to the south, could only swallow bitter water in his stomach when he faced Yin Xiaolou, who mocked him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He, Zhao Liangsi, was not an open-minded character in the first place, so that the black face was even more ugly. Even the Shengjie soldiers who were ordered to protect him, as well as the clever subordinates sent by Tong Guan to serve him, looked at Zhao Xiu's stinky face, and subconsciously stayed away from him.

However, although Zhao Liangsi's face was ugly, his eyes still turned quite flexibly. If he was still thinking about how to form a good Liao State guard, share more of the great achievements of Zhuoyi Erzhou to the Song Dynasty, and pave the way for his future career in the Great Song Dynasty, he put all the spirit of hanging on the scene along the way, and his eyes were even more chaotic!

As a southern official who once achieved the position of Guangluqing of the Liao State, Zhao Liangsi's grasp of the reality of this northern country is far from being comparable to those Song envoys who traveled all the way to enjoy exotic scenery. Under the continuous attacks of the Jurchens, how much of a blow did the Liao State take, and he was even more clear-

The important towns in the north of the Liao State fell one after another, and hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops were defeated by the Jurchen strong army with fewer victories, and they were annihilated continuously. Even in the land of Youyan, known as the elite of the Liao Kingdom, the foundation of the Khitan people's rule has been completely shaken. The Changsheng Army, which is currently entrenched in Zhuoyi Erzhou, was formerly known as the Resentment Army, the resentful army that once mutinied in the Liao State's Great War against the Jurchens!

Now Ye Luchun, who established himself as the emperor in Yanjing City, fled in panic because of the mutiny of the resentful army, so that he became sick with palpitations. Seeing that Yelu Chun was addicted to the emperor, he was about to kick his legs to see Yelu Abaoji, but he still couldn't make any radical moves against the Han army that changed its name to Changsheng Army, but instead allowed them to guard Zhuoyi Erzhou, which was on the southern barrier of Yanjing, and even had many tricks.

The once multiplied state has now fallen to this point, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the end of the dynasty.

Not to mention, as the Jurchen army is advancing step by step, how many more people have a heart in the territory of Liao, and how many banners have been raised-

The Bohai people rebelled, some people raised the name of the Bohai royal family more than 100 years ago and built the title of king, and some simply defected to the Jurchens, as if they started the national integration as a mature Jurchen.

The Zahu tribes on the steppe have rebelled, and these Zahu tribes on the steppe have always had a keen sense of power. The Khitan emperors continued to make bowls in all directions, and most of the camps throughout the year were placed on the grasslands and on the banks of the Yalu River, in order to deter these Zahu tribes. The regular reduction and exploitation are also to prevent the appearance of a Yelu Abaoji-like figure among these miscellaneous beards.

But even so, after the rise of the Jurchens, these miscellaneous beards are hyenas that follow behind the beasts, and they will never miss the opportunity to take a bite in the softest place of the old head wolf of the Liao Kingdom.

Even the Khitans, who used to look down on Han the most, are now generally ready to move.

Needless to say, the local Haoqiang defended themselves with Wubao, and the southern officials of Yanjing tried to unite the Song people in the south and the Jurchens in the north, and they were ready to package the Yelu family and sell it at a good price. Even the disciples of Buddhism who should theoretically be pure-hearted and have few desires, now there are many who have dropped the wooden fish, picked up the precept knife, killed the Liao State guards and coerced the homeless people into an army!

In such a chaotic situation, which can be called the end of the dynasty, a Taoist official who flattered the lord of the people, and a group of Taoist priests who did not learn and did not know how to do it, where did the capital come from, and could follow Su Zhang's argument and easily persuade Zhuo Yi Erzhou to surrender to the Song Dynasty?

I can't say that these Taoist priests have dealings with the rebels, thieves, and even rebels in the north. Otherwise, where did this strange military banner come from? What is the explanation for those brave men who are majestic and have excellent equestrian skills, who are more like warriors than like Taoist priests?

What's more, whether it is a soldier or a thief, how serious the damage is in the places he passes through, he, the great Liao Guanglu Siqing, who has witnessed the Jurchen war, is very clear.

As long as we grasp this point and get some evidence of banditry, there will be lawsuits to fight in Bianliang in the future.

It's just now, let's see, and see, just see how long these Taoist officials can run rampant!

With this idea in mind, Zhao Liangsi's eyes looked in all directions more diligently.

On both sides of the road, there are patches of cultivated land. Between the layers of snow, you can still see some undulating lines of ridges and ridges. The harvested straw stretched out some yellowed stumps in the snow, like the last wizened fingers stretched out to the sky by the homeless people frozen to death.

Just looking at the remaining straw in these fields, Zhao Liangsi probably came to a conclusion - if the people of Shengdou want to survive the cold winter in the land of Yanyun, collecting fuel to make a fire to keep warm is an indispensable part. In addition to firewood, straw is also an important fuel, and even dried cow and horse manure is collected to make fires.

But the fact that so much straw has been preserved in these fields only shows that the owners of these fields have not even collected these straws, which are extremely precious in winter.

He enjoyed the winter in Bianliang City: as soon as winter came, the city was full of vendors selling hot water for washing their faces and hot drinks to dispel the cold. Needless to say, the charcoal used by the rich and noble families is carefully fired from the famous mountains on all sides, and is modified and polished by famous craftsmen into patterns of birds and beasts, and there is no peculiar smell when burning. Even the ordinary people have those charcoal that are shaped like black stone and cheap enough to use, and even Kaifeng Prefecture will regularly distribute charcoal money for relief. Even in the poorest homes, firewood from woodcutters is often burned under the stove, not straw.

But the winter enjoyment of Bianliang is only because the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo has accumulated too much wealth, even with the wealth of the Song Kingdom, the luxury of Bianliang can only be an unrepeatable outlier.

Zhuozhou is obviously not such a rich place, so looking at these straws poking their heads out of the snow, it can only show how many households are in exile in the road, and most of them have filled in the ravines.

Secretly added a charge of "causing the Yan people to disperse" to Xu Xuanling, and Zhao Liangsi looked towards Zhuozhou City, which was already in sight.

The rammed earth and brick city wall of Zhuozhou City, although it also shows the appearance of being in disrepair, there are still some traces of rush reinforcement from a distance. On all sides of the city, there are many people surging, and the small carts carrying soil come and go, as if they are deepening the moat.

In the land of Yanyun in the deep winter, the soil is frozen, and the shovel and pickaxe knock it down, smashing out a shallow pit, which can shake people's hands blood. Not to mention the construction in winter, fuel and water are the real places to burn money, if it were not for the abundant materials of the peaceful world, such a big battle would not be able to be raised in leisure.

Now the four fields of Zhuozhou are empty, even if a large number of displaced people gather in Zhuozhou City, it is not suitable to do such a thing with Zhou Bofu's wrist and the accumulation of Zhuozhou City. Once the displaced people are forced to go to work, and the food and cold clothes cannot keep up, then in the blink of an eye, a large number of displaced people will freeze and starve to death.

And this is another ready-made crime!

Zhao Liangsi has always had the ability to read and have strong knowledge, and at this time, he had already started a draft in his heart. The crime of befriending the rebels, as long as the other party insists that it is to launch "the people of Yanyun know the righteous to return", then the attack will not be painful, not to mention that Xu Xuanling has always been respected by Zhao Ji. However, the rush for quick success and quick profit has displaced the people of Yanyun and moved around the ravines, but it is greatly contrary to the benevolence of today's officials, and it is not consistent with the peaceful and prosperous era of Fengheng and Yuda, but it is an excellent place to speak.

It is best to find Yashan Danqing again, and render the tragic situation of the displaced people in Zhuoyi Erzhou to ten times or a hundred times, and a miserable picture scroll has an impact on such a romantic son of poetry and painting as the official family, and the impact is not as great as ordinary!

When Wang Anshi changed the law, the prison officer Zheng Xia drew a picture of the homeless people, which made Wang Anshi's dignified and important ministers disgraced, and he had to resign and apologize, and the new law was also fatally sniped at the most critical moment. Today, Zhao Liangsi is going to the exile again, who knows if he will have a surprising winning effect?

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is that the brushwork of this homeless picture must be precise, and it cannot be enshrined by the Hanlin Painting Academy. Otherwise, with Zhao Ji's pickiness in appreciating paintings, he will throw it away at a glance and start the fire, what else is there to talk about pulling Xu Xuanling off the horse?

The train of thought is a little wrong at this point, Zhao Liangsi's heart is just to arrange the painting academies and edicts that he has heard of one by one, his eyes wandering, but he is slightly away from the city in front of him that is gradually entering his field of vision.

But just by a glance, Zhao Liangsi could also be sure that Zhuozhou City was no longer the Zhuozhou City he had passed by many years ago.

From a distance, you can see that the blue-gray city wall stands tall there, and it is a lot different from the rammed earth and brick dwarf city in Zhao Liangsi's impression.

And those towering lookouts on the city wall, with a dull color like bluestone, do not seem to be the products that have existed in Zhao Liangsi's memory.

What's more, in his memory, Zhuozhou City is the kind of square city that is no more decent, but the city wall in front of him clearly has an angular protrusion, like a double-petaled but sharp flower, neither coquettish nor soft blooming on this land of deep suffering.

If Zhao Liangsi could look down from the sky, he could see that the flower was exactly two squares overlapping, turning into a hexagonal eight-pointed star pattern.

On the city wall directly south of the eight-pointed star pattern, Wang Cong'er was holding his hands behind his back and listening carefully to the explanations of several young Taoist officials: "As a mass-produced building material in the original time and space, cement is actually not a secret in terms of production technology. Mrs. Bixu also knew that the main ingredients of this thing were limestone, clay and a little iron ore powder and gypsum, and it was not difficult to produce except for a few special types of cement that had high technical requirements. This time, we were in charge of the construction of the castle, and we used the specially calcined reinforced cement of the Lihuo Cutting Gym Temple, which is no different from ordinary iron-aluminate cement in terms of composition. But the affinity for magic is not comparable to those of the big roads. Moreover, in terms of hardness, density and corrosion resistance, it is also two to three times higher than ordinary construction cement......"

Speaking of this, Wang Cong'er interrupted him and asked: "The defense array of Zhuozhou City and Yizhou City that we approved was finally determined to be the most reasonable five-party fire array with the most reasonable offensive and defensive effects, but the layout of the five-party fire array does not have much requirement for the traditional rammed earth and masonry city walls, but for the concrete city wall, it is easy to cause damage to the steel bars in the concrete building, and if this problem is not solved, it will bring great hidden dangers to the future city defense." ”

As soon as this question was raised, another Daoist who looked much more stocky nodded hurriedly: "We already have a solution to the problem from the Fire Cutting Courtyard, which can not only perfectly avoid the damage of the flames of the Five Directions Flame Array to the steel bars, but also increase the protection effect of the Five Directions Flame Array by another three percent. It's just that this solution is very expensive, and at present, we can only carry out pilot construction in the key protected areas in the urban construction of Zhuozhou and Yizhou......"

Hearing this, Wang Cong'er said noncommittally: "Tell me, what kind of technology is it? If there is really value in investment, we will consider including it in the preliminary deliberations of the next quarter." ”

As if encouraged by Wang Cong'er's words, the stocky Taoist probe groped in his sleeve, and finally took out a bamboo branch that was yellowed in the green, and explained to Wang Cong'er: "Madam, please see, this is the Dongxiao bamboo recently cultivated by Biyun Qingju in Dongguang Lingxu, although it looks like a bitter bamboo, it is a short bamboo, bamboo tendons like iron, there is almost no bamboo juice in the bamboo tube, and it is extremely elastic, and it is born to be a good product used to refine bamboo swords and other magic weapons." The bamboo sword made of it has a texture like iron, stainless and non-rotten, and the texture is much better than that of ordinary magic swords made of iron. ”

Taking the bamboo branch from the official's hand, Wang Cong'er played with it for a while, and suddenly remembered a bridge collapse accident he had heard about more than ten years ago, and couldn't help frowning: "...... Although this kind of bamboo is good, but I remember that Murong Parrot once promoted the bamboo reinforced concrete technology of replacing steel bars with bamboo tendons among his subordinates for a while? But the kind of bamboo reinforced concrete they made, the life span is not very long, in three or five years, either the anti-corrosion of bamboo tendons is not done well, or the bamboo dries too quickly, detached from the concrete, and does not play any supporting role, as a result, there is a big case of bridge collapse, and it is boiling for a while. Now, don't you have the idea again?"

The stocky Taoist hurriedly waved his hand and responded: "Although the Dongxiao bamboo is as strong as iron and stronger than ordinary steel bars, it is not enough to build the entire outer city wall of Zhuozhou City like this, and cut down the bamboo forest of Biyun Qingju." What we mean is that we only replace the reinforced concrete components with bamboo-reinforced concrete at the important nodes of the five-way fire array, so that the power of Dongyang from the fire can be achieved by using the qi of Dongxiao bamboo armor and wood to promote the power of Dongyang from the fire. ”

"But if you do this, won't Dong Xiaozhu be consumed quickly? Even the damage to the city defense caused by the Five Directions Fire Array is much more serious than before!"
