This pattern was hand-drawn by Wei Xuan, and although there was no accurate measurement data, with the help of his divine sense, Wei Xuan's proportions were still very well mastered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info From the pattern, you can see the outline of the current Yangyang Castle, the mountains in the west, and the Hanshui in the east, south, and north.

Wei Xuan pointed to the pattern and said: "After the expansion, Xiangyang will be divided into an outer city and an inner city, and the inner city will all be newly built, including the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, the Taishou Mansion, the Yamen of the Three Armies of Ma Bushui, the residences of various civil and military officials, the treasury and the hundred workshops. Today's Xiangyang City will remain in the outer part of the city, including the Xiangyang County Palace, bazaars, shops and inns, and the residences of the common people of the noble clan. ”

In this arrangement, the inner city will not be located in the absolute center of the new Xiangyang, but it will avoid the trouble of demolition and reconstruction of the old city. After all, Wei Xuan only had more than eight years left in this era, and he didn't need to build the city beautifully, as long as it was strong enough to keep his wife and children safe when he was in the world.

According to the pattern, the scale of Xiangyang City has expanded nearly tenfold. Cai Mao knew that this errand was not easy, but he finally managed to get the position of Nanjun Taishou, so he naturally wanted to show his performance, so he straightened his chest and said: "Please rest assured, my subordinates will immediately go to the counties and recruit 100,000 people, and they will definitely live up to their mission!"

In this era, there are no large-scale construction machinery, purely relying on manpower to carry the hand, if you want to build such a large-scale city in a short time, 100,000 people are far from enough, Cai Mao just said an imaginary number. He understands that the government recruits people's husbands, and the people who come to serve not only do not have a single salary, but also have to bring their own food, and if this order continues, he is afraid that it will attract complaints, and it is difficult to say how many people can be recruited in the end.

Wei Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's not a solicitation, but a solicitation." All the people who apply for the recruitment are in charge of food and shelter, and they can receive another 300 yuan per month. ”

Cai Mao was surprised: "Based on three yuan per meal, each person needs six hundred yuan per month." In addition, all kinds of wood, stone, and green bricks cost a lot of money. The treasury is empty, where does this money come from?"

"Copper coins, Wei can't take out that much. Wei Xuan paused, changed his words, and said, "You can only replace it with gold and silver." From now until February next year, it is the time of agricultural slack, you can raise 300,000 people in the seven counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, which will require 180 million yuan per month, and 720 million yuan in April, which is equivalent to 720,000 taels of silver. As for the material, it can be made to open the mountain and take stones, and burn the soil into bricks. However, Wei still has something to explain!"

Cai Mao hurriedly said: "Lord, please speak!"

Wei Xuan said in a deep voice: "All the bricks and stones made must be unified in size, and the source should be indicated for inspection. If there are two that cut corners and are short of catties, Wei will be severely punished!"

This is actually the introduction of the concept of traceability in quality management. As early as the Qin Dynasty, each part of the crossbow was engraved with the name of the craftsman, and once a part went wrong, the craftsman could be held accountable according to the name. In the Qin period, the criminal law was severe, and the result of pursuing responsibility was often to lose the head. Therefore, the dimensions of the various parts on the crossbow of the Qin Shi army were very accurate and could be replaced with each other. This provided great convenience in wartime, and several damaged crossbows could be recombined to form a new intact crossbow to replenish the loss.

Strict traceability may seem laborious, but in essence it is a real savings. Of course, the materials used to build the city wall did not need to be so precise, Wei Xuan just wanted to cultivate a habit of people through this method, and lay the foundation for the future hundred workshops.

Where did Cai Mao understand Wei Xuan's hard work, so she just promised with her mouth.

......

As Wei Xuan expected, it is now the agricultural slack season, and there are no decent entertainment activities in this era, and the people stay at home and have nothing to do, so it is better to participate in the expansion of Xiangyang City, not only to fill their stomachs, but also to earn money. The news spread to the counties, and for a time there were many responders.

However, expanding the city is a hard work, and Wei Xuan only recruits strong laborers. Even so, 300,000 people were quickly filled. After all, the population of China in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had grown to a peak, exceeding 56 million people, and a large county like Nanyang alone had a population of more than 1 million. Jingxiang has a total of seven counties, and it is not difficult to raise 300,000 people under the condition of good treatment.

Just when the expansion project of Xiangyang City began, the spies sent to Luoyang also came back. It turned out that because of a heavy snowfall, Dong Zhuo and the Kanto Heroes could not fight at all, and the two sides only confronted each other inside and outside the Tiger Prison Pass. Dong Zhuo personally led Lu Bu, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to garrison the Tiger Prison, and Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu and other princes of the Eighteenth Route set up a company camp outside the pass for hundreds of miles.

Sun Jian and Yuan Shu both got the news that Changsha and Nanyang were captured by Wei Xuan, and their families were captured. The two of them originally had some small contradictions, but now they can only temporarily abandon their previous suspicions, share the same hatred of the enemy, and make an appointment to return to Xiangyang together, and fight to the death with Wei Xuan, but they were persuaded by Yuan Shao. The two of them lost their foundation, and they lost the supply of money and food, and they had to rely on Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, to dispatch and help, so they had to endure this breath. But the hearts of the two of them are a mess, where do they still have the heart to fight against Dong Zhuo.

In addition, what Wei Xuan didn't expect was that Liu Bei's name also appeared among the princes of the Eighteenth Road, and was not attached to Gongsun Zhan's team, which showed that he had publicly shown the banner of the Han clan, and his ambitions began to show.

In history, Cao Sun and Liu divided the world into three parts, and now due to the birth of Wei Xuan, Cao Cao and his two minor sons have died, and there is nothing to do with the Cao family. And Sun Jian lost Changsha, and now he has become a rootless duckweed, and it is estimated that he will not be able to achieve any results. However, Liu Bei, who was the weakest, and Yuan Shao, who was wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, began to attract Wei Xuan's attention.

According to Wei Xuan's original design, let Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung princes fight to the death, and he took the opportunity to collect Jiangdong and Bashu until he occupied half of the Han Dynasty. Now that Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung princes have not fought, Wei Xuan can only stand still and wait for the opportunity, which also allows him to enjoy a rare period of leisure.

......

Wei Xuan, who was idle, inevitably stayed in the house to accompany his wife and children, and Cai Yan complained: "It's been three months since Ugly'er, and Lang Jun hasn't named him yet." ”

Wei Xuan thought for a while and said, "Just call it Wei Fan." ”

Cai Yan asked, "Is there any excuse?"

Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Wei's son, I don't want him to be earth-shattering, I just want him to live an ordinary and happy life." ”

When he said this, Wei Xuan's heart tugged hard. He really wanted this child to live like an ordinary person, but after nine years, he didn't know if he could return to the baseline time and space, let alone take this child and Cai Yan away.
