Put aside the big stone bridge in advance.
The adults also re-planned the roads in and out of Xiaoan Village.
In other words, building roads.
Yan Yu thinks it’s good for them to take the dirt road now. It’s just that the snow has melted and the snow has melted their feet. It’s nothing. Compared with the cost of road construction, they can tolerate this.
But in other people’s plans, building roads and building walls were joint projects, so Yan Yu had to think more about it.
Wubao was established during the Yunfeng period. The Wang family was in rebellion and wars broke out. The wealthy families built Wubao walls to survive, and were banned in subsequent dynasties.
High walls, arrow towers, watchtowers...build fortifications against mountains and docks on flat ground to defend themselves.
As shown in the picture, the defensive high wall built by Xiao'an Village not only includes the villagers' residence, but also Yan Zongqi's new military camp.
There are also small prints indicating that a deep ditch can be dug outside the high wall to divert water for protection.
This is a village fortress?
No!
This is a layout based on a small border town.
At this time, I have to sigh, this group of prisoners is really easy to use. If nothing else, they are really good at reading people's hearts.
Give Xiaoan Village the full sense of security it wants.
Whether it can be realized or not is beyond their scope of thinking.
Are people doing their best? All done!
But this ideal sketch is far from reality and cannot be implemented at all.
Because the imperial court prohibited construction, these guys also happened to have a name.
Build a large-scale fortification in the name of the military camp on the side of Xiao'an Village.
In other words, her father can apply for the construction of a military camp, and with his reputation, he can also apply for a grant...
If someone asks why a whole village lives in it?
Yan Yu followed their train of thought and was able to come up with a very reasonable explanation in just a moment.
In order to better serve the military camp!
These criminals are really good at it!
The construction of roads inside and outside the village not only facilitates the travel of villagers, but also facilitates the transportation of stones and other materials.
Yan Yu thought about building roads.
In addition to building roads, the adults also redesigned the drying ground in Xiaoan Village and proposed ideas for renovating the cellars of each house.
However, they wanted to build a tunnel like a spider web connecting each house to the mountain for escape. They also wanted to build a shelter on the mountain where they could rest while going up the mountain on weekdays.
The same thing, they are all projects that cannot be implemented in the short term. "Mom, look at this." Yan Yu handed the pieces of paper for remodeling the cellar to Li Xuemei.
Li Xuemei looked through it carefully and laughed.
"These people are really good!" Yan Yu sighed with emotion: "I saw them enclosing all the general camps and villages into high walls and didn't think much about it, but when I saw this tunnel, I understood that these people knew that we There is still a war going on in Guanzhou, yes, and there is a group of Xizhou soldiers detained at the quarry. They have been officials and committed crimes, and they are very clever. They can probably guess what they heard from a few words."
"I asked why it was designed like this. This doesn't look like a rural village. It turns out it's not for us, but for themselves." Yan Yu laughed and said, "Dad wrote a letter saying he would reply tomorrow, which is great! Give it to him then. Look at this, and this, good guy, our village is full of talents now! I heard from Grandpa Kang that those who repaired waterwheels and designed canals used to be adults in the river yamen. Well, they are really professional counterparts. "
"Our dry fields and paddy fields have been cultivated. We only need to irrigate the paddy fields. It will be good if your father comes back. You just have a day or two to rest. If you have any work, leave it to your father and let him do it." Li Xuemei said in a gentle tone. Going out early and coming back late, spending the day immersed in the fields, and at night having to worry about all kinds of things in the village, which is tiring both body and mind. How can a mother not feel distressed.
"It's true that the ground has been planted. Nanny Rong said that in the past two days, she will have to spread some plant ash she mixed. The land will be fertilized with insecticides. Before sowing, another layer of fertilizer must be spread so that the seedlings can grow strong. ." Yan Yu said.
No one in their family knows how to farm, but fortunately they have Aunt Rong, so they don’t have to think too hard. They just do what Aunt Rong tells them to do.
…
Yan Laoer has a particularly good foundation among the people in Huju City.
As soon as it was said that troops would be recruited and added to the city defense army, countless people responded.
This time he was smart and went to Xue Baihu first to ask for payment. Not only did he make up for the money of the brothers in Xiao'an Village and even the militia, but he also paid the recruits' enlistment allowances one by one, without deducting even half a copper.
In addition to money, there are also armors, weapons, horses, food and grass, etc. Yan Laoer did not move. Before moving, he and his friendly troops, that is, the frontier troops of Long Xing Feng Ming, inquired clearly.
Hmph!
Whatever others have, he should have.
In the past few days, Yan Laoer has done nothing else. He spends all day hanging out with the man in charge of the transportation. The latter is very annoying. From top to bottom, in the Guanzhou border army, except for the prince's direct personal bodyguards, who is there? Those who can get full pay.
"I said Mr. Yan, brother Yan, don't follow me anymore. Where can you find out who gets 70% of the salary like you? 70%! If we hadn't defeated Beirong, you I also tossed away a lot of the seized cow and sheep skins. Brother, I will remember your love. Even 50% is too much! What else do you want? You can’t be like this in life. Be content! Be content! Do you understand?!” The adult was excited! The armor on his body was clanging and making a rattling sound.
“Brother, look at you, don’t you blame me wrongly?” Yan Laoer put his hands around the other person’s arm with an honest face. The latter struggled to pull away twice, but looked at him with a dark face.
"How could I not know your difficulties, brother? I am the leader who gets the salary. Who in the whole Guanzhou can compare with me? My new army has just started and has nothing. If it weren't for my brother You, how can I pull together a team so quickly, we all remember it in our hearts!"
Yan Laoer lowered his voice and said: "The grains I exchanged for are all stored in our village. I think I will go back tomorrow to count them. The people around me are not in a hurry. I want to send the ones here first. I just don't know. How are you arranging it here? Have you found a place to store the grain? If you don’t want to worry about it, store it in our village first. My recruit camp is right next to it, so don’t worry about safety."
“…It won’t get mixed up with our food. I’m not boasting. I don’t trust others. I did it all myself. If I pay my brother’s account, I won’t miss it!”
The gentleman raised his eyebrows, understanding the implication, and his eyes immediately filled with joy.
"There's nothing I can't believe about my brother." He changed the subject and said: "The location of your new barracks is really good, so let's put the food aside temporarily, and then I will send someone to let you know how much I need. "
"Brother, look at what happened to our army and horses..." Yan Laoer's face no longer looked honest and honest, but became pitiful: "Those who come in and out here are laughing at us behind our backs. What are they doing? They are riding on mules and donkeys, or else I just run on two legs on the ground. I am a few heads shorter than others. I am just a new recruit. I was so embarrassed at the beginning. How can I get this angry in the future...
And the armor and stuff, it doesn’t matter if you don’t wear it, it doesn’t look like anything, you know we are a regular army, but if you don’t know, you think we are auxiliary soldiers, even the auxiliary soldiers look more decent than us, Brother, I, Yan Er, am a shameless person, look at this, how can I take him out to meet people..."
"Okay, stop inking, I'll help you think of something." I really can't stand this Yan Er, he's so talkative, his head is buzzing, and I just want him to leave quickly. (End of chapter)
