Scholars unparalleled
Page 230
The treatment is excellent, and the effect is extremely remarkable. Looking at it now, the people who were originally thin and small are now full of strong muscles, and they are much taller.
The soldiers who have been training in a targeted manner have just grown into big arms and round waists. A single soldier standing there is like a wall stuck there.
In addition to the consumption of food, there are also various meats.
Most of these were bought from foreigners, and some were bought from Han merchants.
At present, there are many chickens and ducks raised in the valley. It seems that there are a lot of chickens and ducks, but it is not enough for everyone.
"Soldiers are still very easy to recruit. The treatment given by my husband is good. There are quite a few people who are willing to serve as soldiers. Just recruiting more people is an expense."
At present, making money is making money, but expenses are also a headache.
After all, in such a city, all kinds of materials are bought, and the expenses are too high.
This is not a small expense of the family, but an expense related to the entire city, so how could it be less?
"Whatever it is, there may be fewer soldiers. If the situation is not good, the Tartars will come this autumn. If there are not enough soldiers to guard, everything will be in vain."
Lu Chensheng knew this truth, but the answer was still firm at the moment.
The current recruitment of soldiers has reached 4000, and training is going on as usual.
It seems that 4000 people are quite a lot, but it is far from enough for such a stretch of city walls on the mountains.
Looking at the construction progress of the city wall, it will take about a little time for all the integration to be completed. At that time, soldiers will be required to patrol the city wall and resist foreign enemies.
Today, there are some soldiers guarding the city wall, but basically they are just standing guard.
"It is necessary to expand the number of soldiers to more than 8000."
Lu Chensheng thought for a while and gave a piece of data.
Guarding the city wall can be guarded by a beacon tower with a dozen soldiers, and it is enough for those who are careful.
Seeing what Lu Chensheng said, Bai Yi nodded in response.
However, soldiers with more than 8000 people will spend a lot more.
"Don't worry, my husband will find a way in terms of money."
Seeing Bai Yi's worried look, Lu Chensheng immediately smiled and said.
Money is not easy to earn, and we can only expand the production of table salt, and produce soap, and perfume is also available, but glass is more difficult to obtain.
But you can also start to try.
If it's just glass, it's not so easy to make, it needs continuous experimental research, and I'm afraid it won't be produced so soon.
But if the glass comes out, it will be a huge profit.
Thinking of this, Lu Chensheng couldn't stop, and immediately found someone to build the workshop first.
According to the previous requirements, the workshops are all concentrated in one place, and the more inside, the more confidential it is. There are soldiers guarding outside, and outsiders can't get close.
The location assigned to the workshop is very large, and immediately after Lu Chensheng gave an order, some craftsmen were ready to build a workshop.
Making soap is relatively simple, just let Qiongyue's people do it.
Things here are arranged in an orderly manner. The people in the valley, relying on their strong physique, have not stopped some projects.
Busy figures shuttled everywhere.
Jiang Guo Huangdu.
Lin Yu was in the garden, looking at the fish wandering below, the embroidery in her hands had stopped for a long time.
Xiao He stood by, silent.
"Young Master Lu, he went to Wudeng City, is the news reliable?"
After a long time, Lin Yu came back to his senses and looked at Xiao He who was at the side and asked.
"Well, the news is reliable. This is what many people said. Some businessmen saw Mr. Lu in Wudeng City with their own eyes. In addition, peach blossom papers and other things have also been spread from Wudeng City, but this place has now been renamed Star Seoul."
Hearing this, Xiao He immediately responded politely from the side.
Lin Yu's beautiful eyes lit up slightly when she heard the words, and she breathed a sigh of relief after all.
"Miss, outsiders say that a scholar can't rebel for ten years, and that Mr. Lu doesn't have the ability to rebel. I'm afraid he will spend the rest of his life in that city of Seoul."
Seeing that his young lady still cared about Lu Chensheng so much, she said cautiously.
She felt that her young lady was waiting for Mr. Lu to succeed in rebelling, and then destroy the imperial capital.
Lin Yu's slender hands, which were about to pick up the needlework, paused slightly at this moment.
Mei Mu looked at her maid at this moment, "You also think that Mr. Lu will not rebel?"
When Xiao He heard this, her little face was full of entanglements. In her opinion, the rebellion was not so simple.
Mr. Lu may have said it casually with some enthusiasm before, but now that his mood has calmed down, he may have given up this idea.
Moreover, up to now, Mr. Lu has not seen any other actions.
It is also possible to say that the other party has no intention of rebelling.
Xiao He didn't speak, but Lin Yu already understood what Xiao He meant.
"Do you think that the scholar who said he was going to fight the Tartars and went straight to the horse would not do it? The reputation of the sword-wielding scholar is not just obtained by killing the enemy once."
Lin Yu lowered her head at this moment, shook her head slightly and said.
Others didn't believe that Lu Chensheng would rebel, but she believed, and she also believed that Lu Chensheng would definitely succeed.
"Miss, the master has sent someone to urge the marriage again..."
Xiao He carefully looked at her young lady.
Lin Yu paused slightly when he heard the words, and then became nonchalant again, "You talk to my father in person, and if your daughter gets married, then tell the story of the previous tip-off with Mr. Lu."
When Xiao He heard the words, she immediately felt helpless, if this matter was told, Miss would still have her life!
This is a blatant threat to the master.
Lin Yu didn't care about it at this moment, she had to wait until Lu Chensheng broke the imperial capital, and then personally congratulate him for revenge.
She didn't want her to become someone else's wife when the other party succeeded in rebelling, and then silently watched him from a distance.
Chapter 376 The City Wall Completed
After spring, the weather gradually gets hotter.
The wall was finally built.
Hearing the news that the city wall was finally completed, Lu Chensheng hurried to the city wall.
Standing by the female wall of the city wall, one can see that the bottom looks like an abyss, deep and steep.
The mountains were originally steep, but now that the city walls are added, it is difficult to attack the city walls even with siege ladders.
The city wall stretched away, forming a huge encirclement circle, which firmly surrounded the valley.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chensheng's face was filled with joy. The city wall was finally built, which also gave him a lot of confidence.
At least there is this city wall, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to attack the city wall.
There is only one gap, and a high city wall has been built there, which can be compared with the city wall beside the mountain range.
At such a height, even if the Tartars wanted to attack the city wall, it would be extremely difficult.
After the other party came, all they could do was siege the city. As long as the people in the city were besieged to the point of desperation, the city would naturally be destroyed unfairly.
Now that the city wall is in place, what is lacking is food.
"This city wall is really majestic. I just went outside the city to take a look. At first glance, it seems that there is a white line on the mountain range."
Bai Yiqiao's face was full of joy, and now she excitedly said to Lu Chensheng.
After hearing that the city wall was built, she was overjoyed and went outside the city to see how majestic the city wall was.
Erecting such a city wall on the mountain range really makes people feel that this is a work of supernatural powers.
Hearing this, Lu Chensheng glanced at Bai Yi, with a strange expression on his face, "Doesn't it look the same in the valley?"
Bai Yi was taken aback when she heard the words, and after thinking about it blankly, she seemed to feel that there was really no need to go out of the valley to see it.
After all, what you see in the valley is no different from what you see outside the valley.
Thinking about it this way, seeing Lu Chensheng looking at herself a little funny, her pretty face blushed slightly.
"This concubine is going out to have a look. If the concubine is the enemy's point of view, how can I break through this line of defense!"
Bai Yi found an excuse, not to mention, this reason is still very good.
As a general, she still has vision.
And when the enemy army came, it was naturally attacked from the outside. It was okay for her to change the angle outside and try to find a loophole.
For this, Lu Chensheng had no way to refute.
"Well, did the lady find any flaws?"
Lu Chensheng kept a straight face, trying not to let himself laugh out loud, and then asked Bai Yi.
"The city wall is too high. It is really not easy for foreign enemies to attack, especially if the nomads do not have the help of siege equipment, it is even more difficult."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi replied seriously.
It's her, who has fought so many battles, but after seeing such a majestic city wall, she still feels extremely tricky.
This kind of city wall can't be taken down even if it is filled with life!
"The only shortcoming is that there is not enough food in the city. If the other party besieges the city, there will be more and more people in the city. If Xinghan City does not have enough food, the less time it will last."
Bai Yi said something.
Lu Chensheng nodded when he heard the words, this idea was with him, so at this moment, Lu Chensheng is already desperately asking Chu Wu to buy food.
Han businessmen, now they come here not to bring some things that foreigners need, but basically to bring food to help transport goods.
Several granaries have been built in the valley, with doors to store grain.
"The matter of food will be resolved."
Lu Chensheng replied at this moment, this matter has always been something he urged.
Bai Yi also knew that she had heard Lu Chensheng and Chu Wu talk about the food problem countless times earlier.
As early as before the city wall was built, Lu Chensheng already knew the importance of food.
Bai Yi still admires this foresight.
"The matter of patrolling, you can arrange it next."
Lu Chensheng looked around and was extremely satisfied with the height of the city wall.
The matter of the city wall is over, and then there will be a lot of free manpower, which can be devoted to the rest of the work.
Bai Yi nodded in response. For some patrol tasks on the city wall, she already had some plans, and she would arrange them without Lu Chensheng telling her.
After staying on the city wall for a while, Lu Chensheng turned around and went down the city wall.
Next to the stairs, several avenues are still being built.
The avenue is zigzagging towards the city wall.
After the construction of this avenue is completed, you can abandon the stairs when you go up, the speed will be much faster, and it will not take too much effort.
Under the valley, many houses have been built. The new houses are not free, but the price is extremely low, allowing the common people to pay back the money slowly.
In terms of the money that the people in the city can earn every month, this amount of money is still affordable.
Many houses in the old city are dilapidated, and the people are still willing to move to new houses. Now there are dozens of families who have already moved in.
In some time, when the houses have been built, the common people can all move in.
At that time, the old city will be completely demolished.
When foreigners come to trade, the old city is their trading market, and Han merchants can go to the valley to conduct transactions.
This is done to prevent foreigners from infiltrating into the valley and destroying it. It is difficult to tell whether it is a spy or not.
It is better to simply arrange all of them outside, on the other hand.
The price of some commodities sold to the common people in the city is not the same. If foreigners come in to have a look, I am afraid that a lot of business will be lost.
