Chapter 254: Do you still want rosewood?

After spending two or three days of Qingming Festival worship and gatherings lively, the military officers sent from Chang'an have already arrived at the mouth of the river. Raozhou quickly sent people to inform and receive the service. This army is not as good as the army's road construction contracting in Texas. The people in the state can strictly demand that the road should be repaired, but the army cannot.

Therefore, in order to make this road well and quickly, Raozhou was accompanied by General Gui Delang and the captains who served the team leader. He was very afraid that any of them would be unhappy, and the soldiers below would not work hard to make the road worse, and that would be in vain.

There are also some considerations when building roads. The same roads can be built with steep slopes or gentle slopes; they can be built with bumps or bumps, or they can be built with flat and hard. If the roads are slow, the road may take three or two years, and once the rainwater is washed away, it will be scrapped; if it is active, it will be dug first, then build a layer of fine stones, lay the soil and tamp it, and then lay a layer of fine soil on it. Finally, a layer of three-combination soil will be tamped on it. Once the three-combination soil is compacted and a layer of fine sand is laid, the road will not be washed away even by ordinary rain.

It is precisely because the same roads are so different that officials in Raozhou cannot do so. If the road is built steeply and the carriages cannot be built, the merchants will not choose to take this road. They would rather go far away. Who would risk the carts and goods being overturned? Then they should not expect to get benefits from this road.

Those lieutenants were surprised. If you build roads in Jianzhou, come to join in the fun? But if you don’t eat, don’t eat, don’t play, don’t play, don’t play, don’t delve into the secrets. Anyway, the roads are repaired and the real thing is to hand over early.

General Gui Delang was from the fifth rank, with his surname as Li, and was from a family general of Li Jing. He was originally a rule that he could only lead up to 4,000 troops at most, but this time he was different, not a war, so he made an exception and asked him to bring more than 10,000 troops. It can’t be said that you sent a fifth rank general Dingyuan who could bring 10,000 troops, right? Li Yesi’s current real position is just a lower-level general under the seventh rank.

The purpose of sending this Li surname Gui Delang in the future is to allow Li Yesi to control him. Because he was born in the Li family, he was considered a direct member of the Li family. Li Yesi could also command him. If someone else came, it would be impossible to say that. Moreover, it was just to build roads, so there was no need to send a general.

There were many military ranks in the Tang Dynasty, and the General of the Cavalry was ranked first. Next, the arrangement was based on one level (in order to facilitate the writing of Gray Birds in the future, and to facilitate the comparison of book friends in the future, all of them were listed):

General of the Cavalry, from the first grade

General of the Assistant State, second-rank;

General of the Town Army, from the second rank;

Champion General, the third rank;

General Huaihua, the third rank;

General Huaihua, the third rank;

The Imperial Insulting Captain, from the eighth rank;

The deputy lieutenant was humiliated and he was descended from the eighth rank;

Guidesigo, from the eighth rank;

Captain Renyong, the ninth rank;

Deputy Captain Renyong, the ninth rank;

Huaihua holds the halberd and grows above, and is at the ninth rank below;

Accompanying the Rong Captain, from the ninth rank;

Accompanying Deputy Commander Rong, from the ninth rank;

Guide holds the halberd and grows above, and comes from the ninth rank.

There are thirty-three ranks in total, which are more detailed and complex than the military ranks in later generations. Many of them are also ranks, such as the lieutenant of Zhiguo and the deputy lieutenant of Zhiguo.

It can generally be understood that the general is equivalent to a five-star general, and the guerrilla general is equivalent to an ordinary general (including a brigade general or a colonel), the guide Lang is below, and the Huaihua Sige is above roughly equivalent to a school official, and the remaining ones are lieutenants. As for the fire chief and sergeant chief, they are equivalent to ordinary non-commissioned officers. The captain is generally the lieutenant captain of a low-level school. This score is not very accurate, but it is generally enough to match the top number.

This system basically follows the settings of Emperor Wu of Han. Until the Song and Ming dynasties, some emperors simply copied them directly, while others changed slightly, or added some titles, or reduced some titles, or changed some names, but there were very few changes, and they were generally similar.

Wang Kuang didn't have so much thought of memorizing these. The civil servant's grades had already made him feel very troubled. Until now, he has been Xuan Delang for more than two years, but he still hasn't remembered them all. He was too lazy to do it if he wanted to remember another military position. Therefore, since Li Yesi was a staunch supporter of his road construction, he was all over the place.

Anyway, there are also craftsmen from the Ministry of Works who come with the army. The road should be repaired, so these professionals can grasp it. The advantage of Danxia landform is that you just need to open the mountain and flatten the road. There is no need to dig pits and rammed earth. The road where the rammed earth is in Raozhou, let the officials in Raozhou have a headache. Wang Kuang is sure and they won’t do anything randomly. I feel very relieved.

Wang Kuang's thoughts were almost all about the Shen family's seedling throwing experiment. This spring, he almost forgot to sleep in. He got up early every morning. After eating breakfast, he took Sanbai and rode his horse to the field. With Sanbai, he was much more troublesome. He could not hold the reins with his hands, just hold them on the saddle, and closed his eyes and stumbled with his horse's small steps, just swaying and napping like a sedan chair. When he arrived on the ground, Sanbai would spread his horse's ears and turned around and hung them on Wang Kuang's chest. Wang Kuang was there, and the ground was here.

Originally, Wang Kuang Kaichu thought that there were no big killing weapons. Horseshoes and double pedals could be brought to Li Lao 2 for use. However, when he got the horses Xu specially chose for him, he gave up. Because horseshoes had already existed and double pedals had existed. The main reason why they could not be popularized among the people was the iron control system. However, in the army, no war horse was not worthy of double pedals and no iron nails.

Only Wang Kuang, who was lucky, had a direct line with Lin Ming and Huang Liang as soon as he came, and he almost didn't feel the constraints brought by iron control. He just wanted to use any iron to open it. It was not until he was about to change the plow. Looking at the hardwood plow, Wang Kuang felt the lack of iron for the first time in Tang Shi.

Finding iron ore is not a solution. There is a pyrodite ore next to Linjiang Village in Tangxing. The specific location is not the norm, but it is not far away. It is useful to find iron ore? In this era of cold weapons, iron is definitely a controlled commodity. No matter how many you drive, it is impossible for farmers to use iron farm tools. It is definitely given priority to use military use.

Furthermore, Wang Kuang had already returned all the iron ore smelting methods learned in junior high school chemistry to his teacher. Just like cement, it only summarizes the raw materials, but the specific details of the ratio and temperature have been thrown into Java. Details determine success or failure. If you have to understand these details, as long as you are willing to invest, it is not impossible, but is it possible?

Do you want cement? How harder can cement be than the three-dimensional soil that has been pounded with glutinous rice? Wang Kuang remembered that he once saw a program where a coffin unearthed was pounded with glutinous rice, which is as hard as granite. If you want to study cement, it is naturally still a three-dimensional soil that has been pounded with glutinous rice. Wang Kuang won’t do it.

The same is true for iron. The smelting technology was not developed at this time. The iron smelted was not much better than bronze. It was also brittle. Once it was slightly affected by the external force of the key, it was finished. It was not as good as yellow gallbladder wood in farm tools (called yellow gallbladder wood in northern Fujian, and it was named because its wood was tender and yellow like bile. However, any plane that carpenters liked very much is basically made of the body) is easy to use.

Yellow gall wood is everywhere in northern Fujian. The advantage of this wood is that it will become very smooth after friction with the soil, especially the mud in the fields. This smoothness does not mean that the texture of the wood is worn, but is squeezed more solid during the friction process. The grinded porch has a lifespan, and it can be changed every year. This is not much different from using an iron knife. Yellow gall wood itself has a hard texture and retains the elasticity of the wood. It can be said that it has all the hardness and toughness. Therefore, the newly made porch is basically made of yellow gall wood.

The cost of using yellow gill wood can be said to be much cheaper than using iron. Just make the porch into a detachable and replaceable, and then replace it with a new knife after it is worn. There are so many mountains and so many yellow gill wood. It can be said that the money for making an iron gill wood is enough to make dozens of yellow gill wood coops.

Of course, in terms of sharpness, yellow-bladder wood is definitely far inferior to iron, but is there another thing? This is a rice field, not a dry field, the mud in the field. After a few days of water is fermented in early spring, you can easily penetrate it with your hands. Whether it is sharp or not is not very important in the rice field.

Wang Kuang asked the Shen family to plant rice seedlings in different ways in each hilly field. Some were messy, some were neat, some were seedlings in each crop, some had more seedlings, some were less, and some were less, and the depth of the plowing land was also different. It can be said that no hilly field was exactly the same as in a dozen hilly fields. What Wang Kuang had to do these days was the work of supervising the work.

This first time, Wang Kuang could only work harder, and brought the Shen family's farming masters by his side. Every time he explained, those farming masters would set up a few piles by the field to mark it, so as not to have a few months to get the autumn harvest, and then I forgot which hills were used to operate the method.

After the autumn harvest, it was confirmed that the seedling method was better, or that the harvest was not satisfactory and the seedling dumping method was denied, Wang Kuang could continue to be his hand-off manager. The harvest of the fields was related to the issue of food and clothing, and whether it could attract more refugees. What a laborer could do was limited, and if he was suffocated, a laborer could only cultivate so many fields, so the yield per mu became the key.

The population problem determines whether a local business can develop. If you have so many goods, you have to have so many people to consume. If you have so many people, you must have enough money. Therefore, whether a state and a county can develop is not to say that Wang Kuang can come with a little hand and an idea, and he can say that it is linked together. It cannot be done without the support of the people.

Shenbiao was like Wang Kuang. He was very concerned about the problem of these dozen hills and fields. He ran here every few days. He arrived here from Tang Xing, which was much farther than Wang Kuang, but he could get a meal earlier than Wang Kuang every time. However, he also took a look and left and didn't stay for too long. Wang Kuang was here, which was much better than him. He had many things to deal with at home. He came because Wang Kuang came, so he wanted to show his support.

Wang Kuang is the same, so in most cases, when the two met, they didn’t have so many polite words. Most of them just ate a few words?"

"Eat." That's all.

However, today Shen Bie was waiting for Wang Kuang to come. When he saw Wang Kuang from afar, he went up to meet him. As usual, after a few words, he didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point to ask the little boss, do you still need rosewood?"
