Chapter 147 Bastion Strategy

"Bast."

The study room of the royal palace.

Zou Rong looked at what King Yan drew on paper.

This hexagonal star-shaped building extends outwardly with each star angle.

The middle area is used for soldiers training and rest.

Moreover, this building has two floors, with a large hexagon below and a small hexagon above.

He had never seen such a building and felt novel for a moment.

"Your Highness, this lower level is understandable. You can use every corner to shoot the enemy, but the second level is a bit wasteful." Zou Rong asked.

"Not a waste at all, you will understand in the future." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

Zou Rong's understanding is just to use bows and arrows as defensive weapons. Since the second floor is farther from the battlefield, he feels that it is not very useful.

But what he didn't know was that it was equipped with artillery.

Once built, this bastion will become a warship that will not sink, staring at the enemies coming from the deep mountains.

Zou Rong nodded. This task was much more difficult for him than building Chengdefang.

How to build a castle in Yan King has already told him in detail.

The Military Affairs Office will provide something called steel bars.

Let the steel bars become a skeleton, and the carpenters use wooden boards to fix them outside and pour them into concrete.

Two high walls with a distance of five meters were built, and the inside was filled with soil.

He was half-understood by these things, but after the King of Yan said that he would go to personally guide him, he felt much more at ease.

The most important question next is the people who built the bastion, which is a big project.

Before he could speak, he heard the King of Yan say, "As for those who built the bastion, I remember that at the end of the war, 40,000 to 50,000 people who were robbed by the Beidi arrived in Yan County. You can choose the young and strong from it, and give them a tael of silver to pay if you are willing to go."

Zou Rong knew about these people who were unwilling to go back.

This group of people is basically young and strong men and women, and the people of Beidi will not kidnap the young and old.

Apart from the women, at least 30,000 young and strong people can be picked out from it.

It's enough for so many people to build five prisms.

"In addition, you can recruit people. After the autumn plowing is over, the people will be idle. These five bastions must be built at the same time. The mountains are covered with heavy snow in winter, and the Beidi cannot cross the mountains. From now until next spring and summer, you will have more than half a year." Zhao Xu said.

In ancient times, there was corvee service.

Logically speaking, he could have conscripted the people for corvee service.

However, because corvee labor is free, the people hate it very much and will not take it seriously.

Therefore, he decided to turn the construction of a battalion into an active Yanjun economy policy such as infrastructure.

People are idle in winter, and they will naturally be unable to get money when they have money, and their enthusiasm for working has also increased.

The construction cycle of the prism can certainly be shortened.

Even so, the royal palace will cost a lot of money.

But the money is in the hands of the people, and once the people have money, Yanjun business can prosper.

The royal palace can return to the royal palace through commercial taxes.

Even if some of them are in the hands of merchants, they will cooperate with the merchants to get goods from the royal palace, and some of them will be in the hands of the royal palace.

After making such money, it has revitalized the economy and built infrastructure well. Why not do it?

However, he was able to do this based on the ability to harvest the powerful and wealthy businessmen through commercial goods.

This is also the reason why he attaches importance to Yanjun Commercial Bank.

Next, he will transform the business so that it will make it easier for him to accumulate wealth for the royal palace.

Just as a tree growth requires roots to attract nutrition from the land.

In contemporary times, the development of Western industry has established the exploitation of colonies' wealth.

He cannot go out to sea now and has no sea rights, so he can only draw wealth from outside the sealed land through commercial goods to complete his original accumulation.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, these five bastions will probably cost a million yuan." Zou Rongke calculated and was shocked.

In such a short time, he planned to recruit at least 60,000 people, after all, he had to transport cement and mine rocks into stones.

The monthly money for seven or eight months is almost more than 500,000 yuan.

This is not the silver of the material.

Zhao Xu felt a pain in his heart, but he had to endure it.

Fortunately, the last time the royal family made millions of taels of silver, and the 150,000 taels in the royal family account could still be used.

Moreover, the project is not completed in one day, so there is no need to take out so much money at once.

But even so, he had to continue to hold the money.

The restoration of Shanggu County and Yan County also includes 30,000 new recruits’ salary and equipment, as well as shipbuilding and opening up maritime trade routes.

Of course, there are artillery.

"It hurts..." Zhao Xu knocked on his head, and there is still a long way to go to make money.

However, he still gritted his teeth and said to Zou Rong: "You don't have to worry about money, let go of your hands."

"Yes, Your Highness." Zou Rong replied yes.

At this time, Zhao Xu gave the drawn brink of the brink to Zou Rong and asked him to arrange it immediately.

Zou Ronggang left.

Feng'er suddenly looked out of the study room and said, "Your Highness, there is a man named Mo Yu outside the palace to ask for advice."

"Mo Yu?" Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, he said he was the son of General Modi." Feng'er said.

When Mo Yu came, he did not come to the royal palace, but went to fight directly.

So she doesn't know Mo Yu.

"How did he enter the city?" Zhao Xu showed a confused expression.'

Usually, those who bring troops will stop the city gate guards.

"He has only one person."

Zhao Xu frowned, stood up and walked out, "I will go and have a look."

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhao Xu saw Mo Yu standing at the door.

And he doesn't have armor on his body, he just wears regular clothes.

"Master Mo." Zhao Xu smiled, "What wind has blown you."

"I have seen His Highness the King of Yan." Mo Yu bowed.

Then he sighed, "I am really dismissed. I have been dismissed from office and now I am just a white man. In Yanzhou, only His Highness is sincerely fighting against Beidi, so I asked My Highness to come and join His Highness and hope that His Highness will take him in."

Zhao Xu thought about it slightly and then understood.

He was also wondering why Mo Yu could lead troops to help him. Now it seems that Mo Di is outside, and the king is unstoppable and let Mo Yu come.

Now that it is in the court, someone must have made trouble.

So Mo Yu became a shield and was dismissed.

"I am not a righteous person. If I had not helped the Commander Mo, the war would not have ended smoothly. I would not have been able to capture Kutu. I immediately made a contribution and got Shanggu County." Zhao Xu said.

Mo Yu held back Chalha, helped Lu Chang or arrested him.

Otherwise, Tam and Chalha would merge with each other, and more than 10,000 Beidi cavalry were marching in Yan County, and he was unable to resist at all.

This is indeed a big help.

Now Mo Yu lost his official position because of this, and Mo Di recommended it again, so it was a bit unreasonable if he didn't accept it.

Furthermore, Mo Yu was trained by Mo Zhai.

Military capabilities may not be worse than Chang Wei.

Now, he is about to expand his army, and it is time for him to need a general.

There is a place for him.

So he said, "It's the right time for the Commander of Mo to come. The Emperor Xun King expanded his troops to 60,000. It's better to stay in my personal army and train the new recruits."
