148: Corrupt officials everywhere(1/2)

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"

Outside the royal city, the forest within fifty kilometers of surrounding areas has been flattened in the past ten days, leaving behind bare earth and countless tree stumps.

The shovel that excavates the bunker swings quickly.

The legs of the sandbags were marching like flying.

The sales of iron nets are smooth and flowing.

Tens of thousands of workers are busy working on this land.

On the city wall, all the sentry positions were removed, and all the guardrails on the top of the wall were smashed away.

One city marshal after another was set up one by one.

The city moats on all four walls are now concentrated at the end of this absolute war of defense: above the Western City Wall.

All boiler rooms in the royal city are fully powered, and they are working hard to make new moats and the required projectiles.

When Zheng Gan took Mao Nanbei to the construction site, he had to be shocked by the scene.

I didn’t expect that the mobilization power in eastern Sichuan was so strong.

"You are Mr. Zheng Gan?"

Taking Mao Nanbei and patrol all the way, Zheng Gan tried to understand the layout of the position first.

I never thought that all the workers passing by recognized Zheng Gan.

Many people gathered around.

Among the workers who did not surround us, many people stopped the work at hand and looked around curiously.

This made Zheng Gan feel a little bit unsuccessful of feces and urine.

"You know me?" Zheng Gan asked shyly.

The dirty workers had longing smiles on their faces.

"Of course I know you are a celebrity."

"The monsters rush to the city and the Guiya Mountain rescue battle, these are all famous battles."

"Everyone says you may be the next war king, isn't it true?"

Am I so famous now? Why don’t I know?

The enthusiastic voices of the workers were even a little noisy.

This is the first time Zheng Gan has had such an experience in two lives.

It feels like a celebrity fan meeting.

"Mr. Zheng Gan, what are you doing this time?" a worker asked in a strong accent.

Zheng Gan replied: "It's nothing, I just come and see the position configuration."

"If you have any requirements, we are all coolies and cannot go to the battlefield. At this critical moment, we can only do this."

"No, no, no, everyone is good. Without you, this battle would be difficult to fight."

Damn, am I infected by the Zhao Aotian virus? Why can I even say such words?

However, at this moment, there were suddenly some disharmonious problems in the noisy sound.

"After that being said, Mr. Zheng Gan, when will the salary that Zongren Ling owes us be paid?"

The person who asked the question was an old carpenter about sixty years old.

He hunched over his thin back, raised his dirty hand full of thick calluses, and asked honestly and expectantly.

"Sectarian order?" Zheng Gan was curious.

As soon as this question arose, the workers around him also turned their curious eyes to Zheng Gan.

They are all working people at the bottom, and they can't tell which department is, or whether Zheng Gan and Zong Renling have a subordinate relationship.

They only knew that Zong Renling was in charge of royal chores and Zheng Gan was a celebrity, and both were big names, so they were the same for everyone.

"What? Did the clan's servant not give you wages?" Zheng Gan was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, the treasury funds in eastern Sichuan are currently very abundant, and the country is in trouble now, so the funds related to the war should be given enough.

Can't even pay for workers?

"I'm going to stay here for a while anyway. If I meet the clan's lord, I'll ask you for help." Zheng Gan responded.

When the workers heard this, they all said enthusiastically: "You are a big shot, so you must rest assured."

"We know that the country is in trouble, but the country is not short of money. We can't let us work in vain, right?"

"Yes, please Lord Zheng Gan."

After saying goodbye to the construction workers, Zheng Gan and Mao Nanbei continued to wander around the repaired positions.

I have to say that sometimes high IQ and experience are really different.

It is possible that you can arrange troops and arrange troops, but you can't do it even if you have a strategist with 50 years of battlefield experience.

The entire position is arranged in the shape of a wifi.

Or the wave shape is more suitable.

The positions are divided into ten floors.

The outermost frontier was excavated and flattened, forming a plain without shelter.

Then look inward, the closer we get to the inner position of the royal city, the shorter and more compressed the front line.

The entire position is divided into nine layers, plus the outermost plain, which is very suitable for monks to charge at first glance, so it can be basically understood that this battlefield was designed as a total of ten layers of defense lines.

The outermost periphery is the plain, allowing monks to take the lead in restraining a large number of monsters.

Then there is a five-story gradually piled up, and I can't understand what to do at the moment.

There are countless buildings similar to whistle towers on the seventh and eighth floor, which should be convenient for magicians to use heavy bombing magic.

The ninth floor is next to the royal city wall, and has been basically completed, all filled with newly cast ultra-long-distance heavy bombing cannons.

The tenth floor is the city wall itself.

All the marshals in the royal city that were in service were transferred to the West City Wall to build this last line of defense.

Of course, the houses inside the royal city are currently being renovated.

If the city wall is broken, the soldiers retreat to the city and rely on the street fighting terrain, they can still have the power to fight.

Although Zheng Gan could not fully understand the strategy of defensive battles, he could barely understand half of the position layout.

Zheng Gan himself has not had any experience in participating in such a large-scale battle, so he has no good advice. I can only say that I can take a look and get familiar with the environment in advance.

However, during the visit and inspection, Zheng Gan discovered some unharmonious places.

"What's going on with this sandbag?"

With two fingers, Zheng Gan squeezed the sandbag that the worker was carrying with difficulty. He gently weighed it a few times and asked with some reproach: "I remember that the standard sandbag is 220 kilograms per bag. Why is it so heavy? I'm filling too much?"

There are some specialties in sandbags. If they are too light, they are easily destroyed by monsters. If they are too heavy, they mean that they are too full. When they are impacted, the sandbag itself is easily exploded.

This sandbag is obviously too heavy.

Zheng Gan pinched it and found that the feel was not like sand.

When I tore it open, I found that there were mud, stones and other things inside.

The worker stammered: "Zong... The clan told the adults that in order to save money, half of the workers who dug river sand were transferred away. We didn't have time to fuse them, so the foreman could only let us fuse half of the sand and half of the earth and stone waste."

After hearing this, Zheng Gan couldn't help but frown.

The sandbags poured out in this way will cause the mud moisture to be squeezed out over time and gravity.

The piles will become hard on the outside and loose on the inside.

It’s okay to block people, but it’s a monster with infinite power. This kind of sandbag stack cannot cover it at all.

Thinking about what the worker he met at the beginning, Zheng Gan's brows became tighter and tighter.

The clan order?

Is it Xiao Xuan’s father Xiao Baoguo?

Afterwards, Zheng Gan led Mao Nanbei to continue patrol.

Sure enough, many problems were discovered.

The diameter of the barbed wire is too thin and the density of the barbed wire is insufficient.

If the pile distance between fixed piles in the pit canal is too wide, it is easy to cause the bunker to collapse.

Zheng Gan even returned to the city gate tower and checked the ammunition and inventory of the newly cast cannons.

It was found that the amount of ammunition was in deficit by 20%.

Now, Zheng Gan is really popular.
