Jiang Rong was responsible for the fortification construction this time. He was nearly 50 years old. Under the leadership of a civil servant, he brought people to repair Dengzhou City several times. At the end of the year, he came to Zhaojiabao by someone's introduction.

After arriving at Zhaojiabao, Jiang Rong seemed to be in a dream. In the past, these craftsmen lived a very difficult life, but they did things in the Zhao family completely differently. Mr. Zhao paid him a salary of 10 taels of silver per month, which made Jiang Rong still happy. Now the two sons don’t have to be afraid of not being able to marry.

But there are some hidden worries in the joy. Although his skills are up to date, he has repaired Dengzhou City! You should know that the words "Iron Laizhou, paper-paste lamps" are flying all over the sky.

The saying "Iron Laizhou, paper-paste lamp" was said to have emerged after Kong Youde's rebellion was quelled. This "lantern" refers to Dengzhou City, which means that Dengzhou City will be destroyed in one attack, and Laizhou City was surrounded by Kong Youde for hundreds of days and has never been captured.

In fact, Dengzhou City was still very strong, and later the official army was not yet under the control of Kong Youde for hundreds of days.

If Mr. Zhao knew about it, he wouldn’t have quit him? After all, it would be unlucky to have cultivated Dengzhou City!

In a conflicted mood, Jiang Rong began to direct the refugees sheltered from the Zhao family according to the drawings provided to him by Zhao Yan.

Three days ago, Jiang Rong had someone dig out the shape of the bastion. Now, just lay the foundation in the trench, rammed the earth wall, and wrapped bricks inside and outside.

Jiang Rong is so mature that he can't be more mature, and he can make it out even with his eyes closed. However, the shape of the city wall made him a little confused.

Jiang Rong had never seen such a strange city wall, but after all, he was a professional. After thinking about it carefully for several days, he immediately saw the trick.

If an enemy wants to attack the city, he will have to be hit by three sides as soon as he comes up. Take the shield soldiers commonly used for siege as an example. It is impossible to hold a shield on three sides, right?

When the cannons on three sides were exploding in a dense formation, they would be seriously injured! A few of them ran up, and the arrow towers at two corners were on the front, and the muskets and arrows were poured down, which was not a problem.

If you want to capture such a city wall, you can only use cannons to bombard the city. Those who defend the city can not only use cannons to bombard the city, but also repair the city wall. In addition, the city wall is not high, even if it is not repaired properly, you can repair another one in the back.

Except for the workers who stayed in the Military Weapon Bureau, brick factories and cement factories, the rest of the refugees participated in the fortification construction, with the number of people reaching nearly 10,000.

Among these people, in addition to young and strong men and women, there are also some elderly people and children. Most of the elderly and children go to the Military Weapon Bureau to work. In addition to building muskets, the most labor-intensive thing about the Military Weapon Bureau is the production of arrows. There are also many elderly people and children working in gunpowder factories.

The gunpowder factory is full of young and strong, and is strictly managed. Not only is it prohibited to smoke and fireworks, but it is also prohibited to rub against the ground during transportation, etc.

The old and weak were scattered outside the gunpowder factory to handle some simple processes.

The construction scene of tens of thousands of people was absolutely in full swing. Picking loess, building earth walls, laying bricks, and making progress in an orderly manner under the command of Jiang Rong and his two sons.

Jiang Rong is an experienced master in commanding the main walls of the people who do not know how to build cities. After all, the city walls of the court were built by the people.

"Everyone work harder! After repairing this section of the earthen wall, it will start to eat. It's just that little bit short of it. After repairing it early, the meal will start early." A clerk in charge of the supervisor shouted loudly, and immediately mobilized the positive surname. After working for the whole morning, everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

With the efforts of everyone, the earthen wall was rammed in a short while. After the supervisor's document announced, the group of refugees immediately went to have dinner.

Other refugees looked at them enviously and increased the speed of construction.

Zhao Yan sent the humanities recruited to supervise workers, each of whom was responsible for a group of refugees, and according to the speed shown, the amount to be repaired on that day will be higher than the speed shown at the beginning. The work will be completed early and the work will be completed early.

At Zhao Yan's request, these supervisors were very kind and did not have any problems with violent supervisors. Most of these refugees were ordinary people, and what they showed was simplicity and ability to endure hardships, and they were full of food every day, and few were abandoned.

When encountering those guys who have healthy limbs, Kong Wu is strong and slutty, the supervisor will use the placement as a threat. These refugees are looking forward to being husbands for several months, and then they will be divided into plowing oxen and seeds, and settle down like the previous group of people. This trick is very exciting.

For those old and weak, do as much as they can! This cannot be forced.

The meal is undoubtedly the happiest time for these displaced people. The Zhao family has always been full of food every meal. The dishes are fried in lard and the rice is filled with large wooden barrels. Every day when the meal is started, they will fight from the canteen to the construction site.

When Zhao Yan was inspecting, he saw a strong man sitting on several bricks, holding green onions in one hand and dough cakes in the other, and feasting there. He ate three large dough cakes in a short while. Then he touched his stomach with satisfaction and burped with happiness on his face.

This appetite definitely made Zhao Yan ashamed. It was absolutely impossible for him to eat three big cakes. It seems that he should focus on the production of meat, eggs and milk, otherwise the food will be consumed very much!

When Jiang Rong saw Zhao Yan and Zhang Buyun coming to patrol, he hurried over.

"According to this progress, how long will it take to repair it?" Zhao Yan asked Jiang Rong as he looked at the busy scene on the construction site. Jiang Rong pondered for a while, and estimated that he said: "It should be possible to repair the wall in half a month, and with some other work at the end of the work, it will be completed in one month."

"Yes! But quality must be guaranteed." Zhao Yan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, the young man has built the city wall for a lifetime, and he has never had any problems." Jiang Rong patted his chest with guilt and said, although there is no problem with Dengzhou City, it is still the same... It's unlucky! It's unlucky! Jiang Rong quickly asked himself to forget that disgraceful thing.

Zhao Yan and Zhang Buyun walked on the construction site, with no one around. Zhang Buyun smiled like a strategist and suggested: "The lord should learn from the strategy of Taizu when he started his family, build high walls, accumulate grain and slowly become king. Even if he can't get his hands on the world, he can dominate the country."

"Haha! I won't be the king." Zhao Yan laughed and continued to watch at the construction site. He thought that this guy was crazy about entering the cabinet. He instigated his ambition all day long. It's really evil. I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty now!

Zhao Yan still had a glimmer of hope for the Ming court.

Zhang Buyun's eyes turned and thought behind him: If you don't become king? Then be the emperor!

While thinking, he nodded, and without saying anything, he continued to follow Zhao Yan and watch on the construction site.

During this period, not only led people everywhere to brainwash people, Zhang Buyun also worked as a part-time counselor of Zhao Yan. He often discovered loopholes in the system and was able to give suggestions quickly. Zhao Yan was very satisfied with Zhang Buyun's ability, which saved him a lot of worry.

After Zhang Buyun's these days, he found that Zhao Yan was very thoughtful and independent, and he could hear others' words. At the same time, he did not do whatever others said, and he could often come up with better solutions.

He is also knowledgeable. Although he often has some common sense ignorance, the creativity he shows in him shocked Zhang Buyun. His knowledge is almost focused on three aspects: making money, producing, and strengthening the army.

At the same time, he also came into contact with the core of the Zhao family, which also made Zhang Buyun puzzled why the Zhao family had so many doubts about money.

Most people who work in the Zhao family know the glass factory, but not many people know the value of glass mirrors.

...

As time goes by, the city walls of Zhaojiabao were built one after another, and the more noisy Zhaojiabao became, it was not because there were more people, but because there were banging guns outside Zhaojiabao every day.

Every day, muskets are out of the factory, and the number is increasing. After practicing sword skills for a month, the 500 musket soldiers finally touched the musket.

So the sound of shooting is endless every day.

The muskets currently manufactured only last more than 300 rounds on average, but in the end, they are basically scrapped after one day of training.

The drilling machine of the Military Weapon Bureau is almost a three-shift working method. It was originally only four days before drilling out, which shortened to one and a half days.

If the power of the turbine increases in the future, the speed will be faster.

Three points. The font speed is still too slow!
