On the coast of Wenxian County, the cold weather has made a thick layer of fog floating on the sea, and the air is salty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wenxian County, near the coast, is very trendy.

The water village is on the shore of thirty miles southwest of Wenxian County, relying on two sea cliffs that are separated by dozens of miles, and the salt pond, the boat port, and the water village are built in one place. The seven miles east of the water village are on higher ground, and a causeway is built to connect the official road from Wenxian County to here.

Yanbei straddled the horse and stood on the causeway, raised his whip and looked at the wide and unobstructed water village in the west, which looked like a sea city, and couldn't help but praise Sun Qing: "This water village is well repaired, and this causeway is also well repaired, can this be said that your Sun Qing has no talent!" ”

Liaodong is a poor place, the reason for poverty is that there are no roads, the first dynasty can build the most road era is about the harsh tyranny of the old Qin, but the Qin people's gallop connects the world, but not to Liaodong.

In the Han Dynasty, the roads that could really be built in Liaodong County were basically to mobilize local people to build such a small road that could only accommodate two horses in parallel, and even in some places, the roads that were stepped on by the people themselves were simply relied on, and weeds that were tall enough to grow without repair in one or two years. In the whole Liaodong, there are only three wide roads, all of which are issued by Xiangping. One is the bluestone bridge that leads to the west of Liaoning, one leads to the north of Xuansu Goguryeo City, and the other is the coastal road that leads to Xi'anping County in the south and then east to Xi'an.

It's just that now the roads in southeast Liaoning have been deserted, not to mention the barren grass, and some sections even have giant trees to block the road.

It is because when fighting in the southeast of Liaoning, the army marched through the forest, not to mention the transportation of baggage, and even the army had to walk through the woodland, which repeatedly violated the taboo of soldiers.

And this Wenxian County to the water village of the causeway, the total length of nine miles, can accommodate four horses in parallel wide and unimpeded, from the Wenxian County official road to the coast as soon as a turn, how can Yanbei not praise Sun Qing's good ability!

But Sun Qing, who saw Yanbei's approval, hung his head a little embarrassed, and glanced at Yanbei before arching his hand to Yanbei: "This is the general's wrong love, it is not a secret that when Wenxian County set up a water village, his subordinates were helpless to transport materials. ”

At that time, Sun Qing was so worried about the broken road in Liaodong County that he almost lost his hair, and he was used to seeing roads extending in all directions, and he could open a wide road even on the mountains in Jizhou, where it was like Liaodong, a ghost place, that is, the flat land could be blocked by forests. It was not an overnight effort to complete the water village, and the trees growing on the shore were not suitable for building ships and building camps, which made him anxious like ants on fire.

Thanks to the frustration of the people's devotion and the efforts of the soldiers transferred from all over the country, a nine-mile-long road was opened in this poor and remote area to connect the official road, so that the giant trees in the southeast of Liaoning could be transported over, and the boatmen who were mobilized could make boats in addition to the water village.

Yan Bei nodded to Fu Zhu, it was not strange that Fu Zhu could come up with this method Yan Bei was not surprised at all, and then said to Sun Qing: "Gong He can come up with a way, you can do things well." How many soldiers does the water village have now, and how many ships are there? ”

"The general and his subordinates will know when they enter the village, and their subordinates will introduce them to the monarchs one by one, the water village, the boat port, and the salt field, which one should we go to first?"

Yanbei Bingge was born in the Bing Revolution, and he attached great importance to the water village, so he naturally wanted to explore the water village first, Sun Qing immediately led the way, and everyone walked towards the water village.

"General, please see, in the distance, one left and one right, two big villages are the Wenxian water village in eastern Liaodong, one south and one north are collectively called the two battalions, each stationed in a song of the water army daily drills. However, the subordinates are not good at water warfare, and the second battalion on the water has never fought with people, and now the drill is only to go to sea to do some fishing and hunting, and it is their water practice to go back and forth to Donglai, Qingzhou to attract refugees. Sun chuckled, looking extremely disdainful of this kind of exercise, and then pointed to the large houses east of the camp and said: "This is the residence of the families of sailors, shipwrights, and salt workers, and there are more than 2,000 households, and there is also a commercial market. However, the most is still dependent on Wenxian County to transport here, and there are two townships, Shuiying Township and Boatsmith Township. ”

Yan Bei nodded, looking at the two townships to the east of the camp, and the women, girls and children were thriving, but the houses were all made of reed grass or fine wood, which did not look stable. Suffering from all the hasty creation here, but there is nothing to be done. He just said to Fu Zhu in surprise: "I didn't expect that there are so many affairs in the water village, I think that he is in charge of thousands of households in Wen County, and it is too powerful to manage this side...... It's just that Tian Guolet a person have to govern the complicated affairs of the water village, the villagers, the shipwrights, and the salt workers, is it feasible? ”

"It is precisely because of the complexity of this matter that the state concession was promoted. Although he was young, he had served in military affairs and served as the Xiangping Order of Wanhu County, and he handled the affairs of the county in an orderly manner, and he did have the ability. Not only him, Zhen Sanlang's friend also has the ability to lead the son, in fact, he has military strategy and political affairs, whether he is in the military or serving as a county commander, he can do a good job. ”

"Hold the Son Sutra? Well, he once studied under the general's staff and Confucianism, so naturally he had to learn with some real talent. Yan Bei nodded, and then asked Frustrated: "Gong He only mentions the Leader Jing and Tian Guorang, what's the matter, Zhen Sanlang's ability, can't it?" ”

Frustrated and paused, mentioning Zhen Yao's smile on his face, it was not at all like the attitude of the peers when he talked about Tian Yu and the recruitment, but as if the elders were promoting the juniors, he said: "Zhen Sanlang has a jumping nature, but after the great changes in the clan, his temperament is stable and resolute, but his understanding is slightly lower, and his preference for making friends is a little late...... However, it is enough to serve as the treasurer of the county. ”

The official is an official position that deals with the state and even the imperial court, and is an extremely important official in the county.

Just as Fu Zhu said this, Yan Bei knew that Fu Zhu was saying that Zhen Yao was useless.

The planner is important, that is, the planner of other counties is important, but the planner of Liaodong, isn't that a mascot? Liaodong County and the state have an appointment first, and the state's property is not distributed, and it all depends on self-sufficiency, what is the use of the planner?

Symbolically go to Jixian County every March to listen to how other counties report the situation, and whether they are good or bad has little to do with the treatment in the county.

Anyway, there was nothing.

Yan Bei sighed, what could he say? Even if he is the lord of frustration, but in the end, he is the Taishou of Liaodong, how to use people in the county, does he still have to point fingers?

He could only say to Fu Zhu: "He can't learn, after all, in the past, Brother Zhen was still there, and he didn't have to ask about everything in the family, after reading for many years, the prince and you will teach him more, Yan believes that San Lang will be of great use in the future." ”

Frustrated and self-nodding, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, general, you want to be his brother-in-law, who in the county dares to treat him badly?" ”

This remark caused everyone to laugh, but Yan Bei just pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then said: "Brother Zhen and I have a kindness, I promised Yan that one day, I will protect Zhen's integrity." I can raise troops to make trouble and solve the Montenegrin rebellion in March, but I can't protect Brother Zhen...... There is only such a man left in the Zhen family, if I can't let him have the talent to govern the county in the future, I will be scolded if I see Brother Zhen in a hundred years. ”

Yan Bei would say this, it was not surprising that he was frustrated, in fact, if he didn't care about Yan Bei's thoughts, he would not be able to serve in the county according to Zhen Yao's skills, even if he was a county official, he would have been promoted.

"Brother Zhen and I are both middle sons in the family, and we both have a San Lang who is sent to study. I regard Saburo as far more important than my own life, and when my eldest brother dies, I will treat him like a father. If Brother Zhen is still alive, it is expected that this should be the case. Yan Bei's expression was a little deep, and he said slowly: "I regard Brother Zhen as a brother, and if Brother Zhen is not here, I am Zhen Sanlang's brother...... All the gentlemen are my siblings, if one day Yan dies in Huangquan, leaving San Lang alone, I also hope that all the gentlemen can take care of him on my behalf, not seeking wealth and nobility, but seeking no disaster and no misfortune. ”

Sun Qingben didn't have a good impression of Zhen Yao, and looked at the water village boredly, and when he heard Yan Bei say this, he hurriedly turned around and said: "Where is the general, as long as I still have my life, I will never let the general be in danger, otherwise what is the use of us?" ”

"Now that the world is getting more and more chaotic, who is not precarious?" Seeing that everyone wanted to say something, Yan Bei hurriedly walked into the water village first, looked at the barracks and the sailors who were training the bow and crossbow, and asked Sun Qing: "Those crossbowmen, what are they holding in their hands?" ”

Hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but look at the crossbowmen, but when they saw that they were still holding a small stick on the crossbow arm, they all looked at Sun Qing with puzzled eyes, and heard him say: "Oh, the wooden stick that the general said, it is used to press the arrow, and it is not as good as the ground on the ship, the archer is difficult to aim because of the bumps, and the crossbowman is easy to aim at the arrows but will shake off the crossbow arrows due to the bumps, so he presses the arrows with the wooden sticks, which is to make the crossbowmen familiar with the wooden sticks, and then go on the boat to practice, otherwise they will not be able to suppress the arrows, but will be unstable because of the wooden sticks and shake off the arrows." ”

Yan Bei came to his senses when he heard Sun Qing say this, smiled and took the crossbow from the crossbow on the side, and pressed the arrow with the crossbow to try to shoot, but because he didn't grasp the wooden stick well, the crossbow string was stuck, and the arrow only jumped out of two steps and fell to the ground, causing the generals to laugh.

Sun Qing took the crossbow and demonstrated to Yanbei how to use the wooden stick, only to see him pull the crossbow open on the negative arrow, press the crossbow arrow with the wooden stick and shoot it downward, and the crossbow arrow was nailed into the land for more than three inches with a 'bang', and said to Yanbei with a smile: "After being familiar with this method, you can not only stabilize the arrow in the water battle, but also shoot the enemy with a crossbow on the high ground, which is something that the bow and crossbow cannot do at all." ”

Yan Bei was amazed, looked at the bow and crossbow and wooden stick, and said: "When I first learned the crossbow, I couldn't stabilize the arrow, so that I could only shoot one arrow when I fired three arrows, if I had this thing at that time, I wouldn't have to suffer such a sin, eh, wait...... Although we can stabilize the arrow, why don't we just make something that can suppress the arrow directly on the crossbow arm, so that no matter when and where, no matter whether it is a high or low shot, even if it is a vertical shot, we can achieve it, and after winding, we don't have to worry about the stability of the crossbow arrow, isn't it happy! ”

Thinking of this, Yan Bei couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to Sun Qing: "Whoever came up with the method of pressing the arrow, deserve a reward!" Tomorrow, you will return to Xiangping with a few soldiers who are familiar with the bow and crossbow and the people who came up with this method, and we will go to Tiewu to discuss this matter with the craftsmen! Improve your crossbow! ”
