……………………………………………………
There are opportunities everywhere in Nam-gun, as long as outsiders are not lazy and have a pair of hands to work, they don't have to worry about hunger, and if they work hard and have a flexible brain, it is not difficult to find a decent job in Gangneung. If the local middle class in Nanjun has the corresponding capital, they can even buy cheap goods from the government and sell them outside the county to earn the difference; As for the gentry and clans, if they can get orders from the government, then what they earn at this time is not wealth, but the future of their descendants.
In just four months, the backwater of Nanjun is gone, and at this moment, Nanjun is being developed everywhere, with farmland being cultivated and new mines being opened everywhere. Some light industries, such as the weaving industry, were also too large for the gentry and clans to eat, so the government appropriately purchased from private retail investors.
The weaving industry has led to a large number of industries, and the farmers who grow hemp have improved their lives because of the increased demand for hemp and the increase in the price of hemp.
The weaving industry also needs manpower, and the women of the people, who can weave cloth and do not tailor, have also become a group of beneficiaries of the population.
In the same way, because of the increasing demand for looms in the private sector, the looms of the manufacturing workshops in the hands of the government were sold, and a very simple economic cycle was formed.
The weaving industry is only one of the industries that has risen because of the great development of Nanjun, and the mining of mines, the development of acres, weapons workshops, agricultural tool workshops, garment workshops, and other industries have also been revived with the support of the government.
The whole south is in turmoil, and the Qianshou from all over the world even has the luxury of eating a mouthful of food, and in this context, the Qianshou of Nanjun feels that his life is so happy.
After the outline of the castle wall rises from the plain, everyone who sees the majestic city wall of Qiandu will be amazed, and then full of security. After all, if there was a danger, the government had promised to let Qianshou enter the city to settle down.
In addition, there is good news from all sides, and the government will also post notices to the people, and recently people have paid more attention to the crusade of the army of Nanjun against Qianzhong County.
Because of the victory of Qianzhong County, the head of the folk Qianzhong County received something called "war dividend", that is, every household in the household registration of Nanjun would receive a "gift" of grain according to the public.
They didn't know what the war dividends were, but it was the first time they had received food from the government, and the reasons given by the officials who distributed the food were somewhat unfamiliar to them......
"Because the county lord's army won a big victory in Qianzhong County, and distributed dividends to the Qianshou under his rule?"
No one had ever heard of a ruler who would distribute food to the civilians after a great victory. The people who received the food gifts were very happy, but they were very confused, and they did not understand the relationship between the ruler's victory in the war and the distribution of food.
"So that means that in the future, the county lord's army will have food if it wins?" Someone thinks so.
"It was seized in Qianzhong County, and it was obtained very much. Thus reward the people under his rule? "Be smart and explain to yourself.
Later, there was a rumor among the soldiers serving in the army that the soldiers who went to war would receive additional rewards according to their achievements during the war, and the worst treatment could also get ten and a half taels, and the soldiers who cut one head of the enemy could get a one-room house in the new city, and the soldiers who cut three heads of the enemy could get an independent house.
The model house building in Xinchengchi once caused a sensation, and the Qiantou people were full of curiosity about the kind of building with three floors high and a large number of rooms inside.
Well, in fact, it was an apartment building that appeared in the Qin Dynasty, and I have to say that this was the product of Lu Zhe's design when his bad taste exploded.
In the new castle. Three-storey buildings will become the mainstream, and they will be arranged according to the city's road plan, and each house will be basically a three-bedroom layout.
Lu Zhe comes from modern times, and what he can't stand the most is the sanitary environment of the Qin period. Therefore, at the time of design, there will be two public toilets and a public bathhouse on each floor.
The three-storey apartment building will be the most ordinary building in the new city, and in this era of class, there should always be some residences that can show status, so Lu Zhe's bad taste has exploded again. The plan is to build the modern three-storey mid-rise villa style buildings and make them the residences of the new nobles in South County.
In Lu Zhe's planning, the construction of the new city is extremely standardized. I don't know if Lu Dao was out of bad taste or if he was really thinking about the head of Qian, he always said that "a thousand people should have a park, and ten thousand people should have a large park", and he planned to set aside the necessary open space in the four main areas of the city, and then fence it off to build a park with recreational facilities. He has even begun to think about what toys should be arranged, and whether he should charge for them.
Of course, planning is just planning, and whether it can be put into action depends on the actual needs in the future.
Spending his limited mental energy on those things, is Lu Zhe idle and has nothing to do? No! Everyone can't be busy with official business all day long, there should always be something to relieve the fatigue of the day, for him to design buildings in a familiar field is to relieve fatigue of entertainment.
The new city named Nanling, her city wall section has been towered in two directions, and the six-pointed star city wall makes her look like an infinitely enlarged fortress.
Although it is a bit weird, it still needs to be explained that Lu Zhe originally wanted to name Xinchengchi Nanjing, but gave up after thinking about it carefully.
At this stage, a large number of people are transporting bricks fired from all over the place to the freshly baked Nanling, and some stonemasons work in three shifts to build bricks (qieqi) on sections of the city wall.
In the past, stonemasons used mud mixed with glutinous rice when laying bricks, but now cement is used due to the successful cement test in Nangun.
Laying bricks for the city wall is probably only Lu Zhe can do, and the current city is ...... Well, there are very few cities in the Qin State that have walls now. In short, before Lu Zhe, no one would use bricks to build the outer outline of the female wall and the city wall, and Lu Zhe really did that.
"You know the bullshit, because they made a suggestion a while ago, and they really built a new baking kiln. Speed and throughput increased by a factor of five. If the government does not purchase in large quantities, how can it support these gentry who are testing the waters! If they retreat from the new technique, how will I carry out those plans in the future?! Furthermore, Nanling City is of great significance to Nanjun, can you see people on the bare wall? Lu Zhe said this to those who oppose extravagance.
The so-called Qin bricks and Han tiles, in the Qin period, the technique of burning bricks has actually been very developed, and there are many types of bricks fired, such as hollow bricks and other materials are widely used in the water diversion system, and the pipes used by Lu Zhe for the water diversion and sewage system of architectural design are actually a category of hollow bricks.
In fact, Lu Zhe has another intention to support brick-making merchants, and the bricks and stones needed in Nanjun in the next few years can no longer be described as large. It should be judged by countless numbers, that is the amount of a whole city, and it is better for outsiders to take advantage of the time to support and grow the local industry now, and it is not difficult to go to other counties to buy bricks?
For this reason, he also tried his best to encourage his subordinates to go to Zhang Luo to get a brick-making workshop, just to let those who are willing to follow him get benefits. And as the lord of Nanjun, he doesn't need to worry about his wealth at all, after all, the mine that represents the most wealth is owned by him.
Yesterday, the soldiers of Gangneung were ordered that tomorrow they will temporarily stop drilling. Greet the victorious returning troops outside the city of Nanling.
Today, nearly 40,000 troops arrived early at the newly named Nanling and waited about three miles from the city wall, where they would witness the two armies pass through the "victory gate" that was being decorated. Perform a triumphal ceremony.
The so-called victory gate is also called Jinghua Gate, which is a ritual in the Spring and Autumn Period, but at that time, the soldiers who crossed Jinghua Gate could disarm and return home, and now it represents a kind of honor.
The leaders who got the news also gathered from all directions. They were led by the soldiers on duty to the specially marked open spaces and the sides of the road.
At about a moment in the morning, the army that went to Qianzhong County to fight crossed the Yangtze River, and generals such as Su Lie, Ji Bu, Gongwei, and Wu Liang rode across their horses and walked at the forefront of the troops. A total of 20,000 soldiers escorted countless captured prisoners of war and a small number of prisoners of war selected from more than 200,000 prisoners, walked on the galloping road that had been built recently, and slowly approached the Nanling.
It should have been around three o'clock in the hour, and Yoshikane and Xu Zhi led 5,000 soldiers to enter Gangneung from the northeast, and then crossed the county town of Gangneung to the location where Nanling was located. They carried only nearly a thousand carts of booty, but there were not a single prisoner.
At two moments, the two troops appeared almost simultaneously on the horizon as far as Nanling's eyes could see.
On the makeshift platform, Lu Zhe smiled when he saw the two armies appear almost at the same time, and he deliberately made such an arrangement.
The platform is about eight meters high, if it is made of rammed earth, it is a platform of the princes' alliance, but it is built with wooden planks, otherwise it is a platform that conforms to the customs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the princes used to review the army.
Watching the two armies slowly approach, Lu Zhe motioned for the drummer next to him to beat the drum.
The order was given, and fifty stout soldiers simultaneously raised their huge drumsticks, which were struck vigorously against the war drum made of cowhide with a circumference of about two meters.
First, there was a "Boom!" The vast war drums sounded suddenly, and the hearts of the leaders who had talked before trembled and stopped talking, and they subconsciously looked at the naked wrestlers who were holding drumsticks, and then there were three "dong dong dong-", and 40,000 soldiers began to line up with small broken steps.
Under the gaze of thousands of Qiantou and the rhythmic war drums, the 40,000 soldiers quickly formed one hundred people phalanx after another, and then converged into a thousand-man army formation, and finally closed into four boxy 10,000-person square formations.
The process of the formation took about two quarters of an hour, and the two armies in the distance were within five miles.
Lu Zhe slowly walked to the front of the platform, he looked at the vast sea of people below, and his right arm was raised high.
As the figure on the stage raised his right arm, the 40,000 soldiers immediately shouted: "Hey-hey-hey-"
It seems that it was affected by the soldiers' high drinking, and the more than 200,000 onlookers who came to watch because of Mu Xiu today shouted emotionally.
The long-term shouting slowly stopped, and the fifty wrestlers who had been signaled continued to beat the war drums, leaving only the rapid and full of golden drums in heaven and earth.
And this is just a prelude to the traditional ritual - (to be continued......
