Liu Daku's mind was clear, so he relieved himself first, and hurriedly flattered with a smile on his face: "The name given by the adult is really imposing!" The knowledge in it is also deep, it is seventy-two, and it is a large warehouse, and when people hear it, they feel that we must be very large here, and the materials are extremely abundant-"

Su Dacheng also said, but he was clumsy in words, and there were no new words in his mouth.

Dong Ce smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "In addition to this, there is one more thing." ”

"I've been here many times, but I see that there seem to be fewer of you here."

"Isn't it!" As soon as they said this, the two of them complained in unison, Liu Daku said: "When the seventy-two mansions were first built, there were few things, the ground was also small, and a dozen or so people under their hands could take care of it, but now there are more than ten times more things than at the beginning?" The number of manpower required has increased dramatically. It's just that I waited under my hands, but there were still only about a dozen people who were recruited at the beginning, and they couldn't take care of the heels that hit the back of their heads all day. We've wanted to recruit some people for a long time, but now that the Rock Fort can do the work, the young and middle-aged men with strength are basically soldiers, and the rest are also apprentices in the workshop to learn the craft, where can we recruit people? ”

Su Dacheng waited for Liu Daku to finish speaking, and added in a low voice: "With people outside, I feel uneasy." ”

Dong Ce glanced at him approvingly: "It's right to have this thought." The things stored in the treasury of these seventy-two mansions are all secrets of the Rock Fort, especially some of them, which are even more invisible, so the manpower used must not only be the center, but also our own talents. There is no loyalty alone, wealth is moving, and loyalty alone can be bought, but they are their own people, and their families are in our hands, so when they want to betray, they have to think about it, this is the reason. ”

The two even claimed to be.

In front of them, Dong Ce didn't shy away from anything, anyway, what was in the seventy-two mansions, the two of them knew best, but they couldn't hide it if they wanted to, and it didn't make sense to hide it. On the contrary, it is necessary to explain the reason thoroughly to them, so that they can act well.

"In this way, the two of you will discuss and discuss, come up with a charter, and also give the official a statement." Dong Ce stopped, nodded at the two of them, and said, "In the future, the official plans to appoint a steward in each small warehouse, there is no grade, but there is a lot of monthly silver every month." Roughly equivalent to the current level of the two of you. Under each steward, each of them leads several kudins. And all the stewards are under the command of you two ambassadors and deputy envoys. Of course, the monthly silver of the two of you will also rise a lot. You hand over the slip first, how many stewards are needed, how many kudin are needed under each steward's hand, how much more, how much less, all write in detail. When the time comes, when our Rock Fort will take in the displaced people again, the official will send them to you. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Both of them hurriedly responded, but they were surprised and happy in their hearts.

I am glad that it seems that the adults really attach great importance to our seventy-two treasury, and they are so attentive to such things, and they are obviously thoughtful. And after such a restructuring, there are more people under the hands of the two of them, and their power has increased invisibly. Not to mention, the monthly silver will also increase a lot.

I was shocked that I don't know how much impact the establishment of these stewardship positions will have on my own authority and power, and if there is such an extra layer between him and Kuding, will it thin his own power?

Dong Ce naturally ignored their thoughts, and he took his family members directly to the Ding District in the northwest corner of the outer city. According to the plan at the time of the founding of the city, the four right-angled triangle areas on the four corners of the Rock Fort, Area A in the northeast corner are granaries and forage fields, Area B in the southeast corner is the arsenal, Area C in the southwest corner is the artisan area, and District D in the northwest corner is the horse farm horse circle.

District B and District D, where the 72 Mansion Treasury is located, happened to be a diagonal and the distance was quite far, and everyone rode horses, and they also walked for a while to arrive.

In the middle, Dong Ce sent two family members back, one was to go to his own house to get the extremely well-preserved big lifting gun found in Yu'an Xiangdun, and the other was to go to the workshop area to recruit Du Jianhe to come over to meet, and by the way, find a few craftsmen who tested the most Lu Mi guns in the hot weapon group.

There is a circle of walls around the outside of the Ding District, all of which are strictly in accordance with the regulations of the design of the rock fort, below is a large blue stone foundation, the hard ground is dug into three feet deep, and the big blue stone foundation is a wall made of blue bricks. Although it is only six feet tall, it is thick and sturdy, and it will be quite useful if you are to engage in street fighting.

There was a gap in the wall facing the southeast, but there was no doorway in the gatehouse, not to mention the door panel, but the wall was missing so much, in fact, it was useless to ask for the door - Dong Ce and the others rode in, only to see a desolation.

The original planning role of this Ding District was to be a horse farm horse circle, but now Dong Ce's war horses are basically raised in Anxiangdun, as for the horse farm, the vast field around Anxiangdun is a horse farm. It's because there is no place at all, and it has been deserted, but when there are more war horses in the future, this place will definitely be used.

This place is located in the northwest corner of the rock fort, and the straight-line distance from the Qingfeng Mountain behind the city is only about 100 meters, and you can see it really when you raise your eyes. The ground was rugged, and the soil did not seem to be thick, and there were stones of all sizes, and in the cracks of the stones, on the thin layer of soil, long thatchs came out, showing a yellowish and dilapidated scene at the end of winter.

However, this look is exactly what Dong Ce wants.

Dong Yongzhen pointed to the north and said, "Master, when my subordinates came to see it yesterday, I saw a few adobe walls over there, and the black light blinded me to see it really, but it was undoubtedly made of adobe, and my subordinates also pulled a piece of soil down from it. ”

Dong Ce said with a smile: "Your hand strength, I'm afraid that even stones can get oil, and it's nothing to deduct a piece of soil." ”

A few family members laughed with each other.

A few men marched forward on horseback, and sure enough, after walking a short distance, they saw several adobe walls standing on the ground, which should have been a dilapidated earthen house, surrounded by barren grass. I don't know how much rain, snow, wind and frost have been devastated, the roof has long been gone, and a few earthen walls are only less than one person high, and there are holes of all sizes on them, and I don't know whether they are drilled by long insects or eroded by rain, and some are missing half of them, and there are also a lot of weeds on them. Only the western wall is still well preserved.

Dong Ce rode his horse and walked around, and this wall was about a hundred meters away from the west wall of District Ding, which was just right.

The family members didn't know what the master was looking for such a broken wall, but they obeyed Dong Ce's orders without discount.

At that broken wall, everyone dismounted, Dong Ce came down and walked around the wall twice, pressing his hand on it, pushing it, it was quite strong, and there was no sign of loosening.

Dong Ce nodded, quite satisfied.

When they got to the ground, they put the wooden box containing the big gun on the ground, and the servants untied everything they were carrying on their backs.

This thing has been carried on their backs since they left the Dong Mansion, but after Dong Ce came back yesterday, he ordered the carpenter's workshop to work hard overnight, and it was delivered early this morning.

It's a piece of wood.

It was about three inches thick, quite thick, with a three-foot-high plank and a two-foot-wide plank at the top, and a long wooden stake with a sharpened bottom underneath. Under Dong Ce's guidance, the family members used hammers to wedge these wooden planks into the ground, and the pointed wooden stakes were driven deep into them, exposing only the three-foot-high planks on the ground.

There were five planks in total, lined up along the earthen walls.

After the planks were hammered, the family members who were sent out came back, and they also brought the guns and Du Jianhe and his cadres.

This large lifting gun is much better preserved than these found in the back, and it is very beautiful, behind the slender barrel is a thick and strong brass butt, which is three feet long, the front end is straight, the rear part is curved, forming a graceful arc, and a few anti-skid lines are cast on it, which is very comfortable in the hand and very textured.

Dong Ce is very concerned about this is also a treasure, and when he doesn't use it, he always rubs it with protective oil and puts it in the big box that held it at the beginning, puts it in his own home, and takes it out from time to time to play with it. This kind of thing that is very different from the firearms of later generations, but it is also powerful, stout, and full of violent aesthetics, Dong Ce likes it very much.

Du Jianhe and the four craftsmen of the hot weapons group came together, and they hurriedly came over to greet Dong Ce, but they were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know what Dong Ce had called them for.

Dong Ce didn't say much, but just ordered them to build another stone wall on the north side of the earthen wall with his family. His requirements for this stone wall are not high, and they are not very delicate, as long as they are as high and thick as the earthen wall, and they do not need to be plastered and repaired in the middle, but there is one, at least it must be strong enough. It's not a difficult task, there are large and small stones here, all of them are ready-made, and there is no need for a special mason, these are basically strong laborers from the farmer's background. They brought in stones, the largest of which was at the bottom of the foundation, and the size of the stone was built on top of it, and some of the smaller pieces of stone were stuffed into the cracks of the big stones, so that they could be strengthened and balanced. For later generations, it may be inconceivable not to use lime cement for reinforcement, but in this era, there is no need to worry at all. Buildings made entirely of stone without any adhesive are somewhat, let alone a wall.
