As soon as Zhao Dahui left, Dong Ce couldn't wait to return to the city, first went back to take a shower, changed into a regular dress with big sleeves fluttering, rested for a while, and then went to the workshop.

As soon as these craftsmen arrived, many of his original ideas were realized.

The workshop area is in the northwest corner of the rock fort, which was originally a barracks, only the ruins of the broken walls remained, so Dong Ce asked people to rely on those stone walls and stone walls to hastily repair a workshop. It is the appearance of a large courtyard, the courtyard is roughly divided into more than a dozen households, one household is two rooms inside and outside, there are stoves outside, and simple furniture such as water tanks, and there are big kang inside. In the southwest corner of the yard, there is also a public toilet. At the front of the courtyard is the workshop, which is divided into three areas, which house plasterers, carpenters and blacksmiths.

This is where the craftsmen go to work.

Each craftsman has its own work area, similar to a workbench or something.

At this time, the craftsmen had changed into new clothes, had eaten a full meal, and were tidying up their homes. Dong Ce glanced over, but some craftsmen were not in the workshop.

He called everyone over and said with a calm face: "Since you are on an errand under the command of this official, you have to abide by the rules of this official, and from now on you will eat and receive money and food, and you will start working now!" This official recruited you, but he didn't let you mess around! You should also know how many people rush to do the errands that they can eat well, and wear new clothes, and have money to take. ”

+ One + book + read + novel + ybdu all the craftsmen were panicked, and quickly kowtowed to apologize, saying that they must be honest in the future.

Dong Ce reprimanded them, set up rules, and sent them back, but he took two plasterers around the city.

One of the two plasterers is surnamed Gao and is named Gao Danian, and the other is surnamed Sun and is named Sun Wumu. Gao Danian was only thirty-three years old, but his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like he was fifty-three years old, Sun Wumu was about the same age as him, and he was a little younger.

Dong Ce asked a few words, and then he learned that both of them belonged to the military craftsmen of the Datong Left Guard, and their home was on the bank of the Shili River. However, since the beginning of the Wanli period, the nine sides, especially Datong Town, Xuanfu Town, and Jizhen Town, have all made great moves, building a large number of small fortresses along the border defense line, supplemented by the Great Wall farther away, and a large castle with a large number of soldiers stationed behind them, spending tens of millions of taels of silver, and constructing an extremely large and complex defense system. The border is needed, and these two ancestors have skills, so they were seconded to Ninglubao to settle down, and this stay is the time of two or three generations.

Dong Ce retreated from the others, but took the two of them out, making the two craftsmen flattered and frightened, and I don't know what Lord Dong means. They have been at the bottom of society for generations, and they are used to being bullied, so they think they are careful people, and they know how to avoid them in the army. Therefore, the two of them kept their heads down all the way, and they didn't dare to look around at all, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see and getting into trouble. When Dong Ce asked, they answered, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to answer.

Dong Ce glanced back at them, and his face was blank: "What are you two doing with your heads down?" The official took you out to let you go around the entire rock fort, and you should keep in mind the geographical location, the terrain, and the buildings in each place. After two days, the Japanese official will ask you to draw a drawing and take out the charter, and if you don't look around, you can take it out? Do you count the bugs with your head down? ”

Only then did the two craftsmen suddenly realize that they hurriedly confessed, and then they looked up and looked around, and tried to write down all the places they walked very carefully.

They were also able to settle down a lot in their hearts - since they knew that Dong Ce could use himself, they did not worry about being cleaned out at any time, so as not to waste food. And I have also found some of my own value, and I feel very comfortable.

While Dong Ce took them around the city, he asked some architectural questions from later generations, although they were separated by hundreds of years, but the truth in the middle was figured out. These two craftsmen have been craftsmen for generations, and they have seen the construction of many castles themselves, so their answers are clear. Their mouths are relatively stupid, and sometimes Dong Ce has to think about what he says to understand, but there is real material, which also makes Dong Ce feel at ease.

After all, the matter of building the city is a big matter, and once it starts, it will be thousands of taels of silver smashed into it, but I don't dare to have any negligence.

As a military name mainly used for the garrison, Panshi Fort is not big, the circumference is about two miles, and the side length is only two or three hundred meters, not to mention compared with those male cities, even if it is an ordinary county in the interior, it is seven or eight times larger than it. Even some of the most famous gentry compounds in Shanxi are not much smaller than the Panshi Fort.

It took an hour for Dong Ce to take two craftsmen to turn around the rock fort.

Now there are only a few people living in the fort, and the people live outside the fort, so most of the area of the rock fort is very desolate, with broken walls, overgrown weeds, and a few bunches of red crystal berries can be seen from time to time in the withered yellow bushes that are half a person high, which is extremely attractive. From time to time, pheasants even flew out of the bushes in a daze, making a frightened clucking sound.

After going around for a while, Dong Ce led them to the South Gate Tower, which was also the best preserved area of the entire Rock Fort.

The city gate tower and the tower are basically kept as they are, the city wall is thick and high, it is five zhang high, four zhang thick, that is, it has fallen to this point, and six horses can be parallel. The large stones wrapped around the rammed earth layer are generally intact, and each stone is enough to be more than a person long and three feet wide, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent to transport it. The city gate building has collapsed, only a half-cut wall remains, and many huge beams and pillars are lying around, and the city gate hole below is still there, but the city gate is not there.

Except for the city wall here, the city walls in other places have collapsed by nearly half, and in many places even only four or five meters high.

Standing on this city wall, the entire rock fort and even the radius is more than ten miles in full view, and only here can you really feel the majesty of this border fort.

When the two craftsmen saw it, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Dong Ce looked at the two of them and said, "I've been watching it for a long time, I can see it clearly here, if you have any ideas, just talk about it!" ”

As he spoke, he found a big stone and sat down, and pointed to the opposite of himself: "You do it too." ”

Gao Danian smiled and said: "In front of adults, how can there be a reason for a small person to sit? ”

Dong Ce listened, and he didn't force it, so he asked, "Do you have a score in your heart?" ”

Gao Danian and Sun Wumu glanced at each other, but Gao Danian said: "My lord, I don't know if the dungeon fort you want to build is a tunmin or a tunjun?" ”

Dong Ce raised his eyebrows: "How are the tunmin?" What about the Tun Army? ”

"Back to your lordship." Gao Danian cleared his throat: "If you are a resident, you need to divide most of the land in the city into blocks where people live, and divide a number of homesteads according to the number of houses to live in. And the roads in the city should also be straight and wide, straight and straight, preferably from the east gate to the west gate, and from the south gate to the north gate, with these two streets as the main trunk, and extend a number of alleys to the blocks on both sides. The alleys should also be straight, and they should be connected to each other, so that it is convenient for the people to walk. The street frontage, the street side of the yard, should be designed as a façade room, which is convenient for business or rent. In addition, if it is a tun resident, it is advisable to set up a square in the middle, with a character wall and a notice posted on it. On the other side of the eight-character wall is your official hall. The stage and temple should also be readily available, otherwise it will not be called a city. ”

Dong Ce asked again: "What if it's a tun army?" ”

"If it is a garrison, it is very different, to put it more clearly, it is the pattern of the fortress." When it comes to his professional field, he speaks much more fluently, and there is a hint of confidence in his expression. He squatted down and took a thin stick to paint on the ground, but found that the rammed earth of the city wall had already been as solid as iron and stone after thousands of years of wind and frost, but he could sharpen his knife and axe, and he couldn't move at all. He smiled awkwardly, so he picked a berry and took it and drew a pattern on the ground with red juice.

"Your Excellency, if it is a garrison, not to mention the city, the city wall must be renovated."

……

Gao Danian was talking eloquently there, and Dong Ce was already full of shock.

What did he hear?

Fortress! It was lamented by the Western soldiers of this era as "an architectural marvel fortress that cannot be attacked"!

Hollow enemy platform!

Duplex Strike!

Full firepower!

…………

What a brilliant and advanced design concept is this? In this era, the architectural art and skills of the Chinese people have reached such a profound level.
