Quanzhen Little Daoist starts

Chapter 215 Changes in the Border Town
But more than ten days.

Qiu Zhiqing also recruited 400 people, and refurbished the fortifications of the city. In theory, as a county magistrate, he has no military power.

But he is also a county lieutenant, so there is no problem.

During this period, the image of Qiu Zhiqing as the county magistrate was established in the hearts of the people.

The county magistrate is no longer the clay statue sitting in the county government in their impression, but a young and promising county magistrate who keeps his word and loves the people like a son.

Of course, it would be great if the county magistrate had more corvee.

In this way, they can save food for the winter, so as not to be hungry when the noodles are green and yellow.

And Qiu Zhiqing also seemed to have heard their aspirations, and began to recruit corvees for the next step.

The main reason is that Qiu Zhiqing made a bicycle lathe for quickly making arrow shafts based on what he had learned, and asked people to go outside the city to get some reeds to store as arrow shafts in case of accidents.

Qiu Zhiqing also wanted to make a three-bow bed crossbow. He used this long-range projectile principle to almost kill Mengge Khan!
But in the end he gave up, because he found that Wu Xian could throw the spear almost a mile away, and it was fast.

It is no worse than the three-bow bed crossbow that can only shoot three miles.

And this kind of thing is easy to be learned by the opponent, and the siege side uses it very comfortably!
Well, in fact, there are still some technical errors, he thinks it is not perfect, and there are four thunderbolt chariots, that is, trebuchets, in the county government armory.

Qiu Zhiqing didn't have that many people and operated large machines, so the three-bow bed crossbow plan was temporarily shelved by him.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. In normal years, Pingcheng County, which should be very quiet at this time, looks particularly bustling this year.

I heard that there are jobs in the city, food management, houses, and land for cultivation in the coming year.

Many peasant households outside the city moved into the city one after another, and the hermit households in the mountains also went down the mountain to find work.

Qiu Zhiqing treats everyone equally in this matter, arrange work, arrange work, arrange residence, arrange residence.

Even the land that should be cultivated next year will be divided one by one, and the harvest will be divided in half, and the county government, that is, Qiu Zhiqing, will provide the grain seeds for next year.

The grain seeds are the result of Qiu Zhiqing's practice of mediating good fortune in the past three years.

A kind of wheat whose harvest is [-]% higher than usual, don't underestimate this [-]% harvest.

Zhaojiazhuang at the foot of the mountain agreed to use it!

Of course, at the beginning, there was only a slight increase in production. This [-]% was the result of Qiu Zhiqing's three-year cultivation. He believed that it would become even better in the future.

This is also of great benefit to his practice of mediating good fortune.

He discovered that the Dao is really lofty in this world. In his later life, he also read many novels, how easy it is to realize the Dao.

But when you come to him, you can only enter the Tao by technique, and enter the Tao by the law.

In many cases, he can only further "enlighten the Dao" through practice and experience the magic, which can only be achieved after he mediates good fortune.

Before, he could only say that he understood nature and then influenced nature, but mediating good fortune gave him another perspective...

……

The city is full of heat, and all the villagers are enjoying the county magistrate's free two meals, learning the breathing method that they heard can keep out the cold, and they are waiting for the next spring to plant their own land.

Just when everyone thought that this year would be over like this, the bell on the Qiao Tower rang throughout the small Pingcheng.

Qiaolou is also commonly known as the city gate building. It is usually built very high, with a clock hanging on it, and it is dangerous to strike.

The people in the city of Bianjun knew what it meant.

The villagers who were still cutting reed poles outside the county town were stunned when they heard this familiar and ominous voice, and then ran towards the county town without their lives.

Those who were still working in the city were startled one by one, staring blankly at the direction from which the bell was ringing, at a loss, with a dazed look on their faces, not knowing how to react.

Instead, those young men who had received basic training rushed to the city gates they had assigned in advance one by one during the training.

This is the bell of the enemy's invasion.

It rang once last year, and those who survived it can be said to have fresh memories!
Time went back to before a cup of tea, Qiu Zhiqing was in the county office, watching the live broadcast.

In his own way, he measured the land and rivers in Pingcheng, planned irrigation water conservancy projects, how to build them, and continued to recruit people during the slack season next year.

Accidentally, I crossed the boundary and saw Qiangyin County (now southeast of Dongdaihai, Liangcheng County, Inner Mongolia) outside the Great Wall.

Qiangyin County is the northernmost county in Yanmen County. It is located outside the Great Wall. It used to be the bridgehead for the Han army to attack.

At this time, Qiangyin County should have been abandoned, and the officials and people had moved in. Otherwise, Qiu Zhiqing would have been thrown into Qiangyin as the county magistrate.

But at this moment, in the county town that should have been abandoned, there were flocks of cattle and sheep, people coming and going, and all of them were wearing Xianbei costumes.

Needless to say, you can think of it with your toes, it must be the bridgehead for the Han army to attack the barbarians in the grassland, and Xianbei regards it as the bridgehead and logistics base for attacking Bingzhou!
Then move the camera to the south.

However, they saw that the vanguard troops had already moved southward and were heading towards the Outer Great Wall. Their vanguard sentinels were less than ten miles away from the pier of the Outer Great Wall, and they arrived in a blink of an eye!
Without time to do more investigation, Qiu Zhiqing hurried to the Qiao Tower and asked the guards to ring the big bell.

At the same time, three groups of messengers were sent to take their official documents and send one copy to Yinguan County (now Shuozhou), Yanmen County, stating that Xianbei invaded the bandits, and the number of them was no less than [-].

Messenger along the way was sent to guard the pier of the Great Wall, so that once they found the enemy, they would light the beacon and retreat immediately. After all, there were more than 200 pier guards.

At that time, retreating into Pingcheng will also be a force to defend the city.

The last route is to go to various villages to inform the enemy that they are entering the bandits. Those who are willing to enter the city should quickly pack up their things and enter the city, and those who do not want to enter the city should pack up their things and run up the mountain.

Of course, the best way to enter the city is to enter the city.

After all, you can still participate in guarding when you enter the city, which means that your safety is in your own hands.

Qiu Zhiqing was also prepared to stick to it for a long time, and the prefect Guo Yan was also very clear. Yanmenguan, Yinguan (Shuozhou), and Wangtao (Yingxian), the three places are in the shape of horns.

They can support each other, and they are backed by the Inner Great Wall, which can be described as both offensive and defensive.

But Pingcheng hangs alone on the edge of the Outer Great Wall, not to mention the long distance, the Outer Great Wall has been in disrepair for a long time, and the refills are easily cut off by Xianbei cavalry.

It can easily become an isolated city, unable to effectively resist Xianbei's resistance to the inner counties of Yanmen.

Naturally, he was abandoned by Guo Yan outside the core defense circle, which is why he turned a blind eye to Qiu Zhiqing's embezzlement of those big household properties.

Apart from the fact that those big households are just local tyrants and can't make any troubles, why don't you think that Qiu Zhiqing can't stop Xianbei from entering the bandits again, and let him toss?
