System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

"Uncle Wang!" Many fish came up to greet him and saluted respectfully.

"General Wang!" Wang Jian and Baya followed closely behind many fish.

The sun was dazzling. Wang Hao squinted his eyes and looked blankly at the people in front of him. Their faces were rosy and smooth.But he and the Qin soldiers behind him were disgraced and embarrassed.

Although he did it intentionally, it was still a loss of face to be in such a miserable state in front of the younger generation.

Many fish came forward and took Wang Lang's hands: "Uncle Wang, in order to welcome your arrival, the army has prepared meals by killing pigs and sheep."

The rich aroma of rice and the burnt aroma of roasted meat hit his nostrils, and the Qin soldiers behind Wang Lu swallowed their saliva.

"I……"

Many fish pulled Wang Lang to the military camp: "I know that you eat with the soldiers, and you also prepared delicious food for the soldiers."

Wang Lu's footsteps followed him unconsciously, since the girl was so rich: "Soldiers, let's go and eat from the rich!"

"Thank you, girl!" the Qin soldiers said in unison.

Many fish and other people traveled several miles to come specially to greet them.

Wang Hao sat on the carriage and turned his head. He could clearly see that at the end of the rolling waves of golden wheat was a barrier that was more than ten feet high and stretched for hundreds of miles.

It is like a huge yellow dragon, entrenched on the plain, dividing it into two parts, Hexi to the west and Hedong County to the east.

The entire barrier was built with three turrets per mile in strict accordance with Qin's fortification requirements.

A turret stood with drums and flags on it, and a group of fully armed soldiers with crossbows stood vigilantly on it.

"You girl..." Wang Hao smiled and shook his head. This girl really didn't suffer at all. Wang Ji expected to suffer a lot.

When Wang Hao walked to the fortress, he stepped out of the carriage, turned around, and said with a hint of seriousness in his smile: "General Xu, can your fortress accept my test?"

Supervising the construction and canal transportation on the front line should have been the duty of the censor, but Wang Hao was worried that he had already controlled the censor with many tricks.

Protecting Hexi is the bottom line of King Qin and the bottom line of the general group.

Zheng Anping, Wang Ji and Fan Ju could be blamed for the previous defeat. If Lord Xinling were to attack Hexi, it would be the incompetence of the generals.

"Uncle Wang, you dare to take such a big risk for me, how dare I betray your trust? Just check it out!" Many Fish said confidently.

Wang Hao didn't believe it. He was in a hurry and the soil here was not very hard. How could the quality of this project be any better?

Fearing that many fish would cheat for the sake of face, Wang Hao had to emphasize the seriousness of the matter: "When Lord Xinling comes, there will be a lot of flying stones. If the turret is not strong enough, it will be easily destroyed."

Flying stones are slings and the enemy of turrets.

"Uncle Wang, just test it!" Many fish were not afraid at all.

Wang Hao ordered his men to peck with the spears in their hands, bang, bang!
The barrier remained unscathed.

Wang Hao personally stepped forward to observe carefully, and then he discovered the difference between this barrier and ordinary barriers.

The barrier is taller and thicker, with the bottom made of stones and the gaps filled with clay.

"This is to prevent rainwater from soaking and affecting the foundation." Many fish explained in a low voice.

Wang Hao dug at the stones with his hands and found that the stones were not as deep into the barrier as he had imagined.

"Put the stones with their heads facing outwards and their small heads facing inward, so they are less likely to be dug." Many fish are not shy about spreading such tips.

This was what Li Bing, who built Dujiangyan, told himself.

Wang Hao didn't try to pry it himself, so he was convinced that the quality of the project was good.

Wang Hao touched the barrier again. It was cool to the touch and the surface was smooth. When he struck it with an iron tool, it made the sound of gold and stone.

Wang Hao was horrified: "What is this?" "Soil cement. It is made of loess, lime and river sand mixed in proportion." Duo Yu simply introduced.

This is what is used in the earth buildings in Guangdong and Fujian.

Its production method is extremely cumbersome. After mixing the three, it is continuously beaten and turned with bamboo chips or wooden mallets, and then stacked and left for a period of time to fuse and age.

In particular, both lime and loess have an evolutionary process from raw to mature.The length of the resting time should be controlled before the mixture hardens, which may vary from a few days to ten days, and then it is beaten and turned again.

The more times and for a longer period of time, the better the effect will be.Its dryness and humidity should be controlled so that it can form into a ball when kneaded by hand, and spread out when kneaded by hand.

Wang Hao's originally excited and trembling heart was suffocated: "How much does this earth and cement cost?"

"The cost is high, so the entire fortification is not entirely made of earth and cement. Only the turrets and the top half of the stones are made of earth and cement." Many fish felt their hearts twitching at the thought of the coins that had not yet been covered with heat. .

Wang Hao persisted and asked: "How many times the cost of building an earth-cement building is that of ordinary cement?"

"Three to four times."

Wang Lu...

"Where did you get so much money?" Doesn't Wang Lu still know how much the military expenditure is?That is definitely not enough money.

Many fish coughed a few times and said sheepishly: "Sponsored by kind-hearted people."

Wang Lu understood that this kind man was Wang Ji.

"Come, let's try this turret to see if it can withstand a few kilograms of flying stones." After that, Wang Hao ordered someone to bring out a trebuchet.

Bang!
The boulder just hit the corner!

Everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats. Is the corner tower okay?It was not smashed by Lord Xinling, but it was smashed by myself. Whose responsibility is this?
"Nothing! No harm at all!" The soldiers who went up to check were so excited that they shouted down from the turret.

While everyone was horrified, they were also delighted. The stronger the turret, the safer you would be standing on the turret!

Wang Hao happily praised the many fishes: "Excellent! When my uncle returns to Xianyang, I will take credit for you!"

Many fish looked happy on their faces, but they were complaining in their hearts. They were lucky not to be punished when they returned home, so please take credit...

Wang Lu led an army of 10,000+ and officially stationed in Hexi.

The envoys sent from Xianyang came to fight with Wang Lu and many fish supervisors every day.

Wang Lu was unmoved and only allowed the 10,000+ army to rest where they were.

News from Hedong County continued to spread through the post.

"There are rumors in Hedong County that Wang Ji has hooked up with the princes of Zhao and Wei and is slacking off in the war."

"The combined forces of Chu and Wei are overwhelming and have captured half of Hedong County."

"Wang Ji's subordinates collectively exposed him, saying that he was colluding with the enemy's country, betraying the country for glory, greedy for money and perverting the law, and doing all kinds of evil!"

"Hedong County has fallen!"

The situation became increasingly tense, and the people in Hedong County fled to Hexi like a torrent. They firmly believed that the barrier would protect them!

Wang Lu and many fish and others never took off their armor and weapons at night, always ready to fight.

"Boom boom boom!"

The drums beat rapidly, ringing from every turret, deafening!The soldiers above were still holding the flag and waving it desperately!

Hundreds of miles of barriers ignited several plumes of smoke, and the smoke rose high into the sky, warning everyone!

Lord Xinling is here with 10,000+ Zhao, Chu and Wei coalition forces!
