Warring States Eagle

On the afternoon of April 25, Tianwen Nine Years.The sun was setting and the evening breeze was blowing gently.

On the open space in front of the gate of the bandit cottage, more than 150 men, women and children knelt on the ground in a mess. Most of them lowered their heads and their bodies trembled slightly.An hour ago, through the dictation of the bandits who surrendered, these people knew everything that happened in the cottage. Although they were repeatedly told that the new lord would not harm them, they were still terrified. Some people even thought that the new lord was actually It is the new bandit leader.

Zheng Liang is very clear about the thoughts of these people. If these people's thoughts are allowed to grow, it is likely that these people will try to escape.Once they escape, the situation that will lead to the demise of the bandits in the territory will be leaked, and it will inevitably lead to the siege of the nearby tyrants and other bandits who have long coveted the territory.In this regard, Zhengliang can't always arrange a large number of people to guard these people?Therefore, Zheng Liang could only come to inspect these newly joined citizens in person, in order to stabilize the hearts of these people as soon as possible and ensure the stability of the territory.

Standing on the temporary high platform, Zheng Liang slowly glanced at the people below, and then said, "Everyone, from today onwards, there will no longer be bandits in Ye Gaoshan, no matter what you have done before, you will not be held accountable, and now you will become My subjects. I, Luo Shizhengliang, your new lord, will ensure that you all live in peace. But..." Zhengliang looked majestically at the crowd who was moved by his words just now, and said solemnly, "Who is trying to escape from the territory? Or they don't follow the arrangement of the territory, and they will end up." Zheng Liang pointed to the right with his right hand, and saw four heads hanging on a few wooden pillars there, which were the heads of Banshi Dalang and his son and Daishi Yeer's father and son.

"Ah", there was an exclamation from the crowd, and everyone was obviously terrified by the tragic situation of those heads.Zhengliang didn't continue to watch the performance of the crowd, but walked down the high platform slowly, and gave Kisaburo who was already waiting below, already anxious, a wink.Kisaburo immediately bowed and saluted, then climbed up to the high platform in two steps and three steps, stood on it and looked around anxiously, hoping to find something from the crowd.But most of them lowered their heads, making identification difficult.

In fact, more than an hour ago, with Zhengliang's permission, Kisaburo had already searched for his sister who was robbed two years ago in the cottage, but still found nothing.

"Sister, are you there?" There was really no other way, so Xisaburo had to shout to the crowd below, "Sister, I am Xisaburo, Xisaburo from Xiaomaki Village, woo woo, are you here... Lord Lord Bring me to rescue you."He yelled several times in a row, but still no one responded from the crowd. Kisaburo was a little desperate. He knelt down on the high platform, looked up at the sky, and began to howl at the top of his voice.For a child who lost his father at the age of 13 and was left alone to take care of his bedridden mother and younger sister, the hopes of retrieving her robbed sister now seemed to be shattered.The shrill howling sound hovered over the silent open space, making the atmosphere of the scene even more sad.

How can people be embarrassed by this situation?

"Hey!", sighed silently in his heart. In fact, Zheng Liang didn't have much hope for this at the beginning, but he just couldn't bear to dampen the hope of this always strong child, so after learning that Kisaburo's search was fruitless, he still Arrange for him to take advantage of this meeting to search again carefully.

"Wow!" Just as Zhengliang was about to turn around and leave, a crisp baby cry suddenly came from the originally quiet crowd, obviously resonated by Kisaburo's cry, and they also burst into tears.Zheng Liang looked around and saw a woman with disheveled hair and ragged clothes tremblingly standing up, holding a crying baby wrapped in a rag in her arms.The woman squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and staggered towards the high platform. Her pale lips trembled slightly due to excitement, "San...Sanlang, is...is that you?"

"Sister?" Kisaburo on the high platform obviously recognized his sister, jumped off the high platform desperately, and scrambled to meet the woman.

"Sanlang! Wuwuwu...", "Sister!" Finally, the two met. After looking at each other for a short while, they hugged each other tightly and burst into tears uncontrollably.People around who had the same experience couldn't help but feel emotional and wept one after another.For a while, there was a cry in the open space.

"Huh", take a deep breath, it turns out that miracles really exist!Zheng Liang sighed in his heart.He turned around and looked at the retainers behind him, and found that everyone was sobbing, Togo Heiji was even in tears, maybe he was moved and pleased, or maybe he blamed himself for not protecting them well.

"Hehehe, everyone, family reunion is a joyful thing! Heiji, you are in charge of this place, please appease them. Chujiro, call the two newly appointed craftsmen to me."Zhengliang calmed down a little, and then said.Such a result is the best, Kisaburo's family is reunited, and through this incident, the psychological distance between his new lord and these new subjects has been greatly shortened, and their fear has been reduced.

"Small man, Yubei, I greet Your Highness", "Little man, I really help, I greet Your Highness".When the two heard the lord summoned them, they trotted over and saluted Zheng Liang, both of them seemed uneasy.

"Well, you two are welcome to join our family. In the future, I will entrust you to the woodwork and construction work of the territory." Masaragi smiled and said to the two craftsmen kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, Your Highness." The two of them usually faced vicious bandits. Today, they suddenly received the courtesy of the new lord. Obviously, they couldn't get used to it, so they had to bow down and salute again at a loss.

"Hehe, Youbei, take this, study it, and see if you can make it." Zheng Liang took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Youbei.On the paper was a drawing of a wooden chair with a brush, which was drawn by Zheng Liang on the spur of the moment before inspecting the new people.In fact, he was very unaccustomed to the way of sitting on the spot with knees bent in this era. After sitting for a long time, his bowed legs would come out, so after hearing that there was a carpenter in the cottage, he planned to build some chairs.Of course, he didn't intend to promote this sitting method. After all, everyone was already used to the etiquette of sitting on knees, and there was no need to change it at the risk of arousing objections from his retainers. Zheng Liang planned to use it for his private time to rest.

Yubei hurriedly got up and took Masaragi's paper, carefully studied the pattern on the paper, frowned, and finally said, "Your Highness, I have never made such a wooden tool, but I can try."

"Yeah. But be careful not to leak this picture, just limit it to the few people present. In addition, during this period of time, you should pay attention to cooperate with Chujiro to build farm tools. In terms of materials, you can find lucky help to solve the shortage of farm tools in the territory as soon as possible. Question. In terms of manpower, I will arrange some little guys to help you as apprentices, and the territory will be responsible for their food," Zheng Liang nodded and ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness," Yubei bowed in salute.

"Masuke, how long will it take to repair the current cottage wall?" After ordering the friendly guards, Zheng Liang turned to look at Zhensuke and said.

"Your Highness, if we just re-build the foundation and then use wood and mud as the city wall, it will take about half a month if we have sufficient manpower; if we use stone materials and build the city wall into stone walls, it will take about four to five months." , Zhensuke frowned and decided, and then reported.

"So long?" Zhengliang didn't expect that it would take so long to simply build the city wall of the cottage. The wall made of wood and mud must be eliminated first. Such a structure can collapse the city wall in a typhoon. It took too long, and there was a serious shortage of manpower. Once too many people were deployed, the construction progress of the territory would be greatly delayed.Zheng Wu pondered for a while, then said, "Come with me", and then walked to the back of the cottage first.

Under the leadership of Zheng Liang, the crowd quickly came to the vicinity of the copper mine, where a large amount of excavated soil and stones were placed. At the same time, a small stream about five meters wide flowed slowly along the terrain not far away. "Did you see there?" Zheng Liang pointed to a small hill near the forest not far away, "Build a few earth kilns according to this pattern, the more earth kilns the better," Zheng Liang said, continuing Too early, he ordered the surname Sahachiro to draw a sketch of a simple brick kiln on a piece of paper that he had prepared in advance.

"Yes, Your Highness, this can be completed tomorrow." Shinsuke once followed his father to build a castle tower for the daimyo, and such a simple cave construction was indeed very simple for him.

"Have you seen these loess?" After confirming that Zhensuke understood the structure of the brick kiln, Masara pointed to the piles of loess in front of him and continued, "Make a pile of loess, hollow out the middle, pour clean water, After two hours, start mixing the mud. When mixing the mud, smash it with a wooden stick to increase the stickiness of the soil, smash it at least twice, and wait until the mud is dry and evenly distributed, so that it can be made into an adobe."

Shinsuke didn't understand what the lord asked him to do, but he still wrote down Masara's request word by word on the paper.

"Ask someone to level an open space in front of the earthen kiln. The bigger the open space, the better. After leveling, cover the flat with a layer of fine white sand. The white sand can be dug from that creek. At the same time, the coastal area will be repaired. The embankment of the river," Masara continued to order, "Youbei, you follow this pattern and use dried wood to make dozens of such molds."What Zheng Liang painted was a brick mold. Wooden tools were made of planks 40 cm long, 20 cm wide, and 1 cm high. Two pairs of them faced each other to form a rectangle, and the bottom was spliced ​​with one to three planks about 45 cm long.

"Yes, Your Highness," Yubei quickly bowed and saluted.

"Masuke, after Yubei's mold is ready, you arrange people to fill the mold with the reconciled mud, pound it firmly, put it on the site, and finally open the mold, and finally a strip of building mud will be formed It's ready. Put the mud for two to three days. After the surface of the mud turns white, you can stand up the mud to dry. Be careful not to get wet by the rain." Zheng Liang continued to order, "After all these are prepared, cut more firewood from the nearby mountains, but only larger trees are allowed to be felled, and small trees are not allowed to be felled. Of course, it is best to arrange Too many people burn charcoal."Zheng Liang does not want landslides or mudslides to occur when it rains after the trees on the mountain are cut down.

In the end, Masara told Shinsuke in detail about the calcination process and precautions, as well as the water filling technique after the kiln was fired.Zhensuke recorded everything in detail.

"Masuke, if these mud materials are successful, we will no longer need to use stone materials. As for the manpower, you will start recruiting people from the people tomorrow, and the exact number will be decided by you and Masuke. Each person will be a month Five buckets of miscellaneous grains," Zhengliang said at last, "but, you have to remember, what is said here today must not be spread outside the box. All the personnel involved in these tasks and their families moved to settle in the cottage, and cultivated some land outside the cottage. Give them the fields. Guangzong, you arrange people to guard the entrance of the canyon, and no one is allowed to leave without my permission. In the future, this canyon will become an important secret place of the territory."

"Yes, Your Highness." Seeing the lord's extremely serious expression, everyone secretly woke up and responded in unison.

After ordering the work of burning bricks, Zheng Liang thought of cement again.In this era, mud or mortar is generally used for construction. Once soaked in water for a long time, it is easy to cause problems. Therefore, Zheng Liang decided to try making cement himself. Even if it is not high-quality cement, but low-quality cement, the effect will be good. Also much better than current mud.So Masara once again explained the raw materials and methods of earthen cement to Shinsuke in detail.As for the raw materials of cement, lime and clay, they can basically be found on Yegao Mountain.Of course, the work of burning bricks is still a priority, and it is not too late to consider the forging of cement after the work of burning bricks is on the right track.

By the time everything was ordered, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and the sun was gradually setting.Everyone took orders and left, and Zheng Liang also walked to his new home.
