Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 286 Serial Fortress, Serial Defense!
"Boy, are you going to rebuild Shuofang City with cement?" Hearing what Zhang Yi said, Niu Jinda frowned, and after thinking about it, he said, "Naturally, Shuofang's importance cannot be lost! But...for now Not to mention whether we can get so many materials to burn your cement, the most important thing is that Shuofang City is really too big, we only have more than 4000 people in our hands, and we still need some people to defend and transport food and fodder. The remaining manpower will never exceed [-] people.

The 4000 old man wanted to send 500 people for your current use, and the rest of them simply repaired the city wall of the north gate, after all, the garbage dump over there is a trouble.Yesterday Xue Wanren approached the old man and said that if he didn't deal with it urgently, there might be a plague!
Once the plague breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous! "

What Niu Jinda meant was very clear. It wasn't that he didn't want to send more people to burn cement, but that he really didn't have any extra people in his hands.As he said, Shuofang City must have a certain number of soldiers patrolling and walking out to act as scouts.Not only that, the management of the city and the defense of the city need manpower.

Moreover, it is necessary to divide a part of the food and fodder, and it is necessary to send a part of the sergeant to escort it. This manpower has gone to a large part, and the remaining four thousand available people seem to be the result of careful calculation.

However, the remaining 4000 people still need to solve the garbage problem and repair the city wall of the north gate to prevent the plague caused by the rotting garbage and the wall of the north gate will collapse because there is no foundation stone to support after the garbage is evacuated.

And these two tasks obviously need to be carried out together, so 500 people are really not too many to deal with this matter!
"It's impossible to rebuild it!" Zhang Yi shook his head, a smile appeared on his face, and he slapped his chest with confidence and said decisively: "But I'm going to put a coat on Shuofang City!"

After speaking, Zhang Yi pointed to the city wall of Shuofang City, and said: "General I want to know that although Shuofang City is high and thick, it is only made of rammed earth after all. It is already dilapidated, and the break of the north gate is the result of wind and sand erosion!"

"That's right! That's what I'm worried about!" Xue Wanren also sighed, and said, "Actually, during the time I was defending Shuofang in recent years, the walls of Shuofang City have been broken in no less than fifteen places, and it was only after repairs that they finally broke. This look!

The north gate is because the broken place is too big and the area is too large, so I have no choice but to treat it as the other side of the garbage."

"Hey, it's because of too few people!" Niu Jinda also understood Xue Wanren's approach very well, and immediately affirmed: "It is your credit that two thousand people can defend Shuofang! What does a big man look like? Although this It is inappropriate to pile up the garbage at the north gate, but fortunately we are lucky, and nothing unacceptable has happened, so you don't have to blame yourself!"

"That kid, do you want to rebuild the city or just repair it?" Niu Jinda looked at Zhang Yi again, because he didn't understand Zhang Yi's meaning after talking for a long time, so he asked again.

"Building a new building is naturally impossible!" Zhang Yi said: "Not to mention that we don't have enough manpower, and the firing of cement, bricks, sand and stones are also big problems, so it is absolutely impossible to rebuild on the original foundation. It's possible, but the kid wants to put a new dress on Shuofang City, if you don't know, what do you want from the general?"

While talking, Zhang Yi gestured and said: "As we have seen, although the city walls of Shuofang City are dilapidated, the materials used to build Shuofang City were very sufficient and the quality was also very high, which is why it can become the city on the edge of the grassland. A lion! However, although it was strong back then, it is now like a weather-beaten old man with the invasion of time. Although he has a foundation, he is old and unbearable!

In the past two days, I have also looked around. Outside the north gate, the walls of the south gate, east gate and even the west gate are actually broken to a certain extent, and there are countless cases of cracks. According to the current situation It can be seen that it is undoubtedly very difficult to defend against the large-scale attack of the Turks!So what I want to do is to pile up red bricks on the outside of the city wall and pour it with cement to put such a coat on him!
For the concrete formed after the cement solidifies, everyone must be very aware of its firmness. In this way, we can save a lot of time and also strengthen the city. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? "

"Okay! You're a smart kid!" Niu Jinda's eyes lit up immediately, because Zhang Yi's idea allowed him to find a way to save effort and effort, but he still said: "However, how to deal with the garbage at the North Gate is also a problem. question!"

"That's right, Lizi. The garbage at the north gate is also a big problem. You can smell it from afar. Why don't we deal with the garbage first?" Tang Peng is undoubtedly the most afraid of death. Whether he will be attacked or not is still unknown, but if the garbage is not disposed of, a plague will definitely break out. He doesn't want to die here.

Hearing the worries of the two, Zhang Yi was speechless for a while.

If the facts need to rely on the army, then it is really game over.

As the later Taizu said, the people's army cannot stay away from the masses. Once it is separated from the support of the masses, neither the army nor the court will be a rootless duckweed.

Zhang Yi felt that this sentence was very correct, and he didn't understand why Niu Jinda and these big shots didn't consider these people or merchants in Shuofang City.

You must know that Shuofang, as the mouth of the Hetao, can not help but be a strategic location, and on the contrary, it is also a link linking the people of the Great Tang and Hetao Grasslands!
Here, more than [-]% of living resources such as salt, iron, and hemp on the grassland are traded here and spread out.In other words, the safety of Shuofang City also represents the interests of everyone in the entire Shuofang City. Since they are all a community of interests, why can't they put in a little labor if they can share the dividends brought by Datang?
Immediately, Zhang Yi said: "Don't you think that there are people besides the army in Shuofang City? The completion of the repair of Shuofang City is equally important to them. I think the people here are not just ordinary people. ?”

"That's right! Why didn't I think of this?" Xue Wanren only felt that his brain was really busy. As Zhang Yi said, although there were not enough soldiers, there were still many merchants and people in the city! "
