The shape of this city wall is very similar to a human ear, with the upper pinna in the north, the earlobe in the south, the pinna in the east, and the tragus in the west.

In order to facilitate outsiders to enter the city, a total of 5 city gates will be built, one in the north and one in the south, and the city gate in the east needs up to 3 city gates. Among them, the city gate closest to the north will be transformed into a train passage in the future. Able to enter and exit the city normally.

The construction scale of these 5 city gates is not small. Now the two city gates in the east are being built. After all, the number of craftsmen and the number of building materials are somewhat inadequate, only step by step Too.

There are not many artisans responsible for building walls, most of the craftsmen are responsible for soil transportation and compaction, because the wall construction only requires 2 very thin walls, the amount of engineering is not too large, and the soil in the middle of the 2 walls The width is up to 30 feet. Although the soil is taken nearby, because the soil required is too much, more labor is required. In addition, compaction also requires manpower, and in order to build the city wall more The sturdiness of the wall must be synchronized with the masonry, so that the best effect is achieved.

In fact, if the material is insufficient, the masonry wall can be completely replaced with soil. In the later generations of rural tile buildings, many of them used loess as a binder when building, and there is no big problem, that is, the walls of the house are easy to crack. all.

However, for the quality of the city wall, Li An decided to use the material of cement mortar, and if there is surplus cement in the future, a layer of one-thick cement mortar should be applied to the surface of the outer city wall to further increase the city. The defensive power of the wall, at the same time, makes the outer wall of the city wall look neat and tidy, and can also cover the small stairs generated by the concession of each floor brick, thereby further preventing the enemy from climbing up the city wall.

“Minister Li, just simple compaction, I am afraid it is not enough! Not strong enough.”

A subordinate saw the city wall designed by Li An and said.

In fact, many ancient city walls were made of whole soil, not the brick city walls seen in TV series, and there are not so many brick materials. Unless it is an important city such as a capital, it is possible to cast a layer of stone on the exterior. Or bricks.

Even the Great Wall, which attracts worldwide attention, is a city wall made of yellow mud in some areas. It is only that in stone mountainous areas that’s all.

And you 10000000 do n’t think that the city walls made by loess are all tofu projects, then it ’s wrong. Many historically used city walls made by loess are very strong city walls, for example, built by the Huns The 10000 city of the capital city is a city wall built entirely of mud.

However, the city wall of this city is extremely reinforced. The city wall, which does not need to be built of stone at all, is weak. It is said that in order to ensure the firmness of this city, the Xiongnu leaders gave extremely abnormal specifications when building the city wall.

That is the construction party responsible for the construction and the inspection party responsible for the inspection. One party must be executed. The specific method is that after the city wall is built, let the inspection party poke with the iron vertebrae. If the iron cone can enter the city wall one inch in length It means that the construction craftsman sloppy-work of the city wall is going to be executed, and if the length of the iron stab is less than an inch, it is that the person in charge of the test is not forceful, and the person in charge of the test is to be executed.

Under such a harsh system, the craftsman responsible for manufacturing will do everything possible to make the city wall extremely strong to ensure that the inspector cannot penetrate an inch deep, and the inspector is also afraid of being executed, so they will During the test, I tried my best to stab the iron cone into the depth of one inch to save my life.

Both sides want to save their lives, so they formed a competition, so they try to restrain each other, so as to improve their skills step by step, and finally make the created city wall extremely strong.

This kind of city wall made out of human life is very inhuman. However, the solidity of Tong 10000 city will also be recognized as strong by the world, and this solid city wall is just that’s all made of mud.

Therefore, as long as it is built with care, the city wall made of clay can also be very strong, but it also requires a lot of energy, and Li An allows the craftsmen to compact with their feet casually, obviously impossible to create a strong city Wall, and Li An relies on it, but it is 2 brick walls that’s all inside and outside, and does not care much about the internal soil structure.

“Not strong, will it?”

Li An said with a smile.

The subordinate busy said: “Minister Li, if the enemy launched an attack, excavate the city wall under the city wall, as long as the outermost layer of brick wall is destroyed, you can easily dig the earth wall inside, although the earth wall is enough It ’s 30 feet thick, but if it ’s not strong enough, it wo n’t last long! ”

The subordinates are all telling the truth. This is indeed the case. If the soil wall with a large thickness is not tight enough, the defensive power of the city wall is doubtful, and it may be cracked by the wall digging on the siege side. And the more solid the wall is, the more difficult it is to dig through and the longer it will take.

In the war, time can represent victory or defeat. If you can dig through the city wall earlier, the siege side will have a huge advantage, and if it takes a long time to dig a part, the defender will be enough. Time to dispatch troops to close the gap.

Li An naturally understands this truth, but the population size of Harbor in the future can reach a few hundred thousand, or even more, and the defensive soldiers and horses will be very sufficient, and the military technology will be particularly advanced. So, where will there be enemies? Dare to pay attention to this city, the construction of the city wall is only for good public security, and it is necessary defense that’s all. It does not need to pay special attention to defense. If it is really suppressed by the enemy, you can only rely on the city wall to defend. The Great Tang Empire may have fallen, and even if it can stand for a while, it will eventually be lost. The offense is always the best defense. The defense is necessary to engage in, but it can only be a subsidiary status, and it should be ranked after the attack. .

“Your worries also have some truth, but our current number of craftsmen is limited, and the manpower is very insufficient. There is no need to strive for excellence on the city wall. As long as it is almost enough, do you think someone will dare to attack the city of Great Tang, The biggest function of building a city wall is the necessary defense and image engineering that’s all, and it is for the stability of public security. If such a large city does not create a city wall, it seems not suitable. “

Li An spoke out his mind.

Subordinates nodded and said: “Minister Li is right. My Great Tang Empire is so strong. Someone will come to provoke it. The city wall does not need to be too strong, it is enough, it is enough.”

Li An laughed, looking up, a few hundred soldiers escorted a large amount of wood, these woods are all irregular, at first glance is the construction waste after demolishing the building.

“What are these things and where did they come from.”

Li An asked.

“Minister Li, these are the materials for the construction of the arrow tower! There are more than 30 villages in the surroundings. Each village has several arrow towers. It was originally used to deal with the remnants of the pirates. But now, all the pirates are annihilated. With so many arrow towers, it ’s useless, so before the soldiers and horses in the villages were evacuated, they were all demolished and shipped together. Anyway, Harbor needs construction materials everywhere, and these materials It will more or less ease Harbor ’s need for resources. “

Subordinates quickly replied.

Li An is very satisfied with the nodded, opened the mouth and said: “Good job, know how to live a life, know to save, haha!”

This command Li An hasn’t been issued, the subordinates have already done it, and it’s done very correctly. This really did not disappoint Li An. These arrow towers lost all their functions after the pirates were annihilated. It is a waste of resources, and after dismantling, these materials are still usable, which can greatly ease the demand for timber for Harbor construction.

However, seeing these soldiers, Li An suddenly felt that they should be allowed to do something right. After all, pirates have now been wiped out. More than 10000 Armed Forces can be said that there are basically no combat missions, and the defense mission is simply It doesn’t need so many people. Instead of letting these soldiers do nothing, let them join the ranks of craftsmen, of course, this is temporary.

Work is much more tiring than standing guard. If you let these soldiers go to work and do artisan work for no reason, they must be very reluctant to do something wrong, but there is a sentence, It ’s called having money to make ghosts grind. As long as they give these soldiers some subsidies, they can calm down their dissatisfied hearts and let them work willingly, but they do n’t earn much money as soldiers. If they do n’t, why should they refuse?

“More than 10000 generals are in charge of defense. There are really too many. If 6000 people are drawn to help the craftsmen, can the progress of the construction be increased?”

Li An spoke out the feasibility.

“Minister Li, some of these soldiers have done the work of artisans themselves, and there is no problem to get started, but they must give more money, otherwise they will be dissatisfied.”

The subordinate said.

Li An nodded with a smile said: “Is it still necessary to say, how can this official not give them enough subsidies, hahaha! The matter is so settled, you are responsible for arranging it!”

“Yes, his subordinates are leading.”

A subordinate complied and turned to prepare.

If the number of artisans is not too tight, and Harbor’s construction scale is too large, Li An will not trouble these soldiers, it is also a helpless choice, anyway, there is money.

“Everyone is doing a good job and doing a good job processing money.”

Li An boosted morale loudly and let the craftsmen work harder.

In fact, coming over to inspect the work of the craftsmen in person also has a supervisory role. As long as Li An comes in person, the subordinates responsible for this project must also be accompanied. The craftsman has no chance of lazy. The work must be full of passion, and the progress of the project can naturally be slightly accelerated.

In the evening, Li An returned to his residence and, after having dinner, asked the member of This Lowly Official of the Department about the soldiers’ opinions on the work.

“Back to Minister Li, the soldiers were quite satisfied with the compensation. Most of them expressed their willingness to work, and it was no pressure to transfer 10000 soldiers from more than 6000 Armed Forces to work.”

The subordinates were pleased to replied.

Li An seemed very happy, nodded, opened the mouth and said: “Okay, it’s so good, you have done a very good job on this matter. From tomorrow, you can let the soldiers go to work.”

“Yes, Minister Li.”

At the thought of 6000 soldiers joining the ranks of artisans, Li An’s mood is particularly good, which means that the project can be carried out faster, so that when you leave here, you can feel more at ease.

After the gradual increase of businessmen, Harbor’s night lighting work is doing better and better. In the core area of ​​the city, almost all are very bright. Walking at night does not have to worry about being tripped by something.

Li An naturally went out for a walk after dinner, and walked to the place where the pirates were tied up. On the road, there were many soldiers talking about work. These guys seemed quite happy when they talked about extra subsidies. Especially some soldiers who have worked in the past have a very original intention. Anyway, they are idle and idle. What’s wrong with earning more money? Who will not give money away.

“Ah! Go die! Go die!”

Not far ahead, a violent soldier rushed towards a pirate for no reason at all, punching and kicking. After the fight, he walked away with satisfaction, as if nothing had happened. Several soldiers laughed behind, not knowing what was laughing.

Li An walked over and looked towards a few smiling soldiers who were leaning back and forth and asked, “What are you laughing at, what’s so happy about it, and tell this official to listen.”

“Minister Li.”

Several soldiers were startled. How could they think that Li An would suddenly appear behind them.

“It’s okay, This Official is just passing by, and there is nothing to say, This Official will not blame the honest soldier.”

Li An 8 The heart of the hexagram rises and asks.

Several soldiers still hesitated, as if the matter was not very good.

“Minister Li forgive sins, the few of us went to the Young Lady to relax, there was a brother who went to that kind of place for the first time, and as a result, the union was just blinked … and it was done.”

Said one soldier brace oneself.

Li An hearing this, I immediately understood that said with a smile: “putting it that way, it was the young lady of Brothel who made fun of the soldiers who had just left, making him feel that he had no face, right.”

They are all coming over, how can Li An not understand this kind of thing, and his heart is like a mirror.

“Minister Li said that this is the case, this brother is just too face-saving.”

“It’s also Brothel’s Young Lady who is not sensible, how can you make fun of the gracious customer? It’s so ridiculous.”

The soldier responded.
