Start a city building order

Chapter 151 Sincere Xiaoqin

The wind and snow are blowing, the land is vast, and Dashi County is like an isolated city.

Because of the geographical location, the snow here is extremely thick. Two days ago, the snow was as deep as a person. Now, at the foot of Yanhui Mountain, the snow can cover a house.

If the snow continues, the entire Dashi County will be buried here.

"I have never seen such a heavy snow. My old Guo has lived in Huangzhuangji for 45 years, and I have never seen it."

The former captain of Kaishan, the leader of the Kaishan engineering battalion, and the current director of Dashi County, Guo Laosan, expressed emotion, and there was even a hint of panic in his tone.

Two months ago, His Royal Highness King Qi ordered the reconstruction of Dashi County here. Sun Jin was made the county magistrate and Xing Bin was the county lieutenant. Because of his achievements in the battle of Fangya Mountain, he was promoted to the chief book and became an official.

At that time, he slapped his chest loudly and undertook the construction of the city wall in Dashi County. Sun Jin was responsible for measuring the acres of land, the resettlement of people's livelihood and supplies, and Xing Bin was in charge of the migration of the people.

In Guo Laosan's view, this matter was very simple, not only because of the strength of more than 3000 people in the Kaishan Engineering Battalion, but also because it was really unique at the time.

The normal construction of a county town cannot be done in a few years, because the collection of stone materials alone is the biggest problem.

But there is no shortage here, because all the stone materials can be transported from the old Dashi County, coupled with abundant manpower, within a month, the soil core for the inner wall and the stonework for the outer wall can all be done.

With the city wall, the success is half. Next, the houses in the county will rise one after another. At the fastest time, hundreds of them can be built in a day. Although they are all simple wooden houses made of stone, mud, and wood, But in fact, the airtightness is very good, and it is also strong enough. Coupled with the simple iron stove made by the craftsman company, heating and cooking are one-stop, not to mention how comfortable it is.

This method of building houses has been widely used and verified in Zhulu Pass and various villages and towns.

With houses and farmland, refugees are willing to come and settle down. Before the snow fell, the entire Dashi County had a population of 3.

Everyone is looking forward to the future. Men go to reclaim wasteland and dig water canals every day, while women and children go to the mountains to collect firewood. Kusi also brings free food. According to the standard for winter, adults are 150 catties per person, women and children One hundred catties each, and even Sun Jin, the magistrate of the county, bought three hundred carts of charcoal.

Then, there was heavy snowfall for three days and three nights. The snow was so heavy that Guo Laosan was confused and felt flustered for some reason.

He began to miss his house in Xishan City. It was not big, but it was comfortable. His wife and children were there. With such heavy snow, he didn't know what was going on there.

"Master Zhixian, I think if the snow doesn't stop, I'm afraid there will be a disaster. Should we make some preparations earlier?" Guo Laosan asked tentatively. Sun Jin is a eunuch, but no one dares to underestimate him. If King Qi ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, both he and Zhou Yue will be candidates for prime minister.

"Master Guo, are you afraid?"

Sun Jin's voice was a little low and hoarse, his face was dark, and he could even see the cracks blown out by the cold wind. He stood there like a hard stone.

No one could associate him with the chubby little eunuch four months ago.

His growth rate, as well as the degree of hard work and hard work, shocked even Li Si.

For example, the time to rebuild Dashi County was short and the task was heavy. Li Si sent Sun Jin over after careful consideration.

And Sun Jin did not disappoint. During the day, he personally led the refugees to divide the land, dug water canals and built river dams with the refugees, and talked to some experienced refugees among the refugees when he came back at night. It was very easy. Mingle with refugees.

This seems to Guo Laosan very puzzled, and sometimes he even thinks that Sun Jin is like an ascetic.

Perhaps only Li Si, who has the order to build the city, can understand that the reason why Sun Jin worked so hard was because he wanted to be recognized by others, especially the recognition of the poor people. That voice of gratitude from the heart was his The source of happiness, the motivation to do things.

"Cough, why am I afraid? I'm just worried that I will be trapped here. You see, the official road has been blocked by heavy snow." Guo Laosan smiled awkwardly.

But Sun Jin continued to ask,
"Do you think our food reserves are not enough?"

"Enough, definitely enough, plus the tens of thousands of catties of frozen fish transported from Xishan City a few days ago, the hundreds of pigs and sheep raised in our city, there is food and meat to eat, it is absolutely enough Even the fodder prepared for livestock can last for several months."

"Then, Master Guo thinks we don't have enough firewood? We don't have enough houses, so people will freeze to death?"

"No, why would I think that way? In the past two months, the county magistrate has led the people to open up mountains and reclaim wasteland. The wood he brought back has been piled up into hills. A few days ago, he brought back [-] carts of charcoal, which is definitely enough. What's more, thanks to His Highness's blessing, each of us has cotton clothes to wear, and this winter is much better than previous years."

"So, Master Guo thinks that this snow will completely bury our Dashi County?" Sun Jin was still asking.

"No, how could it be? In the past few days, the county magistrate has organized the young and strong people to work six shifts a day, using horse-drawn carriages to clean up the snow day and night. Although it is hard work, the big guy has no complaints. Even if the snow In the next ten days, I will definitely not be afraid."

"Hehe, I also ask Mr. Guo to tell the words just now from door to door, and tell the people that there is nothing to be afraid of. We have houses to live in, clothes to wear, food to eat, and meat to eat. This winter, there will be a heavy snowfall. , next year will be a good year.”

"The subordinate takes orders."

Looking at Sun Jin who continued to patrol in the wind and snow, Guo Laosan gave a wry smile. He had lived half his life, but he was bluffed by a young man. Yes, what's so scary, at worst, he was trapped in this heavy snow Chinese New Year chant.

As soon as he cheered himself up, he heard someone shouting something from the city gate. He was very excited. Guo Laosan hurried forward, and when he saw a convoy in the wind and snow, for some reason, his whole heart was broken. It was all piping hot.

In such weather, there is actually a convoy!
The fear of being trapped before disappeared without a trace, and he even yelled like a young man.

"At the order of His Highness, the Ninth Battalion of the Chariot and Horse Division and the Seventh Battalion of the Urban Construction Engineering Battalion specially braved the snow to deliver [-] vehicles of various materials to Dashi County. Sun Zhi County, please accept it."

"Chen and others, on behalf of the people of Dashi County, thank Your Highness."

Sun Jin came in a hurry, and he was also a little excited, but five hundred carts of supplies must be too much.

"Hey, Sunzhi County, don't worry, His Highness still has an order to order you Dashi County to find a way to resettle at least [-] victims of the disaster in the future. The five hundred vehicles of supplies are for this."

"Here, where did the disaster victims come from?"

"It was picked up from Xu Cheng. We dispatched more than 1 people this time. You don't know that driving in such weather is like having a nightmare. If you accidentally mess yourself up in the snow Lost. Haha!"

The commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Chariots and Horses Division was a school lieutenant, and he was wrapped in cotton clothes like a black bear. Speaking of this thrilling thing at this moment, it seemed like he was joking.

"Brother, you have worked hard this trip, did you lose any personnel?" Guo Laosan asked curiously. He was hiding in Dashi County, and he still felt scared, let alone in the wild.

"No, except for some unlucky ones with frostbitten hands and feet, there is basically nothing serious. Don't you see what His Highness has prepared for us?"

"The engineer battalion and the chariot division are coordinated. The engineer battalion clears the snow in front, and every twenty miles, it will cover a large igloo with ice and snow on the side of the road. A stove is lit inside, not to mention how warm it is. He and the horses can slow down, and our side is pretty good. It’s only about 300 miles to Xucheng, and there are still more to the east. More than 3 people are rushing to the port of Yangcheng. That's more than 700 miles."

"Hey, if you want me to say, our Highness is kind and has the courage, if you were the old men in previous years, I'll let you die."

"In short, it is not difficult to bring the victims back, but the difficult thing is resettlement. This is what Mr. Zhou said."

"Okay, hurry up and unload the car. If we arrive one day earlier, the victims may live a lot longer."

Soon, the unloading convoy disappeared into the wind and snow again. The Big Three of Dashi County stood at the gate of the city, speechless for a long time, but this time, their hearts were filled with the same pride, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

"The igloo he mentioned is good. There is still a lot of open space in the county town. Build more. As long as there is enough firewood, it should be able to survive. I will take charge of this matter." The county captain Xing Bin said.

"Okay, you can also talk to the people to see if you can vacate some houses. If it doesn't work, my brothers and I live in an igloo at the Kaishan Engineering Barracks. I'm curious. , we can also live in the Kaishan camp." Guo Laosan also brightened up.

"That's great. I'll be responsible for the deployment and management of supplies. No matter how hard this winter is, we'll definitely get through it."

Sun-jin grinned with joy and confidence, always contagious.

For some reason, even the dark sky at this moment feels much brighter.

-

Lucheng in the wind and snow is like a tomb of the living dead.

The once prosperous scene in the city has long disappeared, and even under the cover of thick snow, the outline of the ruined walls can still be seen.

There are not many people in the huge Lucheng. Only in the south city area, a street near the city gate, is there any vitality.

But there are only a few hundred soldiers living here.

They were either wrapped in quilts, lying on the kang with their heads covered, or staring at the heavy snow outside in a daze.

At the end of this street, in a three-story restaurant that is still in good condition, it is as warm as spring. Qin Qiong and Gan Ning are sitting far away, one is drinking alone, and the other is holding a dagger. A freshly roasted venison leg.

"There are still two months and eight days left, and this damn day is coming to an end. I have already made an appointment for the eighth group of Sui and Tang Dynasties. Brother Xingba, you should take a vacation after you go back. Do you want to go to Sui and Tang Dynasties as an individual?" Group eight hang up."

Qin Qiong, who was eating roasted venison, initiated a warm invitation. This time, as long as he completes the task satisfactorily, he will still earn some money, especially the prefect of Lucheng, who is very helpful in scoring the task settlement.

So now he can't wait for the task to expire tomorrow, and everyone will go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.

"I'm not interested. My historical territory has been patronized by monsters recently, and I have suffered a lot. I need to spare some time to develop it." Gan Ning obviously had something on his mind, and said sullenly.

But Qin Qiong was in high spirits at the moment, so he didn't care about him, and just continued: "Speaking of historical territories, there are not many unowned historical territories in the first heaven, and the rest are either crooked melons or demons' lands. Isn’t there a piece on the edge of the main city of your Three Kingdoms Nine Group, brother Xingba, you are not interested in being a second-hand dealer?”

"What?" Gan Ning was taken aback, unable to react for a while.

"You are qualified to take the land, right?"

"Of course."

"Guess, in this mission world, who most eagerly wants to become a historical lord instead of a historical soldier?" Qin Qiong followed her advice.

Gan Ning finally realized suddenly.

"You mean, Li Ritian?"

"Yes, he has money now, but he doesn't have the qualifications to become a historical lord, and he obviously won't be satisfied with being a historical soldier. No, he would despise even giving him a historical captain, only a historical lord. Believe me, if Xingba Dude, Li Ritian is absolutely willing to buy this qualification, so how much do you think you can earn?"

"What's your plan?" Gan Ning was really moved. He really didn't expect this. I have to say that Qin Er's stupid mind is to be flexible, or else he would not want to cooperate with the people from the Sui and Tang teams. Too black, too insincere.

"Ha, what can I have planned, but I'm—well, well, I'll just say it, I really don't have any bad intentions, I just want to give that Li Ritian some hope, let him in the last two months, ten million Please, don't make any more fools! Really, the conscience of heaven and earth."

"I dare to say this in front of Li Ritian. He has hope, you get benefits, and we all get comfort. Isn't that good!"

"It's a win-win situation!"
