Chapter 73 Building the City Wall

Rong An didn't think so.

He felt that Chu Yin was as careful as a hair, and thoughtful about things.

Just like building a border town.

Building a city is not so simple, not to mention the terrain factors, but the size of the city, the pros and cons of offense and defense, etc. must be carefully considered.

There are also how to resettle the people, how to stabilize the people's livelihood, and how to solve the livelihood is even more troublesome.

But for these, Ms. Chu has a detailed response plan.

The counselors certainly contributed a lot, but without Ms. Chu's guidance, checking for leaks and filling in gaps, and even her courageous support, it would have been difficult to accomplish.

The blueprints for the construction of the sixteen border towns had already taken shape, and he couldn't find any faults after reading them.

Stone materials are easy to find, but bricks, tiles and wood materials need to be raised slowly.

Now during the truce, the army has deployed a large number of people to mine stone and prepare the materials needed for the construction of the city wall.

Before the imperial envoy arrived, Chu Yin specially arranged for counselors to test how to make the city wall stronger.

What she used was the recipe she found in the book, mixing sand, stone, plant ash, lime, etc. with glutinous rice soup.

However, the ratio of materials needs to be continuously adjusted to ensure its firmness.

Now it has been tested for the third time, and when it is perfect, I will find an opportunity to dedicate it to local officials.

Rong An went for a run first, came back to wash up, read Chu Yin's diary carefully, and had a comprehensive understanding of what she was doing, and then went to the Armaments Department to do the experiment in person.

There are many skilled craftsmen gathered in the Department of Armaments. They not only provide weapons support for the soldiers, but also keep improving.

Chu Yin provided the prescription, and then handed over the matter to a counselor surnamed Ge.

Mr. Ge is humble, has a certain degree of research on ordnance, and is willing to lower his profile, so the cooperation with the Armament Department is very harmonious.

Even if there were occasional disagreements, a consensus could be reached quickly. He even paid for the mung bean soup prepared by the gang leader at his own expense, to moisten the lungs and reduce dryness for everyone.

When Rong An arrived, they were shelling a wall.

The wall is about one person high and more than two feet long.

With the sound of a deafening cannon, the ground trembled three times, and there were only some debris splashing on the wall.

Smiles appeared on the faces of the Armaments Department and Mr. Ge, and they clapped hands in celebration.

Turning around and seeing Rong An, Mr. Ge trotted over to report the progress of the experiment, "I guess it will be settled after two more times.

"The cannons in our army have also undergone two improvements, and their power has increased by [-] to [-] percent compared to ordinary cannons."

Rong An nodded with a smile, gave a few words of encouragement, and left here.

Everything is going in the right direction, the only thing that is lacking is money. Although the smart Miss Chu has already raised some by herself, the emperor's uncle shouldn't just sit idly by.

Thinking that Chu Yin had promised to show the soldiers a competition, he asked someone to send an order that anyone who was not on duty could go to the martial arts field.

Not to mention others, the young general Wang Heng was full of enthusiasm, and he begged General Wang to recommend him for him, and he must worship the general as his teacher.

Rong An squeezed Wang Heng's shoulder, "You should practice with Rong Shui for a while first."

Wang Heng's face collapsed, and then seeing Rong Shui's calm face, he bit his lip, "Yes! I will definitely not disappoint the commander in chief!"

Rong An thought for a while about how Chu Yin would deal with such a situation, and added: "I can't accept disciples casually because of my identity, and you have seen Rong Shui's skills, not much worse than me.

"You study hard. If you have a chance in the future, you can be transferred to the commander-in-chief to listen to him."

Wang Heng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Marshal!"

He turned his head and kowtowed to Rong Shui on the ground.

Back in the handsome tent, among a pile of official documents, I saw a letter from the capital.

It was from his parents.

Rong An was a little puzzled, they rarely corresponded on weekdays.
