When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 266 Entering the courtyard for the third time

With that said, Ying Qi pointed not far away.

Everyone saw that a river that was 35 meters wide and three meters deep was being shoveled.

"How long does it have to be?" Wei Shanzhou felt a little unreal as he looked at the busy hundreds of people.

"It's not long. There are already a lot of old rivers here. The Xin family is planning to dig deep the six swamps on the north bank of Zhuque Camp on the Bei Wuding River and turn them into a lake to serve as a water storage area.

In this way, we only need to dig the 1000-meter section of the river in front of us so that the water at the bottom can move by itself. Before summer comes, the water dug out of the ground will be placed around it to form a weir. After a few years, This will become a swamp.

After autumn every year, the cofferdams are quickly dug, and then the silt is taken out to dry, and mixed with plant ash and mixed into the cultivated land to fertilize the fields.

In this way, if the cofferdam is removed every spring, this area will become a lake in less than ten years.

In the words of You Xin, we are not in a hurry to cultivate here anyway, so let’s give full play to their water drainage and water retention value first. After we start spring, when the water starts to have a temperature, we can throw some taro here. In autumn, You can also harvest more food.

Anyway, according to the amount of work we have in front of us, with more than 100 people working on it for a month, we will definitely be able to get it done before the summer floods come.

After all, the soil is not transported away, so we just build weirs around it, very quickly. "

Ying Qi's words made Wei Shanzhou feel a little relieved.

Since the Xin family has the manpower to dig the swamp, I think they are not weak.

Arrived at the old ministry soon.

Now the construction of the ditch has been completed here, and large trees taken from the mountains can be seen drying in the surroundings. In the center surrounded by farmland, rivers, and pastures, people are already tamping the land.

"Is there also a city to be built here?"

"Ah, yes, it is a small town. There is an old tribe of the Xin family here, and it is now called Jiuyi Township. The main residents are Feng, Gui, and naturalized people."

After crossing the old part, the river channel becomes much tighter.

Xin's development momentum is too fast.

Wei Shanzhou had seen Xin's appearance half a year ago, but looking at it now, it suddenly felt unreal.

Because the changes are so great!
"We're here." Ying Qi called them, and only then did Weishan Zhou realize that they had arrived at Changping City after just a quick trip.

Looking at the six-meter-high Xin Clan City with an arrow tower and sentry soldiers, all those who came from the south and had never seen Xin Clan City fell into silence and deathly silence.

Is this a city that a tributary country in the north could build?

make fun of me!
impossible!Absolutely impossible!
"This is Changping County where the Xin family lives."

"county?"

When Ying Qi saw Wei Shanzhou's confused look, he quickly said: "The county is a new level established by the Xinqu clan leader, which is higher than the general administrative city of each township.

The nearby Zeshi Township, Zuling Township (Lingquying), Jiuyi Township, Zhuqueying, Qinglongying, Linquying, and Shaze Township are all under the direct dispatch of the Changping County Yamen.

In addition, there is Yanqing County.

Below are Yanqing County, Huailai Township, Yongning Township, Tumubao, Zhuolu Township, and Shangguying, which are also directly dispatched by the Yanqing County Yamen.

There is also the most special Juyong Pass, which is the territory of General Juyong Pass. It has Gukou Village, Shuiguan Village, Juyong Village, and Market Camp.

In other words, there are two counties and one gate within the Xin clan, which controls a population of more than 4000 people in the east and west.

Already one party. "

Ying Qi introduced, with a little excitement in his tone.Really, being able to participate in the construction of one side gives me a full sense of accomplishment.

Of course, these are all planned in advance, and many of them have not yet started expansion or construction.

For example, Yanqing County is actually just a camp now. After the last defense change, Xin Qu transferred Teng She Camp there and Xin Wu took charge of the construction. It took almost three months to clear the nearby weeds and the house was still intact. If you want to use it under construction, you will probably have to wait until around the autumn harvest.

"Okay, I understand. If the Xin clan leader is busy with spring plowing, I'm not in a hurry. Let's take a walk first."

"That's it. Then you follow Wei Hai to Xiaoyi where they are temporarily staying, and I'll report to the clan leader."

Ying Qi left.

Spring plowing is a big deal, this is common sense for farming tribes.

Therefore, Wei Shanzhou did not bother him in a hurry and followed Wei Hai to Xiaoyi where they were staying temporarily. He looked at their house and said, "It's really luxurious. You are allowed to live in such a house!"

Wei Hai frowned slightly. What did he mean?
"Last year, the Xin family did not have such a large scale. I lived in a military camp at the heel of the city, crowded with a group of people. Then you lived in a small courtyard similar to the Xin family's Yamen. What the hell are you doing? After entering the courtyard for the third time, the Xin family’s Yamen has only entered the second!”

Wei Shanzhou passed through the southeast corner, then turned around, walked through the screen wall and arrived at the patio.

Wei Hai, who was scolded, smiled bitterly and said: "What you are saying is that this was just completed in the past few days. Before, there was a small courtyard, similar to the Xin family. Look at the ground, there is still a pile of soil!
They said it was built in advance to welcome the prince, and we had only stayed there for a few days. "

"That's an advantage for you." Wei Shanzhou knocked on the pillar and said with an envious look, "Don't stay in the one at the back. That's the back compartment, specially for nobles and women."

"Don't worry, they have an explanation, and we know it too." Wei Hai nodded quickly.

"Don't you have a brother? Where is he?" Wei Shanzhou frowned and looked around, but couldn't find anyone.

"Weiping went hunting. A lot of wild deer came from the mountains to the north of the Youxin family, as well as a large number of wild beasts. He heard that there were tens of thousands of deer, so he followed Youxin's axe."

One of the men answered truthfully.

"The north side... I remember that side was burned by fire?"

"Yes, but spring has come, and the grass has begun to grow, and the growth is very gratifying. The Xin family has already started hunting, and it is estimated that a lot of deer skins will be harvested this year."

"Okay, good news!" Wei Shanzhou was delighted, "It seems that we can buy more cheap deer skins this year."

"Okay, I live in the west wing. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Wei Shanzhou passed through the courtyard and saw a small garden, a road paved with cobblestones, and a thatched shed.

There are tables and chairs under the thatched shed. Although it is a wooden pile with a chipped surface as the tabletop, the combination of grass, wood and stone in the small garden does have a unique flavor.

"Oh, what a great place! Xin's buildings always give people an inexplicable sense of attraction.

Last time I wanted to ask the Xin family to ask the slaves to go back and build one for themselves.

Gee. "

Wei Shanzhou liked the layout here very much. When he opened the door, it was relatively dark inside. However, this time Xinqu upgraded the rammed earth building. On the top of one wall, a railing and a wooden frame were set up to allow light to come in, which was perfect in winter. Sometimes it is necessary to replace the spliced ​​wooden boards to block the wind.

In this way, the room is slightly brighter.

As for whether the window opening is reasonable or not, Xinqu doesn't care. As long as it can protect it from wind and rain, it will be fine.

Xinqu was ready to welcome Zixun.

The third courtyard has been prepared for him. Although there are many signs of temporary work, it can be regarded as a breakthrough in Xin's architectural specifications.

It’s time to accumulate experience.
