Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

“I used a brigade of strange swordsmen to block the gate of the manor, and two brigades of armored soldiers used bows and arrows to harass afterwards, I don’t believe you can get in!”

“Bah, old fogey! Why did I have to go through the gate? Where can’t this manor wall break through? Any cavalry can break into the manor with a single charge, you can only retreat to the castle defense.”

“I just retreat to the castle. I’m afraid I won’t be able to defend it for two weeks? What if you are several times as powerful as I am? Don’t forget, you are all cavalry. What do you use to attack the castle?”

” ……”

In Taiji Palace’s two rites hall, there was already noisy at this time.

Those founding dukes were divided into two factions, and they played a war game on the sandbox of Li Wangyou’s manor mansion, and Li Er served as the referee of both sides to judge the outcome.

War chess deduction, its history in China can be traced back to 4,500 years ago. The Xia Dynasty began to use stones and wooden sticks to demonstrate Formation and study wars on the ground.

The most indispensable thing for the powerful brothers in China’s history is their deduction ability before and after the battlefield.

The most famous war chess deduction in history is the story of Mozi trying to prevent Chu State from attacking Song State during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.

The public transport squad built a ladder for Chu State, and wanted to attack Song Kingdom with this. Mozi and the public loser squad, in front of the Prince of Chu, on the main hall, using the pockets as the city wall and wood chips as defensive equipment to conduct wargames.

The public losing class used a variety of clever tactics of siege, and they were all resolved by Mozi one after another. Until the public transport team ran out of siege methods, Mozi’s defense equipment was more than enough.

Prince of Chu finally gave up attacking Song Kingdom because of this game.

From the time of Great Tang, the wargame rules in the army are more complete, with detailed rules and methods.

This group of military leaders turned out to be doing wargames and could only do it against a less detailed map, which was very uncomfortable.

When I saw Li Wangyous Sandbox today, this kind of war game that seemed to have opened a “God’s perspective” made a lot of bigwigs hooked.

A group of military leaders who had a good time even greeted the waiters to fetch drinks and continue to “fight” while drinking.

Even Li Er is the same, drunk constantly in the glass of wine, laughing heartily.

Li Wangyou is completely speechless. If he couldn’t really beat these bastards, he and the old fogeys who ruined the sandbox of his manor manor’s building would have their hearts.

It’s too much!

This is not a military Sandbox!

A group of old fogey, old killers! One by one, trying hard to figure out how to destroy his small castle that has not yet started construction, this feels really weird!

However, he is a small Feudal county man. In front of Li Er and the old gangsters who are all national dukes, he really has no right to speak. He can only grit his teeth and bear it!

It was so hard to bear that these military leaders had become addicted. They even drank several jars of drinks. The military flag deduction was finally over.

Cheng Yaojin satisfactorily slaps Li Wangyou’s shoulders with the big slap.

“Virtuous nephew, yes, this Sandbox is a good thing! You bastard youngster, finally made something interesting. It’s a waste of time to keep getting waterwheels and carriages!”

Cheng Yaojin’s words made Li Er want to hit someone.

The importance of the waterwheel and the four-wheeled carriage to Great Tang made him willing to knight Li Wangyou, but this old fogey said it was a waste of time!

Li Erye disinclined to pay attention to Cheng Yaojin, this asshole, stretched out his hand to recruit Li Wangyou to his side.

“Ziyou, tomorrow you will teach the manufacturing method of this Sandbox to the Ministry of Works. Look at what you have done is so rough, it is really unusable.” Li Er also dislikes that the Sandbox made by Li Wangyou is not exquisite .

Li Wangyou only feels his teeth itchy, I really want to bite!

To endure Li Er’s ridicule, Li Wangyou rubbed his hands and looked towards Li Er with a smile: “Your Majesty, look at my mansion, can it be built like this?”

He made this Sandbox, the main purpose is to get Li Er nodded’s approval, now they have finished the “war”, so he has to ask quickly.

Li Er turned his attention to the Sandbox again, and after a long time he said: “Ziyou, your castle is expensive, I am afraid I can’t agree with you to build it like this.”

Listen to him With this, Li Wangyou is anxious, how can it cost a lot of money?

“Your Majesty, I’m afraid you are mistaken? I have calculated with the Ministry of Works officer, the copper required is not very much, not at all more than the construction cost of the male mansion in Feudal County.”

This is really not Li Wangyou’s nonsense. Although his manor occupies a large area, it does not cost much to construct because it does not have the complicated structure of traditional buildings with painted beams and carved buildings.

Traditional Chinese wooden buildings, the labor cost for construction is quite huge.

Just those mortise and tenon joints that do not require iron nails, but only use the tenon and tenon joint structure to fix them, I dont know how much skilled craftsmen will need to build.

In later generations, the cost of repairing ancient buildings is much more than that of Cement buildings, mainly because of labor costs.

And Li Wangyou consciously thinks that his manor house does not need that many skilled craftsmen to carve those complicated patterns and so on. Why does Li Er still say that the cost is huge?

Li Er pointed to the small castle on the Sandbox, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: “Ziyou, how many stones do you need for your castle? How many servants do you need to levy to transport stones for your castle? I cant agree with you being so nonsense! Now that Great Tang is waiting for prosperity and the plague of locusts has not been extinguished, how can I freely consign that many conscripts and build a mansion for you?”

Li Er this remark, down Li Wangyou couldn’t help laughing.

It turned out that Li Er had misunderstood. He quickly explained: “Your Majesty, you got it wrong. My little castle does not need to be built with stones, but bricks can be used. There is no need to levy and transport stones. Yes.”

In traditional European castles, many of them are piled up with big rocks.

But Li Wangyou is not ready to fight again, he just wants to build a castle-style house to “pretend” that’s all.

So the plan for Li Wangyou is to prepare bricks and then use Cement to build a house with the appearance of a castle.

Build with bricks? Li Er shook his head slightly.

“Naughty, how can bricks be used to build houses?”

Cheng Yaojin When they heard Li Er talking with Li Wangyou, they all came together.

“Ziyou, how do you build a house with bricks? What’s more, your castle is still several stories high.”

“This is the case, the old man has never heard of building bricks The house, Ziyou, dont mess around.”

“haha, Ziyou has Heaven Warping Genius, but there are times when such jokes are made. Use bricks to repair the house, and the old man is unheard- of.”

“Use bricks to repair city walls and towers. Old man knows how to build your castle?”

In Great Tang, because there is no Cement, bricks All use viscous loess mortar as the adhesive. The city wall of Great Tang is built with loess and covered with bricks.

Although it is strong, it is not suitable for building houses.

If you use glutinous rice to boil the pulp and add it to lime to build bricks, it will be solid and durable, not inferior to later Cement. But this is expensive, and only a small number of Imperial Family buildings can be used in this way.

In the history of China, it was not until the Ming Dynasty ancestor Zhu Di was building the Forbidden City that he began to use bricks to build houses on a large scale.

So what Li Wangyou said, to Li Er, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Jing, they all regarded him as nonsense.

Li Wangyou couldn’t help but smile.

“Your Majesty, Master, do you want to make a bet with your nephew?”
