According to Zhang Yan's understanding, he needs to fight with others to improve his control and break through the bottleneck.But it was said that it was a life-and-death fight. If one was not careful, the car would overturn and die. Naturally, Zhang Yan didn't want to bet his life on whether he would break through first or be hacked to death first.

After much deliberation, Jian Shuo pointed out a clear path for him in the end.

"Yan'er, according to Zhang Changshi's thinking, you shouldn't be allowed to take such a risk. But now that you propose it yourself, then uncle will treat it as a favor and help you."

"Now that the Yellow Turban is gone, the bandits are the first to attack the law. But there are still other evils in the Central Plains. A few days ago, the bandits led Guo Tai to set off a rebellion in Xihe. Taiyuan County has been captured, and even Hedong County is in danger."

"If the Han court can't suppress it quickly at this time, the yellow scarf thieves in Runan and even Qingxu Erzhou will be ready to move."

"A few days ago, the emperor ordered troops to go to Taiyuan to suppress the Yellow Turban, but that man He Jin disrespected his order, which made the emperor very annoyed, but because of He's face, he couldn't turn his face against him."

When talking about He Jin, the majestic general at the moment, Jian Shuo showed a look of contempt and resentment on his face, obviously dissatisfied with this foreign relative who once gained power.

"Yan'er, if you think about it, you have already seen that the emperor is extremely dissatisfied with He Jin now. The establishment of a new army in the West Garden is a plan to divide his military power."

"Our Xiyuan eighth school captain formed an independent army. The promotion and transfer of soldiers in the army are all decided by us alone, and we are not restricted by He Jin. If you don't want to come to this army, Yan'er, we will ask the emperor for you. With the position of general, you can lead thousands of troops and lead troops to suppress bandits. If you think about it, you will be able to break through the realm in a short time, and go one step further!"

After going around and talking a lot, Jian Shuo's purpose was finally exposed, apparently he still didn't give up the idea of ​​letting Zhang Yan lead the battle with him.

After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid that Zhang Yan would disagree, he added a sentence: "Yan'er, you don't have to worry, Zhang Changshi has us to support you!"

Afterwards, there was another stream describing how majestic and respected the military general is.It wasn't until Zhang Yan responded that Jian Shuo was happy, and assured him: "Our family is right! Yan'er, you go back and prepare first, and when your uncle asks the emperor for a military position for you, he will call you Come to the West Garden and assign a part for you!"

……

Shaking his head while riding on horseback, Zhang Yan didn't feel bad for his cheap uncle.Moreover, in his plan, he originally had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to seek a position as an official before the Great Han Dynasty fell apart.

Like most traversers, Zhang Yan's goal is not the kind of general who charges into battle.Combined with the spectacle system that he is responsible for, he knows that the most suitable for him should be local administrative officials with decisive powers such as prefects and county magistrates.

According to his plan, first through the spectacle system, he would gain more sense of presence in front of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong.Later, using his godfather Zhang Rang's power to buy and sell official positions, he asked Liu Hong to assign himself to a certain county as the prefect of the county.In this way, he can maximize his advantage of being able to build wonders.

He even thought about the reason: "As a minister, he should serve his king loyally; as a son, he should serve his father with benevolence and filial piety."

Listen, sharing worries for the country and solving problems for the father has an inner taste.

It doesn't matter how rich the subordinates are, as long as they give themselves enough autonomy, Zhang Yan believes that with the help of the wonder design system, it will not be difficult to turn the barren land under his command into a land of abundance.

What's more, if Zhang Rang is there to help, maybe Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, will directly assign himself to Lujiang County as the prefect, and the administrative office will be located in Wancheng.

In this way, it will not only facilitate the construction of wonders in the territory, but also shorten the relationship between himself and the Wanchengqiao family. That is the real double harvest of career and love.

No.16 Zhang Yan's thoughts

Of course, although he positioned himself as a consul in the future, Zhang Yan also knew that in this world, pure political rights need to be matched with corresponding military powers to have practical significance.

Even though the post of prefect is originally a feudal official with both military power and political power, if he came to Lujiang alone and started from scratch, I don't know how long it would take to pull up a decent army.

Not to mention that in the central area where the Jiangdong family scuffled, if he didn't have enough strength, it would be a big problem whether the decree could be passed on.

It was precisely because of the above that when Jian Shuo signaled to Zhang Yan that he was willing to help him apply for a piece of about a thousand people for him to drive, Zhang Yan was so surprised and a little excited at the same time.

This really means that the pillow was delivered before the sleepiness came.

Don't underestimate this song with about a thousand people.You must know that it is still in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the three of Liu Guanzhang only managed to get together 300 rural soldiers.As far as this is at most, ordinary people who have basic weapons or armor and have not received any training.

This is fundamentally different from a thousand fully armed and trained troops whose salaries are paid by the Han court.

If at that time, Zhang Yan has such a team as his team when he goes to Lujiang, he will feel more confident whether it is integrating the forces of Lujiang County or resisting the invasion of Wancheng by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

As for the danger of leading troops to suppress bandits, Zhang Yan didn't care so much now.After all, as long as you are more cautious, as long as you don't break away from the protection of the army easily, you won't let yourself lose your life casually.

Secretly making plans for the future, Zhang Yan was thinking about the major events that would happen in the Eastern Han Dynasty this year and next, and on the other hand, he followed the road to the construction site in the north of the city, intending to see how the people responsible for building the wonder were doing.

……

Not long after, Zhang Yan, who was galloping wildly, arrived at the construction site.

Because of the competition with Jian Shuo in the barracks in the morning, Zhang Yan wasted a little time.Looking around at this moment, he saw that hundreds of idle peasants had already arrived at the construction site, sometimes digging soil and sometimes moving bricks and stones under the command of several leading foremen.

Obviously, those who have practiced in Zhang Yan's hands for a period of time are not inexperienced rookies. At least they know that when building high-rise buildings, they must first have a solid foundation.

Without disturbing the work of these people, Zhang Yan said hello to a few acquaintances who passed by, and then went straight to the middle-aged man who took the lead yesterday.

The main reason why he came here today was to explain to the other party that he wanted to make the sundial more beautiful as a whole.

Just like Zhang Rang said last night, if the spectacle is just to satisfy his own interests and entertain himself, then it doesn't matter how much Zhang Yan struggles.

But if Zhang Yan intends to dedicate the sundial to the Eastern Han royal family after it is built, he must pay more or less attention to it.

After all, if it is done well, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty may be sent to Lujiang as a parent official when he is happy.Wouldn't it be nice to have both family and career in one step?

……

"The basic situation is like this. If there is any problem that needs to be solved, you can tell me in time. If I am not in Luoyang, go to my house and ask my personal maid, and she will help you arrange it."

After roughly communicating with the other party, Zhang Yan did not explicitly say that he intended to dedicate the sundial to Hanling Emperor Liu Hong, but only told the other party to pay attention to the quality of the building materials, and at the same time add some reliefs and patterns to the completed sundial.

When necessary, some gold and silver can even be inlaid on the main body of the sundial as decoration.

"If I directly say that the sundial will be dedicated to the royal family after it is built, I am afraid that this group of people will be nervous, and they will be prone to make mistakes, which will affect the system's evaluation of the building."

Considering that this group of people who usually live at the grassroots level have always had a strong fear of the existence of the royal family, Zhang Yan thought silently.

……

After once again emphasizing to everyone that "although the building is very simple this time, don't sue the sheep because it is simple, and talk about blame", Zhang Yan waved his hand to signal the other party to continue to lead the team to work, and at the same time he found a The mounds with a higher terrain did not dislike the dust on them, so they sat on the mounds and watched the excitement.

Hundreds of people were busy running around below like ants, and soon the day passed, while Zhang Yan asked someone to go to the side street next to him at noon to buy some noodles and meat, and distributed them to everyone for lunch.

Afterwards, it wasn't until the afternoon when the sun was westward that Zhang Yan patted the dust off his body and drove away from the construction site.

He knows that in this era, due to the serious shortage of productivity and production conditions, the grassroots actually do not live a life of three meals a day.

Just like the hundreds of people on the construction site just now, most of them eat well only at night when they are with their families. They usually combine the morning and noon into one meal, and only eat some dry food to satisfy their hunger.

Working as a coolie every day, how can I eat like this?

If it's not in front of him, that's fine. After all, Zhang Yan can't let the big man make a law requiring the people to eat three meals a day.

But now, since this group of people are working under him and doing things for him, Zhang Yan feels that he has to bear certain responsibilities more or less.

He was starved when he was a child, and to be honest, that feeling was not pleasant.If he could, he didn't want to live a life of starvation, and he didn't want others to starve under his nose.

It is precisely because of this that whenever he is free, he will stay on the construction site for a day under the pretext of being a supervisor, and at the same time he will spend money at noon to buy some food to reward everyone.After a long time, those people have become familiar with the "boss" who sits on the construction site every now and then and looks at them in a daze, and they are more used to the sumptuous lunch that the boss will bring to them every time he shows up.

……

"Hey, you are such a good man."

Looking at Zhang Yan who rode his horse away under the setting sun, Wei Xian held a note with a red seal in his hand, and murmured while looking at the people around him.

He was the middle-aged man who led the team.

"Anyway, everyone is still digging the soil and laying the foundation, and the main body of the building has not officially started, so why bother to make a special trip..."

As the "team backbone" who has been with Zhang Yan for a long time, Wei Xian naturally understands Zhang Yan's thoughts.If you just want to make the sundial more gorgeous and beautiful, why don't you send someone over to give instructions?

I thought it was just to find a reason for myself to come here, right?

Wei Xian clutched the note in his hand.This was given to Zhang Yan secretly when he was just about to leave, saying that if the later renovation costs were not enough, he could use this note to find his personal maid in his home in exchange for money.

In addition, he also carefully discovered that there was a line of small characters behind the note.

Wei Xian can't read much, so he can only understand roughly what he said is to ask the waitress named Ye'er to give him some extra money, and when the project is over, he will bring all the people who participated in the construction to celebrate and have a meal Dayton "celebration banquet".

celebration banquet...

Wei Xian suddenly felt a little sad, and his thoughts drifted farther and farther. He couldn't help but think of the time when he and others took the blueprint from Zhang Yan for the first time.

At that time, what Zhang Yan asked him to build was not such a huge stone building, but a majestic tower. Wei Xian remembered that it was called "Yuejiang Tower".

"There is not even a decent river around Luoyang, let alone a big river. Where did the name Yuejiang Tower come from?"

Wei Xian secretly slandered, but based on his goodwill towards this benefactor, he did not raise any objections, but followed Zhang Yan's request meticulously.

Days passed, but unfortunately, the progress of the construction of "Yuejiang Tower" was not very smooth, and it could even be said to be a bit procrastinated.

Wei Xian and the others have already done their best, but on the one hand, the Yuejiang Tower is not as simple and rough as this sundial, it only needs to dig a hole and pile up soil; on the other hand, Wei Xian's construction level at that time It was very limited at first, and he led hundreds of people to struggle for more than half a month, and only then did he follow the gourd painting and build the wonders in sevens and eighties.

Although the people in charge of the work didn't understand, Wei Xian always felt that the building was just right, or even out of shape when he looked at what he and others had built.

"Hey, how could this be..."

Wei Xian still remembered Zhang Yan's constant muttering when he accepted their work.

No.17 Young Master! Something is wrong!

[Miracle of Civilization: Yuejiang Tower (Failure)]

【Rank: Rare】

[Score: 17 points (failed)]

[Building function: ornamental]

[Building effect: The basic happiness of residents within a radius of ten miles is increased by 10% (not effective)]

[Evaluation: Facing the thousand-year-old auspicious spirit of Zifeng in the east, and looking at the majestic wind of Jinlong Wanli in the north]

……

There is no doubt that Wei Xian failed.

After screwing up such a big event and wasting so much money, Wei Xian was ready to bear Zhang Yan's anger, but found that the other party had completely hidden the disappointment on his face, and instead put on a happy expression. He seemed to celebrate with everyone.

As for the "Yuejiang Tower" plaque prepared in advance, it was also secretly replaced by "Wangjiang Tower" by the maid behind Zhang Yan.

You must know that apart from him, the people in the construction team couldn't read a single word, and how could they know the original name of the building, only Zhang Yan asked them to build the "Wangjiang Tower".

……

"Failure is the mother of success. No one can do everything at birth. You don't have to pay too much attention, as long as you learn something along the way."

Even now recalling what Zhang Yan said to him that day, Wei Xian was still extremely moved, and felt more self-blame and ashamed.

After that, Zhang Yan invited all the people and their families to hold a grand dinner on the built Wangjiang Building to celebrate their hard work of more than half a month finally bearing fruit.

At the same time, he also set a rule for everyone:

From now on, every time everyone completes a wonder building according to the requirements, Zhang Yan will invite everyone and their families to hold a grand "celebration banquet" after acceptance, as a reward for everyone.

So far, it has been six or seven times.

"Hehe, the celebration banquet..."
