The second year of Jian’an (197).
Spring.
Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, took hundreds of civil and military officials and personally cultivated the fields.
Complete the “Farming Ceremony”.
With this etiquette, farmers are advised to work hard!
Xun Yu took 100,000 people to settle the fields in the suburbs.
Mighty.
Vigorous.
Qing Yu recruited 500 tenants to cultivate his 3,000 acres of land.
The rice seeds he used this time were completely produced in the Immortal Domain.
Can produce about ten stone per acre!
As long as this time the cultivation is retained, then the next time can be extended to the entire territory of Yingchuan.
Qing Yu has great expectations for this!
Whether the grain can be doubled depends on this time!
When the spring plowing was over, Qingyu wrote to the imperial court to conscript labor and build the city.
The cities of the Han Dynasty were basically small earth cities.
Rammed earth into a city.
Castles that can be built with stone can basically be remembered in history.
The “Stone City” built by Sun Quan is known as the first fortress of Eastern Wu.
Qing Yu could not quarry a large amount of stone, so the manpower and material resources consumed would be doubled.
He chose “Brick City”.
After becoming the guardian of Yingchuan County, Qingyu recruited a craftsman army of 2,000 men.
In more than a year, they have already fired city bricks that satisfy Qingyu.
The first step is to select soil.
Sticky but not loose, powder but not sand.
The second step is to practice mud.
Drive cattle to trample repeatedly, or let people trample with their feet in the mud.
Make it thick and even.
The third step is embryo making.
A standard wooden frame is used as a frame.
Convenient assembly line production.
The general wooden frame needs to hold sixty pounds of mud.
The fourth step is to mold the brick text.
In the fifth step, when the brick embryo is dry, it can be put into the brick kiln and calcined.
How about the quality of the city bricks, it depends on this step!
Qing Yu took 2,000 craftsmen as masters and allocated another 20,000 to them as laborers.
Responsible for the construction of brick kilns, as well as firing.
Brick kiln includes operation room, kiln door, fire chamber, kiln room, kiln bed, flue, etc.
Every step needs to be in place.
The whole process is a matter of flowing water.
10,000 people are responsible for extracting soil.
10,000 people are responsible for providing firewood.
10,000 people are responsible for transportation.
Wait a minute.
In total, about 100,000 people were used for labor.
Most importantly, they do their part in a good way.
Everything appears orderly and orderly.
In just three days, they fired 100,000 city bricks.
A lot of dirt was piled up during the construction of water conservancy.
So it’s not particularly strenuous.
Qing Yu incidentally included Xuchang’s moat in the planning.
When the crops grew smoothly, Xun Yu allocated another 100,000 laborers to Qing Yu.
The labor force for the construction of the city wall reached 200,000 people!
Food consumption multiplies.
Qingyu could not let the servants go hungry, he could only collect grain in Yingchuan.
The people saw the hope of a bumper harvest in the tuntian and were willing to donate their grain.
After all, there are people in their families who are serving.
The government did not let the laborers prepare their own food, clothing, equipment, etc., which was already giving face to the people!
In troubled times, the tribulations they need to go through are much more than that.
When the construction of the city is completed, the scale of Xuchang will increase by about five times.
Catch up with Chang’an, Luoyang and other big cities.
Able to accommodate half a million people!
Of course.
If the people are willing to squeeze, they can live more.
Qing Yu planned Xu Chang, inside and out.
If there is enough labor, he will definitely directly build a city of a million people.
It’s just a pity, it’s completely unnecessary.
Xuchang cannot be the capital forever.
Being able to accommodate half a million people, it is already an absolute big city.
What’s more, this is an epoch-making brick city.
In order to save city bricks, part of the city wall continued to rammed earth and then wrapped in city bricks.
The reason why ancient warriors repaired the city at every turn was because the city was prone to disrepair.
After experiencing the wind and sun, Tucheng certainly couldn’t hold on.
After the city bricks are calcined, they can last longer.
Qingyu was busy with the construction of the city wall during the day and returned home at night to rest.
The same goes for servitude.
They had to work four hours a day, and only by firing the city bricks did they need to guard at all times.
One day, the sky was shining.
Qing Yu was fishing in the water, when suddenly the sound of horses’ hooves sounded.
“Sir!”
“Good news!”
“Father expelled Yang Feng, completely restored Henan Yin.”
“Yang Feng’s defection to Yuan Shu.”
Cao Ang shared this important news with Qingyu.
“Cao Gong Wuyun Changlong.”
“It’s good when to take Liu Bei down.”
Qing Yu looked at Cao Ang and couldn’t help but sigh with some emotion.
“Sir has a feud with Liu Bei?” Cao Ang was stunned.
“Good.”
“Liu Bei burns my grain, this feud does not share the sky.”
As soon as Qing Yu’s words fell, Cao Ang was immediately filled with righteous indignation.
“How can there be such a madman?”
Grain.
Big is about the national economy!
Small is about all peoples!
After following Qingyu for a while, Cao Ang also had an absolute awe for food.
Wasting food is absolutely shameful.
Soon after, Cao Cao returned to Xuchang.
He rode through the fields, cheerfully than ever.
“When this year’s tuntian harvests are made, our army will no longer take risks because of lack of food.”
Cao Cao looked at the green crops, which became a vast field, and his anxious heart calmed down.
The anger left over from the killing on the battlefield can be washed away.
This is the sense of security brought by food, and it is also the unique charm of food.
Cao Cao sighed more and more!
He absolutely did not allow anyone to spoil all this.
Therefore, after arriving in Xuchang, he tried his best to get out of the crowd.
Decided to crusade against Wancheng Zhang Xiu.
Nanyang is too close to Yingchuan.
Wancheng is also too close to Xuchang.
Only a few hundred miles!
If Zhang Xiu marched into Yingchuan, what would happen to these tens of thousands of hectares of tuntian?
Cao Cao strategized.
Absolutely will not let bad things happen in Yingchuan.
“Jing Jun, don’t worry.”
“what you promised, I will definitely do it!”
At this moment, Cao Cao is heroic.
Qing Yu chuckled inexplicably in his heart.
Boss Cao won’t float, right?
