my wife is mulan

"Return to Your Majesty, this batch of luggage is on its way to Wuchuan!"

Tuobajian shook the memorial in his hand and said: "This General Pingbei is here again. He had a sudden idea and asked the imperial court to allow merchants to do business with various ministries of Rouran in Wuchuan Town, saying that this would ease the tension of Rouran people. living materials

The pressure on them reduces the possibility of them going south to plunder. The imperial court can obtain a large amount of fur and livestock from the Rouran people through commerce and trade, which will increase the income of the imperial court. People's movements! "

Yu Ji said: "In the past, it's true that our dynasty did not send detailed works to various ministries in Rouran, but there was no news. I thought that the method must be wrong. These detailed works have no identity as a cover, and it is easy for Rouran people to see the flaws! As General Zhao said, the minister thinks it is feasible, and mixing fine work with the caravan is the best cover!"

For an emperor like Tuobajian, opening up Wuchuan Town to trade with Rouran people can get a lot of tax revenue. In his eyes, he doesn't care at all. What he cares about is the collection of Rouran military intelligence. Zhao Junsheng said in the memorial Don't mention that this is the reason why he attaches great importance to this memorial!

Tuoba Jian sighed: "Yes, in the past, every time Rouran went south to plunder, we could get very little information, and they would succeed every time. If we could keep track of their movements at any time, this situation should Can be changed!"

After finishing speaking, Tuoba Jian took up a pen and wrote his consent on the memorial, and handed it over to the Secretary to draft an edict to issue a government order.

At this time, Hua Mulan was riding a horse on a high tomb to check the farming conditions of the peasants and slaves.

The large-scale labor scene of more than 1 people is really spectacular. Hua Mulan has never seen such a huge scene. They are held by people to prevent them from being lazy. This kind of farming speed is far beyond Hua Mulan's expectations.

Zhao Junsheng calculated that an iron plow should be able to plow about six acres a day, but if the animals pulling the plow are changed frequently, it can plow seven acres a day.

Zhao Junsheng came over on horseback and said in surprise, "Hey, this farming speed seems to be much faster than I expected!"

Hua Mulan turned her head to look, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you following me?"

"Men and women match, work is not tiring!"

"Tch, you're so talkative!"

Chapter 420 You are a bad person!

Zhao Junsheng said to Hua Mulan: "By the way, I'm here to tell you that Cao Jiao has weaved more than 1 baskets, and the wood has been cut down like a mountain. Now you can start to make models for the city wall! Or else Leave the land reclamation to you, and I will organize people to dig the moat and build the city wall?"

Hua Mulan quickly said: "I don't want it, I want to watch you build the city!"

"What's so interesting about building a city? It's nothing more than digging a moat, pouring the excavated soil into the pre-made mold frame, and the city wall is built like this!" Zhao Junsheng's curiosity about Hua Mulan was really dumbfounding.

"No, I'm going to take a look! Isn't Gao Xu watching here? With him here, I can't do much here!"

Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to send someone to tell Gao Xu what to say, and let him take full responsibility, supervise the peasants and slaves not to be lazy, and try to complete the work within the stipulated time.

The two rode to the location of the east city wall that was planned to be built. Cao Jiao, more than 2000 civilian husbands and more than 5000 Rouran captives had already arrived here.

Cao Jiao was arranging loudly: "Three porters are in charge of two diggers, two people stand next to each potter's wheel on the top of the formwork frame, one turns the pulley to lift up the basket of soil, and the other pours the soil into the formwork frame! "

The potter's wheel was originally a labor-saving device used to lift water at the wellhead, but now it is built by the carpenters of the craftsman camp to lift and transport soil, which can also save a lot of manpower.

Zhao Junsheng stepped on a wooden ladder to the top of the frame and shouted: "Come, come, the porters are all standing at their positions with shoulder poles and hooks, and the diggers are also standing at their positions with hoes and shovels. The people on the formwork are also getting ready, and the people who make the formwork continue to drive piles, are you all ready?"

Everyone returned to the camp loudly: "Okay!"

"start!"

Following Zhao Junsheng's sound of subzero, the diggers waved their hoes and dug down to bring the soil into the baskets, and some people shoveled the soil with shovels, and the two baskets were filled quickly.

A porter immediately picked it up, turned around, and walked quickly towards the mold frame. It was only about ten meters away, and he arrived soon. He hooked the rope of a basket on the hanging iron hook.

The man above shook the pulley shaft to lift up the basket of soil, and another person took it and poured the soil into the frame.

In the absence of modern tools, a large amount of manpower must be used to complete such a large project, and it is precisely because of the large number of people and the strength that it can be completed quickly.

Hua Mulan laughed and said, "I didn't expect that building a city would be quite interesting. This scene is really lively!"

Zhao Junsheng observed for a while, and found that the lifting speed of the potter's wheel could not keep up, and porters often waited for a long time with baskets.

Zhao Junsheng beckoned to Cao Jiao, and said: "There will be a lot of waste of manpower in this way, and we must find a way to solve it. Let's send someone to carry some wood to make a springboard and put it on the formwork frame, so that the porters can carry it." The bamboo basket stepped on the pedal to pour the soil in!"

"It should have been done a long time ago!" Hua Mulan said next to her.

Cao Jiao agreed: "Yes, I will arrange it immediately!"

Soon, many people came over with long planks on their shoulders. Each of these planks was made of three long timbers placed side by side and then nailed up with planks to fix them. It was a test for porters to carry baskets on them. The work of porters.

Although this is not a single-plank bridge, it is not much better than walking on a single-plank bridge.

After setting up a large number of springboards, the speed of soil transportation has been greatly accelerated, and the efficiency of all aspects has also increased a lot.

The whole scene was full of enthusiasm, which was quite spectacular.

In just one morning, a 200-meter section of the city wall was piled up, and the soil had already been piled up to the top of the frame.

In the afternoon, the peasants and the captives moved forward and continued to dig and carry the soil. Some people stayed where they were and used logs to tamp the soil. The loose soil sank a lot after being hit and rolled. Filling, but this is the second step.

Hua Mulan also learned some management methods from Zhao Junsheng on the construction site of the city wall.

"It's nothing clever. The steps and links of the construction have been determined. Everyone is following these steps and links. If there is a problem with a certain link or step, the responsible official on the site must find a way to solve it. Except There is nothing else!"

"Of course, we must ensure that no one escapes or is lazy, and we must also pay attention not to let those captives gather together to make trouble. Once we find this situation, we must resolutely suppress it!"

Hua Mulan nodded after listening to Zhao Junsheng's words, she frowned again and said, "Those civilian husbands work hard, but you can see that the captives are dying. According to their state, I worry that the construction period may be extended a lot. !"

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "This is also easy to solve. How did you stimulate the morale and enthusiasm of the soldiers when you were training?"

Hua Mulan's eyes lit up, and she immediately knew what to do.

Before starting work the next morning, Hua Mulan announced in front of everyone: "Starting from today, no matter if you are a civilian or a prisoner, as long as you work hard, work hard, and get the approval of the supervisor, each team will have three people who can get a bonus once a day." The opportunity to eat, double the amount of meals, and a piece of meat!"

The peasants and prisoners all murmured in low voices when they heard this. It is almost the same as the military establishment. A team is equivalent to one Shi, and there are ten people in a Shi, and three of them can get an extra meal, as long as they work hard , the probability of getting this extra meal opportunity is very high.

For a while, both slaves and civilian husbands had the idea of ​​competing with others in their hearts.

I saw Hua Mulan said again: "As for the peasants, as long as they work hard, we will distribute land to the peasants who perform well from next year. The better the performance, the more land they will get. We only need to pay [-]% to the town guard every year. Just harvest, and the supervisor will record your performance every day!"

"For the captives, your performance will be the key to whether you can get rid of the status of captives. By this time next year, a group of you will become free civilians. Like these Han people, you can choose to share the land or give it to the guards. The house herds horses and sheep to get wages and food, I hope you will consider your own future and don't give up on yourself!"

Hua Mulan is the deputy general of Wuchuan Town, and this place is still her fiefdom. What she said represents the decision of the town guard of Wuchuan Town. There is no one here who does not know her. Both civilian husbands and captives are very excited after hearing these decrees. Excited.

"Okay, let's get to work now!"

Following Hua Mulan's order, the civilian husbands and captives began to work one after another. Now their performance is not the same as before. Their spirits have completely changed. All of them are full of energy and want to win a good impression in front of the supervisors. .

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan looked at each other and smiled when they saw this scene.

"By the way, I remember that the peasants and captives who led the team to reclaim the wasteland did not do very well. Can we also apply this method to them?" Hua Mulan asked.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Are you the housekeeper, you ask me?"

"Pfft!" Hua Mulan smiled, squeezed her fist and gave Zhao Junsheng a light thump, "Let's go, go to Gao Xu's side!"

The two rode to Gao Xu's side again to watch the peasants and captives reclaim the wasteland.
