Chapter 42

Zhao Wen looked at the box containing official uniforms, official seals and documents on the ground, with a face like a bitter melon.

"This makes me the garrison of Longmen Fort, isn't that nonsense? The entire Longmen Fort has been beaten to scorched earth by the Tartars, and the city walls have been ripped off. How can I be a commander? As a bare-handed commander?" Zhao Wen Belly said.

"My father-in-law, does the sage mean that I should be the guard of Longmen Castle?" Zhao Wen thought he had heard wrong, so he asked hesitantly.

The eunuch Xuanzhi patted Zhao Wen's shoulder with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you overjoyed? This guard's official position is not small. Although he is a rankless official, he is in Longmen Fort. , but it is an existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with thousands of households. Besides, didn’t His Majesty seal you as a fifth-rank martial arts general. You are now a dignified court official.”

The Xuanzhi eunuch fooled Zhao Wen with a wicked smile.

Zhao Wen looked at the fat face of the Xuanzhi eunuch, and thought, "From the fifth-rank military strategy general? This seems to be a loose title. What's the use of it? Besides, if you don't give me money for such a big Longmen Fort, If you don’t give me any troops, how can you let me be the guard?”

"By the way, didn't His Majesty reward me with silver or something like that? This Longmen Fort is in ruins now, and it will cost a lot of money to rebuild it. There is also the problem of personnel. I am now a poor man. , relying on me alone, how can you repair Longmen Fort?" Zhao Wen is really not reconciled, but it is a done deal, is there any other way for him, he can only hope that the Emperor Chongzhen will not be so stingy, and at least give himself some money and centaurs.

The Xuanzhi eunuch spread his hands and said helplessly: "You have to be considerate and considerate of the imperial court. The Tartars invaded the Xuanfu, looted the Xuanfu, the people were displaced, and the town was reduced to ruins. All these reconstructions need money. Now that the government is difficult, then There is still spare money. The reason why His Majesty let you guard this Longmen Castle is because of your ability. As long as you can successfully rebuild this Dragon Gate Fort, Your Majesty will reward you a lot. You can see for yourself. Just do it. Now that the war has just ended, there are refugees everywhere, so you can gather them up casually? All the officials below you can let you accept their fate."

Looking at the shameless posture of the eunuch Xuanzhi, Zhao Wen couldn't help but sneered in his heart and said: "Hehe, you just killed Wei Zhongxian, and you told me you have no money? Who are you lying to? Could it be that Wei Zhongxian, who is nine thousand years old, is a pauper? Do I recruit refugees? Where do I get food and money? Gather refugees and let them eat me?"

In fact, Zhao Wen really misunderstood Chongzhen. Wei Zhongxian did have a lot of money, but none of the money fell into Chongzhen's hands.

After Chongzhen eradicated Wei Zhongxian, he sent people to search Wei Zhongxian's home, but the reported silver was only a few thousand taels.Chongzhen certainly did not believe such childish lies.As the saying goes, three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver.A small magistrate has so much property, not to mention the [-]-year-old Wei Zhongxian who has controlled the court for so many years?

Wei Zhongxian has ruled the government for so many years and is a legendary corrupt official. If his family property is only a few thousand taels of silver, then he is even more honest than an upright official.

After that, Chongzhen sent people to investigate Wei Zhongxian's family property again.The result was that Wei Zhongxian did have a lot of silver, but he had already hidden all the property before raiding his house, and no one knew where it was hidden.

Chongzhen was so angry that his teeth itch.Because, it is said that Wei Zhongxian embezzled tens of millions of taels of money, and such a large amount of money disappeared inexplicably, who would believe it?

But the officials sent by Chongzhen all said that they could not find any money.Regarding this, Chongzhen was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do.

As for why these officials said they couldn't find the silver, there are many twists and turns in it.

The Xuanzhi eunuch looked at Zhao Wen with a bitter face, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Work hard, young man. Don't let Your Majesty down."

After the Xuanzhi eunuch finished speaking, he led his subordinates and ran away in a hurry, for fear that Zhao Wen would ask him for money.

Zhao Wen looked at the box containing official uniforms, official seals, and documents under his feet, and suddenly wanted to cry without tears, and screamed at the sky, "Damn, I have no one in such a big Longmen Fort, and I have no money. How should it be repaired?!"

Lu Daliang walked over with a smile, patted Zhao Wen on the shoulder, and said sarcastically: "Young man, to become such a high-ranking official at such an age, the future is boundless, the future is boundless."

Zhao Wen directly shook Lu Daliang's forehead hand from his shoulder, and said with a sneer, "Hehe, Mr. Lu should be your commander-in-chief. I will handle my affairs myself."

"Da Niu, Hu Zi, let's go." Zhao Wen kicked the box on the ground, without even looking at Lu Daliang, he headed towards the school grounds.

"My lord, where are you going?" Zhao Daniu hurriedly picked up the box on the ground and chased after Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen turned around and said, "Of course we are going to Longmen Fort. But now we have to go to the school yard first, our cart is still there."

Lu Daliang looked at Zhao Wen who was leaving, the smile on his face still did not dissipate.Now he is like eating a piece of ice in the dog days and holding a stove for three or nine days.

He hummed a ditty and headed towards the Zongbing Yamen.

"Are you back?" Li Xiaoying saw Zhao Wen walking over with Zhao Daniu and Song Hu, and hurriedly jumped off the cart.

Zhao Wendao: "Is my fellows still there?"

Li Xiaoying pointed to the 56-type light machine gun and the 40-type light machine gun on the cart, and said softly: "They are all still there, and none of them are missing. Those big soldiers dare not come here at all."

Zhao Wen looked at the weapons on the cart, nodded, and then said to Li Xiaoying: "We are going to Longmen Fort now, are you going?"

"Longmen Fort? Why do you want to go to Longmen Fort? Isn't this Xuan Mansion pretty good?" Li Xiaoying hugged the urn and looked at Zhao Wen anxiously, fearing that Zhao Wen would leave her here alone.

Zhao Wen laughed, and said arrogantly: "Hey, brother, I became the garrison of Longmen Fort, and I became a fifth-rank military general. Of course, going to Longmen Fort is to become an official."

Li Xiaoying smiled when she heard Zhao Wen's words, but then her expression darkened again.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Wen asked in a low voice, looking at Li Xiaoying who was looking sad.

"This Longmen Fort is a military settlement. I'm a girl, so it's not appropriate to go there, right?" Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen cautiously with a nervous expression on her face.

Zhao Wen laughed and said, "From now on, this Longmen Fort will be my Zhao Wen's base. In Longmen Fort, I am the biggest. Who dares to talk nonsense. As long as you follow your brother, you can't do anything else." Say, at the very least, it will give you enough food and clothing. In a word, will you follow me?"

Li Xiaoying jumped up from the ground when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Of course I went."

After all, she was a little girl in her [-]s and [-]s, and she was rescued by Zhao Wen after a sudden accident at her family, so the only person she can trust now is Zhao Wen.

She had been worried before, afraid that after Zhao Wen got the reward, he would leave herself here alone.Now it seems that she was completely overwhelmed.

"Daniu, go find some war horses, let's go back to Fengsui first." Zhao Wen shouted at Zhao Daniu with his hands on his hips, as if he was an official.

Zhao Daniu laughed when he heard Zhao Wen's words, then knelt down on one knee, performed a military salute, and said, "The final general will obey your lord's orders!"

"Haha, let's go!"

……

As the sun set, the red sun pulled the shadows of Zhao Wen and others to the ground.

Zhao Wen sat on the shaft of the cart, holding the reins of the horse with both hands.

Zhao Daniu and Song Hu rode horses and walked in front of Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaoying who was sitting in the cart with her legs crossed, and said with a smile, "Girl, Longmen Castle is not easy to treat."

Li Xiaoying was taken aback. When she heard this, she thought that Zhao Wen was going to abandon him, and then looked at Zhao Wen nervously, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"This Longmen Fort is a military settlement, and there are rough men in it. I'm afraid you won't be used to it. Besides, guess how many people there are in the entire Longmen Fort?"

"How many are there?"

Zhao Wen smiled mysteriously and said, "Including you, there are only seven people in total."

"Huh? Why are there so few?"

"Hey, this is normal. Longmen Fort is the place where the Tartars broke through. The entire Longmen Fort has been slaughtered, and the city walls have been stripped. Now I am a naked garrison." Zhao Wen laughed, quite proudly. .

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen worriedly, and said, "Then what should I do?"

"What else can I do? Cold salad, don't forget, I am a god. Is there anything in this world that can defeat a god? There are so many Tartars, I will kill them if I say so, let alone a small dragon gate!" Fort."

"By the way, let me sing you a song."

Zhao Wen didn't wait for everyone to react, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and roared loudly: "The smoke rises, the country looks north, the dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost..."

The classic "Serving the Country with Loyalty" echoed on the plain.

Chapter 43 What is the formula of cement?

Zhao Wen led the crowd to stand on the ruins of Longmen Fort. Looking at the messy ruins, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Cheating father, this mother's cheating father, this is cheating father!!!"

Zhao Wen covered his head and roared into the sky.

Li Xiaosan looked at the ruins all over the ground, and said coldly: "The court is bullying people, and this court is too bullying. There is nothing in Longmen Fort, so let Big Brother Zhao be on guard. Isn't that clearly bullying people?"

"Brother Zhao, let's quit. Let's go directly back to Fengsui. We shouldn't be guarding this shit." Li Xiaosan directly pulled up the corner of Zhao Wen's clothes, and was about to walk back.

Song Hu slapped the back of Li Xiaosan's hand, and scolded: "Nonsense, how can this defense be said to be inappropriate? This is an order from the imperial court. Thunder, rain and dew are all benevolence from the king. How can it be such a joke?"

"Little San, what Hu Zi said is right." Zhao Wen stood up straight, touched Xiao Sanfang's head, and said earnestly: "The emperor appointed me as the guard of Longmen Castle. It’s dilapidated, but soon, I will give you a different Longmen Fort.”

Looking at the ruins, Zhao Wen suddenly said to Liu Wu: "Have those large carts been pulled over? Come with me to the Zhangjiakou market place tomorrow. The market place has been parked for such a long time, so I reckon it should be open. Now, let's change some silver."

"Here it is, just leave it outside."

……

As night gradually fell, Zhao Wen and the others found a mansion that hadn't collapsed in the ruins of Longmen Fort, cleaned it up casually, and stayed inside.

This mansion that has not yet collapsed is the garrison mansion in Longmen Fort, which is where Zhao Wen will live in the future.

Zhao Wen and others lit a fire in the hall of the Garrison Mansion and sat around the fire.

There is a large iron pot on the fire, and rice is steaming in it.

Beside the fire, some unfinished pieces of horse meat were roasting.

The aroma of rice filled the hall.

When the lid of the pot was opened, a burst of white water vapor permeated the air.Zhao Wen and the others hurriedly scooped some into the bowl, then picked up the jerky beside the fire, took a bite of rice, took a bite of the jerky, and ate it with relish.

Li Xiaoying sat beside the fire in a daze, unwilling to make a move for a long time.

Zhao Wen noticed Li Xiaoying, so his mouth was full of rice, and asked vaguely: "Why don't you eat? You haven't eaten for a whole day. As the saying goes, people are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Hurry up and eat."

Li Xiaoying looked at Zhao Wen, and said with some embarrassment: "You guys eat first, I'm not very hungry."

"Not hungry? How is it possible?" Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaoying and understood immediately.

That's right, she is a lady from a scholarly family, when did she have dinner with these rough soldiers?In addition, Zhao Daniu and his gang kept sucking and sucking for a long time when they were eating. After hearing this, they lost their appetite.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wen put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, swallowed the rice in his mouth, then he clapped his hands, took out a clean bowl from the side, and shouted at Zhao Daniu who was constantly picking on the iron pan: " Get out of the way, what do you look like one by one? Starving ghosts reincarnated?"

Zhao Daniu was so frightened that he hurriedly retracted his hands and neck, and looked at Zhao Wen with his eyes rolling.

Zhao Wen scooped out a large bowl of rice from the iron pot, then picked up a piece of dried meat from the fire, blew the dust on it, and said to Li Xiaoying: "Follow me, these rough soldiers, I can see I can't eat it either."

Zhao Wen picked up his bowl and chopsticks from the ground and walked outside.

Li Xiaoying hurriedly followed.

Zhao Wen sat on the stone steps outside the hall and said to Li Xiaoying, "Come here, come here, sit here."

Zhao Wen pointed to the stone steps next to him with a smile on his face.

Li Xiaoying was a little embarrassed, after all, the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was no joke.She was instilled by her father since she was a child, saying that men and women should not get along with each other, and she looked at Zhao Wen for a while, feeling a little overwhelmed.

But then I thought about it, when I saved myself, I did nothing to myself.So she laughed at herself and sat next to Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen watched her sit down, and put the bowl and chopsticks in Li Xiaoying's hands directly.

Li Xiaoying held the bowl and chopsticks, smiled sweetly at Zhao Wen, and buried herself in eating.

……

When the sparrows were chattering on the branches, Zhao Wen rubbed his sleepy eyes.He looked at Li Xiaoying who was leaning on his shoulder, and called softly, "Girl, it's dawn."

Li Xiaoying's eyelashes trembled, and then she opened her eyes.

"Dawn?" Li Xiaoying looked at herself leaning on Zhao Wen's shoulder, stood up hurriedly, turned her back, her face flushed.

"Yes, it's dawn." Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaoying, who was reacting fiercely, and scratched his head in doubt.

As a person from later generations, Zhao Wen has never felt ashamed of a woman sleeping on a man's shoulder.

Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaoying, didn't think about it, then turned his head and shouted to the people in the hall who had woken up for a long time: "Hey, let's set off while it's still early."

Half an hour later, the four carts drove slowly towards Zhangjiakou under the driving of the crowd.

Zhao Wen sat on the front cart, and Li Xiaoying leaned tightly beside him.

Zhao Wen was thinking about the problem while driving the carriage.

If such a large Longmen Castle is rebuilt using the methods of this era, it will probably take a lot of time.I have to think of a way to save time.

In this era, building a city wall is nothing more than ramming an earth wall with rammed earth, and then wrapping the rammed earth with green bricks.

Many strong cities were built using this method.It's just that things like glutinous rice juice, egg whites, and brown sugar water were added to the rammed earth of those strong cities.As long as these things are added, the entire city wall will become extremely strong.

But these things are not ordinary things. The glutinous rice juice alone is worth a lot, let alone the other two?

Zhao Wen sat quietly on the shaft of the car. He suddenly thought of the cement of later generations, so he slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Yes, I can use cement to build a city."

Li Xiaoying next to her was taken aback. She looked at Zhao Wen nervously, and asked softly, "What is cement?"

"Nothing!" Zhao Wen responded immediately, and then thought: "I am really a genius, this cement city is not only fast, but also strong, although it is not as good as those special rammed earth, but it is cheaper. "

A smile appeared on Zhao Wen's face, but the smile was fleeting. With a bitter face, he lamented in his heart: "I forgot the formula of the cement."
