Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian said:

"Let me ask you a question first. Are you going to wait for me to open a new school and get scholars before working for me, or are you going to take charge of a place for me now?"

Huang Nilu was stunned.

He is just a commoner. He took the exam several times and failed to even pass the exam!

Can I also be an official?

He thought about it and his Majesty said that he would settle in Nanyang.

Now they are still in Ye County, and His Majesty summoned them.

Could it be...

Your Majesty allows them to serve as officials in Ye County?

Huang Nilu was overjoyed. He had already lost his temperament after several scientific examinations, so he naturally understood that even if he could pass the examination and become an official, he didn't know when he would wait!

Your Majesty remembers him now because he is grateful that he risked his life by sliding down the rope from the hot air balloon and rescuing Wang Zhang!

After His Majesty settles down and becomes busy with affairs, how can he still remember him?

Even if Wang Zhang mentioned it, he would only reward himself with some gold and silver.

Huang Nilu's thoughts changed for just a moment.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he said happily: "Thanks to your majesty for your extraordinary use, ordinary people should die for your majesty!"

Seeing Huang Nilu agree, Shen Zhanran's lips twitched a few times.

As a student, he naturally understood that officials who came out of the imperial examination would naturally be able to go higher!

However, although he passed the exam to become a scholar, he never passed the critical test of being a scholar!

Otherwise, he would not have entered Taixue.

Although it is said that His Majesty will definitely open a Konko soon to deal with the unfavorable political situation.

But - in these first few issues, Enke will definitely be as strong as the clouds!

He...has no chance of winning.

Seeing that his friends all agreed, Shen Zhanran also spoke immediately:

"Students obey His Majesty's arrangements!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Youjian nodded: "Although this Ye County is a mountainous area, it has a lot of coal, iron and other resources. Moreover, it guards the east gate of Nanyang, so it needs reliable people.

You two came all the way with me, and you are Xin Lehou's close friends.

I will leave Ye County in your hands, I can trust you.

Don't let me down, you two. "

The two were overjoyed and hurriedly said in unison: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if we die, we will defend Ye County for Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian nodded:

"Ye County is mountainous, has many rivers, and the surrounding land is fertile. It is a good place for careful management."

"Shen Zhanran, you temporarily act as the magistrate of Ye County, and Huang Nilu, you temporarily act as the magistrate of Ye County."

Wang Chengen handed the big seals to the two men respectively.

"I thank you Lord for your kindness!"

Shen Zhanran and Huang Nilu were overjoyed and bent down to bow.

Zhu Youjian said:

"Now that the place is in ruins, you two are used to seeing the suffering of the people with me, but you must not let down the elders here."

The two agreed repeatedly.

Zhu Youjian said a few more words about providing work for relief before letting the two of them go.

Although Ye County is a mountainous area and a small place, it is an important part of Zhu Youjian's plan!

After all - Pingdingshan is a place with too many resources!

A coal mine alone, given the technological conditions of this time and space, would be enough for Zhu Youjian to use it for several lifetimes.

The key point is - not only does Pingdingshan have anthracite, it also has open-pit mining areas!

This thing is a good thing!

And Ye County, which is located at the intersection of roads, is naturally the top priority.

After settling the candidates for local officials in Ye County, Zhu Youjian summoned Yao Cheng, the deputy commander of Shuntian Prefecture.

Yao Cheng is a man in his forties. He is not tall, but he is quite stocky, especially in his shoulders. The muscles hold up his collar. At first glance, he looks like a powerful man.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Yao Cheng bowed and saluted.

Zhu Youjian called Yao Cheng closer, pointed to the map unfolded on the table and said:

"Yao Qing, this pass is a top priority, can you guard it for me?"

Yao Cheng beat his chest with his fist: "If I can't finish it, I will come to see you with my head raised!"

Zhu Youjian reached out and Wang Chengen handed over a pamphlet.

He handed it to Yao Cheng and said:

"These are two small defensive means that I set up in my spare time, which are used to deal with mountainous areas like the pass.

I remember that Qing’s family came from a military family. Can you help me see if it’s possible? "

Yao Cheng opened it and looked at it carefully.

But I saw that this was a small fort built using the terrain.

Zhu Youjian explained on the side: "The geology of the peaks in the pass is different. Some are mainly gravel, some are pure earth mountains, there are also some sand and gravel mountains, and some mixed hills."

“To deal with an area like this, one method will naturally not work.

The pass is too wide to establish a city defense, so I designed such a gadget. "

What he handed over to Yao Cheng was a bunker and a fortress for future generations.

According to the terrain, Zhu Youjian used a bunker with the main body hidden underground and only the half-human-high shooting hole and roof exposed on the surface.

That's it

Or rely on the mountains, dig out the cavity and seal one side, leaving only the entrance, exit and shooting port of the fortress.

There are also fortresses built directly on the surface.

As for the entrance and exit, because he does not need heavy artillery to enter, it is directly designed as a tunnel.

In other words, if you want to enter the fortress, you must open the cover on the ground from in front of the shooting port to get in.

Each of these forts can accommodate anywhere from five to 20 people.

……

Yao Cheng has finished reading.

He praised: "Your Majesty's method is really exquisite!"

"Most of the Ming Dynasty's forts at various border gates are multi-story structures. The top floor is used for setting off beacon fires, and the inside is used for housing and fighting.

Therefore, Wubao must do a great job.

Therefore, every Wubao costs Nuo a lot of money and food. "

The more Yao Cheng thought about it, the more exquisite he felt, and he repeatedly praised:

"Your Majesty took a different approach, not only using local materials, but also deleting unnecessary structures.

For example, this will build a separate residential area!

Naturally, this residence does not need to be built so thickly. This not only reduces the difficulty of construction, but also improves the living conditions. "

Yao Cheng came from a military background, so he naturally knew how bad the air in Wubao was.

As a military unit itself, the windows of Wubao are very small.

Not only was the ventilation and lighting poor, it was also a little damp inside.

Coupled with the stinky smell of human urine and horse excrement, the taste is simply unmentionable!

Zhu Youjian said: "I'm a little unsure. If we change the residential area outside the fortress, will it be dangerous if we encounter enemies?"

Although he separated the battle fortress from the military camp based on the experience of later generations.

However, when I get it at the end of the Ming Dynasty, I don’t know if it will be acclimatized.

After all, there is a big gap between the technology of this era and that of later generations!

Yao Cheng laughed: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if you are at the border, it will naturally be dangerous.

At this pass, it’s no problem! "

"I have already gone to see it. There are hills everywhere in this pass. As long as a fort is built on each hill, even if the enemy attacks...

We can only lose one or two fortresses, but what does that matter? "
