As expected, the Han army did not stop and hurried back to Liaodong after picking up Zhang Yi's family. The captain was afraid that the people under his command would not want to leave if they stayed for a while, so he hurriedly evacuated.
Wuhuan began to build the city, and Zhang Qi didn't want to keep them and Zhang Yi's family, so he let them leave. However, before leaving, Zhang Qi asked them to take away 10,000 cattle and sheep, 3,000 horses, and loads of cloth and silk people. It was his dowry to Qinghua.
Faced with Zhang Qi's generosity, Zhang Guang readily accepted it without hesitation. During these days in Wuhuan, he had a pleasant conversation with Qinghua. Qinghua was not the shrew he expected, but was knowledgeable and courteous, so the last trace of his heart was The resistance is gone, and he no longer resists his father's matchmaking advice.
But before Zhang Chan left, she glanced at Zhang Qi for a few seconds. She knew clearly that the handsome man her father was talking about was him. Unfortunately, she was not chosen by anyone, and instead asked him to marry his sister.
The departure of the Han army, Zhang Guang and others caused Wuhuan to move at a high speed, especially the 40,000 to 50,000 prisoners brought back. After a short rest for one night, they were put into work.
Excavating the foundation, this is the foundation of the Wuhuan City wall. It is not wide, only two meters, which is the thickness of the concrete of the outer wall.
During the discussion between Hu Ling and Zhang Qi, the city wall of Wuhuan City was 12 meters thick and 14 meters high. The thickness of the city wall was encircled by a section of earth wall between the two sections of inner and outer walls.
The concrete thickness of the inner and outer walls is two meters each, with an eight-meter earth wall in between.
There is no corresponding pouring equipment, so all internal and external walls are constructed in stages. Two meters and two meters have to be repaired upwards. This also makes the filling of the middle earth wall much more convenient.
The soil from the excavation of the foundation can be piled directly inside, and when the first stage of the two-meter city wall is completed, it can be directly compacted.
Such a high-rise building requires an indispensable skeleton. Steel bars are too extravagant and Zhang Qi cannot build them at present, so bamboo bars are used. Although this will reduce the service life of the city wall, it can give the concrete city wall a long-lasting effect. It is stronger than the city walls of this era, and it is also cheap.
Bamboo is not uncommon in the Northeast in this era. It is still at the end of the warm period. Compared with the Northeast where small varieties of bamboo grow during the cold period, there are even more varieties in this era.
What is a warm period? To put it simply, during this period, the north was livable, while the south was hot and suffocating. During this era, even Dongting Lake, a land of plenty and plenty, was still a barren land, and Changsha was used as a place to exile officials.
In the king's tent.
Zhang Qi looked at the expenditure records recorded these days.
Hu Ling and several managers stood aside.
After a long time, Zhang Qi closed the record book: "I have done well these days. Although the food consumption has increased, this is also due to the increase in work intensity."
"My focus is not here yet, so Wuhuan still has to be managed by you. All I can do is ensure your logistics as much as possible.
They all come from the Kingdom of God. I believe you also know that food has never been a problem for us, so let’s continue to do it. As long as we can maintain public security issues and health issues, I will handle the rest. "
Zhang Qi's words made Hu Ling and others breathe a sigh of relief. During the remaining month of Zhang Qi's absence, Wuhuan's food consumption doubled and tripled. The originally stored grain plus the production of cattle and sheep were enough for Wuhuan to survive. It was a cold winter, but as work on the city wall began, food became only enough to last for two or two months.
This time, Zhang Qi brought back 40,000 to 50,000 prisoners, which caused a sharp increase in food consumption. As a last resort, Hu Ling had to bring people over to question Zhang Qi.
However, Jun Shang's vision has always been long-term. Faced with the consumption of food, he fully accepted it, which made Hu Ling and others feel relieved.
"but."
Zhang Qi returned the record book to Hu Ling, and with a "no", the hearts of these people were lifted up again.
"Self-sufficiency is also important. As the key point in facing the Han and Xiongnu, Wuhuan's food output is a little weak. I can admit that it is weak, but being weak does not mean that it cannot produce anything at all.
Therefore, in addition to completing the construction of the city wall in the next period of time, we also need to arrange manpower for fishing and hunting. Such good fishing and hunting resources in this land cannot be wasted. "
Hu Ling and others couldn't help but put their heels together, stood at attention in a standard posture, and then all agreed to 'promise'!
They left. Zhang Qi sat in the king's tent and listened to the noise outside. In just one year, he had accumulated everything from scratch. Now he had the capital to join the competition, and a wave of excitement surged in his heart. Share the pride.
The chants and shouts outside now turned into passionate drumbeats in his ears, inspiring his heart.
"The next step is to increase the number of soldiers, gradually encroach on eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning, gain more people, increase the level of power to gain more cavalry and cut down troops, the biggest trump card in your hand is still those silent warriors, with them here, in Every difficult battle has a silver lining!”
Zhang Qi squinted his eyes and looked bright. After a moment, he walked out of the royal court and went to Wuhuan's granary.
Let Hu Ling arrange for people to observe, focusing on the prisoners. In the sound of prayers, in the heavy prayers, Zhang Qi disappeared out of thin air, and then countless grains of grain appeared with him.
In order to allow Wuhuan to devote himself to construction, Zhang Qi, in addition to setting aside three million dinars for emergencies, cleared out all other dinars and brought out enough food for 100,000 people for a month.
What is the concept of enough food for 100,000 people for a month? If one person consumes one kilogram of grain a day, then 100,000 people will need to consume 100,000 kilograms. In one month, three million kilograms, or 1,500 tons.
These grains piled up like a mountain, allowing those who were captured to be completely brainwashed by the God's teachings without any need to spread them. Having seen it with their own eyes, they now believe in the God more than anyone else.
Zhang Qi once again provided insurance for Wuhuan, minimizing the danger that the prisoners might cause.
After completing this, he left calmly in the adoring eyes of all the believers.
The rest can be left to Hu Ling and the others to arrange for people to put the grain into the warehouse. Hu Ling and the others are not stupid, and most of the arrangements are for prisoners. After seeing it with their own eyes and having done it with them, they have become potential Zhang Qizi from now on. As a citizen, as long as you earn enough work points, you can restore your status as an ordinary person.
After leaving, Zhang Qi entered the world of riding and slashing again after returning to the king's tent.
Just when he was preparing food, someone had already reported to him about the three-masted sailboat in the dock.
Done!
