Chapter 376: The Wall is Completed
After spring, the weather gradually becomes hotter.
The city wall was finally built.
After hearing the news that the city wall was finally completed, Lu Chensheng hurried to the city wall.
Standing by the female wall of the city wall, you can see that the bottom seems to be a bit like an abyss, deep and steep.
The mountains were originally steep, but now that the city wall has been added, it is difficult to attack the city wall even with a siege ladder.
The city wall stretched away, forming a huge encirclement, firmly surrounding the valley.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chensheng's face was filled with joy. The city wall was finally built, which gave him a lot of confidence.
At least there is this city wall. It would be extremely difficult for outsiders to attack the city wall.
There is only one gap, and a high city wall has been built there, which can be compared with the city walls next to the mountains.
At such a height, it would be extremely difficult for the Tatars to capture the city wall.
After the opponent comes, the only thing that can be done is to besiege the city. As long as the people in the city are besieged to the point of exhaustion, the city will naturally be destroyed unfairly.
Now that the city wall is in place, what is missing is food.
"This city wall is really majestic. I just went outside the city to take a look. At first glance, it seemed like there was an extra white line on the mountain range."
Bai Yi's pretty face was filled with joy, and she excitedly said to Lu Chensheng.
After hearing that the city wall was being built, she was overjoyed and went outside the city to see how majestic the city wall was.
Erecting such a city wall on the mountain range really makes people feel that this is a work of miraculous craftsmanship.
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he glanced at Bai Yi with a strange expression on his face, "Isn't this the same in the valley?"
Bai Yi was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to feel that there was no need to go out of the valley to see.
After all, there is no difference between what you see inside the valley and what you see outside.
Thinking of this, seeing Lu Chensheng looking at him in a funny way, his pretty face turned slightly red.
"I'm just going out to see how I can break through this line of defense from the enemy's perspective!"
Bai Yi found an excuse, and besides, it was a pretty good reason.
As a general, she still has good vision.
Naturally, when the enemy came, they came from outside. She could change the angle outside and try to find a loophole.
Lu Chensheng had no way to refute this.
"Well, has the lady found any flaws?"
Lu Chensheng kept a straight face, trying not to laugh out loud, and then asked Bai Yi.
"The city wall is too high. If foreign enemies want to attack, it will be very difficult. Especially for nomadic people without the help of siege equipment, it will be even more difficult to climb to the sky."
Bai Yi heard this and responded seriously.
Even she had fought so many battles, but after looking at such a majestic city wall, she still felt that it was extremely difficult.
This kind of city wall can't be taken down even if you risk your lives to fill it!
"The only drawback is that there is not enough food in the city. If the other party besieges the city, there will be more and more people in the city. If Xinghan City does not have enough food, the time it will last will be less."
Bai Yi opened his mouth and said something.
Lu Chensheng nodded when he heard this. This idea came to him at the same time, so at this moment, Lu Chensheng was already desperately trying to get the fifth day to buy food.
Han merchants now no longer come here to bring things that foreigners need. They basically bring food and help transport goods.
Several granaries have been built in the valley, with doors installed to store food.
"The food issue will be solved."
Lu Chensheng replied at this moment, this matter has always been something he has been supervising.
Bai Yi also knew that she had heard Lu Chensheng talk to Chu Wu about the food problem countless times earlier.
Lu Chensheng already knew the importance of food before the city wall was built.
Bai Yi admired this foresight.
"You can arrange the patrol matters next."
Lu Chensheng looked around and was extremely satisfied with the height of the city wall.
The city wall work is over, and now there will be a lot of free manpower that can be devoted to other tasks.
Bai Yi nodded in agreement. In fact, she already had some plans for some patrol tasks on the city wall. Lu Chensheng didn't need to ask her to arrange them.
After staying on the city wall for a while, Lu Chensheng turned around and got off the city wall.
Next to the stairs, several avenues are still being built.
The avenue opens in a zigzag pattern towards the city wall.
After the construction of this avenue is completed, you can abandon the stairs and the speed will be much faster without taking too much effort.
Under the valley, many houses have been built. New houses are not free, but the prices are extremely low, allowing the people to pay back the money slowly.
Based on the money that people in the city can earn every month now, this amount of money is still affordable.
Many of the houses in the old city are dilapidated, but the people are still very willing to move to new houses. Now dozens of families have moved in.
In some time, when the houses have been built, the people can all move in.
By that time, the old city will be completely demolished.
When foreigners come to trade, the old city is their trading market, while Han merchants can go to the valley to trade.
This is done to prevent foreigners from penetrating into the valley to cause damage. It is difficult to tell whether the people coming are spies.
On the other hand, it would be better to simply arrange everything outside.
Some commodities are sold at different prices to the people in the city. If foreigners come in to take a look, they may lose a lot of business.
Nowadays, in business, foreigners’ goods are still very profitable.
Lu Chensheng has asked people to keep a lot of some precious medicinal materials and store them in the warehouse.
Lu Chensheng inspected the valley, and he could see many strong men lifting blue stones and walking forward. Sweat fell one by one, but there was no trace of sadness on their faces.
Bearings are difficult to make!
Lu Chensheng looked at this scene and sighed slightly.
If the bearings come out, you can get a small cart to transport these large stones, which is convenient and easy and saves effort.
It's just that given the current conditions, it's basically impossible to make a bearing. If we really wanted to make it, we'd probably have to ask craftsmen to make a small shape and then polish it out bit by bit.
