The big sun hangs in the sky, which is undoubtedly an excellent weather.
At this moment, in the direction of Wucheng facing Qingzhou, there are many people working. One group of people is quarrying stones in the nearby mountains, another group of people are transporting stones, and another group of people are using the quarried big stones.
Stones to repair the city wall.
Construction is always more difficult than destruction. This hole has been blown open for more than half a year, but now the repair progress is not even one-fifth completed.
But this matter is inevitable. Now because of the nuclear bomb explosion, the court does not dare to use troops for the time being, but if it takes a few years, it may not be possible.
Although the plank road was burned down, it is not impossible for the imperial court to repair it. From Qingzhou to Nanhuang, there are many dangerous places along the way, but as long as human lives are spared, it is not impossible to cross.
Everything depends on whether it is worth it or not.
And if that time comes, the city wall of Wucheng, which is more than fifty meters high, will be the strongest barrier.
Therefore, it is imperative to build the city wall.
However, since ancient times, building city walls has been a major undertaking, which not only consumes manpower, but also consumes a lot of money.
Under this circumstance, he selected the best among the militiamen in Wucheng and selected 3,000, and raised 70,000.
The Taoists in Huang Tianjun, now headed by Huang Qi, form the core of Tiangong Pavilion. As early as half a month ago, the Taoists had already started work, groping and rolling seamless steel pipes. As for the high-purity gunpowder,
This thing is too dangerous, so Zhao Cheng still practices it by himself.
Among them, Zhao Cheng also vigorously supported carpenters and blacksmiths. On the one hand, he established relevant apprentice training institutions and on the other hand, he encouraged craftsmen to innovate.
Perhaps in the eyes of other heroes, population is very important, but Zhao Cheng does not attach much importance to this aspect, because the population of Southern Wilderness itself is already quite large.
If Zhao Cheng had not been in Qingzhou, he had killed many local wealthy families, exterminated their families and ransacked their homes, accumulated a large amount of gold, silver and grain, and obtained a batch of money and grain from Wucheng, he would not have dared to build the city wall easily.
I was thinking in my heart, and in the void, huge Qi was gathering at Zhao Cheng's Tao Seed all the time, nourishing the Tao Seed.
Of course, Zhao Cheng was not in a hurry about this matter, but planned to wait until more explosives, repeating crossbows, and even muskets came out before attacking to reduce losses.
And this is what Zhao Cheng is doing simultaneously while reorganizing the army, which is to truly lay out the foundation of the Ministry of Works.
Zhao Cheng attaches great importance to this matter, and anyone who dares to block it will be killed directly.
Zhao Cheng came up with a simple assessment system to grade all craftsmen. The higher the grade, the better the treatment. If there is contribution, there will be rewards.
As for now, we can only rely on the Taoists in Tiangong Pavilion to make it on a small scale.
The first thing he did when he entered the Southern Wilderness was, among other things, to reorganize the Ying Tian Army and completely finalize the civil and military system.
Instead, they use food as wages.
Zhao Cheng does not force those who are unwilling to leave their hometown.
This is also the third major event that Zhao Cheng has come to Nanhuang to do. The Taoist priests among his generals have undergone a career change and are no longer on the battlefield to fight, but can truly play their role.
But this was what Zhao Cheng did intentionally.
At this time, Zhao Cheng was standing on the wall of Wucheng, looking at the huge gap. It was fun to blow up the city for a while, but repairing it was really a troublesome matter.
A Taoist is actually comparable to a small manufacturing platform. It is really a waste to use it to fight with people.
Zhao Cheng's eyes on the city wall looked towards Wucheng from the gap in the city wall.
These 70,000 were divided into seven armies by Zhao Cheng. Each army consisted of 10,000 people. Among them, the 10,000 under Zhao Cheng's command were named Yingtian. They were the best of the best and brought together the best of the entire army. Subsequently,
The six armies, however, have no names. They belong to the Yingtian Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, etc., all the way up to the Seventh Army.
It has been more than a month since Zhao Cheng returned to the Southern Wasteland. During this time, he has naturally not only built the city wall. Compared with the various things he has done, building the city wall is only a less conspicuous one among them.
Zhao Cheng has now mastered the means of manufacturing fertilizer. If he subsequently conquers cities and territories, he will no longer need too many people to farm the land. Naturally, all the excess people will be sent to the "factory" to increase the war potential.
On the contrary, it would be more troublesome to bring too many ordinary people to the Southern Wilderness and resettle them.
And if the furnace temperature reaches the temperature, Zhao Cheng will not be able to burn cement, but will definitely use this high-strength steel to make guns.
Apart from this, Zhao Cheng finally rebuilt the civil servant system headed by Li Tonghai and let Li Tonghai take charge of logistics matters.
It was not easy to build industry in ancient times. Even if Zhao Cheng now occupies Wucheng and has a large number of craftsmen, the quality of these craftsmen is generally not high. For example, when it comes to burning cement, the formula of cement is actually not high.
It's complicated, but the requirements for the furnace fire are too high. One thousand five hundred degrees, this temperature, is enough to smelt high-strength steel.
As for firing cement, Zhao Cheng is already working on this matter.
Zhao Cheng deeply understands the truth that money has no value in nature. What is valuable is always people, the so-called population resources, and money is just a number.
Nowadays, although the territory of Qingzhou has been lost, the amount of Qi has been greatly reduced, but Taoist practice is not based on Qi, but on Qi as food.
Huang Tian's army that followed him to Southern Wilderness numbered more than 60,000, and his own Ying Tian army numbered more than 5,000. Together, the total number was about 67,000.
Inheriting Huang Tian Taoist's foundation, he not only obtained 60,000 usable elites, but also obtained a large number of craftsmen. Even before the heroes came to Qingzhou, he had already begun to march southward.
The population has been transferred.
If you are literate, then become a teacher and teach people how to write. If you are not literate and have skills, then become a craftsman in the army. If you are not good at anything, then become a craftsman's apprentice. Learn the craft during the day and go to night school at night.
There are also grains to get, and if you perform well and pass the assessment, you will get extra grains.
Let's take Zhao Cheng as an example. In terms of force, once he exhausted his magic power, he could only kill ten armors. However, the same Taoist practice, whether it was used to rub seamless steel pipes or refine high-explosives, the profit in a day was,
More than ten enemies must be killed.
In the past, Zhao Cheng only had 5,000 troops, so he could only rely on the natural dangers of Wucheng to garrison. Now that he has more troops, he is no longer afraid of Wu Qi's attack, and instead plans to take the initiative to attack the opponent.
Zhao Cheng's idea is to concentrate on doing big things.
The first ones to move were mainly the family members of the army, then the craftsmen, and finally, those who were willing to follow the army into the Southern Wilderness.
At this time, in Wucheng, there were almost no people on the streets, showing a depressing scene.
In this day and age, how luxurious is it to use grain as a binder?!
In order to prevent cliques in the military, promotions in the military are also on a rotational basis. Whenever officers are promoted, they will be transferred to other armies.
If the city wall wants to be strong, the adhesive cannot use soil ash, but a mixture of glutinous rice slurry, slaked lime, egg white, sand and gravel and other materials.
There were also some people behind him at this time, including Lin Yi on the left and Li Tonghai on the right. The pattern of coexistence of civil and military forces has been initially demonstrated.
Now Yingtian's 70,000 troops, excluding 10,000 of Yingtian's troops, are stationed in the military camps in Wucheng, and the remaining 60,000 are all camped outside Wucheng.
The commander of each army is a general, and Zhao Cheng is naturally the general.
Without the months of bloody battles in Qingzhou, it would have been impossible for Zhao Cheng to reorganize Ying Tian's army, but now, it was decided with one word.
Because the city gates were closed, most of the people in the city were in a state of food shortage. However, Zhao Cheng, who had a large amount of food, did not sell the food in his hands.
Calculating the time, by March next year, Zhao Chenggong will be able to form a musketeer battalion of about 2,000 people, enough to kill Wu Qi's army.
Until the end, it swept the world with a torrent of steel.
Of course, Wu Qi's troops actually did not have 100,000 troops. Now they are only about 60,000, but they are just called 100,000.
At the beginning, Wu Qi used three thousand tigers and leopards to defeat Huang Tian's fifty thousand armor. In the spring of March, it was time for Wu Qi to see what it means to defeat one hundred thousand with two thousand.
With the accumulation in Qingzhou some time ago, and the benefits gained during this period in Wucheng, finally, quietly, Zhao Cheng's Tao seed blossomed to the ninth level.
As the Tao seed changes, his body also begins to transform in subtle ways. However, this is not the most important. The most important thing is that the demon dye in Zhao Cheng's Tao seed has become more and more intense, and there are many subtle and mysterious things.
, flowing out from the demon dye.
Of course, the demon fetus in the void saw that Zhao Cheng was more hopeful about establishing an earthly kingdom, so he increased his investment.
On the outside, Zhao Cheng's Qi became stronger all of a sudden, as if destiny had been determined. When people look at it, they will have a feeling that this person has destiny.
