"Sir, why does this tower slope outward? Isn't it very dangerous? The tower may collapse at any time."
Hao Dadao was responsible for the construction of the internal houses, so Wei B asked Wu Santong to be responsible for the construction of the outer towers. At this time, everyone gathered around the drawings, and Wu Santong expressed his doubts.
Wei B said: "Don't worry about collapse. The center of gravity of the tower is still on the inside. As long as the number of people standing at the end does not exceed 500, the tower will never collapse."
The tower designed by Wei B extends outward. In order to facilitate the perspective when facing the enemy later, the tower extends outward so that you can see if someone is secretly climbing up the cliff. The overall shape is a bit like an eaves protruding outward. Construction
It's difficult, but it's not difficult either.
Just like stacking building blocks, the top one of the same-sized building blocks protrudes outward by one-third, always ensuring that the center of gravity is at the back, and so on, plus the continuous stacking of bricks and stones at the back, the center of gravity of the tower is always on the ground, and the suspended part is
It will definitely not collapse.
Wei B explained it and demonstrated it in front of everyone with a brick, which finally dispelled the concerns of Wu Santong and others.
The construction of the tower was urgent, and Wei B did not know when his stronghold would be suddenly exposed.
But it is not expected to take long, because he plans to help the Wei clan arm a team of 5,000 people in the near future, including stab-proof clothing, spears, and crossbows. He will try to get it done before the end of the year. No matter what the form is next year, the world will definitely be full of heroes.
, only then can the Wei family be able to protect themselves.
He could purchase the anti-stab suit himself, and left the spear to the villagers in Haojia Village to make it. As for the crossbow, he gave the blueprint to Wei. If Wei couldn't figure it out, he could only purchase it, but the risk of exposure would be
will be bigger.
For this reason, he had to speed up the construction of fortifications. Even if tens of thousands of troops were to surround him, he would be able to deal with it calmly.
After another explanation with Wu Santong and others, Wei B took Hao Zhao to the brick factory.
Today, the brick factory has expanded several times, with six new brick kilns, producing up to 20,000 bricks every day.
The women have a clear division of labor: those who carry water, those who carry soil, those who mix mud and spread ash, cast molds, and dry and bake. The whole process has shown the scale of an assembly line production, and everyone works in an orderly manner.
Seeing Wei B coming, Aunt Manhua, who was preparing meals in the cafeteria, ran out.
"Sir, I'm afraid the food reserves are not enough. Now there are hundreds more people to eat, and the daily consumption is very terrible."
Wei B had expected it and comforted him: "Don't worry, Aunt Manhua, new food will be delivered tomorrow."
Aunt Manhua breathed a sigh of relief,
I knew that the Wei family was sending food again. After all, it was the time of autumn harvest, and the most important thing for the Wei family was food.
In the letter Wei B sent to the Wei family, in addition to further 'forecasting' the situation in North Korea and the drawing, it did mention asking the Wei family to send some supplies, but the specific amount was not specified.
Wei B has already thought about secretly going back tonight and ordering a batch of rice noodles. By then, he will be self-sufficient even if there is no regular supply from Wei.
However, if you want to make a large purchase, you will have to spend money. It seems that those golden nanmu boxes have to be sold.
And Wei's goldsmith, why haven't you sent it to me yet?
What Wei B didn't know was that Wei's family was experiencing another major earthquake at this time.
Dong Zhuo somehow managed to rescue the young Emperor Liu Bian and Chenliu King Liu Xie who were on the run, and then entered Luoyang City with a large number of soldiers in the name of escort. Thousands of armored soldiers acted recklessly in Luoyang, robbing civilian women and looting large amounts of gold and silver.
Materials.
Even the property of aristocratic families is no exception. Dong Zhuo's army relies on the strength of their numbers. No matter what your status is, as long as they take a fancy to you, they will rob you with one word!
After receiving the news, everyone in the Wei family looked at each other in shock. Some people said happily: "No wonder B'er wants us to withdraw from Luoyang. He has already anticipated this day."
"Dong Zhuo is so unscrupulous, isn't he afraid of arousing public anger?" someone asked coldly.
Sitting at the top, Wei B and Nai Wu Jing really couldn't figure out why Wei B wanted to join forces with Dong Zhuo.
However, Wei C's expression changed, and he vaguely grasped something. He actually felt that cooperating with Dong Zhuo would be better than cooperating with Sun Jian.
But he didn't say it out loud. After all, Dong Zhuo's actions were totally outrageous.
Wei C twisted his beard and smiled, relieved in his heart, and secretly sighed: "B'er is indeed amazing. Dong Zhuo's ambition is clearly revealed, and he doesn't shy away from taking and taking it. Cooperating with him is better than those two-faced smiling tigers, but I don't know
What will b’er do next?”
During the heated discussion on Wei's side.
Wei Gong has already driven into Luliang Mountain with a convoy transporting food.
After receiving the news, Wei B came down to greet him in person as soon as possible.
Wei Gong smiled and said: "Second brother, I think you have to build a big granary. Second uncle asked me to transport all last year's old grain for you, which is worth ten thousand stones, hahaha."
"So many?!" Wei B was surprised and happy.
Wei Gong nodded and said: "It just happened that farmers from various places sent new grain for the autumn harvest, so I asked them to help transport it. You should quickly make someone clear a place. This much grain is enough for the people in the village to eat for several years."
Wei B smiled and shook his head, "It will take about a year and a half to eat. It is impossible to eat for a few years. There are many people here."
Wei B said, and then asked: "By the way, where is the goldsmith I want? Have you brought it?"
Emiya nodded and waved behind him, and saw more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly people of various ages walking over.
"These people are all the best goldsmiths in Hedong. The leader, Mr. Jin, was once a royal craftsman, and more than half of the gold ornaments in the palace were made by him. The rest of the people are not bad either, not only gold ornaments, jade carvings, wood carvings, and stone carvings, but also their personal
A proficient person, good at everything.”
When Wei B heard this, he smiled from ear to ear.
At this moment, two young men stood up from the crowd. The first one had a square face and a big chin, holding a Qingfeng sword. The other was a powerful man, holding a short bow with horns. The two came to Wei B and clasped their fists respectfully.
A gift: "Xu Ding (Xu Zhu) has met the young master."
Wei b: "..."
???
August 18th, the boundary of Youzhou.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who had killed Du You with hatred, were on their way to escape pursuit.
At this time, the three of them no longer had the same high spirits as when they became sworn brothers in Taoyuan. Along the way, the three of them were tired of travel and suffered from hunger.
Zhang Fei touched his chapped lips, looked up at the sky, and said, "Brother, second brother, let's find a place to rest."
Liu Bei looked back and saw Zhang Fei lagging far behind them. His second brother Guan Yu looked at him and sighed helplessly.
"Brother, as my third brother said, let's find a place to rest. I'll go to the woods to see if I can catch some prey."
Liu Bei looked defeated and nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work, second brother. There is a forest ahead. Let's rest there tonight."
The three of them walked towards the forest. Halfway there, the ground suddenly shook.
The three of them thought they were pursuing soldiers and were so frightened that they hurriedly hid in the bushes nearby. After enduring hunger for so many days, they no longer had the strength to confront others. At this moment, hiding was the top priority.
The vibrating sound came from far to near, and soon a cavalry composed of pure white horses appeared in front of the three people.
When he saw the leading knight, Liu Bei's eyes lit up, he stood up and jumped out of the bushes.
"Bogui, Bogui..."
"Be brave. Who is coming? Tell me quickly."
As soon as Liu Bei jumped out, he saw a handsome young man shooting at him with a spear.
The cold light arrived first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon. Liu Bei almost stumbled to the ground in fright. Fortunately, Guan Yu reacted in time and pulled Liu Bei away. He swung the big knife forward, barely blocking the young man's spear point.
.
"Zilong, stop."
Hearing this, the young man quickly retracted his spear, but no one knew that a piece of skin was torn on his palm, causing burning pain.
The middle-aged man who spoke also had handsome features. He was dressed in a white military uniform and had a three-foot green-edged sword hanging from his waist. He looked extremely handsome.
I saw him approaching on horseback. Seeing the panicked Liu Bei, his eyes lit up: "But Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?"
When Liu Bei saw him, he almost burst into tears. He nodded and said, "Brother Bogui, you are right here."
Gongsun Zan didn't expect to meet his former classmates here. Seeing Liu Bei in a mess, he frowned and asked: "Xuande, this is... I heard that you made great military exploits and was made an Anxi County captain, but how could you end up in such a mess?"
?”
Liu Bei and his second and third brothers looked at each other, and finally sighed: "Oh, it's a long story."
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan knew that there must be something hidden, and hurriedly said: "In this case, Xuande, there are two brave men, if you don't mind, please go back with me, don't say anything else, I will take care of the good wine and food."
Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this. He was originally a rich second generation and had not suffered much hardship since he was a child. He felt that he had lost weight several times while sleeping rough on the road, and he urgently needed a meal of wine and meat to comfort his injured heart.
"Okay, brother, let's go with him." Zhang Fei couldn't help but be happy.
Guan Yu frowned slightly and held Zhang Fei to prevent him from speaking.
Liu Bei first apologized for Zhang Fei's recklessness, and then said: "Brother Bogui's kindness is appreciated by my three brothers. It's just that there is another reason why the three of us ended up like this. I'm afraid that Bogui will be harmed."
Brother."
Gongsun Zan was startled when he heard this, his eyes lingered on Guan Yu for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Hahaha, to be honest with Xuande, I am now an official of General Fenwu, Feng Jihou. In this land of Youzhou, what I said still works.
Yes. If Xuande is willing, there is still a vacancy for the Sima position under me, and you can definitely follow me and make great achievements together."
Liu Bei's expression trembled, showing jealousy and unwillingness, but more importantly, he was glad that he no longer had to hide around.
After weighing the situation, Liu Bei showed a grateful expression, cupped his hands and said, "Bei and my brothers, I hope that the general will act accordingly."
When Gongsun Zan saw that he had recruited a strong general (Guan Yu) so easily, he was also very happy. He said to the young man on the side: "Zilong, you heard it. Why don't you go and inform the chef? Today I want to have a drink with three strong men."
The young man glanced at Guan Yu, his starry eyes filled with defiance. Feeling the heartbreaking pain in his palms, he cupped his fists and responded, "Take orders!"
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan smiled and said to Guan Yu: "Don't blame this strong man. Zilong is like this when he urinates. When he sees a master, he can't help but want to compete with him. But it has to be said that it can make Zilong like this."
If you are weak, a strong man must be a man of great skill."
Guan Yufeng raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Gongsun Zan, whom he had deliberately made friends with, and just nodded without saying a word in response.
Gongsun Zan was a little embarrassed, and the white horses behind him all looked at Guan Yu angrily.
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The general has many talented people. I heard that the general has three thousand white horses and loyal followers. I guess the man just now is one of them. No wonder he is so brave at such a young age."
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan shook his head helplessly, "Zilong is just a disciple of a good friend of mine. He is not a member of White Horse. He just came here to practice with me, alas."
"Ah?" Liu Bei smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He thought he had some ability to judge people. Although the white horse Yi Cong behind Gongsun Zan was also a good player, he was still a little inferior to the young man just now.
When he thought that the young man was not Gongsun Zan's follower, Liu Bei couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.
???
"Xu Zhu!"
Wei B looked at the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him and didn't react for a moment.
Xu Zhu and his eldest brother Xu Ding were also stunned, and hurriedly clasped their fists and responded: "I am the one who has met the young master."
Wei B confirmed again: "A member of the Xu clan in Qiao County?"
Xu Zhu glanced at his eldest brother beside him, nodded and said, "Yes, both of my brothers are from Qiao County."
Wei B looked at Xu Zhu in front of him in disbelief, "Good guy, this guy can't read". He was thinking of taking Dian Wei and Xu Zhu away before, but now he has sent them directly to his door. This is it.
"What are you two?" Wei B asked curiously.
Wei Gong next to him saw this and said: "Second brother, this is what my uncle meant. It is comfortable for you to live in seclusion in the mountains, but your safety is never guaranteed. My uncle is kind to the people of Qiao County. Boyan and Zhong
The two brothers Kang are here to protect the young master."
Xu Ding clasped his fists and said: "Don't worry, Master. My two brothers know what to do and what not to do. Please accept the two of them. There is no other way, but my two brothers are skilled in martial arts and will be able to protect the Master."
comprehensive."
Good guy, who is that second uncle of mine? He can actually get Xu Zhu to be his bodyguard. If he wants to bring Dian Wei and Lu Bu over to him later, then I can just rise up. He has a fierce general like a tiger, and this world is like a tiger.
It’s not yet readily available.
A thought that he thought was ridiculous flashed through his mind. He looked at Xu Ding and Xu Zhu. Wei B calmed down and said, "That's fine. You two brothers can just stay. You can help me train a bodyguard."
Xu Zhu brothers quickly said yes.
When Wei Gong saw that Wei C had completed the task assigned to him, he asked: "Second brother, what did you promise me?"
Wei B was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, uu reading www.uukanshu.com frowned and said: "The one for you hasn't been finished yet, but there is a nice spear. Do you want to play with it first?"
"Spear?" Emiya was a little disappointed. He didn't really like weapons like guns. They were not as handsome as swords when used.
Wei B, on the other hand, suddenly looked at Xu Zhu, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Yes, the name of the gun is the Gentian Liang Silver Gun. It's quite heavy. I guess you can't lift it. I guess only Brother Zhongkang can still carry it."
It’s okay, but it’s quite boring.”
Xu Zhu originally thought that he had nothing to do with him, but when he heard that Wei B doubted his strength, he immediately stopped and said with clasped fists: "Master, I have been incredibly strong since I was a child. The short bow in my hand weighs six stones. I can't dance in this world without me."
A moving weapon."
Xu Ding looked at Wei B expressionlessly. He knew that Wei B deliberately provoked Xu Zhu, but he did not stop him. For some reason, he felt that Wei B was no stranger to his younger brother. He seemed to have heard about it a long time ago.
This is just for testing.
Thinking of this, he felt at ease. As long as he could successfully complete the tasks assigned by Wei C, his parents, brothers and sisters at home would not have to worry about food and drink. In this way, the two brothers would be willing to die outside.
As for Wei B's temptation, he didn't take it to heart. As Xu Zhu said, there was no weapon in the world that he couldn't wield.
