If a moat is completely filled with water, it can be poured in little by little with buckets by manpower alone.
That treasure may not be seen in my lifetime.
Generally, moats are filled with water, and the water in the moat is not stagnant water. It is even an important water source for the entire city.
When Zhang Bao thought about this, he was completely dumbfounded.
After all, I just kept it simple.
Although I understand history, these things are just a simple brush stroke in the history books.
But it is the final form formed after many changes.
Zhang Bao has only seen this final form, but does not have a deep understanding of its origin. There is naturally a difference between the two.
Fortunately, the trench digging went smoothly.
The Wang family had become evil during this period and were very cooperative. So many members of the Wang family had died before, so Zhang Bao asked them to replenish the number.
In fact, he was just waiting for them to rebel and rebel, so that they could deal with the Wang family in a fair and just way.
After all, the power of the aristocratic family cannot be underestimated. If Zhang Bao directly attacks the Wang family for no reason, then many other aristocratic families will probably unite to resist.
It will also be a troublesome time.
At this time, the Wang family was just a big piece of fat in Zhang Bao's eyes.
Just like He Shen at the beginning, you will give money when you ask for it, and you will cooperate with others when you ask for it, but you are just like a bastard who scratches the lid and is very stingy.
If the Wang family is killed, all his wealth and people will belong to the county government.
Without the middleman like the Wang family, profits will naturally be maximized.
Although more than one person once told Zhang Bao to rely on the power of the aristocratic family.
But Zhang Bao understood.
These aristocratic families will never bet their money on him. If other forces become stronger in the future, they will still turn against him.
And they have done it to this extent. Even if they want to take advantage of it, there is already a suspicion, so it is better to kill them all.
But the recent high level of cooperation from the Wang family has given Zhang Bao no reason to take action.
Let them give it away, and they gathered a lot of people to work on it.
Let them take care of the meals for these people, and they will prepare the meals and deliver them to the construction site.
Let them keep working day and night, and they will actually work in shifts.
With the Wang family taking the initiative, the progress of this river channel is still very fast.
Rivers without water are not useless. In ancient times, they were called city gods, or city moats. They were common in arid places with little rain, such as the northwest.
With this moat, at least it would be much more difficult to attack the city.
After Zhang Bao's investigation, it was found that the nearest river to Yunzhong County is five or six miles away.
Zhang Bao planned to dig a canal to divert the river and build a dam where it will merge into the moat to store water.
And a canal was dug in the city to allow water to flow.
By the way, I’ll also raise fish, raise a tortoise, raise...
This is no small project.
But now, according to the progress of more than two thousand people working day and night, it doesn’t seem to take much time...
In addition to the moat, Zhang Bao is also studying explosive bags.
We had already collected a lot of sulfur before, and the other two items were simple enough. This time the explosives went smoothly.
Zhang Bao regards explosives as a first-level secret in Yunzhong County.
Only people like Wu Dayong know.
Otherwise, if someone knows the power of this thing, sneak in quietly, set fire to it, and finish it immediately.
Now the catapults are all in Wu Dayong's team.
When the time comes when the explosive packs are combined with the catapult, this power will be unleashed.
originally.
Zhang Bao plans to make two cannons.
After all, it counts as having gunpowder.
But the sketch took a long time, and it was all about the appearance, not the structure at all.
Zhang Bao may have a fairly good understanding of the working principle of the mortar, but his understanding of the artillery at this time was limited to its appearance and the fact that there is a core on the outside.
I tried it according to the situation, and I made a big firecracker and blew it up directly.
They almost wiped out the people who made the cannon.
After Zhang Bao crawled out of the ruins with a dark face, he gave up immediately.
Gunpowder is so powerful that if you are not careful, you will destroy yourself.
Therefore, Zhang Bao chose the safer method of throwing explosive bags with a trebuchet, which was much safer.
at this time.
Inside Yunzhong County Pingan Inn.
Zhang Bao was cleaning up the people from the gold-touching brigade.
During this time.
It can be said that the men and horses of the gold-touching brigade have gained a lot.
Otherwise, Yunzhong County is a prosperous and prosperous county, with gold everywhere!
However, the cemeteries of those wealthy families were surrounded by guards, and after many tomb robbing incidents, those aristocratic families also took some measures.
Some have surrounded the entire cemetery.
Some send multiple people to patrol.
Some even dug up their ancestors and hid them at home.
no way.
The tomb that the gold-touching brigade had robbed was in a mess.
All the ancestors were hugging each other. This was pretty good, and the bad ones were all gone.
But even if the humanity of these aristocratic families is one foot higher, it cannot compare to the height of the demons of the gold-touching brigade.
Some time ago.
The people from the Mojin Brigade live in the same inn as the people from Baowei Thirty-Six Cavalry.
The captain of the Gold Touching Brigade specially invited Hu Dugu to give them several special operations lessons.
In a word.
Think what others dare not think, do what others dare not do.
Just do it and it’s done!
So it started in the cemeteries of various aristocratic families, about pretending to be ghosts, about being possessed by evil spirits, about drugging, about saping, using the yin first and then the soldiers...
Zhang Bao's wealth is also rising.
This inn has been bought by Zhang Bao at a high price.
The most important thing is that there are a lot of gold and silver jewelry hidden in the walls of this inn. It is really inseparable from this place.
"Everyone, I propose that we toast you with a toast!"
"If it weren't for the support of adults, how could we be where we are now?"
The captain of the gold-touching brigade stood up and said.
Zhang Bao smiled and waved his hand.
"To be honest, when I asked you to do this business, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it. Now that you don't mind, I feel relieved."
Zhang Bao said to everyone.
"No matter what the adults said, we are all afraid of being poor. What is more terrible than being poor?"
"My lord, you have said before that all ghosts and monsters are paper tigers!"
"We were just thinking about when we could catch a ghost. If we pull it out and sell it, then the ghost's life will not be in vain."
Captain Mojin's words made everyone burst into laughter.
"Recently, don't be in a hurry to go out. After finally coming back, take more rest."
"There is no shortage of money now, so there is no need to——"
