The southern suburbs of Wangyuan City have long been transformed into a large-scale construction site, with continuous four-story tube buildings rising from the ground in an orderly manner horizontally and vertically.
The logs were piled up like a hill, and countless stones were carried back and forth through sliding rods made of cuttlefish.
The first phase of the Biangong City Community has basically been completed and is just waiting for the acceptance by Cuiyu. However, after Chu Qing fell ill, Lao Mo was doing things in the Xuanyuan Pavilion or the Marshal's Mansion every day, so the people had to do what they could.
It looks like he is busy, but in fact he is idle. He just doesn’t want to appear idle, otherwise he will get a bad salary.
Because there are still many projects on the schedule, some manpower has been mobilized to the city and the north of the city. There have not been many people at the construction site in the southern suburbs recently. They are basically transporting materials and smoothing the road. If the cuttlefish does not appear, no one dares to continue the construction.
When Ma Rujing and his younger brothers came to the south of the city, the unruly people were having lunch.
Horse-drawn carriages brought all kinds of food, and there were several large pots every fifty meters. The fragrant chicken soup was freshly boiled, and there were even some green vegetables. There was enough rice, flatbreads, and pickles.
Deliver them here one by one.
When Ma Rujing and others passed by, they kept swallowing their saliva.
"Is this how people eat every day?" Ma Rujing turned his head and looked at Tian Hailong.
The generals on horseback all looked at the conch.
Ah Luo knew what everyone meant and said with a smile: "Guan Nei will transport the materials to Tongcheng and then to Jinge Town. Jinge Town has become a place for transporting materials. After counting, they will be sent. In addition to wages and materials,
People also spend a lot of money on food and other things every day."
Ma Rujing, who was here for an "inspection" for the first time, did not expect that the food here was so good, and he was deeply moved: "You must know that even the border officers and soldiers cannot eat these, not to mention eating, just being full is considered a good thing.
Well, this Chu Qing doesn’t care about money so much, I don’t know how many families he has…”
Before he could say the word "bottom", Ma Rujing wanted to scold her again.
He suddenly remembered what Lu Zhu said just now. Chu Qing was very upset during this period because he couldn't spend money and couldn't make ends meet.
It was the first time for others to come here, but not Tian Hailong. He was familiar with the road and took them to the "sales office" in the middle of the construction site.
The sales office is Chu Qing's name, and over time it spread among everyone. The so-called sales office is a two-story building. Cuiyu usually draws drawings, eats and sleeps, and handles errands. They are all here. It occupies a small area and has various
The foreman needs to come and report the work every day.
The sales office is relatively simple. After all, there is no need to actually sell the property, and there is no need to find a group of agents to make it fancy. There is not even a model room, it is just a walled courtyard surrounded by blue bricks, with a watchtower inside and two floors below.
Small building.
Everyone tied up their horses and walked into the courtyard.
After entering the hospital and the house, Ma Rujing was dumbfounded.
The sand table, a very large sand table, is exactly the Biangong City Sand Table.
"God help me!"
Ma Rujing laughed loudly: "With this sand table, I know how the house is built and what it should look like."
Tian Hailong who followed behind said nothing.
He felt that Ma Rujing simply lacked education.
If you can build a house just by looking at a sand table, don't guard the border. It would be great to go back to Beijing and find a job in the Ministry of Industry.
The sand table model made by Cuttlefish is very detailed, especially the details. Even the trees are included. They are all carved out of wood and divided into different areas.
In addition to the Tongzi Tower on the sand table, there is also a building with the name Bianbao Yamen written on it. Looking at the model, it occupies a larger area than the surrounding Tongzi Tower.
Everyone else understands everything else, at least they think they understand it, but they can't understand the border security yamen.
Ma Rujing waved his hand: "Go and call the foreman in charge. I have something to ask."
Tian Hailong ran out.
There were many foremen, ninety small foremen, thirty big foremen, and ten three-star foremen, but he knew who should be called.
After a while, Tian Hailong called a thin man in.
A group of people had question marks on their heads, and the person who came was actually Captain Pi Pidian from the Border Guards in the Linguan Mountains.
Ma Rujing's face looked like the little donkey Afanti was riding: "Why are you here!"
"The general will be working here."
"Nonsense!"
Ma Rujing was furious: "You are in charge of the Dongguan Army Guards. You come here to work. Who will be in charge of the 800 troops in the guard?"
"Brothers are also working here."
"What?" Ma Rujing puffed his beard and glared: "Pipidi, you have eaten the heart of a bear and become a leopard, but you actually..."
"Commander, don't be angry. The general will explain the whole story."
Lehehe Pipidi is also an experienced veteran. He has been in the border army for more than 20 years. When he came to the border, Ma Rujing was still scraping his eggs at the gate of Nanguan.
Moreover, Pi Pidi is a veteran on the battlefield. Although he is just a captain, he used to work with Qin Gang. In terms of qualifications, he is not much worse than Niu Ren, Yang Baobei and the others.
In addition, even though most of the guards at the Border Mountain Forest Guards under the command of Pi Dier are auxiliary soldiers, they are all real knives.
The first line of defense in the border mountains and forests is the military garrison here. Not to mention being beaten six times in five years, many of the old soldiers were injured and retired from other camps. Picking five people at random may not be able to get six arms.
"Commander, there are more and more people working in the southern suburbs. There are more people, and there are a lot of troubles. Master Chu asked Master Tao to manage these things. Master Tao is a literati, and a bunch of unscrupulous people don't understand."
According to the words, Master Tao will find some soldiers and servants to patrol inside and outside the city. Then General Mo will bring his brothers to work, and they will also be paid. In addition to patrolling, they will also contribute their energy in their free time."
"Who will patrol the mountains and forests?"
Pi Pei pointed his finger at Xiao Zhi and said: "Xiaoqiying."
"Xiaoqi Camp?"
Ma Rujing looked at his adopted son who was always bitching and was confused.
Xiao Zhi looked a little embarrassed: "In the battle in the border mountains and forests, the garrison guard lost more than ninety people. The general thought of moving the cavalry outside the pass to guard the mountains and forests. When encountering the enemy, he would have the cavalry to warn, so that the garrison guard could be repaired.
Some time.”
Ma Rujing had a strange look on his face.
In fact, logically speaking, the area at the entrance to the Border Mountain Forest is not large, and one hundred and eighty cavalry can patrol back and forth. However, the exit on this side of the mountain forest is relatively wide in comparison.
Therefore, cavalry should be used to guard the entrance to nip problems in the bud, rather than relying on infantry to patrol the mountains and forests.
It's just that there are very few war horses at the border, and the risks outside the border are also high. Pi Pidi mentioned this before, relying on Xiao Zhi, the commander of the Xiaoqi camp in Dongguan, not wanting to let his men suffer, so this matter caused Ma.
Ru Jingna, Comrade Lao Ma weighed it and finally found that it was more cost-effective to let the infantry guard.
As a result, this guy Xiao Zhi actually took over the defense of the border town and forest?
Ma Rujing frowned and looked at Xiao Zhi, who never wanted to suffer losses: "Why?"
Xiao Zhi blushed and said awkwardly: "Pao Ze's feelings are as they should be."
Ma Rujing asked again: "Why?"
"Well... the garrison guards are working hard day and night, and the Xiaoqi battalion has a lot of extra men, who can help..."
Ma Rujing interrupted coldly: "Do you believe that I broke your leg?"
Xiao Zhi shrank his neck and said: "Seven hundred people from the garrison and guard work, and 30% of their wages will go to the Xiaoqi camp."
"It's all fucking nonsense!"
Ma Rujing entered into a furious state again, roaring angrily.
