Chapter 218 Corv¨¦e (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    People in the Shanhai Age had already learned to build solid cities with boulders and loess. This behavior had begun as early as the Shennong period. Regardless of whether it was Dongyi, Baiyue, or the Central Plains, wherever civilizations prospered, there were  A huge, solid city stands tall.

    However, although the city is solid, it also needs the cooperation of the checkpoint fortress.

    Xunshan decided to build a huge pass, and building a city in the south is obviously out of date, because if Sanmiao really breaks through, they can roam the wilds in the whole south, and the tribes live very scatteredly. Where should the city be built?  It is unrealistic how to repair Sanmiao's main offensive line to the maximum extent.

    Because the city and the fortress are still different, first of all, their responsibilities are different. One is for life, and the other is for combat. For example, in Jili Kingdom, they can build the city beside the mountain. Baiyue and the Central Plains can also do the same. Then  It is because those big cities are the gathering places of a large number of tribes.

    But in the southern wilds, the tribal settlements are very scattered. There are some near Nanqiu, some in the Three Mountains and Four Fields, some in Jinqiu, some in Zhuyu Mountain, some in Changpu Lake, some in Changfeng Field, and then Chaisang,  Xunshan, Mangman, and the Sheqiu where the Mohong family lived, if the Diyou family is to be counted, it must extend to the edge of Lingnan.

    The range is too large and the cost of defense is too high.

    It's better to build a giant pass.

    "Hey, the danger is high!"

    Xiashan and Jiucangshan connect many mountains, forming a tall and majestic mountain network, covering and stretching to the edge of the river, blocking the extension of the northern land, and also sheltering the wilds in the south.

    Xiushui flows here. Although the water flow is not too fast, compared with Sanyu and Chehe, the width of this Xiushui is even wider.

    Soldiers work here.

    The various tribes began to mobilize manpower, and Xunshan had already issued an order. This was the first major corvee enlisted in several years.

    The wizards are paid to study the guard weapons, but they are not paid for the collection of corvees, and all tribes must obey. In this regard, all tribes are equal in front of the big corvee.

    This is the case in the Central Plains, the case in Dongyi, and the case in Baiyue.

    The same is true from the west to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

    Even the Youdu in the north will have submissive "obedience tasks".

    This is indeed a heavy burden imposed on the people by the "country" or "ruling class".

    But then again, can some corvee workers, such as the Great Wall, not be built?

    If there is no Great Wall as a front-line supply line, how can the Qin army defeat the Huns for more than 700 miles?

    However, the Great Wall recruited a lot of people. Although there was no story about Meng Jiangnu at that time, there is still a saying among the people!

    "If you give birth to a boy, be careful not to lift it up, and if you give birth to a daughter, you can feed it with breasts. If you don't see the Great Wall, the corpses will stand on each other!"

    Some corvees are indeed taken too hastily, such as the Grand Canal. Although Yang Guang is said to be a sin in the present age, and a meritorious service in the future, but in general, it is still more than merit.  The resentment started from the first emperor, and the chaos of the Sui Dynasty came from Yang Guang.

    This is the scourge of knocking on wonders. In the classical era, knocking on wonders was a long process. After the construction is completed, everyone will naturally have a sense of pride, but if it is too hasty, it will be counterproductive.

    One more thing, that's what spectacle does.

    If you want the people to be willing to give you a spectacle, then this spectacle must have its "contemporary meaning" of existence.

    "Zai, on the northeast side of Xiashan Mountain, there is a huge stone vein. After the rammed earth foundation is completed"

    The speaker is the Great Wizard of Chaisang Mountain.

    After discussing this giant level with several big bosses, it was decided to adopt the stone-covered soil construction method mentioned before.

    For city walls built with stones, any city wall built with stones should be in areas with more square stones, such as the Taihang Mountains and Baiyue, where there are more stones, so stone walls are built thereespecially Haiphong City built in coastal areas,  During the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even at the end of the Song Dynasty, cities were built with stone materials.

    To build a city with stones, the inside of the city wall is also built with earthen walls first, and then stone strips or stones are tightly pasted from both sides of the earthen wall.

    Among the Shanhai tribe, it is difficult to find a carpenter, but if you want to find a junior mason who cuts mountains to open a road and breaks big rocks in his chest, it is really hard to find. On average, everyone basically knows how to open stones with both hands.

    You don't need to make a square look so beautiful, if it doesn't work, just knock some edges and corners and paste it with mirage ash.

    "Northeast of Xiashan Mountain""Did a big stone mine appear?"  Good thing, there are indeed many stone veins in the mountainous area, but in the northeast, transportation is a problem"

    "It takes a few hills to climb."

    You are facing a problem again. It is okay to transport rock salt by ox carts and small carts, but when it comes to transporting large stones, it is reasonable. Whether it is ancient mountains and seas, ancient Babylon, or ancient Egypt, basically all of them use the kind of original logs.  car.

    Because although that thing is not easy to exercise, it takes a lot of effort to pull it, but it bears a lot of weight.

    "Things that run fast are generally not big, and things that are big generally cannot run at high speed. There is still a gap between agile heroes and tank heroes. If tanks run as fast as assassins, then why do you need assassins?"

    The crane is not easy to use on this mountain, after all, this is the original crane, there are still many restrictions on the use of the tread wheel crane, and Danzhu is now asking a group of people to work on the second test model, which makes the development speed of the bed crossbow  Slow down.

    However, I heard that there is a carpenter named Chao An who is very capable in making bed crossbows.

    Is it really necessary to rely on the stupid method of carrying people on shoulders?

    "It would be great if there were giants"

    Šu Zai felt a little emotional at this time, if there are giants here, whether it is from the Daren Kingdom, the Great Qin Kingdom, or the Longbo Kingdomif there are giants to help, then these hills will no longer be an obstacle.

    If there are giants, you can easily cut down the giant trees on the mountain and build them into a strong primitive bridge.

    The Great Wizard of Chaisang Mountain also said that this is the case. If there are giants to help, then this kind of thing will be much simpler. Although the Great Wizard is powerful, he is not to the point where he can move mountains and seas. They are all ancient gods.  the power of.

    There are specialties in the art industry. Don't look at some people who don't know anything. They also know the ability to move mountains and seas. They are born civil engineering foremen.

    Yan Zai gritted his teeth and told the great wizard of Chaisang Mountain that he would hold a mobilization meeting.

    For this matter, no one can rely on it now, but the human race itself. The vast mountains are here. Can this place be built

    No one can help them

    The great wizard seemed to sense something, and nodded without saying much.
