Chapter 484 Repair Beacon Tower?

Chapter 484 Repair Beacon Tower?

As we go further north, there are more and more crop fields, because this has entered the boundary of the new third district.

The new third district was originally planned to be a hundred miles away, but looking at it now, it is at least a hundred miles away.

In the whole area, there is an official road leading directly to the county town.

The official road is made of cement. This thing is easy to make. After it is done, it dries quickly. Once it is dry, you can leave immediately. It is flat and clean, and it is not muddy on rainy days.

Cheng Yaojin had only heard of cement in the past, but cement was not widely spread in Chang'an City. The specific reason was naturally related to the fact that Chang'an City was the ancient capital of several dynasties.This ancient capital of several dynasties cannot be moved easily.Let alone cement, or any other new thing, if it affects the ancient capital itself, some people will stop it.But outside of Chang'an City, there is a cement road that continues to extend, but at that time, Cheng Yaojin didn't really care about it, so he didn't know what the concrete was about.

Until the last few months, he and his son assisted King Youzhou in building the new third district.

Although he brought soldiers to Youzhou to station, but since the king of Youzhou divided them into the new third district, if this is the home of the soldiers in the future, then the construction of the new third district is not just a matter of ordinary people , if it’s everyone’s business.

In this case, the raw materials for the cement were transported over. Once they were made, Cheng Yaojin witnessed with his own eyes how the cement was spread, how it dried, and how easy it was to use after drying.

When Qin Yang was walking towards the new third district in a carriage, Cheng Yaojin was talking to his son about it: "Hi! Tell me, why haven't such good things been used in Chang'an City!"

Cheng Chumo looked at his father's angry face, but knew that his father didn't need his comfort, he was just complaining.

He listened in silence, interjecting a few words now and then.

"Well, yes, if you use it on the road, wouldn't it be cleaner and tidy than the loess road?"

"Yes, but at least when we left, we had already started to reinforce the city wall with cement."

Cheng Yaojin also noticed what Cheng Chumo said.

As a person, he may not care much about things that have nothing to do with him, but when it comes to things like the city wall, he, a prince who was born as a general, has always been very keen.

When he left, the city guards seemed to be busy with something, so they were busy cementing the city wall?
He nodded and said, "If it can be like this, that's fine."

The reinforcement of the city wall is very important to the border cities, and it is equally important to Chang'an.

However, it is really not that important for Chang'an to use this thing. Right now, cement is used in the new third district, and it is used wisely.

"When the new third district is completed, we should build more watchtowers. I think the watchtowers at the ranch are well built." Cheng Yaojin said again.

Cheng Chumo still nodded: "My son also thinks that the watchtower is well built."

"My son thinks that we can imitate the beacon towers in ancient times and build one every ten miles. If something happens, we can light the beacon fire to warn."

Cheng Yaojin sighed: "The warning is clearer at night, but it may not be visible during the day."

This is true, but other than that, what else can be done?
The father and son looked at each other, suddenly feeling uninterested.

The new third district is well built. If there is no better way to defend, this place is still in danger all the time.

It's okay for the garrison to be here now, but this model cannot be promoted.

Even if it is really possible to defend the new third district, it will only rely on military strength.

While the two were talking, someone hurried in and knelt down to report: "Report! Your Majesty has arrived in the New Third District by car. He is only ten miles away from the main tent!"

"Oh? Your Majesty is here?" Cheng Yaojin immediately got up and signaled Cheng Chumo to greet him immediately.

"Your Majesty didn't say why you came here this time?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

Hearing the negative answer, Cheng Yaojin went out, got on his horse, and ordered someone to follow him to greet him. He was thinking, most likely, the king is here to inspect the construction of the new third district, right?
Although it is still a little short of the success of construction, it is indeed in its infancy.

Moreover, the crops previously planted in the New Third District have already received their first wave of harvest.

He and Cheng Chumo went out to greet them. This formation naturally attracted the attention of the people who were harvesting crops by the roadside.

Watching a group of people gallop away, several farmers gathered together to talk.

"What's going on here?"

"With tens of thousands of troops stationed here, what could happen?"

"That's right, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed here! And the Duke is the founding father of the country, and he is a lucky general alive! With the Duke stationed here, our new third district is as stable as gold!"

"Yo! I haven't seen you for a day, and you still dragged the text?" The people around were surprised to see the person who said the idiom "steady as gold soup", and exclaimed.

The man said with a smile: "Isn't that my boy studying with Mr. He always talks about it when he comes back, and sometimes I listen to it, so naturally I remember it!"

"Then you are really amazing, my kid will talk about it when he comes back, but I can't remember it!"

"You said, if it was half a year ago, who would have thought that we people would still have the status of good citizens, own our own land, and our children would be sent to school!" The few people in front were laughing. Suddenly, another person said.

What he said made everyone present stunned.

Yes, it is true.

Half a year ago, they were all black slaves of the Boling Cui family.

Or the ancestors took the initiative to join in order to avoid cruel officials, or the ancestors were forced to join, but in their generation, they are slaves from birth, or slaves who have no status and can't make a splash even after death.

They thought that their life was going to be like this, and they thought that their descendants would not be able to escape the fate of being slaves, but in the end, they were driven to the new third district in a daze!

In the beginning, they were indeed terrified!
They felt that they were bound to die of exhaustion here, and even their master, the Boling Cui Clan, was finished. Wouldn't they, the slaves of the Boling Cui Clan, be treated as hard labor and beaten to death alive?
It's fine for them to die, but their family members, their wives and children, were all driven here!
Open up wasteland here!
Land reclamation, just hearing these two words makes people panic!
They are afraid of opening up wasteland!
Fear is not land reclamation itself, but the blood behind the word land reclamation!
But since they were walking on the road and the first meal was distributed to them by the army leading them, the hopeless atmosphere that had been permeating the team began to dissipate just like that.

The person who thought he was going to die actually ate his first bite of meat on the way!
