The thirteenth day of the first lunar month of the 15th year of the Xiantong period of the Tang Dynasty was the coldest time of the year. After two more deaths, it would be the most lively Chinese New Year festival in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing sent Zhang Shouqian to lead a team of servants to Dengzhou Port to pick up Sanyao's incoming. The Ninghai, which could carry 800 incoming at a time, ran ten consecutive trips, and finally brought all the soldiers and families brought by Lin Wu to Shamen Island.

By the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, all the soldiers and families who moved to Shamen Island had arrived. As of the final statistics, this group of newly arrived plus the first group of people. Shamen Town under Li Jing now has three capitals and six teams of war soldiers, three hundred battle soldiers, and another 12 officers, and four hundred officers. Li Jing's family team, one capital and two teams, one hundred servants, and forty officers, and one hundred and four hundred and four hundred. Lin Wei, Lin Wu, and Wang Chong each have one team of servants, and four hundred and two. In fact, the officers have no homes, and the town soldiers and servants have a total of nine hundred and sixty.

In addition, the auxiliary soldiers were also equipped with three capitals and six teams, with 300 soldiers and 12 auxiliary soldiers, totaling 42. The remaining logistics soldiers were established with 5 capitals and 500 logistics soldiers and 200 logistics officers, totaling 700 auxiliary soldiers and 1,120 logistics soldiers.

The war soldiers, servants, auxiliary soldiers and logistics soldiers added together and suddenly they entered 2,180, far exceeding the 1,200 scale when they were in Wangli Village.

The sudden expansion was mainly what Li Jing meant. After arriving at Shaman Island, he had some new understanding of the new situation.

There were many entrances to Shaman Island this time, which even exceeded Li Jing's expectations. The 1,200 soldiers originally recruited, plus nearly 100 craftsmen, each of their families was more than four or five, and the average family of each soldier was about five. After all, the entrances to Shaman Island were moved, the final statistics showed that the entry number exceeded the 6,000 mark.

Among these six thousand entrances, nearly half of men over the age of sixty and under the age of sixty accounted for nearly half, 2933 enrollment. Young and strong women also accounted for about one-third, reaching one-third, reaching one-eight hundred and sixty. In addition, the elderly people over the age of sixty also reached more than five hundred, and the remaining ones under the age of sixty, more than eight hundred young girls over the age of eight, and about two hundred young girls under the age of eight.

So many entry was beyond Li Jing's expectations. Many of them were in the army. After the whole family and the whole family came with them. After entering, Li Jing could not drive them back. With so many entry, Li Jing had basically distributed the land on the island to the officers' families, and the remaining half had to be kept for rewards. With so many entry, Li Jing could not have been in vain.

In the end, Qian Qian picked up another group of strong men from it, expanded the number of troops on the island, and directly expanded the army that was originally 1,200 to 2,180. However, the newly expanded were basically incorporated into the logistics team and auxiliary team, which did not affect the original organization and combat effectiveness. Basically, Li Jing organized all young and strong men over the age of 20 into the team.

A large number of men were expanded into the army, and there were still thousands of women and children. Although these people could not join the army, Li Jing did not intend to leave them idle. With the full support of Li Jing, Li Huier's bedding workshop was the first to reopen and expanded its scale. The bedding workshop recruited a total of 500 skilled women from the soldiers' families at one time, and one-quarter of the women had a job at once.

For the rest, Li Jing recruited all the craftsmen and started to resume work in several fortresses. Among them, several workshops such as the Blacksmith House and the Carpenter House began to recruit some young men as apprentices to start work.

Taking advantage of the lack of rain at this time, Li Jing was ready to use this sufficient effort to start building a city plan.

These people, Zhang Hong, Sun Deyan, Du Zhongwu, Cui Zhiyuan and others, frequently traveled to Dengzhou and Shamen Island, recruiting various craftsmen and experienced city-building masters everywhere. Until now, there have been dozens of craftsmen in Li Jing's town general's mansion.

These are all experienced craftsmen. Now that this year is in a downturn, even experienced craftsmen will not be easy to live. Li Jing asked them out of the city to build a city, and the conditions offered were quite good. According to the service years of these craftsmen, they were directly classified as six levels, with ten years of service as the first level. Even the lowest level six craftsmen had a wage of 400 cigarettes per ri, with each upgrade of 100 cigarettes. The highest seven or eight first-class craftsmen had a wage of 1,000 cigarettes per ri. In addition, food and accommodation were all included, and according to the level, the craftsmen also added food.

Four hundred essays are aborted by one thousand essays. This treatment is not bad. Those craftsmen are happy and sigh that they are in the New Year's fortune.

The eight first-class craftsmen who always earn a salary are all white-bearded old men, one by one, but they are old. However, they have experienced and qualified. Anyone who has been presided over the construction of a certain fortress in XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This time, eight old craftsmen were found at once, just to be on the safe side.

The Eight Craftsmen and the other two have been inspected on Shamen Island many times, and finally they all proposed to expand the construction of a new city on the basis of 1ri City. Building a small city with a circumference of about one mile is a familiar matter for them. If it were not for the sake of money, such things would be left directly to their disciples. The Eight Enters the Ninth City have handed over their layout drawings of Baishao New City. In general, the New City is a square and defensive castle, with about 300 steps on each side and a circumference of 1,200 steps, which is much larger than the current 1ri City.

The city is also divided into military camps, underground districts, family residential areas, and commercial urban areas. Then some public facilities, such as the Dragon King Temple in the East China Sea, Wusheng Temple, Confucius Temple, Haoyao God Temple, Buddhist Temple, Taoist Temple, etc.

The most important thing is the city wall. The city wall of the new city makes the city three meters high, four gates in the southeast, west and north, and one urn city is built each. Outside the city, a moat has to be dug. An arrow tower and a city tower have to be built on the city. In short, for the design of this new city, several craftsmen have chosen the most expensive plan and the most defensive plan.

Li Jing agreed with the ideas of these craftsmen. The first thing to do is to build a new city is that the original 1ri city is too dilapidated and too narrow, and the second thing is that the defense is not high, and there is basically no defense. The city walls are not higher than the first entry height, there are no urns or moats, and the city is too narrow and the layout is not reasonable. However, since you have to spend a lot of money to build the new city, Li Jing plans to build the best one if you want to.

Li Jing made some suggestions, mainly two aspects. In terms of the city, the streets should be widened, at least one meter wide. In addition, several public facilities such as schools, bathhouses, wells, stages, public toilets, etc., and in particular, a smooth drainage channel for the city's sewage is built. These are mainly to strengthen sanitation, with the purpose of preventing plague and other diseases due to harsh sanitation environment.

As for the city wall, Li Jing meant to build the city wall into a prism-shaped wall.

A group of white-bearded craftsmen looked at the drawing taken out by Li Jing, looked at the fortress with a long time, staring at the crown-like fortress, and said in surprise: "General, if you build it according to this drawing, your defense has indeed improved a lot, especially the archers and crossbow beds have basically no blind spots to attack. But has the general calculated the cost of such a fortress? I only made a rough calculation that this cost is at least three times more than an ordinary city wall, and the construction period will be extended by more than twice as long."

The drawings that Li Jing took out were exactly a ridge chart, and it was also a Crown Fort drawing. The ridge, a product evolved from later castles for defense. Its essence is to turn the city block from a convex polygon into a concave polygon. This improvement makes it possible that no matter how the attacking castle, the attacking party will expose the attacking party to more than one ridge surface, usually 2-3. The defense party can use cross firepower to perform multiple strikes.

A Crown Fort can last for at least one month in a comparison of one-on-seven defensive offense. This is the terrifying defense of the bastion. Compared with the square walls, it not only has strong defensive ability, but also has stronger defensive counterattack ability. If you want to flatten such a fortress, the price of the enemy entering and losing is terrible.

But the same is true, the super defense also represents a very high cost.

According to the calculation of several craftsmen's heads, such as the originally planned city wall of three zhang and three heights, each step of construction will cost at least ten cents. The original plan to build 1,200 steps will cost 12,000 cents of money, and four Weng City will have to be built, each of which will cost at least two thousand cents of money. The moat, the arrow tower, and the city gate tower will have to be built. In addition, several newly-regulated yard areas in the city, as well as newly-digged ditches, wells, toilets, schools, bathhouses, stages, Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, etc., all of which will be added together will cost at least 30,000 cents of money, which does not include newly built houses.

Thirty thousand guan is just a calculation of materials and other money. In addition, the wages for the work and the food consumption of craftsmen are not included.

Now if Li Jing insists on building the Crown Fort, the calculated cost will be at least 50,000 jin, and the construction period will have to be doubled.

50,000 guan o, Li Jing's previous son did have 50,000 guan, but he had already paid 40,000 guan of equipment, and now he added less than 20,000 guan. In addition, there is only more than 10,000 guan of grain left, which can be worth 50,000 guan, but Li Jing would not use this batch of grain even if he killed him.

This money is like flowing water, why are you short of money everywhere?
