Chapter 712 The Dream of Moving Forward!
Chapter 712
"Master Hou is amazing, now our matter of Zhengshou is no problem at all."
In the square, Li Siye, who was more than two meters tall and looked like a giant, was sitting beside Wang Chong. Looking at the blazing bonfire in front of him and the scene of laughter and laughter, he suddenly lowered his voice. For Wang Chong, he was truly convinced at this moment.
How powerful Wushang is, he has personally experienced it. Even if he went on the field in person and used the Wuzi steel giant sword, he still couldn't beat Wushangren. In fact, no matter how powerful it is, it may be difficult to conquer Wushangren.
The strength of these people can no longer be described by a village, a clan, or a tribe.
However, Li Siye did not expect that after Wang Chong arrived, he would be able to solve the problem that he had spent so long and so much effort on. Thinking about it, the patriarch of Wushang Village had already stepped forward and personally rejected Wang Chong.
But at the next moment, they turned around. Not only did they agree to Wang Chongzheng's request, but the two sides also got along with each other, watching the bonfire, eating a large piece of meat, and drinking a large bowl of wine. It's incredible to think about it.
The more he got in touch with Wang Chong, the more Li Siye felt all kinds of inconceivable things about Wang Chong.
There seems to be no problem in this world that he can't solve. This is true for the Southwest War, and it is also true for Wushang Village. His ability seems to have no limit. Li Siye really couldn't think of what kind of difficulties in this world could really stump him.
Of course, what convinced Li Siye the most was that Wang Chong asked someone to bring these ingredients for this operation.
"...It is really wise for Master Hou to ask someone to bring these foods. I feel now that these chickens, ducks, fish, and beef and mutton are probably more effective than what we did last night!"
Li Siye said sincerely.
The breadth of Wang Chong's thinking is always beyond the imagination of others. For example, the plague spread on the Uzbek Plateau, for example, the granary that Mengshe lost at the last moment of the Southwest War, and for example, Wang Chongzheng, who brought so many chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, and mutton to the villagers of Wushang Village... …
These seemingly useless or insignificant actions were not unexpected at the time, but only after everything was over, did they realize how deep, how wide, and how deep Wang Chong's thinking behind these ordinary actions was. It makes people more and more body-focused and willing to follow.
Wang Chong just smiled lightly and didn't say much.
"When things here are over,
I will go to the city of steel. I will leave the matter of Wushang Village to you. In addition, I have already arranged manpower, and a large amount of food will be sent to Wushang Village in the future. There are 50,000 to 60,000 Wushang people, and our food alone is not enough! "
"I will understand in the end! I will definitely complete this matter beautifully."
Li Siye said respectfully.
"Oh, that's fine."
Wang Chong smiled, patted Li Siye on the shoulder, and drank the low-grade "Bamboo Forest Small Building" in the bowl. Then, under Li Siye's surprised gaze, he put down the wine bowl and walked towards the edge of the square, where a bonfire was shining brightly. Go to a slightly dark place.
There, a rock-like figure stood there, as majestic as a mountain, silently guarding in the darkness.
"What's the name of a strong man?"
Wang Chong smiled.
In the darkness, the rock-like, burly figure glanced at Wang Chong in surprise, and quickly looked away. After a long time, I heard a muffled voice:
"Cui Piaoqi!"
"Cui Biaoqi, what a name! Are you drinking?"
"Sorry, it's my duty, I can't drink."
"Hehe, good! It's true that you can't drink alcohol because of your duty. But you can't drink it now, it doesn't mean you can't drink it at other times. This is a jar of wine I brought from outside, please accept it."
"this……"
In the darkness, the burly figure finally raised his head, looking at the young man in front of him with some surprise, as if he was a little confused, why did he come to him with so many people in Wushang Village, and why did he give him a jar of wine.
"Hehe, accept this jar of wine, and I won't bother you anymore."
Seeing that the man seemed to be resisting, Wang Chong finally said.
"All right!"
The man responded in a muffled voice, and finally took the wine jar from Wang Chong's hand. The moment he lowered his head, by the afterglow of the bonfire in the square, a few large characters were clearly written on the gray-brown wine jar. :
"Bawanglie"!
The man raised his head, finally showing a look of surprise in his eyes. However, Wang Chong had already turned around with a relaxed expression on his face, and walked towards the distance. At that moment, no one knew that a complicated expression flashed in Wang Chong's eyes.
Some people can start all over again, but some things can never go back after all!
In the past, you and I were indifferent to life and death, riding together on the broken land, fighting north and south, defending the common people, and being as close as brothers. But now you and I are strangers to each other. I know you, but you don't remember me...
That altar of wine used to be our favorite liquor in the past, and it should be regarded as a memorial to our friendship in the past.
Time has changed, and although everything can’t go back, after all, our dreams are still connected, and that’s enough.
Thinking like this, Wang Chong quickly left Wushang Village.
...
Starting from Wushang Village, going west, about seventy or eighty miles away, is the area of Wang Chong's fiefdom. At this moment, here, is another scene in full swing.
"Pendant, pendant!"
"Be careful, pay attention to the structure between all parts and parts, and the size of all things must be modeled, so you don't make a mistake!"
"Raise it a little higher, raise it a little higher! Be careful to align the steel city walls on the second floor, and make sure they don't fall down, leaving gaps!"
"The eastern city wall has been built, and all the joints have been fitted. Attention all craftsmen, start pouring molten iron for reinforcement!"
"Pay attention to the ladder tower, the steel city wall is very heavy, reinforce it all for me!"
"The artisans of the second, third, fourth, and fifth groups are ready to rest, and the craftsmen of the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth groups are ready to go to the tower! Hurry up, hurry up and take turns to rest !"
...
At this moment, the city of steel has gathered more than 50,000 strong and strong craftsmen from various places in the Tang Dynasty, various families, and folks. to work.
The scope of Wang Chong's fief is very large, and because it is a relatively remote place on the Northwest Silk Road. So after the Ministry of Households asked for instructions, they made an exception and increased Wang Chong's fief several times. Anyway, it is a barren land with no one on its back. If Wang Chong can really do it, it will be good for the entire court and empire.
Because it can make the entire empire more prosperous, not to mention, what Wang Chong earns is the money of barbarians.
And Wang Chong was not too polite, he got the advantage and expanded the city to its maximum.
The current city is more than ten times larger than the Lion City by the Erhai Lake. And the construction of this city requires a lot of manpower. The 50,000 strong craftsmen are only the first wave, and the second wave of 50,000 craftsmen is on their way to the city of steel. In the future, there will be more The third dial, the fourth dial...
Just to ensure the daily diet, accommodation and rest of these people, the logistics population reached more than 30,000.
Adding in the caravans transporting timber, steel and other construction materials, the guards, and other miscellaneous people, there are now more than 100,000 people in the Steel City. Such a huge number, just how to organize and arrange it is already a huge project, not ordinary people, ordinary forces can control it.
But the current Steel City is in perfect order. All the craftsmen, logistics, guards, transportation teams... Nearly 100,000 people worked together, like a set of precision instruments, running non-stop, helping to build this miraculous steel city together.
Although the current "Steel City" is still under construction, it has undoubtedly become a legend in the artisan world, attracting the attention of all artisans in the world. There are even many people who have traveled thousands of miles and volunteered to join, hoping to leave their own sweat and footprints in this legendary city of steel.
Brand your name into this city.
There is nothing more proud of being a craftsman.
"Master Hou, all the materials for the early stage have arrived. The sword-making families in the capital and various states in the Tang Dynasty are also fully activated to help build the steel modules we need. There are at least tens of thousands of sword towers and sword shops in the city. Help us forge fine iron and build steel modules. In addition, I have sent people to enter various sword buildings, sword shops, and swordsmith families to control the casting quality of refined iron. The city of steel is no small matter, and I don’t want any The slip."
On the busy wall of the City of Steel, Zhang Shouzhi and Wang Chong stood side by side, talking freely. He has great expectations and enthusiasm for this city of steel.
During this time, Zhang Shouzhi was in Wushang almost day and night, and he didn't feel tired at all.
"It's been hard work for you during this time, but things in the City of Steel must be accelerated. There are many nights and dreams, and the terrain here is complicated. Only by building the city as quickly as possible can we gain a firm foothold here."
With his hands behind his back, Wang Chong walked on the city wall while talking to Zhang Shouzhi.
"Understood. During this period of time, several groups of people have come to spy, day and night. I have ordered the guards to step up their patrols and expand the guard circle as much as possible to prevent them from approaching."
Zhang Shouzhi said in a deep voice.
"Crazy!"
While the two were talking, a high-pitched and sharp voice suddenly came from the air, which was particularly ear-piercing in the fervent steel city. Wang Chong and Zhang Shouzhi raised their heads, and saw deep in the sky, under the clouds, a tiny black spot was spreading its wings, hovering over the city of steel, circle after circle.
And the eyes moved up, above the tiny black dot, there were more black dots hovering above the city of steel:
"cracking!"
One after another, endlessly, each call is also different.
And if you count them carefully, there are as many as sixty or seventy birds of various types scouting in the sky. Wang Chong could distinguish the rock eagles of the Western Regions, the hunting eagles of the Turks, the Haidongqing of the Goguryeo people, the vultures of the Tibetans of Uzbekistan, and even the storks of the Mengshezhao people.
