Chapter 64 Mo Daojun (Part 2)

In fact, with the Lingzhou craftsmen who came from Lingzhou to join Chen Ying, Shuozhou craftsmen and the eight powerful men, on the construction site in Shanglin, the number of civilians was close to the 5,000 mark. There were so many people together and even construction at the same time, which was impossible to easily see in Chang'an City.

Li Xiuning has seen such a situation. When the Women's Army was at its peak, it had more than 70,000 troops and more than 70,000 troops. The camp he built was a city, and it was much larger than an ordinary county town. The situation of the construction of more than 5,000 civilians and men was far from enough to shock Li Xiuning.

However, Li Xiuning also saw the difference. First of all, there were neat rows of houses, which were the temporary residence of craftsmen. This way of laying out rooms was like an Anza tent in the army, neatly, leaving a passageway. Moreover, while the craftsmen walked or worked, more than three people were lined up in a row. Although they were not like Chen Ying's Dingyuan army soldiers, they raised their legs and landed in an orderly manner, as if they were a shadow of using the army.

In fact, Chen Ying is indeed using militarization to manage civilians, because militarization can improve efficiency, and the chaos is invisible in the upper forest.

When Li Xiuning came to Chen Ying's fort, Li Xiuning was really shocked. Li Xiuning could see at a glance that Chen Ying built was not an ordinary manor, but a castle. Although the city was just formed at this time, the city wall could not be seen, but a towering city wall, but from the solid foundation, it can be seen that in this foundation specification, the city wall could be built to a height of more than three meters.

Chen Ying was still inspecting Mo Dao's progress in Tiefang, and Li Xiuning's arrival had to let Lan'er welcome Li Xiuning to the Iron and Steel Workshop directly. For Chen Ying, he had no secret that was worth keeping to Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning looked at Lan'er with beautiful eyes and looked beautiful. She was still dressed as a maid and felt curious. Why did Chen Ying keep entering Nalan'er?

Suddenly, Li Xiuning saw a huge pond covering an area of ​​more than 100 acres, with a black luster. Although it is winter now, you can still smell a strong stench. Li Xiuning asked curiously: "What is this?"

Lan'er said: "This is it. Langjun said that the crop harvest in the fields is too low because of insufficient fertility. Langjun collected weeds and animal manure and fermented fertilizer. Langjun said that if the fields that accumulate fertilizer are used, the yield per mu of land can be easily doubled."

“Double?”

Although Li Xiuning was the princess of the Tang Dynasty, she was not a flower in a greenhouse. She knew very well that people's livelihood accidents were very low in this era. In a bumper year, she only produced about two stones of grain. If it doubled, wouldn't it mean that three or four acres of grain could be used to support a person? You should know that although Guanzhong is known as 800 miles of fertile soil.

Lan'er said: "Reporting to the princess, I have never planted different lands. I heard from my husband that millet seeds are the same, and the original land is also adjacent. There is no difference between watering and weeding. The only difference is that the fertilizer used is different. Composting and fermenting are indeed more effective than fresh manure and urine!"

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "If it can really double, there is no need to double it. Even if you only need to collect three or five dou, I will definitely ask for a title for Chen Lang."

Food is the country's strategic resources. In later generations, due to the improvement of fertilizers and biotechnology, the yield per mu was extremely high, so China's grain could be completely self-sufficient. However, in this era, even the national strength of the Tang Dynasty would cause large-scale famine due to the famine. The people were displaced, and even fed each other, causing tragedy in human relations.

Lan'er smiled slightly and said with a very firm expression: "Langjun is the most knowledgeable person in the world. He said that if he can increase production, he will definitely increase production. This year, he bought land, and we will be able to harvest a lot of food next year..."

Li Xiuning is not Lan'er. Lan'er is very superstitious about Chen Ying, and even to the point of being paranoid. She believes in her eyes and judgment even more. As long as Chen Ying can really increase production of three or five dou of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty can collect more than five or six million stones of grain every year. The food can play a great role in the hands of the court.

Suddenly, Li Xiuning pointed to the busy man and asked, "Are these people Chen Lang's tenants?"

Lan'er shook her head and said, "That's not. These people are short-term workers recruited by the Langjun, and the craftsmen also came to join the Langjun from Lingzhou or Shuozhou. In fact, our Chen family has no tenants yet..."

"No tenant?" Li Xiuning was stunned when he heard this and asked in surprise: "If there are no tenant, what should I do next spring plowing? Are you busy?"

"Langjun said that people who want to farm and make a fortune are fools!" Lan'er laughed and said with a sneer: "Langjun said that the people he bought will be distributed to craftsmen with outstanding contributions in the future. Those craftsmen with outstanding contributions will not only reward dozens or hundreds of acres of land, but also divide houses. In the future, Chenjiazhuang will become Chenjia Town or Chenjiacheng."

Li Xiuning felt inexplicably irritated: "What a nonsense!"

Li Xiuning subconsciously felt that she had said the wrong thing. In her consciousness, Chen Ying should be hers. Chen Ying was so generous, she would definitely ruin her family business.

...

There was nothing to say along the way, Li Xiuning followed Lan'er to the Tiefang Office, but unexpectedly found that the Tiefang Office had the guards of the Eastern Palace Attorney Yusui guarded outside. Attorney Yusui was Li Jiancheng's personal bodyguard. Seeing Princess Pingyang's carriage arrive, she hurried forward to salute.

Before Li Xiuning entered the iron house, she saw Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying and dozens of others gathered together. Li Jiancheng said to Chen Ying: "No, it's too luxurious!"

What Li Jiancheng said makes sense, because Chen Ying actually wanted to use pineapple wood as the handle of the knives. Pineapple wood is a very expensive wood. The wood is tough, the wood grain is very straight, and it also has a faint fragrance. It is the best material for making longevity materials and pillars.

The key is that the hilt of the Modao requires too much. The hilt made of high manganese carbon steel has very strong hardness and is more tough than high carbon steel. A blade that is more than one foot and six feet long is installed with a hilt of more than six feet long. In battle, the hilt of the knife will probably be the hilt, not the original blade. If the losses in training are included, this is not a small number, not to mention a straight wood about six feet long, which is almost only a whole fruit pineapple.

The tree poles are suitable, and even the tree poles may not be suitable for each tree. (Customization began to be formed during the Tang Dynasty. The total length of the Modao in history was seven feet (one foot in the Tang Dynasty is about nine inches and three minutes, that is, 0.307 meters, seven feet is about 2.15 meters), the blade is three feet long, the handle is four feet long, and the weight is fifteen kilograms (equivalent to about 20 kilograms today). This book is not a real history, so some changes are made, please do not be serious about readers.)

Some pineapple trees are curved, some are insect-eaten, and some are cracked. I am afraid that all the pineapple trees near Chang'an may not be enough.

However, how Li Jiancheng opposed it, Chen Ying was determined to find only the right one. No matter what the price, Chen Ying thought it more clearly than Li Jiancheng. Modao is not something that everyone can play. Only strong warriors can wield Modao's hand. The Tang army's army's soldiers were about 400,000, of which Modao's soldiers were only 5,000.

It can be said that every soldier of the Modao Army was one of the best men in the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Jiancheng didn't know that the moment he saw Mo Dao, he became obsessed with this weapon. At this time, Chen Ying had more than fifty Mo Dao knives, and Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to see the effect of the Mo Dao Jun.

Chen Ying selected fifty strong men over eight feet tall from the left and right guards of the Eastern Palace prince, wearing bright light armor, holding a modao, and standing in a array.

Mo Dao is worthy of being the king of swords. Although it is only a small formation of fifty people, fifty Mo Dao is lined up in a row, which is quite powerful.

Chen Ying said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, do you want to see the effect?"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Li Xiuning, who was standing in the outer circle, did not show up at all, and she also wanted to see what Chen Ying was doing.

It was not long, and fifty big pigs weighing more than 200 pounds were put on leather or iron armor one by one. The pigs in their armor looked very funny, and Li Xiuning couldn't help laughing.

Just then, Chen Ying turned around and saw Li Xiuning.

Chen Ying was overjoyed. He shouted at the fifty Mo Dao Hands: "Prepare, get the knife!"

Fifty Mo swords were raised neatly, and the Mo sword, which was as cold as a mirror, slashed down neatly. Once the Mo sword came out, who would compete with him?

"Puchi phuchi..."

Even the screams did not sound. Fifty pigs, pigs and armor, were shattered by Mo Dao.

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

Li Xiuning was stunned.
