The people of the Central Plains have always had demand for city walls, and even said it too much. If the country left it alone in the future, those who had money to build a manor would definitely be willing to build another thick high wall that could block tanks. However, this is not something that the country does not allow it to do, and it is indeed a bit too much to do so, so no one does this.

Otherwise, if you really let it go, almost any wall repair can be done by default.

As an ancient man, if he had the opportunity to build a city wall, he would naturally build it. In the past, Han laws stipulated that this thing could not be built casually. However, after Chen Xi came up, he thought that the country would be prosperous and the people would not become the support of the rebels. On the contrary, if the country was really in turmoil, the city wall could provide some protection for the people.

Therefore, this law was deleted by Chen Xi. After reporting the villages and large factories, they can build city walls after reporting the city walls. However, Chen Xi would not allocate money to build the city walls. The city walls were built by self-financing and locals worked on their own.

However, even if Chen Xi does not pay, many people in the north will try to accumulate a circle of city walls outside the village after they merge with villages. After all, people who have experienced turmoil have a considerable understanding of the solidity of the city walls and hope that their places to live are safer.

At this time at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was the most prosperous place in the world like Chang'an City. If you go out of the city fifty miles, you will be taken away by a tiger. Therefore, it is safer to build a circle of city walls than to close the doors and close the doors.

However, most of the city walls are built with rammed earth. For example, the city walls with stone bricks on the outside and rammed earth on the inside are very rare. In the past, the city walls that belonged to county towns were enough to show the local living standards.

"I remember I was the chief of the Sanzhai Village, and this kind of thing was done quite well." Chen Xi looked around and then landed on the father-in-law who was being supported by the young man in the distance.

The head of the office is probably the smallest official position now. In the Han Dynasty, except Liangzhou and Yangzhou, there were about 8,000 to 10,000 households under the command of a normal county magistrate. Of course, it could reach 20,000 to 30,000 households in densely populated areas, but it was basically around 10,000 households, not too many, nor too few.

After Chen Xiji Village merged with the village, most of them were families with four or five households. Five or six hundred households were gathered together, and then arranged three villages as font shapes to place a chief officer.

Basically, there are four or five officials under a county. Each of these people is in charge of three villages. While the county magistrate manages these people, he will manage the county town well. This is roughly distributed.

Therefore, the chief officer is considered the lowest-level official now. As for the village chiefs of each village, they are generally resettled grassroots officers who have been retired, and are basically not officials.

These retired officers may not be able to handle the trivial matters in the village, but these people can keep the ground, and these people can also manage the militia well and know how to practice. In Liu Bei's words, they can suppress the entire village, so the rest can be handled by the others. By the way, these village chiefs are the only militia who retains strong crossbows, plate armor, and shields.

In fact, the current situation in the Han Dynasty has destroyed a lot of ancient systems. Although the management of armor is still quite strict, it is no longer the same situation that private ownership is not allowed. It can only be said that plate armor, shields, and powerful crossbows are not inferior to those owned by the people, and each one is registered and booked.

As for other chain armors, chain armors can be obtained by militia, and leather armor and cloth armor can be purchased as long as you have money. Of course, even leather armor is extremely expensive to manufacture with the skills of ordinary workshops, and is not affordable to ordinary people.

So much so that most of the equipment circulating in the market now is the equipment that Chen Xi retired in the early years.

By the way, it is precisely because of this system that Liu Bei basically knew the village chiefs arranged in advance, and even if they didn’t know them, they also knew them later.

"It's not just good. Sometimes your request is really only possible for you to achieve," Liu Bei said with a smile, and then took Chen Xi to the village with a big stride. When passing by his father-in-law, the two of them greeted him.

"Brother Liu, thank you for the medicine you brought last time, otherwise I wouldn't have passed this winter!" My father-in-law excitedly gave Liu Bei a gift when he saw Liu Bei, but he didn't seem to know Liu Bei's true identity.

"Haha, just be fine if you recover. This is my cousin Chen Changwen, this is Li Laosi from the west. The situation looks much better now." Liu Bei patted Chen Xi's shoulder, and Chen Xi glanced at Liu Bei obscurely, and then smiled and saluted the frosty little old man.

"Call Uncle Chen." Li Laosi kicked his son, and his son obediently called Chen Xi, and Chen Xi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Then he saw that the other party gave Liu Bei another gift to thank Liu Bei for the herbs he brought back before.

"Ah, no need, it's not worth much. In fact, you can pick all herbs yourself, but I just didn't know how to cure the disease." Liu Bei waved his hand and refused the other party's thank-you gift.

"This kid is not sensible at all. It's good that Brother Liu is back. There's bacon at home. I'll make bacon and braised radish at noon. Brother Liu remembers to come and eat it." Old man Li cursed at his son again, and then dragged Liu Bei to his house.

However, Liu Bei finally refused to go to Old Man Li's house for a meal.

"The old man Li just now, who escaped from Nanyang a few years ago, will forge it well. He used to fight the farm tools in this village, but it has not been possible in the past two years." Liu Bei said while walking.

"Ha? My pot? No, right?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and said.

Craftsmen can't be hungry. Although Chen Xi's smelter has produced agricultural tools on a large scale in the past two years and has lowered prices, the blacksmiths in the wild will not be able to survive. Not to mention that these people have more iron tools to repair, more importantly, as long as they are registered craftsmen, Chen Xi has always arranged for them to live.

Since these wild craftsmen are not suitable for large-scale survival, I will send you standard pieces. You rub the standard pieces for me, and I will give you the salary for one.

This is the reason why Xiangli’s milling machines contributed last year have been created this year. Isn’t this the reason why it drives large-scale production standard equipment by relying on the Yellow River hydraulic power?

The accessories are worn and drizzling, and if there is a problem, it is just to change the accessories directly. There are so many standard pieces. Isn’t it just rubbed by the hand of craftsmen who are unwilling to join the official and who still have to eat? Anyway, the milling machine’s accuracy does not meet the standards and cannot be copied by itself, but it is better to rub it manually by manpower.

If you can't maintain accuracy even by hand rubbing, you can only say that you are an amateur, not a real big shot. Since you are an amateur and you are still pretending to be noble, then you should go farming. In this situation, farming can make you full.

With this solution, the milling machine has further advancement, and can produce accessories with deviations in accuracy, and then package them and send them to those craftsmen in the wild, so that they can rub them slowly with their hands.

With this method and the accuracy continues to advance, the engine of the essence of heaven and earth - steam that was originally impossible to replicate by the magic craftsman can barely replicate itself.

It can be said that the Han Dynasty is on a very promising road. Although the seal cannot be solved, other aspects are really being gradually promoted, and the future is bright. Milling machines and other rough versions can be copied by themselves.

Simply put, the latest milling machine with the highest accuracy can already produce milling machines with some problems with accuracy. This is why Xiangli strongly demands to bring his own stamping machine to the Yellow River or the Yangtze River. In other places, he really can't play with such things.

The shortcomings of these things are all power, principles, etc. This family seems to have them, and most of them have no problems with the mechanical structure. The only thing they lack is power. Then this family is now fighting steam engines and wind turbines.

It is said that the progress is extremely terrifying. Even Zheng Hun and Ma Jun think that this family is just cheating. Now they have already found the available wind turbine units. Relying on the power brought by the wind turbine units as the driving force of the lathe, although people from Xiangli think this is a brainless design, the future of power is not the essence of heaven and earth, steam, and the rest are garbage.

Of course, the declaration of Xiangli was considered a cult by the Kuaiji Wang family and showed what electrical science is. Although most families engaged in research think that the Kuaiji Wang family is a lunatic, and stay away from it, it is undeniable that the things studied by this family are particularly shocking.

Therefore, in this case, how could Chen Xi do whatever he wants, at least he would leave a way out.

"You guy was so paranoid that I was killed. I didn't say it was your problem at all." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi who was quite excited speechlessly. Before I could speak, you had made up so much of it, which made me continue to say no.

"Oh, it's not my fault, then you can continue talking." Chen Xi said with a smile.

"Forget it. I won't say it anymore. I'll take you out to let you see the lives of the people." Liu Bei said angrily, "After looking, you will understand how much you have done over the years, and you will not be so bored. Most of these are your achievements."

"However, they still eat yellow rice, and this is still the New Year." Chen Xi spread his hands and said that I didn't think I was doing well at all.

Liu Bei looked up and down at Chen Xi's expression, and confirmed that Chen Xi was not deliberately pretending, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"It is already a prosperous era for the people to be able to eat that bowl of steamed yellow rice. When they didn't work, they drank porridge, even during the Chinese New Year, they could save everything." Liu Bei said solemnly, "and now if you ask them, they will agree that this is a prosperous era."

"..." Chen Xi was silent, "Wait for another ten years, the people will see meat. Now, yellow rice is probably worth it."
