The people of the Central Plains have always had a demand for city walls, and they even go too far. If the country leaves it alone in future generations, those who have money to build manors will definitely be willing to build another thick wall that can stop tanks. However, this is not because the country does not want it.
It is indeed a bit excessive to do this, so no one would do such a thing.
Otherwise, if you really leave it alone, building the city wall will almost default to a basic operation.
As ancient people, if they had the opportunity to build a city wall, they would naturally build it. In the past, Han law stipulated that such things could not be built casually. However, after Chen Xi came up, he thought that if the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the city wall will not become a rebel.
On the other hand, if the country is really in turmoil, the city wall can still provide some shelter to the people.
Therefore, this law was deleted by Chen Xi. All villages and villages and large factories can build city walls after reporting. However, Chen Xi will not allocate money to build city walls, so they must rely on self-financing and financing.
The locals worked on their own.
However, even if Chen Xi does not pay, many people in the north will work hard to build a city wall outside the village after the villages are merged. After all, the people who have experienced the turmoil have a considerable understanding of the inherent solidity of the city wall and hope that
It is safer where you live at home.
At this time in the late Han Dynasty, Chang'an City was the most prosperous place in the world. If you went out of the city for fifty miles, you would be snatched away by a tiger. Therefore, instead of closing your doors, you should build a city wall and become a city dweller.
Safety.
It's just that most of those city walls were built with rammed earth. City walls like this, which were made of stone bricks on the outside and rammed earth on the inside, can be said to be very rare. In the past, such walls were all county walls. It is enough to see that.
the local living standards.
"I remember that I was the first person in charge of Sanzhai. This kind of work is quite good." Chen Xi looked around, and then landed on the old man who was supporting the young man in the distance.
The chief position is probably the smallest official position nowadays. In the Han Dynasty, except for Liangzhou and Yangzhou, a normal county magistrate had about 8,000 to 10,000 households under his command. Of course, in densely populated areas, it could reach 20,000 to 30,000 households, but
Basically, it is around 10,000 households, not too many, not too few.
After Chen Xiji Village was merged into a village, there were mostly four or five households per household. Five or six hundred households of this kind were gathered together in one place, and then they were arranged in a Z-shaped layout of three villages, and one chief executive was placed.
Basically, there are four or five chiefs in a county. Each of these people is in charge of three villages. While the county magistrate is in charge of these people, he will also manage the county. This is roughly the distribution.
Therefore, the chief officer is considered to be the lowest-level official now. As for the village chiefs and others, they are generally retired grass-roots officers who have been placed there, and are basically not considered officials.
In fact, these retired officers may not be able to handle the trivial matters in the village, but these people can control the situation, and these people can also manage the militia well and know how to drill. In Liu Bei's words, they can suppress the whole village.
The rest can be dealt with by others. By the way, these village chiefs are the only militiamen who retain crossbows, plate armor, and shields.
In fact, the current situation of the Han Dynasty has destroyed many ancient systems. Although the management of armor is still strict, it is no longer the situation where private ownership is not allowed. It can only be said that plate armor, shields, and crossbows are not inferior.
Owned by the public, each one is registered.
As for other chain armor, chain mail and other militiamen can get it, and leather armor and cloth armor can be bought as long as you have money. Of course, even leather armor is extremely expensive if it is made with the craftsmanship of ordinary workshops.
, not something ordinary people can afford.
So much so that most of the equipment currently circulating in the market is the equipment that Chen Xi retired from his career in the early years.
By the way, because of this system, Liu Bei basically knew the village chiefs arranged in advance, and even if he didn't, he got to know them later.
"More than that, Zichuan, sometimes only you can fulfill your requests." Liu Bei said with a smile, and then he took Chen Xi and strode towards the village. When passing by his father-in-law, the two even said hello.
.
"Brother Liu, thank you for the medicine you brought last time, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter!" When the old man saw Liu Bei, he excitedly gave Liu Bei a gift, but he didn't seem to know Liu Bei's true identity.
"Haha, it will be fine when you recover. This is my younger brother Chen Changwen, and this is Li Laosi from Xitou. The situation looks much better now." Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the shoulder, and Chen Xi squinted vaguely.
He glanced at Liu Bei, then smiled and saluted the weathered little old man.
"Call Uncle Chen." Li Laosi kicked his son, and his son obediently called Chen Xi Uncle Chen. Chen Xi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and then saw the other party salute Liu Bei again, thanking Liu Bei for the herbs he had brought back.
"Ah, no, it's not worth much. In fact, you can collect herbs yourself, but you just didn't know how to treat diseases before." Liu Bei waved his hand and rejected the other party's thank you gift.
"This kid is not sensible at all. It doesn't matter if Brother Liu is back. There happens to be bacon at home. I will make bacon and stewed radish for lunch. Brother Liu remembers to come and eat." Old man Li cursed at his son again, and then pulled him
Take Liu Bei to his home.
However, Liu Bei finally declined to go to Old Man Li's house to have a meal.
"That old Li Tou just now escaped from Nanyang a few years ago and is good at forging. He used to make all the farm tools in this village, but he can no longer do it in the past two years." Liu Bei said as he walked away.
"Huh? My pot? No, right?" Chen Xi said with a raised eyebrow.
The craftsmen must not be hungry. Although Chen Xi's smelter has produced agricultural tools on a large scale in the past two years and lowered prices, it is not as if the blacksmiths in the field cannot survive. Not to mention that these people have more iron tools that can be repaired.
, and more importantly, as long as the craftsmen are registered and registered, Chen Xi will always keep them alive.
Since these wild craftsmen are not suitable for that kind of large-scale survival, then I will send you standard parts. You can hand-roll the standard parts for me, and I will give you a salary for each one you make.
Isn't this the reason why several of the milling machines that Sourishi contributed last year have been produced this year? They rely on the water power of the Yellow River to mass-produce standard equipment?
Parts are worn out and so on. If there is a problem, just replace the parts. There are so many standard parts. Isn’t it just by the hands of a group of craftsmen in the field who are unwilling to join the official and want to eat? Anyway, the precision of the milling machine is not good.
If it reaches the standard, it cannot be copied by itself, but it will be better if it is rubbed manually.
If you can't maintain accuracy even with manual rubbing, then you can only be said to be an amateur, not a real boss. Since you are an amateur and you still pretend to be noble, then you should go farming. Now
In this situation, farming can provide enough food.
With this solution, the milling machine has been further advanced, and it can cut out parts with deviations in accuracy, and then package them and send them to the craftsmen in the field, so that they can use their hands to slowly rub them.
By relying on this method, if the accuracy continues to advance, the engine of the essence of heaven and earth - steam, which was originally impossible to be copied by non-magical craftsmen, will barely be able to copy itself.
It can be said that the Han Dynasty is walking on a very promising road. Although there is no way to fix the seal, other aspects are really being gradually advanced. The future is bright. The rough version of the milling machine can already be used on its own.
Copied.
To put it simply, the latest milling machine with the highest precision can already produce milling machines with some accuracy problems. This is why Xianglishi strongly requests to bring his own stamping machines to the Yellow River or the Yangtze River. Other places are really fun.
Don't move this kind of thing.
The current shortcomings of these gadgets are all power, principles, etc. This family seems to have them all, and most of the mechanical structures are fine. The only thing missing is power, and this family is now madly attacking steam engines and wind turbines.
It is said that the progress is extremely terrible. Even Zheng Hun and Ma Jun feel that this family is simply cheating. Now they have found a usable wind turbine unit and rely on the power brought by the wind turbine unit as the driving force of the lathe. Although Xiang Lishi
Many people think this is a stupid design. The future of power is not the essence of heaven and earth, steam, and everything else is garbage.
Of course, this declaration of the Kuaiji Wang family is considered a cult by the Kuaiji Wang family, and it shows what electricity is. Although most families engaged in research think that the Kuaiji Wang family are lunatics and stay away, it is undeniable that what this family studies is special.
It can shock people's hearts.
Therefore, in this situation, how could Chen Xi do anything wrong, and at least he would have a way to survive.
"You have such a serious paranoia about being victimized. I didn't say it was your problem at all." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi, who was quite excited, speechlessly. Before I even spoke, you had already made up so much in your head. This made me wonder.
I continued to say no more.
"Oh, it's not my fault, then you can continue talking." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about it. I brought you out so that you can see the lives of ordinary people." Liu Bei said angrily, "Have a look and you will understand how much you have done over the years, and you will not be so bored.
Most of these are your fault."
"However, they still eat yellow rice, and this is the Chinese New Year." Chen Xi spread his hands, saying that I didn't think I was doing a good job at all.
Liu Bei looked Chen Xi's expression up and down and made sure that Chen Xi was not deliberately showing off, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Being able to eat a bowl of steamed yellow rice is already a prosperous time for the people. When they were not working in the past, all they drank was porridge. Even during the Chinese New Year, they can save the capital." Liu Bei said very solemnly.
Said, "And if you ask them now, they will all agree that this is a prosperous age."
"..." Chen Xi was silent, "In another ten years, the common people will see meat. Now, yellow rice probably counts."
Chen Xi's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, not because he was being pretentious, but because he could really get to that point!
