I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Xu Wen took it carefully and looked at it from the beginning. To be honest, His Highness's handwriting could not be said well. It was curved like a dragon on the ground.

At first, Xu Wen read quickly. He was erudite and memorized, and he could remember seven, seven, eight, eight with just a glance. However, after turning two pages, his reading speed slowed down significantly. From one eye to ten lines to one word for one sentence, I can't bear to let go of the pauses between the words.

At the end, Xu Wen's eyes were bright, and the excitement in his eyes could not be hidden for a long time. He paced around twice, and then asked, "Your Highness, this... this method, can it really work?" But not yet When Ming Yu answered, he clenched his fists and waved, and said excitedly, "If it can be done, it will definitely be done."

Ming Yu smiled without saying a word, took a sip of the cold tea on the table, and immediately his whole face was wrinkled with bitterness. He then remembered that he had ordered Qingping to serve extra strong tea, which refreshed his mind. Wake up is very good.

Xu Wen fell into deep thought, he carefully pondered the method on Ming Yu's paper, deduced it in his head, and then bowed to Ming Yu, "His Royal Highness's plan will definitely solve the current trouble, and the lower official will replace the common people. Thank you, Your Highness."

Ming Yu helped him up and said with a smile: "The people under the rule of the territory are the responsibility of the king, so why should I thank you. But first, what is your opinion?"

Xu Wen pondered for a while, then organized a sentence before saying: "Let's talk about the first method mentioned by Your Highness, one of which is to let the people in the village patrol every day, and even build a belvedere. If there is an enemy situation, you can notify the people in advance, so that the people can do a good job. Preparation for an enemy attack. Second, let everyone dig the winding tunnels and connect every household secretly, so that everyone can hide when the enemy is attacked, and they can also hide the surplus food and financial items in every household in the tunnels. In this way, if there are thieves and bandits coming, there will be no loss, and the people can hide in it in advance, so that the enemy will be empty and nothing will be gained. The method is indeed wonderful!" He patted his hands in admiration, and really admired Ming Yu's ability to come up with such a method. But he paused for a while, and then asked his own question, "It's just that if the enemy finds a clue and uses the method of flooding the fire with water, can the safety of the people be guaranteed?"

As soon as Xu Wen came, he asked about the idea, proving that he thought about his plan carefully. Ming Yu is very satisfied, his head is really smart, Xu Wen's performance these days, Ming Yu sees it, he is really a rare talent. Before, he was only a petty official in the prefect's yamen who looked after the documents and files, and he was also a talented person.

Ming Yu nodded, "These must be considered in advance, the tunnel is like a labyrinth, and the entrance to the tunnel is set in a hidden place, which is not easy for ordinary people to find. Even if you find the entrance, you will not be able to find the north even if you are familiar with it. , If the enemy is alone, and the two fists are hard to beat the four hands, the people can easily deal with it. If the fire is flooded, the design of the smoke and drainage should be done in the tunnel, so that people must be safe inside. "

"As for the construction of the tunnels, this king brought a lot of skilled craftsmen from Beijing. They will personally survey and design a map of the tunnels, and then the people will start digging during the slack of farming. I think that as long as the people work together, it will not take long If it can be completed, we can try a few points first, and then we can spread it to the whole territory of Liangzhou when it is effective.”

Ming Yu has already thought of all the places, and Xu Wen has nothing but admiration in his heart. I thought that King Duan was the same as most of the dude's sons, and he used Liangcheng as a fief, but it was the same as the rumors, his brain was broken. Over the past few days, he could also see clearly that Duan Wang's sleepless nights and food for the past few days were all for the sake of the people. He really didn't expect that King Duan could think of the people all the time, so he would make every effort to plan everything for the people. Such a prince really subverted his usual thinking. He is not those rich and powerful, he is a good person. It is a blessing for the common people that Duan Wang can come to Liangcheng!

"His Royal Highness is wise!" Xu Wen bowed his hands in a salute, sincerely admiring, he thought about it and continued to say: "The second method mentioned by His Highness is to merge the small villages into a large stockade, and then build the stockade into an easy-to-defense and difficult-to-develop method. Attack the fortress, and let one or two teams of soldiers protect it. If you advance, you can repel the enemy, and if you retreat, you can defend the villagers. In this way, the enemy can't attack the strong stockade. This is a defensive method, and the people can get The best protection is indeed a rare good method. However, the cost of this should be huge, and the construction will take longer. In addition, if the garrison team is kept in the stockade for a long time, if they start other If you think like this, it will be troublesome if you conflict with the people.”

Xu Wen is more optimistic about the second method, but the stockade must be guarded by a real army, and when the enemy really faces the enemy, he can be in danger and command the people to fight the enemy together. This is also the biggest drawback. It is impossible for the soldiers to be one with the common people, and the garrison has to guard against the invasion of foreign enemies and barbarians. The soldiers are already very nervous, and there are not enough manpower. General Wei is probably hard to nod his head.

It is mentioned that spending money and soldiers to guard is a headache for Ming Yu at present, and manpower and material resources are indispensable for building a large stockade. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, no matter how good it is. If it can't be implemented, it is equal to zero.
