Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

The people of the Central Plains have always had a need for the city wall, and even said it too much. If the country of later generations ignores it, those who have money to build manors will definitely be willing to build a thick wall that can block tanks, but this is not the country. Letting it do this, and doing it like this is indeed a bit too much, so no one does this kind of thing.

Otherwise, if you really let it go, repairing the city wall can almost default to the basic operation.

As an ancient person, if there is an opportunity to build a city wall, it will be built naturally. In the past, the Han law stipulated that this thing could not be built casually. However, after Chen Xi came up, he thought that if the country is truly peaceful and the people are safe, the city wall will not become a rebel Relying on it, in turn, if the country is really in turmoil, the city wall can still provide some shelter for the people.

Therefore, this law was deleted by Chen Xi. All the villages and large-scale factory areas after the villages were merged can build city walls after reporting. However, Chen Xi will not allocate money to build the city walls. The natives did the labor themselves.

However, even if Chen Xi doesn't pay for it, many people in the north will try their best to build a city wall around the village after the village is merged. Home is safer.

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 for fifty miles, you will be taken away by a tiger. Safety.

It's just that those city walls are mostly built of rammed earth. It can be said that this kind of city wall with stone bricks on the outside and rammed earth on the inside is very rare. In the past, this kind of city wall belonged to the county city. the local standard of living.

"I remember that I was the head of Sanzhai's resettlement. 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 principal is probably the smallest official position now. Except for Liangzhou and Yangzhou in the Han Dynasty, the county magistrate of a normal county had about 8,000 to 10,000 households. Of course, it could reach 20,000 to 30,000 households in densely populated places, but Basically, it is around 10,000 households, neither too many nor too few.

After Chen Xi gathered the villages and merged them, there were mostly four or five households in one household. These five or six hundred households were gathered in one place, and then the three villages were arranged in the shape of a character, and a head was placed.

Basically, there are four or five principals in a county, and 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 well. This is roughly the distribution.

Therefore, the principal is considered to be the lowest-level official at present. As for the village chiefs and the like, they are generally retired grassroots military officers, and they 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, know how to drill, in Liu Bei's words, they can suppress the whole village, The rest can be dealt with by other people, and by the way, these village chiefs are the only militiamen who keep their 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 was not allowed. It can only be said that plate armor, shields, and crossbows are not inferior. Owned by the people, each one is registered.

As for other chain armor, chain mail can be obtained by militiamen, and leather armor and cloth armor can be bought as long as you have money. Of course, even leather armor is expensive if it is made by ordinary workshops. , Not ordinary people can afford it.

As a result, most of the equipment circulating in the market is the equipment that Chen Xi retired in the early years.

By the way, because of this system, Liu Bei basically knew all the village chiefs arranged in advance, and even if he didn't, he knew them all later.

"It's not just good, Zi Chuan, sometimes only you can fulfill your request." Liu Bei said with a smile, and then took Chen Xi to the village with big strides. When they passed by the old man, 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 saluted Liu Bei excitedly, but he didn't seem to know Liu Bei's real identity.

"Haha, it's good if you recover. This is my younger brother Chen Changwen, and this is Li Lao Si from Xitou. The situation looks much better now." Liu Bei patted Chen Xi on the shoulder, and Chen Xi squinted secretly. He glanced at Liu Bei, then smiled and saluted the weathered little old man.

"Call him Uncle Chen." Li Lao Si kicked his son, and his son called Chen Xi "Uncle Chen" obediently. Chen Xi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and then saw the other party salute Liu Bei, thanking Liu Bei for the herbs he brought back earlier.

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

"This kid is not sensible at all. It's good that brother Liu is back. I just happen to have bacon at home. I'll make braised radish with bacon at noon. Brother Liu, remember to eat it." Old man Li cursed at his son again, and then dragged Take Liu Bei to his home.

But in the end Liu Bei declined to go to Old Man Li's house for dinner.

"The old man Li just now escaped from Nanyang a few years ago, and he is good at forging. He used to forge the farm tools in this village, but he has failed in the past two years." Liu Bei said as he walked.

"Huh? My fault? No way." Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and said.

Craftsmen can't be hungry, right? Although Chen Xi's smelter has produced farm tools on a large scale in the past two years and lowered the price, it doesn't mean that the blacksmiths in the wild can't survive. Not to mention that these people have more iron tools that can be repaired , and more importantly, as long as it is a registered craftsman, Chen Xi has always been arranged to live.

Since these wild craftsmen are not suitable for that kind of large-scale survival, then I will send you standard parts, you rub the standard parts for me, and I will give you a salary for each one.

The milling machines that Xiang Lishi contributed last year have produced several this year. Isn't this the reason why the large-scale production standard equipment is driven by the water power of the Yellow River?

The accessories are worn or something, it’s drizzled, and if something goes wrong, just replace the accessories. There are so many standard parts, isn’t it because of the hands of those craftsmen who are unwilling to join the official and have to eat? Anyway, the precision of the milling machine is not good. If it reaches the standard, there is no way to copy it by itself, but it will be fine if it can't be rubbed by hand.

If you can't maintain the accuracy even by manual rubbing, then you can only say that you are 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 be enough.

Relying on this solution, the milling machine has been further advanced, and it can grind out parts with deviations in precision, and then pack them and send them to the craftsmen in the field for them to rub slowly with their hands.

Relying on this method, if the precision continues to advance, the engine of the heaven and earth essence-steam that cannot be replicated by non-spiritual craftsmen can barely replicate itself.

It can be said that the Han Dynasty is walking on a very promising road. Although there is no way to seal it, other aspects are really being gradually advanced. The future is bright. The rough version of the milling machine can already be used by itself. copied.

To put it simply, the latest milling machine with the highest precision can already produce milling machines with a little precision. This is why Xiang Lishi strongly requested to get his own stamping machines to the Yellow River or the Yangtze River. Other places are really fun. Do not move this kind of thing.

The current shortcomings of these gadgets are all power, principles and so on. This family seems to have it all, and most of the mechanical structures are fine. The only thing missing is power, and now this family is mad at steam engines and wind turbines.

It is said that the progress is extremely frightening. Even Zheng Hun and Ma Jun feel that this family is simply cheating. Now a usable wind turbine unit has been produced, relying on the power brought by the wind turbine unit as the driving force of the lathe. Most people think that this is a brain-dead design, the future of power is not the essence of heaven and earth, steam, and everything else is rubbish.

Of course, Xiangli's declaration is considered a cult by the Kuaiji Wang family, and it shows what is called electricity. Although most of the research families think that the Kuaiji Wang family is crazy, and stay away, it is undeniable that the things this family researches are special. Can shock people.

Therefore, under such circumstances, how could Chen Xi mess around, at least he would have a way out.

"You are too delusional to be persecuted. I didn't say it was your problem at all." Liu Bei looked at the excited Chen Xi speechlessly. 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 to let you see the lives of ordinary people." Liu Bei said angrily, "Take a look and you will understand how much you have done for so many years, so you will not be so bored. More than half of these are your credit."

"However, they still eat yellow rice. It's still Chinese New Year." Chen Xi spread his hands, expressing that I didn't think I did a good job at all.

Liu Bei looked Chen Xi's expression up and down, and made sure that Chen Xi was not deliberately putting on airs, so he couldn't help but sighed.

"Being able to eat that bowl of steamed yellow rice is already a prosperous age for the common people. When they were not working, they drank porridge. Even if it was Chinese New Year, they could save money." Liu Bei was very solemn. Said, "And now if you ask them, they will all agree that this is a prosperous age."

"..." Chen Xi was silent, "Wait another ten years, and the common people will see meat. Now, yellow rice probably counts."

Chen Xi's voice became lower and lower, not to be hypocritical, but to really reach that point!
