Chapter 25 Village Wall

When the patriarchs of each village heard this, they began to whisper.

Qin Zhao asked for command of the village head team.

However, what Qin Zhao said does make sense. If the villages in each village are completely dispersed, they will not have the ability to gather in a hurry. And who will command the training during daily training is a crucial matter. Whoever commands the training of this team is equivalent to seizing the command of all the village soldiers in Renhoufang.

Although the village soldiers paid monthly money and food from the village, in principle, they were only loyal to their own villages. However, if they were commanded and rewarded by the generals and officials over a long time, they would naturally develop fear and obedience to the generals and officials.

The patriarchs of Renhoufang villages were a little hesitant and whispered there and couldn't come up with ideas.

Zhang Lai slapped the table suddenly and said, "I think this matter is OK. On weekdays, Brother Qin Zhao and Qin are the main ones. Villagers attend five days every ten days and go to the foot of Brother Qin Zhao and Qin's Chunyunfeng Mountain to practice formations and train martial arts. In this way, the village soldiers have queue training and know how to fight in an orderly manner, so that they will not scatter when they encounter strong enemies."

Wei Ran, the patriarch of Weijia Village, said in a hoarse voice: "I agree too!"

He attended ten days to train for five days, and returned to the village for the remaining five days. Wei Ran felt that such a villager was still loyal to his village and would not become a supporter of Qin Zhao.

Hearing Zhang Lai and Wei Ran's affirmation, the other patriarchs were no longer reserved and expressed their approval.

"What Brother Qin said makes sense!"

"Just do what Mr. Zhang said!"

"I think this is OK."

Qin Zhao was not thinking about taking over this team of village heads. He was really worried about the defense of Renhoufang. In this turbulent and chaotic world, he could not count on the court and county magistrate, and he did not have the strength to pull out a strong army. The only way to use village heads in each village was.

Seeing that everyone agreed with their opinions, Qin Zhao bowed his fists and bowed to everyone.

Everyone began to discuss the share of troops sent by each village and reward the soldiers with monthly money.

After an hour of discussion, everyone came up with the final charter. Fortunately, the matter of a tiger extorting each village was still yesterday. The patriarchs of each village realized that there was no terrible force, and they would not be too scoundrel when bargaining. Some people hoped that their village would send fewer troops and pretend to be poor and miserable. Often, the villagers next to them would give up with a hint that the parties involved would give up. In the end, the entire team of Renhoufang Village was designated 216 people.

Seeing that everything went well, Zhang Lai's face turned red with excitement, and waved his hand and shouted: "Take the suckling pig, dishes and soy wine. Today is the happy day for our alliance. We eat meat in big mouthfuls and drink in big bowls!"

...

Qin Zhao sat in the north of Qinjia Village and watched the laborers in the village build the village wall.

After experiencing a tiger, the villagers of Qinjia Village were eager to build the village wall. If there was a village wall, villagers could go up to defend the wall when they encountered bandits and challenge the bandits from a high place. Especially the village wall could also have nuns walls, so that the bandits' archers could not kill and damage the villagers who were defending the wall from a distance.

You should know that the most deadly thing in this era is archers. When villagers without military skills and armor meet thieves' archers, they almost shoot one villager with one arrow. A pot of bows and arrows can shoot dozens of villagers.

Qinjia Village used to be hit by a tiger's bones because it had no village walls. However, those villages with village walls were not forced too hard by thieves before. Because once the villagers went up to the village walls and hung up the hanging households, a tiger could not attack the village.

Qin Zhao has now become the person in Qinjia Village, and the first thing he does is of course to build a village wall for Qinjia Village.

After all, Qin Zhao is preparing to use Qinjia Village as a base for future development.

Qin Zhao is preparing to use the industrial skills he has mastered to change this era. Since this is the case, the future base will definitely be an industrial city. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is too difficult to walk up the mountain road, and it is too difficult to pull up the ox carts and horse carts. It is not a long-term solution to engage in industry on it.

In Qinjia Village, men, women, young and old in the village have taken care of the indigenous Qin Zhao. Indigenous Qin Zhao lost his father at the age of 11 and his mother at the age of 14. It was the help of the villagers who could survive and not starve to death. These villagers taught the young Qin Zhao how to farm, how to plant early rice and late rice, and irrigate. Many people said that they were kind to Qin Zhao.

This kind of interpersonal relationship is the foundation of the indigenous Qin Zhao, and the time traveler Qin Zhao of course had to inherit it.

Although the people in Qinjia Village are also cunning and vulgar as those of rural people, they are generally kind. Except for a few scoundrels and ruffians, everyone else has some backbone. Qin Zhao regards them as his first followers, which is a natural and rational choice.

So Qin Zhao began to plan the village wall in Qinjia Village. Of course, he had to defend his future base and be foolproof.

Qinjia Village is a shape that is long and short from north to south, about twenty feet wide from east to west, and about ninety feet long from north to south.

Qin Zhao built the village wall relatively abundantly, leaving behind the land needed to build a factory in the future. The total village wall to be built is about 220 feet, which is 720 meters in later generations.

The village wall is 100 feet high, which is about five meters in later generations. The defender is equivalent to standing between the second and third floors of the later generations.

When repairing the wall, first pour the soil dug from the wasteland on the planned ground of the village wall. Then, for every fifteen villagers, ten people shouted loudly, used fifteen hemp ropes to pull a flat-bottom stone tray of 200 kilograms from ten directions, pulled the stone tray to a height of two meters high, and then shouted loudly together, pulling the stone tray down so that the stone tray could hit the soil, hammering the soil.

Every place has to be hammered like this more than ten times, until the soil is as hard as the stone.

The village wall built in this way is very solid and is not afraid of wind and rain or impact on wood. However, the construction speed is relatively slow.

Qin Youli yelled everywhere in the village, asking all the people in the village to come out to build the village wall. Qin Youli was shouted out that more than 200 people would ramm the soil on the base of the village wall every day. Although these villagers were not very strong, fortunately, there were many people and strong forces. If more than 200 people worked together, they could ramm the village wall every day.

The thirty servants hired by Qin Zhao did not come to repair the wall. Those strong men wanted to strengthen their momentum on the Chiyun Peak to protect the spoils. After all, in addition to silver, there were also a large amount of armor, weapons and spoils on the mountain. These were very valuable things and needed protection. Chiyun Peak had a village gate defense, and the security was much better than that of Qinjia Village.

Those strong men also need to practice martial arts to become qualified servants under Qin Zhao.

By doing this, the villagers can repair the rammed earth part of the village wall after deducting the busy spring farming time.

Then there is the brick-wrapped nun wall. This is where Qin Zhao’s money is really needed, and it costs a lot. Considering that this was already the seventeenth year of Chongzhen and the chaos between the Southern Ming and the Qing Dynasty, Qin Zhao decided to build a brick-wrapped female wall on earth to give Qinjia Village a better defense.

If all the village walls were covered with bricks, they would probably cost more than 300,000 bricks. Even if Qin Zhao was now in possession of Yunfeng's spoils, he would have to bleed heavily if he wanted to buy so many bricks.

Qin Zhao also had to pay the servants a monthly salary, but in fact he couldn't squeeze out the money to buy bricks and walls.

Qin Zhao's career is in chaos and he has to spend money everywhere, and the seized money is not enough.
