As the city is close to the Triangle City, the first thing that catches your eye are several huge brick kilns outside the city. At this time, the city has been built, and only one or two brick kilns are still in production, and bricks and tiles are still being fired for construction. There are also several porcelain kilns not far away, which are newly built.

Not far north of Triangle City is Baoji Mountain, which is rich in coal, iron ore and porcelain clay. During the Tang Dynasty, there were iron-making porcelain, which was abandoned for nearly one or two hundred years. After Gao Daquan entered the city here to build a city, he dug out these ore sites again while mining coal and bricks, and made porcelain while smelting iron. After Bao Zheng arrived, the kilns of these ore sites were being transferred to his hands.

Porcelain is an important bulk goods of this era and is sold well in various places. There are several porcelain kilns, which are chickens that can lay golden eggs in the place. And coal has another use, that is, it is used to burn kangs.

People in this area are used to sleeping in kangs, and many poor families live in caves, so coal is indispensable. Song Ci of the Southern Song Dynasty once recorded in his "Xiyi Lu" that many people in the northwest lie on kangs, and they always burn smelly coal, and people are fumigated and die without realizing it. This area is rich in smelly coal, which is consistent with the characteristics recorded by Song Ci.

Xu Ping did not know Song Ci's record, but the cases of poisoning and death caused by burning stinky coal have occurred since last year. He could not give up the food and refused to burn coal, so he could only start with the transformation of the kang. The reason for gas poisoning in the past was that the coal-burning stove was indoors and the ventilation of the kang was not scientific. People did not know the principle of poisoning and could not come up with a solution. Once the reason was understood, it was actually very simple to solve it. That is, move the coal stove outdoors, or a small room, and only let the smoke enter the air duct of the kang to keep warm and discharge it from the chimney at the other end. In this way, the heat only heats the bedroom instead of entering the bedroom directly, and there will naturally be no hidden danger of poisoning. This was Xu Ping's method to build a warm room in Beijing, and it was first promoted in the Yingtianwu and military camps. Therefore, people near Qinzhou called this kind of furnace Yingtianwu, while those in Huizhou and Dingxi areas called it military kangs, which were all the same thing.

At this time, the tall military camps inside and outside the Triangle City are all sleeping in the military kangs to ensure warmth in winter. If they can attack Tiandu Mountain this winter, these barracks will be left to other armies concentrated here. When all the troops occupy Tiandu Mountain and the army leaves, they will be transferred to the camp and field affairs and local governments. Walking along the way, this is a different place in Xuping's army from other armies. It is through these little things that can be loved by local people.

Gao Daquan and Jingtai received the news and came out of the city early. When they saw Xu Ping and his party, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

After the chirping, he led the way and led Xu Ping and his party into the city.

This city is not smaller than Huizhou City, and it is completely newly built on the old city ruins, and the plan is more reasonable. The city is not big, but unlike other old cities in the northwest, there are rarely four city gates in the old city, most of which are two or three gates, and some even only one city gate. The main reason is that when defending, the city gates are less dangerous to be broken. The Triangle City is different. Not only are the city gates open on all sides, but there are three city gates in the east and west, two city gates in the north and south, and a total of ten city gates.

Different regulations show different ideas against the enemy. If the city gate is opened less and the city gate is opened more and more, it is an offensive to assist in defense. Attack is an important means of defense. Opening more cities will help defenders in the city attack, and it will make the enemy outside the city unable to understand the direction of attack. If one or two city gates are bound to die, the enemy will easily counterattack.

According to Xu Ping's intention, some fake gates should be set up next to the city gate, and even if necessary, the real and fake ones could be changed, so that the enemy siege could not understand the rules of the defenders' attack. It was just that time was urgent, and Gao Daquan was too late to build it.

The city wall is not too high, and the principle is that it cannot block the projectile weapons in the city, such as stone cannons, attack externally. At the same time, the city is arranged accordingly based on the projectile trajectory passing through the wall, minimizing the losses caused by the enemy's projectile weapons. Although artillery has been used in the army, it is difficult to raise gunpowder and cannot be used openly.

There is defense in the attack, and there is attack in the defense. Change at any time according to specific conditions. This is the quality that a mature army should possess. When it comes to charge, it will only rush to death, when it comes to retreat, it will scatter, and when it comes to defense, it will shrink, which is not in line with Xu Ping's requirements.

Looking at the neat streets and flat roads, Xu Ping said to Gao Daquan and Jingtai: "You have worked hard to build this city, and it looks very neat. Hou Ping defeated the thieves. Here is the key to Qinzhou from going to Lingzhou, and it will definitely become a metropolis."

Gao Daquan said: "According to the order of the Dugu Jun, the army has been training for five minutes in the past few months, building cities, building houses, and renovating nearby roads, as well as facilities, and reading and writing. Tens of thousands of troops here should have this scale."

Xu Ping nodded repeatedly and whispered to Wang Kai around him about the city's plans. He built his own protective palace, and Wang Kai no longer cared about all military affairs. He also saw many things at this time and was very excited.

Not long after walking, I arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, there was no civil affairs in Huizhou, and everything was under military control. As the highest commander of the garrison, Gao Daquan naturally also served as the city lord of the city. Of course, there were no ordinary people in the city, just a few other yamen personnel who were not under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate Office, including Xu Ping's request, the city layout was still based on the ordinary city, the official office, commercial area, people's residential area, etc. The war came to an end. When the army left here, it could be handed over to the local area directly as a general county town.

When he arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion and got off the horse, Xu Ping said to Gao Daquan and Jingtai: "The war is about to begin, and the army should not be distracted from civil affairs anymore. I have reported to the court, and Feng Gao is the inspector here, and all the miscellaneous tasks will be returned to him. Waiting for him to come from Longchengzhai, you will hand over all the affairs to him and concentrate on the coming war."

Gao Daquan and Jingtai agreed with each other, which was something they both wanted. No matter what the military affairs were, the world was peaceful, drinking and eating meat every day, and being happy, they were like an ordinary imperial guards. If they were in charge, they would be dizzy every day. Xu Ping's Protectorate's Office had various routine official documents and random inspections every day, so they could not allow the commander to be the boss. They did not have a good day for ordinary commanders.

Feng Gao was originally one of the chief supervisors of Qinfeng Road. This year, he has been communicating the nearby villages on Longban Avenue to change customs and ensure the safety of the avenue. At this time, it was already peaceful, so Xu Ping asked him to hand over the matter at hand to Qingshui County. He changed his position to Triangle City to serve as the inspector here to manage the private affairs and all the miscellaneous matters.

Local affairs are given to local officials. Gao Daquan's mobile corps can only be temporarily handled. When the war is done, we cannot be distracted from those miscellaneous matters and must concentrate on arranging the war.

After entering the city lord's mansion, he met a group of generals and colleges in the army. Xu Ping encouraged him and finally said: "It's already autumn, the war in Tiandu Mountain will soon begin. You must be motivated. This battle is against the main force of the Hao thief, which is different from usual. If you win a battle, your military achievements will be calculated better. If you can enter Tiandu Mountain and disperse Hao thief, your achievements will be greater than those in Zhuoluo City!"

The generals applauded. Because in the battle of Zhuoluo City, they all rose up and promoted far beyond their peers, which was highly encouraged.
