It is not easy to manage a town with a population of more than 20,000. Mayor Geng Yong and chief Cui Jun all came to tell each other that there was a lack of manpower.

In the city, the post office seems to have a low position, but it is not a person who is familiar with writing and writing, and is quite knowledgeable about arithmetic, so he cannot take responsibility.

Among the clans and the people, there are very few people who know literacy. Otherwise, the Liu clan would not have only selected four people per generation and sent them to private schools. This shows that the school fees are very expensive.

Liu Bei then went to find his mentor.

My mentor said, what's the difficulty? All the students of the right age in the school can take up the role. The minor officials who fight for food are not favored by wealthy families. However, it is a good opportunity for the poor children to make a comeback. So we found three other great scholars to screen the right disciples and enter the school to solve the worries of lack of people.

It is actually not like this. The salary of the court and the reward of the marquis's mansion can be as high as a hundred stones. The annual salary is 50,000 yuan. It is considered rich.

Similar to those who teach disciples to enter public office, Liu Bei called him: Intern.

The city of Lousangyi was prosperous. The Geng family made pottery in Laoyadu simply moved to Lousang and bought a house near the port to live in.

This is also to prevent enamel and other processes from being stolen by those who are interested.

In this way, ceramics have also become one of Lou Sang's specialties.

Qingxi can travel a hundred stone merchant ship. It is no different from Laoya Ferry. Lou Sangyi is rich and is also a place where goods from north to south and merchants gather. It is naturally the best choice to open a ceramic merchant store here. Geng Yong's family deserves to be doing business for generations and is very eye-catching.

Cui Jun was busy with post office, so the Cui family caravan handed over to his elder brother Cui Jun who returned from Luoyang. The teahouse where he entered the gold-fighting house every day was also handed over to his elder brother. Cui Jun, whose courtesy name was Yuanping, was loyal and straightforward and had been walking by his father. Now his uncle Cui Shi teaches in the school, so many people from the Cui family are stranded in Lou Sang.

There are many things to do in the fiefdom. Although Liu Bei doesn’t need to worry about everything, he still has to listen to his subordinates’ reports at all times. Only by getting his approval can he implement it.

I had no choice but to stay at home and could not travel far.

The beautiful maids in the family performed their duties and followed the rules without any mistakes. The clan's subordinates called Gongsun: the young lady. He confirmed his wife's identity, which greatly improved Gongsun's condition and made Liu Bei feel much more at ease.

Although salted wood can prevent fire, it cannot prevent fire. If someone sets fire on purpose, the wood will always burn. Liu Bei asked Su Bo. Su Bo ordered a can of gray-white paint. Liu Bei stirred it, and it seemed to be a mineral glue similar to ripe lime, or a kind of clay mixed with water. It was chalk mixed with some pure natural flame retardant substances.

Su Bo said that this is white lacquer, which can prevent fire. First apply it to beams and pillars, then air-dry it and then apply wood lacquer to prevent fire. In addition, people have a strong sense of fire prevention, and there are also pavilions in the pavilion dedicated to extinguishing fires. The heavy building built by Lou Sang does not use thatch but bricks and bluestone, and every household has large tanks to store water to prevent problems before it happens, so it can avoid disasters.

There are many people living in the seven-story building in the atrium. The five-story building in the front yard has no use except for daily reception. It is handed over to Su Bo to decorate it slowly. The so-called "carved pillars, lacquered copper" is the advanced aesthetic of this era. Looking at the railings, the towers are all in your eyes. Looking back on the yellow dogs in thatched cottages a few years ago, it is a world of difference.

What if the bottom layer catches fire?

Liu Bei's heart moved: paragliding.

"Mozi·Luwen" mentioned that Gongshuzi cut bamboo and wood and thought it was a magpies, but it didn't take three days. He also built a large wooden kite that could carry people to investigate the enemy situation in the war. "The Old Story of Zhugong" also records: "I once used a wooden kite to ride it to see the Song city."

‘Ride it to see the city of Song’, just this sentence shows that the big wooden kite can not only carry people, but also fly high and cross the city walls.

The ancestors can do it, and the present can do it.

Liu Bei found Su Bo and sketched the wooden kite mentioned in the miscellaneous books, so that he could make it according to the same. There are two key points for wooden kite: shooting high and gliding.

Shoot the wooden kite from the ground into the air, and then spread its wings and glide.

If you want to shoot the wooden phoenix out, you must use a bed crossbow.

The bed crossbow first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. It was wound on the winch and had a long range, but its accuracy was poor, and it was generally a volley.

In this dynasty, bed crossbows have been used on a large scale. "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Chen Qiu" records that Chen Qiu once "a large string of wood is a bow, and a feather spear is a arrow. He triggered the machine to fire it, shooting more than a thousand steps from a distance, and many killings." This crossbow was only broken by hand, and the force of foot pedal was difficult to open, so it was called a bed crossbow. Its large copper crossbow machine is one foot and seven inches long, four inches wide, and one foot and three inches high. The crossbow arm is more than 1 meter long, and it may be enough for ejection of wooden kites.

Gliding naturally depends on both wings.

The material is not complicated, just thin skin is enough. The key is the expansion angle of the triangle wings and the center of gravity support that the personnel hang under it.

None of these are the problems. You can find the key points by just multiple experiments. Just in case, Su Bo set up a new high platform next to the dock and fired the wooden kite towards Baihu. He also tried to ride the person with a thin body and a very watery body to avoid damage.

Continuous crossbows cannot be shot continuously. Instead, they can shoot five crossbow arrows at a time. Therefore, continuous crossbows are also called continuous crossbows. They are improved by the two-arrow continuous crossbows during the Warring States Period. According to the number of crossbow arrows emitted, the names are different. There are three-arrow arrows, four-arrow arrows, and five-arrow arrows. The continuous crossbows equipped by Lou Sang Crossbowman are the full name: five-arrow arrow continuous crossbows.

The great scholar Liu Chong was once a master of the general and had a deep connection with mixed learning.

In addition to concurrent crossbows, there are also knives.

Knife chariot, also known as the door trolley.

It is the equipment to guard the city. When the city gate is broken, it can be used to plug the door. There are twelve and fourteen steel knives on the front knife wall. When used, push the car to the gap in the city gate. It can not only kill the enemy, but also block the enemy's arrows and stones. Because there is a knife barrier, it is difficult for the opponent to climb, forming a barrier to movement. There is an arrow window on the car, which can also shoot from a high point outward.

The knife chariot is an extremely strong two-wheeled vehicle. The body of the car is as wide as the city gate, about three or four meters wide. There are three to four wooden frames in front of the car, and several sharp knives are fixed on each floor. The body of the car has a long shaft. Once the enemy breaks through the city gate, hundreds of soldiers push the knife chariot hard, pierce and crush them all the way, and block the city gate. Fighting fiercely, the city gate is hard to protect. This door-sticking knife chariot is the most useful emergency weapon.

Liu Chong saw that there was a palace in Lou Sangyi but no door, so he presented this picture.

Liu Bei was overjoyed at the sight. What he was happy about was not the knife cart itself, but the overall structure of the two-wheeled cart.

It is really useless to block the Yimen. If a sufficient number of knives are built, connected to each other with iron cables to form a "knives trolley barrier". Wouldn't it be better to use it to block the road?

That's right. So I explained the thoughts in my heart to Su Bo. Su Bo smiled and said: Yes!

In recent years, Qingxu has been drought many years. Disasters have been reported in nearby prefectures and counties. Since Lou Sang changed to paddy fields, it has been ripe. The clan people all follow the people and all of them have passed on it. It was because Liu Bei inherited the will of heaven, so auspiciousness came from the sky. Speaking of which, it is very unthinkable that people dare to plant rice in the north, and they cannot do it!

Lou Sangyi can be harmonious in neighborhoods, and not pick up the leftovers on the road and do not close the door at night. The biggest reason is Liu Bei. Such as cause and effect, religious metaphysics, if you believe, there will be, if you don’t believe, there will be no.

The people of the country believed that Liu Bei was auspicious from heaven. Just as the people of Qingxu and the two provinces believed in Taiping Road more and more.

Why did it come to this point?

Liu Bei seemed to have some answers.

Disasters occur frequently. Although prefectures and counties are working hard to provide disaster relief, there are always people who are in a mess and become gangsters. They make money from national disasters, and they buy land, and their wives and daughters. The land flows to powerful landlords. The land has not been maintained for three meals, and they often get sick. It is just that there is a Taiping Road, which provides fu water to treat diseases, and also gives up rice and grain to help them. The refugees are recreated and they should believe it without doubt.

At this time, Liu Bei was powerless.
