Mi Fang's eyes suddenly widened, his chest heaved, and his mouth opened.

"You, you, you...you..."

After talking for a long time, he only said the word "you".

"Uncle Zifang, calm down...calm down." Guan Lin advised.

Mi Fang picked up the bowl on the table, took a gulp of water, and then asked in shock:

——"You...when did you get 450,000 gold?"

Mi Fang didn't believe it.

If one gold is equal to twenty taels, I'm afraid the whole house won't be able to fit it.

If converted into grain, one gold is equal to one dendrobium.

So this grain... 450,000 dendrobium, which is the harvest of the four counties in Jingnan in almost two years.

It's enough to fill the entire prefect's mansion.

No!

The governor's mansion can't hold it at all!

…

…

From the north gate of Jiangling City, you can walk no more than a kilometer away from the city gate, and there is a long and fast river called "Yangshui".

The rising water flows eastward, as if it reaches straight to the sky. On both sides of the bank are gently undulating mountain slopes. The wind blows the fallen leaves and the green grass turns yellow.

Guan Yu and Ma Liang have just arrived here.

Guan Yu dismounted, put his hands behind his hands and walked toward the bank of Yangshui.

He squinted his eyes, stared at the roaring water in front of him, and said with emotion: "This rising water is worthy of being our natural barrier to Jiangling City!"

Ma Liang also sighed with emotion: "Yes, not everyone can risk everything like Xiang Yu, and not an ordinary general dares to fight like Han Xin."

Ma Liang means.

Although Jiangling City is surrounded by water on two sides, it is not impossible to attack from these two sides.

However, Han Xin's last stand only existed in "theory" after all.

That requires integrating too many "factors".

Normally, when attacking a city, the party attacking the city must leave sufficient room behind them to use as a buffer to arrange their troops and prevent the enemy troops in the city from suddenly rushing out to attack you.

If you are attacking a city with your back to a river, it is very easy for the defenders to drive you into the river.

Therefore…

Gangneung City is surrounded by water on both sides, which is equivalent to two natural barriers.

Based on this, it can be deduced that Xiangyang City is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side, making it more difficult to attack the city!

Guan Yu sighed again...

Because the water flow is fast.

How much... it swept away the gloom and so-called "shame" he had during the day, which made him feel much more open-minded.

Guan Yu asked Ma Liang: "Have the drawings been designed?"

Ma Liang took out the drawings and said, "The north of Jiangling City is Yangshui, the winter side is summer water, the south is extended to an open space, and further south is the Yangtze River. In this way, it is most beneficial to build a 'new city' south of Jiangling City! It is also the most important.

Impregnable."

"Changsha County is similar to Jiangling, surrounded by water on three sides, which is more conducive to the construction of new cities."

Hearing this, Guan Yu nodded.

He took a step to the left and slowly opened his eyes.

He muttered: "Learning from the past is a guide for future events. Yun Qi can predict a surprise attack on Soochow, but Guan cannot rely on his prediction every time. It would be too lucky."

Guan Yu couldn't stop thinking about Guan Lin.

And whenever I think of him, the lessons about the "dangerous situation" in the four counties of Jingnan can't help but emerge before my eyes.

As Guan Yu said, "Learning from past mistakes"!

He continued to ponder: "Rejecting Cao Cao in the north and reaching Sun Quan in the south is already very difficult. If we want to make the northern expedition and realize Kongming Nalong's plan, we must ensure that Jiangling and Changsha are impregnable. This new city must be built even if it bites the bullet!"

"

From Guan Yu's words, Ma Liang did not realize much about Guan Gong's determination and unwavering determination to build the new city.

On the contrary, what he felt most was the change in Guan Yu.

In the past, how could Guan Yu have expressed his cowardice in such rhetoric as "a lesson learned from the past and a guide for future generations"?

In the past, how could Guan Yu say something like, "It is very difficult to resist Cao Cao in the north and reach Sun Quan in the south."

——Guan Gong has changed a lot!

Ma Liang's most intuitive feeling is...

Master Yunqi repeatedly provoked Guan Gong and suppressed him. Although this damaged Guan Gong's majesty, in fact, it dissipated a lot of Guan Gong's arrogance and made him much calmer and more cautious when encountering problems.

.

——"Guan Gong, who is no longer arrogant and calm and prudent, is invincible!"

Ma Liang couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking this in his mind, Ma Liang opened his mouth and said: "New cities do have to be built. They should be built and they have to be built. But it is not easy to build two new cities at the same time. But these manpower matters are easy to say. The most lacking thing is money...

Guan Gong sent people to inquire about Grand Administrator Mi many times, but Grand Administrator Mi never responded. Maybe...he is a 'smart woman can't make a meal without rice', right?"

"Building a City" is a course!

In the old Luoyang Imperial College, there was a special course on "city building". The teacher was the eldest son of Qiaoxuanqiao who had four years of experience in building cities when he was young. Later he served as Sikong and was engaged in city construction and garden planning.

It is no exaggeration to say that city building is an extremely complex comprehensive course.

When building a new city, it includes funds, manpower, geographical environment, city design and planning, city structure, defense, weather, time, natural disasters, water supply and drainage systems, road facilities, foundation structure, fire protection, zoning and many other related knowledge

.

To be able to build a new city is a lifelong dream for a man, from the emperor to the common people!

And all of this cannot be avoided by one word:

--money!

If you use Guan Lin, it is more direct:

——"My father Guan Yu is a poor man. Can he build a city?"

In fact, Guan Yu was created.

It's just that... the progress is not fast.

Ma Liang saw Guan Yu's dilemma and said with emotion: "We have to go to the north and build cities. How much can we harvest in a year? The consumption of the soldiers of the three armies is fixed all year round. If you save more, it will be just enough. If you force it, it will be enough."

Building a city, I'm afraid..."

Thinking of this, Ma Liang suddenly thought of something.

He quickly put away his previous words.

His face seemed to suddenly turn from dark clouds to clear skies. "Guan Gong, the treasury cannot afford the money to build the city, but there is a person in our Jiangling City...he is rich!"

"--who?"

Guan Yu asked urgently.

Ma Liang smiled and said his name, "It is Yun Qi, the son of Guan Gong. Before... in Changsha County, he made a small fortune. Now I am afraid that our entire Jiangling treasury is not as rich as him!"

this…

Hear Guan Lin;

Hear about Guan Lin’s money!

Guan Yu frowned subconsciously.

He knew that Guan Lin was rich, and he also knew that Guan Lin had made a fortune. He could roughly calculate it through a rough calculation... 450,000 gold, which is just a lot more!

This money is enough to build two new cities.

However, this matter is related to this boy Guan Lin, so this is no joke.

Why should Guan Yu ask for money from his son?

Guan Yu, how can he have the nerve to ask for money from his son?

Of course, Guan Yu can choose to take it by force, but when the time comes, it will definitely be under the "Victory Bridge". This kid made such nonsense that he, the old man, will write a "book of guilt".

Thinking of this...
