The carriage left the Acropolis in silence, and after leaving the city gate, they went east first, and then crossed a ferry. Tianchengwei was surrounded by the Sanggan River and the Nanyang River. Two large rivers were one south and one north, and some small river tributaries ran through the territory. This ferry was a tributary of the Sanggan River. It was not very wide, about thirty steps wide, but there was no bridge built, so people still needed a ferry to pass.

Zhang Han had already planned to build a bridge here, and it was to build a strong stone bridge. Building a bridge was not easy in ancient times. The so-called greatest good deed in the ancients was to repair bridges and roads. Just giving porridge was useless. Building a bridge was more expensive than repairing the roads because it required large pieces of stones, chiseled into combined stones, and then slowly erected them, which required manpower and financial resources. In addition, the design of a bridge was not as simple as erecting it casually. A stone bridge of such a large scale cost at least several thousand silver. No one in the local government asked about such a thing, and ordinary wealthy households could not do it. Zhang Han wanted to mobilize the army and clear the business roads to a greater extent, and it was inevitable that the bridge was built everywhere.

The first bridge is built here.

Han Qi still saw the ferry. It was cool in the evening in May. It was not very late now. People were thinking about crossing the river earlier and finding a place to rest. Many people started calling the boatman, but after shouting for a long time, the ferry still disappeared.

"Master," he shouted and got a reply. A family member of Han Qi came to report: "The boatman said the ferry was leaking, and he was looking for someone to repair it on the other side. It would be a great time tonight."

"What's this?" Han Qi was insulted by Zhang Han's lawsuit. He was determined to arrive at the capital early, make a new official position, and then report a book to report Zhang Han's affairs. Even if he offended the entire Xuanda officialdom, he would do whatever he wanted to go out of touch with his family. He thought that he would still win over some people's hearts at this time and not be separated from his family. Therefore, he said coldly: "There are people living nearby, and find a way to find a mansion to settle down."

"Yes, Master."

The family came out by chance and did not dare to neglect it. They searched around and found that there was only a small village above four miles away. Fortunately, there was a ancestral hall inside, so you could barely settle down after cleaning. Han Qi had nothing to say. Officials of his level could use the post station openly without spending a penny by themselves. The post station had to serve him well, but now he could only endure it.

After dark, everyone rested, and Liu De also sat in the house to rest. He did not live in the ancestral hall. Han Qi had a concubine, so it was inconvenient to live with everyone. Liu De found a private family to live temporarily. Han Qi did not arrange meals for everyone, and did not ask for money. Liu De had to pay for the farm to bake a few cakes, stir-fry a plate of eggs, mix a small plate of cucumbers, and have dinner.

He kept thinking in his heart that he didn't know if everything would go smoothly this time. Dongweng's big tree seemed unreliable, but Liu De followed Han Qi for many years and had a good relationship. If he gave up, the price would be too high.

But Liu De has been thinking about Zhang Han's words and Zhang Han's words and deeds. He is no longer thinking about how to deal with Zhang Han, but thinking about what magic is Zhang Han's words and deeds have and why he can eat everywhere.

"Okay, because you have to work hard again..." Li Shenming's face was full of teasing. Sun Jingting had already returned to Lingqiu. Zhang Han had to welcome another kiss and a room. Sun Yuniang was a fair wife. The courtesy was just a little less than the official wife. Zhang Han had to work hard again.

But Li Shenming's "hard work" at this time was of course another meaning. Zhang Han picked up the bamboo pillow and threw it over.

...

"There are three people in Tiancheng Guards who do not take command of the seal, and two in Zhenlu Guards, both of which are hereditary commanders. There are also 17 hereditary magistrates, 31 hereditary assistants, 55 hereditary 100 households, and more than 300 deputy households. These military officers cover a total of 170,000 mu of land, and the two arable land of Tiancheng and Zhenlu Guards have a total of 230,000 mu, and the officers account for half of them, and a lot more."

The person who spoke was Xia Xiping, a young man with a low-end face and fair face. He ran around to collect grains with Li Yuchun, which was considered an internship period from Xinpingbao School. As time came, the young people who followed him had a place to go. With Li Yuchun's recommendation, Xia Xiping came to the General Affairs Bureau of the Assistant Department to be responsible for statistics. His boss was Tian Jitang.

Tian Jitang was very busy and asked him to summarize and verify the accounts everywhere. The things in front of him were handed over to the young people in the department to do. Fortunately, Xia Xiping and others did not let down their responsibilities and handled everything very clearly.

In the early days of the country, there was only one guard commander, then two co-prime ministers, two assistants, and five thousand households, one thousand households and ten hundred households. In addition, there were auxiliary institutions such as the Qing Military Department and the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education, which could implement military laws, assist in some literary and artistic work, or help handle matters such as people's sentiments.

The affairs of the garrison are nothing more than military farming, training, storage, squads, as well as military inspectors, police, posts, guards, garrisons, etc. If they are in the canal area, the most important work is the transportation of the canal area. If they are in Shandong and Henan, the most important work is the Ban Cao army. At the beginning of the country, the Ban Cao army was very important. Each garrison sent people to pay money and grain, and took turns to the capital and waited for important places to guard and defend. Each garrison was responsible for money and grain. Each garrison was like capillaries, constantly transfusion of blood to key places such as the capital.

Later, the logistics was taken away by civil servants. The military officers were only responsible for command. The civil servants provided logistics along the way. Usually, civil servants were responsible for logistics management. The military began to develop in the direction of beggars. Then, when they arrived in the capital, they no longer used guard and defense, but kept repairing projects, such as the construction of imperial palaces, imperial tombs, Great Wall, capital city walls, etc.

The garrison was better, and the military officers had more power. In order to prevent military officers from embezzling or forcing the small army, the state distributed a large amount of land to each officer. However, the fact is that the officers reasonably and legally obtained more land, turning the small army into their own tenants, and the garrison was even less capable of combat.
