第1953章 大戟横江(1)(1 / 2)

市井百姓,盖房子是头等大事,而寓意新房建成的架起横梁,又是第一等大事。那么一国州郡或是边塞要隘,城池或是军镇建成之日,挂匾的寓意就等于寻常人家的起梁,故而意义重要。

今日凉州关外这座城便就到了挂匾的日子,没有刻意挑选良辰吉日,而是在最后一面主城墙彻底完工之时,就一致通过决议,当日挂匾,不得延误!并非督造建城的那一大帮北凉大佬不在乎,实在是形势紧迫,顾不得那些锦上添花的事情。否则以北凉道经略使李功德领衔的那拨文官,在这鸟不拉屎的地方待了将近一整年,几乎人人每天都要跟着将士役夫一同吃黄土喝风沙,投注了那么多心血,岂会不想找个黄道吉日挂起那块匾额?这种深厚感情,也许不比闺女出嫁来得少了。

这座城池的建造,可能称得上前无古人后无来者,不但规模犹胜西北第一边城虎头城,而且耗时更少,除去一万大雪龙骑军,以及“渭熊”“脂虎”两支重骑军九千余骑,几乎所有凉州边军都轮换参与城池建造,当然也征调了关内凉陵幽三州所有军户匠户青壮,加上络绎不绝自己前往凉州关外的北凉百姓,建城人数始终大致维持在十数万左右。历史上所谓以举国之力建造一座雄城巨镇,往往还讲究节约民力不误农时,大多是“三十日罢,速建面墙”,然后断断续续历时数年才得以竣工,可北凉这次几乎耗尽清凉山徐家家底的大兴土木,根本就是破釜沉舟一般的壮举,仅是用以版筑主墙的黄土,就挖空了城南龙首、虎尾两座小山!

才清晨拂晓时分,李功德便和比邻而居、担任督造副使的那位墨家矩子宋长穗,一起早早相约起床,登上城头后,漫步在那条宽阔的走马道之上,不知何时体重已经清瘦了二十斤的经略使大人,下意识习惯地跺了跺脚,双鬓霜白的老人然后得意一笑,有我铁公鸡李功德一天到晚瞪大眼睛盯着,能有谁偷工减料?何况也绝不会有谁胆敢懈怠,这不光是什么银子不银子的事情,而是一个最浅显的道理摆在所有人面前,“此城在凉州在,此城亡关内亡”!一辈子在官场上顺风顺水养尊处优的北凉文官领袖,虽然模样消瘦许多,但是身子骨瞧着倒是硬朗许多,如果陵州官场文官能够来此,看到这位李大人一定会大吃一惊,甚至恐怕都要认不出来,李功德身上那种公门修行积攒大半辈子的油滑之气尽褪,取而代之的,是无形中散发那种唯有出身将种门庭才能有的豪迈气概。老人到底是文人出身,伸手摸着内侧矮墙,嘿嘿笑道:“以往在清凉山那座武多文少的议事堂,总是听不明白大将军跟那些糙汉子在说什么,什么走马道啊女儿墙啊,我是到了这里才恍然大悟,就像这堵女儿墙,其实早就在书籍上打过交道了,好些边塞诗文里头都吟唱过,名‘睥睨’嘛,女儿墙女儿墙,还是这个叫法好听顺耳,每次在这城头走一遭,我都要想起家里负真那个让人不省心的丫头,以前吧,是翰林那家伙让咱这当爹娘的倍感无奈,风水轮流转呐!如今想来,还是大将军有先见之明,说世间父女养儿女,往往是越往后,儿子越好养活,女儿倒是越麻烦。”

宋长穗沉声道:“老李,你也知我从不是那种喜欢夸人的人,你家翰林,真是不错。龙眼儿平原一战,打得漂亮!北莽董卓麾下乌鸦栏子在内,所有精锐斥候全军覆没,这一仗,委实大快人心!”

嘴唇干裂的李功德捻须而笑,“对嘛,这种事情,就得外人来夸才舒服,我当爹的说再多总是味道不对。说实话,老宋,你也真够沉得住气,我等你这些话可等了好一段时间了!把我给憋得都快憋出内伤了。”

宋长穗无奈道,“在这之前忙得焦头烂额,哪有半点气力跟你说些闲话。”

李功德感慨道:“倒也是,我自诩这辈子当官颇有心得,总之成天琢磨来琢磨去,都在琢磨别人,虽说也不能说全然不做事,可如这般事必躬亲,无法想象,感觉就像在短短一年里,把我李功德一辈子欠下的官场务实都给还上了。”

宋长穗会心一笑。

李功德突然一巴掌重重拍在箭垛上,大声道:“这么好的城墙,如果还是守不住的话,别说被北莽蛮子杀了,就是骂也要被我骂个半死!”

宋长穗愣了愣,然后环顾四周,城内外又是那副最熟悉不过的建城场景,号子声此起彼伏,虽说脚下这座巨城已经可以挂匾,可依然有相当规模的工程要继续,这位墨家矩子轻声笑问道:“你当真舍得骂他们?”

原本气势汹汹的李功德顿时气焰全无,只是轻声呢喃道:“这么多北凉边军儿郎……我李功德便是舍得骂儿子,也舍不得骂他们啊。”

新任凉州刺史白煜可以前往武当山会友偷闲,作为北凉道转运使兼副节度使的某人,则片刻不得闲,他一路马不停蹄地从流州青苍城、再途经凉州西大门户的清源军镇,直到掀起车帘子就能够望见那座关外雄城的轮廓。好像徐北枳自打离开清凉山前往陵州那一刻起,就一直在奔波劳碌,当买米刺史,在辖境各地大建粮仓,担任一道转运使,运筹帷幄漕运一事,中间还曾去两淮道跟韩林私下会晤,前不久去往西域烂陀山,为流州青苍城防线带去两万僧兵,这次参加完挂匾仪式,立即就又要去往陵州,亲自盯着漕粮入凉才肯放心。

他这些年居无定所,似乎不是在马背上,就是在马车里,反正都颠簸。
