The two of them filled their stomachs and did not go on the road immediately. Instead, they made a pot of hot tea to eat.

Seeing that he looked content and not worried at all, Murong Li couldn't help but ask.

"What are your plans for the gathering place?"

Previously, Shi Qing only told Jamuka that he wanted to rebuild, but even Murong Li didn't know how to rebuild.

It's not easy to build a camp for a thousand people, let alone build it outside the city, on the only way to the Mongolian invasion. Isn't this delivering food to people?

Of course Murong Li knew that Shi Qing was not stupid, he must have his own plan for doing this, so he asked and wanted to know what Shi Qing's plan was.

Shi Qingming smiled and dazzled Murong Li, then listened to what he said.

"Truce zone, do you understand what it means?"

Without waiting for Murong Li to answer, Shi Qing continued.

"I want Kuju to become a special area, where people from Ningyuan and Mobei can enter. It will not participate in national wars, and those who enter cannot fight there, otherwise I will be expelled from the place of suffering..."

After hearing this, Murong Li frowned.

"Do you want to build a country called China?"

Shi Qing was stunned, "A country of China? Is this even possible? I don't even want to be an official, let alone build a country!"

"Then how can you do what you said about people who do not distinguish between the two countries and do not participate in the war between the two countries? This land belongs to the Ningyuan Kingdom. If you want the Mobei countries to enter, how can Ningyuan agree?"

"Isn't this to allow the two parties to have a peaceful place to carry out trade? If it is built in the city, it will be more dangerous and we will not allow those people to enter the city, and we can't go deep into Mobei to do business with people, right? , It’s not that I’m afraid, but the risk of transporting along the way is too great. Once something goes wrong, I’m afraid it will become the reason for war between the two countries.”

After Shi Qing finished speaking, he thought for a moment, but what Murong Li said was a question. Although he didn't have this intention, he couldn't bear the emperor's heart being unpredictable. If he trusted him, there would be nothing to say, but once he lost the emperor's heart one day, This became his evidence!

"Send the message! Ask Your Majesty for instructions. Your Majesty will make the decision."

Even if there are potential risks, then put it on the table and leave it to the emperor to choose. He is free to bear any risks.

"You also know that I have some gadgets that can be sent thousands of miles away. I will send the message to my uncle now and ask him to convey it to King Ning'an. I will leave it to His Majesty to decide. Is it okay?"

Murong Li did not comment on this.

"Then how are you going to build it? It's not good if it takes too long."

"There's no need to worry. Along the way, I didn't just sleep on the carriage. I found that there are a lot of ores here, one of which is very useful for construction. It can greatly shorten the time and is extremely strong. Take advantage of it now We just have time to get some."

After saying that, he stood up and put everything into the space.

Murong Li shook his head helplessly when he saw him saying that the wind was like the rain, but what could he do? He could only accompany him~

Although there was no one around, the two of them did not intend to fly with their swords, but continued to ride on horseback.

It was a limestone deposit located in the Haibo Bay area.

Yes, what Shi Qing discovered was limestone!

This is a good thing.

Limestone is a carbonate mineral whose main component is calcium carbonate. Limestone is mostly white or gray in color and soft in texture.

The main use of limestone is to manufacture lime, cement, glass and other building materials. It can also be used in metallurgy, chemical industry, pharmaceutical and other fields.

Shi Qing was originally planning to buy cement from the system, but on this border, it would be bad to expose too many anomalies and lead to fatal disasters, and to build a camp, the amount would be quite large, so he couldn't bear to use his gold coins to buy cement. .

Since there was a lot of limestone here, there was no need for him to waste gold coins.

The stones were large, and the exposed areas were covered with a layer of white ash. The texture of these limestones was not hard, so the two used their spiritual power to chop hard at the deposits.

I saw those huge rocks bursting open and scattered around them.

They don't need to pick it up with their own hands, they just need to use their spiritual power to cover the limestone and then put it into the ring space.

A space ring can hold nearly five thousand kilograms of stone. Shi Qing still doesn't know how much quicklime can be refined from these limestones. He stopped after installing two rings.

"Let's just have this much for now. If it's not enough, we'll let people mine it. I think there's quite a lot of mine in this area. Let's go back and talk to Mr. Guo. There will definitely be a lot of demand for this limestone in the future!"

Murong Li didn't talk nonsense and simply replied with the word "hmm".

After everything was packed up, the two of them went back.

Returning to the inn in Fengji City, the guards guarded them diligently and saluted them when they saw them.

At this time, in the inn, the civil servants were gathering together to chat, and at the same time preparing pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

Today, under the leadership of two commanders Li, they found Guo Xiangyang and explained His Majesty's request to him.

The opening of trade does not stop once and for all. They cannot live in the inn all the time, and trade is not just about selling things, they also have to collect things. Today's inn is very crowded to store the food. If something goes wrong, all of them will No one can bear this responsibility.

Guo Xiangyang was His Majesty's man, so he would not embarrass them. He cooperated very well and had people bring the layout of the city and let them choose their own place.

These civil servants were the most difficult to deal with. Guo Xiangyang, a state official who also served as a border general, felt a headache when he saw these civil servants.

Just like now, in order to choose a venue, a group of civil servants, young and old, put forward their own opinions, and then the discussion continued like this.

The two Li brothers were not interested in this either, so they naturally sat down with Guo Xiangyang.

These people came early in the morning. Guo Xiangyang was doing morning exercises. He didn't want to keep people waiting, so he went to the lobby with his mace in hand and welcomed them in.

Therefore, the two brothers of the Li family saw the silver-black mace.

They naturally knew these two maces. They were given to Guo Xiangqian by Shi Qing after Li Shiwen competed with Guo Xiangqian.

Guo Xiangqian liked it very much at first, and even though it was very heavy, he carried it everywhere he went. However, a month later, he was never seen carrying this mace again. It turned out that it was given to Guo Xiangyang.

Noticing their gazes, Guo Xiangyang also guessed what the two were thinking.

"This was given to me by my second brother. Thank you Mr. Yan for the gift. Xiang Xiang also liked it very much, but he thought that I needed it more for guarding at the border, so he gave it to me. Please don't mind our rudeness. .”

"No, no, Shi Qing doesn't care about this. Since it was given to brother Qiang, it's his business how to deal with it. There's nothing rude about it."

Seeing their natural expressions, Guo Xiangyang also relaxed a lot.

Although he got to know a few people a little bit from his brother's letter, he had never gotten along with them. Now that he saw their openness and generosity, Guo Xiangyang was naturally very happy.

These people spend a lot of time at the border, so it would be better if they can get along well with each other.

The three of them were chatting and waiting for the group of civil servants to come up with a conclusion. However, it was obvious that they all underestimated the ink marks of these people. It was almost noon and these people were not sure. In the end, they could only wait for the fourth prince to come back before making a decision!

The three people rolled their eyes unconsciously, so it is not unreasonable for the civil and military officials to be at odds~
