After pondering for a while, Bai Meng asked: "How can I make it the fastest?"

A stonemason shouted, "I wonder what the cute king wants to do with the stone box?"

This was nothing to hide from others, so Bai Meng told the truth.

"I want to leave something for future generations, and this stone box is used to hold it. Eventually, I need to find a place to bury it underground."

Hearing this, the stonemasons began to whisper to each other again.

Qiu Ren also just knew the purpose of Bai Meng's stone boxes.

I couldn't help but look at him, secretly wondering if Bai Meng had any other ideas besides this.

The stonemasons studied it for a while, and the old man said, "The fastest way to make a wooden box is definitely to make it in a few days, but it's not easy to preserve."

"If you just want to bury it underground, we have a way."

Bai Meng's eyes lit up: "What method?"

Afterwards, the stonemasons started talking at once, sharing the solutions they had come up with on the spur of the moment.

From time to time, someone would suddenly come up with a new idea and join in.

After listening for a while, Bai Meng, who had worked on a construction site before, instantly understood what the method they were talking about.

Pouring!

First dig a pit of the required depth and lay stone slabs underneath.

Use wooden boards or stone slabs as partitions on all sides, and then pour in mud mixed with clay and lime!

Capping is also simple.

First cover it with wooden boards, then stone slabs, fill the gaps with clay, and finally pour mud on it.

After it dries, spread a layer of burnt soil on it and tamp it down to complete the job.

The stonemasons made an estimate and since it only needed to be used to store things, the space required wouldn't be large and the materials wouldn't be much.

After finding a place, the work can be completed in about five or six days. The longest time is the drying process. If the weather is good, it can be even faster.

"Okay! Let's do it this way!"

Apart from this method, Bai Meng couldn't find a better one, so he decided to do it immediately.

Bai Meng had worked in a related job before, although due to his age he did not work there for a long time and did not know much.

But he still knew the ratio of lime and clay.

Even the stonemasons were told how to use sand, coal and iron slag.

The stonemasons were overjoyed, as if they had found a treasure. They wrote down this precious knowledge for fear of forgetting it.

Everyone chatted animatedly for a while, then Bai Meng got up and returned to the palace.

Bai Meng still has a lot of things to do, such as leaving messages on the stone slab and choosing a site.

Besides, it’s getting dark now, and I still have to accompany my lovely wife to drink and have fun.

Although living in ancient times, Bai Meng still had so many things to do, which was not easy.

"Oh, what a hard life!"

After saying goodbye to Qiu Ren, Bai Meng looked at the palace with bright lights not far away, sighed, and ran in quickly.

As the palace door closed, it separated the inside and the outside.

The most primitive and important movement of all living things began under the illumination of the ancient moon.

Soon, clouds emerged from the nearby mountains, and the distant peaks greedily swallowed them up.

The partridges are crying and the rain has stopped in the mountains; the stone bridge and the small stream are making clear sounds.

After the rain stopped and the clouds cleared, Bai Meng hugged Yan Huan and took a short nap, then put on his clothes and got up to work.

Bai Meng sat at the desk, picked up the brush, dipped it in graphite, and began to write on the wood chip.

Yan Huan lying on the bed quietly opened her eyes and looked at Bai Meng who was busy at the desk. The emotions revealed in her eyes were complex and difficult to understand.

Bai Meng kept writing and drawing until late at night before putting Yu down.

Looking at the wooden pieces on the table covered with autumn writings, a sense of accomplishment arises from the bottom of my heart.

"This is Qiuwen, which has never been discovered in modern times!"

"And I can even use it to write an article, hehe."

After talking to himself happily for a while, Bai Meng got up and returned to the bed, hugged his beautiful wife, and closed his eyes happily.

The next day, after having breakfast with Yan Huan, Bai Meng handed the wooden piece he had written at night to Qiu Ren and asked him to arrange for craftsmen to carve the words.

Then he asked Jie for a group of guards and went out of the city to survey the site.

The environment where the capital of the Kingdom of Daqiu is located is quite complex, with mountains, hills and plains.

Yucheng was built on a plain, with a big river in the south of the city and a mountain range in the north.

Apart from the areas surrounding the city, many places are still desolate.

Although Bai Meng knew about the Great Qiu Kingdom, he was not sure where it was located, let alone which river it was or which mountain it was.

But if you want to find what you buried thousands of years later, you need a timeless coordinate.

The first choice is definitely Dashan!

But now the problem is, what Bai Meng can think of, those tomb robbers in the future can definitely think of as well!

"Where should I choose?"

Standing on a hill, Bai Meng looked at the river in the distance, frowning and thinking.

"If you change your mindset, it should be possible."

Bai Meng turned and walked down the hill, leading his guards towards the river ahead.

"As for the coordinates, the river is fine, but I'm worried it might change its course."

"Then use the mountain behind as the first coordinate, and then find the way to this river."

"Even if the diversion route dries up, I'll still be able to find it!"

"For the second coordinate, let's bury it facing the gate of Yucheng!"

The more Bai Meng thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea.

Although I don’t know where this is now, I should be able to find it out by checking it on my phone after returning to the modern era.

It should be easy to find it by just following the coordinates, unless it has been stolen.

"Let it be, and do it!"

"As long as we dig deeper and camouflage it well when we cover the soil, there will be no problem."

"No one would have thought that I hid the things right under their feet, right?"

"Ha ha!"

The road to the river is not a deserted area. There are many cultivated fields on the roadside, and our ancestors are working in them.

In order to prevent being discovered, Bai Meng came up with another idea.

He quickly called two guards and said, "Go back and find Qiu Ren and ask him to send some craftsmen. I want to build a few earth walls beside the river."

The solution Bai Meng came up with was also very simple, which was to build a few walls that could block the view.

After use, there is no need to dismantle all of it. Part of it can be donated to nearby fishermen, and the rest can be camouflaged so that people can't tell what is going on here.

As for those craftsmen, Bai Meng believed that even if the Great Qiu Kingdom was destroyed, they would not tell anyone.

After all, there was nothing good in it, just some stone slabs with words engraved on them.

Determine the location and insert the wooden pole painted blue.

Bai Meng and his men continued to survey the area nearby. They selected a few more locations, inserted wooden poles, and then began to rest.

Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a team of several hundred people slowly came from the direction of Yucheng, with several large wooden carts carrying the tools needed to build the earth wall.

The team is led by a military general who will be stationed here with his guards to drive away wild beasts and protect the safety of the craftsmen.

Bai Meng hurriedly stood up to greet them: "I am sorry to bother you soldiers for a little matter of mine. You must be tired from walking. Come and take a rest."

The general said respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness, King Meng, but we need to survey the surrounding area first and set up traps to prevent beasts."

Grabbing the general's arm, Bai Meng smiled and said, "I have already surveyed the area with my guards. Just let them tell the general about the surrounding situation."

"You've been tired on the journey. Let's take a rest first before setting the trap."

Seeing this situation, the general couldn't go against Bai Meng's wishes, so he ordered the guards to go in batches to rest and enjoy the cool air.

The craftsmen also took the opportunity to rest and hid in the shade under the trees beside the road.

A minor official in black clothes, led by two old craftsmen, followed Bai Meng and the general to the resting place.

This minor official must have been sent by Mu Zheng, and he is the official in charge of collective labor.

Bai Meng ignored him and directly told the craftsman his needs.

"The wall doesn't need to be too high or too big, as long as it can block the view."

"I have chosen the locations and inserted wooden poles. There are about seven or eight of them. How long do you think it will take to build them?"

The old craftsman calculated for a while and replied: "Seven or eight places are too many, but if they are just to block the view, they can be built by this time tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Bai Meng was delighted and continued, "The blue wooden pole is where we really need to dig. I have already drawn the size. If we want to dig three people deep, how long will it take?"

The old craftsman answered without hesitation: "The soil here is moist and soft, easy to dig. If it is not too big, it will only take a moment."

As expected of a professional!

Bai Meng excitedly gave a thumbs up and praised, "Great! After the success, I will treat you all to a drink!"

The officials and craftsmen all bowed and said, "Thank you, King Meng!"
