I do research in ancient times

Feng Kai's eyes followed the young man's slender fingers, turning around on the simple birch bark puzzle.

This is really a big circle, not only including the entire hinterland of Niubei Mountain, but also extending to Jiuling Lake, which is about tens of miles away.

Although Jiuling Lake is not big, its location is just stuck on the edge of the hinterland of Niubei Mountain, and it is not yet within Mozong's sphere of influence.

Once there is Jiuling Lake, Mo Zong will occupy the entire hinterland of Niubei Mountain. It is far easier to defend with the help of Niubei Mountain's mountain shape than it is now surrounded by wilderness on three sides.

Moreover, Niubei Mountain is not very useful to the Feng family.

Of course, Hu Qi could take advantage of the high slope of Niubei Mountain and dive directly to the foot of Xiguan City. However, the premise of doing so was that Hu Qi could find a way to cross the cliffs in the north of Niubei Mountain, and pull his horse and people to the gentle slope in the south of the mountain where Mozong was located.And this is almost impossible.

Therefore, Hu Qi's current strategy can only choose to infiltrate Shituoling from the two wings, use scattered bandits to attack the outposts of the border city and harass the villages, and dare not advance to the front of Ding'an City.Since Ning Fei was rescued last time, Yongxiguan has repeatedly suppressed the front line of Shituoling, and now even the scattered bandits don't come to die.

Feng Kai raised his head, his knife-like eyes fixed on the boy's face.

He really didn't expect that Mo Zong, a little boy, would ask for a territory.Jiuling Lake is not difficult for a strong man, because he originally planned to send troops after the winter to take the initiative to attack Huqi on the grassland south road, and Jiuling Lake is just on the east edge of his advancing direction, as long as he slightly adjusts the direction of some troops, he can Expel the Hu Qi entrenched here.

As the army advances to the north, Jiuling Lake has also changed from the edge of the front line to the hinterland, and there is no need to reintegrate the existing layout.

To Feng Kai, giving Mo Zong Jiuling Lake is nothing.But only he and his own father, Feng Dahu, knew about this troop plan, and there was no possibility of it being leaked out. How did this young man guess it?

If he hadn't guessed that he had an aggressive plan, how could the opponent accurately draw the territory request he could accept? !Is it really a coincidence that he won't be whimsical, difficult to achieve, and just grasp the bottom line that he can compromise?

Thinking of this, Feng Kai's eyes turned slightly cold.

Jiuling Lake is useless to him, but given to Mo Zong, it will allow the young man to complete the map of the hinterland of Niubei Mountain.This is not just a matter of having an extra water source, but also having the capital to develop behind closed doors.As for the partner, the Feng family, once they made this agreement with Mo Zong, they would no longer be able to request land from Niubei Mountain, which would be equivalent to dividing up a piece of land outside the pass, just like Yunfu Mountain back then.

Of course, for the current Feng family, this is not all a bad thing.Niubei Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it was of little use. If it was occupied by Mo Zong, Mo Zong would definitely defend it, but Ding'an City would be safe.

And rather than water sources, this is intended to be self-sufficient and has no other ambitions.

Feng Kai wasn't really afraid of Mo Zong's two and a half people, but he was a little wary of things that were too coincidental.He didn't speak, and Ning Fei was not in a hurry.

He just sat aside and waited obediently, secretly changing positions from time to time, his sore and numb calves were slowly being pressed.

He is still not used to sitting on his knees. Although this sitting posture is solemn, it will cause blood vessels in the legs to become blocked after a long time, and it is easy to become bow-legged. Didn't the ancients feel uncomfortable? !

Regarding the condition of Jiuling Lake, Ning Fei had carefully considered it.He referred to the terrain and mineral distribution of the system block diagram, and thought for several nights before making a decision.

Mozong is short of water and lack of water conservancy. Jiuling Lake is the closest water system to Wubao.It is said that when the Five Dynasties inspected the terrain, it was not that they did not move their minds. It is just that the barbarians lived after water and grass. There are often barbarian haunts near Jiuling Lake, and there is no danger to defend. Given the actual situation of Mozong's lack of manpower, according to Jiuling It is not realistic to build Linghu.

But Ning Fei is bound to win Jiuling Lake!

Among other things, there are two or three minerals around Jiuling Lake that he must get.The lack of water is just an excuse, and he is also afraid that if he is too eager, it will make the Feng family and his brother Muye suspicious, and then focus on the fat in his mouth.

Even for the map on the birch bark, he intentionally adopted the brushwork of soul painters, not revealing too much about his understanding of the terrain of mountains and rivers, but also allowing Brother Mu Ye to roughly understand it, which can be described as well-intentioned.

After pondering for a while, the man finally nodded.

"can."

He raised his eyes, and his phoenix pupils were shining brightly.

"Then, on behalf of the Yongxiguan Feng clan, I made an agreement with Mozong:"

"The Feng family cooperates with Mo Zong to make cement. If the output is for Yongxiguan's own use, Mo Zong will be paid [-]% of the cost as a reward. If it is exported to other places, the profits will be divided [-]-[-]."

"Before this winter, the Feng family gave Mozong 150 pigs, including no less than 75 breeding pigs."

"If the Feng family sends troops outside the pass in the future, Jiuling Lake can be owned by Mo Zong. If we make a contract today, we will sincerely fulfill the contract!"

After finishing speaking, Feng Kai picked up his pen and wandered around the silk on the table, then got up and held the written agreement in front of Ning Fei, waiting for the other party's answer.

Juzi bowed his head and read silently. After confirming that it was correct, he wrote his name on it and signed it with Juzi Order.

Although his face remained calm, his heart was filled with joy.

Sure enough, I saw the right person!He, Brother Mu Ye, is a generous partner. Not only did he not bargain for the investment, but he also gave a lot of condolences!Just ask where can I find such a rich father? !

Holding the signed contract in front of Feng Kai, the young man's delicate face was full of solemnity.

"I made a contract today, and I will keep my promise. Brother Mu Ye is a man of promise. I hope you and I will cooperate sincerely and help each other and benefit each other."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Feng Kai.

Feng Kai was taken aback for a moment, then reached out his hand and grabbed his.

The same slender fingers, one is vigorous and powerful, and the other is slightly fragile. When they are held tightly together, there is a strong and strange visual impact.

The two parties signed a contract, and both Mr. Xie and Mr. Feng are witnesses.Yong Xiguan promised to send the first batch of pigs to Mozongwu Castle in three days; and Ning Fei put the raw material list for firing cement in front of Feng Kai on the spot.

"That's all?"

The man raised his eyebrows.

After receiving the cement from Xiao Juzi, he quickly arranged for experienced old craftsmen in the city to try to imitate it.Several groups of people researched for three days and three nights, and although the finished product that finally came out looked similar to Mozong cement, it was far from the same in nature, only slightly better than ordinary mortar.

It's not that the craftsman didn't pay attention, Feng Kai once saw an old mason put cement into his mouth, trying to distinguish the composition of it by the taste.But no matter how they tried, the final result was a failure, and they were still unable to achieve the effect of doubling the strength after solidification.

"That's really it!"

The boy opened his eyes wide and explained anxiously:

"The raw materials for making cement are not expensive, otherwise, with my Mozong situation, I wouldn't be able to build Wubao at all!"

"We have worked hard on the craftsmanship. Some materials need to be specially processed to have the current effect. If you don't believe me, brother Muye, you can try it yourself after you get the process flow chart! I guarantee the reputation of the great virtue saint, and I will definitely cooperate with you." It is exactly the same as the one we sent to your house before!

Hearing what he said, Feng Kai showed no expression, but a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

He and his father Feng Daduhu also discussed the production of cement.Guessing that Mo Zongxu used some precious material that they don't know, the initial price estimate of cement is much higher than it is now.

When Ning Fei offered 10% of the cost as a condition for remuneration, Feng Kai was ready to be slashed.After all, if the raw materials are too expensive, they will not only have to bear the high cost, but also send a considerable amount to Mozong, which is not a burden.

But even so, the Feng family still had to grit their teeth and carry it.

In the short term, there may be blood loss, but if you take a long-term view and have a steady stream of cement, the front-line docks and checkpoints will greatly increase the combat power, which can reduce the burden of defense and curb battle damage. The money is well spent.

If these raw materials...

The cost is so weak that it can be ignored, and Ning Juzi's sincerity is beyond doubt!

Thinking of this, those previous suspicions and doubts were temporarily pressed into the bottom of my heart.The young man in front of him was extremely anxious, his eyes were clear and full of grievances, his heart softened suddenly, and he felt a little guilty.

I always feel that I have plotted against an innocent little animal, and even cheated people of their winter food reserves.

That's it.

The man lowered his eyebrows sharply.

In the future, take care of him more.

Anyway, sooner or later, the South Road Grassland will be brought back.At that time, not to mention Jiuling Lake, even the wilderness north of Jiuling Lake can be handed over to Mo Zong, enough for Xiao Juzi to herd sheep and pigs.

Ning Fei didn't know that brother Mu Ye was helping him to draw grass in his heart, he saw the man kept bowing his head, didn't say a word, and couldn't tell what his thoughts were.

Ning Zazi secretly felt bad, thinking that the duck with its beak was about to fly away.

This is not allowed!He's got it all figured out!Not to mention the breeding pigs that can be obtained by cooperating with the Feng family, after the spring of next year, there is no need to worry about Wubao's safety, and he can concentrate on developing his main task.

If brother Mu Ye is strong enough, he can still get a Jiuling Lake, and the water conservancy can be started!

Thinking of this, Ning Fei gritted his teeth and decided to gamble on his brother Mu Ye's character.

"I'll give you the craft diagram right now! Brother Mu Ye can find someone to experiment on the spot, and if it doesn't work, kill me on the spot."

As he spoke, he took out a roll of birch bark from his pocket and put it on the desk, his fair face flushed red, and the corners of his eyes were slightly pink.

The young Juzi expressed his eagerness to cooperate so bluntly, like a little fool who pushed his last card to the other party, and was afraid that the other party would not believe him.

If Feng Kai is not honest, just cheated the formula and then kicked him out, Ning Fei has nothing to do.

But he believed in his own eyesight. He felt that the man in front of him was cunning, but he was not a greedy and short-sighted person. Feng Kai should know which one is better between a cement formula and a Mo Zong who has the technical ability to make cement. important.

Even if you lose the bet, that's okay.

Ning Fei is extremely calm now.

It's just a small price to prove that I was wrong, and I also screened out an unqualified partner.

Although Yu Mozong suffered some losses, it was far from being injured.He also has coke, blast furnace ironmaking, steel frying method, and even more high-end steel pouring method!Calculated from him, he will find a way to double the money one day!

Thus, the excited and anxious boy on the outside was scrutinizing his handsome and impeccable partner with incomparable ruthlessness in his heart.

Once the opponent's performance is not to his liking, he will veto it with one vote and will not give any more chances.

"Non-brother".

Feng Kai's voice was very low, with an alluring magnetism.

He didn't even look at the roll of bark on the table, as if it never existed, but suddenly reached out and stroked the young man's soft hair.

"No need, I believe you won't lie to me."

he said softly.

"Brother Fei has believed in me so far, and is the most refined and sincere, how can Kai fail the king?"

"Just as you and I agreed before, if there is a need, we must first send a message to brother. Brother will definitely try his best to help."
