This land was contracted by me [farming]

As soon as Chu Wenjue entered the gate of Jing'an Mansion, he was spotted by two guards sent by Zhou Jingren to squat.One went back to report to Zhou Jingren, and the other handed over the jade token given by Zhou Jingren, and asked Chu Wenjue for permission to lead the way.

The carriage followed the guards, avoiding people's eyes and ears along the way, and turned into a small courtyard in an alley.

The moon was already in the sky outside, and Zhou Jingren was still so cautious, which made Chu Wenjue realize that something had happened.

After sitting for a while, Zhou Jingren came with one person.Both of them were wearing dark robes and cloaks, and covered their faces with hats, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Your Majesty, I will see you." The two saluted, and Chu Wenjue raised his hand, asking them to find a place to sit down.

After finding a seat and sitting down, the two lifted off the caps on the cloaks to reveal their true faces.

When Chu Wenjue saw one of them, he couldn't help but frowned, "Old Feng, shouldn't you be in the mutual market supervisor at this time, planning with Xie Xiang the official trade meeting between the Dayuan and Huaixi clans in the near future?"

Feng Yushan lowered his eyes, his wrinkled face was full of sadness.Although he didn't know how to speak, he still bit the bullet and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xie is missing."

Chu Wenjue heard the words, and said lightly: "Missing? When did it happen?"

Feng Yushan cupped his hands and replied: "Two days ago, after Prime Minister Xie disappeared, the veteran did not dare to publicize it. So he handed over the affairs of the mutual market supervision to Fang Jiancheng, and told his subordinates that the veteran and Prime Minister Xie would go back to Jing'an In fact, the veteran came to Jing'an Mansion alone to report to His Majesty."

Chu Wenjue suddenly thought of something, looked at the hidden guard beside him and asked, "Have you not received any news about such a big matter?"

The hidden guards shook their heads, "My subordinates have left secret marks along the way. If someone comes to notify us, they won't miss us."

Chu Wenjue touched his chin and couldn't help thinking.He had already sent someone to watch Xie Xuan in the dark, and he had to come forward to report any disturbance.When necessary, Xie Xuan should be led to rebel and escape from Dayuan.

Now that I think about it carefully, there is indeed no news of Xie Xuan from the hidden guards sent before.

There is no news about the line of the dark guard, it seems that Xie Xuan discovered it early in the morning.

However, although the process was different from what he thought, the net was cast out after all.

"Old Feng, tell me carefully what happened before and after Prime Minister Xie's disappearance."

Feng Yushan nodded and recalled: "The night before the incident, Prime Minister Xie asked Fang Jiancheng to take him to see the cement workshop.

According to Fang Jiancheng, Xie Xiang stayed there all night.The next morning, we made an appointment to discuss the matter of Huaixi's replenishment of Dayuan's spare goods last time. There was no one in the room, and we found them in the cement workshop.

After discussing the matter, we happened to meet the Qingyuguan barracks delivering iron ore to us.Xie Xiang said that he would go to the military camp to see his son.

At that time, Fang Jiancheng also followed, and the mutual market supervisor couldn't leave alone.

After returning, Xie Xiang's face was very bad.I asked Fang Jiancheng for questioning, and he said that Mr. Xie beat his son half to death for some reason. "

At this point, Feng Yushan couldn't help but said: "I also heard rumors in Fengyang before that Mr. Xie didn't like the sixth son born to that prostitute.

But it's too unreasonable to come all the way from thousands of miles just to beat people half to death.

The man disappeared the day after he returned from Qingyuguan barracks. "

Chu Wenjue leaned on the back of the chair and tapped the table with his fingertips.

It turned out that Chu Wenjue originally wanted the dark guard to find an opportunity to "unintentionally" inform him of Zhao Gongming's death, and wanted him to fight back.

The dark guards helped him escape from Dayuan and sneak into Beidan.Chu Wenjue once gave Xie Xuan some wrong information, Xie Xuan will definitely use these secrets as a stepping stone to enter Beidan, and Dayuan will know in advance at that time, so he can take it in one fell swoop.

But people are not as good as heaven, but Xie Xuan ran to the barracks by himself.

He also got rid of the hidden guards and escaped through some unknown means.

"Old Feng, when you go back, tell the market supervisor to watch over the cement workshop. I will order Marshal Huo to send some troops there, just in case."

Feng Yushan was puzzled and asked, "Why is this, Your Majesty?"

The matter of Xie Xuan has been settled, so it's better to tell Feng Yushan so that he can have an idea.

"There is General Zhao Gongming in the Qingyuguan military camp. He and Xie Xuan have long colluded with the Beidan foreigners. The previous two Qingyuguan battles were all written by these two people.

Zhao Gongming tried to escape a few days ago, but was discovered by the hidden guards and killed on the spot.

Xie Xuan went to the Qingyuguan barracks this time, presumably because he knew that Zhao Gongming was dead.I also know that I have laid a net of heaven and earth this time, just to catch the turtle in the urn.

I was indeed well prepared before, but I missed the cement workshop of the Mutual Market Supervisor.

Xie Xuan is a resourceful person. Without 100% certainty of the authenticity, he would not use the military secrets that I said unintentionally before as a life-saving talisman.

The cement was what he saw with his own eyes, and no accident he would use the cement formula as his negotiating qualification with Bei Dan.

Beidan is likely to bypass Qingyuguan and attack the mutual market supervisor. "

Feng Yushan was shocked, he quickly stood up and expressed his opinion, "The old minister will rush back to the exchange market overnight."

Chu Wenjue sent several secret guards to escort Feng Yushan back. After he left, before dawn, Chu Wenjue asked the secret guards to call for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The name of this minister of the Ministry of Industry is Shen Songbai, who is young but has outstanding skills.With extraordinary craftsmanship, he lowered the average age of the six ministers by himself.

However, this man is also a person with personality, he has never made jewelry, and he is obsessed with researching how to make the existing bows and arrows more powerful every day.

When the person was brought in, the four characters "I'm not happy" were written all over his face.

After saluting, Chu Wenjue made people sit down and asked, "Did I disturb Shen Shangshu's dream?"

Shen Songbai curled his lips and said: "That's not true, I'm still asleep. But your majesty, let's talk about it, do you still want to wear a bow?"

As soon as Shen Songbai started talking, he was full of resentment, "I originally said that I wanted to study in Fengyang with peace of mind, but it turned out that the six books are indispensable.

It's agreed to come to Jing'an Mansion, and I will set up a separate yard for me to wear Yanggong.The range of this bow is far greater than that of ordinary bows and arrows, not to mention the lethality is also great.Moreover, it is a mechanism ejection, which does not require much arm strength.

After staying up for a few nights, the minister seemed to have a clue, and was caught by the dark guards. "

Chu Wenjue smiled and nodded at Shen Songbai, and said helplessly: "Master Shen, you will probably complain like this, and you have nothing to worry about. There is no one else in this court except you."

Shen Songbai sniffed, and muttered silently in his heart, he would not let him resign, nor would he complain, because being an official is too tiring.

"Look at it, Mr. Shen."

Chu Wenjue got up, walked to Shen Songbai, and handed Shen Songbai the blueprint that Zhao Keran gave him.

Shen Songbai quickly got up to take it, and then spread out the blueprint on the tea table. The two stood side by side, observing the blueprint together.

Shen Songbai became more and more frightened the more he looked at it. Although the components were complicated, the size, usage and installation were all marked out in detail.

"Your Majesty, who is the person who drew this blueprint? This person is extremely talented, and I am far inferior to you." Shen Songbai's eyes glowed, and he said to Chu Wenjue seriously: "I wonder if Your Majesty can recommend one or two for my minister. I want to be a teacher. .”

Hearing this, Chu Wenjue couldn't help but look at Shen Songbai.Although Master Shen looks young, his actual age is three years older than him.

Thinking about Mr. Zhao again, if Shen Songbai worshiped Zhao Keran as his teacher, Chu Wenjue trembled for no reason when he thought of this scene.

"Master Shen, recommendation is fine. But regarding the matter of apprenticeship, I advise Master Shen to give up."

Before Shen Songbai could ask, Chu Wenjue pointed to the blueprint and diverted Shen Songbai's attention, "Master Shen, how long will it take you to make one according to this blueprint?"

Sure enough, Shen Songbai's attention was diverted, and he focused on the firearm again, forgetting about apprenticeship in an instant.

He calculated carefully, and gave a conservative figure, "This drawing is marked in great detail, excluding the time for polishing and selecting materials, without accident, half a month is enough."

Chu Wenjue nodded, and called Zhou Jingren who was standing beside him.Ask him to take a look at the blueprint too, "Master Zhou, from tomorrow, you will secretly find some manpower, choose a secluded valley, and build a firearms department."

Zhou Jingren looked at the notes on the drawing.Although he doesn't know its principle, he also understands the power of firearms and its importance to Da Yuan.

He didn't dare to be negligent, and saluted solemnly, expressing his determination to live up to the emperor's order.

In the blink of an eye, half a month later, the caravan from West Huai finally arrived at the Dayuan border.

The mutual market supervisors come and go, and the horses, horses, cattle and sheep are also huddled together, which is very lively.

"Master Feng, take a look at these rare treasures, as well as our Huaixi's weapons and horses, see if there are any missing."

Suo La held the cargo list and the mutual market supervisors led by Feng Yushan stood in front of the cargo.

Feng Yushan looked at the long list of goods, which were still recorded on wooden boards.This character is written crookedly like an earthworm, and it takes a long time to recognize each character.

After watching for a while, Feng Yushan gave up, he wanted to let his eyes go.He hurriedly threw this hard work to Fang Zhongyuan, "Fang Jiancheng, my eyes are suddenly sore and my head hurts. You are a little tired, take someone to count it."

Fang Zhongyuan took the list of goods and looked at it, yes, whoever reads this word will have a headache.

On the way back, Feng Yushan said to Suola: "This time we are going to formally sign a commercial contract between the two clans, and you need to sign it yourself, the king. But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see your king's car. Did you not come?"

Sola waved his hand and said: "The king is here, but considering that you are at war with Beidan. We have to go through Beidan to come to Dayuan. The king didn't want to make too much publicity, so he kept everything simple so as not to provoke mad dogs to bite people. "

Feng Yushan expressed his understanding, and said: "Since this is the case, please trouble the Envoy Sola and King Huaixi to make it clear that we need to leave for Jing'an Mansion tomorrow. Our Majesty is waiting for you there."

...

"Master Zhao! Master Zhao! It's done!" Steward Xu rushed all the way to the county government office to announce the good news.

Zhao Keran put down the college design drawing in his hand and asked, "But the telescope is done?"

Butler Xu nodded again and again, "Yes! Master Liu is a good hand at polishing gemstones, and the fired glass was polished according to the adults' requirements, and it was really polished!

Carpenter Pan was skillful in his hands, and he stuffed the raised small disc glass into the wooden tube in two or three strokes.It is also decorated with silver pieces, which looks beautiful. "

He took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Keran.

"My lord, please take a look. After this is done, Master Pan asked us to try the effect. This is really a miraculous thing. If you put it in front of your eyes, you can see it for a thousand miles!"

Zhao Keran took the cloth bag and slowly opened it. Inside was a simple telescope.

The body of the telescope is embellished with silver, which is really eye-catching.

Zhao Keran couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Feng Zhu's work is really fast.The large ship of quartz sand was transported to Jingyang in only five days, which saved a lot of time.

After the sand was transported, Zhao Keran selected a few capable ones from the labor union, and made glass according to the glass firing skills he took from the system.

Now we only use glass to make a petri dish, the technique doesn't need to be too complicated, and it's fairly easy to master.If you want to make other glassware, I am afraid that you have to practice how to blow glass.

Thinking of giving Fengzhu Telescope as a thank you, Zhao Keran went to Butler Xu again.Ask him to borrow the master who polished the spar in the mansion to polish the glass for him.

I thought it would take some time before the telescope was made, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

That being the case, then he might as well do more and send it to Qingyu Pass at that time, so that he can play some role in the battle.

Kitanbe.

Xie Xuan has been locked in the tent since he came to Beidan.

When he first came, he said some war secrets, and he never thought that the Northern Alchemy King would lock him up after hearing it.

Xie Xuan didn't really believe what Chu Wenjue said to him.It's just that he wants to give it a try, to see if he can be a white wolf with nothing.

It's just that he didn't expect that the Northern Alchemy King didn't give him a chance to speak after listening to it, and he was directly dragged down.He knew in his heart that the Northern Alchemy King wanted to wear down his aura, but it would not be an option to drag it on like this.

Finally, Xie Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "I know how to repair Qingyuguan city wall!"
