I write novels in the East Palace

The half-person-high gray square rises from the ground, strong, safe and tough.

This is the finished product that Zhou Chengyi worked on for seven days, and there is half a bag of gray granular raw materials beside it.

The generals and officials at the border came here upon hearing the news. They already knew that His Royal Highness King Rui was studying in seclusion. Now looking at this strange wall, they understand that it is probably for the reconstruction of Ruchuan.

However, this thing has never been heard or seen before, and they circled around it, very curious, "What is this?"

Shen Ping saw some clues, and asked anxiously with a surprised tone, "But cement?"

Zhou Chengyi cast an appreciative glance, "It is indeed cement."

There was an uproar.

The generals in the garrison were rough and rough, few of them could read, and they lived in the bitter cold of the border all year round. They had never heard of "cement" at all, and they looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what kind of riddle they were playing.

But the officials at the border have inquired about the situation and policies of the DPRK and China, not to mention the team of epidemic prevention doctors sent by the previous epidemic. flipped through.

And once I read it, I was shocked by the unpredictable changes in the capital, and I specially asked someone to search for those magazines. It was the time when Cangzhou was blocked, and everyone couldn't get out or get in. I thought I couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, some trapped merchants actually had them.

It can only be said that Fu Qian's business stall is large enough, not only selling to all parts of the country, but also some Western Region merchants want to attract them to the Western Region.

There is a huge difference between the Western Regions and the Northern Hu. The Northern Hu hates Xiao and despises the culture of Xiao. Wherever the wind blows, there are many merchants in the Western Regions, and the two countries blend things between them. There are many people in the Western Regions who study and study the Confucian culture of the Xiao Kingdom.

All in all, there is also a market for Xiao Guo's books in the Western Regions.

No matter how talented Fu Qian is in business, after all, his hands are only so long. He only controls the total shipment. As for where and to whom the goods are finally sold by the merchants, he has no control and has no way to control it. .

However, because the goods passed through two channels, the merchants from the Western Regions got them much later than the merchants from the Xiao Kingdom. As a result, they unexpectedly met Bu Rigude, who killed thousands of swords, and had a notorious "poisoning" incident that lasted for thousands of years.

It doesn't matter whether the goods are in their hands or not, they are afraid that their lives will be in their hands.

Fortunately, the emperor of the Xiao Kingdom is still good. Not only did he send doctors over, but all people in Cangzhou, no matter what country they are from, can enjoy the same treatment. It is borne by one's own strength, while those of other countries are borne by themselves.

Supplies are limited, and they are in short supply, especially medicine.

It's not that there are unruly people who want to spend a lot of money to buy more drugs or raise the price of drugs. These people have been punished well.

Moreover, after the incident spread to the central government, the prince of the supervisory country issued an order that all sick patients should go to Ruchuan, and the treatment medicines were not allowed to be traded in private. Pay it off again.

If you have great wisdom, you have to say, then it’s okay to just rely on it, because the disease is already cured anyway.

But the sergeants at the border are not vegetarians, and here they are not allowed to leave the hospital without paying the full amount, and they go directly to the dungeon for interrogation.

No one dares to do such a thing at such a sensitive juncture.

Those businessmen from the Western Regions originally thought that they would have to be skinned when they were trapped in Cangzhou, but they didn't expect that someone would ask about "Poor Scholar Farming" and wanted other magazines and books from Chang'an by the way.

The bookseller suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Most of these officials had read the masterpiece written by the Fourth Young Master, and the "Epidemic Prevention Manual" published by the court was the first to be sent to Cangzhou.

The admiration of the border army subjects for the four princes is absolutely fanatical and loyal. It can be said that all of them are Li Jiexiong.

"It's actually written in the fourth son's book?" The soldiers' eyes widened after hearing the science popularization.

"Try the hardness of this thing to see if it is suitable for a house or even a city wall." Zhou Chengyi said, taking a step back to give them room to play.

The house is okay, but if it is used for the construction of the city wall, then it needs to be paid more attention to.

Although the hardness of the cement still cannot withstand the bombardment, it is still better than the previous yellow mud bricks.

After some tests, cement became the material of choice for urban construction in Ruchuan without any suspense.

The only problem that the officials were worried about was mass production. Zhou Chengyi raised his lips with a confident and arrogant expression, "If I can't solve this problem, I've really been working in vain for a few days."

"His Royal Highness King Rui is wise!" All the officials bowed in admiration.

Zhou Chengyi spent some more time in the factory in Tianshui City, teaching the workers how to make cement. At the same time, he also wrote an observation log about the mining and iron making that he saw these days, and proposed a new steelmaking method in the middle. The theory of Fa, so that people rushed to the palace.

His intention was to ask the imperial court to send people, especially the people from the Ministry of Industry, to seize the iron and coal mines in Tianshui City as soon as possible.

The Western Regions sent envoys to negotiate a peace, and the borderline fell, and the vital points were exposed, so they would not be able to give all the cities here, Baiyun City and Suyun City can be given up, and Tianshui City Zhou Chengyi is bound to win.

Of course, unless the Western Regions agreed to return to the city and not to the mines, and agreed to Xiao Guo sending troops to garrison mining.

This is obviously impossible.

With such a tough attitude, the most likely thing for the Western Regions is to reluctantly give up Tianshui City and ask Baiyun or Suyun to fill the pass. After all, there are plenty of mines in the Western Regions, but there are only a few border cities, and it would be heartbreaking to lose a few.

Zhou Chengyi knew how powerless and humiliating it was to cede land and pay compensation, but this was the first tease in the Western Regions, and Zhou Chengyi didn't sympathize at all.

Fang Guanyan was in charge of the negotiations in the Western Regions. He asked everyone about the bottom line conditions.

Zhou Chengyi wanted Tianshui City, and Zhong Liyue wanted war horses. Shen Ping smiled and said boldly, "Baiyun and Suyun are too far away from Cangzhou, so they should not be taken into their hands. They can be exchanged for the plain racecourse in the Western Regions. What do you guys think? "

This plain horse farm is far away from the breached sideline. It is a land bordered by the North and Hu. The terrain is flat and the grassland is fertile, which is suitable for herding cattle, sheep and horses.

Herding is deeply rooted in the nomads. Zhong Liyue has been fighting at the border for so many years. If he had to talk about other things, he always thought Xiao Guo was the best. Only war horses made him very greedy.

Shen Ping saw him silent for a long time, and frowned slightly, "You don't like it?"

"I like it, but the Western Regions won't agree." Zhong Liyue felt pessimistic.

Shen Ping's brows loosened, but her soft voice was unreasonably frivolous, "It's fine if you like it, if you don't agree, just talk slowly, you have to agree, what does Fang Shilang think?"

Fang Guanyan smiled softly, nodded and said, "Yan Zi will do his best not to let Miss Shen and Marshal down."

Unwilling to be lonely, Zhou Chengyi leaned forward, blinking his eyes to show his presence, "What about me? Where is the Tianshui City I want?"

Tianshui City is easy to talk about. The Western Regions themselves know that these three cities can take back two at most, and they have to magnify their blood and feed the beasts to get them. It is heartbreaking to lose Tianshui City, and there are no other two portals. It came bleakly.

Judging the situation, they know what they have to give up.

Everyone present knew it, Zhou Chengyi knew it, and Fang Guanyan knew that Zhou Chengyi knew it too.

He didn't expose it, but only promised with a smile, "I will definitely live up to your trust."

"We, Ayan, can do it." Zhou Chengyi put his hands in his hands, looking relieved that my family has a baby who has just grown up, and even pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes where there were no tears with his sleeves.

Zhong Liyue wanted to babble when he opened and closed his disgusting little mouth, Shen Ping almost had a conditioned reflex, and quickly covered his mouth with quick eyesight and hands.

She said very euphemistically, "You two uncles and nephews, one of you doesn't go to the bridge to tell stories, and the other doesn't go to the theater to sing, it's really embarrassing."

Zhong Liyue took off her hand, smoothing the furrow between his brows, thinking that this idea is really good, Lang nodded with a smile, and wanted to compare with Zhou Chengyi who could make more money.

The old god Zhou Chengyi said, "Acting is not my pursuit. I just want to write stories to make money. Uncle will work hard and try to climb up from the bridge hole. When you can enter Zuichunlou to perform, I will definitely bring Ayan Go cheer you up."

"It's a good relationship, remember to give more tipping money." Zhong Liyue really threw his future on storytelling.

Shen Ping and Fang Guanyan looked at the two of them talking to each other, dignified relatives and aristocrats, all they thought about was doing some low-level livelihood. If those people outside listened to it, they might think that Zhongli's family inherited something. Crazy.

Not long ago, bags of cement were loaded into trucks and transported to Ruchuan, and envoys from the Western Regions also crossed the sideline and arrived at Yanyun City.

Peace negotiation is not something that happens overnight, and Fang Guanyan puts all his energy into it.

At that time, Aurora, who had been camping in Beihu territory on the other side for a long time, finally made a movement.

In fact, Aurora said that she wanted to fight back, but after all, her teacher was unknown, and she didn't want to really fight with her mother. She originally thought that the ministers in the court would be restless, and the queen would become more and more confused, and something would happen if she stayed for a while.

I didn't expect that this matter would come out without having to endure it. Not only did it come out, but it was also quite big.

The queen was annoyed that Aurora would not send troops for a long time, so she directly threatened in the letter. As a result, Aurora not only refused to attack the Xiao country, but also negotiated peace with them, divided up the territory of Beihu, and then handed the letter back, she wanted to include this territory Self-government under his own name.

Aurora knew the Queen's character well, even though she was dissatisfied, she wouldn't do anything. No matter what she said, she was still born to the Queen.

However, she underestimated the lover and the empress's hatred for Emperor Vasily.

Emperor Vasily and the Empress were married. Although they were married, they each had lovers, and they respected each other like ice. When the Empress was still a queen, although she had no feelings for Vasily, she did not hate her.

The beginning of resentment was that after Vasily's death, she accidentally ascended to the throne. After years of hard work and hard work, she never wanted to be poked at the spine all the time and said that she was not in a good position!It's not even possible to give a title to the one you love!

After all, the empress began to hate her, and even the children who convected Vasily's blood began to be wary.

In recent years, Aurora has gradually grown up, and the persecution of the ministers has become more and more serious. All the anxiety of the Queen broke out after Aurora's successive protests and disrespect.

The prince was labeled as a traitor, and the second princess was held hostage as a tool to suppress Aurora.

The sand is messed up.

When Zhou Chengyi heard the news, he was not without regret.

Sha Man was in a mess, it would be nice for them to take advantage of the troubled waters, but they had already signed a treaty with Aurora before, Zhou Chengyi and Zhong Liyue were not perfidious people, and they couldn't do something like turning around and taking a bite.

Of course, it didn't stop Chen Bing and Jiehe from staring at them.

"Why are these people from the Xiao Kingdom so dishonest!?" The deputy general of the Knights was very annoyed when he received the military report.

Aurora remained expressionless and said without raising her head, "It's not like they didn't do anything, so why are you angry?"

"But they obviously brought so many horses on purpose! Maybe they will rush out when we are anxious to fight!"

"We brought so many people to guard their borders for two months, have you forgotten?" Aurora said indifferently.

All the subordinates.

Aurora got up and walked to the sand table and said, "Don't worry, they won't move if we are undefeated."

"What if we lose?" Someone asked.

Aurora's voice was piercingly cold, "We'll be dead by then, and they won't care what they do."

When these things happened, Zhou Chengyi was writing the follow-up of "There He Is" in his room.

Following Lu Boxu's provocation from last time, the ghost really came.
