There is such a thing, but now the first batch of production is limited. "

After Liu Junxu received an affirmative answer, he said a little excitedly, "Can you let me see you."

Ji Xiuran naturally agreed, and the cement that had been produced before had been transported to various intersections for road construction. Now that it is actually going on, it can be seen directly at the construction site.Ji Xiuran took Liu Junxi to the intersection of construction.It's not far from the government office.

After seeing the cement, Liu Junxu saw that the builders used wooden boards to spread the gray-brown mud evenly on the repaired roadbed, and asked suspiciously, "Is this cement?"

It’s no wonder that Liu Jun was confused. It’s true that the color of the newly researched cement is really bad. After it is made into mud, it looks similar to the usual mud, not the gray-white of the present world at all.When Ji Xiuran saw it at the beginning, he also felt very painful.But now, Ji Xiuran, an outsider, must be on hold.

Said to Liu Junsu with a calm face: "This is cement. After it dries, it will be as hard as a rock, and it is not afraid of water and fire. Brother Liu can come back to see the results in five days." Liu Junsu nodded and agreed on five days See the effect later.

After five days, when he saw that the cement was as effective as he said, Liu Junbi finally revealed his purpose. In fact, Ji Xiuran also probably thought of it, and it was nothing more than using cement to build a city wall.For the border towns to defend against foreign enemies, it is indeed necessary to have a solid city wall. Now the border town walls are all made of huge stones. Although they are also strong, they are still stronger than the seamless city walls built with cement.

Without thinking about it, Ji Xiuran signed a contract with Dingbei Army to provide a large amount of cement to the border town.

At this time, the third prince, who received the new news from Gongsun Zizhan, was sitting on the upper seat of the palace's conference hall. His seemingly relaxed posture made people dare not underestimate him. When everyone was discussing, they also looked at him from time to time. The leader's reaction.Now the atmosphere in the capital is getting more and more tense, especially after the recent news that the Holy Majesty is in poor health, the actions of those adult princes are also getting bigger and bigger.

And the third prince still doesn't seem to have any influence on the outside world, what he did in the past is still the same now, this kind of performance makes some people who still insisted on orthodoxy start to waver, but the third prince continues to go his own way as if he doesn't realize it.But the confidants of the Third Prince knew that the Holy Majesty had handed over the royal spy battalion to the master long ago, and that the spy battalion could only be controlled by the emperor from generation to generation. The most secret part of the royal family was also a decision made by the Holy Majesty.

Now the third prince has amassed a lot of wealth through the many good prescriptions provided by Ji Xiuran, and his reputation among the people is better than that of other princes. Today, everyone gathers to discuss the next step.

Although the third prince is powerful, he has always been hidden behind the scenes. Now that the atmosphere in the capital is gradually changing, some people want to take action against the property under the name of the third prince. Think it over.It's just that no matter what you do, the third prince doesn't intend to swallow his anger.

It's time to let some people know that someone can't be messed with, otherwise his brothers will think that he is a soft persimmon, and they will want to pinch it when the time comes, and it won't be beautiful.

Sitting at the top and listening to the discussion of the people below for a long time, the third prince finally came to a conclusion: "It is the way of others, you can arrange it, and see the result in three days. The important thing is the cement. Don't lose the big because of small things." The people at the bottom were silent, the third prince waited for a while, raised his eyes and glanced around, and said, "What's the matter? They're all dumb."

A counselor next to the front stepped forward to salute, and said: "I still hope that the prince will calm down, but this matter of cement is very important, and now everyone in the capital is watching us closely, I am afraid it will not be easy to do."

The third prince casually glanced at the person who spoke, and said indifferently: "Since those people are so free, then find something for them to do."

When the man saw the third prince tightening his scalp, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and when he heard the third prince's words, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.The third prince got up and walked out after seeing the agreement. When he returned to the study, he saw Gongsun Zizhan drinking tea and waiting inside. When he saw the third prince arrived, he got up and greeted him.

The third prince glanced at him, and said in a rather dissatisfied tone: "This king is busy with work ahead, but Zizhan is having a good time."

Gongsun Zizhan replied in disbelief: "Zizhan is no match for the prince's daily affairs, but he is just taking a break from his busy schedule and misses the good tea from the prince."

The third prince squinted at him, and snorted coldly, dissatisfied with his appearance of being obedient when he got cheap, and said: "This king's study is not your tea room, next time I want to drink tea at your own place. "

Gongsun Zizhan raised a symbolic arc at the corner of his mouth, bowed to the third prince, and replied: "Zhan, thank you for your reward."

The third prince gave him a speechless look, he was really helpless towards this man's thick skin and ability to climb along the pole, but he did not deny the reward he said.

Chapter 95

Three years is enough for a place to change from poor to rich. During Ji Xiuran's three years as the magistrate of Song County, Song County has undergone earth-shaking changes, especially after the introduction of cement. Now Song County is surrounded by smooth cement roads. , clean and tidy, it feels completely different from Song County in the past, and the lives of the people in the county have also undergone major changes. Now the streets are full of small business stalls, and the rows of shops are also very lively. The sound of students reading aloud and the shouts of vendors on the street together compose the most beautiful and distinctive voice in Song County.

At this time, Ji Xiuran was preparing to return to Beijing. After the three-year term expired after the new year, Ji Xiuran received an official document to return to Beijing to report on his duties early, and Shi Jingchen also received a transfer order. The two are now preparing to return to Beijing. Jing's salute.Now that they have received the official document to return to Beijing, the chances of them coming back are very small, and everything here must be arranged.

After Ji Xiuran arrived in Song County, he made a series of government orders. If the people who followed him could develop according to the route he arranged, Song County would not be defeated for decades.The official Ji Xiuran has naturally prepared the handover. This time, the students in Qingshan Village that he arranged before leaving must leave together. Fortunately, he has made sufficient preparations before, and many people have found someone to take over. The vacant post of county magistrate has also been settled, and there is nothing wrong with the affairs in the yamen.

What made Ji Xiuran hesitate was the property he bought here.For the development of Song County, an oil mill, a cement blast furnace, and a shop and bookstore were established in Song County. These industries must be dealt with before leaving.The situation of the oil mill and the cement blast furnace was special. They were handed over to the people sent by Gongsun Zizhan, and they were considered to be handed over to the people behind him.

The rest of the shops were cashed out, and the bookstore sent a reliable person to continue the operation, which was regarded as leaving some benefits for the scholars in Song County.

After Ji Xiuran arranged to return everything, he thought about leaving quietly before dawn, but when the carriage reached the intersection outside the county town, he was stopped by the folks who came to see him off.Seeing that he couldn't hide, Ji Xiuran had no choice but to get out of the carriage and salute to all the villagers. Ji Xiuran glanced around and saw many familiar faces, Mr. Sun from the shelter, the uncle and aunt selling wontons at the intersection, students from the county school, etc. There were also many The unfamiliar faces that Ji Xiuran couldn't recognize, whether they were acquaintances or strangers, all looked at Ji Xiuran with reluctance.

Ji Xiuran, who was not used to the scene of parting, felt quite sentimental when he saw this kind of scene. Mr. Sun took the lead and walked forward, saluted Ji Xiuran and said, "I heard that Mr. Ji is leaving today, and everyone wants to see him off."

After hearing this, Ji Xiuran was quite moved and said: "Fathers and folks, Jun is here to thank you all, but it's more serious, everyone take care of your health, let's say goodbye." After speaking, he bowed to everyone.

After everyone heard Jiu Xiuran's words, the parting sentiment became more intense. Some aunts and aunts began to sob and wipe away their tears. Ji Xiuran was also a little uncomfortable being affected, but he had to say cruelly: "It's not too early, I still have to wait." Hurry up, everyone, please go back."

After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage without looking back, Shi Jingchen, who had been following him all the time, also bowed to everyone, followed Ji Xiuran into the carriage, saw Ji Xiuran who was depressed, embraced him, and patted Pat him on the back to comfort him.

Ji Xiuran leaned his head on Shi Jingchen's chest, calmed down a little, and then raised his head. Although his face had recovered calm, he still looked not in a high mood.

The carriage has already started moving, but the people outside still follow along, unwilling to leave for a long time.

In the end, it was Ji Xiuran who came forward again and accepted the things brought by the crowd before persuading them to go back.

Shi Jingchen boiled a pot of water, brewed a cup of tea, handed it to Ji Xiuran, looked at the person who had been in a low mood, and said helplessly: "There is always a banquet in the world, so Xiuran doesn't have to be like this."

Ji Xiuran took the teacup, took a sip, and when he heard Shi Jingchen's words, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "I understand what the third brother said, but it's inevitable that I will feel a little sentimental when I encounter it, and I just feel that I didn't do anything. And being so gratefully supported, I just feel a little uncomfortable, after a while, I will be able to adjust, third brother don't have to worry."

Shi Jingchen saw that he knew the seriousness, so he didn't worry anymore, and let him be quiet for a while, while he sat aside and took care of little Jiabao who was still asleep under the quilt.

Ji Xiuran and the others left a lot of people this time, although Mr. Lu and those students together with Qingyue Taoist master and apprentice and those craftsmen
