.

Ji Xiuran saw that the secret decree mentioned sending craftsmen to build the base, so he nodded in agreement in his heart.

Then he frowned again, and said hesitantly: "It is indeed necessary to build a strong base, but how can so many people enter Daqing Mountain quietly without arousing suspicion?"

Ji Xiuran couldn't help but frowned, and when he finally thought of something, he couldn't help clapping his hands excitedly, and said, "I have a good idea."

Shi Jingchen raised his eyebrows, looked over, and Ji Xiuran said with a smile: "Third brother, don't you think that you, a second-rank general bestowed by the emperor, really need a general mansion?"

Hearing his words, Shi Jingchen frowned reflexively, and then thought of the feasibility of this matter, he immediately replied with a smile: "The General's Mansion will not be used, but our mansion really needs to take a good rest."

Ji Xiuran gave him a puzzled look, and asked, "Isn't it good to build a general's mansion?"

According to Shi Jingchen's identity, he should have had his own general's mansion long ago, but everyone seems to have ignored it unanimously.

Shi Jingchen pursed his lips, looked at Ji Xiuran seriously and said, "No need, living here is fine."

Although Ji Xiuran felt that he had been wronged like this, but seeing that he was so persistent, he didn't say any more and agreed to the proposal to repair the Ji Mansion.

Chapter 218

Although they planned to repair the yard, because they still had various things to do at the end of the year, they simply did some preparatory work.

He ordered Youlu to order some high-quality building materials such as bricks, tiles, wood, and stones, and ordered materials from the lime cement kiln in the village.

After finishing these, Ji Xiuran resumed his busy work in the academy.

Because of the final exam, the whole academy is tense now.

The teacher has to prepare the test questions, and the students have to seize the time to review.

This year, because of Ji Xiuran's joining, these people became more serious.

Infected by this atmosphere, Ji Xiuran, who was originally very relaxed, also became serious.

During this period of time, he stayed in the academy, working overtime to deal with the affairs of the academy.

At the end of the year, it's time to clear up the accounts in the academy.

He was busy with this job for a full ten days, and he was not free until the exam season really started up and down the college.

As soon as Ji Xiuran had time, he thought of Shi Jingchen's affairs.

I wanted to take advantage of this spare time to make a base design drawing first.

The two of them could finally sit in the study and talk properly.

Sitting next to Ji Xiuran, Shi Jingchen inevitably felt some resentment in his heart. Xiuran was so busy these days that he didn't have time to talk to him properly.

Ji Xiuran was holding a pen and was about to ask about the situation over there carefully, when he turned his head and saw his eyes, his heart couldn't help but shudder.

Then suppressed the guilt in his heart, and said calmly: "Third brother, what is it like there, please tell me carefully."

Shi Jingchen ignored his words, put his face in front of him, sighed, and asked disappointedly: "Xiu Ran, don't you want to be a husband?"

When Ji Xiuran was asked this question, his body froze, and then he relaxed, turned his head, looked at him, and said, "Of course I want to, but now we still have business to do."

When Shi Jingchen heard the answer he wanted, he looked at him and smiled, stretched out his hand to hug him to his chest, took the pen from his hand with the other hand, and put it on the table.

Then he picked him up with all his strength, and said with a smile: "Now I have something to do."

Ji Xiuran knew what he was going to do, and resisted angrily: "Third Brother, it's still daytime."

Shi Jingchen held him in his arms, suppressed his resistance, and teased, "It will be over in two hours."

Ji Xiuran couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this, two hours, are you trying to kill me.

Then seeing that he was helpless to resist, he stopped struggling and wrapped his arms around his neck, letting him do whatever he wanted.

Throw away morals and things when it's time to throw them away. It's all old men's old man's.

So let's wait until tomorrow to talk about the business.

The next day, Ji Xiuran naturally got up late again, and when he woke up, it was already time.

After washing up and having brunch, he and Shi Jingchen went back to the study to continue talking about what they hadn't finished talking about yesterday.

In fact, according to Ji Xiuran's own thinking, he wanted to go to the scene to investigate, but was ruthlessly rejected by Shi Jingchen.

The road to that place is particularly complicated and difficult to walk, even for trained people like them, it is very strenuous to walk.

Not to mention Ji Xiuran's small body, even with his protection, Ji Xiuran would have to suffer if he wanted to get there.

When Ji Xiuran heard his words, he dismissed his thoughts and listened to his description with peace of mind.

The place Shi Jingchen found was in the depths of Daqing Mountain.

The inner hinterland, which few people have reached, is full of mountains.

Among them is a hidden mountain crevice, through which you can reach the interior after walking through it for a stick of incense.

Inside is an open area surrounded by mountain walls.

Surrounded by high mountains, the middle is flat and gourd-shaped. The place where it comes in is a slender neck, which becomes wider as you go in.

There is a small flared waist in the middle, and after passing, you can see a larger space.

Among them, the water and grass are luxuriant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, as if it is a place outside the world in the deep mountains.

Going to the innermost part, turning around a large stone wall, you can also see a relatively flat and wide passage.

Afterwards, Shi Jingchen led people to explore a few times before finally figuring out where the passage at the back leads.

This was a surprise.

Go straight along that passage, and you will come to the outer periphery of the back of Daqing Mountain in about fifty miles.

After coming out, it is already the boundary of Linzhou, and after turning over a small hill outside, there is an east-west official road.

Most importantly, there are no people around.

In this way, their biggest problem is solved.

Establishing a base in the mountains, although it is hidden, it is really difficult to get in and out, especially the transportation of goods is indeed a big problem.

Entering from Qingshan Village, the road is rugged, and it is very difficult for a person to walk alone, let alone transport heavy objects.

But now with this passage, everything will be easily solved.

After Shi Jingchen's inspection, he was overjoyed and immediately made a decision.

After hearing his description, Ji Xiuran frowned and pondered for a while, then picked up a pen and began to draw on the paper.

Then he asked and drew, and after a while, he drew a rough top view.

Looking at the picture in his hand, he thought for a while, then frowned, shook his head, and said, "Third Brother, something is wrong."

After hearing this, Shi Jingchen turned serious, leaned over, looked at the picture in his hand, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiuran pointed to the blueprint, and said: "Not to mention that building a base out of thin air requires less materials, even if things are not a problem, how about manpower and time?"

Then he put down the drawing, sighed, looked at Shi Jingchen, and said solemnly, "We don't have much time to waste."

After listening to his words, Shi Jingchen thought carefully, and then couldn't help frowning.

This is indeed a problem he ignored, and he thought about it carefully, but fortunately he couldn't find a solution that gave the best of both worlds, so he said regretfully: "Otherwise, just give up here."

I believe that as long as he runs a few more times and goes into the mountains to search, he should be able to find a more suitable place.

Ji Xiuran thought for a while, but finally shook his head, denying his proposal.

Not to mention how long it would take to find a new place, even if it was found, who could guarantee it would be better than this place.

And no matter where they are, manpower, material resources, and time are all problems they have to face.

Ji Xiuran thought about it, but in the end he didn't think of a good solution. It happened that someone came to inform him that someone from the academy was looking for him, so he had no choice but to put this matter aside and go out to meet the guests.

The person who came was the recording officer of the laboratory, and he came to send him the laboratory's materials, account books and experimental results reports during this period.

It was only then that Ji Xiuran remembered that Zhou Jun had told him yesterday that he had no time at that time, so he made an appointment with him to send someone to pick it up.

I was busy with other things before, so I forgot about this. Zhou Jun saw that no one came to pick it up, so he sent someone to deliver it to him.

Ji Xiuran hurriedly asked Youlu to come forward to pick it up, and then thought that he hadn't cared about the things in the laboratory for a while, so he asked a few more casually, and when he knew everything was normal, he asked people to leave.

Then he returned to the study with the materials.

Shi Jingchen still maintained the previous posture, sitting in front of the table, frowning and meditating.

Seeing him coming in, he raised his head and asked casually, "Who's here?"

Ji Xiuran raised the materials in his hand, and replied: "People from the laboratory, send some materials over."

After speaking, he sat back in his seat, opened the document in his hand and looked at it.

In the first item of the experiment results report, the experiment progress of Taoist Qingyue was impressively written.

After seeing what was written above, Ji Xiuran suddenly thought of a good idea.

Then he excitedly looked at Shi Jingchen beside him, and said, "Third brother, I have a solution."

Shi Jingchen turned his head to look over with joy in his eyes, and asked eagerly, "What method?"

Ji Xiuran pointed to the words on the information in his hand, let him read, and then said: "Third brother, do you still remember, I once said that if the amount of blood is large enough, you can cut mountains and rocks."

Shi Jingchen also thought of this matter at this time, looking at the handwriting on the document, he immediately understood what he meant.

I couldn't help showing some excitement in my eyes, and said happily: "So, it is indeed a good idea."

Although he has never seen such a powerful force, he believes in Ji Xiuran.

Hearing what he said, Ji Xiuran couldn't help but looked at Shi Jingchen and laughed, then took out the pen and paper, and drew the sign again.
