Of course, cement was impossible to appear in the Tang Dynasty.
Cement had to wait until an Englishman named Parker invented it in 1796, but it doesn't matter, Muchuan would have invented it first instead of the Englishman Parker.
"Cement is made from limestone and clay, which is mixed with water and dried by sunlight.
As for how to obtain cement... I will tell you then."
Listening to what Muchuan said, Mo Zhu and Sun Shitou both nodded.
But Ouyang Bufan, who was next to him, sighed: "Master Muchuan... you know too much, don't you?
He is simply a monster!”
Ouyang Bufan's words made Sun Shitou and Mo Zhu deeply moved. Muchuan was younger than the three of them, but at such a young age, he was both civilized and military, and he knew so much weird and practical knowledge.
How can one not be impressed?
At this time, Ouyang Bufan said suspiciously: "Mr. Muchuan, tell us honestly, are you the real Ziweixing person sent by the Jade Emperor?
Could it be that they came here specifically to help the people in distress and help the Tang Dynasty?"
Muchuan rolled his eyes: "If I say yes, will you kneel down, worship me, and offer me incense?"
"Absolutely!"
"roll!"
Muchuan said angrily that he did not have the energy to tease Ouyang Bufan anymore. After all, there were still a mountain of things waiting for him to do.
Now that he had almost said what he wanted to say, Muchuan waved his hand and said, "If there's nothing else, the three of you can just go and get busy."
"Yes, I will resign."
The three of them then left.
After seeing the three people leaving, Muchuan thought about going back to the wing to take a nap. The lack of sleep recently made him feel depressed.
Just when Muchuan was about to go back to his room, Heishan hurried over and reported: "Sir... Liang Guogong requested to see you."
“Dong Guo Liang?
Who?
See you, see you.”
Muchuan didn't know Liang Guogong either, so he must have come to greet him and try to curry favor with him. Such people were the most annoying to Muchuan, so of course they were gone.
But Heishan looked hesitant and said uncertainly: "Sir, are you really missing... Is that Master Fang?"
"Master Fang?"
Muchuan opened his eyes suddenly and remembered who it was, wasn't it Fang Xuanling!
Fang Xuanling, who was worshiped as "Sikong" as one of the Three Dukes, received the title of "Liang Guogong". For this reason, people mostly called him "Liang Guogong" instead of his official title.
If it were other cats and dogs, Muchuan would definitely send them away, but if it was Fang Xuanling, he would still have to meet them. After all, Muchuan still had some friendship with him.
After a cup of tea, Fang Xuanling staggered in. He was wearing a loose slanted jacket and a round hat, elegant and indifferent.
"Little friend Muchuan."
"Greetings to Mr. Liang Guogong. I wonder if there is any important matter why Mr. Liang Guogong came to look for me today?"
"Oh, little friend Muchuan, you don't need to be so foreign to me. We are not strangers."
Fang Xuanling looked very casual, with her hands behind her back, and she took a seat in the chair lightly.
Although Fang Xuanling asked Muchuan not to treat him as an outsider, Muchuan still treated him as a landlord, so he ordered the maid to serve tea and cakes and treat him well.
But it was obvious that Fang Xuanling was not here to drink tea and chat. His face darkened and he said seriously: "I came to see my little friend today because I have something to discuss. I want to ask your opinion."
"I wonder what's going on with Mr. Liang Guogong?"
"You should know that our country is currently in peace talks with Goguryeo, right?"
In the early Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo invaded the border one after another and illegally occupied the territory of the Tang Dynasty. For this reason, wars often broke out between the two countries.
It's just that a war between the two sides is a lose-lose situation, so Goguryeo proposed "peace talks", hoping to negotiate an agreement that would benefit both sides.
This time the envoys headed by Kim and Hyun Bin came for this purpose. In addition to participating in "poetry exchanges" and "martial arts exchanges" to connect feelings, more importantly, they wanted to negotiate agreements.
Because the Tang Dynasty was superior in civil and military competitions, it also greatly enhanced the Tang Dynasty's confidence. The negotiating team headed by Fang Xuanling put forward several demanding requirements.
Such as war terms such as huge compensation for war, surrender and recognition of the Tang Dynasty as the "sovereign state", and promises never to invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty, etc.
As a result, the envoys headed by Jin and Xuan Bin were very cheerful and actually agreed to all of them, especially since the war compensation amount reached nearly one million gold. As a result, the Goguryeo envoys also agreed.
"Little friend Muchuan, I am deeply worried about this."
"Worry?
What does Liang Guogong have to worry about?
Isn’t this a good thing?”
"It is precisely because this negotiation went too smoothly that I am worried... The Goguryeo people are despicable and cunning. They did not bargain during this negotiation. I am afraid they are plotting some shocking conspiracy."
After Fang Xuanling sighed deeply, he looked at Muchuan. This time he came here specifically to hear Muchuan's thoughts on this matter.
After Muchuan heard Fang Xuanling's words, he did have doubts. According to official history, there must be a fierce battle between Emperor Taizong of Tang and Goguryeo. However, since Muchuan became the number one scholar, no major war has broken out, but it is a small local war.
Caused frequently.
"Could this be a delaying tactic?"
Hearing Muchuan talk about a delaying strategy, Fang Xuanling slapped his thigh: "Heroes have the same idea. It seems that Master Muchuan and I have the same idea. I also think this is a delaying strategy."
In fact, Goguryeo came to peace talks this time to delay time and divert attention. Through peace talks, the Tang Dynasty could make everyone think that Goguryeo was wholeheartedly surrendering.
In fact, Goguryeo was gathering troops to attack the Tang Dynasty border.
Of course, whether this is a "delay strategy" still requires careful investigation.
Muchuan said: "Lord Fang, please inform the emperor immediately and send scouts to check the border with Goguryeo. It will be clear by then."
"Exactly! Exactly! Lord Muchuan expressed my feelings."
In fact, Fang Xuanling was vaguely aware of Goguryeo's intentions, but he was not sure about it. Now after talking with Muchuan, he finally figured it out.
Without further ado, Fang Xuanling was about to leave.
Muchuan stopped the other party: "Master Fang, won't you stay for dinner?
The house has prepared some delicious food."
Fang Xuanling, who was about to rush out like an arrow, couldn't help but stop. Who in the entire court knew that Muchuan's mansion was rich in all kinds of delicacies, and everyone who had eaten there praised it without giving it a thumbs up.
It seems that Fang Xuanling has not tasted the delicious food in Shangshu's mansion. Wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't taste it during this rare trip?
However, the affairs of Goguryeo are particularly critical and cannot be delayed for even a moment. Fang Xuanling cannot stay any longer!
