Chapter 1612 If there is any disagreement, I will never forgive
"Well!"
"It's been sent to Jiang Aiqing. Fang Aiqing is waiting in the imperial study. I'll go over right away!"
Emperor Chu spoke and looked sideways at Nangong Xi. The two women stepped forward to take Chu Chen and Chu Yan away. Diao Chan stepped forward to straighten Emperor Chu's clothes, and he strode out of Ningxiang Palace.
Seven days passed, and Emperor Chu knew that Jiang Shangding had traced how the War King's army came to the city, and that Fang Xuanling must have come for the construction of the Wengcheng.
In the past few days, Fang Xuanling and officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue were busy with the people returning to the city and selecting the craftsmen who built the urn city. He had forgotten to come to the Emperor of Chu to solve the problem of city construction.
The Emperor of Chu had already written down the method of firing bricks and glutinous rice mortar in a kiln, and was waiting for Fang Xuanling to come and hand it over to him. With the addition of the latest bricks and glutinous rice mortar, the construction of the urn city could be started at any time as long as the craftsmen were in place.
About a stick of incense later, Emperor Chu appeared outside the imperial study. Jiang Shang and Fang Xuanling followed the sound and looked towards the door of the palace. Seeing Emperor Chu's arrival, they both bowed and saluted.
"My dear friends, there is no need to be polite. Please take your seats quickly!"
Emperor Chu raised his arm to signal the two of them to sit down. He moved forward and asked, "Xuanling, I see you look good. Are the people returning to the city in good condition? You have already mentioned the construction of the urn city."
It’s on the schedule.”
Hear the sound.
Fang Xuanling was shocked and said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty is very good at predicting things. People are coming back in an endless stream, and the number of people is increasing every day. The ministers, ministers of the Ministry of Works, and the Minister of Household Affairs have already started to select craftsmen. In addition, in various places around the Beast Palace,
The edict was posted in the city and work began to build the urn city."
"Wei Chen came to the palace this time to report the matter to His Majesty. In addition, Wei Chen came..."
Fang Xuanling was speaking heartily, but suddenly stopped, as if he was hesitating to speak. Emperor Chu smiled lightly. As he expected, Fang Xuanling came here to solve the problem of Wengcheng.
Emperor Chu squinted his eyes and glanced across the wooden table in front of him. He raised his hand and handed a memorial to Xiao Guizi, saying: "Xuanling, I have written the method on the memorial. Just go down and execute it. If you have any questions, you can come forward."
Go to the Academy of Sciences for help, I believe this small problem should not trouble Shen Kuo, Lu Ban, Wen Boya and the others."
Xiao Guizi stepped forward quickly and handed the memorial to Fang Xuanling. He took it and read it over. Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded and extremely horrified. In recent days, for the construction of Wengcheng, he had made a lot of efforts to make up for the current war in the continent.
There is no record of fired bricks and cement mortar in any of the architectural books.
Emperor Chu's method of writing was unprecedented. This did not simply solve the problem of building the urn city, but made a huge contribution to the construction industry in the War Continent.
Fang Xuanling was convinced that once the latest fired bricks and glutinous rice mortar appeared, all the buildings in the War Continent would undergo earth-shaking changes.
While excited, Fang Xuanling discovered a problem. He raised his head and looked at Emperor Chu and said, "Your Majesty, this glutinous rice lime slurry uses glutinous rice as raw material. Isn't it a bit too extravagant?"
You must know that glutinous rice is one of the most expensive foods in the War Continent. If the proportions written in Emperor Chu's memorial are true, the amount of glutinous rice consumed in making glutinous rice lime slurry is quite large, and tens of thousands of dollars will be spent.
"luxury?"
"How much glutinous rice is needed to build the urn city and underground city, all are reported to the No. 1 village in the world, and let Shen Qing buy it from all countries. In addition, building the city will not be done in one day. After autumn, all the fertile fields in Wuchu land will be planted with glutinous rice. This way
It can drive the production of Wuchu glutinous rice, and next year Chu will become the largest exporter of glutinous rice in the world."
The Emperor of Chu had long thought about the consumption of glutinous rice, so he took this opportunity to vigorously promote glutinous rice in Chu State. After the construction of the Weng City was completed, Chu State would become a big glutinous rice country.
"Your Majesty is far-sighted, but the humble minister is rude!"
Fang Xuanling was originally worried that Emperor Chu would carry out large-scale construction projects. The consumption of glutinous rice alone would consume a huge amount of the treasury. Now it seems that Emperor Chu had planned everything and made long-term plans. It was not just a whim.
"Xuanling, you will take the lead in this matter and lead the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works to complete it. When the Wengcheng is built, I will personally sacrifice to heaven and let God bless me."
"Wei Chen has accepted the order and is about to go and get started!"
With excitement on his face, Fang Xuanling bowed out of the imperial study. He had already learned how to open a kiln to bake bricks and how to make glutinous rice mortar. Now everything was ready and all he needed was the east wind. He had to order the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs to complete the work as quickly as possible.
Recruitment of craftsmen.
"Your Majesty, I have found out the reason why the King of War's army came to the city. Please take a look at it!"
Jiang Shang stepped forward and handed the memorial in his hand to Xiao Guizi. When he was young, Emperor Chu slapped the memorial on the wooden case. Long Yan was furious.
"Where are the guards of Lotus City, Broken Star City, and Purple Phoenix City now?"
Jiang Shang sent people to check and found out that the guards of the three cities had already surrendered to the Devouring Heaven Empire. They were the ones who quietly transported the grain, grass, baggage, war horses and equipment to the Chu Kingdom. As for the 40,000 War King Legion, they arrived by Suzaku aircraft and hot air balloons.
Come on, these things all come from the Qin Empire. To be precise, they should come from the Mohist government city.
"Back to Your Majesty, the guards of the three cities learned that the War King's legions were defeated and had fled and hid. The ministers did not find them."
"Ziya, my Chu territory is endless and there are many cities. The guards of each city are mixed, good and bad. I am worried that similar problems will occur in the future."
Emperor Chu was worried. After all, the Chu State had successively conquered nearly a hundred empires, large and small, and many of the city guards continued to use surrendered generals. Whether they were loyal or not could not be guaranteed.
"Your Majesty, the unevenness of the guards in each city is indeed a problem that we currently have, but it cannot be completely solved for a while."
"Wei Chen believes that after the construction of the Four Protectorate Palaces is completed, His Majesty can send his trusted generals to guard it. At the same time, there will no longer be garrison troops stationed in each city, and only a few soldiers will be left in the county government."
"This can prevent the city guards from monopolizing power and leaving the imperial power aside. They dominate the areas under their jurisdiction and prey on the common people."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu nodded frequently and chuckled: "Ziya is really my think tank. According to your words, the construction of the Sifang Protectorate has been completed. I will order the withdrawal of the soldiers and horses in each city and hand them over to the generals of the Protectorate for unified deployment.
Take charge.”
"Ziya, the construction of the Protectorate has not yet been completed, and the guards of each city must be on guard. Immediately send an order to Zifang, Kong Ming, and Bowen, asking them to send people to secretly pay attention to the movements of the guards of each city. If there are any objections,
, you can cut it first and then play it."
"I will also send secret guards and the Assassin's Alliance to investigate secretly, and we will never let a similar situation happen again!"
Emperor Chu's sonorous voice sounded, and his eyes showed murderous intent. He would not allow anyone to betray him again, and would put the Chu country in dire straits. If anyone dared to have anything to do with the Heaven-Devouring Empire, he would be killed without mercy and would never be forgiven.
"I accept the order, and now I will pass the secret order to the three adults!" (To be continued)
