Ji Xia stood on the Haixiu River outside the city, and the brown trees lined up neatly by the riverside, and the scenery was very pleasant.
"It is also an excellent choice for the Cang Shou Army's barracks to be built here. It is not only convenient to drink water, but also occasionally hunts large beasts running out of the jungle."
Ji Xia watched the craftsmen come and go. Soldiers continued to carry huge stones. Under the command of the craftsmen, they chopped the stones into slabs with a giant axe, put them into the big hole that had been dug, and laid them on the bottom. The edges, secure with a very sticky glue. "
"The main material of this glue is produced from the oak tree, and the craftsman's house has undergone many years of experiments, adding a lot of materials, and adding a lot of craftsmanship to make this glue. This rubber fish glue has very good adhesive properties. , almost all materials can be glued with him, as long as it is glued firmly, after it solidifies, it cannot be cut with ordinary swords."
The person who spoke was named Lu An, the head of the Taicang Craftsman Institute. Many buildings, walls, and even the palace in the city were created by them.
Because Tai Cang has almost no friends to communicate with each other, and the production is very poor, Tai Cang craftsmen have a characteristic, that is, to discover the magical use of ordinary things. They may not be able to use the most ordinary things to create luxurious and gorgeous buildings or utensils. In terms of practicality, there is certainly nothing to be desired.
For example, the royal palace in Taicheng was built more than 200 years ago by Tai Cang craftsmen.
The same is true for the current reservoir. The structure is very simple, just dig a big pit in a low place, use slate for waterproof treatment, and then dig three canals to make a simple dam mouth. Water will fill the entire pool.
Ji Xia nodded and said to Lu's case: "There must be no mistakes. This cistern is very important to Tai Cang. Maybe this time, my Tai Cang's lifeline is above this pond."
Lu Xian bowed to take orders, but secretly slandered in his heart: "The lord of the country is really a layman, how could there be a mistake in such a simple matter? I just don't know what the use of this cistern is, it takes thousands of Cang's defenders to work. Mining rocks, hundreds of Tai Cang craftsmen build them day and night.”
Watching the construction of Taicang craftsmen, Ji Xia was quite moved. No wonder the Taicang Kingdom can survive in such a dangerous area for more than 200 years. This country, this bloodline, is excellent to the extreme from any point of view.
Tai Cang's officials are conscientious and dedicated, just so that Tai Cang can exist safely.
Tai Cang's army was forbidden by orders, and he went forward bravely, in order to protect his family and defend his country, he was willing to die.
The people of Tai Cang worked hard and never complained about the country, they only knew that the Tai Cang country was always guarding and sheltering them.
Now the Tai Cang craftsmen here are also, they must be foolproof for any small detail. Even the smear of rubber fish glue is meticulously stuck into the tiny crevices without overflowing at all.
"Perhaps only a dangerous world like the boundless wilderness can give birth to such a united, eager to live, and strong race." Ji Xia muttered to herself.
Lu Shang Yin on the side was worried: "This time Tai Cang will face the biggest disaster in history, the dove dog is the second, the Da Fu Kingdom is the real terrifying existence, these few days I can't sleep at night, trying to sleep I always dream of my wife Cang Bai officials and troops were slaughtered by the powerful Dafu, and my Tai Cang people were enslaved and devoured by Zhou Qing."
Ji Qianqing, with red hair and armor, looks valiant, and her beautiful face adds a bit of unique charm to her.
She said slowly: "I have a hunch that I can break through the natural barrier and gain magical powers immediately, and then I will sneak into Zhou Qing and kill Zhou Qing's king. According to Zhou Qing's character of being suspicious and chasing fame and fortune, it is inevitable in the country. In the chaos, when the time comes, the wish given to them by the Dafu may be used by them to compete for the position of the lord of the country.”
Ji Xia frowned: "Assassinate the Lord Zhou Qing? The Lord Zhou Qing was originally a supernatural powerhouse. Just after you entered the supernatural power, you wanted to assassinate the Lord Zhou Qing among thousands of troops? Do you want to be the next Qing Furen?"
Ji Qianqing pursed her lips and said nothing.
She doesn't know that under the escort of thousands of troops, it is difficult to assassinate the supernatural powerhouse, but the Dafu Kingdom is like a dark cloud, blocking the bright sun of the Tai Cang. The most terrifying thing is that once the Dafu is sent out The strong, Tai Cang will have no life.
So she had already made up her mind secretly and wanted to go all out and throw a future for Tai Cang, even if she failed and died in the end, she would not hesitate.
When Ji Xia saw Ji Qianqing's expression, she knew exactly what she was thinking about, and couldn't help but say: "Don't think about it, there are still two months before the arrival of the Great Talisman, and in these two months, all we can do is Strengthen the country as much as possible.”
"For every point of Tai Cang's national strength, our hope will be stronger." Ji Xia's eyes flashed fiercely: "If we are strong enough, even if we can't solve the problems that Dafu brings to us, we can Solve Zhou Qing, the country that caused the problem!"
Ji Qianqing looked at this handsome young man who had inherited the appearance of the lord of the Shang Dynasty, and suddenly felt a little strange. Is this still the playful, incompetent, and incompetent Ji Xia who was dubbed the "waste prince" by the people of Tai Cang?
I don't know when such a stubborn young man has grown into a man who can go to the enemy's line by risking his own life; he can sit on the royal court and issue decrees loudly; he can easily speak the words of Zhou Qingguo, the leader of a country.
"Is it the protection of the wind?"
"Perhaps it was the departure of Shang Guozhu that made you wake up."
Ji Qianqing tightly held the Qingjun sword hilt at her waist, and she said silently, "Being in danger and being in such a deadly situation, the burden on your shoulders is heavier than ours, right?
Chapter 22 Herbivore Sophora
Jing Yu has always felt a little strange recently.
Since that day a supernatural powerhouse descended on Nanqing Street, this strange feeling has lingered.
The eighteen-year-old girl's mind is as picturesque and beautiful. After her elder brother's visit to relatives, she returned to the military camp. She stayed at home alone. Apart from taking care of the flowers and plants at home, she was always in a trance.
When I go to bed at night, I always have some conflicting dreams.
In the dream, the abominable Prince Taicang always kidnapped her with a grin, and then locked her in the dark cabinet of the room, leaving her alone, and let her die in the dark cabinet from then on, and then there was another A brand new dream followed one after another. In this dream, the hateful Prince Tai Cang was no longer hateful and became the King of Tai Cang.
Did she dream? This handsome and extraordinary Lord of Tai Cang, faced with Master Zhou Qing who could collapse a house with a wave of his hand and manifest a terrifying monster with a single finger, his expression was always calm and indifferent, as if there was nothing wrong with him. Things can scare him.
She also dreamed that the lord of Tai Cang waved to her, and said to her gently: "Jing Yu, don't be stingy, pour a cup of tea for the lord."
Thinking of tea, Jing Yu was annoyed for a while, and he even complained to his brother in his heart: "When the army distributes rations, why don't you change a little tea? I always come back with some animal meat, I don't like it, and I have to force me eat."
The young girl seemed to have forgotten that in the past, every time her brother went out, she always told her to bring back some animal meat.
"Fortunately, I told my brother this time. When he comes back next time, he will be able to bring back some tea leaves. At that time, the principal will ask me to pour tea..."
Jing Yu came back to his senses, the kettle in his hand was constantly watering a red lotus flower, and the water had overflowed the edge of the flower pot and kept dripping on the ground.
"Yeah! My flower!" Jing Yu exclaimed, quickly put the kettle aside, and poured out more than water in the flowerpot.
"Hey, the pattern on the lotus leaf of this red lotus actually looks a bit like the king sitting on my chair."
A girl's feelings are always poetry. Just as Jing Yu was fascinated by the patterns on the lotus leaves of the red lotus, the wooden door was knocked.
She was overjoyed: "Could it be that my brother brought tea back?"
Putting down the red lotus flower in her hand, she ran to the door with small steps. She opened the wooden door and saw a few officials in green clothes waiting for her in front of the door.
"What...what's the matter?"
Seeing that she was not the elder brother, Jing Yu couldn't help feeling lost. She suddenly remembered that the prince had kidnapped her like this, and she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
"The lord of the country has ordered that when the national teacher Zhou Qing was arrested that day, the affected households will receive [-] days of food compensation. If the house collapses, the craftsman's office will send craftsmen to repair it."
"Girl, there are two people in your family, this is your food."
Jing Yu took a bag of grain and a bag of green vegetables handed over by the official in a daze, and the official said again: "Taicheng Bode deliberately ordered that your family deserves a reward for your service to the king, and a lamb with antlers will be rewarded."
Before the girl could react, another official took out a lamb from behind. This lamb may be less than two months old. The pure white wool has been taken care of very cleanly, and a finger-length finger has grown on its head. Small horns, as the antler lamb grows, the horns will also get bigger and will become extremely beautiful.
The most important thing is that staghorn sheep is a rare delicacy, the meat is soft and easy to taste, and the most rare thing is that it has no taint.
Jing Yu finally reacted. She looked at the lamb, and her heart suddenly felt joyful. She took the rope holding the lamb from the officer's hand, and circled the lamb excitedly.
"Bah..." The antler's little amniotic fluid looked at Jingyu, perhaps sighing at the beauty of the girl in front of her.
The girl Shui Yingying's eyes were full of joy, she thanked every official, and then returned to the house with the antler lamb and food.
Nanqing Street became more and more lively. Many residents received the food compensation from the royal court from the officials. There was an extra [-]-day quota of food, which was enough for the children in their family to eat for a long time. .
"Lord Xia is indeed a kind lord who loves the people, and he really deserves to be the blood of the lord of Shang."
"Yes, I heard that Prince Ji Xia became the lord of the country before, and I was really worried for a long time. I was afraid that he would be as stubborn as before. I didn't expect that I was thinking too much. It's going to be foolish forever."
