Trade began to unfold in full swing on the grasslands, and countless herders flocked from all directions, exchanging the wool they had accumulated for a long time into stacks for all kinds of supplies they needed.

The city has not been built yet, but seeing that time is passing day by day, it will be too late to wait until the season is over. Therefore, after the two sides signed a formal contract, they first used this assembly point outside the Datong Pass to conduct trade. Trade goods, mainly for wool.

Every day, a large number of herders come all the way here, and many herders are still returning.

Those who returned were the first to make trouble with them, which made the envious eyes of those tribes who did not catch up, or did not dare to follow. I knew that I wouldn't be punished for making such a fuss, so I should have come with it in the first place. As a result, who knows, this is going around and around, and there is no in the end, and it is one step ahead of everyone. Now that these people have returned, they can gather their supplies again and prepare to trade them in the city that will be built.

In the harsh living environment of the grassland, one more trade will make you earn more points, and you will be more sure of surviving the harsh winter.

Many people regret it, if they were bolder at the beginning, it would be nice to go with them. So now I am one of these harvest teams.

This incident fully proves the saying: crying children have milk to eat. Blindly obeying the people, the danger may be minimized, but correspondingly, the good opportunity for change is absolutely not with them.

The days passed like this, and the wool trade outside the Datong Pass reached its peak with the arrival of the trade team on the royal court's side.

Compared with retail households, the number of large tribes gathered by the royal court can be described as mountains and seas. This made for a while, the entire sky inside and outside Datong Pass was filled with a strange smell.

Zhu Chenhao was dressed in a green coat and hat, and the folding fan in his hand waved vigorously to drive away the pungent smell, but he was still dizzy.

"This is Su Neyan's big deal? Big is really big enough, but I don't know if his weaving secret method is really as magical as he said. He tilted his head sideways and said to Liu Yangzheng beside him.

Liu Yang's face was pale, and his eyes were a little dull and dull. Hearing the master's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, until now, we can only believe him." Otherwise, the ten thousand taels of silver we have invested will also be wasted. However, His Majesty thought that even if this matter was not as exaggerated as he said, it would definitely be earned. Look over there. As he spoke, he snorted in a direction in front of him.

Zhu Chenhao stared at it, a flash of surprise flashed on his face, and he said in a low voice: "That's the caravan of the Duke of Wei ..... Nanjing." They're here too, and hey, it's big enough. ”

That's right, that is the caravan of the Duke of Wei. The carts of the caravan were evidently the largest of the lodges, and the wagons were two miles away, each loaded with bundles of wool, so much so that the ruts were two fingers deep.

"So it seems ......" Zhu Chenhao's eyes flashed with a gleam and murmured softly. But then he turned his eyes again, frowned, and said, "By the way, do you know what that kid is doing now? ”

Liu Yangzheng shook his head and said in a low voice: "It is said that he took those people with him and went to the proper side. I want to build a city there for the purpose of making a city. ”

Zhu Chenhao was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "What?

Liu Yangzheng nodded: "Yes, it is to build a city." ”

Zhu Chenhao: "How is it possible, how can the Mongols agree? After the city is built, who will guard it? If we are the Ming Dynasty, it will not be equivalent to nailing a thorn into them." ”

Liu Yang's face was solemn, he nodded slowly, his eyes couldn't help showing a little admiration, and said, "This is exactly what His Majesty feels admired." That kid didn't say anything else, and it would be a great achievement to get the Mongols to agree to him. With this city, the significance to my Ming is immeasurable. ”

Zhu Chenhao's face changed for a long time, and he suddenly whispered: "Do you think this matter, can we take care of it?" If this matter is successful, my reputation will definitely be able to go to a higher level, and it will be of great benefit to me. ”

Liu Yangzheng groaned slightly, and slowly shook his head, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty does not recommend this. What Su Mo did was not necessarily something that others could do. After all, he has an innate advantage, and that is the Mongolian princess......"

When Zhu Chenhao heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he snorted heavily. The incident of Turuletu made him lose face. In the past, Jingzhong and his entourage wanted to pull in a strong foreign aid with this, but unexpectedly, under all kinds of calculations, the queen suddenly killed in the air, making his thousands of plans come to naught, and he had to be stillborn.

Not to mention, because of this, he also caught up with King Lu's family and made it infamous. It is said that because of this matter, King Lu of Shandong, as well as Scholar Yang, have a lot of complaints about him, and they began to alienate him a lot. And the source of all this points to the guy named Su Mo.

"Damn little brute! Bad plan, be punished!" he scolded hatefully.

Liu Yangzheng sighed in his heart, and quietly waited for him to finish venting, and then continued: "The prince doesn't have to be so sad about this, as expected by his subordinates, according to Su Mo's temperament, I'm afraid it will definitely not be so simple." The Mongols may have allowed him to lead the creation of the city, but if it was true that a large city was built, it would not necessarily be true. ”

Zhu Chenhao raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "What's the matter, could it be that he boasted about building the city himself? If so, he would be a bully! Hmph, turn around and let people keep an eye on that side." If you really want to do what you said, you must refer to him fiercely to see who can save him when the time comes. ”

He said viciously, a crazy and resentful look flashing in his eyes. Liu Yangzheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart again. Obviously, that Su Mo has become a demon in the heart of his own prince, and he can't wait to kill him quickly.

However, this is just a private grudge, what is it in front of the big plan they are planning? Although Su Mo really hates it, he can't deny that his talent is definitely not trivial. If you can get a good relationship, it will definitely be a great help for yourself.

But this must not be said now, and the prince will never listen to it. Not only will it not work, but it will also create a gap between himself and the prince.

Therefore, Liu Yangzheng just nodded silently and responded indifferently. Since that guy dares to boast about this Haikou, how can he not have the corresponding means? King Ning is so eager to get involved, I am afraid that in the end, if one is not good, he will be implicated.

When I go back, I must tell the people below who are doing specific things, and it is okay to participate, but it must not be too deep. It's best to find a substitute for the dead ghost in front, so that even if something happens, you won't be able to track down King Ning's side.

Thinking so, he couldn't help but look to the north. That person is over there at the moment, and I don't know what he's going to do.

What did Su Mo do? Su Mo's actions were ashamed. The robe had been taken off, the sleeves and trouser legs were rolled up, and a large bowl was held in one hand, and it was pouring violently. The other hand reached into the crotch of his pants and pulled it out......

Well, the autumn weather is too hot, especially when the sun is low, and the power of the autumn tiger is even more powerful in the past, making everyone sweat like pulp, and the whole body is wet layer after layer. As a result, because of the horseback riding, the inner thighs of the grinding were prickly heat, which was itchy......

Zhang Yue and Xu Peng covered their faces in unison, complaining about their incompetence. Well, let you ride the big bear waves all day long, and now the waves are not waves? The bear's back is obviously much wider than that of a horse. In this way, when walking slowly, you can naturally sit cross-legged on it, which is of course much more comfortable and more stylish than riding a horse.

But if you run fast, it will inevitably make the legs of the person riding on it spread even wider. Under the constant friction, it's fine for a short time, but if it's for a long time, hehe, the taste is not too sour.

Especially in this summer, the bear hair itself is thick, and after rubbing, plus the constant sweat is wet, and there is no prickly heat before it is called a ghost.

"Brother, image! Pay attention to the image. Zhang Yue couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but persuade in a low voice.

Su Mo rolled his eyes, stuffed the empty bowl of water into his arms, and pouted: "I image your sister! ”

Old Gu is Gu Heng, as early as when he left Beijing, Gu Heng was responsible for organizing the craftsmen and materials in the back, and took advantage of the time Su Mo bought him to gather the craftsmen who were mainly responsible for building the city to Dongsheng, and now they have finally converged.

At present, the cement smuggled out in advance has been put in place, and it is ready to start work in full swing after the rear will transport the load-bearing columns that have already been poured into the rear.

If you want to beat the time difference, build a city as quickly as possible in an impossible time, and form an established fact, you must have a fast word. In this way, it must not be done by conventional means, and it must be done by another machine.

Therefore, Su Mo used the steel pouring method of later generations. But in this era, not to mention steel bars, iron is a scarce material, far from being as abundant as in later generations. Most of the iron ore is used to make weapons such as blades and armor, and only a few are used for people's livelihood.

In this way, if you want to build a city, not to mention the astronomical amount it will be, the quality alone will not be enough.

And there is another way, which is to replace it with large materials. But in that case, the cost is too high to outweigh the losses. You know, the big wood that can support a city definitely doesn't know how many years it will grow. This kind of material can only be found in some primeval forests.

There are primeval forests in the steppe, but the problem is, if you want to take materials from the primeval forests in the steppe, doesn't that mean that you can tell the Mongols clearly?

So, in the end, Su Mo came up with a trick. Cement is poured in advance to form a cement pillar that is load-bearing enough. At that time, as long as the cement pillar is buried first, and then a little bluestone is added, and then directly poured with cement. In this way, it can not only ensure the sturdiness, but also build the castle as quickly as possible.

At this time, he was at the site of transporting the cement pillars and personally went down to cheer for the laborers. It's a kind of political show...... Well, no, it's called taking the lead and mingling with the working people.

Well, it works well. The mood of the working people is very high, and Mr. Gu Heng's mood is also very high, after seeing his disheveled appearance.

So, as an orthodox Confucian disciple, Mr. Gu rarely went berserk......
