Chapter 379: Visiting
For the old emperor in the past, some of the conditions promised were completely okay, and he was on good terms with the Chengzhou state.
There are quite a few other benefits in it when the time comes.
But in Jiang Jinjing's opinion, some conditions were really unacceptable to him, so he regretted it.
Originally, Jiang Jinjing sent some people to talk about the conditions, but the emperor of Chengzhou was unwilling to take a half step back.
As a result, this matter is in vain.
By the time Du Rufang knew about this, he would have already been demoted.
Lu Chensheng was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't expect that this had already become a thing, and he was actually in the soup.
Jiang Jinjing's thoughts seem to be very different from the old emperor.
However, it can indeed be seen that if this were not the case, Jiang Jinjing would not have begun to arrange so many means a long time ago, and then prepare for a rebellion.
"This thing is indeed a bit unexpected."
Lu Chensheng nodded and responded.
The two continued to drink and eat.
"Brother Lu is in the valley, is there some secret? Down, you see that the mountains are surrounded by walls, but there is no place to see them in the valley? ”
After sitting for a while, Du Rufang, who was a little impatient, still spoke.
He still has a great curiosity about the valley.
Thinking about what was inside, he actually let Lu Chensheng surround him with such a tall city wall.
Lu Chensheng smiled when he heard this, and he didn't mind showing it to the other party.
Anyway, in the future, Han merchants can go to the valley to trade.
"If Brother Du wants to know, why don't you go in and have a look?"
Du Rufang was stunned, "Can you go in and have a look?" ”
He originally thought that Lu Chensheng would just talk to him about the situation inside, after all, it should be related to the details of Lu Chensheng's rebellion.
didn't expect Lu Chensheng to invite him in to have a look.
For a moment, he felt a little flattered.
"In this way, Du is disrespectful."
He was curious, so he agreed without refusing.
Seeing this, Lu Chensheng led the other party towards the valley.
Out of the courtyard, I took a slight turn in the old town, passed the place guarded by a few soldiers, and then I saw a sudden cheerfulness in front of me.
The valley is extremely large, but at a glance, you can see a dense crowd of people working hard.
Du Rufang only came to his senses at this moment.
No wonder, there aren't many people in the city, but they've all come here.
Looking at the castle wall on the mountain range from here, it still feels extremely majestic.
"This city wall has just been built, how did Brother Lu do it?"
It's only been a long time, this mountain range is so high that it can build a city wall, Du Rufang feels incredible.
"It's just a hanger."
Lu Chensheng said, pointing to the place in the distance where the hanger was being used to adjust the orientation of the stone, "That's the hanger, you can easily transport the stone to a high place with such a thing, and you don't need to waste too much effort." ”
Du Rufang was stunned when he listened.
With such a small thing, you can easily carry a boulder to a high place?
Du Rufang was a little unconvinced, but after a closer look, the person pulling the rope in front of him was just an adult.
And such a boulder is not something that an adult can pull and move, right?
This time, some of Du Rufang's disbelief changed, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Du Rufang followed Lu Chensheng and walked inside, and the people on the side were all working in full swing, without the slightest appearance of being forced.
And those who were not overseers on the side, took whips and beat them.
All this was seen by him.
Judging from their looks and bodies, they are definitely not acting for him.
"Looks like you're treating these people very well."
After watching it for a while, Du Rufang sighed suddenly, "In the past, in places like this, those officials scolded the people who worked, but I didn't expect Brother Lu to treat them so kindly." ”
It's no wonder that so many people from the Great Cangguo Kingdom have come here, and they would rather risk becoming outcasts to come here.
Looking at it now, it is indeed not without reason.
Lu Chensheng shook his head when he heard this, "There is no need to praise this matter, why does it make Brother Du feel that it is already worthy of praise if he does not whip the people?" ”
Du Rufang was stunned when he heard this, yes.
Isn't that the right thing to do? Why do you think you should be praised at this moment?
In the past, I saw a lot of such things, so I felt that Lu Chensheng's approach was worthy of praise?
Thinking of this, Du Rufang showed a wry smile on his lips, and then bowed deeply to Lu Chensheng.
"Du has been taught."
Lu Chensheng calmly accepted the other party's gift, and the other party's values have been changed by some things.
"If Brother Lu can succeed in his rebellion, it will be a blessing to all the people."
Du Rufang spoke on the side.
Listening to Lu Chensheng's statement, he felt that if the emperor replaced Lu Chensheng to do it, it might be very good.
At the very least, these people should be very happy, after all, Lu Chensheng treats them sincerely.
"It's too early to say that."
Lu Chensheng did not talk to Du Rufang about the ideal preparation, and continued to take the other party to the front to visit.
The speed of construction of the houses in the valley made Du Rufang nod his head frequently, and the cement road under his feet was even more amazing.
He recognized it, and it seemed to be the same material he had seen on the walls.
And it's such a material, not to mention that it's extremely blunt, and it's extremely smooth and easy to walk.
This amazed him, if such a road could be paved everywhere, then the speed of the carriage would be much higher, right?
Du Rufang told Lu Chensheng about this idea, and got Lu Chensheng's nod of approval.
"If all such roads are paved, it will naturally speed up the carriage, but how easy is it to pave them all?"
Without the help of machinery, it is all about manually grinding some materials into powder, which is too time-consuming and laborious, and the output is not much.
Therefore, according to what Du Rufang said, Lu Chensheng felt that it was difficult to achieve.
Not to mention, in a place as huge as the three countries of Jiang, it would take even more time to pave the road.
When Du Rufang heard this, he also knew the rarity of this material, and he immediately felt a little regretful, but suddenly.
A thought flashed through his mind.
"Hey, Brother Lu, you said, if you use your method of building a city wall to build a dam, can you prevent flooding?"
Du Rufang's eyes widened, he looked at the road on the ground, and then at the city wall on the mountain range.
