"Where can I easily give up the love of the hometown?" Zhou Nan said understandingly, "What's more, in my heart, although the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom fought and killed, they were brotherly countries after all, and maybe they would become a country in the future." ”

"I'd like you to send troops to the Great Song Dynasty and become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." Yang Keshi saw Zhou Nan's sincere expression, and said without any scruples.

Shi Yue heard what Zhou Nan said that it would become a country in the future, and his eyes lit up, "The master of the big village, the small one is also like General Yang, and I hope the master of the big village will be the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhou Nan said, "Maybe it will become a family in the future", naturally it is based on the history of later generations, but it is not as Yang Keshi and Shi Yue thought, destroying the Great Song Dynasty, and then merging the Great Song Dynasty into their own territory.

"The Southern Dynasty has its own emperor, we sent troops for no reason to fight for that emperor, I don't know how many people will suffer and lose their lives, how can we bear it?" If Zhou Nan is allowed to capture the Japanese island and capture the Goryeo Kingdom, it will not be a problem. If Zhou Nan is allowed to send troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty, first, the people in the Great Song Dynasty are not poor and the people are displaced; Second, the Great Song Dynasty has not yet reached the point of centrifugation of monarchs and ministers. If you are unknown, even if you win, you will not be popular with the people.

In the next few days, Tao Gu, Shi Yue and the others were busy selecting people, and Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi didn't need to add too much, so they quickly filled up their respective 8,000 posts. Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi were idle, and they deliberately led people to move forward along the road where the Jin army escaped. After coming back, Yang Keshi admired Zhou Nan even more, it turned out that the front was really as Zhou Nan said, although there was a road forward, but it was only between the mountains and the sea, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and the road was mostly swampy, muddy and difficult to walk. Only in some places where the mounds are raised can you see some people building thatched huts and planting some fields to survive. After running forward for a hundred and ten miles, they still couldn't see the head, so the two of them brought people back.

In later generations, the western Liaoning Corridor, that is, from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, was partly due to the retreat of the sea, which reduced the erosion of the ground, and the other half because more people migrated over to change the environment. Now these two factors have not yet been reached, and naturally there is no point in occupying them.

More than ten days later, a large number of stonemasons, bricklayers, and carpenters, a total of more than 300 people, were mobilized from the capital, escorted by soldiers sent by Feng Jin, and arrived from Yanjing City in more than 40 carriages.

Along with him, there was also an official in his forties, and at the same time sent a letter from Yu Liyan. At a glance, this official knew that he was the kind of person who was good at connecting up and down, and said to Zhou Nan with a respectful face: "The villain Ding Yuanmu was originally the general of Da Liao as a young eunuch, and now Princess Meng is valued for promotion, and he will be appointed as a young eunuch for the time being. The princess said that the villain came here with craftsmen to help the horse build a new Guancheng, and then the villain would be mentioned as the eunuch. The villain himself came and obeyed the horse's dispatch. ”

"Soon after the establishment of the prison, there are many things, how can you, as a young eunuch, come here in person?" Zhou Nan frowned, feeling that this Ding Yuanmu also loved the camp too much, and in order to please himself, he actually left a lot of things to be a prisoner and ran to himself.

"Hui Ma, will be the prison now set up three young eunuchs, the princess intends to elect a chief eunuch among the three of me, so the capital has left me, and there are two other young eunuchs." Ding Yuanmu replied respectfully.

"I see." Zhou Nan asked with concern, "You brought those craftsmen with you?" ”

"Back to the horses, to build the city, there are stonemasons, carpenters, bricklayers, plate builders, blacksmiths, etc., and now the construction has not started, the villain first chose the plate builders, stonemasons, bricklayers to come, and wait for the main body to be completed, and then transfer carpenters and blacksmiths." Ding Yuanmu replied fluently, and when it came to these projects, he seemed to be very familiar with them.

Zhou Nan nodded and said, "The matter of building the city has been roughly envised, you can send someone to ask General Shi." I need you to find a few craftsmen with quick minds, the best who can read and write. ”

Ding Yuanmu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the craftsmen who will be selected to be superintendents have a lot of literacy and hyphenation. It's just that I don't know what to do with the horse, so I can choose the right craftsman. ”

This question made Zhou Nan a little difficult to answer, cement was used the most by bricklayers in later generations, but it stands to reason that it is the closest to the work of the plate builder; There are also stonemasons, who are also to be touched. Zhou Nan had no choice but to say: "You can choose two of the plate builders, bricklayers, and stonemasons, I have an urgent need." ”

This Ding Yuanmu, although he is a little slippery, he is neat in his work. Soon he brought six craftsmen to see Zhou Nan and said: "The villain has selected six people, all of whom are craftsmen with excellent skills selected this time, and they are waiting for the horses to send them. ”

Six craftsmen-like people hurriedly saluted Zhou Nan, and Zhou Nan said: "The six of you are summoned here today to make cement and speed up the construction of Shanhaiguan." ”

One of the six said, "We waited but were sent by horses, but we didn't know what cement was, and I didn't know what to do." ”

Zhou Nan smiled: "It doesn't matter, I've only heard about it, and I haven't done it myself." Therefore, I summoned the six of you to come, and I only said the Fazi, and the six of you came to try to do it. I'll check it out when it's done. ”

"Please show me." The six asked earnestly.

Zhou Nan tried to ask, "Do you know how to make quicklime?" "The most important thing in cement is quicklime, and it would be much easier if these people could know how to make quicklime. Although I know that quicklime is calcined from stones, I don't know how to calcine it or how long it will be calcined.

"Back to the horse, the villain and the two are plate builders, although they are not specialized in calcining lime, they probably know." Two of the craftsmen said.

"That's just right." Zhou Nan was overjoyed and said: "The two of you first burn some lime and grind it into fine powder. It doesn't take much, let's burn 200 catties first. ”

"Yes, colt. I'll do it. The two boarders replied.

"Wait," Zhou Nan stopped the two of them, and said, "Then two hundred catties of clay have also been calcined and ground into fine powder." The clay should be fine clay with few grains of sand. ”

The builders often deal with clay and lime, and these two things are not very difficult, and they agreed.

"Young Eunuch Ding, I don't know where to get plaster?" Zhou Nan asked Ding Yuanmu, who was listening in a daze.

"Gypsum—ah, colt, but the plaster in the Materia Medica?" Ding Yuanmu asked.

"Exactly." Zhou Nan knew that gypsum was also a type of Chinese herbal medicine, and nodded and said.

"Then the villain will send people to the states and counties to buy. I don't know how much plaster is needed? ”

"Let's use two hundred pounds too!" Zhou Nan said vaguely, "You find a few more blacksmiths and carpenters." ”

If the cement is fired, a few hundred catties is not enough, and it is necessary to find a way to make a set of tools for grinding, selecting and matching powder, so as to be able to produce a large amount of cement.
