"I wonder if Brother Li has ever heard of such a thing as cement?"

Li Guangyan nodded and said: "I've heard of it, I heard that it is a new thing, it is used to build a house, and it is a rare thing even in the Great Song Dynasty, but what does this have to do with our party?" In fact, our party members rarely build houses, most of them live in tents, you see so many houses in Xiazhou, in fact, they are all Han people. ”

Sun Yue smiled and said: "Building a house is just an added value of cement, and its real role is actually to build cities and roads." ”

"Casting the city? Road? ”

"Let's put it this way, to build a fortified city as big as Xiazhou, you need to mobilize 100,000 people, build it day and night, and it will take more than a year to build it, and it can almost hollow out the taxes of the entire five states for ten years, but with cement, if you burn bricks on the spot, an identical city, I can repair it in three months with 3,000 people."

"What's that? Three thousand people can repair Xiazhou City in three months? This......... How powerful is this artifact? ”

"Yes, it's so powerful, and in addition to cement, there is almost no cost, my Great Song Dynasty can even send labor to help you build a city, of course, you need to exchange horses, think about it, now only Xiazhou can be called a big city in the entire Dingyan Five Prefectures, if the party has dozens of such big cities or even every tribe has such a big city, what does it mean? The enemies of the Hexi Corridor are, to put it bluntly, those Uighurs, large and small, who have built hundreds or so of Ubun forts over there, and they are still your opponents? Even if it costs something, what is it? ”

Li Guangyan's eyes widened, dozens of big cities like Xiazhou? No, there is no need for so much, as long as there are such big cities in the five states, then the national strength of the party will at least double! They even have the opportunity to live a good life like the Song people!

What's more, the five states of Dingnan are actually only a part of the party items, although the party items are not as chaotic as the Uighurs and Tibetans, but in fact, the internal is also very complicated, there are still a lot of white party items and black party items, and the five states of Dingnan are only the most Han dialect and the closest to the Han people.

They are also nomadic people, why are the Khitans so rich and strong, and the Yelu clan is so easy to speak? Isn't it because they have a city and the sixteen states of Yanyun, if there is really such an artifact, then I will be in trouble with the five states, why can't I become the Yanyun of their party? If their Tuoba clan could really master such an artifact, wouldn't it be easy to unify the party? Isn't their family going to have a Yelu Abaoji?

Thinking of this, Li Guangyan's breathing was heavy.

Sun Yue took the opportunity to increase the weight: "In addition to repairing the city, the more powerful place of this cement is actually to build roads, the northwest is bitter cold, poor mountains and bad waters, everywhere is desert Gobi, even if it is a galloping horse, it is not easy to travel between various tribes, to put it bluntly, isn't it because there is no road, with this cement, take Qinzhou and Xiazhou as an example, build a straight and straight cement road, two thousand people, and it is enough to repair it for two months." ”

They are all smart people, and there is no need for Sun Yue to say what benefits this road will have for their Tuoba clan unification party item, Li Guangyan grabbed Sun Yue's hand and said: "Do it, let's do it, if it is really like what you said, it can really be built, and our party will protect the Hexi Corridor of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Sun Yue smiled and said, "Brother Li, can you be the master of the party?" The matter of the Hexi Corridor is a big project, a big plan, if you really want to see the benefits, how can it take ten years or eight years, I still have to talk to your uncle about this, if Brother Li can help me say a few kind words, brother, I will be grateful. ”

"Don't talk about it, I can't do it, but if my uncle wants to be the master of Yinzhou, he must ask me first, brother, you can directly open a real price, I want to repair Yinzhou City, build Yinzhou City the same as Xiazhou, and pave the entire Yinzhou with two roads, one vertical and one horizontal, how much time and how many horses will it take."

Sun Yue was amused when he heard this, and stretched out five fingers with a smile.

"Fifty thousand? It's not expensive, but brother, brother, I don't have so much, Yinzhou is barren, not as rich as this Xiazhou, you give a discount, 30,000 can't do it, to tell you the truth, even 30,000 horses I have to make up little by little, it would be good to be able to deliver them to you within a year, and now I can take out 20,000, but brother, my horse quality is good, although it is not as good as Qinghai Cheng, but how much Qinghai Cheng, that is the nobles riding to show off, not practical, my Yinzhou horse, is the best horse in the world except Qinghai Cheng, I also know that my request is excessive, but brother, I am really anxious, I will exchange the insufficient part with animal skins and tendons, I owe you a great favor, I swear in the name of Tuoba Sigong's descendants, as long as my brother needs it in the future, I will be on call in the sword mountain and sea of fire. How is it? ”

Sun Yue was stupid, you must know that he stretched out five fingers, he wanted to say five thousand!

However, this obviously did not affect him to pretend to be very embarrassed and said, "Big brother...... It's not that the brothers don't help, it's really this cement...... It's also a rare thing in our Great Song Dynasty, you only have 20,000 horses......"

"Brother, please, finish the construction one day earlier, let's go to attack the Hexi Corridor one day earlier!"

"It's okay, for the sake of the Hexi Corridor, I will suffer a little loss in the Song Dynasty, and the cement of the entire party project can go at this price, but I still have to write a fold to ask for instructions from above, we have to say okay, I will give you such a big discount, and your party project can promise me a condition."

"On what terms?"

"When he was in the Northern Song Dynasty and Yanyun, your party had to help."

"No problem, it should be, it should be, we are sure that the difficult army is the festival of the Great Song Dynasty, what else is there to say, there must be no problem." But brother, if I say something that shouldn't be said, Da Song helps us like this, so we are not afraid that if one day the two families have something dirty......"

In this regard, Sun Yue just smiled and said lightly: "The friendship between our Han nation and the party has been hundreds of years, even since Tuoba Sigong began to be more than a hundred years, we believe that the friendship between the Han nation and the party will be long-lasting, and the party will always be the most trusted friend and partner of our Song people." ”

I don't know if this Li Guangyan really believes it or not, anyway, he nodded vigorously, and he was about to find cervical spondylosis.

Of course, Sun Yue himself would not believe this nonsense if he was a punctuation mark.

The Great Song Dynasty built a city for the party, are you afraid that they will rebel one day? Of course I'm not afraid, what Da Song is afraid of is that they are riding horses in the desert to play hide and seek with themselves, attacking and defending the city? The Great Song Dynasty is their ancestor! It's really not good, so isn't there still gunpowder, although the explosives have not yet been developed, I heard that more than 100 people have been killed in Langzhou, but the gunpowder siege city, the power is not out.

Besides, the real strength of the Han nation is never in force, but in culture, the speed of assimilation of foreign races is simply not too fast, when the party and the Han people live together in a comfortable city together, when the party people no longer have to worry about basic survival needs such as food and clothing, when the entire five states of Dingnan are trained by the highway, and there is no need to worry about finding people, the people will go crazy and drill the desert with your nobles.

The so-called Hu captivity has no 100-year national fortune, and that's what it says, maybe the Han nation on the battlefield is not guaranteed to be strong forever, but when everyone puts down their swords and is together, the Han people are really your ancestors, and the Shatuo people, who were invincible in the world fifty years ago, where are they now?

Once this deal is reached, waiting for the fate of the party, in fact, there is only one left to obediently be a watchdog for the Great Song Dynasty to watch the house on the edge of the Hexi corridor, and even in less than a hundred years, I am afraid that there will be no party items in this world.
