Chapter 375: The Emperor of Yelang's Arrogance
"It's called cement? It's perfect for sticking to stones, so why don't you try it again with a machete? Zhen Thirty-three said very proudly.
Ma Sui was already stupid, he kept swallowing saliva in his throat, and touched the hard city wall with his hand, cement and messy stones can build the city wall, he is not dreaming!
"Still suspect that we can't build a seven-mile Guo in half a year?"
Ma Sui climbed this section of the city wall, which was only less than ten meters, and at this moment he really felt that he was standing on the city wall, which was amazing. Seeing that stones from dozens to hundreds of catties were easily fixed to the city wall, and then someone filled the surrounding area with cement, layer by layer, the gaps between the stones were filled with cement, and even the foundation was filled with boulders, such a city was simply a miracle.
It seems that the only disadvantage is that you need to wait for the bottom layer of cement to dry before you can lay another layer of stones on top, otherwise the speed will be faster.
"That's how you built the city before?"
Ma Sui found that he couldn't see through these people anymore, these people seemed to be Tang people, but they were different from Tang people in everything, and after observing for a long time, he found that these people had one thing in common, that is, they never liked to work with brute force.
This is true for logging, sawn for wood, and for carrying stones with a variety of tools, and it is strange that each person can do many tasks at the same time, as fast as all craftsmen can.
The gravel was not chiseled with an axe, and the sound of the explosion from the direction of Xiangyang Mountain made Ma Sui's heart tremble, and he wanted to see what was going on there, but he was stopped.
Many deep wells were dug in the land of Jingmadian, and after discovering that a viscous liquid was coming out of one of the deep wells, it was sealed off, and Ma Sui saw that countless oxen dragged carts every day, dragging barrels of fierce fire oil out, and then those wooden barrels filled with fierce fire oil were hidden, and the place where the fierce fire oil was hidden was also his own forbidden area.
Ma Sui thought that these people had countless secrets to hide from him, and he very much wanted to know what they were hiding from him, these people were not caravans at all, which Ma Sui discovered very early.
But what exactly this group of people do, this mystery has always haunted Ma Sui, if you want to know what they are doing, what kind of people they are, then you must join them unconditionally, but I want to go home, this desire seems to be a little shaken now.
"You really want to know?" Zhen Thirty-three said with bad intentions.
"It's just pretending to be a ghost!" Ma Sui's confidence is a little insufficient, every time he says such a thing, he feels very false, these are their secrets, the gentleman can't peep into other people's secrets, his mind is like a heavenly being fighting, he waved his sleeves and wanted to leave, but his feet never moved, gritted his teeth and said: "What do you want to do when you come to Murowei?" Don't talk business, I don't see that you look like a businessman! ”
"It's impossible for a merchant to build a city here, it's impossible for a merchant to gather the Murowei herdsmen, the merchant will only buy low and sell high, and the merchant will only smell copper, right?"
Zhen Thirty-three washed his face in a bucket, washed off the plaster on his hands, and handed his wine jug to Ma Sui and said: "In the eyes of you people, the people in the world are divided into four classes, but in the eyes of my master, everyone in the world is equal, whether it is a businessman who regards money as his life, or a farmer who works hard in the field, or a craftsman who eats by hand, and then those pretentious and high-ranking scholars, in fact, it is a profession, the son of a businessman can be an official, and the son of a farmer can do businessThe children of scholars can also become craftsmen, you might as well think about it, whose ancestors have always been scholars, or who were born slaves, and those ancient noble descendants have become untouchables? ”
Ma Sui knew that Zhen Thirty-three couldn't say these words, it should be the words from the master's mouth that he often mentioned, "You want to rebel?" ”
"What kind of rebellion, what kind of fucking rebellion, does Lao Tzu seem to want to be a rebel and thief? If the dog can't spit out ivory, don't talk nonsense, be careful that Lao Tzu sues you for slander! ”
Zhen Thirty-three wanted to kick the cat that kicked the tail and jumped up, why do these people always think that others will rebel when they are fine, is it fun to rebel? Who doesn't want to rebel if they don't want to live a good life, thinking about it makes people angry: "Brother Ma! The two of us are friends, you can take medicine indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, it's going to kill people? ”
Ma Sui was almost amused by Zhen Thirty-three, and stopped Zhen Thirty-three from continuing to whisper: "That's good...... Let me ask you, you people have been well documented along the way, and the weapons and armor on your bodies are well-known, saying that you are not an army, do you believe it? ”
"We're either an army or a businessman!"
Zhen Thirty-three looked at the guards around him who were armed to the teeth, and said with a smile: "If you want to lie to me, don't dream, tell the truth and you don't believe it, we are really businessmen, as for the weapon march, this is the way to protect, you think that the horse thieves along the way are all vegetarians, if we are not as powerful as the horse thieves, you think we will come here ......."
"Then why did you build a city here, didn't you want to rebel? This is the Tang Dynasty's Prison Prefecture, everything you do here is a major crime of rebellion, and you dare to say that you are not a rebellion? ”
Zhen Thirty-three blinked his eyes, pulled Ma Sui to the front of a cauldron, there are a lot of fish in the black sea area, and they are very stupid, some of the big fish are about to become fine, it is no problem to go down to thousands of catties in one net, such a good thing Murowei people can't do, but unfortunately the caravan doesn't bring much salt, and they don't dare to catch more, there is no salt salting when they catch it, they can only cast a few nets every day, and after the fish is cooked, the Murowei people are crazy to eat.
Zhen Thirty-three still liked to eat fish at first, but after eating it for half a month, his mouth was full of fishy smell, and he wanted to vomit when he saw fish.
"Look at how good these fish are, not only are there herds of cattle and sheep here, but also mountain goods, mink, pearls, deer antler velvet ......, these are not treasures in the Tang Dynasty, you said that this is the Tang Dynasty's Bondage Prefecture, did you see a Tang man when we came here? Not at all! The people of Murowei are the emperor of the soil here, do you think it is the land of the Tang Dynasty, have the people here admitted it? Even if we occupy this land, it will be considered a rebellion, and whoever is plotting against it is the rebellion of the people of Murowei! The Khitans fight with the Tang Dynasty every year, and when they need it, they run to the Tang Emperor and say that they are subjects, when have you ever seen such a courtier, rewarding the barbarians around the Tang Dynasty with an official position, and thinking that it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, don't you think this kind of thing is ridiculous? ”
"I heard the master tell a story about Yelang's arrogance, saying that an indigenous person has a hundred miles of land, and immediately thinks that the world should only be a hundred miles big, and other places are not as good as under their buttocks, but they don't know that the world is bigger than the limit that people believe, and they dare to call themselves China (the meaning of the country in the middle), which is ridiculous!"
