No matter how you look at this city, it is only a city wall, and there are few buildings in the city. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Didn't Zhang Gensheng say that the iron-making furnace was built in the city for safety? Li Yu didn't see a stove when he came into the city, but there was a large group of slave laborers in the southwest corner of the city who were busy building something.

"Zhang Shi, why is there basically nothing else in this city you supervised except for the city wall and a mansion, a bunch of barracks full of tents, how does this look like it has been built?"

Xue Ne squeaked and looked around the city and kept commenting, which made Zhang Shi's brain, who was boasting just now, darken.

"Xue Dayang, it would be good to be able to rely on 5,000 people to build the walls of this city like a city in a month, so that people can have a safe place to live. According to your statement, you have to build the city like the Central Plains City, manpower, you can find me enough manpower, and it is not impossible to build it in half a month. Zhang Shi was a little unhappy and stretched out his hand to Xue Ne to ask for someone, which made Xue Ne's face a little embarrassed, and wisely closed his mouth for comment.

Li Yu ignored the two arguing, and when they walked to the city, they stopped and inspected the city, except for the city wall, the city gate, the military camp and the only house that were guarded by soldiers, there were thousands of slave laborers in the southwest corner.

Looking at the big lonely mountain outside the city, there should be thousands of people and horses on the mountain, and the dust produced by digging the mountain rocks is full of sky. So why are you in a hurry to mine before the city is built?

"The barracks where the defenders and artisans lived in the city had not yet been built, and I had not seen the iron-making furnaces, and the whole city was like a large open-air prison walled, but most of the slaves were sent to open mines. What's going on? ”

Seeing this situation, Li Yu was a little disappointed, obviously not as smooth as Zhang Gensheng said in the letter, let alone as good as Zhang Shi said, and his mood was no longer as excited when he first arrived.

Li Yu, who had a gloomy face, made Zhang Shi feel a little panicked, and was annoyed that Zhang Gensheng's father and son were fooling around and delaying the progress of the project, and he should not have agreed to their approach in the first place.

Zhang Shi had to bite the bullet and replied: "All this is implemented according to Zhang Gensheng's arrangement, and His Royal Highness has to ask Zhang Gensheng about the specific situation." ”

Li Yu turned his head and glanced at Zhang Shi expressionlessly, obviously shirking responsibility, you are a local defender general who still doesn't know the situation of the engineering project?

"Then why don't you call Zhang Gensheng for questioning?"

"No!" Zhang Shi immediately sent several personal soldiers around him to find Zhang Gensheng, as for where Zhang Gensheng is now, he really doesn't know, as long as there is no slave work disorder, he basically will not run to the construction site to eat ashes. Now I am in a hurry to find someone, so I can only look for it from place to place, nothing more than the construction site in the city, the mines outside the city, and the riverside.

Zhang Shi, who knew that what he had done did not satisfy Li Yu, smiled and cautiously welcomed Li Yu and his party into the only mansion in the north of the city.

This mansion is also the official office of the city, which was designed and planned here by Zhang Gensheng, the person in charge of the project; Discuss with Zhang Shi, entertain the officials from above, and be responsible for the office of the officials who are responsible for the receipt and distribution of materials.

Li Yu walked into the courtyard carefully, there was not even a guest room, and he couldn't help shaking his head, these people are used to sleeping in tents, right?

Sitting in the hall, drinking tea from his own trading house, he looked up and saw Zhang Gensheng, who was almost fifty and half-white haired, led a young queen to hurry up.

"See Your Highness!"

"Excuse me, Zhang Gensheng, what this king saw when he entered the city is very inconsistent with what you said in the report! There is not even an iron-making furnace in this city, except for the courtyard of the city wall, and the king wants to know why. ”

Zhang Gensheng stood in the hall, King Yan didn't let him sit and didn't dare to run to the cushion on the side to sit, looking a little nervous, he didn't expect King Yan to come to inspect in person so soon. Looking at Zhang Shi, this old boy was sitting in a serious tea, if others didn't know, they would still think he was a literati.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Gensheng was ready to tell the truth, and if there was any punishment, he planned to take it alone. Chengcheng really shouldn't have listened to his son like this. Ay! How can I be old and confused after working for decades?

Zhang Gensheng, who was about to honestly confess his big package after finishing the ideological struggle, was crossed by Zhang Xiaofan as soon as he opened his mouth, and bowed his hand to Li Yu in the upper seat: "Your Highness, the construction of the city iron workshop is not what Your Highness sees. ”

Li Yu, the little descendant who followed Zhang Gensheng, didn't pay attention to it, and this person appeared in front of Li Yu past Zhang Gensheng, and his handsome face, which was as beautiful as a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, made Li Yu suddenly at a loss, and blinked his mouth without making a sound.

"This can't be a beautiful girl dressed as a man!" Xue Ne's eyes widened, and he muttered quietly. The other guards brought by Li Yu all stared at Zhang Xiaofan without blinking, their eyes were surprised and admired.

Zhang Shi saw that a group of men in the hall were attracted by a small man's appearance, and almost opened his mouth to laugh wildly, and when he thought of His Royal Highness being forced to suffocate here, his chest was suffocated. Belly slandered: A group of guys who have never seen the world. Si didn't remember that when he first saw Zhang Xiaofan, he almost hugged him and rolled the sheets.

"Ahem>< Li Yu saw a statue of a pig brother under his hand, his face was a little unbearable, and he coughed twice to remind this group of guys who are in heat when they see beautiful women, whether this person is male or female has not yet been identified.

A group of big bosses suddenly sat in danger without squinting, and as for the corner of their eyes, they couldn't stop looking at Zhang Xiaofan.

Zhang Xiaofan was very helpless, he always met a group of men who didn't know his male body when he saw him for the first time, and had some thoughts about his appearance that he shouldn't have.

Zhang Gensheng sighed heavily, why did his ancestral grave come to his own generation to smoke? gave birth to a man who was more beautiful than a woman. I heard that many powerful children are good men, and then I saw that King Yan's eyes lit up when he looked at Eryang, and he seemed to be surprised and excited. Zhang Gensheng began to worry in his heart, if King Yan is as good as the eldest son of the previous emperor, then wouldn't my son?

Li Yu knew what the sad Zhang Gensheng was thinking, and if he knew, he would definitely lift Zhang Gensheng's ears and slap his mouth wildly and shout: "Lao Tzu is a straight man!" ”

Li Yu puffed up his chest and asked in a friendly manner, "Zhang Gensheng, who is this person?" Why is it here? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Gensheng to answer, Zhang Xiaofan replied: "Xiaomin Zhang Xiaofan is Zhang Gensheng's second son, and this time he left the house to learn the family prospecting and ironmaking skills from his father. ”

"Huh? It's a man! Xue Ne and the others opened their mouths wide and looked at Zhang Xiaofan in surprise, and the faces of the few people who were obscene in their hearts just now were obviously ugly.

, it's actually a man who has been thinking about it for a long time, me!

In my previous life, I read the history books, and recorded many men who were more handsome than women in various eras in history, but I didn't expect that I would see one person with my own eyes today. Thinking back carefully about the memories of the previous life, it seems that there were no such characters in the Tang Dynasty! Maybe it's not famous, or it's not recorded in a book that is not known to ordinary people, Li Yu thought.

"It's not like that!" learned that Zhang Xiaofan was a man, and he was father and son with Zhang Gensheng, who was ugly, short, and rough-skinned. Xue Ne and the others stared at the two for comparison, how could it be that the difference in appearance was so big that it could not be father and son.

Li Yu compared it, and came to the conclusion that Zhang Xiaofan may have been picked up by Zhang Gensheng, there are many children born in the family in this era, and it is not uncommon for Zhang Gensheng to throw away children if he can't stand it.

Zhang Xiaofan's father and son stood very embarrassed and were looked at by everyone in the hall, as if they were rare birds and beasts caught from the mountain and placed in the hall **** for others to watch.

Xue Ne and his group looked at others without any scruples, and always muttered that their biological father and son were not biological, which made Zhang Shi unbearable. I got along with Zhang Xiaofan's father and son for a while, and the relationship was good. Loudly explained: "Xue Dayang, don't mumble if you don't know the truth, the father and son are real biological beings." ”

"It doesn't look like it!" Immediately, a person whispered puzzled, causing Zhang Shi to frown and bend the other party's eyes.

Regardless of whether he is biological or not, Zhang Xiaofan's appearance is like a woman, which makes Li Yu very surprised and curious, there is nothing else, and it is not a beauty that makes him salivate, it is still important to get down to business.

"Ahem, Zhang Eryang, right, you said that the city iron workshop is not what I saw, then please solve the confusion for this king!"

Li Yu wants to see what Zhang Xiaofan can say besides his beauty, if he can't satisfy himself?

Zhang Xiaofan stopped his father who wanted to explain, and then bowed to Li Yu.
