The ugly child said wryly: "It's actually very simple, do you remember the book "Earth Balance" that Miao Long gave me? This method is recorded in this book, and the methods in this book are all ways of gods and demons, which are very difficult to learn, and I only learned this one. ”

"As expected, Chou'er learned the secret method given by Miao Long, but this is not what he wants to know" Di Feng grabbed Chou'er's arm and made a gesture, and scared: "Ghost clever, you know that I am not asking about these, don't be sloppy, tell me your family background and identity, otherwise if one day your family comes to me and accuses me of abducting a beloved, teach me how to justify?" ”

The ugly child couldn't be confused, her big eyes rolled, and she said shyly: "Di Feng, look at whether I have looked the same as Thirteen Niang recently", and deliberately raised her small breasts, which were not big.

Di Feng glanced at the ugly child's newly developed chest, pouted and said, "Cut!" What's so good about Wangzai's small steamed buns, don't do it, hurry up, don't want to fool the past this time."

Seeing that her little trick was exposed, Di Feng mentioned her family background again, and her expression instantly dimmed, "What I said is true, I have no parents and no family, I am an orphan who grew up in the mountains, you can rest assured, even if I die in Di Fu, no one will come to you to ask for someone", the ugly said with red eyes, as if she was about to cry.

Although there are many loopholes in Chou'er's words, seeing that Chou'er's sad appearance does not seem to be a fraud, Di Feng's heart softened and took Chou'er into his arms, and said softly: "It's me who is not good, just when I never asked, as long as you don't say it in the future, I will never ask again, let's talk about something happy, I heard that your brick factory has made new progress, what's going on?" ”

Di Feng changed the topic, making the ugly child burst into laughter, she rubbed her nose on Di Feng's body, and then said happily: "The cement you asked us to study last time, we have researched it, that thing was originally burned out of stone, but it has not been fully mastered, the cement is good and bad when it is burned, but it can be used to build a house by building a wall, we have experimented on the city wall where the effect is not bad, do you want to see it?" ”

"Is there such a thing? Let's go and take a look", Di Feng didn't expect his casual remark, he really let the ugly children study the cement, if this thing is used to build the city wall, it will be much easier, as long as you can make a large cement brick with a mold, if you don't want to be beautiful, this city wall transformation can be completely completed in a few days.

When Di Feng arrived at the brick factory, he saw that the No. 100 workers were busy firing cement, but when Di Feng saw the "cement" in Chou'er's mouth, his original excitement suddenly stopped, this is not cement, but something similar to lime.

Di Feng asked Chou'er to call the head of the craftsman who was holding the experimental development, and asked, "What's your name?" How do you make it? ”

The craftsman first saw Di Feng excitedly stuttering a little...... The little Chen Liu, originally ...... At...... I helped in the Pengshui kiln, and this cement was found when the small stove was paved with soil,...... There are many such grey stones near Montenegro where the stove is paved,......"

After listening to Chen Liu's explanation, Di Feng understood probably, it turned out that Chen Liu took people to the stove shop to find clay when he accidentally found that there were many gray stones and gray soil on the black mountain and at the foot of the mountain.

Di Feng couldn't help but wonder, he remembered in a trance that the cement was going to be burned out of the limestone, and he didn't know how to burn it, but the temperature was probably not low, and it was difficult to do it at the current level, but what was the thing in front of him? Di Feng looked at the sample in front of him curiously, and patted the cement bricks that had been made into finished products with his hands, feeling very hard and strong.

Di Feng asked Chen Liu to smash the cement brick with a sledgehammer, and the discoverer turned out to be stronger than the green brick, so he couldn't help asking: "What else is added to this brick besides cement?" ”

"Master Hui, in addition to cement and clay, making this cement brick is easier than green bricks, as long as there is a mold poured into the cement and dried," Chen Liu said excitedly.

Di Feng has been to the stove shop and knows the landform there, according to Di Feng's understanding, the stove shop should have been a volcano in ancient times, and this gray stone and ash may be volcanic ash, and the cement they burned is likely to be a kind of use of volcanic ash that they don't know, since the strength and viscosity are enough, there is no need to worry about what this thing is.

Di Feng immediately asked people to build a frame on the city wall, and then water it with cement mud, which saves time and effort, as long as the watering is completed, and then air-dried for a day or two, a cement castle is completed.

The workers here in Xinning are working overtime, Xie Wuling is listening to the report of his subordinates in Mingzhou, "Lord Buddha, the manpower scattered to various places is almost there, now the four counties of Hongdu, Xiangyong, Wanzi, and Yinglong, the people are not happy, and the city defense of these four counties is also the weakest, as long as we raise the banner of righteousness, these four counties will easily enter the hands of my Maitreya Sect, and there is no movement on the Qianzhou side, and I don't know what the arrangement of the Qianzhou Terracotta Division is for the time being."

"Continue to investigate, especially in Qianzhou, two of our people have been arrested, I believe that Qianzhou already knows our plan in general, but I don't know how Li Zihe will arrange it, be careful, the Qianzhou Terracotta Division must be watched, and what happened to the people digging the mountain?" Xie Wuling then asked.

"It's almost the same, as long as we do it here, they will pile up the cliffs on their side, and then most of the roads in various places will be blocked, but it's just ......" The Maitreya disciple hesitated and didn't say the rest of the words.

"Just what?" Xie Wuling urged unhappily.

"It's just that the Tianfu Guanyi is heavily guarded, and now the new General Li has sent people to patrol along the cliff non-stop, and we can't block that road."

Hearing the sect members mention Xinning Tianfu Guanyi, Xie Wuling couldn't help but think of Di Feng, and he subconsciously asked, "How is Xinning now?" ”

"Back to the Buddha, Xinning is too evil, our people can't get in at all, as long as someone inquires about Xinning's news, the local people will immediately raise their vigilance, but according to the report of the people sent, Xinning is now rich in oil, and the people have rice porridge and steamed cakes to eat, and Xinning is now strengthening the city wall, they may have received the news, and it seems to be guarding against us."

"Oh~" Xie Wuling sighed, and laughed in his heart, "Di Feng, Di Feng, isn't it a little late for you to build the city now, okay, for the sake of your hard work, I will give you a period of time, and don't attack your Xinning ...... first."

Di Feng returned to the county government from the brick factory, and immediately asked people to recruit all the officials of the county government, as well as the Lingnan Five Tigers and Lai Wenzhong.

Di Feng said the news of the grass flying in front of everyone, and then began to arrange the work, Tian Yangming was responsible for the integration of the county, and brought those retail households outside the city into the development zone as soon as possible, and notified the village organization Ding Zhuang to inspect everywhere; Wu Dayou and Lai Wenzhong were in charge of the defense arrangements of the Wujiang wharf; The Five Tiger Brothers are responsible for organizing the training of young soldiers; And Di Feng himself sits in Xin'an City.

Everyone was busy for a while, and although there was no panic in Xinning City, there was also a hint of slaughter in the air.

On the other hand, the Wujiang River is still busy, but there are dozens of escort ships equipped with bed crossbows near the merchant ships; In the development zone, the wharf business is now busy, and the business of the merchants is getting bigger and bigger, and a large number of goods hoarding and large sums of money are circulating, so that these merchants have also hired a lot of home guards, and most of the merchants do not care about the danger reminder of the county government.

Four or five days passed, and everything went according to plan, but an unexpected incident broke the brief calm......
