Chapter 715: Stone Mining Is Not Easy

"Alright then, anyway, I will accompany His Highness and you to stay here for a few more days, and I will return to the county town together then.

We must have eaten together a lot, next time I will take a bowl of rice porridge for you to taste, hehe, you will definitely like it after eating. ”

The preciousness of spiritual food, Yu Wenze knew very well in his heart that Zhang Xiaoxue was so willing to take rice porridge out and give it to him even a fat man to eat, which made him more aware of Zhang Xiaoxue's generosity.

But this kind of unilateral acceptance has been unreciprocated, and it really makes people feel indescribable, and they always feel sullen in their hearts, as if something heavy is pressing people a little breathless.

Because he knew that Sister Xiaoxue had good intentions, if he really opened his mouth and refused directly, if he didn't accept these kindnesses, it didn't seem to work, and it would be too bad to know what to do.

Yu Wenze's heart was a little hesitant for a while, and he only felt that he was very useless, because he wanted to reciprocate and help, but he couldn't start, and he didn't know what Sister Xiaoxue could use him?

Yu Wenze was a little eager to repay Zhang Xiaoxue something, but he also knew that he couldn't do it in a short time.

However, Yu Wenze's mind is still quite tenacious, although his heart is hesitant, it didn't take long to relieve himself.

He once again decided to practice the Changchun Technique well, and when his cultivation level increased, his ability would definitely improve accordingly.

At that time, he himself has become stronger, and he may be able to help Zhang Xiaoxue.

This bowl of precious spiritual food pearl rice porridge contained a lot of spiritual energy, and he could feel that he was already absorbing those spiritual energy on his own.

I want to come to his cultivation, because this bowl of spiritual rice porridge will have a corresponding improvement.

Because Yu Wenze's qualifications are very good, the speed and quantity of the spiritual energy in his spiritual food are not comparable to Zhang Xiaoxue, a person with extremely poor qualifications.

The help of some spiritual food to Yu Wenze is even more than Zhang Xiaoxue can imagine, and it is not the same as her own feelings when she eats spiritual food.

This realization was still on the next day, Zhang Xiaoxue and Yu Wenze both ate the same amount of spiritual food at the same time, and Yu Wenze advanced to the first order because of this, and she only learned after entering the first order a long time later.

After eating, the first stop of the three of them was to go to the place where the fat man had been busy for the past two days, which was originally a weak area of city defense.

Now there are a lot of people over there, some of them are ordinary peasants, and some of them are soldiers in military uniforms, all of whom are working hard there, and it seems that they are building a city wall to fill in the weak area of the city's defense.

After the fat man rushed to the northwest camp a few days ago, he first found General Li and told him about it, and also took out a copied map for General Li to see.

At that time, General Li was shocked to see such a realistic map for the first time, and the eagerness for the map in his eyes was obvious to everyone.

He has been stationed on the northwest frontier for not a year or two, although he will change his guard every three years like other generals, but this is also the turn of the third garrison.

Strictly speaking, he has been stationed here for nine years, and he is of course very familiar with the terrain on this side of the border, so he can recognize it at a glance, this map is definitely not scribbled, but really very accurate.

From this map, it can also be seen that there are really several weak areas in the city defense, which are places that have not been noticed before.

Therefore, when General Li and the fat man gathered people and went to the weak areas on the map to check on the spot, they were sure that this was indeed the case, and the map could really be so realistic that there was no deviation at all.

Now that the weak area of the city defense has been checked, it is natural that it cannot be ignored, but to fill this loophole, manpower and material resources are not a small amount.

Of course, as the first person to manage finances under Yu Wenze, the fat man is definitely able to be the master in terms of material resources, and he will definitely not fail to take out this money.

The only thing to worry about is the lack of manpower to work, the population on this side of the border is not dense, to be precise, it is very scarce, and it is necessary to recruit migrant workers in the border towns.

Even if the treatment of migrant workers is really good, it is not so easy to gather the number of people for a while.

This requires the soldiers on the side of the city defense, and some people must personally do these things, instead of some migrant workers.

Fortunately, General Li was able to deploy this matter, so some soldiers had already been dispatched to various weak areas of the city's defense, and they had already started quarrying and busy.

In the past two days, some migrant workers have been recruited from the border towns.

So when Zhang Xiaoxue came here under the leadership of the fat man and Yu Wenze, what he saw was a fairly prosperous and lively scene.

Because it is all manual and there is no modern mechanization, the efficiency naturally does not seem to be high.

Because there were few stones in the vicinity of this place, and stones had to be collected from afar to build the walls, this work could not be done in a short period of time.

"Hey, there are so few big stones here, and it is so inconvenient to find a suitable stone, and you have to go to a distant place to mine it, and it will take a lot of work to build a wall out. ”

The fat man pointed to some ox carts that were carrying stones from a distance in a trailer, and introduced them to Yu Wenze.

"I have to take some trouble to build the walls of this place, and I can't ignore the loopholes in this place. ”

To build a solid city wall, small stones are not enough, basically you need to use large stones, it is indeed not easy to mine, not to mention, the area where the stones are distributed, can not be as people want.

When I saw a trailer, a large stone was placed on it, and I couldn't pull it even if I put too many cows, which showed the efficiency.

"There should also be some wealthy merchants in the border towns, have you sent someone to buy stones from them? In this way, the people under the merchants can also help solve some of the stones. ”

Yu Wenze knew that there were several families in the border town that had shops here, and they were doing the business of reselling tea and a small amount of grain, and selling furs.

The benefits of this fur are also very considerable, and they are not short of people in their hands.

Although most of them sell animal skins and furs with the Snowy Country, as long as the profits are big enough and they want to come to the stone business, they should be willing to accept it.

What's more, the construction of the city wall is also for the safety of the border town, which is also beneficial to them, and if they have interests and no losses, they should be willing to support it.

Although they will send caravans deep into the Snowy Country to do fur business with them before winter, they can't resist the fact that the people on the other side of the Snowy Country are really hungry, and they will constantly intrude on the border, and their caravans will sometimes suffer.

If the city is destroyed, their shops will also be looted, although the people of the Snowy Land will have business dealings with them, there will be no accidents.
