"Well, I didn't contact those shops to purchase stones, so I'll find someone now and inform General Li to send someone to negotiate with those shops and see the situation?"

The fat man heard that Yu Wenze wanted them to ask if the shops in the border town would sell stones.

He really didn't expect this, so he agreed, and was going to find someone to inform General Li to send someone to negotiate and see if it could work, if there were shops that were really willing to sell stones, it would save some trouble.

"Hmm!"

Of course, there are a few stewards on the construction site here, so the fat man beckoned someone to come over.

I didn't listen carefully to what the fat man had told the man, but I saw that the man quickly mounted his horse and returned to the direction of the camp, probably reporting to General Li what he had just said.

After this was instructed, the fat man and Yu Wenze began to introduce the fortifications here about how long it would take to complete.

It is estimated that Yu Wenze was dissatisfied with the speed of construction, so he frowned slightly.

Hearing the conversation between the two, mainly because of the matter of stones, the city wall could not be built quickly, Zhang Xiaoxue couldn't help but look at the oxcart pulling the stones.

Seeing the ox cart pulling the stones, it walked not far away, making a creaking and creaking sound, and the rut marks on the ground were very deep, and it could be seen that the stones pulled were very heavy.

Although most of the ox carts only pull a few large stones, they do not seem to be lightly loaded, and the speed of the ox carts is also very slow.

The driver of the cart followed on foot, and at such a slow speed, no one was willing to whip the whip on the ox, at most, he just flicked the whip in the air from time to time, and made a sound to remind the oxen to pull the cart harder.

Zhang Xiaoxue suddenly remembered the allusion of Meng Jiangnu crying about the Great Wall, but the peasants who came to work here came to build the city wall, but they had the wages to get paid.

Just now, I heard the fat man like Yu Wenze report how much they were paid, and I think the fat man wouldn't make up and deceive people.

Since there was no compulsion to force unwilling peasants to come here to build the city wall, it would not have happened to Meng Jiangnu's tragic thing.

Zhang Xiaoxue shook her head, shook off the thoughts in her mind, and suddenly remembered that since there was such a shortage of stones here, she had a lot of stones in her hands.

Didn't Yu Wenze also say just now, let the fat man order someone to go to the border town to find a shop to buy stones?

Otherwise, she would also sell some of the stones to Yu Wenze and them, so that she could not only earn a sum of silver taels, but also be able to help Yu Wenze.

Anyway, a lot of the stones in the warehouse of the miner's hut have been saved, except for some for their own use, the rest can only be sold to the farm system for star coins.

Compared with star coins, Zhang Xiaoxue is naturally more willing to exchange items for silver taels, thinking that it will be more affordable.

After all, you can really buy a lot of things, unlike the star coins in the farm, which always feels like a virtual one, although you can also buy a lot of items, it will always give Zhang Xiaoxue a feeling of game currency.

Moreover, there are trading shops, and Zhang Xiaoxue's source of obtaining star coins is very stable, and he really doesn't care about the small profit he gets from selling products to the farm system.

After thinking about it in his heart, he walked up to Yu Wenze and the fat man, and said with a smile.

"Brother Ze, I heard you say that it is not easy to mine stones, and it seems that it is even more difficult to transport them here, that ox cart can only pull a few stones at a time, and the speed is so slow.

You have to find someone to go to the shops in the border town and ask them if they sell the stones, I actually have some stones in my hand, I will take them out and see if they can be used, if they can be used, look at it......"

Zhang Xiaoxue's words made Yu Wenze feel a kind of surprise in his heart, and when he heard her say that she had a stone in her hand, she suddenly remembered the kind of beautiful and hard stone she had seen in Zhang Xiaoxue's house.

However, the stone is very precious and rare at first glance, and it is overused to build the city wall, although the city wall will become stronger, but it is too luxurious.

"Haha, great, Sister Xiaoxue has the stone in her hand, then sell it to us, the fat brother will definitely give you a good price." ”

Now that Zhang Xiaoxue has spoken, the fat man is not inactive, knowing the meaning of Zhang Xiaoxue's words, he didn't wait for Zhang Xiaoxue to take the initiative to ask the price, so he said that he would give a good price.

Zhang Xiaoxue listened to the fat man's words, pursed her lips and smiled, waved her hand directly, and first took out a two-meter-square bluestone, and then took out a one-meter-square marble and a white marble.

"It is these three kinds of stones, this kind of bluestone has the largest area and the largest quantity, and it is a very common stone on the mountain.

This is marble and white marble, which is much less abundant and harder, and is also a rare stone. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue introduced these three kinds of stones to the two, originally she only wanted to take out the bluestone, but she didn't know if they would need marble and white marble, so she took them out together.

After Yu Wenze saw the larger and ordinary bluestone, the original entanglement in his heart was gone.

"Sister Xiaoxue, the two kinds of marble and white marble you took out are very rare and precious at first glance, and they are still too extravagant to build the city wall, just use this kind of bluestone.

How many bluestones do you have, and if you don't need them, you can sell them to us. ”

After checking the total number of bluestones in the warehouse of the miners' hut with her mind, Zhang Xiaoxue replied: "The number of bluestones is a total of nine thousand eight hundred. ”

In fact, with the addition of a piece of bluestone just taken out, it should be nine thousand eight hundred and one, and the fraction of this piece will be erased, and it will be settled when the time comes.

"Sister Xiaoxue took out the bluestone is so neat and huge like this one?"

The fat man was very happy when he saw the neat and square bluestones, and he didn't know if all the stones were so neat and huge, so he couldn't wait to ask.

"The bluestones are all neat and square like this, and the size is the same. ”

"Haha! That saves a lot of effort, just build it, smear a little clay and build it, so that the speed of building the city wall can be improved a lot. ”

"Then let's get closer, I'll put the stone in the nearest place, and save them from consignment. ”

"Okay, I'm bothering Sister Xiaoxue again. ”

"Hey, what's polite to me, it's just a gesture, and besides, it's not that you don't give me money, I still earn it. ”

After discussing the price of each piece of bluestone while walking, the three of them arrived near the construction and chose a relatively wide place, and Zhang Xiaoxue directly took out all the bluestones in the warehouse of the miner's hut with his mind.

There are 9,800 pieces of bluestone, and because of the huge area, the scene of piling up together is still very spectacular.

If it weren't for the fact that the bluestone and bluestone would have to be plastered with clay, Zhang Xiaoxue would have been able to build most of the city wall with his mind.
