"What do you want to do?"

Fang Yuan and Juzi spoke at the same time.

The giant originally wanted to stand in front of Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan was younger, reacted more quickly, and protected the giant behind him.

The state officials guarding the door immediately reacted, and hurriedly rushed to Fang Yuan and the others, guarding both sides.

"I don't want to settle accounts with you right now."

"What about the person just now, where does he live, I'm going to challenge him!"

Xue Bowu crossed his hands on his waist and said loudly.

"There, that's the third in the past."

Fang Yuan frowned, pointed in a direction opposite and said in a deep voice.

"One, two, three, thank you."

Xue Bowu looked over and counted it himself.

Then he turned around, shouted thank you to Fang Yuan, and walked over.

It seems that because his body has not yet recovered, he almost fell.

Looking at the way he walks, his body seems to have been hollowed out, and he should not have recovered yet.

"Fang Yuan, he. He can't be abnormal, right? ”

The giant looked at Xue Bowu's back and said with a strange expression.

The young man's reaction surprised him.

I thought it was squatting to find Fang Yuan's trouble.

I didn't expect to ask the two for directions.

"I don't know, it's possible."

"Zheng Jiu, go and inquire about Xue Bowu."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said uncertainly.

Today, Pei Yinghua and others pleaded for Xue Bowu, which surprised him.

"Yes."

Zheng Jiu left in response.

"Fang Yuan, we still don't look at the cement road, right?"

The giant suggested.

Xue Bowu is very powerful.

I've seen it in the Assassin's Mansion just now.

It would be dangerous if he reappeared halfway through.

"Giant, you're all too old, and you're still afraid of being young?"

Fang Yuan looked at him speechlessly.

Xue Bowu is powerful, but don't worry too much about his appearance.

And the two of them didn't go out without an escort, so there was no need to worry too much.

"Who said I was scared?"

The giant was immediately dissatisfied, and his beard shook and shook.

The two got into the carriage and set off in the direction of the cement factory in the west of the city.

There are very few workers at the cement factory today, and they worked overtime last night to pave the cement road, and they are off today.

Now there is a long, flat and spacious cement road from the west to the south of the city.

It has not yet dried, but it has taken shape, and it is estimated that it will be officially opened to traffic in two or three days.

"Meet the master, giant!"

Liao Fengmao walked over, his eyes bloodshot.

He yawned and looked like he hadn't slept well.

"Didn't sleep well last night?"

Fang Yuan patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"The road was paved last night."

"After the road was paved, I checked the factory again, and I haven't slept yet."

Liao Fengmao scratched his head and said.

He was just about to lie down casually in the factory.

But as soon as the talent lay down, there was a security guard on duty who reported that Fang Yuan came.

Now, Fang Yuan has set up a security company, and the security guards are arranged to guard in various factories.

Ji Rufeng's work is the same, and the security company set up by Fang Yuan is responsible for the security work.

"It's hard work, go back and rest."

Fang Yuan nodded.

There are other supervisors at the cement factory, and it is not necessary for Liao Fengmao to accompany them.

Speaking of overseers, Fang Yuan wondered if it was necessary to recall all these overseers and continue to act as Fang Mansion's bodyguards.

There were only thirty guards in the Fang Mansion, and only eight were dispatched to the cement factory, and there were also a few in other factories, which greatly reduced the strength of the Fang Mansion.

But these are trustworthy people, and if you don't put your own people in important places, you don't feel very down-to-earth, and you're afraid that the core technology will be stolen.

It seems that the Fang Mansion guards have to recruit some talents, and cultivating some talents who are completely loyal to themselves is the king's way.

"Thank you, Master."

"Oh, by the way, there's news from the coal mine you asked me to inquire about."

Liao Fengmao saluted Fang Yuan and prepared to leave.

But he suddenly remembered the news of the coal mine that Fang Yuan had been asking him to inquire about.

Paving the road in the past few days, he was too busy, he didn't go back to Fang Mansion, and forgot to tell Fang Yuan.

"Say."

Fang Yuan suddenly became interested.

At present, the calcination process of cement factories and steel plants is heated with charcoal.

The temperature produced by charcoal is not as high as that produced by coal, and it does not achieve the effect that Fang Yuan wants.

And now that the weather is cold, Fang Yuan also wants to refine some anthracite coal through the coal mine for heating, after all, charcoal is prone to carbon monoxide poisoning.

"Wudong Mountain, Yushe County, is a whole mountain, but it belongs to the property of the Xue family in Fenyin."

"To be precise, it belongs to Xue Jiaoyan and Xue Bowu, two sisters and brothers, left to them by their father before his death."

Liao Fengmao said respectfully.

Because so few people used coal in this era, he took so long to find out.

In fact, the coal of this era is not called coal, but called charcoal or black dan, etc., and the utilization rate is very low.

"His?"

Fang Yuan's expression was a little weird.

I just met Xue Bowu today.

Now he found out that the coal mountain belonged to him.

Such a coincidence, Fang Yuan had encountered it for the first time.

"Does the master know him?"

Liao Fengmao asked curiously.

He hadn't had time to inquire about the two siblings.

It is only to know that the Fenyin Xue clan is one of the three wealthy families in Hedong.

"Hmph, why don't you know?"

"Fang Yuan was almost injured by him today."

The giant interjected, angry.

As soon as he thought that Xue Bowu had almost injured Fang Yuan, he was angry.

It was not only Xue Bowu who was angry, but also Ji Rufeng and a few of their cheap businessmen.

"Presumptuous, you dare to be disrespectful to my master!"

Liao Fengmao was suddenly furious, and his eyes welled up with anger.

"This matter is over, don't pursue it further."

"You try to contact their brother and sister to buy it."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

Xue Bowu's matter is over.

If he still comes to make trouble, then deal with it.

What should be done now is how to buy Wudongshan?

"Yes."

Liao Fengmao said respectfully.

But there is still some resentment.

The lord humiliated his ministers to death, and he did not allow others to hurt his master.

"Go back and rest."

Fang Yuan waved his hand.

Wander around the cement factory with the giant, and then walk in the direction of the south of the city.

After feeling that there was no problem with the cement road, the two did not continue to walk and got into the carriage to return.

Night falls.

The residence of the Royal Merchant.

Li Shimin received an exciting message.

The battle report from Chang'an City's eight hundred miles was rushed in.

"Your Majesty, Shuofang has taken it!"

"Liang Luoren attacked Liang Shidu, cut off Liang Shidu's head, and led the generals in the city to surrender the city."

Li Junxian reported excitedly.

This is exciting news.

"Good, good, good!"

"Feng Liang Luoren is the history of Qinzhou in Hedong Province, and the area around Shuofang is changed to Xiazhou!"

"Order Chai Shao and Xue Wanjun to guard Shuofang, everything is still the same, and the Eastern Turks must not be allowed to know the news."

Li Shimin was greatly excited.

Shuofang finally won, and Datang was finally unified.

Attacking the Eastern Turks in the north to brush up the shame of Weishui will also be just around the corner.

"Yes!"

Li Junxian should be immediately.

Retreat to carry out Li Shimin's orders.

Ordered someone to hurry up 800 miles to bring the news back.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng were also here, and they congratulated Li Shimin.

Since the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the Shuofang area has been occupied by the Liang Division, which has always been the heart of the imperial court, and it has finally been unified for more than ten years.

This is a happy event worthy of great celebration in the world.

"Shuofang has been decided, and the Eastern Turks are about to start a war!"

"Miaoyan, you buy as much grain and grass as possible in Liaozhou, but don't raise the price of grain."

After Li Shimin's excitement, it was an analysis of the battle situation.

After Shuofang took it, it was time to launch an attack on the Eastern Turks.

While the Eastern Turks had not yet discovered this, they took it by surprise and destroyed the Eastern Turks in one fell swoop.

"Yes!"

Du Miaoyan said respectfully.

"Xiangcheng, pack your luggage, and we'll go back to Chang'an City early tomorrow morning."

Li Shimin said loudly.

He had to arrange the next war with his own hands.

In a war with the Eastern Turks, there can be no relaxation.

At that time, the Eastern Turkic iron cavalry swept the world, and Datang suffered too many losses.

If it weren't for the heavy snowfall in the Eastern Turks in the past two years, the Tang Dynasty would not have dared to start a war against the Eastern Turks easily.

"Huh? You've only been here for two days and you're back? ”

"Father, can I stay?"

Princess Xiangcheng said aggrievedly.

It took two or three days to come to Liaozhou in a carriage, and I had to go back before I arrived for two days.

Not to mention that he was tired from riding in the carriage, he hadn't had enough fun, and he hadn't asked Du Miaoyan when he liked Fang Yuan.

"Nonsense!"

"How can a dignified princess stay outside the palace for a long time?"

Li Shimin suddenly said with a straight face.

"Father, you can do it."

"People are going to get married in the spring next year, and they won't have a chance to play in the future, so you can do it."

Princess Xiangcheng came to Li Shimin's side, took Li Shimin's hand and said coquettishly.

"You girl, let go of your father!"

"Miao Yan, you send someone to the Fang Mansion to ask if Fang Yuan has slept or not, I will leave early tomorrow morning, and say goodbye to him tonight."

Li Shimin was shaken uncomfortably and pushed her away.

didn't refuse, didn't agree, turned his head to look at Du Miaoyan and said.

Princess Xiangcheng was overjoyed and giggled.

If there is no objection, it is acquiescence.

When you return tomorrow, it's okay if you don't keep up.

"Yes."

Du Miaoyan should be.

Let the subordinates go to Fangfu overnight.

It's still early, and it's still early in the morning, so I shouldn't have slept yet.

Sure enough, as Du Miaoyan thought, the next person came back to report that Fang Yuan hadn't slept and welcomed them.

Fangfu, Li Shimin and the four arrived.

"Boss Li, why did you go back after only two days?"

Fang Yuan was in the hall, and got up after seeing them.

At this time, Hongxu and Qingyu were already boiling water to make tea.

The weather is cold, and the two no longer show their small bellies as before.

"There is a happy event in Chang'an City, Shuofang has taken it, I have to rush back."

Li Shimin laughed.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and he is extremely happy now.

Sure enough, Fang Yuan's strategy was right, and Liang Luoren was really successful.

"Shuofang took it?"

"Hahaha, a good thing, a great thing!"

Fang Yuan was also overjoyed.

Although Shuo Fang won it is a sure thing.

But when I actually heard it, I was very happy.

Now Fang Yuan has fully integrated into Datang, and I hope that Datang will get better and better.

"So I have to go back, I have something to deal with."

Li Shimin smiled.

Go back this time, next time you come, you will have a showdown with Fang Yuan, and then see what Fang Yuan's expression is.

"It should."

"Come, please take a seat."

"Please take a seat, too."

Fang Yuan didn't ask about it.

Invite everyone to sit down, including Li Junxian.

Li Junxian did not sit down immediately, but looked at Li Shimin.

After getting Li Shimin's consent, he thanked Fang Yuan before sitting down.

"Master brother's surname?"

Fang Yuan's first cup of tea was poured to Li Junxian.

Fang Yuan had actually thanked him today, but it was Li Daye who was thanked.

But now that he saw Li Junxian, Fang Yuan still wanted to say thank you in person.

"Li Junxian."

Li Junxian replaced the wine with tea and drank it with a smile.

"Li Junxian?!"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

This name is not unfamiliar.

There are many legends in later generations.

"Fang Thorn Shi knows me?"

Li Junxian put down his teacup and asked curiously.

He feels that his martial arts are strong, but his reputation is not obvious outside.

Li Shimin and the others also looked at Fang Yuan curiously.

"I don't know."

Fang Yuan shook his head, his smile a little stiff.

He picked up the teacup and drank tea to relieve the embarrassment at this time.

Li Junxian heard Fang Yuan say that he didn't know him, so he didn't ask again.

"Fang Tingshi, this time I came to say goodbye to you."

"I don't know when we will meet next time, but I'll still come over."

Li Shimin smiled.

Looking at Fang Yuan's eyes, he became a little raging and expectant.

When we meet again, you kid will call me Your Majesty, see if you dare to be arrogant.

"It's fine, but it's okay."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

Instead of red wadding, pour tea for Li Shimin and a few people.

"Hahaha, Fang Thorn Shi is really humorous."

"Let's look forward to my next visit."

Li Shimin laughed.

It's all a joke for Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan smiled and did not answer.

"There's one more thing to tell you about this goodbye."

"Do you remember the last time I told you about the Yellow River dam?"

Li Shimin restrained his smile and said with a straight face.

The Yellow River dam is a constant concern for him.

If the Yellow River dam collapses, the damage will be too great.

It could bring the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people in several states to life.

"Yes."

Fang Yuan is also a positive color path.

Flooding has been a problem since ancient times.

Even in the later era of advanced science and technology, there were the same.

However, most of the floods in later generations were caused by heavy rains or continuous rainy days.

There are almost no cases of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and other embankments bursting.

"Before I came, I had already mentioned cement to His Majesty."

"When I go back, the Ministry of Industry should send someone over soon."

"Sooner rather than later, I hope you can provide personnel and technical support from your side."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

The issue of the Yellow River embankment cannot be delayed.

As important as the counterattack against the Eastern Turks.

"Don't worry, this official has someone to arrange."

"But I can't guarantee that the cement will be useful."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

The Yellow River embankment is a matter of great importance, and he does not dare to slack off or guarantee it.

Cement treatment of the Yellow River embankment is certainly useful, but the Yellow River embankment is not known what the problem is.

If you don't know the question, pat your chest and assure it, that is a very stupid approach, Fang Yuan can't be so stupid.

"I understand, do your best."

"If, I mean if, if you're free, I want you to go in person."

Li Shimin is colorful.

No one can guarantee one thing.

Even if he is the emperor, he doesn't dare to say that he will win Shuofang before today.

There are also the Eastern Turks who are about to attack, and they dare not say that they can guarantee that they will be able to destroy the other side.

But Li Shimin hoped that Fang Yuan could go in person, because he felt that Fang Yuan was reliable and trustworthy.

"There are too many things in Liaozhou now, and the official is flawless, and the official will not be able to control the water."

"Boss Li, you must not ask the emperor for such a difficult task for this official."

Fang Yuan hurriedly refused and warned Li Shimin.

Providing technical support is very different from going there in person.

If the former fails to govern, it will face some blame and reprimands at most.

But the failure of the latter is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and it will be sitting.

Officialdom is like this, some things are obviously well-intentioned, but the result is definitely not good.

"You think about it."

"If you agree, I will ask Your Majesty to correct your official position on your behalf."

Li Shimin thought that Fang Yuan didn't want to go just because he was busy.

Therefore, he still hoped that Fang Yuan would be able to go and put forward generous conditions.

"Don't think about it."

"Thank you for your kindness."

Fang Yuan still shook his head.

Acting for the history of Liaozhou thorns, or the history of thorns, there is not much difference now.

There's no need to take that risk at all.

"Well, then I won't force you."

Li Shimin sighed.

But there is still some unwillingness.

Fang Yuan is his own Ying Meng Xianchen, he must get twice the result with half the effort, and others don't have that effect.

"Miss Du, today's tea is very good."

Fang Yuan changed the topic, not wanting to dwell on this point.

"Fang Yuan, didn't you say you called me by name?"

Du Miaoyan didn't answer, but glared at Fang Yuan.

During the day, she also told Fang Yuan to call each other by name.

The princess of Xiangcheng on the side suddenly became interested, and looked at Du Miaoyan with a smile.

Du Miaoyan's face was hot when she saw it, but she didn't know that she looked at herself.

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment and smiled.

He didn't pay much attention to this, he screamed casually.

"Five families asked me for tea today."

"I'm all registered in the ledger, and I'll send it to you if you need to check it."

"They only gave a deposit, and the balance will be paid off when the goods are delivered, and I will share the bonus with you every six months."

Du Miaoyan snorted and said slowly.

As she thought, Wang Zhicheng was not the only one who ordered tea today.

Most of them are more than 500 catties, and it will take some time to deliver.

"No, you can keep the account book, and the official will trust you."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

The Royal Comptoir represents royal status.

There is no need to hide yourself from this little money.

And Du Miaoyan is a trustworthy person, so there is no need to worry.

"Thank you."

Du Miaoyan didn't expect Fang Yuan to believe her.

was stunned for a moment, and then a warm current welled up in his heart, and he smiled sweetly.

Li Shimin watched the whole process, a little surprised in his heart, looked at Du Miaoyan, and then looked at his daughter, guessing that Du Miaoyan liked Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan is his own Ying Meng Xianchen, judging from the ability he has shown so far, as long as he does not make stupid mistakes, he will definitely be an extremely human minister in the future.

Such a good talent, he snatched it away from Lao Du to be his son-in-law, so he didn't lose much?

But after thinking about it, he now only has one daughter in Xiangcheng to be in the boudoir, and he has been married to the Xiao family, and there are no other daughters to marry, so he can only forget it like this.

After sitting for another quarter of an hour, Li Shimin felt that it was almost time to go back.

"Fang Tingshi, let's go back first, and we have to hurry early tomorrow morning."

Li Shimin got up and said.

"I'll send you off."

Fang Yuan nodded and got up.

Du Miaoyan and the others naturally got up.

Soon, Fang Yuan sent a few people out to the door.

"Farewell."

"Fang Thorn Shi, please be sure to look forward to my next arrival."

Li Shimin stopped at the door, looked at Fang Yuan, and said with a meaningful smile.

"No."

Fang Yuan pursed his lips and was a little speechless.

Li Shimin smiled even more, turned to leave, and disappeared into the night.

The first order is more than 500, thank you readers, the old Zhou said and there is a letter, today is also 20,000 words to explode, tomorrow after not so exaggerated, but there will be more than 10,000 words, I hope readers will support a lot, the next plot will be more seriously conceived, thank you.
