Chapter Fifty-Eight: Shocked by the Green Bricks!
"Father, what's wrong with you?"
Next to the carriage, Confucius's grandfather Kong Boxia was excited when he saw his father, and he didn't know why, so he hurriedly asked.
"Look, what are the people doing, what's in their hands?"
After Uncle Kong Fang answered, he jumped out of the carriage and ran to a private house in the distance in three steps and two steps.
"Father, be careful!"
In desperation, the slaves Xiaojia and Kong Boxia also followed.
"How many adults?"
The Praetorian Guard captain who was escorting Uncle Kong Fang originally wanted to dissuade him, but thinking that he was now in the imperial city, there should be no danger, so he didn't say anything.
"What are you doing here, old man...... What's in your hand?"
Here, in front of the private house, Uncle Kong Fang's face was excited and he wanted to go up to check, but he was worried that these people would misunderstand, so he stopped abruptly from a foot away.
"Oh, these are the green bricks that the village chief just fired for us, and I'm going to build a wall!"
An old farmer smiled dumbly when he saw Uncle Kong Fang so excited.
That's right, they are all elderly villagers in Dijia Village.
Since Ji Xuan proposed the idea of building a dam, the young men have gone out to dig ditches in advance.
Leaving them idle, they began to burn green bricks and rebuild their own houses, but they didn't expect this scene to be seen by Uncle Kong Fang.
"Can the old man take a look?"
Here, after hearing the words of several old farmers, Uncle Kong Fang became more and more excited.
"It's not a good thing, don't talk about it, just give you a few dollars!"
The old peasants who built the wall were all real people, and they directly slipped a piece and put it in front of Uncle Kong Fang.
This......
Carefully groping for the green bricks, it's hard!
Each of them is exactly the same size, and the half-plastered walls are incomparably beautiful, far more beautiful than the rough stone walls.
"Good thing! Good thing! Rare good thing! I have never seen it, I have never seen it, I have never seen it, this kind of thing can change the whole dynasty! Can you tell me how this thing came about?"
After watching it for a long time, Uncle Kong Fang was still unwilling to let go.
"You gentleman, I just told you that it was fired by the head of my village..."
A few old farmers who built the wall didn't know why Uncle Kong Fang was so excited when he saw ordinary green bricks, and he didn't understand it very much.
However, what they don't know is that blue bricks are very common in Dijia Village, but in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, there are no ones at all.
Not to mention that Uncle Kong Fang was excited when he saw it, even if the lords of those vassal states saw it, they might not be able to calm down.
"What about you village chiefs, can I meet him......
Uncle Kong Fang was extremely curious, he really wanted to know how the green bricks were made.
"Oh, I don't think it will work today, the village chief of my family followed Huaiying to build a dam on the side of the Wei River..."
"What is a dam?"
Uncle Kong Fang didn't know what to say anymore.
When he was in the Song Kingdom, he was regarded as a rare wise man by the people, and few things could stump him.
But after coming to the Imperial City, I was like a fool... I don't know anything, I have to ask everything!
"It seems that His Majesty made something to solve the great drought... If you're not in a hurry, we'll wait for the village chief to come back......."
As he spoke, an old farmer poked the one next to him.
And secretly slapped a look,
At present, Uncle Kong Fang's identity is unknown, and some things can't be revealed too much.
"That's... Then bother ......"
Seeing that the villagers had taken precautions, Uncle Kong Fang returned to the carriage with questions in his head.
"Father, what the hell are those cyan stones, they can be made exactly the same, tsk!"
Here, not only Uncle Kong Fang, but also Kong Boxia was also amazed.
Think about it, if you build an imperial city with that kind of thing, it will definitely be a city that the whole world looks up to.
"The Great Zhou Imperial City really didn't disappoint me, Xiao Jia, if you dare to say half a bad word about the Imperial City in the future, don't blame the old man, I will punish you!"
Uncle Kong Fang couldn't explain it to his son, but he turned around and glanced at his house slave.
Along the way, Uncle Kong Fang also thought that after meeting Ji Xuan, he would investigate his personality, and then decide whether to join the Great Zhou Imperial City.
But now, unconsciously, he has already made a decision in advance.
"Master, Xiao Jia knows that he is wrong, the Great Zhou Dynasty is indeed not as simple as I thought"
This time, in the face of Uncle Kong Fang's scolding, the servant quietly lowered his head.
......
Not to mention that Uncle Kong Fang, who had just entered the city, was shocked by the special green bricks of Dijia Village.
Speaking of Longxi City, Father Yu Shi looked at the man in front of him, and was silent for a long time before he spoke in a deep voice,
"That's what you're talking about as a solution to the drought?"
"That's right, there is a big river in the northwest of the country of Qiu, called the Turbid River and also known as the Yellow River, and the land there is fertile, far better than that of Longxi City!
The young man spoke lightly, as if he were talking about something extremely insignificant.
Fortunately, the disciples of the Guigu First Lineage were not here, otherwise they would have been surprised to find that this young man was none other than Pang Juan, who had left the valley in advance!
It turned out that after he came out of the valley, he did not choose other vassal states, but came to Longxi City, wanting to rise with the power of Father Yushi.
"No! If all the 500,000 troops go out to fight, what will happen to Longxi City? If we don't avenge the humiliation of that night, this king will not give up!"
Rub!
Hearing this, Yu Shi's father stood up directly, and the posture of sending off guests was big.
When he heard from Yu Wen that a master could help solve the problem of the great drought in the country, he thought it was the kind of warlock who did it.
After seeing each other, this Pang Juan actually persuaded him to move west and leave Qishan completely, how could he accept this.
If this is also a solution to the great drought, almost everyone will!
"Your Majesty, how many Praetorian Guards does King You have now?"
Seeing that Father Yu Shi was angry, Pang Juan's expression remained unchanged, and he still looked like he was bound to win.
"More than 40,000!"
"Therefore, as long as there are 100,000 elite soldiers left in Longxi City, you can still trap the Youwang, after all, there is a big drought on our side, and the same is true for the imperial city!"
It seems that he has already figured out the mind of Father Yushi, Pang Juan got up and came to the sheepskin map,
"Your Majesty, please see, to the west of Longxi City, they are all extremely weak vassal states, and they cannot be compared with Qi, Song, Jin, etc., our 400,000 troops will definitely be able to sweep them!
"Humph!"
I have to say that Pang Juan's two short sentences moved Father Yu Shi's words.
Since the establishment of the country was announced, the land within a radius of 400 miles has become another pain point in his heart.
"Your Majesty, when the time comes, you can go all the way east along Qishan, retreat, as long as you hold Longxi City, the west of Qishan is ours!"
"If you continue to stay here now, the final result will definitely be the same as King You, starving to death in the hinterland of Qishan!"
As if he felt that his fire had not burned enough, Pang Juan pointed to the map and analyzed again.
I became the king of Zhou You
