When Zhao Jun went out the next day, two people appeared beside him as expected.
"It's so dangerous for you two girls to go up the mountain alone. Of course I have to be by your side to protect you."
Liu Bang's words sounded very high-sounding, but if you ignore the excitement on his face and the way he kept glancing at Citigroup, you would be in awe.
Xiao He nodded.
"Liu Ji's words make sense."
Zhao Jun rolled his eyes at him.
"What about the wood? Have you made the planks I need?"
She questioned, glaring back and forth between the two men.
"We've already completed most of it. County Magistrate Su is busy with the rest."
Liu Bang teased.
Xiao He continued to nod.
Zhao Jun was speechless. Forget it. He didn’t want to get rid of them anyway, so let’s go together.
Seeing that the three of them had finally reached an agreement, Citi, who had been waiting on the side, walked ahead carrying the medicine bag.
As soon as we entered the forest, the sky darkened.
Zhao Jun and his companions had also walked through such a forest on their way here.
But at that time, all I could think about was hurrying forward.
Today is different. She is here to hunt treasure with Citi.
"Let's go south first. There's a big ginseng field over there. Let's pick some first."
Citi touched the tree trunk next to him and looked up at the sky to confirm the direction.
The three of them followed her in that direction.
After walking for about half an hour, Citi waved to indicate that they had arrived.
Xiao He looked at the woods here. They were obviously much denser than when he first entered the mountain, and the trees seemed to be older.
Citi walked ahead and squatted next to a tree.
Zhao Jun followed her and squatted over.
She took out the small shovel she carried with her and dug up the soil. Soon the ginseng underneath was revealed.
Judging from its size and the stems, it must be thousands of years old.
Citi squatted there digging for half an hour, and Zhao Jun squatted beside her to help her.
Then I saw Citibank digging out one thousand-year-old ginseng after another.
In the end they had dug up dozens of roots.
This is the result after Citigroup converged.
"These should be enough for a while. We won't dig up the ones that are only a thousand years old. Let them grow longer. The ones I dug up are of better quality and will last longer."
Zhao Jun was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
It was also the first time for Xiao He and Liu Bang to see so many thousand-year-old ginseng.
This kind of thousand-year-old ginseng is a rare and precious item even in Xianyang. I didn’t expect that so much could be dug up here so easily.
The two of them were finally enlightened.
Afterwards, they followed Huaqi into the forest and saw her picking many unfamiliar herbs.
Zhao Jun said she came here to look for treasure, but she didn't recognize many of the plants in such a primitive forest, and she didn't see anything familiar.
It was almost noon, and Citi's medicine bag was already filled with herbs, and she had a good harvest of ginseng.
At this point, they were almost approaching the deep mountains, and it would take quite a while to get out.
After discussing, the few of them prepared to return.
"The mountains and forests here aren't very interesting. Don't you feel bored coming here, Citi?"
Liu Bang walked beside Citi and made small talk.
Citi shook his head and answered very simply.
"How can it be boring? Every time I go up the mountain, I can guess the herbs and I am so happy."
The two walked in front and talked in low voices.
Zhao Jun Xiao He followed behind.
I don't know when Xiao He took out the notebook he carried with him and started taking notes.
"I don't know if I'll be able to come back to a place like this again. The environment here is so unique and the species are so rich, so of course I have to record it."
Xiao He murmured.
Zhao Jun shook his head and ignored him.
She herself felt a little regretful.
It's called treasure hunting, but it seems like there's nothing else except ginseng.
Several people walked slowly out of the mountain.
Just as we were about to walk out of the forest, a few pheasants appeared in the grass not far away.
In the end, it was thanks to Citi's excellent shooting skills that they were able to get these few pheasants as spoils of war.
That night, Zhao Jun personally went into the kitchen and prepared a whole chicken feast.
Braised chicken and ginseng chicken soup, etc.
Ginseng is indeed very nourishing. The next day, Zhao Jun Xiao He and Liu Bang both had nosebleeds due to the nourishment.
Zhao Jun sent several pieces of such high-quality ginseng to Sun Ying that day.
He also saved several of them and planned to give them to Ying Zheng and Fusu when he returned to Xianyang so that they could also replenish their energy.
Afterwards, Xiao He and Liu Bang continued to help the Su army grind the wooden boards.
The ropes and stakes that Zhao Jun needed were also delivered.
The piles Sun Ying got for him were several steel bars that were as tall as a person, which can be said to be very practical.
"Master Zhao, the wooden planks you asked me to make are all ready. Now what should we do?"
Su Junqiang finally finished grinding the wooden board and found Zhao Jun.
At that time, Zhao Junzheng and Xiao He were discussing the construction of a suspension bridge.
"It's just right that you're here. Now we have everything we need, and all that's left is assembly."
Zhao Jun gestured with a strong enough rope placed on the ground.
"Just secure both sides like this, then use ropes to lay the wooden planks on top, and that's it."
She explained the idea of a modern suspension bridge to the two people in detail.
Xiao He understood.
"Well, it's a great idea indeed. Now we have everything we need and can get started."
"Why did you start doing it?"
Su Junqiang didn't understand.
"The number of people we bring should be enough. They will mainly be responsible for driving the stakes into the ground."
Xiao He was talking to Zhao Jun on his own.
"Well, it should be fine. I'll talk to Magistrate Ma and try to assemble it tomorrow."
Zhao Jun also nodded, and the two of them discussed and walked towards County Magistrate Ma's courtyard.
Su Junqiang: ...
Although I didn’t fully understand it, I just listened to the adults.
Everything went very smoothly for them in Jingshan County.
At the same time, Juzi's experiment in Xianyang was also going smoothly.
After he understood the blueprints, he immediately began to assemble and construct them.
Because of the letter from Zhao Jun before, he did not make the steam locomotive that he had initially researched, but instead built the steam ship that Zhao Jun needed more now.
During this period, Juzi stayed by the Wei River, modifying ships and experimenting with coal steam.
Yesterday, he finally completed all the inspections and the ship can be officially launched today.
As a black iron ship was launched.
Juzi stood on the boat and directed people to ignite the coal power system below.
The ship remained on the water for three seconds, and then a puff of white smoke emerged from the bow.
The ship began to move forward automatically, with no one rowing, the steam carrying the ship forward.
The people involved in research and manufacturing on the shore burst into cheers.
The big man on the boat had red eyes and was almost crying.
His several months of research and repeated revisions and experiments were worth it.
The steamer is launched!
