After Zhao Yuan and others were taken away, Yang Jin ordered people to go into the warehouse.
The soldiers brought out two sacks and poured cement and sand onto the ground.
Shen Zheng looked at the soldier carrying a bucket of water, his lips were so dry and cracked that he wanted to bury his head in it.
He stared at the wooden barrel with eager eyes, but unexpectedly, a bucket of water spilled onto the ground with a "splash".
"Oh! You're a killer!"
"Water is more valuable than oil and gold nowadays!"
"How can it be such a waste!"
Shen Zheng broke away from Shen Lan's supporting hand and was about to crawl on the ground to scoop up the water on the ground.
Before Shen Zheng's hand touched the water on the ground, Xiao Jingzhou slowly helped him up.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "General Shen, don't worry too much. I have already ordered people to prepare the porridge shed."
...
...
Hearing this, Shen Zhengcai took a few steps back half-believing and half-doubting, making way for several soldiers with shovels to mix the mud.
The mud was mixed and put into the bucket. Shen Lan stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to use this instead of glutinous rice paste?"
Shen Zheng was still frowning and guessing when Shen Lan guessed the result.
Xiao Jingzhou said with a smile: "Wen Shao is indeed very smart. If you were not so devoted to martial arts, you would have passed the imperial examination.
I’m afraid that even the third place winner is inferior to you. ”
Chen Lan was Xiao Jingzhou's childhood companion and a student of the Grand Tutor.
If he did not have an uncle who was a military commander and no children, he would not have been so determined to bring honor to the Shen family and give up literature to join the army.
Chen Lan smiled faintly and said, "If this thing can really replace glutinous rice flour, it will save a lot of food for the original package."
He sighed: "If it weren't for your Highness sending food, there wouldn't be even a grain of rice left."
Yang Jin strode forward and said, "This thing is called cement, and it was given to Your Highness by the gods.
Use it to build walls to strengthen the city. After the water inside dries up, it will become invulnerable to swords and spears and is extremely strong. ”
Hearing this, Shen Zheng looked at the mud in the bucket as if it were a precious heirloom.
"Take it and repair the tower!"
Yang Jin stopped the man and said with a smile: "No hurry, fill the big hole in the warehouse first."
He pointed to the big hole next to the door, big enough for a child to fit through.
The group returned to the general's mansion.
Xiao Jingzhou was sitting in the first seat.
Shen Zheng came to visit with his family.
Mrs. Shen died early, leaving behind a maid as a dowry, so Shen Zheng took her as a concubine. She had no children, and now the maid takes care of Shen Zheng's household chores.
Shen Lan's parents are still in Beijing, serving Old Madam Shen.
Shen Zhengdao: "Originally, I didn't want to pollute your Highness's eyes, but because I really don't have a virtuous wife at home to take care of trivial matters.
If Your Highness needs anything, please send someone to call me and I will prepare it. ”
Xiao Jingzhou glanced at Wang and nodded lightly.
He had heard Shen Lan mention Wang before, but because Mrs. Shen died early, Shen Zheng had no intention of marrying.
Old Madam Shen asked Wang to serve in the army, but she didn't expect that Wang was also a loyal servant. She didn't want to compete with her former master for her husband, so she took a dose of medicine and cut off her chance of having children.
Old Madam Shen was angry and wanted to take another concubine to continue the Shen family's main branch.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zheng was determined not to take a concubine, and took Wang to the border, where he stayed for more than ten years.
When he looked at Wang's face today, even if she was a dozen years younger, she was just an ordinary-looking woman.
There was a rumor in the capital that Shen Zheng never married because of Wang's beauty, but now it seems to be pure rumor.
After everyone left, Shen Zheng invited Xiao Jingzhou into the study.
As soon as Shen Lan closed the door, Shen Zheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Xiao Jingzhou.
"Your Highness, I, Shen Zheng, would like to thank you for your great kindness. Princess Wanning is blessed today entirely because of your Highness's planning."
Shen Zheng kowtowed again.
"Your Highness saved the entire Shen family from danger, and the people of the original seal were all taken in by Your Highness. I bow to Your Highness to thank you."
Shen Zheng clasped his hands together and looked at Xiao Jingzhou with burning eyes.
"I thank Your Highness for your trust and will eliminate the treacherous officials in the court!"
After the last kowtow, Shen Zheng prostrated himself for a long time before slowly raising his head.
I saw a red mark appear on his forehead.
Xiao Jingzhou said in a deep voice: "General Shen, please stand up quickly."
He winked at Shen Lan, who walked over slowly and helped Shen Zheng up.
Xiao Jingzhou said: "As the Crown Prince of Dajing, all of this is my duty. Why do I need General Shen to thank me so much?"
“There is just one thing I don’t understand, General Shen has been loyal to the emperor and patriotic all his life.
Since you have received the imperial edict, why don’t you escort me to the capital? ”
Shen Zheng said without hesitation: "It's because the emperor now is no longer the young prince who fought together to conquer the world."
He sighed and said, “Your Majesty has become the king of Dajing, and the Gu family has a queen.
I thought that as a couple, there would be no trouble in the harem.
Unexpectedly, after only one year of leading the army, he was completely transformed, and after returning to the capital, he had countless concubines.
My daughter was originally engaged, but unexpectedly she was carried into the deep palace in a sedan chair. ”
When Shen Zheng talked about Concubine Shen, his eyes turned red.
He said: "The current Third Prince seems to be courteous to the wise and humble, and he has done many things to trap and kill military generals.
Your Highness, if the Great Jing Dynasty really falls into the hands of the Third Prince, it will be the end of us! ”
Shen Zheng became more and more excited as he spoke. He had just knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and now he was very emotional again. As an elderly man, his legs began to feel weak.
Fortunately, Shen Lan held his hand and never let go, so he avoided falling to the ground.
Xiao Jingzhou thought again of the historical records about the Dajing Dynasty in the 21st century.
It lasted no more than forty years.
He said calmly: "General Shen supports me in rebellion?"
Shen Zheng didn't say a word, but his actions showed his attitude.
Xiao Jingzhou: "I know what General Shen means. There is no need to mention this matter again."
He not only wanted Dajing to last forever, but also wanted all seven countries to be within the territory of his Dajing.
But there are more important things to do right now.
Xiao Jingzhou asked: "Are the granaries, ponds, and water cellars ready?"
Shen Zheng and Shen Lan's eyes lit up.
"We are ready, just waiting for your Highness' orders."
Lu Chen stepped forward to take the key to the granary, and then went to live in the newly prepared room.
At night, Xiao Jingzhou took Lu Chen to the granary.
Lu Chen pushed open the door. Although the granary had been cleaned, he could still smell a faint musty smell.
Xiao Jingzhou held the wooden bowl and said softly, "Yu'er, I'm at the granary."
Jiang Zhenyu was in the air-raid shelter, almost falling asleep.
When she heard Xiao Jingzhou's voice, she immediately became excited.
"Big?"
"Hmm...it's pretty big."
Jiang Zhenyu waved his hand and teleported several square meters over.
"Can you still plug it in?"
“Ten times is more than enough.”
Jiang Zhenyu had a rough idea of the area, and waved his hand again, and 10 times the amount of rice and flour was sent to ancient times.
After delivering the food, Jiang Zhenyu also sent herbs, common cold medicines, as well as medicines and medical equipment for war preparations.
Jiang Zhenyu said: "Time is a bit tight, I will send you some water from the pond in the back mountain.
Fire water is used to mix mud, build walls, and wash things. ”
"When you find a suitable riverbed, I will send another river across."
Xiao Jingzhou said happily: "A river? How could Yu'er do this without anyone noticing?"
Jiang Zhenyu pretended to be mysterious: "The hermit has a clever plan!"
