In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
Yun Zheng and his companions were finally approaching the edge of the hill.
After so many days of hard work, Yun Zheng was exhausted both physically and mentally.
This battle went too far!
There wasn't much fighting, we were just fucking on the road.
Just as Yun Zheng was secretly sighing, a large black crowd suddenly appeared at the far end, and those people seemed to be busy building something.
"Send someone to see what's going on."
Yun Zheng instructed Gao He.
Soon, a guard rode over on horseback.
Not long after, Yun Zheng saw his personal guards and a few others riding their horses towards him.
...
...
Who is running here?
Yun Zheng looked around curiously.
When those people came closer, Yun Zheng finally knew who they were.
Chapter Xu!
There should be a bright moon!
Zhang Xu’s figure is too conspicuous!
Even if you can't see the face clearly, you can still make a rough judgement from the body shape.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"Senior sister, senior sister..."
Even from a distance, Zhang Xu let out a loud shout of excitement, and Mingyue's voice could be vaguely heard.
Soon, Zhang Xu and Mingyue came running over with a few people.
The two men stopped when they were still more than twenty feet apart and dismounted.
Zhang Xu's posture when he got off the horse was a little awkward, which made Mingyue scold him again.
Yun Zheng and Miao Yin also dismounted.
Zhang Xu and Mingyue trotted over.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The two men stepped forward and saluted, Zhang Xu still a little out of breath.
Although they have a close relationship with Yun Zheng, they still have to observe some etiquette in front of so many people.
"That's enough, that's enough!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand and asked curiously, "Why are you two here?"
"Didn't His Highness ask me to build a kiln factory?"
Zhang Xu took two deep breaths and chuckled, "I just sorted out the fine salt business a few days ago, so I picked some farmers and brought them here to find a place to build a kiln factory! Your Highness, I just realized that peat is really useful, haha..."
When talking about peat, Zhang Xu became so excited that he danced with joy.
They refine fine salt, which requires a lot of firewood.
Those peat mosses solved the firewood problem very well.
It was also because of the peat that they dared to come here and build kilns.
Otherwise, even if the kiln was built, there wouldn't even be a decent place to get firewood around it, and it would be impossible to burn bricks and tiles.
The location where they are building the kiln factory is not far from Bailang Lake, so the water problem is easy to solve.
As long as it is built, it will be much more convenient to transport bricks and tiles to Qingbian or Weibian in the future.
"You've thought it through very carefully!"
Yun Zheng looked at Zhang Xu approvingly, and then joked: "You must be very tired every day, right? Why don't you lose weight, but get fatter? Did you take too many supplements?"
Yun Zheng said this and gave Zhang Xu a look that only men could understand.
Zhang Xu chuckled and glanced at Mingyue with a flushed face.
The meaning is self-evident.
Mingyue heard the hidden meaning of Yun Zheng's words, and glared at the two dirty guys in shame and anger. She stepped forward and took Miaoyin's hand, "Senior Sister, why don't you tell me about your husband!"
"How dare I say anything about him!"
Miaoyin smiled sweetly and teased Mingyue: "Don't give him supplements all the time. If he keeps giving him supplements, the horse might not be able to bear his physique!"
Zhang Xu’s current weight is estimated to be approaching 300 kilograms.
Although Yun Zheng gave Zhang Xu a top-quality warhorse after the last battle at the Pastureland, she estimated that even with that top-quality warhorse, it would not be able to run for long with Zhang Xu, a fat man, on its back.
"Senior Sister!"
Mingyue's face turned red with shame and she pulled Miaoyin's arm in a reproachful manner.
"Alright, you two sisters can talk later!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Since we are already here, let's go check out the kiln factory!"
"good!"
Miaoyin pursed her lips and smiled.
Several people jumped on their horses.
"Can I go and see?"
At this time, Jia Yao suddenly asked Yun Zheng.
"You'd better not go!"
Yun Zheng turned around and looked at Jia Yao, "I don't want to hide it from you. Our kiln factory involves many confidential skills. What if you learn it secretly? Otherwise, you can take 10,000 war horses as the apprenticeship fee?"
Ten thousand war horses?
Not to mention Jia Yao, even Miao Yin and others couldn't help but be speechless.
What are you thinking about!
Another ten thousand war horses?
If you don’t want Jia Yao to go, just say so!
"Husband..."
Jia Yao is acting coquettishly.
The soft voice made Zhang Xu feel as if he had seen a ghost.
What's going on?
Yun Zheng sent the heads of Jia Yao's father and brother to the imperial city.
Jia Yao still calls Yun Zheng like this?
Still like a little bird?
"You don't have to go."
Yun Zheng directly refused and called Shang Zhangxu and the others, "Let's go!"
In fact, it’s just a kiln factory and there is no technical content at all.
The only novel thing is probably the use of peat instead of firewood.
But the kiln factory hasn’t been repaired yet, and the peat probably hasn’t been delivered yet. It wouldn’t be a big deal even if I took Jiayao to take a look.
But the more Jia Yao did this, the more he refused to take Jia Yao to see it!
"Your Highness, what is going on?"
Zhang Xu rode up to Yun Zheng and asked in a frivolous tone, "Are you two okay?"
Fuck you!
Yun Zheng complained helplessly in his heart and shook his head, "Just think of her as Beihuan's envoy seeking peace!"
"oh oh."
Zhang Xu laughed dryly and asked again: "Shouldn't she hate you? Why is she still yelling like that..."
"You also know that she should hate me, right?" Yun Zheng squinted at Zhang Xu, "She is playing tricks, ignore her!"
Little trick?
Zhang Xu thought for a moment, then asked in astonishment, "Princess Jiayao is not trying to play a honey trap with you, is she?"
“That should be it!”
Yun Zheng shrugged helplessly.
Apart from this, he seemed unable to think of anything else.
Zhang Xu gloated over Yun Zheng, then looked back at Jia Yao, shaking his head and muttering to himself: "Even a hero can be tempted by beauty!"
Hearing Zhang Xu's words, Yun Zheng's face suddenly turned black and he almost kicked him off his horse.
Looking at Yun Zheng's appearance, Miaoyin and Mingyue couldn't help but giggle.
Yun Zheng looked at them speechlessly and followed them to the kiln factory.
The kiln factory is quite large, with four kilns under construction alone. In addition, there are some places for drying brick and tile embryos, as well as places for kiln workers to eat and sleep.
Yun Zheng also saw some peat being transported here. These peat were used for burning firewood for cooking.
After all, so many people work here and they need to eat and drink.
The current kiln site is just in the early stages of planning.
Zhang Xu was thinking that after firing some bricks and tiles, he would further expand the scale of the kiln factory. At that time, he could directly use the bricks and tiles fired in the kiln factory, which could save a lot of time.
Yun Zheng followed Zhang Xu on a brief tour of the kiln factory and was quite satisfied with it.
After the tour, Yun Zheng instructed Zhang Xu: "Let's build a large workshop next to the kiln factory to make honeycomb coal."
"What?"
Zhang Xu asked in confusion.
"Honeycomb briquettes!"
Yun Zheng smiled and explained, "It's peat that looks like a honeycomb. It's very simple. Just grind the peat into fine powder, mix it with yellow mud, and then make some molds, and you can make it..."
With honeycomb coal, it will be much more convenient for the military and civilians to make fire and cook.
As for iron stoves specifically for burning honeycomb coal, don't expect them to become popular in the short term.
The iron he smelted was used first to ensure military supplies.
It's just a stove, built with yellow mud and earth bricks, as long as it works...
