Chapter 638: Building a High Wall (Must Read Plus 6)
Sheng Ze shook his head, "The students are far inferior to the teachers."
Qi Hongjun and Shen Taifu are the people he respects most in the entire Jin Dynasty.
In order to allow ordinary people to go to school, Qi Hongjun never married, spent all his family wealth, and devoted all his energy to teaching and educating people.
After experiencing the dream of Shen Qingqian's world, Sheng Ze respected Qi Hongjun even more, because he knew very well that the universalization of basic education played a big role in the development of Shen Qingqian's world.
Looking at Qi Hongjun again, Shengze felt that the fact that Dajin had such a person was a mercy from God to the people of Dajin.
"Your Highness is too modest," Qi Hongjun said with a smile, stroking his beard. "If I could see Your Highness again, I would die without regrets."
He came to northern Hubei to confirm whether Shengze was really still alive, but unfortunately, he caught a cold just two days after he set out on the journey.
The journey after that was naturally difficult, with many stops and starts. He finally arrived in northern Hubei, but encountered a drought. Fortunately, he was rescued by the sixth girl of the Shen family, otherwise he would have died in regret.
The four of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Liang Chengcai looked at Sheng Ze and asked what he was most concerned about, "How did you gain from this trip?"
"How is the construction of the canal going?" Sheng Ze asked.
Liang Cheng sighed helplessly, "It's not that we didn't try our best, but Elder Qin said that the copper pipes made with the previous technology were not suitable for water diversion pipes. He said that they would crack over time, which delayed the construction schedule."
Mr. Qin was always considering the long-term, and since many rivers in northern Hubei suddenly had water again a few days ago, he became even more determined to make pipes that would not crack even after long-term use.
"This matter cannot be delayed. I will go to see Mr. Qin and explain it. In addition," Sheng Ze looked at Zheng Shicheng and said, "Sir Zheng, please send someone to Chenjintun. We discovered a salt mine there when we returned."
Zheng Shicheng was stunned. "Salt mine, but there is already a mine in Chenjintun. I've never heard of a salt mine there."
"I don't know why, but we did find a salt mine there when we came back. You can send someone to deal with it." Sheng Ze said calmly.
Seeing his confidence, Zheng Shicheng immediately became happy. "If it really is a salt mine, then we don't have to worry about King Zhao's tricks!"
King Zhao cut off the salt supply to northern Hubei in order to make them surrender. However, if salt mines were discovered in northern Hubei, this trick would be useless!
Liang Cheng was also very excited. When Qi Hongjun asked about the cause of the incident, he angrily said, "Zhao Sheng is such a mean person!"
"Don't be angry, Mr. Qi. Even God is helping us." Liang Cheng finally put down his worries.
Qi Hongjun took a deep breath, "Yes! God will never help those who are disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust!"
No matter whether it was Prince Zhao or Sheng Zhan, no matter how much they took away that did not belong to them, they would eventually return it!
After saying this, Sheng Ze continued, "I heard from Ling Yun that in the past month, droughts have occurred in the six northwestern states and even in the imperial court."
"Yes," Zheng Shicheng nodded. "It's strange to say, we were in northern Hubei before. We saw the drought getting worse, but just a few days ago, several rivers flowing from Chengjin Mountain began to gush out water continuously, which solved our urgent problem."
When Liang Cheng heard the words "Chengjinshan", he suddenly remembered that Shengze went to Chengjinshan with Shen Qingqian this time. Could it be that the two of them did something?
This question has been lingering in Liang Cheng's mind, but he didn't ask it.
"If that's the case, then we have to quickly implement the plan of building a high wall that we talked about earlier." Sheng Ze said slowly, looking outside the house.
"I was originally planning to pay off the must-read votes for this month's extra chapter today, but I saw that I had 700 votes tonight, which means I only have one more chapter to go. If you want to see more extra chapters, please vote hard! [I mentioned the rules for extra chapters earlier.]"
