Chapter 933: Building the King's City
Thousands of miles away, deep in the grassland, Shan Mancheng was standing in a windy place, holding his snow wolf cloak tightly around him, looking in the direction of Dajin.
"Wa Tuci should have reached northern Hubei by now."
"Replying to Chengji, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be on his way back." Tasang said respectfully.
Shan Mancheng curled his lips, wondering what the girl would think when she received those gifts.
Suddenly, he wanted to see her, and Dan Mancheng's thoughts drifted away.
The wind was getting colder and colder, and Tasan couldn't help but remind him: "The wind is blowing, Chengji, let's go back."
Shan Mancheng came back to his senses and spoke after a moment, "It's time to build the royal city."
"But it's freezing and snowy now, I'm afraid it might not be good," Tasang said subconsciously.
Shan Mancheng suddenly smiled. "Having difficulties is a good thing. She is never afraid of them."
When the Huanxiyuan building was first built, it also snowed.
Shen Qingqian said at that time, "If there are difficulties, we should solve them. Maybe we can get a lot of benefits from these difficulties."
He deeply agreed with this. Wasn't the brick kiln of Huanxiyuan built at that time? Given the girl's love for money, she probably wouldn't let the kiln be abandoned. At least she could earn some money for Huanxiyuan.
He was right. The brick and tile kiln in Huanxiyuan has now become a special place for nearby residents to buy bricks and tiles for building houses.
Wu Laoliu is still in charge of this matter. The Shen family also gets a share of the money earned, and the rest are paid according to their work.
It’s just that the brick kiln doesn’t make much money. Compared with the Shen family’s other businesses, it’s really not enough. But a mosquito leg is still meat, no matter how small it is.
Tasang didn't know who Shan Mancheng was talking about, but his words suddenly gave Tasang a fighting spirit. "Chengji is right. We can't let our people spend the winter in the snow just because of this little trouble!"
Shan Mancheng patted his shoulder and said, "Go back!"
The two men returned to the camp in the cold wind.
After several months of operation, the Jiayu tribe has completely turned the Tianxue Mountain area into their territory.
As soon as the news of building the royal city was released, it immediately attracted discussions among the Jiayu people. Many elders were worried that it would be dangerous to go quarrying at this time.
Some people also questioned Shan Mancheng's decision.
"Chengji is too young. We, the Jiayu people, have always lived by following the water and grass. If we build a royal city, what will we do when the enemy attacks?"
"That's right, we can take things away, but we can't move the house. Isn't that a waste of effort?"
"It seems that I need to discuss this matter with Chengji."
Soon someone found Shan Mancheng.
"Who said we want to go up the mountain to quarry stones?" Shan Mancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man in the lead.
The old man was stunned and asked, "How do we build a house?"
"Of course we have to build a brick kiln first." Shan Mancheng said lightly.
The old man was dumbfounded, "brick kiln"
Isn't that something only people from Dajin would do?
Shan Mancheng curled his lips, "The Great Jin is now a friendly nation with us. They taught me how to make bricks and tiles a while ago."
He didn't stay in Huanxiyuan for nothing. Before his identity was exposed, he secretly observed, drew the blueprint of the brick kiln privately, and consulted Shen Qingqian and Wu Laoliu.
If his own strength was not too limited, he could have completed the brick kiln project on his own.
I have to say that Shan Mancheng is indeed a genius. He learned a lot of key technologies and brought them back without Shen Qingqian and others noticing.
This is also one of the reasons why Shengze did not dare to let him know about gunpowder weapons. Shan Mancheng is too smart. What others cannot understand, he may understand at a glance.
"Even so, what will happen to these houses if foreign enemies invade?" a young man asked impatiently.
