I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

"It was General Li who said he wanted to buy the cement from our village, because the cement is stronger than the city wall bricks. General Li thinks that if the city wall can be poured with cement, the city wall will be much stronger."

"Even if those foreigners have other intentions, they will not be able to attack the city even if they are blocked by the city wall."

Zhang Siyuan was stunned and couldn't help but look at Li Juntong.

Li Juntong nodded, "Indeed, if that day comes and someone wants to attack the city, the city wall will not be as easy to climb as before."

Prince Ling suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Juntong, then moved his gaze to the cement road not far away, his heart palpitating even more.

This this……

If this cement can be used to pour city walls, it would be a great way.

Even over the border, this method may be used.

In the north, two cities were destroyed by the Fanbang people in so many years. This has always been a pain in King Ling's heart.

If we don't consider sending troops now and just defend, this cement is really not a lot of options.

Thinking of this, King Ling couldn't help but look at Zhang Siyuan, and his eyes became hot.

If he heard correctly, this cement belongs to Xiao Zhangzhuang's property.

But the cement formula was proposed by Zhu Qiuqi. If Zhang Siyuan opened his mouth, it would not be impossible for the cement to be sold to the court.

Prince Ling wanted to say something, but looking at the people around him, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Manager Wang, Master Xu, and Li Zheng didn't know their identities. He was afraid that he would scare these people if he exposed them rashly.

Moreover, he also plans to stay in Xiaozhangzhuang for a longer time. If Li Zheng of Xiaozhangzhuang knows his identity, he may not be able to be stable in the future.

If everyone hides when they see him, then there will be no point in him coming here.

Zhang Siyuan was silent for a long time before nodding.

"This is indeed a good idea, but pouring the city wall is not an easy task. And Qiu Qi has said before that if cement is poured over a large area, cracks may appear."

Hearing Zhang Siyuan's words, both Li Juntong and King Ling frowned.

If this is the case, then there is something really wrong with using cement to build the city wall.

"But Qiu Qi should have a way to solve this matter. We will discuss this matter when she comes back."

Li Juntong nodded, that was all he could do.

Zhu Qiuqi followed Liu Zixuan into Jishi Hall and saw two medicine boys guarding the door of the guest room. Zhu Qiuqi knew that the identities of the people inside would not be simple.

However, she did not speak when Sui Yi opened her mouth, but looked at Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan nodded to her and then stepped forward to knock on the door.

After receiving a response from the person inside, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Sir, this is Madam Zhu."

Zhu Qiuqi saw a tall, elegant but heroic man standing at the window of the room.

When the man saw Zhu Qiuqi, his eyes lit up slightly.

Zhu Qiuqi had seen a lot of this look in her eyes before, so she wasn't surprised at all.

But looking at the man's face, he didn't seem to be sick.

"Mrs. Zhu, sit down and talk."

Pei Yuan, who was standing behind Zhu Qiuqi, seemed to pause his breathing the moment he saw the man.

Knowing that the man had spoken, Pei Yuan subconsciously wanted to step forward and salute, but was stopped by the man's eyes.

Pei Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Zhu Qiuqi was still here when he came to his senses.

If he saluted in front of Zhu Qiuqi, he might expose his identity.

Zhu Qiuqi naturally didn't notice anything was wrong between the two of them. She watched the man sit down, poured tea for her herself, and then sat down with the man.

"I wonder what's wrong with this young master?"

When the man heard Zhu Qiuqi's words, he couldn't help but pause with the tea cup in his hand, and he was not surprised.

This also shows that Liu Zixuan did not expose his affairs when he went to find someone.

"To be honest, I asked Madam Zhu to come to see me today, not for me, but for my wife."

Zhu Qiuqi raised her eyebrows, looking at the worry in the man's eyes, as if she understood something.

"I wonder how the lady's condition is?"

The man couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his wife.

"We got married 12 years ago, but we never had any children."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiuqi also put down the tea cup in her hand.

She knows how important children are to a family in this era.

If a woman is unable to bear children, she will probably be disliked by her husband's family.

But looking at the worry on the face of the person in front of him, it seemed that he had no intention of abandoning his wife.

"There are many problems with having no heirs. If the wife is weak, or if you, the master, have problems yourself, it may lead to infertility."

The man shook his head, "Dr. Liu also examined me before, and there was nothing wrong with my body."

When Zhu Qiuqi heard this, she couldn't help but look at the man twice.

In this day and age, not many men are willing to take the initiative to see this kind of disease.

Zhu Qiuqi still believed in Dr. Liu's medical skills. Since Dr. Liu said that this person's body was fine, then he probably really had no problem.

Just when Zhu Qiuqi was wondering what was wrong with the man's wife's health, she saw regret and self-blame in the man's eyes.

"I hope you don't know, my wife suddenly suffered from lochia nine years ago, and she hasn't recovered yet. We have found many doctors with superb medical skills, but no one can cure her."

Zhu Qiuqi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Lochia?I'm afraid it's not as simple as having trouble getting pregnant.

And he has been with a person for so many years, so there might be something else going on.

Just when Zhu Qiuqi was frowning and thinking, the man suddenly stood up and bowed his hand to Zhu Qiuqi.

"I've long heard Doctor Liu say that he wished Madam her extraordinary medical skills, and he also wished Madam that she could save my wife."

The man's sudden movement not only startled Zhu Qiuqi, but also made Pei Yuan, who was sitting at the door, stand up suddenly.

"Master, please get up quickly. I am a doctor, and it is my duty to treat patients."

When the man stood up, his eyes were red.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiuqi also knew that Doctor Liu was afraid that Doctor Liu had deliberately asked her to come here today.

However, he didn't mean to blame Doctor Liu for this, and Liu Zixuan also said that Doctor Liu was indeed ill today.

"I wonder if the young master can take me to see the madam?"

The man did not refuse, but took Zhu Qiuqi to the inner room.

As for Pei Yuan and Liu Zixuan, they stayed here.

Seeing the man leading Zhu Qiuqi in, Pei Yuan walked up to Liu Zixuan in three steps at a time.

"Did you deliberately invite your sister-in-law to come?"

Liu Zixuan was startled by Pei Yuan. When he realized what Pei Yuan said, Liu Zixuan shook his head.
