Therefore, Mr. Wang made up his mind not to speak out today, and asked Mr. Li to discuss anything with the county magistrate.

Anyway, he invested money on the dock. No matter what, his benefits will be indispensable in the future.

Thinking of this, Mr. Wang calmed down.

The people following Mr. Wang couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, he was indeed the head of their Wang family.

This magnanimity cannot be matched by anyone.

"Since we are all here, let me ask the county magistrate to cut this red silk for everyone, which means good luck."

Under the strong request of the two Li Zhengs, Zhu Qiuqi finally stepped forward in desperation.

Although she is a woman, to today's Xiaozhangzhuang people, Zhu Qiuqi is more than just a woman.

When the county magistrate heard Zhu Qiuqi's words, the smile on his face deepened.

Zhu Qiuqi handed a pair of scissors to the county magistrate according to the ribbon-cutting method.

The county magistrate also cut the red silk under the leadership of the two Li Zhengs.

When everyone saw this, they immediately cheered.

Everyone knows in their hearts that if this pier is built well, their lives will get better and better in the future.

I am very happy to be involved in this matter from the bottom of my heart.

When Li Juntong saw the thick pillars poured with cement on the pier, his eyes became a little hot.

He had been eyeing these pillars before, but now there are still no signs of cracking on them, which means it is not impossible for them to be used to pour city walls.

After the county magistrate and others returned to the county seat, Li Juntong stayed.

Master Li watched Li Juntong heading towards the Zhang family and quickly stopped him.

"Jun Tong, what are you doing?"

Master Li knows what his son is like.

When Li Juntong mentioned this Lady Zhu before, his expression was not as innocent as it is now.

Although Li Juntong later explained the matter, Master Li was still worried about his son.

Now seeing Li Juntong going to Zhang's house, Mr. Li was also worried that his son was committing a crime, so he hurriedly stopped him.

Seeing his father's anxious look, Li Juntong couldn't help but sigh.

"Dad, what are you doing? I have something important to go to the Zhang family."

Mr. Li glared at him, "Now that the pier has been built, what else do you have to do?"

Seeing his father like this, Li Juntong sighed helplessly.

"Dad, I told you before about the usefulness of this cement, why did you forget it so quickly?"

Seeing Li Juntong pointing at the dock made of cement, Mr. Li also thought of what Li Juntong said before about pouring cement into the city wall.

He used to be a little skeptical about cement, but now that he has seen the dam being built with his own eyes, Mr. Li's worries are gone.

"Are you really just here for the cement?"

Mr. Li is still worried about his son. After all, his second son has never been married, which makes Mr. Li have to worry.

Li Juntong sighed, "Dad, what can I think about? Since Zhang Siyuan became my brother, how can I think about anything?"

Mr. Li stared at his son for a long time, and then he let go when his eyes were clear.

"Go early and come back early. Don't let your mother worry."

Mrs. Li's health is not as good as before, and she is even a little weak. Now the only one who can take care of her two elders is her son Li Juntong.

"I know dad, I will go back soon."

Zhu Qiuqi was a little surprised when she saw Li Juntong.

"General Li, why are you here?"

She just saw Mr. Li and the county magistrate get on the carriage, and thought Li Juntong had followed them back, but she didn't expect that Li Juntong was actually in their yard.

Not only that, Zhang Siyuan and others are also here, and even Wen Xu and others are here.

"Siyuan, what's going on?"

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiuqi thought something had happened and couldn't help but look at Zhang Siyuan.

Zhang Siyuan looked at Zhu Qiuqi's confused face and knew that Li Juntong had not told her about the city wall.

"Now that you are back, there is no need for Pei Yuan to find you. We have something to tell you."

Zhu Qiuqi rarely saw Zhang Siyuan so serious, and knew that what Zhang Siyuan was going to say was not small, so she sat down as she was told.

"What the hell happened?"

Zhang Siyuan's eyes fell on Li Juntong and motioned for him to speak.

Li Juntong did not refuse and told Zhu Qiuqi his thoughts.

"Mrs. Zhu, what do you think about using this cement to pour the city wall?"

Zhu Qiuqi was stunned for a moment when she heard Li Juntong's words.

Before, she only thought of using cement to improve the road here, but she forgot about the city wall.

Thinking about the Fanbang people guarding outside the city now, it is normal for Li Juntong to have such thoughts.

"Of course it's possible, but the city wall is no better than the road surface. It may not be easy to pour it."

Li Juntong frowned, "Can't we just let the people who poured the pier do it before?"

"Don't worry about the wages. It's the same as building a dock."

Zhu Qiuqi looked at Li Juntong's anxious look and understood what he was thinking.

Now that the Fanbang people are openly stationed outside Qingshui County, no one can guarantee whether they will take action at any time.

Moreover, those people were businessmen, so even if Li Juntong was afraid, he would not be able to attack them rashly.

"If General Li really does this, cement can naturally be poured into the city wall. But if you want the city wall to not crack, this method is probably different from cement pavement."

Li Juntong nodded, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to Madam Zhu. If Madam Zhu needs anything, just ask."

"As long as I can do it, I will not refuse. If we don't have it here, I will ask my father."

Zhu Qiuqi knew that Mr. Li's identity was not simple.

Moreover, Zhu Qiuqi did not dare to underestimate the family heritage of being able to escape from the capital.

After accepting the matter, Zhu Qiuqi went to find the two lieutenants of Xiaozhangzhuang.

He told them about this and gave them the list of ingredients for pouring the city wall.

"Uncle Sun, Uncle Zhang, this city wall protects the people of Qingshui County. We must not let anything go wrong here."

"If you have someone new, you might as well let people keep an eye on the cement factory."

Both Sun Hong and Sun Hong understood what Zhu Qiuqi meant, and they also knew the importance of this matter, so they nodded and accepted the matter.

"Don't worry, Qiu Qi, I will do this myself. If not, I will let Shuanzi and my bastard keep an eye on it. No one will dare to do anything about it."

Hearing Sun Hong's words, Zhu Qiuqi felt relieved.

"In that case, let me leave this matter to my two uncles."

After Li Juntong returned to the military camp, he began to recruit men.
