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

Li Juntong was very satisfied when he saw how everyone was prepared.

Since those people in the army who were harboring evil thoughts were found out, his daily behavior has become much easier.

"Find a team of reliable people. I have something for them to do."

Li Juntong was helpless as he watched the deputy general follow him front and back.

Even if he is asked to rest, the lieutenant will not go. He will follow him no matter what.

Li Juntong had no choice but to leave the matter of pouring the city wall to the deputy general himself.

He took the deputy general to see the cement workshop in person. However, the deputy general frowned when he saw the powdered lime.

"General, can this really be used to build a city wall?"

Li Juntong looked at his expression and guessed what the deputy general was thinking.

"The ground beneath your feet is made of this cement."

The deputy general was surprised and stepped on the ground under his feet and found that it was very hard.

Even so, the lieutenant still had doubts in his heart.

He drew out the long sword in his hand and drew two lines on the concrete floor, but only two white marks were drawn.

"General, this..."

"After this material solidifies, it will be as solid as a rock. The pier of Shuixiao Zhangzhuang was poured from this material."

When the deputy general heard this, he felt relieved.

He had heard before that when the dock was opened to release water, the county magistrate went there in person.

Since the county magistrate has no objections, what else does he have to worry about?

"In that case, my subordinate will ask someone to pull the cement."

Li Juntong nodded, "First try to pour a wall inside the city to see how it works, and don't let those foreigners find out."

After watching the deputy general leave, Li Juntong went to Zhang's house.

This matter of pouring the city wall is of great importance. If it is really successful this time, I am afraid that some action will be taken on the other side of the border.

Li Juntong told Zhang Siyuan his thoughts, and Zhang Siyuan looked at King Ling.

"Brother Wang, I'm afraid this matter will trouble you."

King Ling knew what Zhang Siyuan meant. Zhang Siyuan now had no official position in the court.If you want to transport cement to the border quietly, you may have to give an order from the emperor.

Besides, this cement costs a lot of money, and it has to be allocated by the court.

Several people discussed it, and on the fifth day, Li Juntong sent someone to Xiao Zhangzhuang.

When he saw Zhang Siyuan, the man hurriedly raised his hands and saluted.

"Brother Zhang, the general said that the city wall has been poured. Why do you want to go to the city to take a look?"

When Zhang Siyuan and Pei Yuan went to the camp before, Li Juntong's confidant was also with him.

He also knew Zhang Siyuan's identity.But he also understood that Zhang Siyuan was unwilling to reveal his identity at home, so Li Juntong's cronies could only call him Brother Zhang.

Zhang Siyuan counted the time, and it seemed that the cement was about to solidify.

"In this case, we will go to the county seat today."

King Ling had no objection and let Pei Yuan drive the car, and the three of them went to the county seat together.

Looking at the city wall that was the same color as the ground, both King Ling and Pei Yuan couldn't help but take a breath.

"If the city walls are so smooth and solid, it would be difficult for someone to attack the city."

It was inconvenient for Zhang Siyuan to get out of the car, so Pei Yuan and King Ling went to check the city wall made of cement in person.

Pei Yuan took out the dagger from his waist and tried to insert it into the wall.

Unexpectedly, the dagger did not penetrate, but his hand was numb due to the tremor.

The vendor sitting under the city wall couldn't help but laugh: "I don't know what was poured into this city wall, but it has become as solid as a rock. I'm afraid it won't work if I want to insert the dagger into the wall."

The merchant seemed to be in a very happy mood. Looking at Pei Yuan's actions, he even took out a handkerchief and gave it to him.

Seeing this, Pei Yuan nodded at the vendor.There was a veil wrapped around the dagger, and he stabbed the wall again.

Seeing that the wall only left a small pothole, Pei Yuan and Prince Ling nodded with satisfaction.

"Oh, my master, you are so strong. You can make a hole in such a hard wall. It's amazing."

The merchant had just seen with his own eyes how Li Juntong stabbed the city wall, and he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

"What? From what you're saying, has anyone tried to pierce this city wall before?"

Pei Yuan did not return the veil to the merchant, but raised his hand and gave him a tael of silver.

"I have used this veil of yours, and I bought it for a tael of silver."

When the merchant knew that he had met a noble man today, he immediately took the money happily.

"To be honest, many people were curious about this city wall before. After all, the color of this city wall is very similar to the road outside the city."

"Some people have seen the gray road before and know that the road is very hard, so some people want to try to see if this wall can be interpreted like the road."

"Just now there were two people who wanted to pierce the city wall with their daggers just like you. Unfortunately, they are not as strong as the young master. They just made a few scratches on the wall."

Pei Yuan and King Ling understood, said goodbye to the traders, and told Zhang Siyuan about the city wall.

Zhang Siyuan had long been mentally prepared. When he told Zhu Qiuqi about the construction of the city wall, Zhu Qiuqi's expression was very calm.

Zhang Siyuan saw this and knew that there would be no problem in pouring cement into the city wall.

The group returned to Xiaozhangzhuang, and Li Juntong waited for ten days. He felt that the cement on this city wall had completely solidified, and sent someone to smash the city wall with a hammer. Only then did he discover that the city wall was made of cement. It didn't fall down, only the city walls that were already somewhat decayed.

"General, this cement is a good thing. If our city walls are poured with this cement, we will no longer have to worry about the city walls being breached."

Li Juntong nodded, of course he knew why.

The group of people headed towards the city wall in a mighty manner. Seeing that the cement of the city wall was indeed strong, Li Juntong felt relieved.

"You are right. I will give you the money today, and I will leave the cement pouring and clarification to you."

The deputy general was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Juntong's words.

When he came back to his senses, there was another burst of secret shouting.

"General, you..."

Li Juntong waved his hand, "I will handle my matters myself, you don't need to worry."

Seeing Li Juntong return to the tent again, the guards who were following Li Juntong scratched their heads in confusion, wondering whether they should enter the Delicacy Pavilion.

"General, if we are pouring the city wall like this, won't we be discovered?"

If he remembered correctly, there were many vendors outside Qingshui County who had sneaked into the city.

Li Juntong sneered when he heard this, "So what if they find out? Can they still buy cement from Zhu Qiuqi?"

Li Juntong knew very well the virtues of those traders, and he also believed that Zhu Qiuqi would definitely not sell these things to those foreigners based on Zhu Qiuqi's character.
