Playing intrigue is worse than engaging in infrastructure

If Mobei unified the world, whether it would become the Yuan Dynasty in Song Qingyuan's heart is still unknown.

Although this era is not in the same world as the one he lived in, for him, there is no debate between Chinese and barbarians or ethnic disputes.

But Song Qingyuan is still very clear about how miserable the life of the people under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was.

Although even mentioning it may not necessarily allow those things to happen here, since there is such a possibility, he must take this matter into consideration carefully.

"Conquering the world is easy, but defending the world is difficult!" Song Qingyuan sighed and walked into the bedroom with an old-fashioned look.

……

Jiang Duo originally thought that Song Qingyuan would sleep until noon the next day, but he didn't expect to hear him calling himself early in the morning.

"Your Highness was tired from traveling all day yesterday, why did you wake up so early today?" Jiang Duo walked in and asked with some doubts.

It's no wonder that he would ask such a question. Before Song Qingyuan worked too hard during the day, he always had to sleep a few hours more the next day.Waking up early like this was the first time he saw her.

"Changing clothes for me first, you will know later." Song Qingyuan got off the bed and said to Jiang Duo.

Compared to usual, he was obviously a little excited today.

"Yes." Infected by Song Qingyuan's emotions, Jiang Duo happily responded, and after serving him to wash and change his clothes, he left the bedroom with Song Qingyuan.

Song Qingyuan didn't get up early today for anything else, but he suddenly remembered that the clay in cement can be replaced by cinders.

Although the quality of such cinder cement is definitely not as good as cement made from clay, it is sufficient for daily use.What's more, although there is a lack of clay in Mobei, there is a lot of slag.

Seeing that Song Qingyuan was walking in the direction of the school grounds, Jiang Duo murmured in his heart, could it be that His Highness is still planning to practice martial arts with King Mobei today?

But His Highness is wearing a Shu brocade gown with cloud patterns today, so it doesn't look like he is going to practice martial arts?

Full of doubts, Jiang Duo followed Song Qingyuan to the school grounds.

Lian Ti obviously didn't expect him to appear here today, he retracted a swivel arm, threw it to Sa He, and walked quickly towards Song Qingyuan.

"Why is Your Highness here?" Lian asked. The other party said yesterday that he was too tired from riding a horse and had to rest for a day.Came here early this morning.

"Thinking of the ratio of cement, I couldn't fall asleep for a while, so I hurried to find the king."

Before he asked the soldiers to burn lime and gypsum, the soldiers had already burned a lot.If you don't start making cement, the yard in the barracks will be filled with piles of lime gypsum powder.

"Didn't Your Highness say that there is still a lack of clay?"

Lian Ti asked Sahe to put a cushion on the stone bench next to him, and asked Song Qingyuan to sit down.

When he heard Song Qingyuan talk about the cement before, he asked the other party if he wanted someone to ship some from other places, but Song Qingyuan refused on the grounds that the cost was too high.

Cement is a building material, and the cost of long-distance transportation is too high, so it is better not to use it.

"Today, I just remembered that this clay can be replaced by cinders, so I hurried over here." Song Qingyuan replied as he sat down.

"Cinder?" Lian Ti was a little surprised.

There is no shortage of these things in Mobei, and now it is winter, just ask the people in the royal court for a little, and you can get a lot.

I just need some cinders, so there shouldn't be a need for Song Qingyuan to rush to find them early in the morning, right?

Sure enough, the other party gave him a positive look, and said: "In addition to the cinder, it is best to also need some waste slag after ironmaking, so that the quality of the cement produced will be better."

The two of them were still talking on their own, completely unaware that Sahe behind him was already so surprised that he almost couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

In Mobei, coal, firewood, and dried livestock dung are usually used for heating in winter, but he has never heard of the use of the burned residue.

It has only been a few months since His Royal Highness came to Mobei, but the things he created were beyond Sahe's imagination.

Sahe was still surprised over there, but Lian mentioned here that he had already guessed the purpose of Song Qingyuan's trip.

"Your Highness is planning to build the cement workshop near the iron smelting place? Otherwise, except in winter, it will be difficult to find some slag." Lian Ti pointed out.

Both smelting and forging use coal as fuel, and only iron smelting places can provide both cinder and iron ore.

Sure enough, Song Qingyuan nodded slightly.

Things like iron are relatively sensitive in Mobei, and he can't take the initiative to mention them, so he can only wait for them to be mentioned repeatedly.

How could Si Lianti not understand this point, the two looked at each other tacitly, but each had their own calculations in their hearts.

"This person has an exquisite heart, and he is extremely careful in everything." Lian Ti thought to himself.

Then he raised the corners of his lips, "Since that's the case, my lord will take His Highness to see Julu Mountain tomorrow?"

The best quality iron ore in Mobei is located in this Lu Mountain.

Song Qingyuan didn't expect to be so generous even when he made a move.This iron mine is also one of the iron mines belonging to Mobei King. The iron stone mined is mainly used for weapon smelting, and there are heavy guards in and out of the mountain.

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer, and even mentioned that every time he did this, he felt guilty that he had saved the belly of a gentleman with a villain's heart.

"Look at how sincere people are to you, and you are so wicked to plot against them!" A villain in his heart chattered endlessly.

"It's just to make some cement. There is no need to go to such an important place as Julu Mountain. The people who transport the cement come and go, which will inevitably give opportunities to those who are interested." But he still spoke very rationally.

As expected of the well-informed Mr. Song, even if the villain in his heart has jumped three feet high, he still can't be seduced by the other party.

When he was in the company in his previous life, he had seen too many old and cunning capitalists, and he knew their schemes well.

The people these old foxes valued, whether they were business partners or subordinates, all put on such a defenseless appearance, and then tricked the other party into willingly cooperating with them.

When he was young, he suffered a lot in this regard, and now he is naturally extraordinarily alert.

Seeing that Lian Ti failed to impress the other party as he wished, he could only touch the tip of his nose with some guilt, and pretended to be stupid: "This king only thinks that Mount Julu is the closest to the royal court, but he forgot to consider this point. After all, His Highness is thoughtful. "

Song Qingyuan also thoughtfully did not expose him, and said with a smirk: "It is inevitable that the king will be negligent for a while, and it is normal. But since there is no rush to use cement now, it is better to ask the people to collect some cinders first. After a few days, the king Then send someone to accompany me to the nearby mining area to see if there is a suitable place."

"Your Highness just let me accompany you. Those people have been dealing with earth and stone all year round. Most of them are vulgar and stupid. It would be bad to neglect His Highness."

There is no difference between saying this and talking nonsense with your eyes open.

Those who are in charge of mining and smelting iron ore, who are not the top spirits, otherwise they would not be sent by Lian Ti to manage the mine, but now they have become vulgar and stupid people.

"Wang Shangguo is busy with affairs, so don't bother..." Song Qingyuan opened his mouth and was about to refuse.

"I don't have anything important to do these days. I just happened to be with His Highness. I also stopped by to see if they were cheating or playing tricks." Before he could finish his refusal, he was interrupted by repeated mentions.

If he was an ordinary person, he would not have the patience to even mention it, and it would not be his turn to inspect the mining area, a dignified king of Mobei.

What he is doing now is purely for Song Qingyuan to give him a high impression score, so that he can make plans for him to keep him in Mobei in the future.

Seeing that Song Qingyuan didn't refute anymore, Lianti stood up and invited him to have breakfast with him.

Song Qingyuan didn't refuse much, and followed the other party away.

During this period of time, he would practice martial arts with Lianti almost every morning, and as time went by, he did not miss Lianti's place for breakfast.

Even the cooks in his palace made an appointment to go to the stewed meat shop on the street to see the apprentice because they had nothing to do in the morning.

Occasionally, they are too busy, and they will help greet the guests.It made the apprentices in the stewed meat shop very stressed these few days, and even the speed of adding fire was much faster than usual.

Song Qingyuan still doesn't know the troubles of the teenagers in the stewed meat shop.After he finished his breakfast, he went to the barracks, asked the soldiers to find some slag from burning charcoal yesterday, and began to study the ratio of various raw materials for cement.
