"Yao'er, Nuo, please send this letter to my father immediately using a flying pigeon!"
Qinglongfang, Wang family residence.
Wang Renbiao stuffed a note into a small bamboo tube, handed it to Leng Yuyao, and explained solemnly.
"Yes, sir~!"
Leng Yuyao took it with both hands. Seeing that Wang Renbiao had no other instructions, she turned around and left with the secret message.
Around 3000 BC, the ancient Egyptians began to use pigeons to deliver letters. China is also a country with an ancient history of raising pigeons. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, pigeons began to be used to deliver letters in Guangzhou and other places in the south.
Although the message transmission speed of this thing is many times faster than that of the post station, it is not something ordinary people can afford.
Pigeons are very sensitive to the earth's magnetic field and are particularly fond of home, which is their innate advantage. But becoming a homing pigeon mainly lies in training. The fundamental purpose of raising homing pigeons is for flying, competition and use. In order to obtain ideal homing pigeons, in addition to careful selection and scientific breeding and management, the most important thing is training.
The training of homing pigeons is very complicated. It must start from young pigeons, from simple to complex, from near to far, from day to night, from basic training to professional training. Therefore, the "cultivation cost" of an ideal homing pigeon is very high. Yes, even for wealthy families, carrier pigeons are generally used only for urgent letters, because carrier pigeons can also encounter accidents on the road!
"Huh~! I hope my father can respond in time! Now that the cooperation between the Wang and Li families is about to be fully launched, we can't let something go wrong at this critical moment~!"
After watching Leng Yuyao go out, Wang Renbiao looked out the door with his hands behind his hands and murmured to himself.
............................
At the same time, almost half of the government officials in Jingzhao Mansion dispersed out of the city along with Dugu Xin's imperial army. To a certain extent, the current action of Jingzhao Mansion not only involves certain risks, but the action itself also has an unusual meaning.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been almost no direct conflict between the imperial court and the martial arts. On the one hand, the Jianghu sects are very weak at this time. As long as they do not deliberately cause trouble, the imperial court will not take those sects seriously.
Of course, the absolute disparity in strength has also made the large and small sects in the Jianghu have been law-abiding and law-abiding in recent years. No one dared to stand up against the imperial court, let alone assassinate the imperial officials.
It has to be said that the man in black who assassinated Li Zexuan has become a prominent figure this time, and he is a leading figure who is unpopular in both the martial arts world and the court.
Although the imperial court was not afraid of these martial arts people, the ordinary government officials in Jingzhao Mansion were still quite afraid, so Huafu Yin specially invited Dugu Xin to lead the imperial army to help.
Anyway, Li Er also said before that he asked Dugu Xin to assist him. Such a powerful help should not be used in vain~!
As soon as Dugu Xin takes action, Li Er will naturally receive news.
After all, Li Er was the absolute controller of all the armies of the Tang Dynasty, and the deployment of the imperial army must have his permission!
"Hmph~! Seventh Xiu Sect~? Snake Spirit Mountain~? What a courageous dog~!"
Li Er leaned on the imperial desk, supported his chin with his hand, and said angrily.
In front of him, there was the secret of Hua Wenjie's watch.
"No matter who the leader of the Seven Xiu Sect is, if he dares to challenge the majesty of the imperial court, if he doesn't give me an explanation, I will surround and suppress your sect~!"
Li Er closed the secret fold and thought coldly in his heart.
............................
"Huh~? What is this gray thing~? You actually use it to build a wall~?"
On Yunshan Mountain, Li Taigang commanded his team to transport back a batch of wood, but found that the usual yellow glutinous rice mortar was gone, replaced by a gray slurry he had never seen before, and the workers were still using it. As he watched this thing building a wall, he couldn't help but mutter to himself in confusion.
"This is the latest cement developed by the workshop, specially used to replace glutinous rice mortar! It is said that once it solidifies, it is more solid than glutinous rice mortar! Moreover, this stuff can also be brushed on the surface of walls and roads to form a layer of cement. Flatten the hard shell!”
Yan Shaoning, who was also observing the cement mortar, came over and said.
"Is it really that magical~? But I think this thing is just a pile of gray mud. It's not as powerful as Shaoning said~!"
Li Tai stared and said in disbelief.
"Well... I've heard about this too. As for whether it's really so magical, I'll find out tomorrow~!"
Yan Shaoning frowned and said.
In fact, he himself was skeptical about these.
"Ha~! Let's wait and see again tomorrow~!"
Li Tai paused and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said.
.............................
The next day.
Li Zexuan also got up early. He had to go to Yunshan to see the actual effects and response of cement.
As for Li Tai's follower, he hasn't been here for several days. He goes to Yunshan alone every day.
Mainly because after Li Zexuan started working in Yunshan and assigned all the tasks, he rarely went to the construction site. Regarding his lazy behavior, Li Tai could only curse in countless small circles in his heart. he.
Walking along the mountain road to the top of Yunshan Mountain, you can see that not far from the mountain gate, there are several cement walls two people high. The ground around them is also gray cement. Now that place has been surrounded by a circle. Circle people.
Li Zexuan smiled and walked over there.
"Haha~! This road surface is both hard and smooth. It probably won't be affected at all even if it rains! I didn't expect~! This cement is so magical!"
An old craftsman touched the road with his hand and praised with emotion on his face.
"Holy shit~! Xiaoxuan can't do anything else, but it's still reliable to research new things~! Shaoning, this cement is really better than glutinous rice mortar~! Haha~! This cement floor is good~! It's smoother than the bluestone road ! No, no, no~! From now on, the road in my palace must be smoothed with cement~!"
Li Tai touched here and pressed there, then jumped up and patted Yan Shaoning's shoulder and laughed.
As for why he jumped up, ahem, of course it was because of his height. Since he was a child, this little fat guy only ate without exercising. He developed too much horizontally and basically didn't develop much vertically.
As soon as Li Zexuan walked to the outside of the crowd, he heard what the little fat man had planned for him. He couldn't help but darken his face, stepped forward quickly, slapped Li Tai on the back of the head, and said:
"What do you mean you can't do anything else~? Qingque, come and tell me, what can't I do~?"
As a man, the most taboo thing is for others to say that he is not good enough. This already involves a man's dignity. Li Zexuan is not willing to let go of this mean-mouthed fat man easily.
