After the immortal disappeared

Chapter 1322 Building a Wall

This information is very precious to the current Yao Kingdom, and to King Yao who is worried about how to deal with Qingyang.

Fan Shuang did not doubt whether the news was true or false. It was reasonable at first. Otherwise, as a foreigner, He Lingchuan had just arrived in a foreign place. Without strong external support, how could He Lingchuan quickly establish himself and develop in just two years? So fast?

Secondly, the information is not difficult to verify. All you need to do is send someone to Blade Port to inquire. Yao Kingdom is different from other small countries on the Golden Plains in that it also has caravans traveling around the world.

He Lingchuan saw that it was almost done, but changed the topic again: "By the way, my caravan will return in seven days. There are a lot of empty cars this time, so we can transport some bamboo cloth back."

Bamboo cloth is not a valuable thing, it can only be used as a convenience.

Fan Shuang agreed to such a small matter and promised to deliver it within four days.

He Lingchuan rubbed his hands again: "Speaking of which, the bamboo cloth sample you gave me last time had the mark of the Yao Royal Family on it. I thought it looked familiar at the time, and I couldn't remember where I had seen it before. Until I went back to Yangshan Islands——”

"Oh?" Fan Shuang picked up a piece of braised mutton and asked casually, "Where have you seen it?"

"More than two years ago, I just bought the Yangshan Islands and started exploring the nearby waters. My men salvaged some sunken remains in the bay. Among them was a set of exquisite armor, which seemed to be used for ceremonial purposes or to be worn on important occasions. The armor It has this mark on it.”

Armor bearing the royal seal of the Yao King? Only then did Fan Shuang pay attention: "Did you bring the armor?"

"Brought it." He Lingchuan took out a full set of armor from the storage ring, placed it on a chair aside, and pointed to the mark on the nail: "Did I remember correctly?"

Fan Shuang observed carefully and nodded after a while: "It is indeed the royal seal. It's strange, how come it appears in the Yangshan Sea?"

"There were many hurricanes and sea monsters in the waters off the Yangshan Islands. In the past, there was an evil spirit that persisted for many years, and countless ships were wrecked." He Lingchuan explained, "The wrecks we unearthed even include ancient ships from five to six hundred years ago. "

The underwater situation in the Yangshan sea area is extremely complicated. Even with the help of Yinji, the salvage work of the archipelago has not ended yet.

Fan Shuang said seriously: "Can I take this armor back and present it to the royal family?"

"Of course." Otherwise, why did He Lingchuan take this armor to the ocean? He reached out to the side, and there was an exquisite box on the floor. Fan Shuang was shocked, "When my men found the armor, it was packed in this box."

Later they discovered that the lid of the box also had the royal seal.

Fan Shuang quickly called his entourage in, carried away the armor and boxes, then toasted He Lingchuan to thank him, and then talked about bilateral trade, occasionally mixing in some interesting things about Lingxu City.

He Lingchuan asked casually: "I remember that Huang and Huang, who were often with you in Lingxu City, are they also from Yao?"

"Good memory, Huang Shen."

"Oh, yes, how has he been doing recently? He also returned to Yao Country?"

"Still in Lingxu City."

He Lingchuan let out a long sigh: "How can he stay in Lingxu?"

The incident in the Heavenly Palace that year caused Lingxu City to expel a large number of foreigners in just four months. He Lingchuan heard that Lingxu Imperial Academy suddenly lost two people. Not only the students, but also the foreign teachers who taught were kicked out of Lingxu City.

"First of all, he is from the Yao Kingdom. Lingxu City expels outsiders, but our Yao Kingdom family members are not included." Fan Shuang smiled, "The normal life of most Yao people in Lingxu City is not affected very much."

He Lingchuan looked stunned. Bejia still took good care of his little brother.

"Secondly, Huang Shen studied palace construction in Lingxu City, and he had participated in many constructions before, so Lingxu City kept him here to build the city wall."

"City wall?" He Lingchuan let out a long sigh, "Thinking back to those days, where did Lingxu City need a city wall?"

At least not before he left.

I still remember the first time he looked at Lingxu City from a distance, Bai Ziqi beside him said that Lingxu City did not need a city wall.

Because the enemy can't reach there at all.

He Lingchuan has been doing business with Bejia a lot in the past two years, and has also sent many people to Lingxu City to inquire about various news. Of course, he knew that Lingxu City officially started the wall construction project half a year after the sudden change in Tiangong.

The reason why it took so long to start construction was because there were endless quarrels in the Lingxu Palace. One group believed that building the wall would show weakness to the enemy, and the world would think that Bega was no longer strong and confident. The other group believed that the war situation was becoming more and more serious. To block such attacks and increase the sense of security for Lingxu people, we must build a wall pragmatically.

This incident set off a vigorous discussion in Lingxu City, and the popularity was so high that it even exceeded the attention paid to Mou Zhan.

How could a local war thousands of miles away be more important than the safety of the people of Lingxu City themselves?

Now that a wall has been built in Lingxu City, it shows that the pragmatists finally won the argument.

"Yes, there was no wall in Lingxu City in the past." Fan Shuang said with a smile, "I heard that Lingxu City was not built until it was built. Since it is going to be built, it must build the best city wall in the world."

"Number one in the world?" If you dress up the fig leaf beautifully and draw a map on it, isn't it just a fig leaf? "How long will it take to build this wall?"

"A few months ago, Huang Shen complained in a letter, saying that the foundation stone of the city wall was about to be laid, but the superiors suddenly changed their mind and wanted to solve the waterlogging problem as well, so everything had to be revised!"

"Is there still waterlogging in Lingxu City?"

"In the past three hundred years, both the east and south sides have been flooded several times. This time it is said that they will be managed together."

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "Then isn't this stall getting bigger and bigger?"

"Then, there are at least dozens of formations embedded in this city wall to ensure that it cannot be damaged by artillery fire or internal enemies. In addition to being strong, it must also be beautiful. Master craftsmen are invited to emboss 108 statues of gods on the inside of the city wall, all of which are high. More than five feet. There are mezzanines, checkpoints, and broken stones in the city wall. Five carriages should be driven on the wall to transport troops and grain, etc. "

Too much wine will lead to leakage, too much talk will lead to loss. Fan Shuang drank a lot and started chatting: "He used too many terms and I can't remember them. Anyway, I think what he meant is that this wall will take a long time to be repaired."

He Lingchuan toasted him again: "Lingxu City hasn't built such a large-scale project for a long time, right?"

"Haha, isn't it?" Lingxu City followed the old foundation left by the Xian Sect, and the scale of expansion stopped two hundred years ago. In other words, Lingxu City two hundred years ago was almost the same as it is now. Later, it was renovated and maintained on the original basis, and there was no such new large-scale project.

"Everything you do is worth nothing." Fan Shuang rubbed her fingertips, "But Bejia is not short of money. If you have money, let's make money together."
