Xu Shangqing did not follow them back, but returned to the Taoist temple first.
When Zhao Jin and his party returned to the government office, they happened to meet Ning Ce.
"What kind of happy event is this?" Looking at the uncontrollable smiles on the four people's faces, Ning Ce asked with a smile.
Zhao Jin strode inside and said as he walked: "This is indeed a great event, teacher, let's go in and discuss it."
Upon entering the lobby, Zhao Jin did not go up the stairs, but stood under the stairs.
After Zhao Jin and Ning Zhizhi explained a few words about the so-called cement, he then said: "I want to rebuild the road to the city wall of Yunzhou City."
Yang Xu and others have already seen the benefits of cement roads. Rebuilding the roads in Yunzhou City with cement is a good thing, but rebuilding the city walls...
"That's inappropriate." Ning Ce frowned and immediately objected.
Even Qi Yunche had such an idea in his mind, but he shook his head and rejected it.
In the end, no one agreed.
Ning Ce laid out the harmful meaning of it, "If it is laid flat on the ground, it is indeed so strong, but we don't know the effect of building a city wall."
"Furthermore, now Beili is eyeing Yunzhou City. If we rebuild the city wall, we will inevitably tear down the old city wall."
"With such a huge movement, Beili must know about it. They take this opportunity to attack Yunzhou City. What should they do?"
The more Ning Ce talked, the more he felt that Zhao Jin's plan was quite inappropriate. "At that time, there was no city wall to block it, and Yunzhou City became a piece of meat."
Qi Yunche and others disagreed because of what Ning Ce said.
If the city wall made of cement is equally strong, it would naturally be better to replace it with cement, but this is not the right time.
"No." Zhao Jin said firmly: "Beili will not take this opportunity to attack."
Qi Yunche was startled, "Why are you so sure, sir?"
"There is serious civil strife in Beili now. They are eyeing Yunzhou City, and they will definitely want to use this as a victory to help their own battle for the heir."
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Jin was sure that Beili would not take this opportunity to invade because they were not ready yet.
"Although Yunzhou City is just a city, if they want to go to war, they must be prepared and be prepared to be attacked from behind."
"However, we have only recently sent spies into the city to investigate the situation, which means they are not ready yet."
Therefore, no matter how tempted the people of Beili are, they will not take this opportunity to confront Yunzhou City.
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "It is good to win a city, but it is just a tack. If we lose power internally because of this, it will be more than worth the loss."
Ning Ce looked a little hesitant, but war was really not his strong point.
"What do you think, Lord Lieutenant?"
The muscles on both sides of Qi Yunche's face were tense and he gritted his teeth and asked, "How sure are you, sir?"
"Ninety percent."
"good!"
Qi Yunche stared at Zhao Jin with burning eyes, "In that case, then I will listen to you."
Take a gamble!
"I will obey your orders!"
Those on the field who know how to fight have all agreed, and Ning Ce can no longer object.
It's just that I can't help but feel that this move is a bit rash.
Zhao Jin glanced at Ning Ce's expression and lowered his eyelashes.
He did take some risks.
But when Beili invaded, Zhao Jin was worried that they would not only have to face Beili, but most likely also the Liang King who had betrayed Yunzhou City to Beili.
Zhao Jin handed over the matter to Ning Ce.
The next day, there was movement in Yunzhou City.
Burn cement, recruit craftsmen, and build city walls and roads in full swing.
Although the people were curious about why they suddenly wanted to build roads and walls, they did not object as they were not aware of Beili's recent frequent actions.
At first, they were worried that the government would directly conscript them into labor.
But when the notice from the government office was posted, the people in Yunzhou City were excited.
Without him, instead of forcing them to build city walls and roads, the government recruited them with food or money.
The time for spring sowing has passed, and the people are not so busy.
Although we still have to take care of the family's fields, we can allocate half of our manpower.
Nearly half a month later, Zhao Jin received news from Qin Heng.
The ship has been built!
Zhao Jin set off for Xiangquan that day.
When passing the city gate, the people were busy building the city wall.
Using blue bricks as the lining and then adding cement, the city wall built in this way is absolutely unmatched by any existing city walls in terms of strength.
Nearly half of it has been built now, and in another half month, the new city wall will be completed.
After a brief glance, Zhao Jin rode away.
When Zhao Jin arrived at the county government office in Xiangquan, Yan Zheng, Qin Heng and Seng Fan were waiting at the gate of the county government office after receiving the news.
Even behind them stood the heads of the Wei family and the Cao family.
"Hush!"
Zhao Jin tightened the reins and jumped off the horse.
"Master Ning."
"Let's go in and talk about it later!" Handing the horse to the Yamen Guard, Zhao Jin strode towards the county Yamen.
Wei Zheng and Cao Huanxuan looked frightened.
They had seen Yan Zheng's good attitude towards Zhao Jin before, and they were already surprised.
But today they discovered that Yan Zheng seemed to be dominated by Zhao Jin in front of him.
Wei Zheng suppressed the surprise on his face and thought to himself: Who is this Ning Jin?
The reason why Zhao Jin concealed his identity last time was to test the Wei family and the Cao family.
He looked at Qin Heng and Seng Fan, and Qin Heng nodded lightly.
Zhao Jin understood that this meant that there was no problem with both families.
Zhao Jin sat on the main seat with a golden sword. He looked at Yan Zheng and the others, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Zheng.
"The Wei family built the boat first?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng showed a smile on his face and took a step forward. "That's right. All four ships are now parked at the port."
"good!"
Zhao Jinyang smiled and said, "I said, whoever builds the ship first will cooperate with him."
"From now on, the Wei family can cooperate with the government. Not only will it open the door to convenience for the Wei family, but the Wei family can also purchase government-made things with the government."
Wei Zheng's expression changed, "Fu Yamen?"
He took a serious look at Zhao Jin's expression and said, "This is the governor of Yunzhou County, Mr. Zhao!"
Sheriff, Mr. Zhao!
Wei Zheng and Cao Huanxuan were both shocked.
The difference is that Wei Zheng was overjoyed, while Cao Huanxuan was extremely upset.
Just by cooperating with the county government, they have already tasted endless benefits and become the two largest shipyards and fleets in Xiangquan.
If you cooperate with the government...
What's more, Zhao Jin personally promised that he could buy government-made things from the government!
Things built by the government are never sold.
Moreover, the technology of the government is often higher, and the things made by the government are even more exquisite.
It is truly something with a price but no market!
Wei Zheng asked again in disbelief, "Is this true?"
