Early in the morning, Li Qiu gathered everyone.
"Today, I have good news for you.”
Li Qiu smiled faintly and pointed to Jia Xu who was standing respectfully at the side."Yesterday, a strategist came to seek refuge. He has true talent and is loyal to me.”
"Therefore, from this moment on, he is my number one strategist. Currently, he is in charge of internal affairs and logistics.”
"All of you need to do your best to cooperate.”
"Jia Xu greets everyone."
As Li Qiu finished speaking, Jia Xu immediately smiled and cupped his hands to everyone.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone dispersed. After all, Li Qiu's subordinates had just taken down the Tibetan army not long ago, so there were still many things to do.
Meanwhile, Jia Xu brought some of the subordinates that Li Qiu had assigned to him and began to look for a place to plant food.
Logically speaking, a great strategist of a generation being assigned to grow food would naturally be very dissatisfied, but Jia Xu did not have such thoughts at all.
Not only did he not show any dissatisfaction, but he was also meticulous in his work and was even extremely strict!
After a few days, they finally found a suitable place to plant the high-yield corn seeds that Li Qiu had taken out…
On this day, Li Qiu, Chen Qingzhi, Jia Xu, Zhan Peng, and the other important subordinates gathered on the city wall.
Looking into the distance for a long time, Li Qiu suddenly said,""What do you think of the city wall under our feet?”
The few of them looked at each other in confusion.
However, Zhan Peng was Li Qiu's trusted aide who had followed him for the longest time, so he undoubtedly understood Li Qiu the most. He said according to his own thoughts,""Your Highness, I think this city wall is not bad.”
"This is the imperial city of the Western Regions. It can be seen that a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources were spent on its construction. It was built with stones that weigh more than a hundred catties each, and it is difficult to destroy.”
"Moreover, the city walls are more than twenty feet high. If there is a war, it will be very difficult to cross!”
"The only weakness is the city gate…"
"Do you all think so too?"
Li Qiu then looked at Jia Xu and Chen Qingzhi…
Chen Qingzhi frowned slightly. After a moment of estimation, although he did not say a word, he took his spear and walked down the city wall.
"He wants to…"
Jia Xu's expression changed slightly.
The next moment…
"Break!"
Chen Qingzhi roared. His white robe fluttered without wind. The spear in his hand was like a dragon swimming out of the sea. He suddenly pointed and stabbed at the city wall!
Peng!
With a loud explosion, gravel flew everywhere. The city wall made of hard stones instantly had a hole about one meter in diameter under this spear!
Although it did not pierce through the city wall, this attack was already terrifying!
After doing all this, Chen Qingzhi's expression did not change. He stood with his pistol.
" General Chen, you're so powerful!"
Jia Xu exclaimed, his eyes filled with shock."If he was born during the Three Kingdoms period, he would not be weaker than Lu Bu!”
"It is indeed powerful!"
Zhan Peng also exclaimed," Such shocking destructive power. Even if I go all out, I'm still far from it!"”
"It seems that the city wall, which is already very good in my eyes, is only so-so in the eyes of an expert like General Chen!”
Although the spear did not pierce through the city wall, nor did it directly collapse the city wall, this was enough to explain many problems!
He was alone, and he had already created such a huge hole with a single spear strike. What if he were to use a few more spears?
So what if they were attacked by some powerful armies?
If Chen Qingzhi wanted to, he could even climb up the city wall alone without using any external objects!
"General Chen is indeed extraordinary."
However, Li Qiu was not surprised by this. Instead, he smiled and said,""For ordinary soldiers, this city wall is indeed enough. Its defensive power is shocking.”
"But to experts, this city wall is nothing more than this.”
"Therefore, this king has long decided to strengthen and raise the city walls so that this king will no longer have to worry about the rear!”
"When the time comes, it won't just be the imperial cities of the Western Regions. We'll have to take every step carefully. All the cities we've taken will have to be impregnable, so that people will feel despair and even lose the thought of attacking them!”
Ayena heard this and asked curiously,""Master already has an idea? How should he strengthen the city wall?”
As the princess of the Western Region, Ayena only knew today that the city walls of her capital were so vulnerable in the eyes of experts!
If a group of experts like Chen Qingzhi came, wouldn't they directly tear down the city walls?
Although there were not many experts like Chen Qingzhi…the Great Tang had many experts as well!
"Naturally."
"Zhanpeng, how are the results of the various materials I asked you to bring along?" Li Qiu smiled.”
"Your Highness, those materials have already piled up into a mountain. However, this general doesn't know what they are for, so they have been piled up near the camp and have not been used.”
"Good! Tell them to increase their efforts and continue to collect materials. As for the use of them…you will know very soon!”
……
Li Qiu personally mixed the materials that he had already collected according to a certain ratio and began to make cement!
In fact, the production process of the cement was not complicated, and the materials were not particularly difficult to find.
According to the formula given by the system, it was simply to prepare 80% of coal dust, 15% of limestone, and 50% of plaster.
After that, he removed the black core from the dry coal ash, then put the pre-refined quicklime and plaster into the pot and mixed them together. He stirred them evenly with a shovel, and finally ground them until they were fine. When he touched the smooth powder, it became cement.
The entire process was not complicated.
Li Qiu personally went into action and covered it up. He also instructed Jia Xu and some of his trusted aides to watch from the side. In just two or three times, they had already learned it.
In the next few days, he worked overtime to make cement. Manpower? Naturally, it was the 60,000 Tibetan captives!
It would be a waste not to use good manpower!
With the production of more than 60,000 captives, hundreds or even thousands of tons of cement could be produced every day!
On the other side, Jia Xu had finally brought his men to plant all the corn seeds and began to 'increase income and reduce expenditure', preparing for next year's grain.
Although he had planted corn, as a strategist, he naturally had to take three steps at a time. It was impossible for him to stop thinking about food just because he had corn.
Under such busyness, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Within half a month, the cement production had already exceeded ten thousand tons!
It seemed like a terrifying number. If it was used to build houses, it would indeed be able to build a lot. However…what Li Qiu wanted to build now was the city wall.
Ten thousand tons…
It could barely strengthen and raise the city walls of the capital.
It was also on this day that Li Qiu gave the order to reinforce the city walls!
A huge project began.
