No shortage of walls

After all, crystal, a peerless treasure, was certainly a surprise to the world when it first came out; but it would be weird to have it available to anyone who wants to buy it. The more I buy, the more I get used to it. Even if you like it and have money, you can't buy several rooms full of crystals, right?

Treasures are treasures because they are young, right? If there were as much gold as stones in the world and it was used as concrete, it would probably only cost the same as the stones. When used for concrete, gold may not be as useful as stone, let alone iron.

Pure gold is soft and building a house should not meet the specifications.

But even so, Song Xing's broken glass also defrauded countless gold, silver, grain, cattle, horses and sheep.

Then, they were asked to make thirty pairs of spectacle frames according to the drawings, and then go back to the palace to grind the crystals into spectacle lenses, make glasses for grandma, and then send them back to the palace.

The workers were very happy when they saw the emperor coming to be their master in person. Who knew that the emperor had such fantastic ideas in his little head?

Song Xing stayed in the workshop for two months and did not go to Xunshan until August 16th.

Along the way, I thought of others spending hundreds ofI almost laughed out loud when I came to buy a glass mirror with some money. I bought them online in my previous life, and they were very bright for just a few dollars, so I didn’t feel sad if I just lost a few.

The price was set by Cui Zheng and several other high-ranking officials, all of whom were from the former Prince Jing's palace. Considering that the Crown Prince's magical skills cannot be sold cheaply, and besides, it is an unprecedented treasure, so selling it cheaply is uneconomical. The emperor raised his salary, waived taxes and lowered taxes, casually rewarded him with two months' salary when he was in a good mood, and prepared to eat when winter came at the end of the year. It was all money from the imperial treasury. It was not as good as robbing to make money. That would be a disservice to the emperor. Song Xing occasionally said a few words to them. He didn't say a few words to Cui Zheng, but asked him to think of ways to train generals. Thousands of armies are easy to come by, but one general is hard to find. There are many generals in Cui Zheng’s old army. They all died in hundreds of battles and were personally brought out by His Highness Prince Jing. However, the workshop cannot be handed over to others. The coordinator of the workshop To take care of both, you also need someone who is capable. The workshop is too big, and there are too many things to do. It cannot be arranged by Cui Zheng with just a few pigs.

Originally, the Minister of War was left to Cui Zheng and Liu Guo, but they had no choice. The old court suffered too many losses, and they were not old people, so they were really worried.

The most important problem now is of course the general who leads the army, commanding more than ten thousand troops. The person in charge cannot be those who are good at martial arts. The battlefield is no better than armies on paper. The reaction is urgent and the pressure is high, which is beyond ordinary people's imagination. Everyone wants to become famous in one battle and honor their ancestors, but personal ability has little to do with loyalty and passion. In the past, His Highness Prince Jing was undefeated, which could not be achieved by relying on personal martial arts.

Decision-making, situation, and emergency response are the biggest tests for a general. Just like Liu He and Liu Xiong said when they recommended it, a general who defends a city must also practice his agility in attacking a city.

In Song Xing's previous life, there was a guy who was an armchair strategist. His words were better than his singing, and he was invincible in the world for a while. Once you get to the battlefield, it's over.

Moreover, leading troops in war is not for you to experience. If you make a slight mistake, those ten thousand or even tens of thousands of men will be separated from their old friends forever. The country has also lost its military strength, and the situation has suddenly changed. If it is serious, it will endanger the country.

Those people were sent north with enthusiasm; no one could expect to come back alive. They all remembered the old kindness of King Jing and committed themselves to death. Who knows, not only did they not have to die, but now they had three meals to increase their salary. Seeing that the Song Dynasty was becoming more and more powerful, and my little life was getting better and better, naturally my heart became more and more happy. Happy.

If you brought a cart of gold back to Xia Ming's era, how much would it be worth? It's just that gold has a price, and those treasures without price are better.

Song Xing rushed to Xunshan, but there was nothing to do; he arrived directly.

The guard general of Xunshan is named Zhang Chenggong, and he has just been replaced by the original guard general Liu Qixi. He was Wu Wei's deputy general, the second-rank deputy commander. He led 20,000 people from the north and 5,000 new troops from the south to guard Xunshan Pass and Jiangbei Pass where the Lu people came to do business.

Song Xing originally wanted to wait until the end of the year to change. But the war turned into chaos as soon as it happened, and there was no way to stick to the original plan. Just make your own decision as early as possible. Secondly, I feel uncomfortable if others know that I will change my defense at the end of the year. Why do I have to make you guess right when I change the army and adjust the defense? Thirdly, the main thing is that the Song people guarded the border, but the Liao and Chen soldiers were not yet fully convinced.

When there was no business, the Song State and the other country, the Lu State, claimed to be on good terms with each other, but they only kept in contact from time to time for three or two years. They said that we were all good brothers, but it was really rare to see each other once in a lifetime, and it was difficult to meet each other. It's just a courtesy of so-called diplomatic relations. Anyway, you don’t know what’s going on in my family, and I don’t know what’s going on in your family. After meeting, both parties tried their best to flatter each other, then turned around and scolded each other in disappointment. It turns out that this place is under the control of a local town. They just sent a dozen soldiers to sit and watch the villagers fishing, but after the new emperor came to the throne, the Lu State had no intention of visiting. At that time, Song Xing didn't know that there was a good brother, the Lu State, across the way.

The Lu State was also very idle, and Emperor Qingyuan never sent anyone to the south. People from Lu came here only once, but this time, they saw things they had never seen or heard of before, so they bought some back. But as soon as they came, the Lu State made money faster and faster. They were doing business as private merchants, but in fact it was the state that was doing the business.

It turns out that the transactions between both parties took place in the workshop. Later, too many ships came, and Cui Zheng was afraid that the Lu people had bad intentions. Then he asked the emperor to build a large warehouse in Jiangbeiguan, and transport the produced goods here early to wait for the Lu people to place orders. He also mobilized heavy troops to guard and return to Xunshan for control. He told the Lu people that it was inconvenient.

Of course, the people of Lu also understood what the Song Dynasty meant. As a country, no one should give up an inch of land and everyone has the heart to guard against others. Moreover, by car and boat, this place is really more convenient than the workshop, and the workers have already arrived at the warehouse. The factory can no longer be transferred and sold to others. Moreover, the Song Dynasty was very polite and courteous. When he saw the ship coming from a distance, he served him well with wine and food. The women in the city immediately pulled him over to accompany him. Since there was no intention to offend the Song Dynasty, this is how people do business. It’s also 120,000 points.

The original location of Laijiang was completely deserted. I don't know how many years ago, there were only a few broken fish boats. However, after the orthodox emperor came to the throne, due to business dealings with the south, the city gradually became a small town. Song Xing just felt that there were still few people, so he did not approve the construction of a big city and the establishment of a fourth-grade prefecture. However, according to this development trend, it would not be many years before the establishment of a fourth-grade prefecture. If it weren't for the war and the loss of population, it would have been approved long ago.

It's just that Song Xing's intention is to conquer the world, and there have been wars for many years. It's really early to build a big city and establish a fourth rank.

Song Xing visited the south and found that there were still large areas of empty land. According to previous understandings, before the Song and Tang Dynasties, the population of China was not large, and it was also limited by food and war medical conditions. It was only later with the advent of sweet potatoes that it developed to more than 400 million people. Later, when it became highly civilized, more than a billion people used it as a routine operation.
