Hearing this, the envoy felt a little uncomfortable.

Ask him to make a condition?How to open this?

After thinking about it, it seems that Chengzhou Kingdom has nothing left!

You can't cede the land to Lu Chensheng!

The other party wanted a craftsman or something, which actually made him breathe a sigh of relief.

No matter where the craftsman is, they are of low status. What's wrong with giving such a person to Lu Chensheng?

It's just that he didn't want to agree too quickly, and also wanted to test one or two.

It's just that Lu Chensheng didn't seem to be fooled, and directly asked him to make a condition.

"Well, if you think about it, Mr. Lu, is there anything else you need?"

The messenger touched the teacup unnaturally and said, he still wanted to continue to test.

"I'm sorry, if I really think about it, it's best to hope that you can get money, after all, Xing Seoul City is also short of money."

Lu Chensheng sighed with emotion, as if asking for money.

The envoy was shocked immediately, how could Chengzhou have any money!

Moreover, Xing Seoul is also crying poor here?What a joke!

What about the more than 100 million silver taels you earned before?Even if you take it and throw it away, it will take dozens of days!

"Here, Mr. Lu, please bear with me, and ask when I go back next time."

The emissary didn't want to talk anymore, he didn't find out anything, but it was Lu Chensheng's words that blocked him to death.

The difference is that either you come up with technology or you come up with money.

If the emperor knows this, he will definitely come up with technology.

He didn't really think much about it, he felt that it would be better if Lu Chensheng didn't give him what he wanted.

But if the emperor knows about this, he will definitely be skinned.

He said he would go back and ask, but in fact, he already knew that the emperor would definitely agree.

Feeling helpless, after seeing Lu Chensheng waving his hand to let him leave, the messenger still wrote it down in the letter, hoping that the emperor would think about it more.

This kind of technology may be of great use, and it is not easy to agree to Lu Chensheng's request.

After finishing writing, he sighed.

That's all he can do, and it's not him who makes the decisions.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it would be better to agree directly and then return to his life.

In this way, he has merits to take, and the emperor will be happy.

It's just that he still wants to try, hoping to persuade the emperor.

Lu Chensheng didn't pay attention to the situation here, he had already figured it out, the possibility that the other party would not agree was too low.

I have spent so long here just for the matter of the canal. It is conceivable how much the other party hopes that this matter can be settled.

Back in the yard, I saw the two daughters looking at each other with curiosity in their eyes.

Lu Chensheng originally wanted to hug two.

But after thinking about it, I dispelled this idea. The newly born Yiyi is too fragile, so she should be more careful when holding her, just cover her head.

"Is the matter settled?"

Seeing Lu Chensheng coming back, Qiong Yue asked gently.

"No, I thought that the other party would be able to negotiate with such an eager look this time, but I didn't expect the other party to think more about it. This guy is a talent. I can see that I am interested in Cheng Zhouguo's skill. need.

It's a pity that he can't change anything after seeing it. Relatively speaking, the canal has brought them more benefits, and this technology is nothing.

What's more, if I'm not mistaken, he doesn't have much right to speak, and can only make some suggestions, and the matter will be settled by then. "

After being in power for a long time, Lu Chensheng also knows how to read a person's mind and how to distinguish it.

In addition, there is gradually a mentality to control the overall situation.

It seems that Lu Chensheng guessed it by himself, but Lu Chensheng can be sure that everything is under his control.

"Technology? Is it important?"

Qiong Yue was a little confused.

Lu Chensheng shook his head, "I don't know what it is for now, I just heard it, but no matter what it is, if you can get it, even if the technology itself has no value, it is still a technology after research. After a thorough understanding, it will be of some help when studying the rest of the technology."

Lu Chensheng responded.

Generally speaking, this technology may not have much effect, but it may have new inspiration for blacksmiths, and new ideas will be integrated into it.

This is important.

Qiong Yue immediately understood what it meant when she heard the words.

After staying with Lu Chensheng for a long time, I still understand some things.

"In that case, this technology is still very important."

"Yes, otherwise, I would not easily agree to build a canal for the other party, even though the canal will be good for us after it is built."

Lu Chensheng smiled.

When the canal is built, it will be much more convenient for the opponent to transport troops, and the same is true for Star Seoul.

Perhaps outsiders thought that Lu Chensheng's goal was only Jiang Guo, right?

It never occurred to him that Lu Chensheng's goal is not only Jiang Guo?

A few days later, the messenger brought a message that Cheng Zhou agreed to Lu Chensheng's conditions.

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng was overjoyed, and what made Lu Chensheng even happier was that, in order to show sincerity, the other party also sent a craftsman who knew this technique.

Lu Chensheng directly arranged for the craftsman who was sent.

Craftsmen like this are not valued very much, but after entering Xinghan City, especially the core area, they will be more guarded in the future.

Before Lu Chensheng wiped out the other three countries, these craftsmen would be guarded in Xinghan City. After the overall situation was settled, the guards on these people would be relaxed.

Presumably at that time, even these craftsmen should have terminated their other purposes.

Chapter 5 and Two

A long cement road was built towards Jiang Country.

At a glance, under the sunlight, there is a little white light. Standing on the city wall, you can see that this road leads to a very far place.

The road was repaired extremely spacious, and carriages could be seen galloping along the road.

The horse's hoof fell on the road, making a very crisp sound.

On the other side, a seemingly extremely deep gully is passing in another direction. The gully has not yet connected to the moat outside, so there is no water in it.

Countless strong men are sweating and working hard to reclaim the canal.

"Oh!"

A sound came from far away, Lu Chensheng took a telescope and took a closer look, and after seeing the situation in the distance clearly, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

"How many times have I told them, but I just don't want to listen. Although the road is easy to walk, it should be restricted. Now it's fine, and the car overturned again!"

Lu Chensheng had a somewhat resentful expression on his face.

I was also left speechless by these people, and I have told them countless times to be more careful when asking them to drive the carriage.

Lu Chensheng didn't know how many times he watched it, and saw the accident of the carriage overturning.

Just because the road is easy to walk, it is a pleasure to gallop on it.

But in this way, some things are easy to happen.

No, I saw the carriage flipped over again.

"Shopkeeper, do you want to take care of it?"

The soldiers on the side heard the words and immediately asked.

"Send some people to see if there are any wounded or anything, to see if there is any need for assistance."

Lu Chensheng replied, since he saw it, he couldn't just sit idly by.

Lu Chensheng had just finished speaking, and then saw through the binoculars that the passing carriages stopped one after another, and then stepped forward to ask the other party how they were doing.

Some people began to pack up the other party's scattered goods and other items, and put them aside after sorting out.

Lu Chensheng was quite satisfied watching this scene.

He didn't leave directly, and he didn't add insult to injury. This is what Lu Chensheng wanted to see.

If he sees someone who dares to do something that Lu Chensheng doesn't like, this guy will not think about it in the future, and he will be able to enter the star city of Seoul.

The soldiers on the side didn't delay, and immediately sent a group of people out to check the situation, while he still stuck to his post.

"Shopkeeper, all these people have been taken to dig canals, and my manpower is too rare!"

Lu Chensheng just went down the city wall, and someone came looking for him immediately.

"Boss, take a look. A large number of soldiers were recruited before, and the number of men has decreased so much. Now those prisoners are sent to dig canals. There is a serious shortage of manpower!"

The people who came here pulled Lu Chensheng and began to complain.

It felt okay before, with the captives and the manpower in the city, it was barely enough.

But all of a sudden, Lu Chensheng started digging canals again, transferred a large number of people away, and then started recruiting troops again. Now there is not enough manpower!

There are some people in the city who have gone directly to farming. This way, manpower is even more scarce.

Lu Chensheng looked at the other party with helplessness on his face. These days, these people said every day that there were not enough people, but Lu Chensheng was annoyed a little helplessly.

"Insufficient manpower, just bear with it for now."

Lu Chensheng rubbed his forehead, accepting Zhou Guo's urging, saying that he wanted Lu Chensheng to build the canal as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of others, the gold mine has already started to be dug, and the canal is indeed more important, so Lu Chensheng arranged this matter first.

A large number of manpower was directly mobilized to dig the canal.

As a result, there is indeed a shortage of manpower in the city, and everyone is already tense.

"Shopkeeper, there are so many people outside the city, if you just call in some people, there are enough people!"

He finally couldn't help it, and proposed to Lu Chensheng.

But looking at those people outside the city, he really struggled for a long time, and his heart moved for a long time.

Lu Chensheng glanced at it helplessly, "No way, how can outsiders let them in casually?"

This has been stipulated before, let these people get familiar with it first, and then hone it.

After this year, the people outside may not know much about the inside of the city, but they still know a little bit.

If this is put in directly, how can it work?

"I haven't said it before. There are so many changes in the city now, and some tests are needed before people come in. It can be regarded as a correction."

Lu Chensheng continued to speak.

Now that this matter has been said, it cannot be changed.

"Okay, when the autumn harvest comes, some people will be selected to come in, so bear with it for now and wait until the autumn harvest."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and spoke to the other party.

Seeing what Lu Chensheng said, even if the person in charge of the workshop was helpless, he could only retreat.

Lu Chensheng shook his head. There are so many people outside the city, and now a large number of people have been transferred to dig the canal.

Just dig the canal and they'll take care of the crops too.

It's still spring.

In a few days, it will be summer again. At that time, the weather will be hot, and it will not be so easy to work outside.

The Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions has returned, and Lu Chensheng was surprised when the other party came back this time.
