I Built a Territory in Ancient Times - Chapter 185
Too slow, too far from what he imagined planned.
“If you want the borderland to be stable and peaceful, you not only need to send troops to disrupt the attack, but also to create chaos in their royal court, so they can’t make concerted efforts to free up their hands.” Xie Yixiu said.
“So, for the Suixi country, we have to keep an eye on it all the time, and the spies we trained can be inserted.”
This is Ming Yu’s plan. Since Ming Yu returned from Suixi last time, he has planned to let his spies go deep into the enemy, and it is best to gain the trust of the powerful.
In the past, their spies were just listening for news on the fringes, but they never thought about assigning tasks to let them get in touch with them, and they never thought about letting them get in touch with the royal court dignitaries.
After Ming Yu understood, they made a plan to let their people change their previous strategies and work hard to contact the royal court. As long as it can penetrate into the enemy’s interior, when it is needed, not only can it bring out news, but it can also provoke disputes within the enemy and stir up the murky waters.
“It’s a bit difficult, but it’s already clear, and some people have already started contacting it, but it’s not easy to get results for a while.” Xie Yixiu naturally participated in this plan, and he also gave a lot of suggestions. So Xie Yixiu is very clear and supervises this one.
There is no way, who said that Ming Yu has few people in his hands, and he can only have multiple roles by himself, and those who can do more work.
“That’s true, don’t worry, everything should be done with care, and don’t let it go, so as not to fall short.” Ming Yu instructed.
Xie Yixiu naturally knew this, and he had already ordered it. These spies who accepted the mission were all quick-witted and quick-witted, and they were very trustworthy. I believe that after a long time, they will be able to complete the task well.
However, he remembered one thing and asked, “Does your lord still remember Tuoba Jiu?”
When it comes to Tuoba Jiu, Ming Yu remembers it, not only remembering but also deeply impressed. Wasn’t he planted in this person’s hands? It is impossible for him to forget it for a lifetime.
Ming Yu nodded, “Tuoba Jiu, he is also the prince of Suixi, this time back to the royal court, will he restore his identity?”
Tuoba Jiu really hid it too deeply. If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed that Gan Jiu, who had always lived in Liangcheng, was the prince of Suixi Kingdom.
“Indeed, Tuobahong has restored his status as a prince, but this status doesn’t have a big effect. He is still a transparent person. Tuobahong sealed a place for him, which is considered to be far away.” Xie Yixiu also got it. The Xinbao learned about what happened after Tuoba Jiu returned, so he paid attention.
This is the ending I think about it. For a prince who was neglected and abandoned early, it is already very good to have a place to live in peace.
However, Ming Yu didn’t know what Xie Yixiu meant by mentioning this irrelevant person at this time.
“Maybe this person will be of value. It can be used by people. Maybe it will be used one day in the future?” Xie Yixiu narrowed his eyes. This person may be a chess piece. It should still be possible to make a fuss about him.
A thought flashed in Ming Yu’s mind, but it was fleeting, and he wanted to catch it but there was nothing. He paced with his hands behind his back, wanting to think deeply, but his thoughts were very confused for a while.
Ming Yu had no choice but to stop thinking about it, and followed Xie Yixiu’s words and replied, “Alright, you can arrange it yourself. Even if it’s a piece of idle chess, it can be useful for a day. Anyway, it’s best to plan ahead.”
The two agreed on how to go next, and Xie Yixiu said goodbye and left.
In the workshop, Huang Lao frowned and scratched his head with both hands. He scratched off several strands of his sparse gray hair.
“Huang Lao, why don’t you send someone to ask the prince?” The people around him couldn’t help saying when they saw Huang Lao like this.
Huang Lao is now studying the cement formula left by Ming Yu, and they have never seen the cement in the mouth of the prince. But then again, the things that the lord came up with are all bizarre things, and they have never heard of it.
Things like glass, clairvoyance, and thunderbolts, when the lord said it, they never believed that there was such a thing. Are these things sure that only gods in the sky can have them? However, these miraculous things were really created in their step-by-step experiments.
Now, as long as it is what the lord said, they have fully believed that they will be able to create miracles and show these perfect productions.
The craftsmanship has now been completely divided into research and production of new things, and when these things are developed, the recipe steps will be distributed to the craftsmen below that belong to the craftsmanship branch.
The workshop is divided by assembly line, which means that only one part can be made in one place. The process in several places is completely different, and at the end, the scattered parts of the production are completely integrated, and it is complete.
In this way, the benefits can be seen with the naked eye, and the workers in each place can master the process proficiently, so that the quantity and speed of production can be maximized. The second and most important point is that it is not easy to leak secrets. Even if there are enemy spies who want to inquire, they are just peeking at the leopard. It is impossible to fully understand the entire process, and naturally it is impossible to steal the method.
This thing called cement has been developed for a long time, but for some reason, it is always a lot different from what the prince said. They compared the proportions of raw materials one by one, and they are not as outstanding as the king said.
Huang Lao was a little hesitant. They worked **** this thing, but there was something they didn’t achieve that made them unimaginable.
He frowned and said, “Your Majesty has a lot of time and is busy with the Xiqi Corridor. The affairs are cumbersome, and we are bothering the lord with this matter. It’s really unreasonable.”
He is also unable to overcome this hurdle in his heart. The lord has already put forward a general direction, and the rest is made by these people. If everything bothers the lord, what else do they need to do?
“Then what should I do? Can’t delay the prince’s business?” The other person worried.
Huang Lao sighed, “What else can I do, continue the experiment.” He didn’t believe it anymore, he was just about to close the door, and he couldn’t figure it out after a few more experiments. “You all think about it and see what else you can do. We are recruiting everyone now to brainstorm ideas. We are researchers valued by the prince, and we can’t rely on the prince for everything.”
“Hahaha! Are you all here? What do you expect from this king? This king only made some suggestions, and the specifics are not much better than yours. Many things have to rely on everyone’s collective efforts to experiment.”
As soon as the words fell, Ming Yu had already strode in.
Everyone was surprised and happy, they were thinking about the prince, and this is coming. They rely on Ming Yu to solve problems, mainly because Ming Yu’s thinking is different from most of them. His thinking is free and active, and he can imagine many impossible things. It’s not like they are too old-fashioned and stubborn, always looking at everything in a specific way of thinking, how creative can this be?
In many cases, one or two words from the prince can remind them of the direction of research and creation, so that they can avoid a lot of detours.
Seeing Ming Yu, everyone got up one after another, and Huang Lao took the lead in saluting Ming Yu, “Greetings to the lord.”
Ming Yu helped him up and waved his hand, “I haven’t been here for a while, so why are everyone being polite.”
One sentence made the atmosphere in the whole field relaxed. The prince is still the kind and caring prince who has never changed, which made everyone feel at ease.
Ming Yu walked to the upper seat and sat down, signaling everyone to sit down and discuss. Here is Ming Yu’s specially remodeled conference room. The space is very large, with a long table in the middle, which can accommodate a dozen or twenty people for meetings and discussions.
Ming Yu came by coincidence, and they happened to have a meeting to discuss because there was no progress in the cement.
After everyone sat down, Ming Yu spread out his hands, “Tell me about the situation, how is it going.”
Cement is the top priority of Ming Yu’s explanation, so now all the people in the craftsmanship are focusing on this topic. At this time, when Ming Yu asked, everyone felt a sense of guilt.
They have been researching and producing for so long, but they have not made any progress so far. How can they be worthy of the prince’s entrustment.

Huang Lao’s face was embarrassed, “My lord, the villain has been entrusted by the lord, and the cement you mentioned has never met the standard that the lord said.”
Ming Yu nodded, motioning for him to clarify.
Huang Lao’s face was full of folds, and now he frowned, looking even deeper. He talked about the development of cement, and finally said helplessly: “We have adjusted the ratio many times, and the strength of the burned cement is not enough to meet the requirements of the prince.”
Ming Yu frowned and pondered, he knew that cement was very simple, it only needed to be calcined in the proportion of the formula, and then ground into fine powder. Since Mr. Huang said that there is no problem with the ratio, which link is the problem?
Ming Yu repeatedly asked some places, and Huang Lao and everyone answered them one by one.
There is really no problem with the proportioning steps, Ming Yu thought for a long time, then raised his head, what is your calcination temperature?
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why, but Huang Lao stood up and replied: “Hui Wangye, we use firewood to burn, what’s the reason for this temperature?”
Ming Yu patted his head after hearing this, “It’s not black coal, so why not use coal for calcination?”
Someone replied: “What the lord said was the black stone? That thing is rare, I
