casket of old days

Chapter 476
After Chu Qiguang presided over the work of the Qi and Blood Workshop, the kiln in the village finally produced results.

Chu Qiguang still remembers that he ordered Wang Cailiang to build the kiln in Yaoyin Village after he came in from the outside craftsman.

It has been more than two years now.

These artisans who originally belonged to humans gradually adapted to the life in the village after Chu Qiguang gave them the Heavenly Demon Foundation-Building Method, and began to work for Chu Qiguang.

After all, there is plenty of food in the village, and there are no land taxes and corvees. Although there are various rules such as hygiene and performance, after getting used to them, it is much more comfortable for them than the world outside.

One of the tasks assigned by Chu Qiguang to the craftsmen on the kiln side is to burn cement.

Burning cement was already a very common thing in Chu Qiguang's last life on Earth, but it is not easy in this world.

Chu Qiguang gave the craftsmen a general formula based on the memory of his previous life.

Later, craftsmen began to make cement based on the limestone and kaolin that could be mined in Jiling as raw materials.

They are constantly experimenting and the recipe has changed several times.

During the period, the craftsmen encountered the problem of insufficient firing temperature, and the craftsmen tried many times, but it was still difficult to succeed.

They could only keep reading the chemistry and physics knowledge written by Chu Qiguang in middle and high schools, and began to improve the stove, make bellows, and choose coal from Meishan as fuel...

Fortunately, they were caught in the foundation-building method of the sky demon, so they didn't become enchanted in the process of learning.

During the period, there was also the help of Qi and Blood Workshop, who built many customized bone tools for them to transform the furnace.

After all, the bone tools made by the blood pool are extraordinary biological tissues. Not only can they be shaped at will, but their strength is higher than that of steel. They are also extremely resistant to high temperatures. They are good refractory materials.

A group of mortal craftsmen spent a lot of time in this way, and after solving one problem after another, they finally refined cement that met Chu Qiguang's requirements.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang, led by craftsmen, came to a brick wall glued with cement.

There are still many similar cement brick walls around, and the walls are full of traces of various beatings and impacts. These are experimental products that the craftsmen have tried and failed in the past, and the strength of the cement has not met Chu Qiguang's requirements.

Chu Qiguang pressed the cement brick wall in front of him, and a hard feeling came from it.

'It is estimated that it will be difficult for ordinary First Realm warriors to destroy this kind of cement wall. '

'But the key is to be fast enough. Using this kind of cement to build houses and build roads has greatly improved the efficiency. '

'It is more convenient and easy to use than the wood or lime used in building houses in the Han Dynasty. '

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly, and said to the craftsmen beside him: "Good job, does any of you want to leave the village?"

With this cement in his hand, Chu Qiguang was naturally not satisfied with only using it in the village.

……

Wing On 18th, late August.

On a school field in Yunzhongjun Town.

Chu Qiguang sat on the high platform with Zhou Junyan, the commander-in-chief of Yunzhong Junzhen, the 'Sharp Spear'.

Below them is a group of soldiers demonstrating the bone swords, knives, and guns of the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, as well as the cement that Chu Qiguang ordered.

Chu Qiguang said from the side: "Master Zhou has seen the weapons of the chamber of commerce before. All of them are of excellent quality and are made by masters with decades of experience. Even if they are used by the powerhouses of the five realms, they are enough to increase their quality by [-]-[-]%. combat power."

Zhou Junyan, who was short and rough, stroked his beard and snorted coldly: "You sell tens of thousands of weapons in Lingzhou alone, right? These masters each have ten hands. Are you building weapons for you day and night?"

Chu Qi said without changing his face: "Oh, Master Zhou, you don't know. The master craftsmanship we talk about in the Tianwu Chamber of Commerce refers to works that represent master-level skills. It doesn't mean that every weapon is a master craftsman. Build it yourself."

"It's the master and our craftsmen who set the standard of making and strictly control the making process. It is a combination of ancient skills and modern technology."

As he said that, he saw Chu Qiguang slap several palms in a row, and Dao Dao Gang Qi rolled down, sweeping hundreds of swords off the field like a hurricane.

Driven by the stellar energy, the sword turned into a storm and shot out, directly piercing, cutting, and shattering the armor placed on the field... showing excellent quality

In the end, it was inserted into the ground with a swish, and it disappeared like inserting tofu.

Chu Qiguang smiled at the Valkyrie beside him: "As long as the soldiers on the Nine Sides use our weapons, I guarantee that the Yaozu will never want to fight them again."

Zhou Junyan curled his lips. Although he didn't really believe Chu Qiguang's nonsense, the weapons sold by the other party were indeed high-quality and cheap, which was much more cost-effective than purchasing raw materials in Yunzhongjun Town and refining them by himself.

After finalizing the business of purchasing the first batch of weapons, Chu Qiguang and Zhou Junyan talked about cement again.

"The cement was laid yesterday and dried today."

"Master Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Junyan stretched out his hand, observed it carefully, and couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes.

"After just one night's effort, it is already as strong as a rock?"

He thought in his heart that if there is such an effect, as long as there is enough cement... then it will be much more convenient to build city walls, fortresses, and even repair bridges and pave roads.

Zhou Junyan immediately felt the value of the cement, but looking at Chu Qiguang with a kind face beside him, he could only silently put the idea of ​​taking it as his own.

Although Chu Qiguang looked easy to talk to, Zhou Junyan still remembered the scene where the other party beat Zhang Xinhui violently in Tianxing Mountain.

In particular, most of his current subordinates have shares in Yunyang Chamber of Commerce, Tianwu Chamber of Commerce, and Lingzhou Agriculture.

And a lot of food, weapons, and cotton cloth in Jiubianjun Town are bought from Chu Qiguang...

Next, Zhou Junyan ordered another batch of cement from Chu Qiguang, intending to use it to build the military town and repair the city wall.

After the two sides negotiated, the rest of the details were handed over to the people under the two sides to discuss.

Zhou Junyan also wanted to stay with Chu Qiguang for a banquet, but Chu Qiguang declined.

On the way out of Yunzhongjun Town, Zhou Junyan sent Jin Haitian to see him off.

The future Eighth General of Xinghan, who is still a general of Nine Sides at the moment, is looking at Chu Qiguang with a complicated expression.

After being defeated by the opponent at the shareholder meeting last time, there have been rumors that he was beaten by the opponent.

Since then, Jin Haitian has been tempering his body every day, just thinking about defeating Chu Qiguang next time, so that he can avenge his shame.

He is indulging in the joy of exercising his body, and he can feel that he is becoming stronger and stronger every day.

But who knew that Chu Qiguang would break through to the Martial God half a year later.

And half a month ago, as Zhou Junyan's disciple, he also went to Tianxing Mountain to watch the battle together.

When seeing Chu Qiguang transform into a giant and defeat Zhang Xinhui with terrifying physical strength, Jin Haitian couldn't help being excited.

Looking at Chu Qiguang's huge, majestic, and gorgeous body, Jin Haitian knew... This is the perfect body he has always wanted to pursue.

At this time, Jin Haitian looked at Chu Qiguang who was close at hand, and even had an urge to touch him...to feel the strength of his terrifying physical body.

There is no emotion involved in this, it is purely Jin Haitian's yearning for the ultimate physical body and his respect for strength.

After all, it has always been Jin Haitian's dream to use his own body to defeat all the powerful men in the world without using any weapons.

Chu Qiguang turned his head to look at Jin Haitian, he was also very interested in this future Xinghan Eighth General.

After all, the other party will be a sure-fire strongman in the future, and it is a very cost-effective deal to make friends with the other party in advance and to buy the other party.

Moreover, this time the qi layer in the capital was broken, which made Chu Qiguang have a deeper understanding of the world, and he also had more scruples about luck in the process of development.

Thinking of the legend that the eight generals of the Xinghan Dynasty are connected with the luck of the Great Han, he thought that if more eight generals of the Xinghan Dynasty were cultivated, it might be able to boost the fortune of the country and achieve the effect of strengthening the atmosphere.

"How is your martial arts practice recently?" Chu Qiguang said kindly: "I remember that you specialize in hard martial arts, right? I have some experience in this area. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

Jin Haitian looked at Chu Qiguang with a little surprise. He could feel the sincerity in the other party's tone, but why was a Martial God who had conflicted with him so polite to him.

Chu Qiguang seemed to see the surprise hidden in the other party's eyes, smiled and said: "I feel a strong potential from you."

"I think...you have a good chance of breaking through and becoming a Martial God."

Jin Haitian was even more surprised now, he didn't expect the other party to value him so much.

Thinking that the other party has reached the current state at such a young age, after Jin Haitian hesitated for a while, he finally couldn't hold back his longing for a strong physical body.

He asked, "Master Chu...how do you think I should cultivate next...to develop such a strong body like yours."

Chu Qiguang pretended to ponder for a while, and said suddenly: "Have you thought about changing your name?"

In this world, luck really exists, and even a person's name can affect a person's luck.

Therefore, since ancient times, there have been things to change names in order to change luck and fate.

And the imperial family of the Han Dynasty was good at Feng Shui and fortune-telling, so the so-called good at the top must be very good at the bottom.

From the great officials and nobles to the common people in the Han Dynasty, they all believed in these fortune-telling theories.

In the original history, the Jin Haitian in front of him changed his life to Jin Hailong before he really became the Eighth General of the Xinghan Dynasty.

So at this moment, Jin Haitian frowned when he heard what Chu Qiguang said, and said unexpectedly: "Name?"

"Yes, your talent is very good, but your luck is just a little bit worse."

"If you can change the name and transfer, maybe you can soar into the sky."

Jin Haitian was dubious about these words, but asked again: "Then what name should I change?"

Chu Qiguang said directly: "What do you think of the name Jin Hailong?"

When Jin Haitian heard this name, he felt a strange sense of familiarity for some reason.

Chu Qiguang looked at the other party's stunned look, and smiled slightly: "You should think about it. And if you have any questions about your cultivation in the future, you can come and ask me, I am very optimistic about you."

Leaving Jin Haitian with a strange face behind, Chu Qiguang turned and left Yunzhongjun Town.

The eagle demon Qiao Zina has been following behind Chu Qiguang.

After the two came to a place where no one was there, she transformed into a giant eagle and carried Chu Qiguang straight into the sky.

Then, as cement was gradually used in Nine Frontiers Town, the reputation of cement gradually spread in Lingzhou.

More and more people began to ask the chamber of commerce for news about cement.

However, Chu Qiguang sold cement to the military town to build city walls and fortresses, at most it was just for fame.

The biggest market for this thing is people's livelihood. As cement gradually spreads, it will greatly accelerate the speed of construction all over the world.

But after Chu Qiguang handed over the following matters to the Chamber of Commerce, he didn't take care of it anymore.

After all, Wang Cailiang and the employees of the chamber of commerce are already very familiar with the process of publicity, sales, expansion, and listing after the experience of the Yunyang chamber of commerce, the Lingzhou agricultural chamber of commerce, and the Lingzhou Tianwu chamber of commerce.

Chu Qiguang believes that leaving it to them is enough to deal with it, and it will bring him endless profits in the future.

The next thing he did was to save a few lonely ghosts according to the information from Zhenmensi.

It's a pity that there are really not many ghosts in this world.

Although Chu Qiguang has used the intelligence network of cat demons, dog demons, and the Zhenma Division to find out the news, these days to save the dead, the ghost power collected is not enough for him to practice Chapter 3 of "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts".

He can only send more people to look for traces of ghosts, especially the tombs left by the past dynasties, which are all his focus.

……

During the period when Chu Qiguang was accumulating strength in Lingzhou.

The imperial court finally discussed a regulation on sending troops to the demon country.

Fifty thousand troops from the three states around Shuzhou will be mobilized to completely wipe out the Snow Mountain Demon Country.

However, such a large-scale operation consumes a lot of food and wages, and the preparation time is not short.

Now it's almost winter again, when the mountains will be covered by heavy snow, it will be even more difficult to march.

Therefore, considering all kinds of considerations, the imperial court will probably not actually send troops until the spring of next year.

But Chu Qiguang, as the secret promoter of this Southern Expedition, naturally received the news very early.

First of all, it was the decree issued by Emperor Yong'an that he and Bai Shihe would lead Shuzhou Town Magic Division to participate in this battle.

The second person who sent the letter was Mr. Wu Ge. The other party asked him to cooperate with the new governor of Shuzhou to help him complete the land clearing of Shuzhou.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Chu Qiguang smiled slightly, the letter paper had been reduced to ashes by the burst of flames.

'In the original history, the imperial court should have been dealing with the Nine Borders Rebellion in the past two years. '

' But now history has been changed. '

"Most of the current generals in Jiubian have shares in the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce, and they are all doing business with the Chamber of Commerce in private. '

'I still have to ask me to buy food, weapons, and cement... They have become the last people who don't want to mess up. '

'On the contrary... Shuzhou was completely disrupted because of my arrival, Jiejiao Li Yaofeng and Xueshan Yaoguo took action one after another. '

’ And because the Nine Sides have settled down for the time being, this freed up the imperial court to deal with Shuzhou. '

Chu Qiguang touched his chin and thought to himself: "But with the tonality of Yong'an and Wu Gelao, they will deal with Jiubian after all." '

But these have nothing to do with Chu Qiguang for the time being, and he will go on an expedition to the Snow Mountain Monster Country in more than half a year, and he can prepare for it next.

……

In Yaoyin Village, a mobilization meeting is being held.

More than 500 famous villagers were called together by Chu Qiguang and planned to go to Shuzhou in batches in the next few months.

After all, Lingzhou is too close to the capital and the border. With the development of power... this pond has become smaller and smaller for Chu Qiguang, full of various restrictions.

On the contrary, Shuzhou has a high sky and a vast land, and there is a lot to do in the future, and it can become the real base camp of Chu Qiguang in the future.

So this time he plans to mobilize a large number of elites cultivated in Yaoyin Village, and then take the Chongming Bird to Shuzhou in batches every day to prepare for the subsequent construction.

A frenzy that is far more dramatic and far-reaching than the historical changes in Lingzhou is about to start from Shuzhou and sweep towards the entire world.
