Chapter 146 Whoever should come will come

Erran at this time, there were various figures in the black city who were burning cane, but fortunately, the "mouths in his state were quite clear. Except for the two sent by the Yue Palace, they seemed not interested in the temporary Marquis' Mansion, and everyone's attention was attracted to the big Buddha and the city walls under construction...

This is the first public appearance of cement after it was invented by Fu Zhongwei hundreds of years in advance. When Han Zhongwei built his Dake warehouse in Lin'an, most of the people outside did not know what material his Dake warehouse was made of. But it was impossible to keep cement secret in Heicheng. Those magical blue-gray powder surprised everyone who saw it.

Even Dai Licheng and Meng Qing hurriedly returned to the construction site on the city wall after hearing the magic of cement. Dai Licheng had heard Li An talk about cement before. This thing was brought to Lin'an by the prince. At that time, it was said that it was bought from him for fifteen cents per pound. But hearing it is not as good as seeing. Such a little powder, add some water and sand, can dry and harden it in less than a day, and it will be as solid as a rock in two or three days.

"Meng Qing, your first priority now is to enter their workshop and thoroughly figure out how this cement is made. If you do this, I will ask the prince to order you to promote Deputy Commander Dai Licheng to pull Meng Qing aside and whisper.

"Be serious?" Meng Qing looked excited. Being the deputy commander was his highest pursuit. With his skills and abilities, this deputy commander was originally a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

"Yes, as long as you can get this done, let alone the deputy commander, it may not be impossible to be a governor in the Foreign Liberation Army." Dai Licheng saw Meng Qing's eyes shining and added fire to him. If he could get the cement production method in Heicheng this time, the prince would be able to hand in the prince's place, and both of them would be rewarded heavily.

Dai Licheng was a little dissatisfied with the prince's price of fifteen cents per pound to Zhong Wei. In his opinion, what's the strange thing about a pound of more than ten cents? But now he saw the magic of cement with his own eyes and immediately overturned his original idea. Although cement seems cheap, only tens of thousands of pounds per pound, it is very heavy, and once it needs it, it can be tens of thousands of pounds, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of pounds. If it counts in this way, a pound of fifteen cents will become an astronomical figure in the end.

Not far from Dai Licheng and the others, there were also a few people discussing in a low voice, "Brother, these things are so magical, let's grab a few cars to go back."

The person who spoke was a thin man with triangular eyes, talking to a man in black beside him with a smirk.

"Niu Er, you are idiot. This thing is as heavy as a stone. A few cars are worth a lot of money. Didn't you see the cement here being delivered up there in dozens of cars? The man in black glared at Niu Er. Cement is indeed magical, but it is heavy. Not to mention grabbing a few cars, what's the use of grabbing a dozens of cars or hundreds of cars? Even if it's not easy to transport it to the mountain, let alone is this easy to grab.

These two were not tourists from afar, just north of Heicheng. Originally, they heard that Heicheng wanted to build the world's largest Buddha, so they came to see the fun and also contributed to the construction of the Buddha. But when they arrived on the city wall, they found that Heicheng actually had a magical thing of cement. Is it because they wanted to build the Buddha and the gods gave them?

"Brother, since it's not worth it, then let's buy it from them in real money. Is there anything I can't buy in this world?" Niu Er blinked.

"Let's talk about this when I go back." The elder brother looked very unhappy. He had never spent much money on other people's things in his life. This time, his mind was here. In the future, the Buddha was well-cultivated and he could be kind enough to invite him. Seeing that Niu Er didn't move, he shouted at him again: "I'm still waiting for dinner if I don't leave. "Brother, it's almost noon now, I'm really waiting to eat here before leaving." Niu Er really thought so, because he had seen someone carrying a food box onto the city wall, and his nose was tirsty, and he smelled the aroma of meat from a distance.

"Look at your promising prospects."

Niu Er didn't care about so much and ran to get food.

Han Zhongwei was really good to these people who served in labor. Not only did they eat enough, but they could also eat meat. Of course, some Buddhists only vegetarians, so that doesn’t matter. Vegetarian dishes, buns, pancakes, and tofu soup are available.

Although Niu Er is thin, he is no worse than a sturdy man. He ate ten meat buns, five big cakes and a large bowl of tofu soup before he let go.

"Are I hungry for you usually? I feel ashamed if you don't blush.

Seeing Niu Er eating voraciously, the elder brother felt a little unbearable. Are they so mean to them usually? Didn’t they eat meat only in a month? The bandits’ family also had no surplus food.

But being able to save a meal also made the boss feel that it was not in vain. Even seeing Niu Er eat so much, he didn't think about whether he could avoid a meal at night.

After leaving the city wall construction site and returning to the city, Niu Er followed his elder brother to a small inn that he had known each other. It was quiet and would not attract attention. The most important thing was that it was cheap.

But today they were turned away. The inn owner even had food on the construction site. They had to change another inn, which had a friend in the inn, but did not pick up customers. Because the yamen had new regulations, only a few inns could pick up customers during the period when the Buddha was not repaired. Moreover, these small inns or restaurants that did not pick up customers were requisitioned by the yamen, and tens of thousands of people could be fed on the construction site every day, all of which depended on them.

The few inns that can be picked up in Black City are the best days, and the head of the company has no choice. The whole sketch is that Errui is not in trouble. The cold wind can draw the two lives of people.

"Go to Fulai Restaurant." The head of the house made up his mind. This time he came out to inquire about the news. He was not prepared to "do things" and was not worried about what the government would find out.

As soon as he entered the Fulai Restaurant, a enthusiastic waiter immediately came up and asked whether to eat or stay in a hotel. Niu Er was so arrogant that he hummed two words from his nostrils: stay in a hotel.

"Please go to the counter to register and lead them to the counter.

"I said you have nothing to do if you eat too much, right? When will you register for a hotel in Heicheng?" Niu Er was so angry that he screamed.

"Customer, this is what the prefect of the government office. From now on, all inn guests in Heicheng must register, name, age, hometown and appearance characteristics, from now on.

The person who spoke was standing at the account room at the counter of the Fulai Restaurant. This was the idea that Wang Wenbin gave to Ding Chuan. At the beginning, he just wanted to register his name, but after hearing this, Han Zhongwei added a few more items. If possible, he asked the inn to ask the guests' intention to come to Heicheng.

Dai Licheng and Meng Qing did not feel embarrassed when they checked in the Fulai Restaurant. Anyway, there were not many people who knew them in Heicheng and basically never showed up outside. In addition, they had never encountered such a thing. When the accountant who was registered for accommodation asked, the two of them blurted out their real names at the time.

But now when it was Niu Er and the others, they were worried. If you want to register your real name, Niu Er doesn't care, but as soon as the name in the head of the family came out, it would immediately scare the people in the inn. And the people in the yamen would definitely bring all their troops and jump into the restaurant to arrest them.

"May I ask about the two names of your surnames?

"Me" me, Niu Er, you first say that being a family member is a good person to kill and rob, but when you are anxious, you have to change yourself with a new name, but you are so anxious that you are anxious because you don't have much ink in your stomach.

"Niu Er, right? I don't know that Gui Geng this year?"

"Gui's mother, Genniu Er said angrily. This kid thought the accountant was teasing him, but he didn't know what Gui Geng meant.

"Just ask how old you are? Where to live in my hometown?" The accountant was very concerned about it. Damn, I just don't understand anything when I'm just messing around.

"I'm twenty this year, my hometown is here,

"Niu Er, what are you talking about? You are the one who is fucking living in Ganzhou." The head of the company saw that Niu Er was about to show his strength, and he didn't bother to think of a new name for himself. He was so scared that he stopped. If he told him where he lived, it would be no different from the size of the letter. A discerning person could know what he was doing when he saw his residence.

I don’t know which ill-ethical bastard came up with a poisonous idea, so I have to ask around when I stay in a store!

"Niu Er, 20 years old, is from Ganzhou, and is only five feet tall. He has a sharp mouth and squint eyes. He wears a short-dressed accountant and quickly puts a pen on the account book. Every night, the Public Security Bureau will send someone to check, but it is not careless. "I wonder what the two of you are doing when you come to Heicheng?" The accountant asked casually.

"We are just being".

"Slap you, we are here to practice Buddhism." The head of the army slapped Niu Er on the head, making him dizzy, and quickly said to the accountant.

But who is the accountant? His job every day is to face all kinds of people, but he is a businessman and does not want to cause trouble, so he followed the pen to write: Come to Heicheng to practice Buddhism.

The head of the company was already scared by Niu Er and had several cold sweats. He didn't know why he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and gave himself the name Zhang San, but he didn't know that his name was opened. The accountant could think of it with his fingers. Seeing Zhang San being proud of it, the accountant of Fulai Restaurant didn't want to ask more questions, and registered it according to his wishes.

Zhang San and Niu Er had just been led to the backyard by the waiter, and three more men came in from the Fulai Restaurant. At present, one person could not be considered a man, but just a young man. He was born with a face like a jade, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked around. A arrogant look gradually became a sign of arrogance, which made people feel scared. The two people next to him were about fifty years old, tall and mighty, and on the right was a man about thirty years old. It seemed plain, but as long as he looked at him, he could find that his eyes flashed from time to time.

These three are Han Zhongwei, Li Xiongba and Ding Chuan. Li Xiongba was the chief of the thief and thief department because Li Tian joined the Public Security Bureau and Ding Chuan gave him the captain of the Heicheng Prefectural Office as his deputy, which made him feel relieved. Now, in addition to assisting the census in the bureau every night, Li Tian has gradually become familiar with his work. Seeing that Ai'er has completely integrated into the Public Security Bureau, Li Xiongba is the happiest person. So as soon as Han Zhongwei summoned, Li Xiongba immediately agreed to temporarily serve as the commander of the Marquis's guards. Han Zhongwei left behind his martial arts for half a year, and because of his arrival, he began to make rapid progress again.

This is the second time that Li Xiongba has taught Han Zhongwei's martial arts. The first time was in Yingzhou. He was forced to do so. Not only did he, but Wu Tian was also extorted by Han Zhongwei to have a unique skill. This time, Li Xiongba's request for Han Zhongwei was allocated and given all his gifts.

If Li Xiongba originally only regarded Han Zhongwei as an opponent of the same level as him, then he should look up to Han Zhongwei now. Moreover, with the rapid construction of the Black City, his status with Han Zhongwei will only get farther and farther apart. For Li Xiongba, now as long as his son Li Tian has a future, he will be worthy of the ancestors of the Li family. However, Li Tian's future is linked to Han Zhongwei, and Li Xiongba still sees this very clearly.

After getting along with Han Zhongwei in the past few days, although the other party's martial arts did not improve much, Li Xiongba still felt that Zhong Wei's change was "the two Xiongxiao did not dare to challenge Lin'an, and he knew about Gan Fu Zhongwei's crying with Zhongwei and the moon.

Zhong Wei is not old, but in Li Xiongba's opinion, he is much better than Li Tian's behavior, and even more than himself. He also knows that with Zhong Wei's identity as a marquis, martial arts are not very important to him, at most it is an interest. As long as Zhong Wei wants to learn, he will be unreserved.

As for Ding Chuan besides admiring Zhong Wei, he could not think of any words that could express his feelings. The people of Heicheng were originally panicked, and the whole Heicheng seemed dead, but Zhong Wei just drew a picture and decided on two things. The people of the whole city were mobilized by him. Now anyone can think that the number of people in Heicheng will only increase in the future, and it is not difficult to surpass the original population.

Han Zhongwei still attaches great importance to the affairs of the Public Security Bureau. Now the most important city defense is connected with Dingguang Buddha and does not need to worry too much. For example, the tofu project that may appear in later generations is even more unlikely to appear in his hands. Every day, Ma Wanli would report to him the progress of the project, so Han Zhongwei thought he could be a hand-off manager.

Once the Buddha is well built and the city wall is well built, the task of the Public Security Bureau will be very arduous. Now he has only a few hundred guards. Although most of the people in Yingzhou Heifeng Village come to Heicheng, that would be more than a thousand. For a mountain pass, a thousand people are considered a big pass, but obviously not enough for Heicheng. If it were three shifts, the personnel on duty at the same time would only be more than three hundred, and they could not even stop an attack from an army.

Now the city defense is building according to its own wishes, which makes Han Zhongwei feel a little at ease, but the next is Ding Chuan's performance time. Black City requires not only a large number of foreign populations, but also a stable internal environment. If it is infiltrated into Black City by enemy forces or even a small group of people, this threat to him will be fatal.

"Do you three stay in a hotel or a top-notch?" Seeing them come in, a smart waiter immediately went to greet him.

"Drinking, is there any empty space upstairs?" Ding Chuan stepped forward and blocked the waiter's face.

"There are still spaces, but the fairyland is full. If you don't want to be disturbed, you can use a screen to place them out one by one." The waiter is very obedient and knows that these people don't live in the hotel.

"Just sit upstairs, there is no need to be separated." Han Zhongwei said in a deep voice from behind.

"Please ask for a few upstairs." The waiter threw the towel on his arm on his shoulder, stretched out his right hand, and led the three of them upstairs.

Today, the business of Fulai Restaurant was much better than when they came last time. There were 80% of the guests on the second floor, and the seats next to the window were occupied by others. Han Zhongwei didn't care, so he found a table in the middle and sat down. Ding Chuan casually ordered a few signature dishes from Fulai Restaurant and ordered a pot of good wine.

Han Zhongwei sat down and glanced at him. At this moment, those who could sit on the second floor were basically not natives in Heicheng. Now the construction of the Buddha in Heicheng is in full swing. If the people of Heicheng dare to cheat and cheat, their backbone will be broken by others.

"Ding Chuan, these people's investigations are not easy." Han Zhongwei withdrew his gaze. If there were any detailed works in the Black City, most of them would be hidden among these people who came to Black City for a short time.

"Young Master, as long as you stay in a hotel, you will have detailed registration." Ding Chuan said softly. With a wave of his hand, a person appeared behind him. It was Lin Rufeng, the newly appointed head of the Municipal Dynamics Department. "You go and take the counter registration book to view it."

Lin Rufeng led several people to follow Han Zhongwei and others. At this moment, the director ordered him to go downstairs to the counter to reveal his identity and quickly took the registration book up.

People who looked at restaurants and inns have seen countless people. The eyes of these people are very poisonous, and ordinary people cannot escape their eyes. Just to avoid causing trouble, their registration is just normal. But when Han Zhongwei looked through the registration book, he still found a clue. "Look at this Zhang San, will Niu Er be a pseudonym?" Han Zhongwei pointed to the last two names of people who registered, and said that there is no photo technology these days, and such a registration system can be handled as long as it is not too stupid. However, the name, age and origin can be used for leave, but it is difficult to fake appearance characteristics. This information seems to be unimportant now, but once someone needs to be checked, these information will be very critical.

In fact, Han Zhongwei has seen too many people in later generations. Names like Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Er are really common these days. But Ding Chuan did not dare to refute Han Zhongwei's orders and called Lin Rufeng to ask him to send someone to stare at these two people.

"Hey, are these two from Zhongxing Mansion?" Han Zhongwei's eyes fell on the names Meng Qing and Dai Licheng again, and then scanned the registration date for them. It was the second day after he returned to Heicheng. In other words, he arrived at Heicheng and they arrived.

"I'll ask someone to check again." Ding Chuan didn't need Han Zhongwei to remind him again this time.

Ding Chuan disagreed with Han Zhongwei's sensitivity, just to prevent it. But after the identities of these people were exposed in the future, he was extremely convinced of Han Zhongwei. He was a figure in "Tao", but his vision was not a little different from that of the Marquis.

"All people who come from Zhongji Prefecture, Jin Kingdom, and Mongolia must focus on monitoring." Han Zhongwei pointed to the names of several people who came from Mongolia and said to Ding Chuan. Now the defense of Heicheng is empty, so people who are interested cannot take advantage of the situation to rob.
