Li Xingzhou wore a straw raincoat, followed by Yue'er, Guan Zhong, Zhurong and Tie Niu.

This is on the northwest side of the Wangfu Industrial Zone, where a large amount of glass is burned here. Yue'er was the first to learn how to burn glass with Princess Kang. Now she is a senior technician.

The rows of small furnaces in the distance were originally made of glass, but at this time the furnace was almost completely shut down.

"Your Majesty, the graphite mine inventory has been exhausted. The way to go to Beijing is completely unsuccessful. There are still transactions with the Jin Kingdom's private countries, but the graphite mine cannot be obtained."

Li Xingzhou looked at the gradually desolate area and nodded: "It's not your fault. The current situation between the two countries will definitely not be able to make a large-scale transaction."

Given the current situation of the two countries, it is impossible for the Jin Dynasty to ship them in batches. Jing State will not give whatever it needs, and copper and iron are even more restricted.

The transaction gradually shifted from private smuggling, and graphite was cut off by the Jin Kingdom.

The only known graphite mine at present is Shangjing, the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom has also begun to ban exports to them. Although the Jin people did not understand the use of graphite mines, they were not stupid. It would definitely be of great use to buy a large amount of money from the royal palace to travel thousands of miles to buy.

Their judgment was very correct, and it was indeed stuck in the neck of the royal palace. Without graphite, steel forging and glass manufacturing could not be carried out.

The steel is fine, and the royal palace has sufficient inventory, which is enough to support the new army's dress replacement, but there is no inventory of glass, and most of the main glassware is used for huge profits.

"Don't sell the remaining original glass pieces. Please fill in the amount of the telescope first." Li Xingcheon said.

Zhurong and others nodded.

Telescopes have very important tactical significance. Simply put, it is important to know in advance that the other party’s deployment is in the era of cold weapons and hot weapons, but it is becoming more and more important in the era of cold weapons where formation is more important.

The function of the telescope is self-evident.

Li Xingzhou initially thought that even officers above the level were equipped with one, but later he found that it was impossible to do it because there was no shortcut to the lenses of the telescope, so he could only use hand-made fine polishing.

This job is not easy to do. He needs to draw the drawings and teach Yue'er. Yue'er will continue to teach it, so that the female workers can learn and polish it slowly.

To this day, there are only five or six telescopes that can meet the standards.

However, these five or six mates also shocked Di Zhi and others. In Di Zhi's words, this round barrel was easier to use than a series of scouts.

So the remaining glass cannot be sold. He took Yue'er's little hand and said, "Let the female workers polish it well, but they can't be careless. This thing is useless if it's a little careless, and it's all ruined. Try to make it possible for all the officers above the battalion level before next sixth."

"Yes!" Yue'er agreed with a serious face, and Li Xingzhou smiled: "But don't be so anxious. Don't be like an imperial edict as soon as I speak. It will still be there in June next year."

This is how Yue'er is. His obedience to him is always unconditional. Every time he explains something, he will follow him like an imperial edict and will not give up until he does it.

"If you have time, go out to have fun, and it's okay to rest." Li Xingzhou rubbed her little head with some pain. What a young girl, she was so busy.

"Graphite...graphite..." Li Xingzhou thought silently.

.........

The days that followed calmed down again, and Ajiao and Shiyu became pregnant and became the most precious person in the royal palace. Li Xingzhou had to run to He Qian's small building often.

Qiu'er and Yue'er moved to the new yard, and Li Xingzhou would sometimes run to their place.

Wei Yubai has been very unnatural to him since he came back from the north. Li Xingzhou knew the reason because he wrote to Wei Chaoren and said he wanted to marry her.

As for Yelu Yali, Li Xingzhou asked He Qian to communicate with her more, teach her more Chinese language and write Chinese characters. Yelu Dashi also understood what he meant and began to be willing to discuss matters with them in the royal palace, and he knew everything about the situation in the north.

Time flies quickly, October unknowingly comes, and the sky becomes cold and gray, making people unable to get out of bed.

The machines in the royal palace did not stop, nor did the workers. The navy's cannons continued to be published, and the army had also begun to be published in the second division.

Everything was in order, and from time to time he would call people from his side to the royal palace to discuss some issues.

.........

Early in the morning, Li Xingzhou reluctantly came out of He Qian Nuan's quilt and left the smooth and warm jade. He Qian just snorted and continued to fall asleep.

He smiled and touched her butt, then put on his clothes, and the girls were already waiting to take care of her washing.

After washing up, he brought some breakfast food. Li Xingzhou ate some, left the main hall, and visited Shiyu and Ajiao.

Two pregnant people temporarily live in the same compound, so it is easy to take care of, and they can speak in common.

After seeing the two precious wives, Gillian still obeyed everything, and Shiyu was still so independent. Even if she was pregnant, she had to do some things by herself.

He was about to spend a while with the two of them, but the outsider said that Yan Gu brought back the new situation in Xia Kingdom.

"Go quickly, don't delay things." Shiyu urged, and Gillian nodded.

Li Xingzhou immediately left for the main hall. Yan Gu was waiting there, but he didn't sit down. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly said, "Prince, big news, there is a huge news over Xia Country."

Seeing his reaction, Li Xingzhou also curiously said, "What news?" and sat down.

"The victory and loss of the civil war in Xia Dynasty were decided. At around 16 or 7 in the middle of last month, Li Jijun counterattacked south and crossed the river and defeated Zhang Jie's army in Xiping Prefecture!"

Li Xingzhou stood up and was a little incredible: "Cross the river to fight?"

Yan Gu nodded: "Yes, I heard that Li Ji had a royal uncle who was an amazing person and was very capable of fighting. He ordered people to make a forced crossing to the south, tricking Zhang Jie to go to the defense, and personally put on the battle and led the elite troops to suddenly cross the pontoon bridge in the Xiping Prefecture area, and crossed the river in one night.

When Zhang Jie realized that it was too late, his troops were transferred south, and Xiping Prefecture was empty, and the royal army had just crossed the river, and the Xiping Prefecture defenders surrendered that night."

"Where is that Zhang Jie?" he asked hurriedly.

"Zhang Jie led the remaining soldiers to continue along the river and wanted to run to Huizhou. On the way, he was caught up by the royal army of Xia Kingdom. He heard that he died miserably, and his body was removed from all over the country. It was said that the civil turmoil in Xia would be quelled soon." Yan Gu said.

"Is the news from the Privy Council or the Royal Intelligence Bureau?" Li Xingzhou asked.

"From the Royal Palace Intelligence Bureau." Yan Gu agreed truthfully.

He nodded: "The Xia royal family who led the troops this time is a character..." Li Xingzhou thought that according to the situation at that time, it would be possible to confront each other for half a year. In ancient times, the battle between the river was not so easy, and the Yellow River was particularly crossing.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin suddenly came out and hit him like this...

"Prince, there is no specific information about this person in the information yet. I will ask them to inquire more next time." Yan Gu bowed.

Li Xingzhou nodded. It seemed that the world was really in a storm. Xia Guo, who thought he had exhausted his energy, unexpectedly suddenly appeared.

But thinking about it, the Xia royal family was very talented in the early and late stages of history, but they were weak and incompetent in the middle stage.

Now that Temujin has quickly unified the Mongolian tribes, it is not surprising that the talents in Xia State are.

But Li Xingzhou can't remember it.

But those are too far away. At the moment, he only has graphite in his eyes, Jin Kingdom!
Chapter completed!
