"Sir, this lowly one knows my sins. Please show mercy…"
"He rampaged through the village and seized other people's property. He's no worse than Fang Lin and Wang Youcai. Men, take him away and lock him up in prison!”
Liu Xuan couldn't be bothered to look at him anymore. He directly asked him to sign and sign before dragging him away.
The complaint box made the people of Dragon Sect feel the real effect. For the next few days, people kept stuffing complaint papers into it.
Liu Xuan did not reject anyone. After finding out the situation, he immediately took them down.
In just a few days, the Dragon Gate was much clearer than before. The people secretly spread the word that Liu Xuan was a good official, a great master sent by the imperial court to save them.
Of course, the successive raids on those aristocrats also made Liu Xuan's foundation rich.
......
Knock, knock!
Late at night, Liu Xuan was writing in the study when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Shangguan Wan 'er came in with a bowl of lotus seed soup." Young Master, it's already the third watch. Take a rest!"”
Liu Xuan had just finished writing the last few words. Then, he stopped writing and stretched.
"Yes, I'm sorting out some methods to control the river bank. I've already handed the flood situation of the Fen River to Li Si to record. It's been almost half a month, and there should be results.”
Looking at the stack of paper in front of Liu Xuan, Shangguan Wan 'er could not help but take a few pieces of paper and read them.。
Liu Xuan drank the lotus seed soup, but he did not stop her. Shangguan Wan 'er was quite smart, so she could help him take a look.
Shangguan Wan 'er only looked at it for a moment before a trace of surprise appeared on her pretty face.
Liu Xuan's method of governance had completely overturned her idea of how to govern the riverbank. Moreover, it was reasonable and well-founded, making her unable to help but praise it in her heart.
"Young Master, what are the waterwheel and cement you mentioned?”
Seeing Shangguan Wan 'er blinking her big eyes and her face full of curiosity, Liu Xuan smiled and explained.
"This waterwheel was originally called a crown carriage. Actually, it was recorded in the Zhuangzi that the earliest water-drawing tool used by the people should be the 'orange pike'. Zhuangzi. External chapter. In the Heaven and Earth Chapter, Zi Gong traveled south. On the way back, he passed by Hanyin and saw an old man carrying a urn to irrigate the water. He took twice the effort and did half the work. He told the old man a kind of energy-saving device called "Bi."”
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Spirit Emperor ordered Bi Lan to make a dump truck. This dump truck is also a waterwheel. However, with a little improvement, I adjusted this dump truck even more to save energy and increase the irrigation area.”
"As for this cement, it's actually lime that's made from limestone. Then, it's mixed with sand, stones, and other things with water. They can quickly condense into a large piece, and they're abnormally strong. I plan to use it to build a dam. This way, not only will it save time, but it'll also be strong.”
Shangguan Wan 'er nodded her head in a half-understanding manner." Young Master, you really know a lot.”
Liu Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly. He did not know much. The people of the future would probably know, but it was not easy to explain to Shangguan Wan 'er.
The next day, Li Si came to Liu Xuan with the records of the Fen River for the past half a month.
"My lord, I have recorded everything you said.”
"Yes!"
Liu Xuan took the book that recorded the water flow and began to read it.
The water level of the Fen River did not change much during the day. Only in the morning and evening did the water level rise by half a foot to one foot.
On rainy days, the water level of the Fen River also rose quite a bit, but the highest was only two and a half feet.
At this moment, Liu Xuan had an idea. The dam had to be at least one meter higher than before to prevent the Fen River from bursting and flooding the fields on both sides.
"Li Si, I'll give you another mission. This is the characteristic of limestone. Search the outskirts of Longmen and see if you can find this kind of stone mine.”
As he spoke, Liu Xuan handed Li Si a piece of paper. He had written this beforehand.
Li Si was literate. He took it and nodded after taking a look." Don't worry, Sir. I will definitely find this stone mine!”
Limestone mines were easy to find, so Liu Xuan was not worried.
However, when Liu Xuan sent people to search for the stone mine, Fang Xuanling of the Ministry of Central Affairs noticed the unusual movements of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Works.
The imperial court was short of money, but some time ago, the Ministry of Justice was suddenly sent 30,000 taels of silver, and two official documents were sent to the Dragon Sect.
A name suddenly appeared in Fang Xuanling's mind. It was Liu Xuan!
Liu Xuan was the top scorer in high school at that time. He was very talented and admired him. Otherwise, he would not have protected Liu Xuan in front of Li Er.
Longmen County belonged to the Hedong Road and was the territory of the Wang Clan. Now, the Wang Clan in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Works had made a move. Fang Xuanling had a feeling that Liu Xuan must have provoked the Wang Clan.
He immediately went to find his gatekeeper.
"Go and investigate what Longmen County's magistrate, Liu Xuan, has been doing recently!”
"Here!"
In less than half a day, the official documents of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Justice were placed in front of him. Moreover, the recent things that Liu Xuan had done were also recorded in detail on a piece of paper.
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but stroke his goatee after reading it.
"This Liu Xuan was still stumbling in the main hall that day, looking submissive. I didn't expect that his ability to do things was somewhat decisive and his methods were quite experienced. This contrast is extremely great. It seems that this kid also understands the painstaking efforts of His Majesty and me.”
After muttering to himself, Fang Xuanling took his things and went out to look for Du Ruhui.
The relationship between the two had always been very good. Moreover, they were Li Er's right-hand men. If there was anything, the two of them would discuss it.
However, when Fang Xuanling went to Du Ruhui's residence, the butler of the Du residence told him that their master had gone to the polo field and was called over by Li Er.
Li Er was free today, so he did not approve the memorials in the Dew Hall. Instead, he brought them to the polo field. Chai Shao, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong were also with him. Du Ruhui was also called later.
......
The polo field!
"Your Majesty, do you think that kid can ride a horse?”Cheng Yaojin said to Li Er.
Li Er narrowed his eyes and then shook his head." Zhijie, how did you know that his horsemanship is good? This kid is obviously being squeezed.”
"I, Old Cheng, do not think so…"
At this moment, a guard ran over and reported to Li Erbing,""Your Majesty, Lord Fang Xuanling of the Left Pushe is here.”
"Quickly announce it!" Li Er waved his hand.
Soon, Fang Xuanling was brought over.
"Your Majesty!"
"Minister Fang is rarely free. I wanted to call you earlier.”Li Er said to Fang Xuanling with a smile.
Fang Xuanling smiled and said," My wife has always been worried about my health, so she insisted that I take a rest today. It just so happens that there's nothing important in the yamen, so I wanted to look for Keming. In the end, I heard that Keming was here, so I came here."”
"Haha, you can't change your henpecked habit!”Li Er laughed.
