"Xuanling, are you looking for Keming?”
Fang Xuanling smiled." It's nothing serious. Your Majesty, do you still remember Liu Xuan, the top scholar?”
"Liu Xuan?" Li Er stroked his beard." You mean that Liu Xuan who made mistakes repeatedly?" he asked. Zhen still has some impression of it."
Fang Xuanling quickly nodded." That's right, Your Majesty. It's Liu Xuan."”
"What happened to him? Wasn't he previously appointed as the magistrate of Longmen County? Did something happen?"
Li Er's interest was immediately piqued. Liu Xuan had a rather deep impression of him. He was talented in literature and was also the youngest top scholar. However, when he was questioned in front of the hall, Li Er was slightly disappointed.
Fang Xuanling immediately told him about Liu Xuan.
Cheng Yaojin glared at him and said in a rough voice,"Aiya, this kid still has some spirit. A small seventh-rank official actually didn't even give the Wang family a piece of money and directly raided the house and arrested them. Not bad, not bad.”
Li Er glanced at Cheng Yaojin." Be careful with your words!”
"Hehe, I, Old Cheng, was wrong!"
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head, grinned, and immediately admitted his mistake.
Li Er glared at him." What did you do wrong?”
Cheng Yaojin poked the bun on his head with his finger, then shook his head and said,"I don't know!"
"I don't know. You said you were wrong, you idiot!”
If someone else was scolded by Li Er, they would probably have apologized in fear and trepidation.
But Cheng Yaojin was different.
Instead, he stood there with a smile, as if he was not talking about him.
Li Er couldn't do anything about a scoundrel like Cheng Yaojin. He looked at Du Ruhui and asked,""Keming, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, since you have the intention to test him, let's see if the youngest scholar of the Great Tang can withstand the beating," Du Ruhui said with a smile.”
"Yes!" Li Er nodded. Then, he turned around and asked,"Right, the official document given to him by the Ministry of Works is to let him deal with the Fen River flood for three months. Since the Wang family has already set the question and he has agreed, we shouldn't interfere too much.”
"Here!"
......
Liu Xuan did not know that Li Er and the others had already found out about him. Of course, Li Er and the others did not know that he had embezzled a large amount of silver.
Three days passed in a flash!
Li Si and the others also had news.
Liu Xuan was designing the blueprint of the waterwheel when Li Si knocked on the door and entered.
"Sir, I have found the limestone you asked me to find.”
"Found it?"
Liu Xuan's arm shook, and a drop of ink dripped onto the white paper, slowly spreading out.
"Yes, sir. It's on a small hill in the southern suburbs.”
"Bring me there!"
Two hours later, Liu Xuan, Shangguan Wan 'er, Niu Debao, and the others appeared in the southern suburbs of Longmen County in casual clothes.
After walking for about two miles, Li Si and the others who were leading the way stopped.
"Milord, that hill in front is it.”
Hearing this, Liu Xuan looked up.
As expected, a hill that wasn't very tall stood there. The vegetation on it was dense and there were few people.
"The limestone is in this hill?”
"Yes, sir. We found a large area of limestone above.”
Niu Debao and the others said.
"Let's go up and take a look!"
Liu Xuan pulled Shangguan Wan 'er, Niu Debao, and Li Si up the mountain.
The hills were not very steep and were relatively flat. Liu Xuan was also quite satisfied. If the limestone mine was really here, it would be easier to mine it if it was flat.
After the time for an incense stick to burn!
When he arrived at the place where Niu Debao and the others were pointing at, Liu Xuan lowered his head and knocked on a stone to check.
As expected, there was a large area of limestone here. As long as it was mined and burned, lime cement would appear in large quantities.
Not only would the construction of the dams become faster, but the dilapidated city walls could also be repaired quickly.
Liu Xuan was very satisfied!
"By the way, where is the place where the kiln is built?”
Limestone mining and roasting could not be too far away. Otherwise, it would waste manpower and material resources, and transportation would be inconvenient.
When Li Si heard Liu Xuan's question, he quickly brought Liu Xuan to a flat place in the southeast of the hill." Sir, what do you think of this piece of land? This place was about two acres, and the ground was flat. It didn't take much effort to level it.”
Liu Xuan took a look. It was indeed so. The other places had more rocks and shrubs. Only this small two acres of land had almost no rocks or ancient trees. It was very suitable for building a kiln.
"Good! I'll leave the task of building the kiln and recruiting people to you. When the time comes, go to the accountant's office to ask for the money.”
"Here!"
Once the limestone was found, the cement would be ready.
After returning to the county office, Liu Xuan left and entered the study. He then quickly completed the blueprint of the waterwheel.
Niu Debao and the others were also very fast. With a wave of their hands, over a hundred people rushed over to build the kiln and mine.
In three to four days, a large earthen kiln appeared. Liu Xuan personally supervised the roasting of the limestone mined.
After several experiments, the white lime finally appeared in front of everyone.
Liu Xuan reached out and grabbed it. The slight burning sensation on his skin made him very excited.
"Good, great, this is indeed lime!”
The people in the group were puzzled by Liu Xuan's excitement. After all, they did not know what this lime was.
Lu Buwei: This white powder was lime? Is there any use?"
Qin Hui: " I don't know. It looks like the group leader might have hysteria."”
Wei Zhongxian: " I do know about this lime. It's something that prevents plague. Can this thing build dams?”
"Play with the mud!"
Wu Sangui,"The group leader's brain is broken."”
Ji Xiaolan was speechless.
The Group chats suddenly became lively. Liu Xuan took a look and saw that this group of people said that he was crazy.
Liu Xuan was speechless." That's enough. If you don't understand, then don't spout nonsense. When the time comes, I'll let you see the group leader's methods!”
Li Bai: " Alright, group leader, you haven't received your previous group mission reward yet. Hurry up and pull another person in. I don't want a traitor!" (*￣︿￣)”
The moment Li Bai appeared, he immediately attracted the firepower.
As expected, the group exploded again!
"Little scholar, don't force your Prime Minister to kill you!"”
Wei Zhongxian said,"I'll let you clean your body!"”
"You're courting death!"
Liu Xuan saw that this was not good. If this continued, they would probably quarrel again, so he quickly clicked on the ban on all comments.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. This group wants to receive the group reward.”
"Ding-dong. Do you wish to receive the mission reward?”
"Receive it!"
"Ding, collection successful!"
Liu Xuan had not heard the system's voice for a long time. Now, he felt very familiar.
The original group members were: 8/8
But now it had become: 8/9
Not only that, but there was also a golden red packet hanging there.
