Soon, some people couldn't help but surround Wang Lizhu and ask him about the waterwheel.

Wang Lizhu explained one by one," This was all designed by Lord Liu. When the time comes, everyone in the Dragon Sect will use this waterwheel. Then, everyone won't have to go through the trouble of fetching water personally.”

When they heard that the county magistrate had personally designed it for them, they ran to Liu Xuan excitedly and shouted.

"Milord, can you get this waterwheel for us commoners?”

"Sir, can we tenants use them?”

"Sir…"

Liu Xuan smiled and said," Don't worry. This waterwheel is a farming tool. Naturally, it's designed for the common people. When the time comes, all the tenants in Longmen County can use it."”

In an instant, the people were in an uproar!

Liu Xuan rewarded Wang Lizhu with ten taels of silver on the spot to encourage him.

"Thank you, my lord!"

The waterwheel experiment was successful. Liu Xuan had people temporarily dismantle the waterwheel and then began to mass produce it according to this model.

"Make as many as possible as soon as possible. When the time comes, every house will be able to use it!”

"Don't worry, Milord."

Wang Lizhu also followed Liu Xuan and the others back.

However, on the way, Liu Xuan called out to him," Old Mr. Wang, I just had another idea. I thought of it in the fields. Wait for me to go back first. I'll draw a blueprint for you and see if you can make it."”

Upon hearing that Liu Xuan had a new idea, Wang Lizhu hurriedly nodded.

"This old man will follow your orders!"

......

After returning to the government office, Liu Xuan went straight to the study room. Then, he spread Xuan paper on the table and used the wonderful brush painting skill.

Splashing ink, the brush moved like a dragon and snake!

In less than ten minutes, Liu Xuan had drawn the structure of the Quyuan Plow.

Wang Lizhu had been standing at the side the whole time. He had not left since Liu Xuan started writing. When Liu Xuan finally stopped writing, Wang Lizhu immediately went up and picked up the blueprint to look at it carefully.

After reading the blueprint, the little old man was shocked." Sir, how did you come up with such an exquisite curved shaft plow? Once this curved shaft plow is made, not only will it save effort, but it will also save time. In the past, it would take one mu of land to plow, but it can probably be cultivated for several mu!”

Liu Xuan put down his brush and took a sip of tea. He asked,""Do you think you can make it?”

"Yes, of course, it can be done in less than two days!”

"Then in two days, this official will go and get it!”

Then, Liu Xuan explained some key points on the blueprint to him and instructed Li Si to send him back.

Liu Xuan smiled and shook his head as he looked at the excited back of the little old man before he left.

......

Time passed quietly like sand between his fingers!

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and the time given by the Ministry of Works was up.

However, the flood in Longmen County had been completely resolved by Liu Xuan.

The dams on both sides of the Fen River were a full ten feet higher than the water level, and they were all poured with cement. They were much smoother and stronger than before.

Not only that, almost every family had a waterwheel in their fields. Moreover, every family no longer used a straight plow. Instead, they used a curved plow.

Originally, it would take an ox the time to plow a road, but now, with the curved shaft plow, he could plow five!

Moreover, it did not necessarily have to be a cow.

Because of this, Liu Xuan's reputation in Longmen County had reached an unprecedented height. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the true father and mother of the people.

Usually, as long as Liu Xuan walked on the street, he would basically give a few vegetables, a piece of meat, or a basket of eggs. He had to take them.

Sometimes, Liu Xuan was afraid of being recognized, so he hid.

This made Shangguan Wan 'er giggle." Young Master, the people respect you. Why are you still hiding?”

Hearing Shangguan Wan 'er's words, Liu Xuan rolled his eyes." I know they respect me, but look, every time I go out, people give me a lot of things. I can't even carry them. I reckon that in the future, when we're so poor that we don't have money to eat, we'll have everything just by walking around on the streets."”

He had only gone out for two streets today, but he had been given seven chickens, three ducks, more than ten vegetables, and two rabbits. If he had not quickly stopped thinking and returned home, he would have received a lot more.

Shangguan Wan 'er covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched Liu Xuan throw away the dishes and return to the study while rubbing his sore shoulders." Young Master, I'll go make you a pot of tea."”

Soon, Shangguan Wan 'er came in with a pot of Longjing tea. After pouring a cup for Liu Xuan, she saw that Liu Xuan was still massaging his shoulders.

"Young Master, let me massage it for you!”

As she spoke, she came behind Liu Xuan and began to massage Liu Xuan's shoulders with her soft and boneless hands.

Smelling the faint fragrance on Shangguan Wan 'er's body, Liu Xuan drank the Longjing tea before the rain. Liu Xuan narrowed his eyes in comfort.

This kind of life was really wonderful!

After a while, Liu Xuan asked," By the way, how much money have we spent in the past three months?"”

When Shangguan Wan 'er heard Liu Xuan ask about the accounts, she immediately got up and went to get the account book.

After flipping through two pages, Shangguan Wan 'er said,""The construction of the Fen River's dam, the provision of food and wages, cost about three hundred strings of strings. The mass production of the waterwheel also cost another two hundred strings of strings. However, Young Master Qu Yuanli, you used the method of renting, so not only did you not spend much, you earned a thousand strings of strings instead.”

Liu Xuan was stunned.

There was no need for Qu Yuanli to be given to every family. At that time, he had directly made some and placed them there. Whoever used them could rent them for a few days for a few coins.

In the end, he did not expect to earn a lot of money. Not only did he earn back what he had spent previously, but he also had a surplus.

Shangguan Wan 'er looked at Liu Xuan with a hint of admiration. Her young master was really amazing. The cement, waterwheel, and curved plow were all made by her young master!

Moreover, he had spent so much money previously. He did not expect to earn money in the end. His young master was indeed the smartest!

Liu Xuan thought for a moment and said," Since we've earned some, we should take it out and recruit some people to repair the city. Of course, we can't use cement."”

"Why?"

The cement was easy to use and saved time and effort. Most importantly, it was sturdy!

Why didn't the young master use the city wall?

Liu Xuan smiled and explained," This cement can be used for 80 to 90 years, but it won't be able to last for 100 years. Therefore, we have to use primitive methods to ensure the sturdiness of the city wall."”

Shangguan Wan 'er nodded and immediately went out to find someone to make arrangements.

The people from the Ministry of Works would probably arrive soon. He wondered if they were from the Wang family.

Liu Xuan was looking forward to it. He believed that the two letters he had sent earlier would attract the attention of the big shots in the court.

If the Wang family wanted to touch him, it would not be so easy!

......

The Ministry of Works yamen!

A few officials who were related to the Wang family gathered together. Although these people were also green-robed, they were indeed sixth-rank officials.

He was two levels higher than Liu Xuan!

The reason why they had gathered together was naturally because of Liu Xuan.

The three-month deadline given to Liu Xuan was up. They planned to go to the Dragon Gate to check it out personally.
