Soon, the three of them finally stood on the Fen River dam.
Looking at the surging water of the Fen River, the three of them began to size up the concrete dam of the Fen River.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Cheng Yaojin stomped hard on the cement twice, but not only did he not make a dent, he found that his feet were numb from the rebound.
"Eh? Was this cement? There really is something!"
Duan Lun didn't reply. He was curious.
In the letter Liu Xuan had written to him, he had said that the cement was simple to make, but it could solidify quickly. Moreover, it could be shaped and was very strong. It was a good material for construction.
Duan Lun had always been skeptical about this, but now she somewhat believed it, especially when she saw that the cement was flat.
Cheng Yaojin was even more curious about the cement that didn't have any reaction after he stomped on it a few times, so he decided to stomp harder.
Bang!
He stomped on the cement, but there was nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, his foot hurt quite a bit. Cheng Yaojin's rough face turned red.
Duan Lun and Yuchi Gong couldn't help but laugh.""Zhijie, how do you feel?"
Cheng Yaojin said with a face full of resentment," This thing feels no different from a big rock. It hurts!"”
" It seems like Liu Xuan didn't lie to me," Duan Lun said with a smile." Let's go and ask two more commoners."”
Having seen the waterwheel and the sturdy dam, Duan Lun wanted to know more about Liu Xuan.
However, they had only taken a few steps when they were attracted by the curved shaft plows in the hands of the commoners in the dry fields on the other side.
"Eh?"
Duan Lun was slightly stunned. He walked quickly and came to the front of the farmer who was plowing the land.
The woman was plowing the land when she saw a little old man running over. She was instantly shocked.
"Who are you? What are you doing?"
Duan Lun also felt that she had lost her composure. She quickly waved her hand and said,"I'm a merchant passing by. Don't misunderstand, I'm just interested in the plow in your hand.”
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, who were behind them, also caught up. The two of them laughed out loud when they saw Duan Lun's awkward appearance.
"Hahaha, Old Duan, your clumsy actions are too funny!”
Hearing Cheng Yaojin's teasing words, Duan Lun rolled his eyes and turned to the woman.""Um, can you lend us your plow?”
The woman looked at Duan Lun and the others and found that they were all wearing silk clothes. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people, so she did not pay much attention to them. She nodded and handed the Quyuan Li to Duan Lun.
Duan Lun hurriedly took it and carefully examined it.
"This, this…"
The more he sized her up, the more shocked and surprised he became.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong couldn't understand and mumbled,""Old Duan, what are you looking at? It's just a broken plow!"
Who knew that Cheng Yaojin's words were like poking Duan Lun's hornet's nest.
"What lousy plow?"
Duan Lun glared at Cheng Yaojin." Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Don't look at the plow just because it's curved! However, it directly saved many times the effort. It was like the effort you used to plow one mu of land could be used to plow several mu of land.”
Hearing Duan Lun's words, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong widened their eyes in disbelief." Are you serious?”
"Nonsense, when have I ever lied to you?”
The farmer's wife also took the opportunity to say," That's right. This curved shaft plow is much more energy-saving than before. It was designed by our county magistrate!"”
It was Liu Xuan again!
The three of them could not help but look at each other.
Duan Lun asked the woman,"This is called Quyuan Li?"”
"Yes, that's what our county magistrate calls it!”
"How is the Longmen County Token? I heard that he is a young scholar."
At the mention of Liu Xuan, the woman's interest was immediately piqued. She immediately smiled and said,"Our county magistrate is a good official that is rarely seen in a hundred years. Not only did he punish the tyrants, but he also helped us install the waterwheel for free. He has helped us a lot. How long has it been since someone repaired this dam? Only our county magistrate repaired it. Moreover, it's very strong…"
Duan Lun and the others asked the woman a few more questions before they left.
"Let's go to the county town!"
"Here!"
Soon, they entered Longmen County.
It was currently morning, and there were many pedestrians on the streets. There were many people coming and going, and there were many hawking sounds. It was extremely lively.
Cheng Yaojin looked around and couldn't help but say,""Why are there so many people here? Chang 'an West City is just so-so, right?"
During this period of time, many of the tyrants in Longmen County had been eliminated by Liu Xuan. Moreover, Liu Xuan's methods were very strict. He was arrested as soon as he encountered them. As a result, the public security in Longmen County was very good.
As a result, many merchants were willing to come over, and the people were willing to come out and do business.
The streets were packed with people, and even compared to the bustling Chang 'an West City, it was not much better.
"This Liu Xuan has given us another surprise. I really want to see him more and more.”
Duan Lun nodded and said," Duan Cheng, let's go find a restaurant to eat something. We'll go to the posthouse later."”
"Yes, Master."
Soon, they found a restaurant. Seeing that there were not many people in the lobby, Duan Cheng turned to Duan Lun and the others and said,"Master, we're here."
Hearing Duan Cheng's words, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong jumped down from the carriage impatiently, while Duan Lun was pushed to the back.
"Boors, two boors!"
Duan Lun cursed. He got off the carriage and glared at them.
Cheng Yaojin didn't care at all. He pulled Duan Lun into the restaurant with a smile." Old Duan, you have to drink a few more drinks with me later. We've been on the road, and I'm almost done talking."”
The three of them found a corner in the hall and sat down.
Duan Lun flung her sleeves and refused." You're just a big wine jar. Who dares to drink with you?" If you want to drink, go find Big Charcoal. I won't accompany you!”
Cheng Yaojin knew that Duan Lun was still angry, so he didn't want to provoke him anymore." Okay, okay, okay. I won't drink it!"”
At this moment, the waiter hurriedly ran over." Dear customers, what would you like to eat?”
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong glanced at Duan Lun and found that he had no intention of speaking, so they said in a rough voice,""Give me five catties of mutton, a jar of good wine, and two good dishes!”
"Alright, please wait a moment!"
The waiter responded and then quickly ran to the kitchen to give instructions.
In a short while, the food and wine were served.
The three of them were already hungry, so they started eating.
When they were eating, it was almost noon. The number of customers coming to the restaurant gradually increased.
At a table not far away from them, two local Dragon Sect merchants sat down.
"Aiya, big brother should be able to earn a lot of money this time, right?”One of the younger ones asked.
