Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a gasp.

As Gao Shilian said, the water wheel slowly turns in circles by itself, and the water in the bucket tilts in the middle of the field ridges and flows slowly in all directions.

Everyone is an important minister of the court, and they are used to thinking about the overall situation in everything.

Most of the farmland in Datang is barren, with much drought and little rain, and it needs to be irrigated almost every day.

Although there are waterwheels everywhere, farmers can't be allowed to stay on the waterwheel all day long, right?

Many crops died of drought due to untimely irrigation!

Gao Shilian's words immediately made them see the value of this 'new waterwheel'!

This 'new waterwheel' can run on its own, and can irrigate the farmland day and night. Moreover, the manpower saved can also be used to cultivate new farmland!

In this way, Datang's grain output will at least increase several times!

Seeing that they were all focusing on the water tanker, Dai Zhou became anxious. If he still couldn't get the Cui family's criminal evidence, he might really resign and return to his hometown!

"Everyone, sir"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Xuanling waved his hand directly, "Don't make noise!"

Seeing the 'artifact', how could he care about Dai Zhou?

Du Ruhui put his hands on his forehead, blocking the sunlight, looked into the distance, and said: "Five waterwheels are enough to irrigate nearly a hundred acres of farmland, and they can be called the powerful weapons of the dynasty!"

Dai Zhou was full of grievances, but he dared not speak.

Those present are all for the words of the court?

"Since this item is in Liujiazhuangzi, it should be made by Liu Bai. Let's ask Liu Bai first. If the cost of this item is too high, some places may not be able to afford it."

Fang Xuanling's words can be regarded as saving Dai Zhou.

"I'm going to look for Liu Bai now!"

Fang Xuanling stopped him without waiting for him to move.

"Xuanyin, you are a clean and honest official, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but you are too bad at being a man"

After speaking, he took a few big brothers and walked down the bridge.

Today Liu Bai is not under the bridge, but beside another river two miles away.

Liu Bai, who was instructing the farmer, suddenly felt someone stabbing him behind him.

Turning his head, he found that Cheng Chumo was pointing in the distance.

"Brother Liu, here comes the beggar!"

After seeing who was coming, Liu Bai was immediately happy.

"It's time to come!"

I saw that Fang Xuanling and several old men were walking towards them with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and behind him was the dejected Dai Zhou.

"Young Master Liu, I don't think it's surprising that the old man came here uninvited!"

Fang Xuanling was far away, and waved at Liu Bai.

Liu Bai also cupped his hands from a distance, and then asked Cheng Chumo: "Who are the others?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Ling, the general behind him, dropped his hoe, laughed a few times, and finally found a chance to be lazy.

"I know I know"

He moved to Liu Bai's side, snapped his fingers and said, "There is a right servant who shoots Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian who serves under the door, Grand Tutor Xiao Yu, secretary and young supervisor Yu Shinan"

After speaking, he was startled.

"The bosses from the three provinces are here!"

Liu Bai nodded and went to meet him.

"I have seen you, my lords!"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Mr. Liu seems to be a little thinner, it seems that he has worked hard!"

Liu Bai looked meaningfully at Dai Zhou, who was walking at the back, with his head down all the time, and said with a smile, "Don't bother me to miss you!"

After Liu Bai and the others greeted each other one by one, Fang Xuanling couldn't wait to walk to the newly erected 'waterwheel', and gently patted the huge rotating shaft.

"The old man and the others were still discussing just now. This thing is like a waterwheel, but it can run with the flow of water without stepping on the pedals. Such a fantastic idea must be made by Mr. Liu?"

"This thing is called a bobbin cart, and it was built by Liu according to the waterwheel. Just as Mr. Fang said, the bobbin cart does not require manpower, and it can irrigate the farmland day and night!"

Fang Xuanling suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked, "How much money do you need to build such a bobbin cart?"

"It should be about the same amount of money. Liu's family has already set up a special workshop, and it will be ready for mass production in a few days."

Actually, Liu Bai didn't know exactly how much money he spent.

The barrel-making carts are made of iron wood and bamboo. These days, no one forbids logging, and there are everywhere in the mountains and plains of Guanzhong.

Talking about the cost of usual money, Liu Bai even raised the price more than ten times.

He originally wanted to promote the bobbin car to the whole country, and Fang Xuanling and others came, which was exactly what he wanted.

Fang Xuanling slapped his hands and said excitedly: "Okay!"

"The old man is asking His Majesty to spend a huge amount of money to buy the bobbin cart from Mr. Liu. My colleagues, quickly follow the old man into the palace!"

He bowed his hands to Liu Bai, and walked away.

Du Ruhui and others also hurriedly followed, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people, so there is no delay!

"Fang Xiang, Du Xiang!"

Dai Zhou panicked immediately, he came to Liu Bai to ask for evidence against the Cui family, why did Fang Xuanling and the others forget about him in the blink of an eye?

Hearing Dai Zhou's words, Fang Xuanling and the others stopped and looked at each other.

Only then did I remember the purpose of my group's visit.

"Everyone, I, this"

Dai Zhou was about to cry.

Fang Xuanling smiled embarrassingly, and walked back again, "The old man was so happy in his heart, he lost his composure for a while, haha"

He bowed his hands to Liu Bai again, and said: "Young Master Liu, the old man is here to intercede for Dai Zhou."

Chapter 43: This time, it's a big blow

While speaking, Fang Xuanling kept looking at Dai Zhou.

Before Dai Zhou could speak, his face flushed red.

I already let go yesterday, saying that Liu Bai was going to be impeached, but today I rushed to apologize again, and in front of so many people

He hesitated for a long time, seeing that Fang Xuanling wanted to kick his ass hard.

"Young Master Liu, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday."

"What happened yesterday?"

Liu Bai asked with great interest.

Dai Zhou blushed even more, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and get in.

"Yesterday, it was Dai who was rude and bumped into Mr. Liu. Please forgive Mr. Liu."

Fang Xuanling laughed, and said: "Xuanyin has an upright temper and is not good at dealing with people. For the sake of this old man, Mr. Liu will forgive him this time!"

Du Ruhui and others also responded one after another.

"Xuan Yin has always been like this, Mr. Liu doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him!"

"What Fang Xiang said is, for the sake of us old fellows, Mr. Liu, don't make things difficult for Xuanyin anymore!"

Liu Bai patted the dirt on his hands, took out a booklet and said: "Liu Mou didn't want to have any grudges with others, for the sake of your lords, let's let this matter go!"

Dai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to reach for the booklet in Liu Bai's hand.

Liu Bai withdrew his hand back.

"This"

Dai Zhou was dumbfounded, "Didn't Mr. Liu forgive Dai?"

Liu Bai rolled his eyes.

"One yard is one yard. I said I forgive you, but I didn't say that I will give you the Cui family's evidence for nothing!"

Dai Zhou swallowed a mouthful of old blood and almost couldn't hold back.

"Why is Mr. Liu willing to hand it over to me?"

Liu Bai put his hands behind his back and said nothing.

Dai Zhou looked at Fang Xuanling and the others for help, but Fang Xuanling and the others looked up at the sky almost at the same time.

"The weather is nice today!"

"After entering the palace to report to the emperor, how about we travel together?"

"Very good, very good!"

They came here just to ask for forgiveness for Dai Zhou, just like what Liu Bai said, one yard counts for one yard, and they worked so hard to collect crimes, why should I hand them over to you?

Dai Zhou covered his heart and said, "Young Master Liu, although Dai has been an official for many years, his family is poor and he can't afford much money!"

Liu Bai glanced at him speechlessly, but still didn't speak.

Although the Liu family is not considered a top gentry, it is also one of the best merchants in the Guanzhong area.

Can you still like Dai Zhou's three melons and two dates?

Dai Zhou felt that he was about to die, and his breath became short of breath.

He is in charge of the Xing Prison in the world, and he has always judged others, but now there is a feeling that he is kneeling in the hall, waiting for Liu Bai to judge.

In fact, the situation is similar, if Liu Bai refuses to hand over the Cui family's criminal evidence to him, he, Dali Temple Minister, will be the end of the game.

"Young Master Liu, if you just ask, Dai will agree no matter what!"

Liu Bai rolled up the booklet, patted it on the palm of his hand a few times, and said slowly, "I heard that Zhan Ziqian's "Outing in Spring" is in Mr. Dai's hands."

Dai Zhou felt a 'thump' in his heart, only feeling a buzzing in his head, which was blank.

"Outing in Spring", known as the ancestor of Tang painting, opened a precedent for a generation. It is the only famous work handed down by Zhan Ziqian, a great painter of the Sui Dynasty.

Dai Zhou is old-fashioned by nature, and his only hobby is to appreciate paintings.

He regards "Outing in Spring" as his favorite, and has long made up his mind to pass it on as a family heirloom.

"Master Dai is not willing? That's all, Dang Liu didn't say anything."

Liu Bai made a gesture to put away the booklet.

"Wait, wait a minute"

Dai Zhou shouted.

"It's easy to say, everything is easy to say, isn't it just a painting, after I go back, I will send someone to send "You Chun Tu" to your residence."

After speaking, Dai Zhou felt his heart was bleeding.

It's as if my wife has been taken away by someone, but no matter how precious "You Chun Tu" is, how can it compare to my official position?

Liu Bai nodded in satisfaction, "Liu is a businessman, and he pays for the money and delivers the goods. When the "Picture of Outing in Spring" arrives, Liu will naturally hand over the Cui family's criminal evidence to Mr. Dai."

Dai Zhou nodded in despair, cupped his hands to Liu Bai, and walked step by step in the direction he came from.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Fang Xuanling and the others also left one after another.

Watching the group go away, Liu Bai was in a good mood.

This time, the bamboo stick was really big!

In fact, as early as the first time the Cui family dealt with him, he had already ordered Xu Chu to start collecting evidence of the Cui family's crimes. Afterwards, he listed the crimes and sent them to Li Er, making him want to deal with these for a long time. Li Er, a wealthy family, had the excitement of rain after a long drought.

However, although Liu Bai handed over the charges, he didn't intend to hand over the evidence.

After all, this is a free gift!
