Chen Sheng always thought that Liu Kan was a good hand at fighting, but he never wanted to fiddle with other things and had a talent that others envied, he sighed and took the bamboo slip to look left and right, and couldn't help but praise Liu Kan and said: "Brother Xian is simply a tiger general who has come down from heaven to help me succeed, why don't I worry about it with you!" ”

Liu Kan didn't dare to take credit, so he quickly folded his hands and said politely: "This is all taught by adults, and all the people in the world know that you love the people like sons and are willing to submit." ”

Liu Kan's rainbow fart was in the right place, Chen Sheng was in a good mood, and he didn't let go of Liu Kan, if it weren't for the waterwheel thing waiting for him to implement, Liu Kan had no doubt that Chen Sheng would stay for dinner.

When he went out, Liu Kan went directly to find Ge Ying, who had already found half of the existing craftsmen in Yucheng at this time, and was gathering in the square to wait for Liu Kan's order.

However, Liu Kan stepped forward to ask a few carpenters but found that they did not know much about the principle of their own waterwheel, and they could not serve as the chief engineer of their own project at first glance.

"My lord, these craftsmen are the best I can find, why don't you want them?" Seeing Liu Kan's dissatisfied expression, Ge Ying leaned forward a little aggrieved and asked puzzled.

Liu Kan didn't have any bottom in his heart about whether the waterwheel he painted could be built, so he thought that he could find an expert to help him succeed, and the key to success was the layman's leadership.

"You don't understand, I'm looking for not only some craftsmanship, but also the principles of construction." Liu Kan impatiently pushed Ge Ying's head to the side, and decided to do it himself.

Walking straight to the middle of the crowd, Liu Kan breathed a sigh of relief and asked loudly: "Fellow villagers, do you know who the most powerful carpenter in our city is?" Where is he now? ”

After a while, a very good-looking young man stood up and said to Liu Kan: "My lord, there is an old gentleman surnamed Zhao among our carpenters, and the carpenter job is the best, but I heard that his family was unfortunately killed when the dog county guard evacuated the city, and I don't know if he is alive or not, you can send someone to take a look." ”

Liu Kan looked happy when he heard this, walked quickly to the young man's side, and said, "Do you know where his home is?" Why don't you take us there? ”

Since it was a good deed for the people of this city, the young man had no reason to refuse, and happily led Liu Kan and others to Mr. Zhao's house.

A group of people rode to the east of the city, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated stone house, Liu Kangao sat on the horse just to be able to see the small house clearly, the original built good house thought that it was suffered two days ago, after being burned by the fire, only the broken wall remained, it seemed that there was a sense of broken candles in the wind.

Liu Kan turned over and dismounted and asked Ge Ying to reward some money for the person who led the way, and then walked straight towards the stone house, even if the gate had been burned and there was nothing left, Liu Kan still subconsciously knocked on the door first, and shouted very respectfully: "Is Mr. Zhao at home?" Liu Kan, a junior, came to visit. ”

After Liu Kan finished speaking, there was no sound inside, and just when Liu Kan regretfully questioned that Mr. Zhao had already suffered, there was a violent coughing sound in the room, and he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly took Ge Ying in.

"Who are you? Is there anything to do with coming to my house? A white-haired old man dressed in shabby clothes appeared in front of Liu Kan's eyes, and Liu Kan intuitively felt that he should be the person he was looking for on this trip.

Bowing to the old man, Liu Kan said: "You are the most powerful carpenter in this city, Mr. Zhao, I am Liu Kan, a subordinate of Lord Chen Sheng of the rebel army, and I came to visit you this time to ask you to do us a favor.......

"Don't help, you can go." didn't even listen to Liu Kan's words, the old man issued an eviction order, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, and he was not afraid of Liu Kan's identity at all.

Liu Kan didn't expect the other party to reject himself so resolutely, and when he was confused, Ge Ying behind him couldn't stand it first, there was no way to let him regard Liu Kan as an idol, treating Liu Kan was simply that you can not give me face, you can't help but give me idol face.

"Old man, don't look at who my family is, he is the great benefactor of your entire city, if you don't help with this favor, I will arrest you immediately!" Look what you're still doing! After saying that, Ge Ying seemed to really want to rush over and grab the frail old man.

Where could Liu Kan allow Ge Ying to sabotage his plan, he hurriedly stopped people and reprimanded: "You kid knows how to help me, don't be so rude to Mr., go, wait outside the door, don't let you come in!" ”

was reprimanded by Liu Kan, but Ge Ying had no way to defend himself, so he could only leave the small courtyard with a red face and a look of resentment.

After Ge Ying left, Liu Kan showed a shy smile and said to the old man embarrassedly: "I'm sorry sir, my brother is a little bit of a bad temper, and he doesn't speak through his brain, but he is not a bad person, and he is a bit of a foul when he speaks, I hope you don't be surprised, but I still want you to think about it, after all, this is not only my business, but also related to the survival of the entire people of Yucheng, if you can help the people of Yucheng, I will be grateful to you." ”

After Liu Kan's words were finished, the old man's attitude finally eased a little, he coughed a few times, and only after taking a breath did he open his mouth and say to Liu Kan: "You said that this busy matter is related to the people of Yucheng?" What the hell is going on? ”

As soon as Liu Kan heard that there was a door, he immediately became overjoyed, and quickly took out the bamboo slips in his arms, and explained while showing them to the old man: "I am looking for Mr. this time for this thing, as long as this waterwheel is built and the farmland outside has a way to live, the people will not starve." ”

The old man didn't look at the bamboo slips for the first time, but stared at Liu Kan's face with a pair of cloudy eyes, and found that Liu Kan was indeed sincere when he said these words, and his face was no longer cold.

Stretched out his hand to take the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully, the old man looked thoughtful, he was attracted by Liu Kan's picture, and sketched it in the palm of his hand from time to time, looking very serious.

Liu Kan stood aside and didn't dare to disturb, so he could only stare at the old man, only to find that the old man had a lot of burns on his body, which were obviously left behind not long ago because of these houses.
