Xiao Xiantang first carefully asked her about her thoughts about the waterwheel, and then asked her several times, and finally tossed this out.

Even, because of the terrain problem, Xiao Xiantang also asked people to install wheels under the waterwheel, and then put a huge wooden board under the wheel, and the four grooves on the board happened to be able to jam the wheels, so that the waterwheel can usually be pushed, and on the beach, you can slide on the wooden board under the wheels, which is really convenient.

Wu Changsheng looked at the waterwheel, shocked and didn't know what to say, and it took a long time to hesitate: "This thing...... This thing is good though...... But...... However, it is impossible to build a huge watermill here, and there are still many of them. ”

The idea is good, but how can it be so easy to do?

Thinking of this, Wu Changsheng couldn't help but start to be disappointed, he thought that if the waterwheel and the embankment could really be put into use, then the salt drying field could indeed save a lot of labor, and the salt production would also increase.

"You say it's impossible, but it's because for you, it's impossible, and for me, it's still possible." Mu Chonglan said without hesitation.

What the?! Wu Changsheng looked at Mu Chonglan in shock.

Mu Chonglan spread his hands: "For me, the grain has been planted, there are a lot of people who are idle at hand, and there are three thousand Ding Navy to help, it is really not good, I can borrow the third class of officials in Longtong County from Xiao Xiantang, and the most important thing is that I also plan to hire the strong men in the county, so that it will not take much time to build enough waterwheels and embankments." ”

Wu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood why the yamen wanted to register the strong men in the county, it turned out that it was because the county lady planned to hire them.

"I'm afraid the cost of this waterwheel will cost a lot of silver." Wu Changsheng lowered his head and said tentatively, he was worried about increasing taxes.

When Mu Chonglan heard this, he said disapprovingly: "I have also thought of this, I have collected a lot of toll silver these days, and I will go back and take some out and use it first." ”

Yan Hongxin: "......"

Wu Changsheng: "......"

Wu Changsheng is a native of Longtong County, and naturally knows about the plucking of the wild goose in Longtong County, although many rumors say that it is the county lady who collects the cash, but Wu Changsheng does not believe it, he feels that this is the trick of the county order, when the female cousin still wants to set up the archway, or finally something happened, and pushed his wife out to take the blame, so he deliberately spread this rumor.

"Nine girls, let's go and see the embankment." Yan Hongxin said loudly, he hadn't remembered it just now, but now he suddenly remembered Wu Changsheng's identity, although at this time, he should stand up for Mu Chonglan and clean up this Wu Changsheng who dared to commit a crime, but after thinking about it again, he felt that it was not appropriate to conflict with this kind of local snake for the time being, otherwise if it really started, those people under Wu Changsheng would fight with them.

Selfishly, Yan Hongxin had seen Mu Chonglan's fist and foot kung fu, and knew that Mu Chonglan would not lose, but when he saw Mu Chonglan's fist and foot kung fu, it was all a private matter, if Mu Chonglan really beat Wu Changsheng and others here, it would be equivalent to telling everyone in Longtong County that their county magistrate was a master and a martial arts person.

It's not cost-effective, it's not cost-effective.

Yan Hong thought confidently, and looked at Mu Chonglan.

Mu Chonglan nodded, with an innocent appearance, he didn't think too much about it at all, he was secretly surprised when he saw it, such a simple person, with such an unpredictable person.

Wu Changsheng saw Mu Chonglan and Yan Hongxin go to see the embankment, and understood that Yan Hongxin wanted to get rid of himself, but now he was full of curiosity about Mu Chonglan because of the waterwheel, so after thinking about it again, he still cheekily followed Mu Chonglan and Yan Hongxin to see the embankment.

The embankment still looks relatively ordinary, Mu Chonglan asked the person who built the embankment to set up two more drainage outlets, Wu Changsheng was puzzled, so he asked, "One drainage outlet, isn't it enough?" ”

"Normal drainage is sufficient, but if the pirates hit this side, it is not enough." Mu Chonglan said.

Yan Hongxin on the side was puzzled: "What is it that pirates hit this side, it's not enough?" ”

"Xiao Xiantang said that the salt drying field is sometimes not safe, there will be a fake to fight the autumn wind, open a few more drains, and when you encounter fake pirates, it can be used as a line of defense, and it is better to drown people than to fight and kill people." Mu Chonglan explained.

When Yan Hongxin heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly thought that it was a good sentence to write an excerpt, this Xiao Xiaoxian order is really a lot of eyes, but this is indeed a method, after all, there are some people you can't beat, and if you don't fight, you will be annoyed, it is better to have a water disaster.

Moreover, this time the embankment is built, and the salt production is bound to increase, and it is impossible for the state capital not to know, so they must have a move.

The state capital is full of archways, so it is naturally not good to fight the autumn breeze clearly, so you can only privately let those fake pirates come to grab salt, and the water of such a levee can not only drive those fake pirates away, but also explain the whereabouts of the salt.

Yan Hongxin secretly said that this Xiao Xiaoxian order is really a martial arts talent, a literary talent, and Wu Changsheng over there is a fist and pursed his lips, he has not yet gone to see the so-called greenhouse planting with Chen Haihan, but just by seeing the embankment and the waterwheel, as well as the news obtained from a few words, he has already believed most of it, but he doesn't understand, how can such a person be sent to their place?

This place in Yanzhou is not good or bad, it mainly depends on what angle you look at.

If you are a corrupt official, or a long-sleeved dancer, you can mix well, but if you are loyal and patriotic, and you are honest and upright, then you will most likely be angry and half dead when you come here, and you are likely to be secretly killed, and then lie that you have contracted an emergency.

Judging from the past, this newcomer Xiao County Ling is a corrupt official, and he looks ugly, but if all these things are used for the people of Longtong County, then is this corrupt official just a corrupt official for the state government and those profiteers, and a good person for them and the people?

Wu Changsheng muttered in his heart, his footsteps did not stop, and he followed Mu Chonglan and Yan Hongxin to see a lot of places, including their residences, as well as the passage connecting the underground of Longtong County, Wu Changsheng's face was very ugly, because before this, he had always thought that these two did not know the passage at all, but now it seems that he just took it for granted.

This new parent official in Longtong County is indeed not simple.
