"The Yellow River is ten thousand miles of sand, and the waves and winds come from the end of the world ......." Liu Shang looked at the meandering and rushing Jiuqu River in front of him, and thought of the river called the Yellow River in his previous life, which was too similar to the Jiuqu River in front of him, so he couldn't help but chant a song, Liu Yu Xilang and sand.

In 0.

He is surrounded by everyone in their respective fields, including Chen Pi, who is both civil and military, Sun Sizhe, the head of the medical family, His Royal Highness Zhu Zhen, King of the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Cong, the former famous son of the family.

This novel verse made them refreshed and tasted it unconsciously.

"Good poetry." Zhu Zhen was the first to speak in admiration.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Master casually chanted a few lines of poetry, and the artistic conception was so lofty.

Xu Cong said secretly, phew, sycophant.

Chen Bi chewed these sentences, his eyes were bright and admired, the teacher is really an immortal artistic conception, although this poem is short, but the artistic conception is apt and lofty, but what kind of character is the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?

Liu Shang glanced at them and didn't explain, what do you like to think, anyway, in this world, whatever I say, it's what it is.

"The Yellow River, yes, the Jiuqu River is turbid and yellow, isn't it the Yellow River!" Zhu Zhen said again in compliments.

Liu Shang scolded with a smile: "Your mouth is also very muddy, so you don't need compliments." ”

His words made Zhu Zhen very embarrassed, but he shrugged his shoulders and shut up.

Xu Cong snickered in his heart, this thing seems to be very unkind to see Zhu Zhen, probably because Zhu Zhen participated in the arrest of him, so he is a little cautious, after all, he is still a child, and he has a little temper, which is understandable.

Liu Shang pointed ahead and asked, "What are they doing?" ”

Ahead, in the distance, there is a group of men with big shoulders and round waists, pulling something against the river.

They looked in the direction of the Heavenly Master's fingers, and also saw this group of people, all of them were confused, except for Chen Bi and Sun Sizhe, there may really be no one who can answer this question, they are all going south and north, one is pursuing their own way, and the other is going to the Quartet to save people.

They are all well-informed people.

"Teacher, these people are the lifu on both sides of the Jiuqu River, who make a living by helping passing merchants pull boats and carry them." Chen Bi arched his hand.

Liu Shang nodded when he heard this, oh, and went straight to where to go, at this moment, the surface of the Jiuqu River had already thawed, there was no ice, and it was a little turbulent, he was very curious, how did these people work in such a harsh environment.

The Celestial Master wanted to see the freshness, and as disciples, they naturally had to follow in his footsteps, so the group headed towards the Lifu.

Up and down the Jiuqu River Basin, spanning millions of miles, runoff from several countries, Tang, Song, Ming, Zhao, Chen, Yan, Jin, Wei... and so on.

The people along the river depend on this big river for their livelihood, and the fields here are basically in a barren state, why?

Because in addition to the vast loess here, there are rivers flooding, spring does not grow an inch of grass, summer sun scorching, autumn wind blowing yellow sand, winter cold snow all over the sky, the environment is bad, the four seasons are the same.

It is in such a difficult environment that the people are living in and struggling to survive, and their ancestors have faced this environment for generations and multiplied.

But there is a very strange phenomenon, that is, after leaving a certain range of Jiuqu, it is another scene, not only the grass and trees are vigorous, the four seasons are like spring, and the wind and rain are smooth.

It's like two worlds, so people divide the Jiuqu River Basin into upper counties, middle counties, and lower counties.

The upper county lives are some families, noble families, wealthy businessmen, powerful people, basically upper-class people, the middle county is more complicated, there are scholarly families, rich businessmen, and poor people, and the lower county is a village close to Jiuqu, which is where these lifu live.

The magnates of the Tang Kingdom, the wealthy families, are basically deep-rooted here, intertwined, and powerful, such as the Langya family Bao family, which is a well-known existence in the Tang Kingdom.

Some people will ask, since Bao Kang is a son of a family, why was he killed by a Liu Ye, and why did the Bao family not move?

Bao Kang is a good family, even for the sake of face, the Bao family once roared, but in the end, there was no movement, because there was a person they didn't want to offend, and told them not to make trouble, so they quieted down.

Otherwise, a small heirloom will be put in the eyes of the Langya Bao family?

And, that person is Yanshan Bohou Qing, who is represented behind him, it is self-evident.

Fortunately, Li Sheng also told them later, there will be an explanation for this matter, so the Bao family had no choice but to obey, this majesty's strength surpassed the previous emperors, even if the Bao family is a big family, they have to deal with it carefully, and if they die an heir, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.

In Langya County, the Bao family is the sky, most of the fields in the county, merchants, rice markets, salt and iron transactions, are all monopolized by the Bao family, and they are licensed by the imperial power.

It can be imagined that the power of the Bao family is huge.

The upper, middle and lower counties of Langya are all within the influence of the Bao family, so the Lifu can naturally be regarded as doing things for the Bao family again and earning a hard-earned money.

From afar, the Lifu saw these men and women, and wanted to come and ask if there was any business to do, until they saw a tiger in sight, and they did not know who it was.

"Ah, it's the Heavenly Master, it's the Heavenly Master, the grass people Xin Wusi, meet the Heavenly Master."

A thick-faced man with a big waist and a round waist hurriedly fell to the ground with a group of powerful men.

Everyone has a look of curiosity and awe, which makes Liu Shang not embarrassed, am I so terrible?

Liu Shang hurriedly signaled to the big worm, he walked down and stepped forward: "Hurry up, the man Xia has gold, kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents, how can he casually give this big gift to others, get up, get up." He seemed to blame in his mouth, but these rough men felt very moved in their hearts.

Xin Wusi was moved, got up and greeted: "The grass people also follow the rules, we only know that the Heavenly Master is an immortal, and it is also appropriate to be worshiped by us." ”

This is really an honest man, but he has his own cognitive truth, and that's what he thinks in his heart.

In the face of the powerful officials and gentry in the DPRK, Liu Shang has a reserved face, a light and high-minded attitude, in front of the common people, he is always so approachable, it is difficult to imagine that such a noble person will have such a down-to-earth side.

Chen Bi looked at the teacher's behavior and fell into contemplation, he is a person who likes to think, although the teacher's behavior and words and deeds, although he has an indescribable feeling, but also feels sincere, the teacher is really the same heart, he admonished himself, isn't this just words and deeds?

Men and women have gold under their knees, and it makes sense to kneel to the sky and kneel to their parents.

Liu Shangcai didn't care what he thought, he didn't like others to kneel down to him at every turn, in his eyes, no one was nobler than anyone else, and all beings were equal.

"I'm just passing through here to see you pulling things in the rushing river, so I'm just here to take a look." Liu Shang smiled and said in as calm a tone as possible.

When Xin Wusi heard this, he said with a smile: "Let the Heavenly Master smile, our ancestors all lived on this river, and it is just normal for the weather to be cold and freezing, after all, you have to eat and raise your children, hehe." The rough-faced man scratched his head, embarrassed to say in a rough and shy voice.

Liu Sheng didn't think there was anything, he walked to the river, the river was not wide, only about a dozen zhang, there was a huge wood on both sides, surrounding the rope, and there was an iron ring in the middle of the rope, which was what they used to pull goods.

But isn't this laborious, no wonder so many people pull an arm's thick rope and still have such a hard time.

Liu Shang said strangely: "You just rely on manpower to pull, do you consume your strength like this, and your body can eat?" ”

The Lifu want to laugh but don't dare to laugh, the Heavenly Master is really an immortal, and he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.

Xin Wusi glared at them, puffed out his arms and said: "It's okay, our ancestors have been like this for generations, and our bodies can still bear it, Heavenly Master don't underestimate us, we can be strong." ”

Liu Sheng shook his head, took the whisk on the ground, and began to write and draw, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

"You rely on manpower, in the end is insufficient, this river is turbulent, want to come in a day, you can't earn a few dollars, poor I have some tools here, give it to you, you can try, in that case, this river will no longer be a problem, it is the fate of our encounter, a gift for you."

This product is a hundred friends, agency news, medical divination and astrology, all of which are refined.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, and it seemed that the Heavenly Master was going to draw some tools.

"That's a good feeling, thank you Heavenly Master." Xin Wusi took the lead and thanked him again.

Liu Sheng shook his head, he can't change these people, just kneel if you want to.

Chen Bi and the others were also very curious about what tools the teacher wanted to get for them.

After a while, Liu Shang, who was writing and drawing, got up, and the picture on the ground was displayed in front of everyone, and people looked at each other, they couldn't understand it, all the things with gears were what they were.

Including Chen Pi, they didn't see what the teacher was drawing.

Seeing that they all looked uninformed, Liu Sheng was not surprised at all, if they knew, then it would be hell.

"This is the winch, this one has a serrated wheel, called a gear, put the winch at this end, the rope crosses the opposite side of the river, the same way, set up another one, as long as you build a few more winches along the river, in the future, you don't need to work so hard to pull things with manpower." Liu Shang explained.

Seeing him say this, people suddenly realized, but they still didn't know why, how such a strange thing could be pieced together and become a winch.

Liu Shang greeted Sun Sizhe with a smile and said; "Old Sun, you show them one by one according to the style I painted."

Sun Sizhe is very easy to use at this time, who calls people wood, not only has the blessing of the demon pill, but also can transform a huge body, just a few things, in a few minutes, he can get it out, he is also very curious, what is the use of this strange thing of the heavenly master.

"It's the disciple's life."
