Yumen County is not far from Haoning County, but it is not too close, and the carriage traveled on the road for about an hour and a half before it arrived.

Lieutenant Qiu first took Zhu Ruru and Meng Huaiyan to the Yamen to find General Chen Bing, but learned that General Chen was not in the camp and went outside to inspect the city wall being built.

County Lieutenant Qiu asked Zhu Ruru if he wanted to wait for General Chen here, or if he went out to look for him.

Zhu Ruru chose the former.

Since Mr. Chen was going to inspect the construction of the city wall, she could just go to see the situation.

Although she didn't come here voluntarily, since she came, if she could help the people and soldiers here, of course she would try her best to do something.

More than half an hour later, Zhu Ruru finally met the general soldier Chen in the mouth of the Qiu County Lieutenant.

Chen Zongbing looks to be in his forties, and he doesn't look tall and mighty, on the contrary, he is not very tall, and his figure is a little lean.

There are some gaps between this image and Zhu Ruru's imagination.

Since entering the city yesterday, Zhu Ruru has intuitively felt that most of the people in the northwest are tall and burly, and their bodies are strong.

As a general soldier who controls tens of thousands of soldiers, Zhu Ruru thought that his appearance would be taller and more powerful than ordinary people.

I didn't expect it to be the opposite......

However, his face is very majestic. There is also a domineering spirit that cannot be ignored.

If you can sit in the position of chief soldier, how can you be a mediocre person?

"Lord Commander, the subordinate came to you today to report something to you......

Lieutenant Qiu stepped forward to greet General Chen respectfully, and then informed him that the "capable man" sent by the emperor had arrived.

Mr. Chen raised his eyes and swept over to Zhu Ruru and Meng Huaiyan. His eyes flew over Zhu Ruru, but in the end, he fell on Meng Huaiyan, with obvious scrutiny and exploration.

Obviously, he misunderstood, thinking that Meng Huaiyan was the "capable man" sent by the emperor.

After all, although Meng Huaiyan's temperament is cold, and he is a little too thin and white, his extraordinary bearing is impossible to ignore.

"He is the one sent by the Holy One?"

When County Lieutenant Qiu saw General Chen looking straight at Meng Huaiyan, he immediately realized that he had misunderstood.

To be honest, when he saw the two of them for the first time, County Lieutenant Qiu had the same misunderstanding.

He hurriedly corrected: "Lord Commander, the person sent by the Holy Lord is this Zhu girl. ”

"Girl?" Chen Zongbing's brows furrowed instantly when he heard this, and he finally moved his gaze to Zhu Ruru.

This time, he finally didn't skip it quickly, but looked at it carefully.

He soon discovered that the girl, though not very old, looked a little weak. But the temperament is also extraordinary, a pair of apricot eyes are clean and smart, and the whole looks confident and calm.

Moreover, she dared to look directly at him, and there was no cowardice and fear in her eyes!

Seeing this, Mr. Chen's tightly furrowed brows finally loosened slightly.

Although he was surprised that the person sent by the emperor turned out to be a woman, he did not take Zhu Ruru lightly at this moment because she was a woman.

can climb to the position of the chief soldier, Chen Zongbing is still somewhat capable in looking at people.

He could see at a glance that this woman's ability should not be too weak.

Chen Zongbing took the initiative to walk towards Zhu Ruru, "You were sent by the Holy Lord?" ”

Zhu Ruru saluted the blessing of General Soldier Chen, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "I have seen Lord General Soldier, yes, the people's daughter was sent by the saint." ”

Mr. Chen narrowed his eyes and went straight to the point: "Do you know how to grow food?" Know how to build walls? ”

Zhu Ruru said modestly: "I know a little bit about it." ”

Chen Zongbing turned his head to look at the people who were building the city wall not far away, his eyes fell back on Zhu Ruru, and asked her directly: "What suggestions does Miss Zhu have for the city wall we are building?" ”

Zhu Ruru also raised his eyes and glanced at the coolies who were busy.

Those coolies could guess at a glance that many of them should be exiled here, because they did hard work every day, and it was estimated that they did not eat much, and all of them were yellow and thin.

They struggled to carry or push, or carry heavy stones forward......

When Hai'an Town started to build the city wall, Zhu Ruru often went to the construction site to supervise the work, although the people who worked were also hard, but with the tools and instruments she designed, compared to these coolies, I don't know how much easier. It's like heaven and earth.

Zhu Ruru retracted her gaze and did not answer directly, but asked, "Lord General Soldier, do you have a pen and paper?" ”

Mr. Chen was slightly stunned, and then nodded.

After Zhu Ruru got the pen and paper, she didn't care about the image, she sat cross-legged on the ground, and after placing the paper on her lap, she picked up the brush and painted.

Is she drawing?

Mr. Chen and County Lieutenant Qiu glanced at each other suspiciously.

They thought that Zhu Ruru wanted pen and paper to write down the suggestions, but they didn't expect her to use it for drawing!

Although Mr. Chen was very puzzled, he didn't bother Zhu Ruru, just watched quietly from the side.

I saw that Zhu Ru was very stable with the following pen, although he was only simply sketched on the paper, and the horizontal and vertical seemed to have been measured by something.

It didn't take long for some prototypes to be seen.

I saw that Mr. Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and his lips couldn't help but tremble a little, "Miss Zhu, are you painting a stone carrier?" ”

Zhu Ruru didn't expect Mr. Chen to see it so quickly, she had just drawn a prototype!

"Yes, the folk girl is indeed painting a stone carrier." Zhu Ruru didn't raise her head, and continued to draw quickly in her hand.

It didn't take too long, it only took about half a quarter of an hour before and after, and Zhu Ruru had already finished writing.

By the time she stood up and handed the painted stone cart to Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen was already speechless with shock, and his eyes were full of surprise.

As a general soldier, he also knows a lot about all kinds of weapons, tools, and instruments.

He is sure that if he can make it, it will definitely greatly improve the efficiency and save a lot of hard work!

Although the county lieutenant Qiu on the side didn't know much about the equipment, he could also see that the transport truck painted by Miss Zhu seemed to be not simple.

Looking at Mr. Chen's reaction, he was even more convinced that this stone truck should be a rare and good thing.

At this time, County Lieutenant Qiu didn't dare to take Zhu Ruru lightly in his heart.

"Lord Commander, what do you think of this stone carrier? If there is something I am not satisfied with, I can improve it. Zhu Ruru said with a smile.

Chen Zongbing nodded, looked at the stone truck on the drawing again, and saw two small characters marked in the upper left corner, and he was slightly stunned.

He looked up and asked Zhu Ruru: "What does this official mean when he sees the word 'fifty' written on it?" ”

He vaguely guessed something, but he wasn't sure.

Zhu Ruru met General Chen's gaze, as if he saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Lord General Bing didn't guess wrong, this fifty is the meaning of fifty stones (6,000 catties or 3 tons)." ”

"Miss Zhu, do you mean that such a small stone truck can carry thousands of catties of things?" The county lieutenant Qiu on the side was already stunned when he heard this.
