Hearing what the two said, Lu Bu asked a question, "However, even if you want to earn money from Jizhou, how can you sell it to him?"
Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Chen Gong.
Chen Gong frowned, "How about opening a shop in Jizhou?"
Zhang Miao waved his hands hastily, "It's not appropriate. If something happens and someone else takes it away, wouldn't it be bad?"
Lu Bu thought for a while, and suddenly shouted outside the door, "Zhang Hu, go and call Li Yan."
Chen Gong already knew about the caravan, and when he heard the name Li Yan, he immediately laughed.
"That's right, the matter on the product must be resolved by professional people."
……
Li Yan was ecstatic when he heard the summons.
Xu Si is in charge of the caravan affairs, even if he has something to do, he should report to Xu Si.
But now, Marquis Wen went past Xu Si and went directly to him.
Could it be that he really wants to become a success?
Li Yan immediately put down what he was doing and hurriedly followed the guards to Lu Mansion.
Standing in the yard, looking at the door of the room where Lu Bu was, Li Yan's breathing became short of excitement, and his hands were shaking.
He knew very well that after stepping into this door, two fates were waiting for him.
First, he will rise to prominence and become Lu Bu's confidant.
Second, Lu Bu was disappointed in him, so he had no future to speak of.
After Zhang Hu reported, he turned his head and waved to Li Yan, "Go in."
Li Yan took a deep breath, and then walked into the room through the opened door. Seeing the authentic Lu Bu sitting upright, fine sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly saluted.
"Li Yan has met Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu waved his hand, "Li Yan, you have performed very well during this time, and I am very satisfied."
Hearing this, Li Yan was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Marquis Wen, for your compliment."
Lu Bu nodded, pointed to the glasses on the table, "Li Yan, come here, how about these glasses?"
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Li Yan hurriedly lowered his head, and then saw several glasses on the table. After seeing them clearly, his eyes lit up, and he said in a surprised voice.
"What a good thing, it can be called a treasure!"
Lu Bu nodded, and asked slowly, "Li Yan, if the Marquis wants to sell this cup, what should I do to sell it for more money?"
"Sell?"
Li Yan was taken aback, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, "Marquis Wen, wouldn't it be better to keep such a treasure?"
Lu Bu waved his hand, "Li Yan, to tell you the truth, Ben Hou still has many such cups, and I don't want to exchange these cups for money, do you understand what Ben Hou means?"
Hearing this, Li Yan immediately reacted, looking at the glass on the table, his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Really, how is this possible?"
Zhang Miao became impatient and waved his hand, "Li Yan, tell me, what can you do?"
Li Yan suppressed his excitement, thought carefully, cupped his hands at Lu Bu, and asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, how many are there?"
Lu Bu said slowly, "There are many, as many as you want."
Hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but gasped, looked at the glass on the table again, and spoke slowly after a long time.
"Marquis Wen, if you want to sell this item at a high price, you can't let anyone know that we have a lot."
Lu Bu nodded approvingly, "Only a few of us know about this matter, and outsiders will not know about it."
Hearing this, Li Yan only felt his heart beating violently.
Doesn't this mean that he has already participated in the core?
Thinking of this, Li Yan became short of breath, and said in a trembling voice, "Next, we will give these things away."
"what?"
Everyone present was taken aback, Zhang Miao waved his hands hastily, "The money has not been earned yet, but the money is given away first, how can this be?"
Li Yan cupped his hands and continued, "Even if we have such treasures in our hands, it would be futile for others not to know about them.
Therefore, we have to send out a batch, and when everyone knows it, it will be easy to make money if they want to make money. "
Hearing this, Lu Bu became interested and asked with a smile, "Li Yan, tell me in detail?"
Li Yan clasped his hands together, "Marquis Wen, for example, Jizhou, we can give this object to Lord Benchu, and then send people to publicize it, so that everyone knows that we have such a treasure in Yanzhou.
There are many wealthy households in Jizhou. When they hear about this, they will definitely rush to Yanzhou to find a way to buy it. By then, our financial resources will be rolling in. "
Hearing this, Zhang Miao was overjoyed, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "We can do the same in other places. At that time, households from all over the world will come to Yanzhou to buy, and we only need to collect money for the land, haha. "
Lu Bu was also very satisfied with this method, and nodded, "Li Yan, what you said is very good, and Ben Hou is very satisfied. You can handle this matter, are you willing?"
Li Yan was overjoyed immediately, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."
Chen Gong nodded, "Now that Duke Ben Chu has no idea about Yanzhou's intentions, we can also take this opportunity to fight against the weak and buy time."
Lu Bu nodded, "Alright, let's start with Ben Chugong first."
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
"Marquis Wen, great joy, the keel waterwheel will be built soon, General Han and others invite Marquis Wen to watch it?"
Hearing this news, Lu Bu was overjoyed immediately, stood up abruptly, and waved to everyone.
"Everyone go together."
……
A group of people left Puyang and rushed towards the river.
Before reaching the river, far away, I heard the voices of people in front of me, and it was very lively.
Countless people and refugees gathered by the river, looking at the keel waterwheel by the river in amazement, and talking constantly.
A middle-aged man pointed at the keel waterwheel with a trace of doubt in his eyes, "You said that you can bring water to the shore with just this wooden frame. Is it impossible?"
As soon as the man stopped questioning, several people immediately surrounded him and asked angrily, "Do you know who invented this? It's Marquis Wen, do you know?"
"Marquis Wen won't lie to us, as long as he says he can bring the water up, he will definitely be able to bring it up."
"I can tell you, if you dare to question Marquis Wen again, I will beat you up, you know?"
When the middle-aged man saw more and more people coming around, his face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hands hurriedly, "Why didn't you say it was invented by Marquis Wen earlier? If I had known it earlier, would I have dared to say that!"
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, the people around him angrily let him go.
Just when everyone was expecting the keel waterwheel to run, there was a sudden exclamation from a distance.
"Everyone give in, Marquis Wen is here."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look, and saw the red rabbit horse running from a distance, and it was their respected and beloved Marquis Wen who immediately ate people.
When everyone saw Lu Bu, they shouted almost at the same time, "Get out of the way, don't block the way of Marquis Wen."
Following the shouting, the crowd, like a tide, suddenly rolled to both sides. In just a moment, a road led to the river.
Lu Bu came to the crowd, slowed down his horse, waved vigorously to the crowd, and shouted, "Hello, folks."
"Hello, Marquis Wen!"
The voices of the people sounded like thunder on the banks of the river.
Li Yan, who went out with Lu Bu for the first time, heard the shouts of the people, and his blood boiled with excitement.
He also wanted to wave to the villagers to express his excitement, but he knew better that he was not qualified yet because he hadn't really been recognized by Lu Bu.
Only those who are recognized by Lu Bu and can become a member of this team have that qualification.
Lu Bu kept waving at the crowd, and soon came to the river.
Han Hao and others hurried forward to greet him, "The last general will see Marquis Wen."
Wang Kai said with a smile, "Marquis Wen, let's go up to the stage to see more clearly."
Not far from the keel waterwheel, there is a high platform for observing the operation of the entire waterwheel.
Lu Bu nodded, and led the crowd up to the high platform amidst the cheers of the people.
When a group of people came to the high platform, Han Hao stepped forward to salute Lu Bu, "Wen Hou, can we start?"
Lu Bu nodded, "Let's begin."
Following the order from Lu Bu, the craftsmen and soldiers standing by the river immediately moved to assemble the final parts of the keel waterwheel.
After a quarter of an hour, the wooden box at the bottom of the huge keel waterwheel sank into the water, was pushed by the rolling river water, and started to run.
"Look, the keel waterwheel is moving!"
The wooden box on the edge of the keel waterwheel is filled with water in the river, and driven by the rolling river water, it slowly rotates along the hub and rises upward.
As the water tank turned over, a stream of water drilled out of the water tank and landed on the waterway that had been built long ago.
Again and again, boxes of water were turned over on the waterway, and then flowed into the ditch along the waterway.
Seeing such a miracle, the onlookers suddenly became overwhelmed and shouted in unison.
"The water is out!"
"It's really out of water!"
"With water, we will never be afraid of drought again."
The people around them were so excited that they couldn't help themselves when they saw the water flow brought by the rotating keel waterwheel. Some people even cried.
Planting crops in this era is completely dependent on the weather. As long as there is a drought, there will be no harvest in severe cases.
Since there is no harvest, the family can only starve for a year, or even starve to death.
Now that they have water, they are not afraid even if there is a drought.
"My God, old man, I have lived for so long, and I have never seen such a miracle."
"Marquis Wen must have been sent by heaven to save us, otherwise, how could he make such a miraculous object."
Before long, all the voices merged into one voice
"Thank you Marquis Wen for bringing us water!"
Lu Bu couldn't help but get excited when he looked at the water that was constantly flowing in the waterway. At the same time, he felt completely relieved.
Although the system will not lie to him, if the effect is not good, it is useless.
Han Hao stared at the running keel waterwheel with wide eyes, and his eyes suddenly became wet.
With the keel waterwheel, water sources can be led everywhere without digging deep ditches.
From now on, as long as the water from the river continues, this land will never be short of water.
Thinking of this, Han Hao turned around and bowed his hands to Lu Bu deeply, "What Marquis Wen did will definitely be famous forever. No matter how long it takes, when the people on this land use water, they will always remember the greatness of Marquis Wen." kindness."
Li Yan suddenly knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and said, "Marquis Wen is extremely intelligent and kind-hearted. He is truly a role model for us. My subordinates are willing to follow him forever and will never betray him."
Lu Bu stretched out his hand to support Li Yan, and said with a smile, "Li Yan, you are fine, work hard, I believe you can do better."
Chen Gong looked at the keel waterwheel in the river, besides excitement, there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Lu Bu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, no one has ever doubted this.
However, Lu Bu was actually able to invent and create a keel waterwheel for the benefit of all people, which really surprised him.
Chen Gong turned his head to look at Lu Bu with a calm face, and then turned his head to look at the people who kept shouting under the high platform, a thought suddenly rose in his heart.
World!
While everyone was cheering, a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed out of the crowd, knelt down by the river, kowtowed respectfully, and began to cry with sobs.
Soon, some more people came to the river, imitated the women, knelt down by the river and cried.
Seeing this scene, Lu Bu couldn't help being taken aback, turned his head to look at Han Hao, his face darkened.
"General Han, what's going on, are they wronged?"
Han Hao looked at the people by the river with a sad look in his eyes, "Marquis Wen, their family members were all buried in the water when they were building the keel waterwheel. What they did was to mourn their relatives."
Speaking of this, Han Hao sighed, "Now that the keel waterwheel has been built, this land will no longer be short of water. Although they are gone, they will definitely feel relieved."
Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but sighed, and said slowly, "General Han, we can't treat those who have accidents during the construction of the keel waterwheel. Besides giving some money to compensate them, let's see what else they need." , must satisfy them.”
As soon as Lu Bu's fireworks fell, Zhang Miao, who had been standing beside him without speaking, suddenly spoke.
"Marquis Wen, why don't we engrave their names on another stone tablet next to the keel waterwheel so that everyone will remember it."
As one of the eight chefs in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Miao's talent should not be underestimated.
Maybe he is not as good as Chen Gong in terms of war resourcefulness, but in terms of reputation, his thinking is quite clear.
It doesn't cost much to erect a stone monument next to the keel waterwheel, but it can bring great honor, and this is the reputation that many people can't pursue.
To be able to engrave their names on the stele is something that even a celebrity would wish for, not to mention just some ordinary people, it is simply the highest treatment.
Hearing Zhang Miao's proposal, Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately, "Meng Zhuo, you are right, we should not be the only ones remembering those who went to build keel waterwheels, but also let everyone who used them remember them." Those who benefit from the keel waterwheel remember them."
After saying this, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Han Hao, and said loudly, "General Han, call the craftsmen immediately, set up a stone tablet next to the keel waterwheel, and engrave their names on it."
Han Hao hurriedly cupped his hands, "The last general obeys."
When the people by the river heard that the monument was going to be erected, they cried even louder. They all turned around and knelt down to the high platform, kowtowing to express their thanks.
"Thank you, Marquis Wen."
