What is cement?
The old man wanted to ask, but he saw that the people around him looked not surprised after hearing what the store owner said. I know that in the minds of these people, cement must be ordinary and tight, and it is not considered a rarity at all.
Not wanting to lose his sense due to rashness, the old man stopped talking and did not continue to ask.
After resting, the young and old went to the place where the store said the coal was mined. I saw only mine carts full of coal sliding down the mountain at high speed, one after another.
"Here, with so much coal, how much coal can be mined here in one day?" The young man opened his mouth wide and looked at it in a daze.
The old man made a visual inspection and said: "I'm afraid this bucket weighs no more than a thousand jins. With this mining method, it may weigh more than 100,000 jins in one day." What made the old man even more surprised was that there was no one on top of the bucket full of coal. Why did these Dou come down one by one so obediently? He wanted to go up and take a look, but was stopped by the gatekeeper on the grounds that he could not go in.
The old man had no choice but to give up and continue to the capital with the young man.
Qintian Supervisor Liu Lu had been standing at the city gate for a long time today, not knowing who he was waiting for.
When an old man and a young man came, Liu Lu walked up and blocked their path.
"Mr. Jin has been away for more than ten years and is fine."
The old man, Mr. Jin in Liu Lu's mouth, smiled and looked at Liu Lu a few times, and said with a smile: "It's you, Liu Lu. You haven't changed much in the past few years. I didn't expect that you could still maintain the same attitude after becoming an official." Stay true to your heart. Not bad, not bad.”
Liu Lu sighed and said: "Back then, the emperor ordered Mr. Jin to be appointed to the Qintian Prison. If he had not refused and walked away, Liu Lu would not have been able to serve as the prison chief. But now that Mr. Jin has escaped into the mountains and forests, he is concentrating on Why should I return to Beijing again when I am living a leisurely life studying?"
Mr. Jin stood in front of Liu Lu, looked around, and said casually: "I heard that there is a person in the capital who claims to be the best in arithmetic. She is also a woman. Is that true?"
Liu Lu smiled and nodded, saying, "That's true."
Mr. Jin chuckled and asked, "Then how do you think she compares with me?"
Liu Lu listened lowly
He lowered his head, as if he was carefully weighing it.
Liu Lu didn't look up for a long time, which made Mr. Jin a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, the so-called number one person in the world in arithmetic could not compare with him. Liu Lu should not have pondered at all, but should have answered him directly without hesitation. .
"What? Don't you know how good her arithmetic is?"
Liu Lu raised her head and smiled and said: "Mr. Jin misunderstood. My arithmetic more than ten years ago was naturally the best in the Ming Dynasty, but if my arithmetic is still the same as before, I am afraid he will not be the opponent of Master Han. "
Mr. Jin's face suddenly became very ugly. Liu Lu's words were just pointing at his nose and scolding him for living enough over the years and not making any progress.
Mr. Jin was not polite to Liu Lu. He sneered and said, "You actually called her Master Han? Back then I asked you to become my teacher, but you refused. I never thought that one day you would become your teacher to a woman. What a long time." Good ambition."
Liu Lu clearly heard the sarcasm in Mr. Jin's words, but she didn't care at all about this matter. She said calmly: "Mr. Jin misunderstood. Master Han never said that he would take this officer into custody." I am a disciple because I feel grateful for Master Han’s kindness.”
When Mr. Jin heard this, the hand holding his beard couldn't help but tremble, and he tore the beard off. A burst of heartbreaking pain made the corners of his mouth twitch.
"It seems that being an official can really change a person. In recent years, you have become much more tactful than before."
Liu Lu ignored Mr. Jin's sarcasm and suddenly asked: "Sir, is this your visit to Beijing to challenge Master Han in arithmetic?"
Mr. Jin smiled reservedly and said: "Originally I had no such plan. I just wanted to come to the capital to have a look after being free for a long time. But now that you said so, I really want to meet her for a while."
Siluke
After Liu Lu heard this, she said to Mr. Jin with a worried look on her face: "Master Han is less than 20 years old. Even if Mr. Jin wins, he will be suspected of bullying the small. If he loses, Mr. Jin will be even more... His reputation is in disrepute. Mr., you have devoted yourself to studying for many years, so why bother wading into this muddy water?"
"We have different paths and we don't want to work together." Mr. Jin shook his head and said. Shi Shiran crossed Liu Lu directly with his hands behind his back, without even saying hello.
So we walked into the city.
Liu Lu looked at Mr. Jin's back with a calm face, and didn't smile until he was out of sight.
"Master Jianzheng, it looks like he is no match for Master Han. If he wants to humiliate himself, then let him go. Why do you need to persuade him?" The Qintian prison official who came with Liu Lu was puzzled. asked.
Liu Lu glanced at her subordinate, sneered, and said, "Do you think I am really trying to persuade him?"
As he said that, he raised his eyes and glanced at the place where Mr. Jin disappeared, and then said proudly: "He is too arrogant. He thinks he is the best in the world in arithmetic and does not take anyone else seriously. At that time, the emperor decreed He dared to refuse even if he was called to the palace as an official. I said that just because I was afraid that he would really come to the capital and not challenge Master Han, so I provoked his general. I just want him to understand, What does it mean that there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people.”
The subordinate immediately understood. The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing when they thought of what was interesting. Want to challenge Master Han? I simply don’t know how high the sky and the earth are. The two even made an appointment to go to a restaurant and drank happily, treating it as an advance celebration for Master Han.
People like Mr. Jin naturally start to stir up troubles as soon as they enter the capital.
Not only Liu Lu, but also Lao Zhu who was sitting in the palace looking down at the world was attracted by him.
Lao Zhu was having dinner with Queen Ma. Mao Xiang came in regardless of the obstruction and whispered a few words next to Lao Zhu.
When Queen Ma saw it, she asked out of curiosity: "What happened? Why don't you even stop to have a meal?"
Lao Zhu put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and sighed, and said: "Counting the time, he should arrive in the capital."
Mao Xiang, who had just walked to the door, paused when he heard this. He had just received the news, but according to the emperor, the emperor had received the news when the man had just left? From this point of view, the emperor must have other sources of information besides himself.
Thinking of this, Mao Xiang couldn't help but secretly clenched his fingers a few times and left as if nothing had happened.
"Who is it? Making you so solemn?" Queen Ma asked curiously.
Lao Zhu glanced at Queen Ma and said, "Mr. Jin, sister, do you still remember?"
