Xiaotao couldn't help but say, "Miss, if we were caught by the officers and soldiers here, we would be really regretful for the rest of our lives!"

Huang Yueying smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this. Seeing the people here live and work so peacefully and the officials are loyal to the duty, it can be seen that Lu Bu is a person who knows how to govern the country. Such people will naturally not harass the people for no reason. We can walk around Xuzhou openly and will never encounter official investigations."

Xiaotao thought of coming to Xuzhou all the way, although he had passed many passes, he did not see the officers and soldiers checking each other. He couldn't help but say strangely: "Miss, it's really strange. We have passed many passes, but why don't the officers and soldiers check passes by? And even the caravans rarely check. This is too negligent. If someone else's detailed work wants to sneak in, wouldn't it be easy?"

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "If I were to do it carefully, as long as the city was not closed, wouldn't I think of a way to come in? I have always opposed this practice of checking passers-by and merchants too frequently! That would be of no use except creating obstacles to trade and trade!" After a pause, he looked thoughtful, "I didn't expect that Lu Bu, who was as fierce and cruel as a tiger or wolf, could do this. It was really beyond expectations! I believe that all the legends about him in the world do not conform to the facts!"

Xiaotao said teasingly: "I think Lu Bu is just afraid of trouble when he does this!"

Huang Yueying gave Xiaotao a blank look, "Nonsense! As the lord and a prince, can he still come and investigate in person? Lu Bu saw the benefits of doing this, so he canceled the checkpoint inspections in various places as much as possible! In this way, the tariffs and capitol taxes received seemed to be sharply reduced, but they promoted trade exchanges to the greatest extent. This was like blood. Once stagnated, there would be many diseases and even life would be lost. But if it was circulated, the body would be nourished and full of vitality. Not only would it be painless and disaster-free, but it would also be radiant! Haven't you seen the two small counties we passed by before? It was just an unknown small county town, and the trade was prosperous and prosperous!" Xiaotao thought of the county town he passed by two days ago, and couldn't help but nodded in the same sense.

Huang Yueying's attention returned to the waterwheels in front of her. What she was most interested in was the wonders created by these human forces.

Seeing that there was a row of long rooms under the nearest water wheel, there was still sound of heavy objects hitting objects, I couldn't help but feel curious and said, "Why are these houses under the water wheels built? What's the purpose?" Xiao Tao was worried that the lady would be interested and had to go for a survey. He hurriedly said, "It must be a place where farmers temporarily rest, and that's nothing strange! Isn't there too many places like this in Jingzhou?" Huang Yueying asked, "Then what's going on with this constant loud noise?" Xiao Tao couldn't answer. Seeing that the lady turned her horse's head and walked up the ridge between the two fields and walked towards the long room, she couldn't help but sigh, turned her horse's head and followed her.

The master and maids arrived in front of the eldest room one after another. Huang Yueying turned over and got off the horse, Xiaotao followed him and took the reins from the lady's hand, and led the two horses.

Huang Yueying looked at the long house and saw an old farmer sitting outside the long house with her legs rolled up, so she stepped forward and clasped her fists and said, "Hello, old man."

The old farmer smiled and waved his hand, "Don't dare to be it, don't dare to be it! Is there anything wrong with the little girl?"

Huang Yueying pointed to the eldest wife and asked, "Mr., what is the purpose of this eldest wife? I don't look like a place for people to rest?"

The old farmer smiled and said, "How can this stop people? I listen to the sound of the bulge in this mill all day long. If you stay with you for a long time, you will have to be dizzy!"

Huang Yueying was surprised, "This is a mill? Why is the mill set up here?" The old farmer looked at Huang Yueying and smiled, "The little girl came from another place. I didn't boast, our mills are not there anywhere else!" Xiao Tao couldn't help but mutter, "Brave! What's so strange about the mill!" Huang Yueying heard Xiao Tao speak rudely, turned her head and shouted angrily: "Xiao Tao must not be rude!" The old farmer didn't care at all, and laughed: "The mill is nothing strange, but we don't have to work hard to pound rice and grind noodles, only we have one here!"

Huang Yueying and Xiaotao were surprised, and Xiaotao said in disbelief: "Mill rice and grind noodles by yourself! How is this possible? Could it be that your mill has become a essence?"

The old farmer smiled, stood up, and said, "Our mill is really a spirit! Come on, I'll take you to see." As he said that, he led the master Huang Yueying and his maid into the eldest house. He saw a row of mortars made of stones not far away. This was nothing strange, just like the mortars of ordinary mills. However, the row of wooden pounds in front of the mortars were actually hitting the mortars themselves. Once and once, the force was not small, making a loud bang. Xiao Tao had never seen such a scene. He was stunned on the spot and murmured with a pale face: "Really, it's a spirit!"

Huang Yueying is not a little Tao. After a brief shock, she immediately noticed that there was a complex bearing gear structure connected to the bearings of the water wheel after the wooden pounding. These wooden pounds were moved up and down as the water wheel rotated. Huang Yueying couldn't help but be amazed, and murmured: "What awesome! Such a delicate design is really a trick!" Huang Yueying clasped her fist at the old farmer and asked for instructions: "Old sir, can I take a closer look?" The old farmer laughed and said: "What's the matter, just look at it.

Be careful, don't be hurt by the wood pounding and the stone mill." At this time, Huang Yueying and his maid noticed that there was a stone mill not far away, and it was also turning, making a heavy and muffled sound. Xiaotao couldn't help but be afraid and hid behind Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying noticed that the stone mill was also driven by a water truck by a complex group of similar wood pounding. Although everything here is magical, Huang Yueying immediately noticed that both the wood pounding and the stone mill are driven by the power of the water flow, and they are definitely not a fairy or ghost.

Huang Yueying looked over and over again, took out a satin brush, carefully drew these machine-clad structures and prepared to study them slowly.

After a while, Huang Yueying gratitude clasped her fists at the old farmer and said, "Old sir, thank you!" The old farmer smiled and said, "I don't thank you, no, no." Then he asked curiously, "What do you want to do if you draw the things here?" Huang Yueying said with hope, "I want to make a water truck like this." The old farmer was surprised and smiled and said, "It's really strange that such a beautiful girl actually likes to play with these things! But I advise you not to waste your energy. These magical things were all thought of by our lord, and you can't understand them!"

Huang Yueying smiled, and couldn't help but feel regretful. She regretted that when Lu Bu arrived in Xiangyang, she shouldn't have had many concerns and didn't meet him. Otherwise, she would benefit a lot from asking him in person. However, if things go by, it would be useless to regret it any more!

The three of them came out of the eldest house. Huang Yueying and Xiaotao stepped onto the horse back again, bid farewell to the old farmer, and returned to the official road. Xiaotao pointed to huge windmills in the distance and said curiously: "I don't know what those things are for! They are also turning!" Huang Yueying had noticed the windmills for a long time and said: "The windmills driven by wind have similar principles to waterwheels. The room below should be a mill, using wind to do things." Then he said admirably: "But he actually thought of using wind, which is really admirable! I am really far from him!"

Xiaotao suddenly asked curiously: "Miss, do you think Lu Bu is powerful or Mr. Kong Ming is powerful?"

Huang Yueying was stunned, and her beautiful face turned red, and said angrily: "The two of them are not in harmony, so how can they compare together?"

Xiaotao begged: "Miss, can you just compare and watch?"

Although Huang Yueying felt a little embarrassed, she still couldn't help but compare Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang and murmured: "When it comes to appearance, the two have their own strengths. Zhuge Liang is elegant and handsome, while Lu Bu is heroic. When it comes to talent and learning, Zhuge Liang must be far better than Lu Bu. When it comes to martial arts, Lu Bu is called "Lu Bu among men and Red Rabbit among horses". It can be said that Zhuge Liang is unparalleled in the world, so Zhuge Liang naturally cannot compare with him. When it comes to this mechanism, it seems that Lu Bu is better now!..." When Yan thought about this, he looked thoughtful and didn't know what he was thinking.

Xiao Tao couldn't help but smile and said, "So, compared with the two of them, is this General Lu Bu better?"

Huang Yueying couldn't help but nodded, then reacted. The sweet-skin turned red and said in a panic: "Okay, you little girl, you dare to tease me! Look at me not to hit you!" As she said that, she raised her right hand and wanted to hit her. Xiao Tao exclaimed and quickly urged her mount to escape to the city gate in front. Huang Yueying was embarrassed and angry and urged the horse to chase her relentlessly. The pedestrians on the road saw two women chasing and running on the road, and they thought that the lady from which family was riding a horse and having fun!

The master and maids rushed into the city gate one by one and one behind. They couldn't help but stop. They were stunned by the scene in front of them! The houses were lined up one after another, and the sun was shining with great magnificence. Pedestrians on the streets were shoulder to shoulder, and the flags of the shops were endless! Xiaotao widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "This is so prosperous here!" Huang Yueying nodded in agreement.

The master and maids rode forward on horseback, and looked while walking, they found that the goods sold on the street were dazzling everywhere.
