After visiting all the way, the courtiers all felt that it was a scam.

It costs money to go to the toilet, to drink water, and to step on a seedling accidentally.

Harsh government is fiercer than tigers, and the courtiers have finally realized how powerful it is to create clever names and impose excessive taxes.

Even talking to the farmers who are plowing the fields will result in a fine. The crime is to affect the farming and deliberately disrupt the farming order, and is suspected of helping Wang Li cheat. Cheating is deceiving the emperor, deceiving the emperor is committing a crime, and committing a crime is to cause chaos.

Anyway, the courtiers have seen Li Shui's ability. No matter what the crime is, he can trick you into treason.

The old man named Aofu kept smiling and confessing, looking sincere and frightened.

As for those newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers and did not know what it meant to be afraid, they were sent out by Lishui to deal with fines.

Anyway, these courtiers have high positions and are respected by everyone. They will not retaliate against a few children for the sake of some Qin Banliang.

The most miserable among them is Ji Ming.

He was a eunuch and stayed in the palace all day long. Unlike other gentlemen, he had a big family and a lot of income. His meager salary, coupled with the emperor's reward, was almost emptied by Lishui.

But he couldn't leave because until now, he had not seen where the stones Li Shui polished were.

If the mission cannot be completed on this trip, how can one go back to meet the emperor? So Ji Ming gritted his teeth and walked all the way, writing IOUs along the way.

Finally, Ji Ming reached the door of the No. 1 Stone Mill.

There was also a child standing at the door, holding a sign that read: "One thousand Qin and a half Liang per person each time."

Courtiers are already familiar with these routines.

Although everyone swore that they would never pay a penny again, everyone was very interested in this No. 1 stone mill.

Because along the way, Souo and his gang were preaching that the First Stone Mill was related to the refining of the Immortality Pill.

Immortality, ascension to immortality. No matter how ethereal or illusory this thing is, everyone is still interested.

So they all gritted their teeth and wrote IOUs and entered the No. 1 Stone Mill.

After entering, everyone fell silent. Fortunately, these courtiers were well-educated, otherwise, they would have yelled.

The so-called stone mill was actually rebuilt from the Shangjun Courtyard. In the open space of the courtyard, there were many flat round stones with a diameter of one foot.

There were some old, weak, sick and disabled people who were using hammers and chisels to carve grooves into the boulders.

In fact, what the courtiers saw was the millstone.

According to Li Shui's drawings, these craftsmen finally made the millstone.

They worked day and night, and so far they had only produced ten semi-finished products.

Chun Yuyue, who was silent along the way, finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Is this thing related to refining elixir? It's simply nonsense."

The courtiers nodded one after another, feeling that the stone was big and heavy, and had nothing to do with the elixir.

Suddenly, there was another sound of whipping coming from the side.

Everyone turned around and saw that several craftsmen were putting two millstones together. Then they brought over a cow, put a rein on the cow, and tried to make the cow grind the grinding wheel in circles.

The cow had never done anything like this before and was tapping its hooves anxiously. The craftsman next to him shook his braid and used force to teach him to work.

The courtiers shook their heads one after another and sighed: "How precious are the cattle for farming? But the locust millet is used for playing with. If this is not a lazy farming, I am afraid there will be no lazy farming in the world."

Everyone walked around the No. 1 Stone Mill and saw nothing else except the big millstones and the cattle.

After coming out, everyone felt that this trip was really a big loss.

So everyone couldn't hold it anymore and said in a flurry: "This Huai Guzi is really shameless. He wants to deceive us and others, and there is no credibility at all."

Since they had already left Lishui's farmland, everyone was not afraid of being fined, so they all reprimanded loudly.

Ji Ming, on the other hand, seemed very silent. He just took out some bamboo pieces and a writing brush, moistened the tip of the pen with saliva, and then quickly wrote down on the bamboo pieces the words of the courtiers who criticized Li Shui.

The only ones among them who remained silent were the alchemists.

The alchemists did not feel sorry for the money, but were a little disappointed that they did not see Li Shui.

I thought that after spending so much money, I would always be able to see Li Shui after coming in, and then be more sincere and ask him for the location of the Fairy Mountain.

As a result, I was dealing with farmers all the way.

The only thing related to alchemy is the so-called stone mill. But the alchemists are all experts, and they can tell at a glance that the stone mill is just a gimmick. It has nothing to do with alchemy and is purely used to defraud money.

The alchemists all sighed.

Following the courtiers, they would never dare to rebuke Li Shui. However, they felt they had no choice but to praise Li Shui a few words, so they just walked away dejectedly.

Li Shui had already expected the reaction of the courtiers and alchemists. But he didn't care. He was drinking with Li Xin.

This wine is obtained by distillation. The alcohol content is not too high, about thirty degrees. But for Qin people, it is already the strongest alcohol among spirits.

Li Xin poured himself a glass, put it under his nose, smelled it, and drank it all in one gulp.

He squinted his eyes in enjoyment and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Huai, this wine of yours is really magical. When I first drank it, I felt it was extremely spicy, as if there was a fire coming from my throat and going straight to my heart. But

The longer you drink it, the more delicious it becomes, making you want to stop drinking it.”

Li Shui looked at the rough-looking Li Xin and thought to himself: "Drinking capacity depends on talent. Li Xin has just tried liquor for a few days, and his drinking capacity has already reached this level. This is simply a natural talent.

A drunkard."

The two of them were drinking happily. Ao Fu ran over happily.

After he entered the room, he knelt down excitedly and said, "Sir, sir, those distinguished guests have left."

Li Shui asked casually: "How much did you charge?"

Cang Fu's voice trembled with excitement: "One hundred thousand dollars, a full hundred thousand dollars. I have never seen so much money in my life."

Wujiao, who had been waiting beside him, was shocked: "In less than two hours, he collected one hundred thousand yuan? This is comparable to robbery."

Li Shui nodded and said: "According to the original agreement, the craftsmen will get 10% of the income from the First Stone Mill, the black friends will get 10%, and I will get 80%. Let's distribute the 100,000 money accordingly."

"

Cang Fu was illiterate, but he was quick to settle the accounts. He bowed excitedly to Li Shui and said, "Bring the money up."

Several children came in, dragging strings of Qin banliang with difficulty.

Li Shui casually threw his 80,000 yuan in the corner.

Wu Jiao looked at his 10,000 yuan and couldn't believe his eyes.

Is this a dream? Is my money back? And it’s back ten times a hundred times?

When he first followed Li Shui to Xiaotu Village, Li Shui was lavish and always used Wu Jiao's money to reward the villagers. Wu Jiao often made slanderous remarks.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, even the capital and profits were recovered.

Wujiao fell to the ground and said sincerely: "Sir, I have thanked you so much."

He was really convinced. This Huaiguzi acted very crazy, but he had real abilities. He cured Fu Yao once, and earned 100,000 yuan once. It seemed that as long as he wanted to, there was nothing he couldn't do.
