The underground is not a completely enclosed space. If you look to the west, you can see a gap about one person high, where there seems to be the sound of water.It is conceivable that Lu Hanzhang must have gotten in from that place.This is also easy to understand. The water used to cool the salt solution steam in the salt workshop must have a source and a destination, so there must be a river near the salt workshop.

Coincidentally, there is a not-so-obvious terrain drop outside the gap, which covers the gap.

Lu Hanzhang raised his finger and pointed to a certain direction on the east side: "If you want to move heavy objects up and down, there is only one type of mechanism in Daqing that can do it. Well, you can go there later and have a look, there should be a very A bulky turntable with a simple structure. Go, I'll wait for you here."

Liu Changzhou nodded, and said casually, "Why don't you go and have a look together?" This sentence didn't mean much at all, and he didn't expect to receive an answer, Liu Changzhou just said it casually.In the end, he heard Lu Hanzhang say solemnly: "Don't go, otherwise, I will come in vertically and go out horizontally."

Liu Changzhou: "Huh?"

Lu Hanzhang pointed to his heart, put his hand on his pulse, and said with great regret: "I think I may not be suitable for entering places with low terrain and poor air circulation, and I will suffocate to death."

Liu Changzhou poked him on the shoulder, snorted, and said, "You have self-knowledge." He had completely given up hearing any information about the poison from Lu Hanzhang's mouth. Counting the days, if nothing unexpected happened, Liu Jiang and Zhu Dianyi He's coming back soon, he will always know everything from other sources, the living can't be suffocated to death by urine.

He walked nearly a hundred steps into the depth, and sure enough, he saw a big turntable lying on the ground.The turntable was a short and poor-looking shaft reel with a diameter of two feet. Nine clusters of iron chains of considerable strength emanated vertically from the upper surface, and disappeared into the stone wall above the head.On the short and thin waist of the shaft, the nine chains are clearly separated and coiled in a stack from top to bottom, with a hideous appearance and a very ugly appearance.Of course, this thing doesn't need a blind date, and it doesn't matter if it's ugly.

You can see the clues if you look closely.The nine strands of chains are respectively wound outside the nine sub-axes that are sheathed side by side on the outside of the shaft. The poor female shaft itself is quite short and poor, and it was split into pieces by these black sheep. Nine, you can imagine how short and poor each one is.In addition, a very thick handle extends from the center of the female reel, and pokes into a matching long shaft on the stone wall above the head. It seems that there is a place on the corresponding ground to exert force.

Liu Changzhou grabbed one of the chains with one hand, and hung upside down in mid-air to see the finer structure. This really revealed the doorway—the gap between the female reel and the nine sub-reels is full of fine details. Fine and dense sawtooth, those sawtooth is the shape of a small slope in one direction, the direction of the slope on the mother shaft reel and the sub-shaft reel is opposite to each other, so that the relative sliding between the mother shaft reel and the sub-shaft reel can only be towards one direction. direction.

These sawtooths confirmed his idea that the sliding of the nine sub-axis reels did not interfere with each other, which allowed the salt boiling tanks behind the nine doors on the ground to be lowered below the ground independently of each other.And when the chains are contracted in the opposite direction to raise these salt cooking tanks, due to the interfitting between the saw teeth, the nine sub-axis reels can only rotate with the rotation of the mother shaft reels, so that all the salt cooking tanks can be simultaneously Restore.

In other words, as long as the mother shaft reel rotates in the opposite direction, it can drive the lifting carriers of the nine salt cooking tanks at the same time.

Right now, only eight of the nine chains are stretched straight, and one is still very slack, corresponding to the one that Liu Changzhou destroyed.

Liu Changzhou rubbed his chin and walked around the female reel, feeling that even if he had ten more hands, he might not be able to push the reel.This kind of monster needs at least a hundred people to handle it.

Are these people idle?He Yun went through the whole "Conjugate Yin-Yang Pass", and a very ugly "Mother and Child Shaft" appeared in the Black Salt Workshop. Are these people just thinking about how to have a high IQ with their superiors all day long? Gotta hide and seek?

Since the group of them came to Huarong, he has been doing somersaults in various institutions that he has never seen before almost every day.This kind of fucking experience often made him dumbfounded, as if a person's life suddenly became a contest with dead things.He wondered if one day these cold, iron guys would exist in the world beyond human will. When people can no longer control these crystallizations of wisdom, who else can play the role of a guard and help the building? Yu Jiangqian?

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps from the direction of the cave entrance that ordinary people would not notice if they didn't pay attention. When Liu Changzhou turned around, he felt that his waist had become thicker again—Fang Bingbi and Guan Yuge, the officers and soldiers were like gods. The soldiers descended from the sky, and they appeared in the field of vision very miraculously.

There is no need to guess, it must be Lu Hanzhang's great achievements.

Some people exist purely to make people look up to, such as Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi; some people exist to make people think about the world, such as Guan Ziwei Yang;

People like Lu Hanzhang are purely for being loved without limit.

There are so many people that you can easily do everything.

Liu Changzhou took the time to give Lu Hanzhang a "I can't love you more" look, bent his thumb to the ground and made a "wait for me" gesture, then turned around and made simple gestures to deploy.The surrounding situation became clear. All the soldiers with sharp knives were looking for hiding places around the salt boiling tank, clinging to the carrier of the lifting salt boiling tank. After a while of orderly arrangements, everything returned to silence.

After a while, there was a very short but extremely sharp sound from the ground, and then there was a very loud footsteps from far and near above the head, which seemed to be gathered directly above the mother shaft reel, and the connection between the mother shaft reel and the Visible tremors are visible to the naked eye on the thick handle of the ceiling, and there is a slight knocking sound from the interlocking teeth between the mother reel and the sub reel, echoing in the basement of the one-way exit, like a hibernating monster There is an ignorant nasal sound when he is about to wake up.

Then, the originally tight eight thick chains began to slowly move downwards, the main shaft reel was firmly stuck on the sub-axis reel and began to rotate in the opposite direction, and the chains wrapped around the sub-axis reel began to circle around There were sounds of iron objects rubbing against the gravel ground in different directions, and at the same time, the surrounding lifting carriers tremblingly left the ground.

Lu Hanzhang leaned on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave with his hands folded, watching the group of people, like a group of spiders, clinging to the bottom of the mutant furnace with the help of a pair of iron claws in his hand, and being carried into the air like human-shaped bacon.When they were about to reach the ground, almost all the people turned over in mid-air by one side of the furnace in unison, and swiftly crossed the large gap between the lifting carrier and the ground, and disappeared.When the gap was about to close, Liu Changzhou, who had been standing very calmly by the side of the reel, instantly jumped up, his flexible waist cut an afterimage in the air, passed over deftly, and the gap disappeared without a trace trace.

He twirled the slingshot in his hand, waiting for a sound.

In the entire basement, there is only the mother-in-law reel like the big spider left. If Xiaohong saw it, she might use it as an ancient ancestor to pay homage to.In the quiet space where there is no one, the interlocking sawtooth between the mother and child reels retracts at the same time, and the outer sub-reels circle back to the original direction, and then the sawtooth reappears, ready for the next fall of the lifting carrier Prepare.

After this series of movements, Lu Hanzhang stood up straight, patted the soil on his back, crossed the creek leisurely, and left in an unknown direction.

On the ground, it is a different scene.The well-trained soldiers and the laborers who are always abused and whipped have a certain "one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer" mode of getting along with each other. It takes almost no effort, and all the laborers have already been captured.There were a lot of iron chains on the scene, so Fang Bingbi used local materials to buckle everyone's feet together, and a large group of people moved towards the exit spontaneously.

Liu Changzhou held his hand and Fang Bingbi followed the flow of people away. Fang Bingbi looked back at the crowd and said in a businesslike way: "Head, the secret letter just arrived this morning, the new grain ration The system has been selected to start trial implementation in Zhili, Gyeonggi, but there are some old bastards in the household department who are extremely stubborn, and the order has not been officially issued."

Liu Changzhou nodded, and said very calmly: "When you go back, send a letter to the emperor, saying that everything is business as usual, and those old bastards will have a good life in a few days. Ask him if he has any new candidates."

Fang Bingbi asked suspiciously: "Why, you plan to ask Boss Lu to take over?"

Liu Changzhou looked over and touched his chin: "My intentions are obvious?"

In fact, Liu Changzhou has always been hesitant about asking Lu Hanzhang to take part.He wanted them to share a mission with each other, so that even if he wasn't as powerful, at least their stance and starting point would always be the same.Since he likes this person, he naturally doesn't want to be separated from him.But he also knows Lu Hanzhang's temperament clearly, knowing that he is willing to help him to this point, almost entirely out of love for himself.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he is always unwilling to wrong him.

Liu Changzhou thought about it, if Lu Hanzhang was really allowed to go in and out of the palace from [-] to [-] every day, and in and out of military secrets, even if Lu Hanzhang didn't say anything on the surface, it was even less likely that he would see any clues, but he would feel better in his heart?

He shook his head, dismissing the thought.

He has always believed that no one is omnipotent, just like himself, he has many shortcomings, and he has always believed that this is a very normal thing.But right now he has a very strong desire - if he is really omnipotent, he no longer needs anyone's help, he can sweep thousands of troops by himself, as long as Lu Hanzhang... is safe and smooth all the time.

Weak stems can be destroyed, but slender stems are easy to mausoleum.

Why should it be thousands of feet, to cover the bright moon for the king.

"When will I be invincible?"

This kind of thinking was too unrealistic, so he just thought about it for a while, and felt that he was a bit cheap and hypocritical recently. He was a big man, and he was not young. The mind is rushing, becoming timid, worrying about gains and losses, and becoming nervous.

A group of people passed through the long passage with nine doors, and walked out of another door at the end of the passage. The field of vision suddenly widened, but... a group of people in sharp clothes stood in the wide field of vision.

His guess was really good. This cripple who appeared to be flashy on the surface actually had an armed force that could rival the officers and soldiers.Right now, the weapons of this group of people are not much worse than those of his side. Judging from this, Hu Lizi is planning to fight to the death, either to take a step back, or to die together.

That crippled man has a big posture, he looks like a half-paralyzed dementia, spread out on a master chair like a ball of mud, knocking on Erlang's legs, and his voice sounds like it always gives people goosebumps : "It was Hu's negligence to get to this point. A piece of mouse feces got mixed into his backyard, which attracted a bunch of government idiots. Hu put the words here first, or you will die today, or the bridge will return to the bridge." The way back to the way, Jinghe is innocent. I don't know what you think about it, my lords?"

Standing behind Lame Hu was a lean old man, with vicious eyes, sizing up everyone present like a tarsal maggot, with the corners of his mouth slightly downward, showing an extremely disdainful expression, silent Standing quietly on one side, the sense of presence is not strong, but the sense of pressure from the warriors around him is full.

Standing together with the old man, Cripple Hu explained very vividly what is meant by "a dog that bites does not bark".

Liu Changzhou sneered, did this person really think that all the people in the government were frightened?Who are you scaring?He flicked his sleeves very casually, and inserted a row of white knives into the green brick wall next to the cripple, and said with a smile: "Then let's see if you can step on your so-called 'government rice bucket'." I trampled you bunch of bedbugs to death. Have you ever heard that there are a bunch of people in the government, they step on the rivers and lakes with one foot, and the execution ground with the other?"

The conflict between the two parties was on the verge of breaking out, and Hu Lizi had a sense of superiority from the sky, and said with a sinister smile: "Okay, the discussion has collapsed. Then there is no other way, just to start a meal for the brothers."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bad old man behind him suddenly attacked, perhaps out of the warrior's intuition, he immediately identified Liu Changzhou as the most difficult person in the enemy's hands, and came directly to him.

However, all this restlessness was still in its infancy, and before it could break out of the shell, it was suddenly interrupted by the next dramatic mutation—an arrow whose tail was still trembling came from nowhere, from where The old man's heart pierced straight in, with such a domineering momentum. After passing through the old man's back heart, he pierced into the eyes of the cripple who was right behind him with a whistling all the way.

There was only a scream, and the cripple who was so awesome before slipped down and rolled on the ground into a colorful plate of fried rice with eggs.

Liu Changzhou: "..."

He held back several times, but finally couldn't hold it back, turned around and pointed at the roof behind him, and said helplessly, "Can you change the place for your next long-distance strike, and don't keep picking people's eyes?" The pampering in the tone almost made Fang Bingbi on the side run away, and the bear man thought silently, this person will probably be the wife of his leader in the future...well.

How fortunate, even though the people he met did not possess world-class martial arts, even though they were often chased by death threats, they were still so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at the rolling waves of the years.He may have had a very difficult past, but now there is no bitterness, hatred, let alone the so-called self-abandonment. Wherever he goes, he interprets a sentence-to realize the past is not to warn, and to know the future is to pursue.

A group of people looked up and saw a man in white standing on the ridge on the opposite side, holding a bow firmly in his hand, and said calmly: "It's purely slippery, so don't dislike it. Hey You can thank me, at least I have left you alive."

Everyone:"……"

It's so cheap, the two of them flirted shamelessly.

This contest, which was originally evenly matched, took a turn for the worse in an instant, and turned into a play that seemed to be a joke, and it ended casually.After the lame Hu was tied up, all the evidence of correspondence between him and the senior officials of the household department was found in his house, and they were handed over to his subordinates to send back to the capital. For those two flea-like thieves—Liu Tong and Xu Fu, Liu Changzhou thought of a very bad idea.

When he turned around, he found that Lu Hanzhang was still standing on the ridge of the roof as before, and he didn't seem to have moved.He asked strangely: "Don't go? Standing so high, how far do you want to urinate?" As soon as the words fell, a stone brushed past his ear and hit the bluestone slab on one side, conveying the truth simply and rudely. People are angry with him.

Lu Hanzhang spread his hands helplessly, and said as a matter of course: "The ladder fell when I came up, can you come up and pick me up?"

Liu Changzhou suppressed his laughter, and said contemptuously: "...see if you can jump down by yourself if you have the ability."

Lu Hanzhang: "..."

For Xu Fu and Liu Tong, Liu Changzhou's bad idea is this - he asked someone to strip off the two bastards, and used a knife to make countless very small and very shallow wounds on the surface of the skin, and each cut was basically not too big pain.After scratching from the neck to the feet like this, he asked someone to kick the two of them into Jinglun's lotus pond, so as to give them a salt water bath.

Fang Bingbi covered his ears and yelled at Liu Changzhou: "Boss, isn't this a bit inhumane?"

While applying medicine to himself, Liu Changzhou said coolly: "Humanity? Go to the street and look at the necks of those people wearing grizzled clothes. The reason for their appearance is that there is no salt in the dishes. Why? This group of villains has been detained. You go ask these two people, why don't you treat the people more humanely?"

He raised his head and planned to watch the two fat pigs floating in the lotus pond. He caught Fang Bingbi's blushing face inadvertently and asked, "What's the matter, have you been drinking?"

Fang Bingbi cleared his throat uncomfortably, and said coyly, "Then what... Changbin is here."

Happy Dragon Boat Festival~~

Here is an explanation of salt and thick neck disease-in fact, it is hyperthyroidism, hyperthyroidism, which is caused by long-term iodine deficiency.I take it for granted here, because adding iodine to salt is something that only happened in modern times, and people in Daqing generally live a relatively long-term life...
