The Golden County Magistrate

Just in front of the mountain road at Tang Yun's feet, there is a wooden staircase leading directly to the stone road down the mountain.

What made Tang Yun unable to remain calm was that the wooden staircase was moving. Several people were standing on it, and they were transported to the bottom of the mountain by the staircase without taking any steps.

"What is that?"

Tang Yun stared, as if afraid that she couldn't see clearly, so she lifted her veil and looked carefully again, and found that it was not a dazzle.

"Yes, yes, it is a moving staircase!" Qing Yuan opened her beautiful eyes wide in shock and murmured.

Tang Yun snorted coldly. Didn't she know that it was a moving staircase?

The question is, why did the staircase move?

The best way to find out is to experience it yourself.

"Let's go down there too."

Qing Yuan was a little anxious when he heard it, "Your Majesty, no, Master, it's better to send someone to figure it out first."

"It doesn't matter, the people in front went up and down the mountain from the stairs, didn't they have any problems?" Tang Yun waved his hand.

Seeing this, Qing Luan and others did not dare to stop them.

When the group came to the front, Tang Yun found that there were actually two moving stairs.

One for going up and one for going down, both of which were fixed on a gentle slope.

In fact, the height of up and down is not very high, but if there is this moving staircase, it is indeed much more convenient.

The stairs do not move fast, and people can step on them easily.

Tang Yun and others stepped on the stairs in the direction of going down the mountain, stood on it, and slowly went down, which made people marvel.

"Interesting! I just don't know where the power comes from?"

Tang Yun has read all kinds of books since he was a child, and he knows that if this staircase moves by itself, it must need power. Where the power comes from is the key.

Soon, several people came to the bottom of the slope and stood on the wide stone road.

"Boss, look there..."

Qing Yuan looked around and pointed to a place not far away.

Following where Qing Yuan pointed, you can see several huge wheels standing on both sides of the turbulent river below the mountain.

The wheels are as high as two-story houses and are constantly turning, looking very majestic and spectacular.

"Are you new here? I don't need to ask. Judging from your appearance, it should be your first time in Qingshan County."

A man dressed as a Da Zhou yamen runner, with a saber on his waist, walked over slowly.

Because their attention was on the strange scenery around them, someone suddenly approached, making Qing Yuan and several Fengling Guards nervous.

Looking over, they saw that it was a yamen runner, and they were relieved.

Yamen runners, most of them are from Qingshan County.

This place should be the entrance road to Qingshan County. It is not strange to have yamen runners around.

"It turns out to be the yamen runner!" Qing Yuan bowed to the other party.

After the yamen runner approached, he looked at the few people and found that they were all women. He was a little surprised. He was even more surprised to see that some of the women were wearing swords on their waists.

There are not many women wearing swords in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is even rarer in Qingshan County, which is located in the valley.

Although it is rare, it is not a big deal.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is still headed by a female emperor. This is the first time in history that a woman is carrying a sword on her hip and traveling around the world. It is not a big deal.

"Ladies, please take a look at the pass." The yamen runner clasped his fists in return.

Qing Yuan took out the pass that had been prepared long ago and handed it to the yamen runner.

The yamen runner took a quick look and saw that there was no problem with the identities of the few people, so he returned it.

"Looking at your clothes, are you traveling around the world?" The yamen runner asked.

"Doing some small business, carrying weapons for self-defense." Qing Yuan replied.

"Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are interested in escalators?"

The yamen runner smiled and spoke, and he could clearly feel the pride in his words.

"Indeed, can you tell me about it?" Tang Yun nodded and couldn't help asking.

"Miss, you are too polite. This escalator, I am not exaggerating, I am afraid there is only this one in the whole Great Zhou."

"Look at the big water wheels at the foot of the mountain. It can do many things with the power of water flow."

"These two escalators are made with the help of water wheels."

Tang Yun looked back at the escalator, and then turned his head to look at the water wheels far below the mountain, with a little surprise in his eyes.

This is quite interesting.

"Moreover, because of the existence of water wheels, the few farmlands in Qingshan County have never lacked water, and people don't need to go to wells and rivers to irrigate, and the water can flow into every household by itself. When needed, just open your own valve."

The yamen runner continued to introduce with a proud face.

Tang Yun was shocked, with an expression of disbelief under her veil.

From what he meant, the people of Qingshan County, whether they were people in the city or farmers outside the city, did not need to carry water for farm irrigation or domestic use?This simply overturned her cognition.

Even in the palace, all kinds of water use required servants to fetch water from the well.

In a small county town, water is more convenient than in the palace?

Qing Yuan didn't quite believe it.

Because Tang Yun was not used to eunuchs, she was basically responsible for Tang Yun's daily life.

If she was free, she would serve her in person.

She knew very well that water was also fetched in the palace.

This was the case all over the world, so why was it different in Qingshan County?

And with that big wheel, water could be brought into thousands of households?

"You are joking, brother."

The yamen runner smiled faintly, as if he had known that these people would not believe it.

"If you go into the city, you will know it at a glance."

"By the way, you nobles can call me Wang Dazhu."

Wang Dazhu had some eyesight and had long seen that these people were not ordinary peasant women in terms of clothing and temperament, and their backgrounds were definitely not low.

If I serve you well, I might make a fortune today.

"If you don't mind, I can act as a guide and introduce Qingshan County to you."

Tang Yun sneered in his heart. No wonder this guy was so enthusiastic. It turned out that he was trying to make money.

It seems that the magistrate of Qingshan County is not strict with his subordinates.

Yamen runners are not officials appointed by the court, but they are errands of the court.

How can they seek personal gain during their tenure?

From this, we can also see what the atmosphere of the Qingshan County Yamen is like.

I'm afraid that the magistrate of Qingshan County is definitely not an upright person.

Just now, I thought that this person was quite talented to be able to make such a strange thing as a waterwheel.

Now it seems that it's just so-so.

Thinking about it, Tang Yun found Qing Yuan looking at him, so he nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Qing Yuan took out a few pieces of silver and handed them to Wang Dazhu, "In that case, thank you for your help."

Wang Dazhu happily took the silver and said, "Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask me. I will make sure your money is not wasted. There are many interesting places in Qingshan County."
