Two days later, in the evening, Steward Yang took a hat and two cronies and secretly came to Chen Xian's blacksmith shop.

After meeting with Chen Xian, Steward Yang said: "After returning from you the day before yesterday, I went to see the staff and relayed your request to the staff to help you build a new Zhuangzi, after speaking, I suggested to him according to what you said, you are very powerful, and staying in the Zhuangzi is also a disaster, in case you have bad intentions, maybe it will endanger the Yang family, and you are hiding in the blacksmith shop, it is not easy to deal with, it is better to deceive you in the name of the new Zhuangzi, and find a way to ...... you on the road will take you down. ”

"After listening to my words, the staff seemed to be a little tempted, and I persuaded him according to what you taught......"

"I said, anyway, sooner or later a Zhuangzi will be built in the north, otherwise the newly opened fields there are too far away from the Zhuangzi to be cultivated, and there are many rivers in the north, which can open up a lot of water to irrigate the land, and if a Zhuangzi is built there, at least a few thousand acres of good land can be newly opened...... Why don't we kill three birds with one stone this time, and let Chen Er exchange the secret technique of Tang Dao for a new Zhuangzi......"

"After listening to my idea, the staff slapped his thigh and praised me for paying attention......"

This set of rhetoric is the reason why Chen Xian came up with the reason to persuade Yang Yuanwai to agree to help him repair Zhuangzi.

To tell the truth, the attack the night before yesterday was not a bad thing for Chen Xian, this attack not only allowed Chen Xian to show his strength, but also made the Poplar family think that they would do something and suppress the two families who were about to move.

At that time, in the face of Yang Hong's provocation, the reason why Chen Xian was so impulsive was not really impulsive, he was actually wasting precious bullets in order to show his semi-automatic power in front of the Yang family, otherwise he would definitely be reluctant to waste a rifle bullet with one less than a life and death moment.

In fact, even if this invasion did not occur, Chen Xian would have found a way to take the initiative to show the power of the rifle, and only in this way could his plan of coercing and luring Yang Yuan and cultivating Zhuangzi for himself be possible.

Thinking so, Chen Xian listened to Steward Yang say again, "The staff told me to come to you tomorrow and let me bring you a message, he agreed to help you build a new Zhuangzi, but in exchange for your Tang Dao forging technique." ”

"I'll talk to you tonight and see what you have to say."

After listening to Steward Yang, Chen Xian thought for a while and said to the door: "Guard! ”

A half-grown child's special voice came from outside the door: "Report! ”

Chen Xian said: "Go and make a cup of tea for Steward Yang." ”

"Yes!" Footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Chen Xian had a more kind smile on his face, he pointed to the chair, and said to Steward Yang, "Butler, please take a seat." ”

Steward Yang sat down cautiously.

Chen Xian was not in a hurry to get down to business, he asked with a smile, "Isn't the housekeeper unwilling to see me?" How did you figure it out this time? Come and ventilate me? ”

Steward Yang had an ugly smile on his face with self-deprecation and bitterness, "I've also figured it out in the past two days, the bigger the second brother, the bigger the enmity between you and the outsider, the more afraid I am, I know the temper of the outsider, if he knows what I did before, he ...... He can destroy my whole ......"

Saying this, Steward Yang couldn't help but shiver, and a look of horror leaked from his face.

When Chen Xian heard this, he smiled and said: "Butler, you are a smart person, as long as you cooperate well with a certain person, a certain person will naturally not embarrass the housekeeper, if Yang Yuanwai wants to be unfavorable to you, as long as you come to a certain door, a certain will definitely not sit idly by." ”

Steward Yang showed a smile that was more ugly than crying when he heard this......

Chen Xian asked Steward Yang a few more words, and then sent him back.

There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, Steward Yang really came to visit.

Chen Xian took out the design drawings that had been prepared a long time ago.

Steward Yang saw the Zhuangzi on the drawing, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although the detailed design content was too late to see, but the approximate scale of this Zhuangzi could be seen.

This is a square building, with a side length of about 50 steps (two spans are one step, one step is five feet, which is about 1.65 meters), and the whole Zhuangzi is surrounded by four rows of earthen houses. The doors and windows of the earthen house are all open inward, and the back wall of the earthen house is the wall of Zhuangzi.

All of the earthen houses are two-story attics, and on the back wall of the second floor of the attic, there are trapezoidal shooting holes with small inside and large outside, which are used to defend against foreign enemies.

There are four towering defensive towers at the four corners of Zhuangzi, and the position of these four towers protrudes beyond the wall, which can be condescending, and assist the defense of the four walls from the side.

The whole Zhuangzi sits in the north and faces south, and the Beigou River is located in the west of the Zhuangzi, next to the west wall of the Zhuangzi.

It is very common to build Zhuangzi along the river, which can not only ensure the water source, but also strengthen the defense of the riverside side.

What is strange is that on the west wall of Zhuangzi facing the river, there is a low waterwheel every few steps.

The waterwheel is not surprising, many mills in Zhuangzi, as long as there are conditions, will install waterwheels, but the waterwheels here are too dense, only more than 50 steps, even to build ten waterwheels.

What is even more strange is that in the middle of the Zhuangzi there is an inexplicable building, in the middle of this building is a hollow column, and at the base of the column surrounds a low circular building......

Other than that, there are no superfluous buildings inside and outside the Zhuangzi.

Seeing the scale of Zhuangzi, Steward Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that Chen Xian's lion would open his mouth, and he would be uncomfortable if he was caught in the middle.

As long as Zhuangzi's scale cost can be explained in the past, the rest is easy to say.

Steward Yang agreed to the construction plan without any objections.

After making a plan, Steward Yang pulled Chen Xian to ask for advice on the advantages of building Zhuangzi in this way, and then left with the drawings.

Back at Yang's house, the housekeeper took the design drawings and met Yang Yuanwai.

Looking at the Zhuangzi on the drawings and listening to Steward Yang's explanation, Yang Yuanwai couldn't help but admire, such a design seems simple, but in fact, the cost of an ordinary Zhuangzi with soil enclosures of the same scale is reduced by at least half.

Although the Yang family is only a rich man in the countryside, they really have more than 2,000 people under their hands, and building dozens of simple adobe thatched houses is really not a big project.

Moreover, in the process of looking at the drawings, Yang Yuan also found that this Zhuangzi had a fatal defensive weakness.

After reading the drawings, Yang Yuanwai sneered and nodded in agreement with the design plan.

Steward Yang held the drawings, and withdrew from the study outside the staff with the heart of being disturbed by the last sudden sneer of the outsider.

While thinking wildly, Steward Yang found Chen Laojia with the drawings in his arms.

He handed over the drawings to Chen Laojia, and took Chen Laojia to visit Chen Xian in Chen's shop with Chen Laojia by taking Chen Laojia to ask about the reason for the drawings.
