After reading this paragraph, Yang Yuanwai immediately believed five points, because Yang Xiaoyi's father had asserted that the secret of this Tang knife forging must be in the materials.

After reading the letter, Yang Yuanwai's heart has disappeared a lot, and he has caused so many things recently, isn't it just for this secret recipe, and now he has obtained the secret recipe, if the secret recipe is true, that Zhuangzi ...... Alas! At least it's better than giving it away for nothing! ……

Yang Yuanwai, who was in a better mood, thought that things were naturally not extreme, he looked at the housekeeper who was kneeling on the ground, his face was full of sadness (fear), and remembered that this old servant of the Yang family had been loyal and diligent all his life, and a trace of guilt suddenly rose in his heart, and he hurriedly helped the other party up, and said: "I was angry with you just now, but I was anxious and wronged you." ”

Steward Yang also reacted quickly, and suddenly looked grateful to Dade, and even said "Don't be wronged......".

Yang Yuanwai was anxious to verify whether the secret recipe mentioned in the letter was true at this time, and he didn't care about comforting his housekeeper more, so he left Yang's mansion in a hurry.

Of course Steward Yang won't, and he doesn't dare to let go of this opportunity to perform, if the outsiders think that he really has grievances, then his good life will be overturned.

So he also got up from the ground, followed Yang Yuan out of the Yang Mansion and went straight to the Yang family's military village.

When he came to the Yang family's military village, Yang Yuanwai summoned a few trustworthy old blacksmiths in the Yang family's workshop and read Chen Xian's letter to them.

The method of annealing is not complicated, these craftsmen are all veterans, and they understand it as soon as they hear it, and several people immediately follow the method mentioned in Chen Xianxin's letter to find a few pieces of carbon smelted pig iron and anneal.

It took a few hours, and after annealing, the blacksmiths tried it and found that after the pig iron was annealed, it really became hot forging.

A few days later, a rough but sharper hand knife that was not inferior to the Tang knife forged by Chen Xian appeared in Yang Yuanwai's hand.

After trying the knife, Yang Yuanwai couldn't help laughing, with this craft, the Yang family of Dongzhuangzi is the next Yidu Yang family, the so-called no agriculture is not stable, no business is not rich, the Yidu Yang family can dominate the Yidu Mansion, relying on the monopoly of the saddle business on Shandong East Road.

With this Tang knife, as long as the Tang knife business is bigger, the Yang family of Dongzhuangzi can be like the Yidu Yang family, relying on the rolling wealth obtained by business, raising a strong team of generals, and when the time comes, it is not a matter of course to destroy the Bai family and dominate the East Zhuangzi.

Just when Yang Yuanwai was holding a hand knife with infinite longing, Bai Yuanwai in Baifu was also holding a similar hand knife, his face was full of surprise, and he looked at the broken copper coins scattered on the ground with three puzzles.

It turned out that while Chen Xian gave the secret of the forging of the Tang knife to Yang Yuanwai, he also gave the forging secret of the Tang knife to Bai Yuanwai in the name of thanking him for helping to build Zhuangzi.

Speaking of Bai Yuanwai, he was also a little anxious during this time, he and Yang Yuanwai hired Orion to attack Chen Xian, but he didn't expect these Orions to hit the iron plate headlong and suffered heavy casualties.

People are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and the toughness of Chen Xian's subordinates made these hunters not have the courage to take revenge, so these hunters targeted Yang Yuanwai and Bai Yuanwai who hired them.

During this time, the Bai family has not been able to receive the mountain goods in the hands of the hunters, this is still a trivial matter, a few days ago the Bai family set up, not only did not usher in the hunters to trade, but was attacked by a group of hunters, and many people died.

This group of hunters is scattered in the mountains, and Bai Yuanwai has no choice but to spend money to eliminate disasters like Yang Yuanwai.

In order to appease this group of lawless hunters, Bai Zhiwai suffered a lot of losses.

Now that he has received the forging secret of this Tang Dao, Bai Yuanwai's heart has only been a little more balanced.

Why did Chen Xian send out the Tang Dao forging secret at this time? The reason is simple, it's about buying time.

Since the Yang family and the Bai family covet this Tang knife forging secret, then give it to them and let him achieve his goal, plus Chen Xian has already revealed his minions, the Yang and Bai families should be able to stop for a while. Until they found out that even if they got the forging secret of the Tang Knife, it would still be useless, but that would definitely be a few months later.

……

After Chen Xian changed all the roofs of the new Zhuangzi, he did not extinguish the brick kiln, and he began to let the brick kiln turn to produce bricks.

In addition to producing bricks, Chen Xian also used the brick kiln to try to do some experiments, which he hoped would lead to the creation of a product that was extremely important to him.

After the house was replaced, Chen Xian announced to the apprentices that they could bring their families to live in Zhuangzi, and that if they were willing to come, each apprentice could be given a tiled house and a three-percent rent of two acres of land in Botian.

Although the rent of 30% is very cheap compared to the rent of more than 50% in Dongzhuangzi, the more than 100 acres of land in Chen Xian's hands are all new fields, and the yield is not high, and the two acres of land cannot feed people.

Although the houses in the new Zhuangzi are tiled houses, they are not comfortable to live in at all, these houses are all poured out of a mold, five meters wide and ten meters deep, with an attic, which is very cramped for the farmers of this era.

Moreover, because the windows at the back could not be opened, there was little light in the second house, and the light source from the attic skylight was very dim, and it was lit by a fireplace fireplace.

Therefore, in the end, only more than 20 families were willing to move over, all of whom were the poorest tenants of the Yang family.

The land rented by these poor tenants to the Yang family was very remote, and they lived in Xinzhuangzi, which was closer to their own fields than living in Dongzhuangzi, and there were two acres of land to rent, which was also a big supplement.

Although Chen Xian's house is cramped, fortunately, it does not leak wind and rain, and there is a fire pit for heating, which is much stronger than the thatched hut that some people live in.

After these more than 20 families came, Chen Xian immediately hired more than 30 strong laborers from these more than 20 households at the price of five buckets of wheat in a month.

Five buckets in a month, six stones a year, six stones of grain, almost barely enough to feed a family of three.

Rent ten acres of good land, the family works hard, works all year round, and God has to be beautiful, so that a dozen stones of grain can be dropped, so that a family of five has food and clothing.

Now a strong laborer works outside Chen Yuan, five buckets in January, and it is a hair in January, unlike farming, not to mention that you can only see it in the coming year, and you have to look at the sky for the abundance.

His own children are apprentices to Chen Yuanwai, and they also have an income of five buckets of wheat in a month, plus two acres of thin rented land, which is enough to support the family and have a surplus.

Moreover, Chen Yuanwai also said that the purpose of hiring them is to open a new field, which is not something that can be achieved in a few months, and this is a long-term livelihood.

As soon as the tenants who moved to the Chen family calculated, some people simply rented the Yang family's land and sublet part of it to relatives and friends, and concentrated on working for Chen Yuanwai to earn food.
