After this confrontation review, Chen Xian believed that the apprentices had laid a good foundation and had initially possessed combat effectiveness, so he strengthened some targeted training.

Chen Xian has made some plans for the apprentices to conduct drill-style training.

For example, he made several whistles with different timbres, and when he blew the whistles with different timbres, he asked the apprentices to respond according to different plans.

Patrols and guards during the day and at night were also arranged, and Chen Xian also formulated plans for different situations for the guards on duty at night, and issued different whistles, requiring them to blow different whistles according to different plans......

Chen Xian had long wanted to hang bells in the bushes outside the shop, but he soon found that this method was a bit difficult, the reason was very simple, all the bells in the grocery store in the entire Zhuangzi did not add up to a few, this thing itself was not a commonly used item, and some grocery stores did not have this thing at all, and even if there were, there were few stocks.

In desperation, Chen Xian could only do it himself, and he asked his blacksmiths to take the time to make some rough iron bells.

Although the sound of the iron bell is not good enough and crisp enough, it is enough to be used as an early warning for the periphery.

……

As the apprentices' craftsmanship got better and better, the production of katana swords became higher and higher, and the income of the blacksmith shop increased, Chen Xian's career seemed to be on the regular track and entered the fast lane.

But Chen Xian did not get carried away because of this, on the contrary, the prosperity of this kind of career made him anxious.

The biggest fight in Chen Xian's life was the time when he lost the job he had struggled for more than four years.

After graduating from university, Chen Xian's first job found a parts subsidiary of ZG Heavy Duty Truck, in this state-owned company, he worked diligently, solved problems for the leaders, and made friends with the leaders in life, and finally was appreciated and promoted, and stayed up to the middle level of the company in more than four years.

But just when he felt proud, he was framed by his boss who promoted him, and he was burdened with a big black cauldron, not only losing the position of deputy minister that he had not won easily, but also losing his job, and almost getting into a lawsuit.

This incident made Chen Xian understand one thing, huge interests are often accompanied by huge crises, when you feel that you have taken a big advantage, it is often when you have to suffer a big loss, how much benefit you have, what a terrible enemy you can bring.

As the apprentices' yield rate of katana swords continued to increase, after just over a month, the number of katana swords that Chen Xian handed over to Yang Yuanwai every month increased from ten to thirty.

These thirty katana swords are only one hundred and fifty yuan in Chen Xian's place, but in Yang Yuanwai's place, they will produce a huge benefit of more than seven hundred yuan.

In this era, even if the land is watered with good water, one acre will only produce more than one stone of wheat, and even if one season of beans or hemp is planted after the wheat harvest, the income is only equivalent to two stones of wheat at most.

One stone of wheat is worth just over three times, that is to say, the katana produced by Chen Xian's blacksmith shop can bring the output value of 100 acres of farmland in a month, and it is more than 1,000 acres in a year!

This wealth is a huge fortune even for the Yang family.

However, in order to maintain his own healthy development and realize some of his ideas, Chen Xian had to maintain an output of thirty handfuls.

Such a large fortune, in Chen Xian's view, is like blood in the sea, which will attract sharks sooner or later, although the Yang family is not afraid of sharks, he is a blacksmith with no roots, and he is afraid that he will become the target of sharks.

In this era of lawlessness, being targeted by sharks is probably not as simple as losing your job and carrying a black pot.

It was precisely because of this worry that Chen Xian settled everything after the blacksmith shop was on the right track, and left Dongzhuangzi under the pretext of going to Linqu to look for relatives.

Of course, Chen Xian couldn't have relatives in Linqu, and he planned to go back to the place where he had hidden the pickup truck to bring back the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and more than 30 rounds of ammunition.

In this day and age, this semi-automatic firearm is definitely an artifact, provided that there are bullets, of course.

In addition to this semi-automatic rifle, there are many spare tool parts in the toolbox of the pickup truck, and Chen Xian plans to see if there is anything that can be used.

After settling everything, this morning, as soon as the gate of East Zhuangzi was opened, Chen Xian went out of Zhuangzi and entered the mountain along the path that escorted the Lu family lady to East Zhuangzi that day, and walked quietly without alarming anyone.

Revisiting the old land, this time Chen Xian walked much easier than last time, not only did he not have food last time, but he also had to go to great lengths to protect the three of the Lu family's mother and son, in addition to trying to find a way to fill his stomach, he also had to be responsible for the rations of the Lu family's mother and son, and he walked very hard.

This time, Chen Xian brought enough food and set out on the road alone, and in just three days, he passed through this mountainous area and came to the valley west of Linqu again.

After going up the mountain, he followed the markers and quickly found the pickup truck that he had hidden.

Removed from the pickup truck, this car, which was originally eighty percent new, now looks a little decrepit.

Opening the car door, Chen Xian flipped open the rear seat and took out a fishing gear backpack containing five or six semi-automatics.

Opening the package, the five-black barrel and the bright yellow body appeared in front of Chen Xian.

Seeing this gun, Chen Xian seemed to have gained the backbone of the heart all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and couldn't help kissing the barrel of the gun and muttering: "My beauty, it's up to you!" ”

It was not until this moment, holding the semi-automatic in his arms, that Chen Xian finally had a sense of superiority belonging to the traverser in his heart.

In the past, even if he held a sharp sword and wore armor, when facing the natives, not only did he not have a sense of superiority, but there was a hesitation and fear of an unaccompanied foreigner facing the natives.

Holding the semi-automatic rifle and admiring it for a while, Chen Xian put it back into the fishing gear backpack and carried it behind his back.

With the rifle on his back, Chen Xian lay down in front of the toolbox, carefully fiddling with the messy things in the box, looking for useful things.

In addition to various wrenches for car repair, some spare bolts and nuts, the toolbox also contains a multi-functional sapper shovel, a small axe, a hand saw, a tape measure, a set of drivers, several different types of pliers, a spare box of lighters, a spare flashlight, a few spare batteries, and a field canvas backpack.

These things are all spare tools when Chen Xian takes people into the mountains and camps.

Chen Xian picked and chosen, and finally put the handsaw and a few spare saw blades, a tape measure, a lighter, some bolts and nuts, and various wrenches into the field canvas backpack.

That hand saw can be used to see steel bars, and it will definitely be used in the future, and the lighter is also an artifact in this era. Bolts and nuts, as well as wrenches, Chen Xian plans to try to see if they can be transformed into taps and dies, which can be used as a mother machine for making bolts and nuts in this era.

Among these things, Chen Xian values the box ruler the most, don't look at this box ruler is just a rough and common measuring tool in modern times, but in this era, his accuracy is absolutely unique.

With this box ruler, Chen Xian can use it as a standard to make a unified measuring tool and unify the measuring tool standards of his apprentices.

After rummaging through the toolbox for a while, Chen Xian closed the back seat with some disappointment, there are not many useful things, what he needs is something that can be used as a mother machine to improve the level of craftsmanship in this era.
