Chapter 50: Commencement
After seeing Chen Xian, Steward Yang even gave him a look.
Chen Xian excused himself for not being clear, and asked the apprentice to take Chen Laojia to the study to prepare paper and ink, and he would go over to draw it for him later.
The apprentice took Chen Laojia away, and Steward Yang hurriedly told Chen Xian about Yang Yuanwai's sneer.
After listening to this, Chen Xian asked about the scene at that time, and said: "Steward Yang doesn't have to worry, Yang Yuanwai sneered at my Zhuangzi design drawing, eighty percent of what is wrong with my Zhuangzi's drawing, it must not be aimed at you, if he is suspicious of you, how can he show it so obviously, although Yang Yuanwai is a martial artist, he is not even a little bit of the city." ”
After listening to Chen Xian's analysis, Steward Yang thought about it carefully, and felt that it was very reasonable, with Yang Yuanwai's character, if he had any doubts about him, Bacheng would directly take the torture, and if he wanted to endure it, he would not reveal such an obvious flaw.
He is also a fan of the authorities, and if he cares, he will be chaotic, otherwise he would not even be able to understand such a simple truth.
Thinking like this, Steward Yang put his mind at ease, left Chen Laojia, and left.
After sending off Steward Yang, Chen Xian came to the study, painted while talking, and explained all the details of this Zhuangzi to Chen Laojia in detail.
Among them, Chen Xian focused on explaining his requirements for the waterwheel, such as the central axis of the waterwheel must be made of cast iron, and the base and bearing of the shaft must also be cast iron, in order to gather the water flow and increase the power of the waterwheel, he also asked to build a low dam on the Beigou River to gather the water flow.
And Chen Laojia's most questionable question is about the strange building in the center of Zhuangzi.
In order to explain the structure of the building, Chen Xian took out several scale-down models made of clay, including several models with sections, to show Chen Laojia the structure of the building.
However, for the question that Chen Laojia asked the most, Chen Xian always talked about him left and right.
The question Chen Laojia asks the most is, of course, what is this strange building for?
……
Unknowingly, Chen Xian has been coming to Dongzhuangzi for more than half a year, and when he came, there was still some spring cold, and now it is late autumn.
Chen Xian used the excuse that money was expensive and grain was cheap, and asked the Yang family and the Bai family to switch to grain to pay the bills.
For big landlords and big grain households like the Bai family and the Yang family, grain is not a scarce material, and the new grain has just come down, and the two warehouses with a lot of grain can't fit it, so naturally they don't mind exchanging grain for Tang Dao.
……
Half a month later, the sowing of wheat has been completed, and it is about to enter the winter, and Dongzhuangzi has also entered the slack season, and Chen Xian's new Zhuangzi has also started at this time.
Chen Xian did not personally participate in the construction of Zhuangzi, he only did two things.
First, find someone to make a few mud stoves in the backyard of the shop, and hire some family members from the apprentice's family to bake the cakes all day long.
The second thing was to send some apprentices to live on the construction site in turn as overseers.
He asked these apprentices to keep an eye on the project, so as not to be unknowingly left behind or something, and at the same time observe and learn some methods of engineering construction, and record them and return them to him.
In addition, he also gave these young apprentices a right, that is, they could decide the Hu cakes sent from Chen's shop to add food to the team according to the progress and quality of the project and the work of each contracting team.
Chen Xian's idea was to "work on the road", and he asked Chen Laojia to divide his craftsmen into several teams, one person was responsible for a section, started work separately, went hand in hand, and finally closed the project to increase efficiency.
Chen Xian himself stayed in the blacksmith shop and trained the new apprentices from the Bai family with all his heart.
Because of the old apprentices, this batch of new apprentices learned faster than the old apprentices, and it only took more than a month to start producing Tang Dao.
Similarly, because of the influence of the old apprentices, the brainwashing effect of the new apprentices is faster and better.
In just over a month, four undercover agents who were tasked with stealing crafts, including Bai Anfu's own grandson, were successfully brainwashed and took the initiative to find Chen Xian to admit his special mission.
For these four undercover agents, Chen Xian took the same approach as the undercover agents of the Yang family, expressed his understanding very generously, and told these teenagers that they didn't have to hide anything for him, just tell the Bai family about the techniques he taught, and the more detailed they said, the more others couldn't practice the treasure knife.
After that, Chen Xian also opened a small pot of brainwashing for several people......
……
The news from Yang's family that Yang Yuanwai was going to repair Zhuangzi for Chen Xian made Bai Yuanwai a little confused, and he didn't know what medicine Yang Yuanwai had taken wrong.
After thinking about it, Bai Yuanwai simply asked Zhao Qufei to go to see Yang Yuanwai and ask the matter clearly.
Since he knew that Chen Erleifa was powerful, in the eyes of Bai Yuanwai, this outsider had changed from fat to poisoned fat.
Since he couldn't eat it, the contradiction between him and Yang Yuanwai on this Chen Er was alleviated.
Hearing that Zhao Qufei asked to see him, Yang Yuanwai thought about it for a while, and decided to put aside his hatred for the time being, and discuss the matter of Chen Er with the Bai family.
If Chen Er's martial arts are strong, Yang Yuanwai is not afraid, and no matter how good he is a martial arts master, he can't stand dozens of soldiers rushing up, after all, people only have one pair of hands, and martial arts can't stand attacks from all directions.
But this illusory thunder method made Yang Yuanwai a little worried.
Although the Bai family is an enemy, the two Baiyang families have been fighting for more than a hundred years, and there are more new and old hatreds, and they don't care about a few more, and the two families have been fighting for so many years, it can be said that they know each other and know each other, and they all know that the other party has nothing to do with themselves for a while.
But this will Lei Fa's Chen Er is different, since this Lei Fa is seriously injured (the two generals who were hit in the shoulder by a rifle, one of them is dead, and the other is seriously injured, with the medical conditions of this era, there is little hope of survival, only Yang Hong is lucky, but a rib was broken by a bullet that grazed the ribs, and the injury is not serious,), then how far can this thing hit, not to mention much, as long as it can hit a hundred steps away, then unless he Yang Yuan will not even go out of the yard in the future, it will be equivalent to handing over life and death to Chen Er, How does this work?
I guess the white staff has the same worries, right? In this case, how to deal with Chen Er is not a matter for Yang Yuan alone, and the Bai family must also work hard.
Under such thoughts, Yang Yuanwai met Zhao Qufei.
Neither of them is stupid, especially Zhao Qufei, who is even smarter, after some temptation, they both understood each other's purpose, and after that, the two confessed to each other what happened to their respective people that night.
After listening to what happened to the other party, there is both good news and bad news for both sides.
For Yang Yuanwai, the good news is that Chen Er didn't use the thunder method at the beginning, and it seems that this thunder method is not used casually, otherwise if Chen Er uses the thunder method from the beginning, the people found by the Bai family probably won't even be able to enter the Chen family's courtyard.
The bad news is that Chen Er not only knows Lei Fa, but also has first-class archery skills (Liu Dangjia's subordinates also used the crossbow arrows shot by Chen Xian with the big black eagle as a bow and arrow), and more people were killed by him that night than Lei Fa.
Of course, although archery is at the top of the martial arts of the Cold Weapon Era, it is nothing compared to Lei Fa.
For Zhao Qufei, the good news is that Chen Er's thunder law does not die if he touches it, and there are times when he can't kill people, and the bad news is that the thunder law can be issued in a moment, and there is no need to open the altar, which is terrible.
