Huang Hao listened to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, and was immediately shocked, Gao Huaiyuan's appetite was really big, he actually wanted to do the business to the Tubo tribes, and he had to find a way to resell the horses from Tubo, but Huang Hao is also a person who likes to have challenges, Gao Huaiyuan's appetite is big, and it just meets his pursuit, after listening, Huang Hao immediately stood up and replied: "The little one obeys the order, and the little one will arrange the things here after the year, and then go to Chengdu, but whether he can meet the requirements of the young master, the little one doesn't dare to pack the ticket now, But the little one will definitely work hard, please rest assured that the young master will do it! ”

Gao Huaiyuan nodded with satisfaction, he just valued Huang Hao's courage to accept the challenge, and he also knew that it would be difficult to do this, if he didn't have a little courage, he would probably not be able to do it at all if he ran to Chengdu, which was also the main reason why he and Huang Zhen chose Huang Hao in the first place.

"Even if you let it go, money is not a problem for us now, money can make the devil grind, if you are willing to spend money! This time you go over, I will arrange ten guards for you to ensure your safety, as for the people you need to do business, you choose yourself, but pay attention to one, that is, the people used must be honest and steady! Don't let the wind go! And if the horse is not good, try to get me some Tibetan mastiffs back first, this thing is also a good thing, I have always wanted to get some back, but I don't have a chance! Gao Huaiyuan then instructed Huang Hao.

"Little obedience! Thank you for your understanding, the little one will definitely do his best! Huang Hao was a little excited, he knew that if he could do this well, then it would be equivalent to entering Gao Huaiyuan's most trusted personnel, and the benefits he would get at that time would definitely be much more than when he was now the shopkeeper of the Ezhou Zuixianlou head office, and he had already seen that Gao Huaiyuan was a person who did great things, don't look at him at the moment he was just a small Jiupin sesame official, but the strength hidden behind Gao Huaiyuan was definitely quite huge, so he felt that if he followed Gao Huaiyuan in this life, Probably going to make a career for him! Therefore, Huang Hao is a little eager to try, and wants to go to Sichuan to show his strength after the year.

After dealing with this matter, Gao Huaiyuan did not delay any longer, and left Ezhou to return to Daye County, at this time it was already approaching the Spring Festival, and basically there was nothing to do in the government.

And Liu Zhixian waited until Gao Huaiyuan returned to the county office, and he was even more polite to him, he wanted to see Zhao Fang, a member of the county, it was basically impossible, and Gao Huaiyuan, a small Jiupin county lieutenant, was recruited by Zhao Fang to meet, this is a rare thing, he really couldn't figure out how Gao Huaiyuan could this guy, and he could actually attract the attention of a high-ranking official like Zhao Fang, so he didn't dare to underestimate Gao Huaiyuan, and when he saw Gao Huaiyuan, he felt a little slippery. It seems that Gao Huaiyuan is the magistrate of Daye County, and he is Gao Huaiyuan's subordinate.

Regarding the attitude of Liu Zhixian and others towards him after coming back this time, Gao Huaiyuan felt a little ridiculous, and people's eyelids were too thin! He just went to see Zhao Fang for a while, and when he came back here, did he make Liu Zhixian's colleagues so polite?

But Gao Huaiyuan still accepted Ji Xiancheng's opinion, and he was not arrogant or impatient, and he still maintained a respectful attitude towards Liu Zhixian and others as always, which made Liu Zhixian and others very pleased, and felt that Gao Huaiyuan was a good person, at least he did not despise these colleagues because he hugged Zhao Fang's thigh.

"Lord Zhixian, the lower official wants to go home if he has something, so I have come to ask the adult for a few days off, and I hope that the adult will approve it!" Gao Huaiyuan saw that the Spring Festival was approaching, and this year, because he was no longer a free body after he became the county lieutenant, Shaoxing's father Gao Jian did not recruit him to go back to Shaoxing to visit relatives, but he hadn't been back to Crouching Tiger Village for a long time, so he asked Liu Zhixian to take leave and wanted to go back to Zhuang to see the situation.

"Oh? Gao County Lieutenant wants to go home to see, no problem, you just go back, after you are on the ground in the county during this time, it is much more peaceful, you don't have to worry about things here, there are officials and others, you just have to rest assured! Liu Zhixian didn't even burp, so he agreed, and now he feels that he can't afford to provoke Gao Huaiyuan, let alone take a few days off, even if Gao Huaiyuan doesn't come to the yamen to report, he won't even let out a fart.

After a year, Crouching Tiger Village doesn't look much different from the outside, but after entering it, you can find that the inside is actually very different from before.

During this year, Gao Huaiyuan was busy with the affairs of the Bow and Arrow Society in the county, and gradually began to transfer some of the industries in Crouching Tiger Village out of Crouching Tiger Village.

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan used the resources at hand, in the remote place of the county, in the name of Huang Zhen, Xue Yan, Zhou Hao and others, once again in the name of Huang Zhen, Xue Yan, Zhou Hao and others, and gradually transferred several workshops in Zhuangzi, the blacksmith workshop was the first to move out of Zhuangzi, otherwise, the sound of iron in Zhuangzi kept beating day and night, so that it was not easy for people here to sleep well, and after Tiezuo moved out, he was placed in the mountain mine, where there is only one road to reach, and ordinary people are absolutely not allowed to enter the ironwork. It is his most secret place, and it is also managed by Xue Yan, so that his mine has formed a one-stop industrial chain, and he can make more reasonable use of the resources at hand.

When the relocation of the iron work is completed, the second to be moved out is Jiang Peng's soap workshop, although it is still a soap workshop, but now the soap workshop is no longer a single workshop that only produces soap, under the encouragement of Gao Huaiyuan and Jiang Peng, it can now be said that a new type of cosmetics workshop has been basically formed, the products not only have soap, soap, but also formed a glycerin refining and filling workshop, alabaster production workshop, flavor extraction workshop and perfume production workshop.

As a last resort, Gao Huaiyuan had to drive Jiang Peng out of Wohu Zhuang and move him to a big village surnamed Cao more than 20 miles away from Wohu Village. After Gao Huaiyuan learned about it, he immediately sold his family's Zhuangzi at a high price and chose it as the new site of the soap factory.

Now the workshop in Crouching Tiger Village is only Li Tong's Liulifang has not moved out for the time being, but Gao Huaiyuan has also found a Zhuangzi in another place, and began to build a new large glass kiln there, and after it is completed, the Liulifang will also be moved.

In the end, Crouching Tiger Village returned to quiet again, only the garment workshop remained in the Zhuangzi, so that it gradually returned to cleanliness, the smoke and fire of the province made people smell uncomfortable from afar, this is also to expand the scale of the pigeon farm, after more than a year of expansion, now Liu Fu's baby pigeon has expanded to thousands of birds, every morning when the release, Hula a large area, looks magnificent, only with Liu Fu to learn to raise pigeons of men and women, it has reached more than 30 people, and a little too busy.

According to this development, Gao Huaiyuan is really worried that he can't feed so many pigeons, fortunately, these pigeons are not all used as carrier pigeons, Liu Fu specially selected the pigeons with strong homing ability, good at long-distance flight endurance as breeding pigeons, the remaining pigeons will be eliminated, and finally the number of pigeons will be stabilized within the controllable range, but Liu Fu has a rule, even if it is a pigeon eliminated, no one is allowed to eat them, and in the end they can only be sent to pull down, otherwise, This pigeon idiot will turn his face out of the way.

Now with pigeons, Gao Huaiyuan and the outside world under the name of the industry between the communication is much more convenient, especially in the two Zhejiang area busy Huang Zhen, is often pigeons to pigeon, so that Gao Huaiyuan can always grasp the progress of Huang Zhen's side, such carrier pigeons this year, but also gradually sent to the Zuixianlou branches around the country, specially arranged people to take care of it, this is Gao Huaiyuan to control his own industry is really helpful.

Moreover, such pigeons were sent to Huang Yan, who was serving in front of the army, so that Huang Yan could often feedback the things before the army to Gao Huaiyuan in time, and gradually formed an intelligence network, so that Gao Huaiyuan could also know the war situation between the northern and Jin countries in Jiangbei at any time.

As for Zhao Tong's dog farm, he was also driven out of Crouching Tiger Village and placed in a very remote ravine, and the initiator was still a pigeon idiot Liu Fu, his reason was very simple, saying that Zhao Tong's big dogs often ate his pigeons, not to mention, but also made his pigeons often frightened, and the barking of dogs even made some of his pigeons dare not return to the nest, which seriously affected the effect of his training carrier pigeons, so that Gao Huaiyuan had to wronged Zhao Tong and his fierce dogs, and drove them out of Crouching Tiger Village.

In the end, even the gunpowder workshop set up outside Crouching Tiger Village was also moved away, and Zhao Tong's dog breeding base was also moved into the mountains.

In the past two years, even Gao Huaiyuan's gunpowder workshop has also been greatly developed, gradually forming a set of strict production processes, and additionally adding some equipment required for the production of gunpowder, and gradually improving the production process.

* It is a very easy thing to be detonated, and if you are not careful, there will be problems, which Gao Huaiyuan knows very well, he knows more about it than people of this era, so he has invested a lot of energy in the gunpowder workshop, for fear that something will go wrong and cause a big explosion, otherwise, his secret may not be hidden.

In order to solve the production safety problem, in addition to open flames, a little spark may cause an explosion, and static electricity is the most headache thing, so Gao Huaiyuan has invested a lot of money in many crushing tools, using copper, to avoid sparks, and at the same time after the gunpowder is produced, it is necessary to take measures to dry in the shade, and even in terms of packaging finished products, Gao Huaiyuan deliberately used iron barrels for packaging and storage, although the cost has increased significantly, but the safety has been guaranteed, In addition to this, he has a strict system for every step that no one is allowed to violate.

After seeing the explosive power of gunpowder, all of the people who were selected to work in the gunpowder workshop were very careful, and everyone paid attention to the implementation of the system, for fear that something would happen.

Gao Huaiyuan would go to the gunpowder workshop from time to time to raid it, and for more than a year, there were no major problems.

When Gao Huaiyuan returned to Crouching Tiger Village from the county seat, the people in Zhuangzi were also ready for the New Year, like this and everyone to celebrate the New Year, Gao Huaiyuan has not been over for several years, which is also the main reason why Gao Huaiyuan came back from leave, a few years ago he either returned to Shaoxing or in front of the army, a few years later, people here gradually got used to the days when Gao Huaiyuan was far away.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Gao Huaiyuan would be able to rush back to Zhuangzi before the year this year, so everyone was very happy, everyone was overjoyed, and they came to pay New Year's greetings to Gao Huaiyuan.

And to a rich man like him, naturally he will not be stingy, and let Liu Er prepare a lot of red envelopes in advance, and those who see it have a share, and they all distribute a red envelope, so that everyone is very happy, everyone cares not about how much money is in the red envelope, like this New Year, everyone is just a festive picture, and it is so lively that Zhuangzi is lively.

And Gao Huaiyuan was busy with the axle, turning around everywhere, distributing red envelopes to everyone, and finally settled in the mine, by this time, the employees of the mine had already received the reward and went home for the New Year, leaving only the people who guarded the mine to stay here, when the reward was given to these people, Gao Huaiyuan followed Xue Yan into the iron work in the back mountain.

"Little old man sees the young master, but I haven't seen the young master come here for a while! The little old man took these people to pay New Year's greetings to the young master! As soon as he entered the courtyard of Tiezuo, Zhou Botong, who was full of red light, heard the news and greeted him with a few subordinates, and greeted Gao Huaiyuan with a smile and a fist salute from a distance.

Gao Huaiyuan walked a few steps and hugged Zhou Botong and laughed loudly: "I'm busy during this time, so I don't have time to visit you, Master Zhou, you are getting more and more energetic!" Looks like you've had a good time with me! ”

"Happy! Little Lao'er has never been so happy in his life! Thanks to the young master, it seems that I still have a few years of good life for the little old man! Zhou Botong smiled from ear to ear, and the white beard on his chin trembled, which showed that he was indeed in a very good mood.

Gao Huaiyuan sent red envelopes to everyone here, and after everyone was happy, he followed Xue Yan and Zhou Botong and others into the shed.

Although it has come to the time of the New Year, but Tiezuo still has not stopped work, the sound of clanging iron is endless, and there is still a hot atmosphere everywhere, it seems that Tiezuo does not plan to stop work because of the New Year, which makes Gao Huaiyuan deeply gratified.

After all, the people who can work in his iron work are all his cronies, many of whom are teenagers, and the rest are either northerners, or craftsmen whose families have also moved to Crouching Tiger Village.

Gao Huaiyuan casually picked up a knife blank on the shelf, weighed it in his hand and looked at it carefully, the knife blank of this knife knew at a glance that it was the style of their unique Liuyun scimitar in Crouching Tiger Village, it seemed to be made by novices, and the shape was not very standard, but the knife steel was made of okay, and it was an apprentice's test work.

"You don't need to look at these things, these are all things that the apprentices who came to me this year to learn their crafts are playing, and they can't get into the eyes of your young master! Check it out! Those knives are basically finished products, and they can be said to be reasonable! Zhou Botong said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"Hmmm! It's good that an apprentice can make such a knife blank, which shows that your master has taught well! I won't look at the knife, I'm here today mainly to see how our iron armor is built, and the other is to see if there are any eyebrows for the kind of thing I told you to cast a few months ago! Gao Huaiyuan put the knife blank back on the shelf, grabbed a few cast arrows in the basket and looked at them, tested the sharpness of the arrows with his fingers, and then straightened up and asked Zhou Botong and Xue Yan.

"Young master, don't worry, the things you ordered, the little ones are basically ready now, please follow the little ones to the back and take a look!" Zhou Botong made a gesture of please to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan then followed Zhou Botong and the others towards the shed behind the iron work, when he walked into a shed, he looked up and saw a pair of swarthy iron armor hanging on a humanoid wooden frame, so he immediately walked a few steps to the front, stretched out his hand to touch the iron armor.

This iron armor is obviously different from the various standard iron armor of the current Song Army, because in this era, whether it is the iron armor of the Song Dynasty or the Jin Army, or even the iron armor of the Western Xia Kingdom, it is basically the armor that belongs to the category of armor, and it is mostly a protective armor formed by wearing a piece of good iron with a leather rope, but the iron armor in front of you is obviously out of the category of Song Dynasty armor, and it has a bit of a European-style knight armor.

"Good! This is exactly what I want, how much does this armor weigh? Have you ever tested the armor's defenses? Gao Huaiyuan asked Zhou Botong and the others.

"Back to the young master! This armor weighs thirty-five pounds, composed of shoulder armor, neck armor, breastplate, back armor and other armor pieces, all made of 100 steel, this armor is not within ten steps, one stone and two buckets of hard bow can not penetrate, for the sword and gun defense ability is stronger, it is more convenient to wear, much better than the current armor! Zhou Botong replied.
