After seeing the convenience of hydraulic machinery, Browning Hammer led the dwarven craftsmen to use the drawings drawn by Fang Xiaoyu to build some waterwheels and transmission devices to drive the machine tools. The dwarf's skills are absolutely exquisite, and the accuracy of the gears manufactured can even be accurate to a few tenths of a millimeter, which makes Fang Xiaoyu marvel at it. The dwarves' craftsmanship is exquisite, and the only drawback is that they are not creative, but with the improvement of Fang Xiaoyu and those human craftsmen, the machines made by the dwarves are becoming more and more sophisticated, and the performance is getting stronger and stronger, and the manufacturing efficiency will soon increase several times.

Just a few days later, Tobul's new army was finally formed, Fang Xiaoyu named it the Iron Guard, hoping that they would use iron and blood to forge their own glory, and then Fang Xiaoyu also held a gun ceremony, and after some encouragement, he personally sent a full set of equipment to each soldier. It was a chore to give equipment to a thousand people one by one, and it caused Fang Xiaoyu's back to ache for several days, but after such a ceremony, although the soldiers thought it was a bit funny to let such a child give them a gun, they got a lot closer to him, which can be regarded as part of loyalty education.

The Predators can't just hand out weapons, if they are dressed in motley clothes, they will look like militias. Therefore, in addition to weapons and equipment, Fang Xiaoyu added two jacket-style gray cloth military uniforms to each of them, a pair of leather boots, a leather armed belt with two ammunition boxes and a pistol holster, a cloth bag for grenades, an iron flat water bottle, and due to the convenience of a water press, each person also had an iron helmet. In short, this outfit was even more powerful than the regular army of the empire, which made Fang Xiaoyu very satisfied.

The guards of the villa were also very envious when they saw the equipment of the Iron Guard, and everyone asked Zhang Tong and Fang Xiaoyu, the new leaders of the guards, to report the situation, hoping that they could also have a mighty outfit. Fang Xiaoyu couldn't, so he had to change the configuration of the guards, but the weapons were not changed for them, and the military uniforms were changed to dark green.

"Xiaoyu." Fang Xiaoyu, who was thinking about whether to let the Iron Blood Guard start guarding the industrial zone, was interrupted by a call. He looked up and saw that his eldest brother Fang Dingguo was watching him not far away. Fang Xiaoyu stepped forward in a few steps, smiled slightly, and said, "Big brother, why are you here." Fang Dingguo touched Fang Xiaoyu's head affectionately and said, "I don't know if I don't come, it turns out that you have already run this villa so prosperously." Sun Huaizong also came over and said, "Young Master." Fang Dingguo nodded: "It seems that it was really wise for me to let Lao Sun help you, it seems that Lao Sun is a lot younger these days." Sun Huaizong said with a smile: "The eldest young master is really joking, I'm very busy these days." Fang Dingguo said: "I don't know you yet, you have always been an idle person, the busier you are, the more motivated you are." Sun Huaizong said: "I've been used to it for so many years, if I am idle, I will be sick, you brothers talk, I'll go to the farm to have a look." After speaking, Sun Huaizong walked along the field path into the distance.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Big brother, what are you doing today?" Fang Dingguo said: "What else can I do?" It's not your restaurant's business. My father attaches great importance to your affairs and specially instructed me to find it myself. Your eldest brother and I have been tired for more than ten days, and my legs are thin, didn't I just find one, how about it? Don't you want to spend some errands on your big brother? ”

Fang Xiaoyu gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "I don't want money, I've been short of money recently." Fang Dingguo pretended to be surprised and said: "You are short of money, and no one will believe you when you say it." If you don't have money, I'm not going to beg for food. ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Even if it is given, how much can I give you?" Ten thousand or one hundred thousand? Fang Dingguo heard Fang Xiaoyu's words and wondered: "Little brother, what do you mean by this?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "Of course, I want to ask you to join forces with me to make a deal, but this deal is also tiring enough, big brother, your legs are thin, don't embarrass you." ”

Fang Dingguo was overjoyed and said: "There is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, the eldest brother is a hard worker, as long as he is a joint venture with you, he can run no matter what." Now who in the capital doesn't know the prestige of Young Master Fang, and he also made up a postscript. "For doing business with Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Dingguo is very concerned.

"Afterthought?" Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "What afterword?" Fang Dingguo said: "They all say that Young Master Fang's business is a sure win." Fang Xiaoyu shook his head with a smile when he heard this: "Who said that you won't lose money, I just lost one." ”

Fang Dingguo wondered: "Why don't I know the way?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "I planted hundreds of thousands of catties of the kind of vegetables that I sent to my home last time, but I couldn't sell them all, I had no choice, I could only dry them and store them." Fang Dingguo said: "That kind of vegetable, it's quite delicious, the whole family likes it very much, why don't I help you sell it?" Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I have planted so many new vegetables, and I want you to sell them the same, so I won't be tired." Rest assured that as long as the restaurant opens, everyone will definitely inquire about what the dish is after eating, so that we don't have to sell it, and some people will rush to buy it, which will solve everything. ”

Fang Dingguo nodded and said, "Xiaoyu still has a way, much better than your eldest brother and me." By the way, let's stop talking about it and get down to business. It's not too late to talk about the restaurant when we go, let's talk about our cooperative business first. Fang Xiaoyu said: "I've been busy lately, and I don't have time to build this workshop, if you can help me, it's much easier." ”

Fang Dingguo nodded: "No problem, anyway, I don't have anything to do in charge of the farm now, what workshop do you want to run and tell me, big brother will definitely help." Fang Xiaoyu said: "This workshop is to be built in Luoyun Mountain, which I newly bought, this commodity is called cement, which is used for road construction." ”

"Build roads?" Fang Dingguo was surprised: "Roads are built with stones, what is the use of cement?" Fang Xiaoyu asked rhetorically: "Let me ask you how much it will cost and how long it will cost you to build a bluestone road from here to the capital?" "From here?" Fang Dingguo Road: "Such a long road is made of gravel or directly a dirt road, and such a long bluestone road is simply impossible to complete." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "This place is more than ten kilometers away from the capital, and the cost of building a bluestone road is no less than rebuilding the city wall of the capital." If you use cement, it only takes a few tenths of the cost, and if you can have a hundred workers, it can be done in just a month. "So little?" Fang Dingguo was extremely surprised.

As if Fang Dingguo was still not surprised enough, Fang Xiaoyu said again: "And the road built with cement is much smoother than the bluestone road, and the four-wheeled carriage is just as smooth as the gallop, and the wear and tear on the wheels is much smaller, and it is estimated that the use time can be several times that of the bluestone road." After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Fang Dingguo's mind was about to crash, such a low cost, such a smooth road, and such a long-lasting, I am afraid that the roads of the whole empire will use this kind of thing in the future, how much is this.

Fang Xiaoyu patted Fang Dingguo's shoulder, making him sober up from the shock. Fang Dingguo hurriedly said: "This business must be done, even if we use this kind of cement to build roads only in Zhili County, the money we earn can bury the Fang family's old mansion." "It is worthy of being a business talent cultivated by the family since childhood, and the eldest brother can understand the value of this commodity in such a short period of time. Fang Xiaoyu said: "So I will circle a place for you, draw a drawing for you, and you will build the workshop according to the drawing, and when you repair it, I will preside over the start of construction." When it's finished, let's not sell it first, but build the road from Rantei Villa to Kyoto, and wait until someone asks, let's sell it again, and it will be more attractive to maintain a little mystery. ”

Fang Dingguo said with a smile: "Little brother, you are really a profiteer, you are simply too good at doing business, first hide it to arouse everyone's curiosity, let them inquire by themselves, this is more attractive than selling them to them." Fang Xiaoyu nodded proudly, he was also very satisfied with his marketing strategy. Fang Xiaoyu has not yet drawn the drawings of the cement workshop, and now is not the time to talk about this, the most important thing now is to go to the city to see the restaurant.

The two brothers took a group of guards and rode slowly into the city. Fang Xiaoyu, who has been practicing riding hard recently, has already ridden the horse well, although he is still not very proficient, but he has been able to keep up with Dingguo in normal riding. "Here it is." Fang Dingguo grabbed the silk reins and pointed to a small two-story wooden building and said. Fang Xiaoyu looked up and said, "Very good, this is it." Fang Xiaoyu jumped off the horse, handed over the horse to the guards to take care of, and walked straight in, Fang Dingguo also quickly dismounted, threw the reins to the guards, and quickly followed.

The shopkeeper inside saw a teenage boy in gorgeous clothes walking in, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Is there something wrong with this son?" Before Fang Xiaoyu could speak, Fang Dingguo behind him said, "Boss Qian, we're here to see the house." ”
