"Yan Gongzi is here...... The craftsmen who were installing the gate of the dock castle under the doorway of the fort wall were in a commotion, and many people stopped what they were doing and looked towards Yan Liqiang, Yan Liqiang's fame at the moment, for these craftsmen, is a real big man, just like the star of Yan Liqiang's previous life.

"Everyone has worked hard, everyone has worked hard, install the gate today, and I will let everyone add food in the evening, and make tooth sacrifices......" Yan Liqiang smiled and arched his hand to a bunch of craftsmen, and the craftsmen cheered at once.

"Yan Gongzi, this iron gourd you invented is so easy to use, it saves us a lot of effort for those of us who work hard, what seven or eight people may not be able to hang up before, now one person can easily hang it......" A craftsman who was commanding a group of craftsmen at the door gave Yan Liqiang a thumbs up, "In the past, others said that Yan Gongzi could be literate and martial, and could worship immortals as a master, but I didn't believe it, but now I believe it......"

The iron hoist is the pulley group invented by Yan Liqiang, after being used on the construction site, the workers on the construction site look at the shape of the thing a bit like a gourd, so it is not called a pulley block or other awkward name, directly called its iron gourd, but it is also easy to remember, catchy.

"Hahaha, it's good to be able to use it, this way of organizing things, originally it was people-oriented, used to facilitate people, this iron gourd can save everyone a little effort, so that everyone can work less hard, it is not in vain to come to this world for a while......" Yan Liqiang said, expected to walk under the door of the fort wall, touched the heavy iron-clad gate that had been installed on the side, stretched out his hand and patted it, the one-foot-thick fort wall gate, made a dull sound, did not move, Yan Liqiang looked at it, nodded, " Yes, yes, this thing should be wood in it, it feels quite sturdy!"

"This gate is breaded with black steel wood soaked in tung oil for more than half a year, hard as iron, but not as heavy as iron, used in this iron-clad gate, the most suitable, the iron of this black steel wood is an inch thick, such a gate, the knife and axe are difficult to hurt in the slightest!" Lu Wenbin explained, pointing to the foundations on both sides of the gate, The foundation under this gate is made of large stones of more than six feet, each of which weighs thousands of pounds, and there is an iron gate in the door hole behind these two iron gates, and the iron gate is usually pulled up with a winch, and it is put down when needed, so that the iron gate and the iron gate are added together, and this door hole is difficult to hit open even if you use a rushing car, and if you want to attack, you can only climb the city wall......"

Yan Liqiang looked at Lu Wenbin's dark and thinned face, and sighed a little, "For more than a year, I have worked hard for you!"

"It's not hard, it's my blessing to be able to do things for my son, I've been in Liuhe Town for more than a year, and I've grown a lot of skills after running!"

Yan Liqiang nodded, and after looking under the doorway, he retreated, "By the way, how was the matter with you last time?"

Of course Lu Wenbin knew what Yan Liqiang was talking about," Gongzi let me see the brick kiln that burns big bricks, I have seen it, just in Baiyangpo in Qinghe County, there is a big kiln, the big bricks are good, just the shopkeeper of the brick kiln wants to sell, I bought it, only spent more than 3000 taels of silver, the workers inside have also stayed, a lot of big bricks on the city wall, are let the kiln burn out, the matter of the builder group, I also pulled a few craftsmen, picked a group of people who can endure hardships and will do, they heard that the shopkeeper behind is Gongzi, they are very active, willing to join！”

"Yes, you first take them to build the dock fort and the house in the town here in Liuhe Town, and so on, find a time, and officially set up the builder group, a few days ago I told the old man about you, the old man also supports, and after the establishment of the builder group, our Yan family invested, you are the shopkeeper, the Yan family accounts for fifty percent of the shares of the business group, the Lu family accounts for one percent, you use your own ability and ability to invest in the shares account for forty percent, I and the Lu family are only shareholders, but ask the specific affairs of the builder group, the construction company is up to you every day, and I still have things to do with you！”

Lu Wenbin couldn't hide his excitement, and a smile appeared on his face, "Everything is arranged by Gongzi!"

"By the way, what has my father been doing in the past two days, with my understanding of him, after the water and fire machine comes out, he will definitely not be idle!" Yan Liqiang asked a digression.

"The old man plans to open a mill in the town with a water and light machine, and the old man has been soaking in the mill for the past two days, fiddling with the water and fire machine......"

"Haha, that's pretty much what I thought!"

"Today, the mill of the water and fire machine is officially opened, and it is on the new street in the town, and half of the town has gone to see the excitement!"

Yan Liqiang smiled, he didn't even need to look at it, he could imagine Yan Dechang's appearance at the moment, this water and fire machine is more like a big toy for Yan Dechang, the old blacksmith, Yan Dechang's passion and curiosity were stimulated at once, when he was in the manufacturing bureau, Yan Liqiang found that Yan Dechang was particularly interested in water and fire machines, in order to understand the principle of water and fire machines and the manufacturing process of some of its parts, Yan Dechang almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, or just be a dad to have fun.

"What's going on in Liuhe Town these days?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that after Gongzi came back from Tianchi this time, people kept coming to Liuhe Town from thousands of miles to find Gongzi to learn art!" Lu Wenbin also smiled, "But after those people found the Yan family, they were all sent away, and Old Man Yan told them to go to the Archery Club if they wanted to learn art, and then the Archery Club told them to come back when the Archery Club recruited people this year......"

Yan Liqiang also laughed......

......

After waiting for more than half an hour, the gate on the other side of the doorway was also preliminarily installed and could be opened and closed, the doorway was cleared, and Yan Liqiang directly led people into Liuhe Town.

As Lu Wenbin said, at this moment in Liuhe Town, most of the people in the town went to the newly opened mill to see the excitement, when the Lingshan faction sent the water and fire machine before, it was in the courtyard of the Yan family, and not many people saw it......

From afar, before Yan Liqiang arrived at the new street in the town, he saw a large area of people on the new street, surrounded by a house on the new street, making a commotion, and countless people kept exclaiming.

"It's moving, it's moving......"

"The noodles are out, the noodles are really out......"

......

Of course, Yan Liqiang did not go over to join in the fun, but returned directly to Yan's house, and as soon as he returned to Yan's house, Yan Liqiang asked Steward Zhou to come over.

Steward Zhou hurriedly ran to the flower hall.

"I remember that there are many places in Qinghe County where people raise sheep, right?" Yan Liqiang asked directly.

Steward Zhou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yan Liqiang to care about such a trivial matter, but Yan Liqiang asked, he still had to speak, "Childe is right, there are indeed many places in Qinghe County that raise sheep, and there are many people in the village who live by raising sheep, and our family also raises sheep!"

"Oh, we also have sheep in our family?" Yan Liqiang really didn't know when the family would raise sheep, the family was big, and he really didn't pay attention to these things.

"Well, we have more than 100 sheep at home, that is the old man saw that there are two childless old tenants in the town who are pitiful, they can't do heavy work, and they have no income, so they usually let me send them some rice and noodles, and the two old men are embarrassed to accept the favor of the old man in vain, saying that they will herd sheep and want to herd sheep for our family, so I bought some lambs for them to herd sheep every day!"

"Oh, what kind of sheep do we have in our house? goats or sheep?"

"Of course it's sheep, the goats eat grass and pull out the roots, there are many goats, the hillside, the grass and the grass on the side of the road can be eaten up, you have to drive the sheep everywhere to find grass, tired and panicked, this sheep eats grass and does not pull out the roots, the grass can grow after two days after eating grass, it is easy to feed, most of the sheep people in Qinghe County also raise sheep!"

Yan Liqiang rubbed his chin, "Well, I'll tell you one thing, find a capable manager of the family, go to those villages and big families that raise a lot of sheep, and buy all the wool back for me......"

"What?" Steward Zhou, who had a simple face, thought he had misheard, "Childe is going to buy sheepskins?"

"It's not sheepskin, it's wool!"

Yan Liqiang said it again, and Steward Zhou knew that he had heard correctly, but he looked incredulous and swallowed his saliva, "Childe, that wool is a useless thing, when you kill a sheep, you want sheepskin, and you eat mutton, and the wool is lost, no one wants it at all, what does Childe want to buy it for?"

If Lu Wenbin was there, he wouldn't have asked Yan Liqiang what he wanted to do with the wool, because that was not a question that a smart subordinate should ask, but this housekeeper of the Yan family was very honest, and he would say what he had in his heart, Yan Liqiang didn't mind, and patiently explained, " Wait until you know, do it first, this matter should be responsible for a special person, not sloppy, the more wool to be collected, the better, isn't there a new warehouse by the river, the collected wool, put it in a sack, put it in the new warehouse into storage, let people be optimistic, don't catch fire, and then let the housekeeper who goes to collect wool look around in Pingxi County, where is the land in Pingxi County suitable for raising sheep, in a few days, I will go to buy a few pieces of land suitable for raising sheep!"

"Okay, don't worry, Childe, I'll arrange it!" Although Steward Zhou didn't understand, he still nodded seriously and didn't say anything more, "Does Childe have anything else to explain?"

"No, that's it, you go down!"

"Yes!" Steward Zhou saluted, then turned around and left the flower hall......
