Hearing Gong Tieshan's question, Yan Dechang, who was not good at talking, hesitated slightly, glanced at Yan Liqiang, and then opened his mouth, "So that Lord Gong can know that this knife is not from my hand, but designed and conceived by my son Liqiang, and I just made the drawings drawn by Liqiang into real objects......

"Ah, this knife was actually conceived by Liqiang?"

Gong Tieshan was really surprised, he was not surprised when he knew that Yan Liqiang was the boy who taught him how to treat people who were drowning, he was not surprised when he knew that Yan Liqiang was the first in the top three in the national art county examination in Qinghe County, and when he heard that Yan Liqiang could invent and create such a delicate weapon at a young age, he was surprised, because in his opinion, the person who can invent and create this kind of scimitar is not a genius of the way of the knife, but definitely a master-level character who has been immersed in the skills of craftsmen for decades, and at the same time has a special understanding of swords, he did not expect that this scimitar was actually Yan Liqiang"Invented".

He looked at Yan Liqiang, his eyes full of inquiry, "Could it be that Liqiang is you learning knives?"

"I didn't learn knives, but guns!" Yan Liqiang said calmly.

"And how did you come up with the idea of this cutlastion?"

This question, not only Gong Tieshan, but also Qian Su, are a little curious, Qian Su knew that this knife was made by Yan Liqiang, but he didn't know how Yan Liqiang thought of making such an ingenious and wonderful scimitar.

Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, " Coincidentally, a few months ago, I ate roast whole sheep in Uncle Qian's craftsman camp, and several big brothers in the craftsman camp cut a roast leg of mutton for me, and when I held the roast leg of mutton in my hand, I pinched the position of the sheep's hooves, and I felt that there was a strange inertia and power on the leg of mutton when I waved it, and it felt very comfortable, I thought, I don't know if I can make a knife, just like this leg of mutton, when swinging, you can use the weight and structure of the blade itself to achieve greater power, and then I designed this scimitar according to the shape of the leg of mutton......”

There is a saying that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and dog meat and mutton cannot be distinguished, because the body shape of dogs and sheep is more similar, and the general shape of dog legs and lamb legs is not much different.

Yan Liqiang's words made Gong Tieshan silent for a long time, and finally patted his thigh violently, and said with great emotion, "Grandma's, Lao Tzu has eaten lamb legs for decades, and countless people have eaten countless lamb legs for thousands of years, why hasn't anyone thought of this?"

......

Gong Tieshan stayed in the craftsman camp until the evening, had a meal with Yan Liqiang and the three of them, drank a lot of wine, and finally drank a little high, and then returned to the camp of Gong Ziying under the escort of a group of personal guards, and the 100 Yan scimitars given to him by Yan Liqiang's father and son had already been sent over by Qian Su in the car.

When Gong Tieshan left, he took Yan Liqiang's hand, and he had already directly called Yan Liqiang a virtuous nephew, and asked Yan Liqiang to call him Uncle Gong.

......

Sent Gong Tieshan, Yan Liqiang, Qian Su, and Yan Dechang back to the living room of Qian Su's courtyard.

"Liqiang, those 100 scimitars have taken a lot of effort to create by the family's workshop in the past few months, if they are sold, at least more than 400 taels of silver, why are you so generous, just give them away?"

Yan Dechang came to give the knife with joy, originally thought that he could make a fortune, but he didn't expect those knives to be completely given away by Yan Liqiang, it was a lot of money, Yan Dechang didn't say anything at the time, but he still felt a pain in his heart.

"Dad, you drink a glass of water and dissipate your ......" Yan Liqiang accompanied the smiling face, poured a cup of tea for Yan Dechang, and then stood behind Yan Dechang, pinched Yan Dechang's shoulder, and looked small, "I gave those knives to Captain Gong, naturally I have my reasons, Dad, don't worry, this money, it won't take long, Captain Gong will definitely be able to make our family earn back ten times and a hundred times?"

"How is that possible?" Yan Dechang turned his head and looked at Yan Liqiang in disbelief.

"Then Dad, what do you say our family is doing business for now?"

"Of course, it's to make money!" Yan Dechang said of course.

"It's right to make money, but Dad, where did you say that money came from......"

"This ......" Yan Dechang was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about this question carefully.

"Dad, if you don't say it, then I'll say, if you do general business and make a fortune, then the money is earned by ability, the so-called ability, in business, is low in and high out, no matter what you sell, the price of what you sell can exceed the cost of getting that thing, and the middle is profit, with profit, you can make money......"

"Well, that's the truth!" Yan Dechang nodded.

"People who do business want to make money, but when business is done in the end, the highest state is not to make money!" Yan Liqiang smiled and continued to loosen Yan Dechang's shoulders.

"The highest level of doing business is not to make money, so what is it?" Don't talk about Yan Dechang, even Qian Su, who was drinking hangover tea next to him, couldn't help but ask.

"It's to make money!" Yan Liqiang said three words categorically, his eyes shining," As long as people earn, making money is easy, if you don't make people in business, make a lot of money, not necessarily a good thing, maybe it will cause trouble, just like our family now, is the family really short of money, not lacking, our family in the town of those fields and real estate, if the world remains unchanged, it is enough for our father and son to live to old age, but, that's just it, when something really happens, how much use is that bit of land and real estate, just like the previous Hong family, usually looks like a flower, but really have something, just a mountain wind, let the entire Hong family disappear in the town, Dad, do you want our family to be like the Hong family？”

This is also a deep understanding that Yan Liqiang only has after he has experienced it, if it were not for the painful experience last time, how could Yan Liqiang have thought that the Yan family, which is thriving, has become the second Hong family in Liuhe Town just because of the words of the county guard, and it has disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It was also at that time that Yan Liqiang really realized why the head of the Rothschilds, the richest family on the planet, came to China and said that the Rothschilds were not pursuing money, but influence. Because it is not money that really protects the richest family on the earth, but the influence of the Shi family, the so-called money, is just a projection of the influence of this family.

can protect the Yan family, in addition to their own force, there is also the influence that the Yan family should have, and I have to admit that the Yan family is now, in addition to having a little influence in Liuhe Town, out of Liuhe Town, even in Qinghe County, the Yan family is not ranked at all, just a small landlord.

Therefore, after Yan Liqiang solved the threat of Ye Xiao and a few people, the most urgent thing now is to establish the influence of the Yan family step by step and learn to earn people.

What is these hundreds of taels of silver, if you really want to talk about money, Yan Liqiang's wealth in the Shatu people is enough for his father and son to eat for ten lifetimes, but money alone is not enough.

Regarding Yan Liqiang's question, Yan Dechang shook his head as a matter of course, "Of course I don't want to!"

"That's it, so if our family wants to do business for a long time, we have to talk about the rules, make people first, make money second, as long as we make people, the money will naturally come, and it can also keep ......"

Yan Dechang understood a little, "Then you gave those swords to Captain Gong for nothing, just to make money?"

"Well, Dad, you believe in my vision, with Captain Gong's temper, as long as our family gives him enough face today, we can not only get closer to Captain Gong and be friends, but also Captain Gong will definitely give us a bigger surprise in the future, otherwise he himself will be embarrassed to see us again, you just wait to see it......" Yan Liqiang said firmly, this is also his experience in two lives.

With such a son, what else can Yan Dechang say, Yan Liqiang's words directly convinced Yan Dechang, completely smooth, and he no longer feels sorry for the hundred scimitars, "Okay, Liqiang, you can do whatever you say, Daddy will listen to you in the future!"

Not to mention Yan Dechang, even Qian Su next to him listened, and he was convinced, he was really convinced, a teenager less than fifteen years old can say that the highest level of doing business is to make people and not to make money, such a person, Qian Su asked himself if he really hadn't seen it, let alone a teenager, even if it was those who rolled in the mall to the age of 100, many people may not have such an understanding and can say such things.

"Liqiang, your Uncle Qian and I spend all day drinking, spending money lavishly, and we have to go up and down at any time, even if the position of this camp supervisor has a little oil and water, it is really not enough to spend, and so many people in the craftsman battalion have to eat, live, and I have to take care of everything such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they are all counting on me one by one, this camp supervisor is not easy to be!" Qian Su squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Liqiang with a smile, and said half-truthfully, " So, Liqiang, since you can explain the truth of doing business and making money so well, can you show Uncle Qian a way to make money, and also seek some benefits for everyone in the craftsman camp?"

"Can the Overseer's Mansion allow the Craftsman Battalion to make money on its own?" Yan Liqiang asked Yan Dechang a question.

"As long as it doesn't affect the production of ordnance, as long as we don't do anything that violates the law and discipline of the traitor department, we can do anything in the craftsman battalion!"

Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, "I have a way to make money here, but this method is too easy to make money, and there are too few people in the craftsman camp, even if I put Jinshan Yinshan here in the craftsman camp, the craftsman business can't eat much, if you want to make a little more money, it's better to work with the landing family!"

"What is the way to make money that is too easy?" Qian Su said in disbelief.

"If I can sell the soil at the same price as coal, or even a little more expensive than coal, Uncle Qian, do you think this method will make money?"

Qian Su was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Liqiang, you are joking with me, if this soil can be sold as expensive as coal, then I will find a random earth mountain and go around, don't you have gold mountains and silver seas, and the means of turning stones into gold in legends are nothing more than that......"

Yan Liqiang didn't say anything, just looked at Qian Su with a smile, "Ahem...... Cough...... Uncle Qian have forgotten how I used to know how to use moxibustion to treat people who are drowning, I had a dream a few days ago, in the dream, I met the white-bearded old man again, and he told me a way to sell soil for a price like coal......

The smile on Qian Su's face froze suddenly......
