After months of searching, Li Feihu found no trace of the tiger.

Guan Chang and others have explored eighty percent of the area of Yinling, not to mention a carpet search, but they have also traveled all over the map of Yinling. Now only an inaccessible mountain stream remains.

This mountain stream is like a sharp axe cutting through the mountains, separating the two mountains of Jinling and Yinling. Even the most seasoned hunters did not dare to go any further. It is said that among the mountain streams, there are not only fierce beasts, but also poisonous insects and miasma. This mountain stream is known as the "Ten Dead Stream", which means ten deaths and no life.

When he decided to go back, Guan Chang saw that Li Siwen was a little uninterested, so he had to comfort him and said that after the winter, the tiger's foraging range would be expanded, and if he came again, the possibility of success would be greater.

The end of summer in Yinling is too hot, and Guan Changzong has profound skills, but he is still very uncomfortable.

Therefore, when Guan Chang led everyone back, he only hurried in the early morning and dusk.

He took his disciples out of the mountain without hurry. I thought in my heart: the map of Yinling has been basically drawn, and there should be more than a dozen wooden houses built at present, and at least there is no need to sleep in the open on the way back.

Guan Chang planned to use a series of wooden houses to connect the entire Yinling Mountains, and use this as the back road of his sect. He still doesn't know who Master's enemy really is, and he must be ready to flee for his life at any time!

When they go back, the road they will take will be the thread that threads the "beads" - there is no mountain road on Yinling, and they have a way to go through it.

When Guan Chang returned, he found that the route he had traveled before was covered with weeds again, which made him feel blind and insecure at all.

So he came up with a special method: manually tamp a forest path.

Legend has it that Shaolin monks practiced martial arts on the same floor tile every day, and over the years the floor tile was shaken to the point that it was cracked and the ground sank a few inches. This is a good example of water drop stone wearing diligent martial arts, and it also gave Guan Chang some inspiration. Guan Chang plans to combine martial arts training and labor to the end. When practicing martial arts, a lot of useless energy is generated, such as stomping the ground to make the ground sink, such as punching the air. Practicing strength with chopping wood, and practicing knife skills with chopping vegetables are all ways to make the best use of things, and it is natural to step out of a road with foot strength, right?

As they hurried, they all dragged a stake behind them, marking a path between the weeds.

Li Biao and Li Siwen are too young, and if they walk in this way, they may affect their development. Guan Chang asked them to follow the crowd to clear out the grass roots on the side of the road, and arranged many stone slabs along the road as markers.

There is no road in the world, but there is a road when there are many people. While reviewing the path they walked, everyone silently recited the words that the head of the family said, and they were very emotional.

Sigh to sigh, but the next day, everyone secretly scolded the senior brother in charge for being too tricky, and the pain in the muscles along the way was so sour!

Guan Chang felt several eyes with grief and pain around him, and explained awkwardly: "How can it be so easy to practice martial arts, this is the method of practicing light martial arts. After practice, it is not impossible to fly on the grass, snow, or even water!"

Li Siwen thought for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, it's not okay to fly in the sky." ”

Guan Chang replied angrily: "If you practice light skills to become the first in the world, I will pass on your flying skills." Until then, let's stop thinking about it. ”

It's almost impossible to build a fuel-burning plane with Guan Chang's ability, but gliders and hot air balloons seem to be a bit more effective. But he can't give a child unrealistic fantasies, in case this stupid and naïve little junior brother jumps off the cliff with a feather in his feathers, he will become a pioneer in the sky.

Li Siwen looked at the birds in the sky at this time and said in a daze: "Light work, the first in the world." Senior brother, when can I start practicing this?"

Li Siwen is ten years old this year, but his body is very thin. Guan Chang thought for a while and said, "Twelve, wait for your body to grow some more in two years!"

"Two more years? That's two winters, that's a long time. Li Siwen sighed.

Guan Chang touched his head and said, "It's not suitable for you to practice weight-bearing now, but it's definitely right to run and jump more." Wait until next spring, and I'll teach you some tips on how to be able to jump high and far. ”

On the other side of Silver Ridge, several craftsmen sighed around a wooden house, which was already the eleventh wooden house they had worked together.

A few months ago, a few craftsmen thought that a house made of wood was just a shack. After they saw the drawings, they all pouted and expressed their disdain...... How can such a thing be called a house!

Not to mention anything else, just say that there is a big stove built in this wooden house, and the stove is still open, is this going to set itself on fire?

What's even more incredible is that the front hall and bedroom are separated from the ten-step square site, and a separate wooden house with toilets has been built behind the house.

This is taking off your pants and farting, and that's more. Deep in the mountains and old forests, where is it convenient...... However, the drawings of those furniture still look very chic, and they will have to be done more carefully when the time comes.

A few craftsmen muttered in their hearts, but there were not many complaints on their lips. After all, the maids given by the main family are very generous, even if they work for a large family, this is the treatment.

The fly in the ointment is that you have to bring your own food, but the advantage of working behind the Orion is that you have meat at once. This is not ordinary, you must know that even hunters do not eat meat every day, after all, it is the most cost-effective to exchange prey for food.

When the first wooden house was completed, it was still a cold spring. A few craftsmen were lazy in the nest and set fire to the hearth, which the owner called the "fireplace".

Ho, this is going to surprise a couple of old guys. The red flames burst out of the old high, and the black smoke was carried away down the towering chimney. The room was getting hot all at once.

Only the central part of the house is a mud brick structure, and the rest of the room is made of wood. The wall where the fireplace sits divides the house into two sections, the antechamber and the bedroom, mentioned earlier. Since the fireplace and flue are in the middle of the house, the bedroom and antechamber are warm.

Guan Chang designed this because wood is the cheapest material in the mountains, but the stove itself must not be wooden, it must be made of stone and earth. In order to be flame retardant, the wooden structure is separated from the fireplace by some special material. The biggest advantage of this is that it is cheap, and the biggest disadvantage is that it is too ugly to look at from the inside.

From the outside, there is no ugly problem, but it looks very original because of the pure solid wood. Although the double outer structure of wood and logs is a bit wasteful of wood, the insulation effect is very good, even stronger than that of adobe houses.

The old craftsmen were all red-eyed, mainly because the fireplace was beyond their knowledge. They can't help but think that once this fireplace appears on the wall of a big dog house, the house will be full of guests all winter!

......

Now they have built the eleventh wooden house. It was more than just a fireplace that shook them.

The structure of the doors and windows in the room, the rain and lightning protection design of the roof, the furniture in the room, and the toilet outside the house are all wonderful.

What surprised them the most was that they were building houses faster and faster.

From the first house being built in the groping for half a month, it is now fully completed in less than five days. This kind of efficiency is simply unimaginable, you know, each of them only brought a small apprentice. This efficiency improvement must have come from the "processes and standards" that the young master once mentioned.

In fact, Guan Chang doesn't know how to build a house, if he lets him build a blue brick house by himself, it will definitely collapse. Now building this kind of wooden house is what makes him tricky. The wooden houses they are building now are not built from the bottom up, but the houses are broken down into several large pieces, then broken down into smaller dozens of pieces, and finally put together.

In Guan Chang's view, this is actually more like building blocks. Guan Chang had designed the drawings well and established a definite standard. Most of the structures and components in the house are able to be dismantled and replaced. As workers become more proficient, efficiency gains become inevitable.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Feng, why don't I think it's right. Liu Kai, the youngest blacksmith among the three craftsmen, spoke.

"What's wrong, the house is crooked?" Lao Feng squinted his eyes and said angrily. Lao Feng is a carpenter, the main force in building houses, and he contributes the most.

"No, no. If you look at your temper, you don't know how to change it. The blacksmith shook his head and continued, "You say, the master's house building is so good, it's a craft, and it's going to be a big deal." Why did you just give it to us, and we don't have a note?"

Lao Feng took a breath and didn't say anything.

But the stonemason Lao Zhang answered: "Maybe you don't like this job when you close the door, but he does great things." They are the heads of a faction, they are a little younger, but they are more generous than those squires and landlords!"

Liu Kai said stupidly: "That's not right, how can you let us take advantage of it in vain." Don't you have anything to worry about?"

Lao Feng slapped Liu Kai on the head and scolded: "You little brute, you have a ghost in your heart." Your doll must have taken a fancy to the drawings and skills of Guan Zhangmen, and you are afraid that you will offend Guan Zhangmen by leaking this craftsmanship. Bah, why did Liu Da Hammer give birth to such a heart-wrenching baby like you!"

Liu Kai innocently hid to the side and said, "Hmph, even if we don't build a house anymore." However, in the end, we have learned some of the methods of Guan Zhangmen, who can guarantee that they will not be used in the future, and who can pick them up clearly. ”

At this time, the stonemason Zhang Xiaocai also stroked his beard and frowned, and analyzed: "It is said that Guan Zhangmen should be a smart person, but this is a style without scruples at all...... It's really suspicious. ”

When a few people were arguing with each other, a group of people came down from the mountain, and it was Guan Chang and others.

Guan Chang and they were very happy when they saw the house. He never expected Qu Qu's six-person engineering team to build a house so quickly, he thought that it would take two days to walk to see the completed wooden house, and it was a surprise that he could let them live in the house tonight.

Guan Chang bowed his hand to a few old craftsmen and asked with a smile: "How many of you are still satisfied with this house in the late life? What is wrong with these houses, let's change them together?"

A few old guys smiled awkwardly, and finally Liu Kai replied stubbornly: "Guan is a great talent, not only is his martial arts superb, but even this kind of kit kat skills are far superior to others." The house is not to be said, and the process of workmanship has also opened an eye-opener. Just ......"

Liu Kai felt that he was a villain in vain, but this involves the matter of establishing a life and must be said, but how can he speak?

Guan Chang saw his hesitant appearance, and there was a hint of understanding in his heart, so he could only say helplessly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Liu Kai also directly expressed all his doubts, and Zhang Xiaocai also added some, only Feng Lao stubbornly kept silent.

Guan Chang laughed after hearing this: "Understood, understood." I've thought of this for you a long time ago. ”

This matter is nothing to Guan Chang at all, he wants to develop a money-making career outside the door, but there is no need to block other people's financial routes. Besides, the technology given to these people is too basic, and they don't need to cherish themselves. It's just that he saw a few old guys with serious faces, but he had a new plan in his heart.

Anyway, you have to recruit people to build your own outer gate, so why not take them down!

"The first option. Guan Chang held up a finger, "You can use the house-building technology as you like, but don't spread it, I hope you understand." However, you did get some benefits from the next, and Guan didn't need everyone to return the money to me. But in the future, I will build my mountain gate, and I ask you to contribute more and ask for less money. ”

Several craftsmen nodded one after another, this choice was already very reasonable. They vaguely feel that the second option is the key.

"The second option. Guan Chang raised two fingers, "You bring your own disciples to join our sect, you don't need to practice martial arts with us, but you are protected by my sect." From now on, your business will be the business of the sect. After the sharing of the money, we will discuss it in detail, so you don't have to doubt our ability to make money. To tell you the truth, the work in this wooden house is not even on the table in my eyes! Follow me, you can't even dream of what you can build!"

When several old craftsmen heard this, their faces changed in unison. Many of the objects in this wooden house were unheard of by them, and they could just take out the chair and the bed with a cabinet and a hidden compartment to sell it for a lot of money in the county!

Guan Chang didn't know that the rocking chairs and tatami mats he designed on a whim would be so admired by several craftsmen, and he could see that these people were already tempted. However, Guan Chang is not in a hurry, this time he wants to recruit people into the sect, the more secure and loyal the better. If he agreed to it all at once because of a little benefit, Guan Chang didn't dare to accept it.

After Guan Chang finished speaking, he added: "Think about it again, you don't have to rush to agree." Until these houses are built, what I just said will always be valid. ”

Guan Chang had been thinking about what the economic source of a sect should be? On this issue, he could not copy the Shaolin Wudang in the novel. After all, people have incense money as working capital, and after forming a scale, they can lend money to obtain huge profits.

Why did his closed sect stand on its own? His own small family wanted money but no money, and no one wanted people.

Let's not talk about the affairs of the official and bandit families, and these few people are not enough to protect a dart.

Asking for food is something that only the beggars do, and it is not their main business to ask for food, but the tricks of the ruffians are their main source of income.

Not to mention the lack of freedom, it has become the dogleg of the landlord and squire.

It is true that the landlords have some sects, but their own land is rented, so what do they rent to tenants?

Guan Chang didn't want to be tied up by his apprentices, and his income from teaching martial arts was too unstable. How can teachers make money if they don't play make-up classes these days.

Through the science and technology of several sets: food, glass, gunpowder, perfume, spirits, soap? Guan Chang feels that the time is not yet ripe, these things are all profiteering, as long as they appear, they will definitely be targeted.

Guan Chang had already aimed at the "live" industry! The fundamental reason was not that he felt that this thing could make a lot of money.

Since he wants to build a sect, he can't get around the matter of building construction. As a traverser, how can you be sloppy in your daily life, your own sect must be the "most avant-garde, the most modern" sect! Even if there is only one courtyard, it should be the most well-equipped courtyard in the whole country!

However, today he realized that he still underestimated the aura of the traverser, and he didn't expect that a simple wooden house could also bring a business.

The business in his eyes is naturally not the small business of a few craftsmen. What he captured from the conversations of several craftsmen was the huge industrial chain hidden behind the construction industry and even all kinds of craftsmen!

Originally, he thought that the "outer door" only needed to sell a few pieces of new furniture and help the big gate owners to do some fine decoration and new style design. Looking at it now, its own pattern is still too small. There is a lot to be done in this matter, and it must be considered in the long run.
