"Young Master Yan is here..." The craftsmen who were installing the fort gate under the door opening of the fort wall were in a commotion. Many people stopped what they were doing and looked at Yan Liqiang. Yan Liqiang's fame at this moment was a real big shot for these craftsmen, just like the stars in Yan Liqiang's previous life.

"Thank you all, thank you everyone, I have installed the door today. I will have someone to add food to everyone and have a tooth sacrifice to the next night..." Yan Liqiang smiled and bowed to the group of craftsmen, and the craftsmen cheered suddenly.

"Young Master Yan, the iron gourd you invented is so easy to use. It saves a lot of effort for us who work hard. In the past, seven or eight people might not be able to hang things, but now one person can hang them easily..." A craftsman who was commanding a group of craftsmen at the door gave Yan Liqiang a thumbs up, "In the past, others said that Young Master Yan can be literary and martial, and can worship gods and be masters, but I don't believe it, but now I believe it..."

The iron gourd is the pulley set invented by Yan Liqiang. After being used on the construction site, the workers on the construction site looked a bit like a gourd, so it is not called a difficult name like a pulley set. It is directly called its iron gourd, which is easy to remember and catchy.

"Hahaha, as long as you can, this mechanism of studying things is originally people-oriented and used to facilitate people. This iron gourd can save everyone some effort and make everyone less hard work when working. It is not considered a waste of time to come to this world..." Yan Liqiang said, expecting to walk under the door hole of the fort wall, touched the thick iron-packed gate that had been installed on the side, and reached out to pat it. The foot-thick wall gate made a dull sound, not moving at all. Yan Liqiang looked at it and nodded, "No, not bad, this thing should be wood inside, it feels quite solid!"

"The inside of this gate is covered with black steel wood that has been soaked in tung oil for more than half a year. It is as hard as iron, but not as heavy as iron. It is most suitable for use in this bag of iron gate. The iron bread on the outside of this black steel wood is one inch thick. Such a knife and axe will not hurt at all!" Lu Wenbin explained, pointing to the foundations on both sides of the gate. "The foundations under this gate are made of large stones of more than six feet, and each piece weighs several thousand kilograms. There is also an iron gate in the door hole behind these two iron gates. The iron gate is usually pulled up with a winch and put it down when needed. In this way, the iron gate and the iron gate are combined. Even if you use a rushing car, it is difficult to break open. If you want to attack for a strong force, you can only climb the city wall..."

Yan Liqiang looked at Lu Wenbin's dark and thin face and sighed, "Thank you for the hard work over the past year!"

"It's not hard work, it's my blessing to be able to do things for the young master. I have gained a lot of skills in Liuhe Town for more than a year!"

Yan Liqiang nodded, looked under the door opening, and then retreated, "By the way, how did you tell you last time?"

Lu Wenbin certainly knew what Yan Liqiang was talking about, "I have already looked at the brick kiln that made me burn big bricks. Just in Baiyangpo, Qinghe County, there is a big kiln. The big bricks are good. Just as the shopkeeper of the brick kiln wanted to take action, I bought them. It only cost more than 3,000 taels of silver. The workers inside were also kept. Many big bricks on the wall were burned by the kiln. I also pulled a few craftsmen and picked a group of people who could endure hardships and do it. They heard that the shopkeeper behind them was the young master, and they were very active and willing to join!"

"Yes, you can take them to build the fort and houses in Liuhe Town. After these are done, find some time to officially establish the builder group. A few days ago, I told the old man about you, and the old man also supported him. After the builder group was established, our Yan family will contribute capital. You are the shopkeeper. The Yan family accounts for 50% of the shares of the group, and the Lu family accounts for 10%. You invest with your own abilities and abilities. The Lu family and I are just shareholders. However, if you ask about the specific affairs of the builder group, you will have the final say in the daily life of the builder group. I have something to leave to you later!"

Lu Wenbin couldn't hide his excitement and a smile appeared on his face, "All it is up to the young master's arrangement!"

"By the way, what has my father been doing these two days? Based on my understanding of him, he will definitely not be idle after the water and lighter comes out!" Yan Liqiang asked an outsider.

"The old man planned to use a water lighter to open a mill in the town. In the past two days, the old man has been soaking in the mill and making up the water lighter..."

"Haha, this is almost the same as I think!"

"Today, the water and lighter mill officially opened. It was on the new street in the town. Half of the town went to watch the fun!"

Yan Liqiang smiled. He didn't even have to look at it, and he could imagine what Yan Dechang looked like at this moment. This water lighter was more like a big toy to Yan Dechang, an old blacksmith. It aroused Yan Dechang's passion and curiosity all at once. When he was in the manufacturing bureau, Yan Liqiang discovered that Yan Dechang was particularly interested in water lighter. In order to understand the principles of water lighter and the manufacturing process of some of the components, Yan Dechang was almost at the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. Well, just be good to have fun as my father.

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

"There is no big deal. But after the young master came back from Tianchi this time, people kept coming to Liuhe Town from thousands of miles to find him to learn his skills!" Lu Wenbin also smiled, "But after those people found the Yan family, they were sent away. Mr. Yan asked them to tell them that if they wanted to learn the skills, they would go to the Gongdao Club, and then the Gongdao Club told them to wait until the Gongdao Club recruits people this year..."

Yan Liqiang also laughed...

...

After waiting for more than half an hour, the door on the other side of the door opening was initially secured and could be opened and closed. The door opening was cleared out, and Yan Liqiang directly brought his people into Liuhe Town.

As Lu Wenbin said, at this moment, most people in Liuhe Town went to the newly opened mill to watch the fun. When Lingshan School sent the water and lighters, they were in the Yan family's yard. There were not many people. This time Yan Dechang directly used a water and lighters to open a mill, and everyone could go, so it caused a sensation all of a sudden...

In the distance, before Yan Liqiang could reach Xin Street in the town, he saw a large area of ​​people gathering around a house on Xin Street, making a lot of noise, and countless people kept marveling.

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

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

...

Of course, Yan Liqiang did not go to join in the fun, but returned to the Yan family directly. As soon as he returned to the Yan family, Yan Liqiang asked someone to call Butler Zhou over.

Butler Zhou hurried to the flower hall.

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

Butler Zhou was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Yan Liqiang would care about such trivial matters. However, when Yan Liqiang asked, he still had to speak, "Young Master said it well. There are indeed many places in Qinghe County raising sheep, and many people in the village survive by raising sheep, and our family also raises sheep!"

"Oh, our family also raises sheep?" Yan Liqiang really didn't know when the family raised sheep. The business was so big that he did not pay attention to these things.

"Well, our family has more than a hundred sheep. It was because the old man saw that there were two old tenants in the town who had no children and had poor jobs. He couldn't do heavy work and had no income. So he often asked me to give them some rice and flour. The two old men were embarrassed to receive the favor of the old man for nothing, saying that they could herd sheep and wanted to herd sheep for our family, so I bought some lambs for them to sheep every day!"

"Oh, what sheep are we put in our house? Goats or sheep?"

"Of course it's a sheep. The goat eats grass and roots. When there are more goats, the hillsides, grass and roadside grass can be eaten up. They have to drive the sheep everywhere to find grass. They are so tired that the sheep eats grass that they don't get roots. After eating grass, the grass can grow out after two days, so it's easy to feed. Most of the sheep raised in Qinghe County also raises sheep!"

Yan Liqiang rubbed his chin, "Well, I will tell you something, find a capable manager in the family, go to those villages with a lot of sheep and the homes of wealthy families, and buy all the wool for me..."

"What?" Butler Zhou, who looked honest, thought he had heard it wrong, "Young Master is going to buy sheepskin?"

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

Yan Liqiang said it again, and the housekeeper Zhou realized that he had heard it was wrong. But he looked incredible and swallowed his saliva, "Young Master, that wool is a useless thing. When killing sheep, you only need sheepskin, and you eat mutton. The wool was lost. No one wanted it at all. What did the wool be bought for?"

If Lu Wenbin was there, he wouldn't ask Yan Liqiang what to buy wool to do, because that was not a question that a smart subordinate should ask. However, the housekeeper of the Yan family was very honest and said anything in his heart. Yan Liqiang didn't mind and explained patiently, "You will know in the future. Go ahead and do it first. You have to be responsible for this matter. Don't be careless. The more wool you collect, the better. A new warehouse is built by the river. Put the wool you collect in sacks and put it in the new warehouse to store it. Let people look forward to it. Don't catch a fire. Then let the wool who collects it look around in Pingxi County. Where is the land in Pingxi County suitable for raising sheep? In a few days, I will buy a few pieces of land suitable for raising sheep!"

"Okay, young master, don't worry, I'll make arrangements now!" Although Mr. Zhou didn't understand, he nodded seriously and said nothing more. "Is there anything else to explain to the young master?"

"No more, just this matter, you go down!"
