April is late spring, and early summer is not coming, with fragrant plants and pleasant climate. In April, the whole of Pingxi County is filled with spring and the fragrance of birds singing and flowers.

In the evening of April 6, the weather was clear and the weather was clear. A black luxury four-wheeled carriage pulled by two magical black rhino dragon horses appeared at the entrance of the city gate to the east of Pingxi City.

The black carriage carriage has a calm temperament. The glass on the door is made of sterling silver-edged glass, which is exquisite and elegant. The carriage carriage is close to the driver's seat, and there is also a exquisite copper dragon and tiger logo. These add up to make it clear that this carriage is a style produced by the Manufacturing Bureau. I heard that the order for the Manufacturing Bureau's four-wheeled carriage has been queued for three years, and the supply is still in short supply. Those who can ride this kind of four-wheeled carriage are naturally either rich or noble.

In front and behind the carriage, eight warriors with deep auras and bows and knives were guarding the carriage. People with this aura and travel style were of course not likely to be stealing people. So the soldiers guarding the city gate just swept these people and put the carriage and the accompanying guards in the city.

The carriage drove into the city and had not walked a hundred meters. I found that there were many people crowding in the alley on the street in front of me. It was very lively. A large number of people lined up in the alley. The queues extended from the alley to the street. The people in the queue were holding pockets, jars and other things, and were talking happily. While the people here were lined up, there were also people carrying pockets or jars and other things, rushing from a distance to join the queue.

If it were another carriage, it might have ignored the people queuing on the street, but when the black carriage saw someone queuing, it stopped on the street. A man's voice came from the carriage window, "Rengui, go and see what's going on!"

"Yes, Second Master!" Hearing the sound from the carriage, a young guard next to him jumped off the rhino dragon horse, then walked into the crowd lined up on the street, chatted with an elderly man for a few words, then came to the window of the carriage, and replied respectfully, "Second Master, a new mill with a water and lighter has been opened in this alley today. The mill owner has a discount for opening a business today, and can grind two liters of rice and flour for the neighbors around him for free, so when people around him hear the news, they all come here to queue up..."

"Okay, I understand, let's go!" After the sound came out, the exquisite glass pallet window of the carriage closed again. The second master who was sitting in the car said in a sigh, "The second master" turned his head and looked at the woman sitting next to him. He said with some sigh, "I only asked someone to buy two water and lighters from the manufacturing bureau last month. Now the two water and lighters are handing over to your sixth uncle. Your sixth uncle is taking the craftsmen at home to study. I heard that he has already made a fuss and imitating it is not difficult, but I didn't expect that there is a mill with water and lighters in Pingxi City. This speed is too fast..."

This "Second Master" is not someone else. It is the second uncle who watched the battle on the hillside when Yan Liqiang competed with Cai Yingwu of Feitianmen on the bank of Tianchi on January 1st. The full name of this second uncle is Zhong Hongzhang. He is the second brother of Zhong Hongyan, the second leader of the Zhong family in Lanzhou, northwest, and the head of the Lan family.

Next to Zhong Hongzhang was a beautiful girl wearing a white dress with picturesque eyebrows and dignified eyes. The girl smiled after hearing Zhong Hongzhang's words, "The Manufacturing Bureau will sell at least 5,000 taels of silver for a four-wheeled carriage. It is simply the first profitable business in the Han Empire. Their water and lighters made only 800 taels of silver, less than one-sixth of a four-wheeled carriage. But I think the manufacturing process of the water and lighters is not simpler than the four-wheeled carriage, and it is even more complicated and troublesome. The cost is not much cheaper. The Manufacturing Bureau has such a manpower. Instead of busy building a four-wheeled carriage, he is willing to devote his energy to this relatively unprofitable water and lighters. Second Uncle, what does Yan Liqiang want to do..."

"Uh..." As the girl next to her looked at her, Zhong Hongzhang frowned slightly, then touched his beard, thought for a while before speaking, "I heard that the water and light machine was invented by Yan Liqiang and Zhang Yourong, the world's number one master of the mechanism, even the Lingshan School Qianjitang recognizes this. Because of this reason, many people have compared Yan Liqiang's attainments in the way of investigating things with Zhang Yourong, and believe that Yan Liqiang's realm in the way of investigating things is not inferior to Zhang Yourong. Yan Liqiang asked the Manufacturing Bureau to build water and light machine. If he did not want to make money, he would naturally be a name. Wherever the water and light machine was passed, his reputation would naturally be heard. If a person has a good reputation, he can naturally bring countless benefits. Just like now, the world's mechanism and light machine masters have already said that Dong, Zhang and Xiyan!"

"What the second uncle said is of course correct, but for some reason, I always feel that Yan Liqiang asked the Manufacturing Bureau to trouble making a water and lighter, maybe it has other intentions!"

"Oh, according to Ruolan, if Yan Liqiang does not make money or reputation, then why?"

Zhong Ruolan frowned slightly and said, "Perhaps, he just wanted to make water and lighters more popular and used by more people, and even didn't mind others buying them to randomly imitate the business of the money-making gun manufacturing bureau!"

"From my life experience, one person must have a purpose to do something. If Yan Liqiang does it for money or reputation, it can only be because of a bigger purpose. However, if someone buys this water and lighter or imitates it, it has nothing to do with him no matter how it is used. Even the Prime Minister and the Northwest Transportation Instructor can buy it and find someone to imitate it. He doesn't care. Why is it because he has to work hard to do this?"

Zhong Ruolan sighed quietly, "This is exactly what I am confused and unable to understand. I have thought about it over and over again, but I don't know why he did this. I really can't see through this person..."

"It doesn't matter. If you don't understand, you can watch it slowly. This time we came to Pingxi County for him. Although our young generation in the Zhong family is full of talents, the head of the family has chosen this time. Among the many young people, in terms of age, ability, appearance, and all aspects, only Ruolan is the best candidate for you. It is suitable to come to Pingxi County with me!" Zhong Hongzhang looked at his niece with a meaningful look, "This time the important task is also on you."

Hearing Zhong Hongzhang's words, Zhong Ruolan's eyes flowed, and a layer of bright clouds flew on her face, which was so beautiful that it was so beautiful, but her expression was still calm, and she even said with a hint of determination and arrogance on her face, "Don't worry, the head of the family has already talked to me before I came. The head of the family said that the Zhong family is not the Zhong family alone, but the Zhong family of all the Zhong family. I am also a member of the Zhong family, and I know what to do..."

"That's good. Looking at the young talents of the northwest states, no one can compare to Yan Liqiang. Last time I saw him in Tianchi from afar. From a distance, Yan Liqiang was still a handsome young man with a tall figure and elegant style!"

"Second Uncle..." Zhong Ruolan's face turned redder and she said coquettishly...

"Hahaha, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore. When you see Yan Liqiang, you will know that the second uncle has not lie to you..." Zhong Hongzhang suddenly laughed, and then sighed, "The Lu family in Pingxi County is lucky!"

The black carriage was slowly passing through Pingxi City. After a while, the carriage came to another street in Pingxi City. It was almost time to finish the meal. At the door of a newly opened "Yan Shanyi Hall" on that street, there were many beggars and young people queuing, holding bowls and chopsticks, and picking up porridge, vegetables and steamed buns at the door of Shantang. After they were brought one by one, they squatted on the side of the road, eating with relish...

When the black carriage passed by Yan's Shanyi Hall, the window of the carriage opened again. The people inside looked at the sign of "Yan's Shanyi Hall" and did not stop the carriage, but continued walking.
