cond.Yang Lin didn't intend to make clothes himself, so he had to find a tailor shop. When the women learned that Yang Lin was going to make clothes for them, their earlier displeasure vanished instan...Ten cents a day!

They couldn't even imagine this number.

If I could really make that much money, I could afford to eat rice and white noodles every now and then.

During festivals and special occasions, you can even cut a bit of meat to taste.

"Yang Lin, what skills are you looking for I'm a mason, does that count" someone asked.

"Let's go!"

Yang Lin readily agreed.

The crowd was even more astonished.

Can a bricklayer earn ten cash

"What about me What about me I learned blacksmithing from my father since I was little, now I can forge by myself!"

"OK."

Yang Lin nodded again.

The villagers were in an uproar, clamoring to see if they were capable.

However, out of these sixty or seventy people, only five were ultimately chosen.

These five people were all overjoyed, but also a little uneasy. They didn't know what Yang Lin wanted them to do after spending so much money on them

Even the women don't understand what Yang Lin is trying to do.

"Zhang Ge, you lead ten people up the mountain to cut down trees."

"Uncle Li, you take twenty people to mine stones in the back mountain."

"Women and children stayed at the tofu workshop to learn how to make tofu, while everyone else followed Uncle Zhao to dig the foundation."

After making arrangements for those people, Yang Lin finally came to the side of the five people.

At this moment, all five people became tense.

"Yang Lin, I only know how to lay bricks. Maybe you should give me a little less money. With so much, I feel uncomfortable holding onto it."

The other four also nodded in agreement.

They themselves don't think they are worth that much money.

Yang Lin said: "Don't worry, everyone. I didn't spend so much money for nothing. This job has one condition, which is that you need to stay in one place for a very long time!"

"For this period, you must stay there and not return home. Also, keep what you are doing a secret!"

What you see and hear there, you must not tell anyone.

"Rest assured, the place to work is right here in our mountain village. The tasks are not tiring, and they're even easier than their jobs."

Yang Lin pointed to the villagers who had been assigned tasks and were leaving.

"There, I will provide you with everything you need for food, clothing, and shelter. And before you go there, I can advance you a month's wages to leave with your family."

"After three months of work, the pay doubles to twenty wen a day! At the end of the year, bonuses will be given based on each person's performance."

"Now, if you're willing to do this job, come here and collect your payment. After receiving the money, go home first, and then I'll take you to the work site."

"If you're unwilling, then all you can do is find other work. But the pay will be the same as everyone else's, five cents a day."

Hearing that they could receive advance payment before work even began, and three months later, earn twenty cash per day All five of them were excited and beaming with joy.

How could I possibly say no to such a good thing.

Yang Lin advanced five people's wages, and several of them hurried home to pay it back.

After the five men left, all the women gathered around.

"My husband, what kind of work are you talking about"

"Yes, that much money I just can't understand it. What kind of work is worth so much"

"There aren't many places to do work, sir. Where do you want to arrange them"

Li Yuyao, however, thought of something and asked: "Remember that day you had a cousin who came to our village and then was never seen again…"

Yang Lin smiled and said, "My wife is so thoughtful. Everyone wants to know what I'm going to have them do, don't they Come on, let's go take a look."

Not long after, all the villagers who had gone back to collect money returned.

Yang Lin led the curious women and five artisans back to the village, arriving at the house he had purchased for Du Jing. Only then did everyone realize that the house Yang Lin had chosen had high walls and a tightly shut gate, completely obscuring the interior from view.

Yang Lin lightly knocked on the door, and someone came to open it soon.

The door creaked open a crack, and Wang Gui's head poked out. Seeing that it was Yang Lin, he swung the door wide open.

The women were some surprised.

Given Uncle Du Jing's residence, how could Wang Gui be here

And sneaking around like that, what on earth is going on here

Come in.

Yang Lin called out to the crowd.

"Once you enter this door, none of us will be able to leave for a while."

Yang Lin reminded.

Five craftsmen didn't hesitate, for they had been prepared to face fire and water even before they arrived.

And now, it's only the beginning, what's there to be afraid of

As soon as they entered, they saw two familiar faces and a stranger in the yard.

"Wang Gui Zhao Shunzi What are you doing here"

Several people were surprised.

But soon they all reacted, Wang Gui was a carpenter and Zhao Shunzi was an ironsmith. They were all like themselves, skilled artisans.

"Great, finally someone is here."

Du Jing walked over, very excited.

"This is my cousin, Du Jing. You all listen to his arrangements for your work here." Yang Lin introduced.

Du Jing was already eager and called over the five people, inquiring about their strengths and abilities, then immediately arranged them.

The women still don't understand what Yang Lin is doing. They have no idea what he's trying to accomplish.

Sister Three, Liao Hongying, however, was staring into the courtyard. Her eyes were fixed on a stone stove nestled within.

“This...is a blast furnace, isn't it It's different from an ordinary blacksmith's forge.” Liao Hongying asked.

Yang Lin was a little surprised: "Have you seen this"

"Uh..."

Liao Hongying hesitated to speak.

She had seen similar furnaces in the craftsman camp of her father's army.

Unlike ordinary blacksmith forges, this furnace can refine iron ore into molten iron, directly casting weapons!

But now that Yang Lin asked, she found it hard to explain.

Yang Lin didn't think much of it and nodded: "Yes, this is indeed a smelting furnace. I plan to use it here to improve ironware."

Making steel was his initial plan, something he could conceal from outsiders. However, there was no need to hide it from his own women.

"Improvement"

All the women were astonished.

Yang Lin nodded. "These past two days, I've been researching this with Jing Ge. Our Great Qi ironware currently has two major flaws."

One is that the hardness is not enough, the other is that it is difficult to cast, and often needs to be forged before it can be shaped.

"Forged ironware is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it's also impossible to mass-produce and incapable of creating precision parts."

So what we need to do is improve these two points and create a cast iron piece made in one go!

But women have yet to understand.

"Improved iron tools What use would they be" Liao Hongying asked in puzzlement.

The rest of them also looked puzzled.

Ironware It's very good to use.

They did not feel Yang Lin's shortcomings.

"What is the effect"

"That's too much!"one kill a bandit on the street, they only felt exhilaration!One head landed, and the two bandits who had just been so scared they wet their pants immediately fainted.Only the one who remained conscio...
