“Lord Yan is here…!” There was a co the fortress’ main door at the entrance Many stopped in the ’s direction To these artisans, Yan Liqiang was so akin to the celebrities from his previous world due to his reputation
“Good work, everyone! Once the e su smiled and cupped his fist to the artisans His words caused the artisans to cheer i Lord Yan, this metal calabash you invented is really useful! It really saved a lot of our efforts Objects that not even seven or eight people can lift together back then can now easily be lifted by just one person…” The chief artisan that was overlooking the work of the artisans at the entrance gave Yan Liqiang a thumbs-up “Back then, I never believed it when people said that Young Lord Yan is skilled in both literary talents and martial arts, and is apprenticed to a deity But now, I really believe them…!”
The so-called ‘metal calabash’ was none other than the pulley that Yan Liqiang had invented When it was sent to the construction site, the workers thought it looked like a calabash Hence, no one used its aard-sounding name Instead, they just called it a ‘metal calabash’, as this name was lad to hear that The path of ing convenience to people If this metal calabash can save sos easier, then it has served its purpose…” Yan Liqiang spoke, then walked to the fortress wall’s archway and touched the thick metal door which had been installed He reached out to pat on the door that was about a foot thick The door didn’t budge an inch, but a dull noise rang out instead Yan Liqiang looked at it and nodded in approval “Not bad! The inside should be wood, right? Feels pretty sturdy!”
“The inside of the door is black steel hich has been soaked in tung oil for over sixit the bestis about an inch thick, rendering axes and swords ineffective on a door like this!” Lu Wenbin explained, then pointed to the base of the doors
“The dressed stones at the base areseveral thousand jin Behind these ates that can be pulled up or dohen needed with a winch With this additional layer of protection, not even a battering ram can break open the doors so easily The only way to stor over the city walls”
Yan Liqiang looked at Lu Wenbin’s tanned face that had slimmed down a lot and felt a little emotional “You’ve worked hard for the past year!”
“Not at all It’s an honor to serve you, Young Lord I have learned a lot fro in Liuhe Town for the past year!”
Yan Liqiang nodded He briefly examined the base of the doors, then ca we discussed last ti was referring to “I have found the brick factory as requested, Young Lord There’s a big factory on the White Sheep Hill at Qinghe County that produces nice bricks The ht it with only about three thousand taels of silver, along with the workers there Most of the bricks used to build this fortress were produced there As for the construction company, I have recruited a few chief artisans and had theroup of capable workers When they heard that you were the owner, everyone was very willing to join!”
“Good Lead the the fortress and the houses in Liuhe Town first Once done, find a time to officially set up the construction coo, I told the Old Master about you, and he was supportive of it By the time the construction company is established, the Yan Clan will invest in it You will e it while the Yan Clan will own five shares, the Lu Clan will own a share, and you will own four shares The Lu Clan and I are merely shareholders — on’t interfere with the construction company’s affairs You’ll assus for you all to work on later!”
Lu Wenbin couldn’t conceal his excite Lord!”
“Oh right, what hasfor the past two days? Based onto stay idle now that the Aquapyro Engine has been constructed!” Yan Liqiang changed the subject
“The Old Master is setting up a ine in town He’s been in there for the past two days, ine…”
“Haha, that’s pretty ine-powered mill will officially open today in the town’s new street Half of the townsfolk have gone there to watch!”
Yan Liqiang s looked like now even without seeing hie toy to the old blacks had noticed his father’s special interest in the Engine when they were in theto figure out so processes for certain parts that he’d even forgotten to eat or sleep Well, it didn’t reallyfun
“What has been going on in Liuhe Town for the past few days?”
“Oh, nothing much After you returned from the Heavenly Lake, there have beento be apprenticed to you, Young Lord!” Lu Wenbin chuckled “However, they were all sent away aftertheir way to the Yan Residence Old Master Yan told theo to the archery academy if they wished to learn froo back and wait until the new intake this year…”
