Chapter 216 Iron Horn!
Although what Li Xuan described was not that accurate.

However, fortunately, the forge already had clay molds.

Therefore, according to Li Xuan's description, Ying Qi and Wu Fu quickly made a simple tinplate trumpet out of mud.

"Exactly this thing!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, "It's just that the front piece needs to be bigger!"

"Yes!"

Ying Qi and Wu Fu agreed.

Quickly adjusted according to the style Li Xuan wanted.

Then, the molten iron is poured on the clay mold.

After cooling down, a simple tinplate horn appeared in front of Li Xuan.

Li Xuan picked it up and brought it to his mouth.

Under the curious eyes of Ying Qi and Wu Fu, they called out softly: "Cheng Chusi!"

Suddenly, a huge shout came out from the mouth of the horn.

"Fantastic!"

Both Ying Qi and Wu Fu couldn't help showing surprise.

Cheng Chusi, Changsun Chong and the others who were feeding the group of hogs couldn't help being stunned and looking around.

"Can you hear Master calling me?" Cheng Chusi asked with a look of surprise.

"I heard it too!" "I heard it too!"

Chang Sun Chong and Fang Yizhi both spoke with uncertain faces.

"But, didn't Master go to the forge? So far away?"

"No, Master must be calling me!"

Cheng Chusi's expression changed slightly, he quickly put down the bucket in his hand, and ran to the forge.

Behind them, Chang Sun Chong and Fang Yizhi shook their heads helplessly.

"How can the master's voice come through such a long distance?"

In the forging workshop, after Li Xuan confirmed that the iron horn was good, he handed it over to Ying Qi and Wu Fu.The tinplate horn was polished again.

This time, Ying Qi and Wu Fu did not dare to treat the iron trumpet in their hands as a simple object, but polished it seriously.

"Master, are you calling me?"

Cheng Chusi raised his voice and walked in directly from the outside.

"Nonsense, when did I call you a bastard!"

Li Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and cursed.

"jerk?"

Cheng Chusi wasn't very angry, but just smiled.

"Master is really knowledgeable, and I learned another curse word!"

Li Xuan looked helpless.

"My lord, this iron horn has been polished!"

On the side, Ying Qi and Wu Fu also polished the tinplate horn, and raised their hands in front of Li Xuan.

"Huh? Master, what kind of good thing is this?"

Seeing this, a trace of astonishment flashed in Cheng Chusi's eyes.

With that said, he directly took it with one hand.

"Master, isn't this an iron cylinder..."

Looking back and forth, Cheng Chusi didn't find anything special, so he turned his head to Li Xuan and said doubtfully.

"Shut up!"

As soon as Li Xuan's expression changed, he subconsciously took two steps back.

"Ok?"

And Cheng Chusi was also surprised.

With wide eyes, he looked down at the iron tube in front of him, his face full of disbelief!

"Master, what kind of fetish is this?"

The words he spoke were still like thunder.

"Keep it away from your mouth!"

Li Xuan shouted helplessly.

"Oh!"

Cheng Chusi suddenly realized.

Afterwards, putting the trumpet in their hands behind their backs, Li Xuan, Ying Qi and the others subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"This thing is called an iron horn, and it can amplify the sound!"

Li Xuan explained to Cheng Chusi.

"Iron horn, iron horn..."

Cheng Chusi muttered twice to himself.

Afterwards, he was overjoyed.

Holding the horn, he walked out.

"Li Chongyi...Fang Yizhi..."

"Changsun Chong... Baolin..."

"Li Baoding..."

Soon, loud shouts spread from the forge to the entire Li Family Village.

Everyone, without stopping their work, looked towards the forge with astonishment on their faces.

Li Chengqian, Li Chongyi and the others frowned subconsciously, feeling a bad premonition in their hearts.

"This bastard, why did his voice suddenly become so loud, like thunder?"

Then, they heard Cheng Chusi's loud voice getting closer and closer to them.

Soon, they saw Cheng Chusi, holding a shiny iron cylinder that looked like a gourd, walking towards them with a happy face.

And that voice seemed to come from inside the iron cylinder.

"Cheng Chusi, what is this thing?"

"But Master's newly invented fetish?"

"Come on, come on, Cheng Chusi, I'll shout too!"

Before Cheng Chusi could react, the iron horn in his hand had been snatched away by Li Chongyi, Li Chengqian and others.

Li Chongyi directly held the trumpet and asked Cheng Chusi.

Seeing this, Cheng Chusi's face changed drastically. "No!"

However, it was obviously too late.

Although Li Chongyi's voice was not loud, he amplified the nearly two-foot-long speaker, which directly made Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi's ears buzzing.

"So amazing?"

Li Chongyi's face was full of joy.

As he spoke, he couldn't help shouting again.

Seeing this, Cheng Chusi couldn't bear it any longer, quickly grabbed the iron horn, and shouted at Li Chongyi.

"You bastard..."

When Li Xuan walked over, he saw these bastards, one after the other, holding up their horns and shouting at each other.

His eyes were stunned, did he accept a group of mentally handicapped disciples?
"A bunch of bastards!"

After walking in, Li Xuan's mind was also buzzing, and he couldn't help but frowned and shouted angrily.

"This thing, my master, forged it for the housekeeper Li Chang, not for you to play around with!"

"Yes, Master!"

Li Xuan glared at it, took the iron horn, and handed it over to Li Chang who was watching eagerly from the side.

"From today onwards, this iron horn will be in your custody, and you can use it to speak out when paying wages to those craftsmen and laborers!"

"Thank you king!"

Li Chang shouted excitedly.

"In addition, while the farmers are still free, the general and the supervisor will gather more labor or craftsmen, so you don't have to worry about spending money!"

Li Xuan said again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Chang replied.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, Li Chang held the iron trumpet tightly as if he was holding a rare treasure, and hurriedly walked towards the general supervisor Sun Nian and Chu Suiliang.

Convey Li Xuan's words to the two of them.

Since the king of Jin is not afraid of spending money, Gongsun Nian naturally won't save money.

The next day, there were more than 200 craftsmen and laborers on the construction site.

Every day, it only costs two pennies at most, and Li Xuan doesn't care about this amount at all.

In this way, the construction of Li Xuan's other courtyard is in full swing.

As for Li Xuan, it was as relaxed and leisurely as ever.

Except for the very beginning, Sun Nian, the general supervisor, brought a few master craftsmen to talk to him about the architectural layout and details of the other courtyard, and Li Xuan didn't ask much.

Just wish it was possible to build a two story, maybe even a three story house.

Then, there needs to be a bathroom, washroom, and hut in the house.

For the rest, Sun Nian, the general supervisor, and a group of master craftsmen have combined Li Xuan's intentions to come up with the general structure and layout of the entire courtyard.

Finally, seeing the planned courtyard, Li Xuan suddenly realized that he was not building a courtyard, but a castle!
As the weather gets warmer, the glass sheds in Lijiazhuang are gradually dismantling the glass and steel bars.

Reveal the green and lush vegetables inside.

At the same time, Li Xuan also asked Chu Suiliang to purchase more than 300 mu of land around Lijiazhuang.

These fields are all barren and uncultivated. Wannian County readily sold them to Li Xuan!
