Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"Master Hou, Lin bought 120,000 jin of brass from a merchant in the country of Japan, and it has all been shipped to Lantian County!"

The next day, early morning.

Lin Wenyuan came to Yongan Houfu and reported to Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan was overjoyed and said, "So fast? Good! One hundred and twenty thousand catties, plus Mr. Wang has already rolled out the production line at the bile alum mine. We should not be short of brass in Lantian County in a short time! Boss Lin, you are doing a great favor to Benhou!"

He just received the news the day before yesterday that the production line at Lantian County's bile vitriol mine has been completed. According to Wang Ji's estimation, the brass production of this bile vitriol mine in the first month should be about 3000 jin. , Although it sounds a bit less, but in this copper-deficient era, it is already quite a lot!

What's more, as the subsequent refining process matures, the monthly output of brass will inevitably increase greatly. At that time, it is estimated that the Tang Dynasty will also pay attention to the wet copper smelting technology. The bile alumite mines in the world will definitely become very popular. !

"Where! It's Lin's honor to work for Hou Ye!"

Lin Wenyuan leaned slightly and quickly arched his hands.

Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said, "Boss Lin doesn't need to be too modest! Now that he has such a huge amount of brass, Benhou can arrange for people to erect wires in Lantian County! By then, the people in Lantian County can also be like Yanhuang Academy. I'm using electric lights! Among them, you must remember Boss Lin's work!"

"How dare you!"

Lin Wenyuan arched his hands, suddenly his eyes flashed, and sighed: "Lin just moved his family from Chang'an City to Lantian County a few days ago. I didn't expect to be able to enjoy the magical thing like electric lights immediately. It was because of the favor of Lord Hou! So the matter of changing the brass for Lord Hou was to help Lin Mou himself after all, Lin Mou dare not take credit!

Li Zexuan chuckled and asked, "Oh? Boss Lin has settled in Lantian County? Where can I need Benhou's help?"

"Settled! Settled! The house that Lin bought is in Yonganfang, just a few steps away from the Hou Mansion!"

Lin Wenyuan smiled and arched his hands.

Although the population of Lantian County has soared in recent months, it is basically difficult to find a place, housing prices and shop prices have risen a lot, especially in Yonganfang where Houfu is located. Those who can live here are either rich or expensive, ordinary people. I can't afford to buy a house here, but Lin Wenyuan is one of the first members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce anyhow. It is not difficult for him to buy a house in Yonganfang with his wealth!

As for why he put his home in Yonganfang, he knew it naturally!

"Oh? Doesn't Boss Lin become neighbors with Benhou?"

Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Lin Wenyuan hurriedly said: "Dare not! Lin is just to be able to better listen to Lord Hou's dispatch!"

Li Zexuan declined to comment on this, but instead asked with a smile: "If boss Lin has trouble doing business in Lantian County in the future, he can come to Benhou. If things are within the law, Benhou may be able to help you one or two!"

Officials in this era generally despise merchants, but Li Zexuan never underestimated merchants. The sales of workshop products and the prosperity of Lantian County today have their shadows behind them. Sometimes, Li Zexuan is also willing to give merchants some benefits. Let them help them develop the fief!

"Thank you Lord Hou!"

Lin Wenyuan's heart was suddenly full of great surprises. He got up and handed over to Li Zexuan, "Hou Ye will be sent later, but Lin will be there on call!"

Li Zexuan thought for a while, then smiled and asked, "It's June now, how is Lang Linhao preparing for the exam?"

Hearing Li Zexuan mentioning Lin Hao, Lin Wenyuan’s old face was immediately filled with relief. He smiled and said, “I’m worried about Lord Lao. Dog has been preparing for exams under the guidance of Mr. Han Xiao for more than half a year. He has never slackened. This boy, the old man, watched him grow up, but he has never seen him so concerned about anything. It can also be seen that he really wants to be admitted to an academic holy place like Yanhuang Academy!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "If you work hard, you will gain nothing. If you work so hard, you will definitely gain something!"

Immediately, he felt that it seemed a bit wrong to say that, just like suggesting that Lin Wenyuan would secretly "send" his son to Yanhuang Academy, so he quickly added:

"But even if Linglang accidentally fails in the examination room, it doesn't matter. Now the Lin family is considered a member of Lantian County. Lin Hao can go directly to the county school. Many of the county schools are teachers who have taught at Yanhuang Academy. After studying for a year and a half, and then entering the Yanhuang Academy, the success rate will be greatly increased!"

Under normal circumstances, Li Zexuan would not open the back door for the admissions of the academy. At the beginning, royal children like Li Ke and Li Tai approached the Yanhuang Academy by their own ability. Even if Lin Wenyuan helped Li Zexuan do more things, Li Zexuan would not open the back door for his son Lin Hao.

Hearing this, Lin Wenyuan's eyes flashed an imperceptible disappointment, mainly because Li Zexuan's first half of the sentence gave him hope, otherwise he would not feel a little disappointed!

"What Hou Ye said! Lin decided to move his family to Lantian County, and he also had this consideration! After all, in other states and counties, it is basically impossible for merchants' children to enter the local government school!"

Lin Wenyuan folded his hands and smiled.

At this moment, he has already figured it out in his heart, because he is undoubtedly much happier than businessmen in other places!

"Lantian County's prosperity today relies on the prosperity and vigorous development of commerce. It is inseparable from the efforts of the business people behind it. Benhou will not squeeze out merchants and their children like officials in other states and counties!"

Li Zexuan said solemnly.

"Master Hou is generous!"

Lin Wenyuan arched his hands, and then he seemed to think of something suddenly, and said embarrassedly: "Speaking of commerce in Lantian County, Lin recently planned to build an inn for business and business travelers to rest, but this is based on the construction of the inn. But I have encountered a lot of problems. I wonder if Lord Hou can help me?"

"Build an inn? What kind of inn does Mr. Lin plan to build?"

According to Lin Wenyuan, this inn is definitely not an ordinary inn, otherwise he would not come to ask for help, Li Zexuan couldn't help but asked curiously.

Lin Wenyuan replied with his hands: "Hou Ye, Lin intends to build a six-story inn with reinforced concrete and glazed glass to imitate the style of the Yunshan Courtyard. The interior decorations are all imitations of the Yunshan Courtyard, with sofas. There are transparent glass windows and so on! I hope Lord Hou will allow it!"

If you change to a superior, you will definitely not agree. After all, the superiors are bossy. They don't want someone to imitate their own home to build an inn, but Li Zexuan doesn't care much about this, but Lin Wenyuan can see the potential value of Yunshan Courtyard And unearthed it, which surprised him a bit. He waved his hand and said:

"Boss Lin spent his own money to build the inn. What can I disagree with? If you like the architectural style of Yunshan Courtyard, I have some similar drawings here. You can use them when you come! But then again. After Mr. Lin’s inn is built, wouldn’t it be cheap to stay one night?"

When the Yunshan Courtyard was built, Li Zexuan not only designed a set of drawings, but also had many spares. Now he has no energy to build a house, so it would be nice to use it to give Lin Wenyuan a favor!

Lin Wenyuan looked surprised, and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for the picture! After this inn is completed, Lin hopes that it will become a major landmark in Lantian County. In terms of price, it should be slightly more expensive than other inns!"

Immediately, he looked embarrassed and hesitated: "However, this inn needs a lot of cement to build, and craftsmen who know how to build cement buildings are needed. Lin Mou dares, please be able to help him!"

"Cement, craftsman!"

Li Zexuan's heart moved and said, "The workshop now has a lot of cement stocks that can be transferred to you. As for the craftsmen, Benhou has an idea. Can you see if it works?"

Lin Wenyuan respectfully said, "Master Hou, please speak!"

Li Zexuan said slowly: "When Yanhuang Academy and Yunshan Courtyard were built before, most of the craftsmen were locals in Lantian County. What I thought was that Ruoyunshan Courtyard’s style buildings could be influenced by merchants. If you like it, Benhou can let some people who know how to build in Zhuangzi set up a construction team to specialize in the construction of this style of building! It is convenient for you, and it can also allow the people to earn more and live a life. Better! What do you think?"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Lord Hou is very clever!"

Lin Wenyuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Master Hou, you know that there are definitely not a few merchants in Lantian County who have Lin's ideas. They also want to build a bright, clean, beautiful, tall and sturdy house like Yunshan Courtyard. But they don’t have cement, and they don’t have skilled craftsmen. If Hou Ye really intends to let the people form a construction team, there will be a lot of businessmen who will hire them by then!"

When Li Zexuan heard this, he immediately made a decision: "That's good! Benhou first let Hanjiazhuang and Meicun set up an engineering team, and then supply a batch of cement to boss Lin. After your inn starts construction, Benhou will encourage People in other villages set up construction teams and opened several cement plants to step up production of cement!"

Lin Wenyuan said gratefully: "Thank you Lord Hou! It's just that Lin Mou is bold, and I ask Lord Hou to help give Lin a name for this inn!"

Li Zexuan looked weird and said, "You asked me to name your inn? Are you sure?"

Lin Wenyuan had a bad premonition inexplicably in his heart, but since the words were said, there was no reason to take them back, so he bit the bullet and said:

"Please give your name to Lord Hou~!"

Li Zexuan was helpless, he pretended to think for a while, and then said with some evil fun, "It's called the Dragon Inn~!"

"Longmen Inn?"

Lin Wenyuan suddenly felt suspicious when he heard it. Why did Lord Hou want to name him Longmen Inn? I heard that there is a Longmen County in Jiangzhou, Hedong Road. Is there any connection between Hou Ye and there? Have time to check it out!

Li Zexuan didn't know that his little evil taste was involved in a big incident!

Now that the brass is in place and the dozens of bicycles handed over to Lin Wenyuan have all been replaced, Li Zexuan immediately ordered to start erecting wires for Lantian County, and the second-generation bicycles at the workshop have also begun to enter full mass production. !

As for the electric bicycles, Li Zexuan intends to push it back for a while. After all, it will take some time to set up electric wires and let the electricity go to all households in the county. There is no point in selling electric bicycles before this.

In addition, in the afternoon, Li Zexuan called Lao Hu, Liu Qingfeng, and Liu Wanshan to talk to them about the establishment of a joint construction team in Meicun and Hanjiazhuang!

"Master, if we set up a construction team to help others build houses like Yunshan's other courtyard, we naturally have no problem, but the wheat in the field is about to be harvested. In this busy farming season, no one in the village will be willing to work in the city. of!"

Hearing this, the old man scratched his head and said.

Liu Erye also nodded in agreement: "The little nonsense is right, we farmers naturally want to focus on the crops, but we can't let the crops rot in the ground just to make money in the city!"

This cannot be blamed on Hu Hanyun and Liu Erye for not giving Li Zexuan's face, but the farmers always value the crops more than anything else~www.ltnovel.com~ This concept has been deeply rooted, and no one can change it.

Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Hu, Erye Liu, harvesting crops does not conflict with going to work in the city! I didn't say that everyone in the village should join the construction team. This is not realistic, and only a small part of it needs to understand. The young man who was built can join the construction team, and the rest can still harvest the crops on the farm! Take a step back, even if there is not enough manpower, it will be a big deal when the time comes to go to the farm and ask someone to help harvest the crops. , Because the construction team is absolutely rewarded!"

Hearing this, a few people looked at each other, and finally Liu Erye said, "That's okay! The young master can rest assured, we will go back to recruit people, set up a construction team, and then go to the county to help people build houses!"

"Ok!"

Li Zexuan nodded.

Liu Qingfeng hesitated at this time: "Master, where should I buy the cement that the engineering team needs?"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Liu Lizheng, you don't need to worry about this, I have already arranged it! In addition, I can also choose a few suitable locations in the near future, and open a few more cement workshops, then there will be no shortage of cement. Up!"

Liu Qingfeng nodded and said, "That's good!"

Then, several people got up and said goodbye.

Seeing them leaving behind, Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He has always wanted to increase the income of the people. Before, he promoted bean sprouts and greenhouse vegetables. This year, he promoted cotton. It is reasonable to say that farming can only provide food and clothing for the people. If you want to make the people wealthy, you have to In other ways, the construction team is just a good start.

According to Li Zexuan's vision, in the future, he will encourage those with low capital to open some small workshops. As workshop-style production replaces pure handicrafts, the production efficiency will be greatly improved. It will be difficult for the people to become wealthy!
