Yang Lin Li Yuyao works

Chapter 66: Steelmaking and Papermaking

    

a hurry, and quickly shoved the silver into Yang Lin's hand."No, no, this is too much! I usually write for people, and in a month I only earn over a hundred wen. I'm willing to help, but you're givin...Li Yuyao's face flushed slightly, before she could speak, Liao Hongying beside her immediately glared and said, "No!"

Her voice was loud, and everyone looked at her.

Li Hongying immediately realized she was too hasty and hurriedly explained, “Uh… I mean, this isn’t good!”

Si Mei's words, when I think about the scene she described, it feels embarrassing.

Let the Emperor and Yang Lin do that thing And they were closing their eyes beside them

This is too bad!

And the Emperor would certainly not accept that either.

"Little Sister Four giggled and said, "Third Sister, you seem so flustered. Could it be that you're also coveting our husband's body Are you jealous"

"You, you don't talk nonsense!"

Even Liao Hongying's nervous face flushed red, and she hurriedly changed the subject: "Xiao Jiu, when you said that day that you were the daughter of Nanyang Prefect Han Feng, was that true"

As expected, all eyes were on Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu bit her lip and nodded lightly.

"Goodness gracious."

"Little Nine, you're actually the magistrate's daughter Then how did you end up here"

"Yeah, what's going on here"

Everyone was curious about her identity as the daughter of a magistrate.

Li Hongying and Li Yunyao were also very interested. They weren't gossiping, but because Nanyang City was very close to Pingyuan County, in terms of distance, Jianghe County was closer to Nanyang City than to Pingyuan County.

Such a close distance, and with Xia Jiu as a link, if they were to cause trouble in the future, then perhaps the magistrate of Nanyang could be used for their own gain!

Little Jiu hung her head and shook it. "He's my father, but he's a jerk! He wasn't good to me. Even though I'm his daughter, my mother was just a servant in the household. After I was born, she didn't have any official status. My mother and I were always ostracized by the other wives. My brothers and sisters often bullied us too."

"As for why I'm here..."

Han Mengzhu's face was full of bitterness: "My older sister and the others framed me, accusing me of stealing things from home. Father believed them, and I almost got beaten to death by them!"

Xiao Jiu clenched her fists, looked up at Yang Lin, and spoke in a choked voice: "Brother, if I hadn't met you, I was going to leave home and go far, far away, never to return! I didn't want to see those disgusting faces again!"

"That day, I mentioned Han Feng's name only because I didn't want you to get hurt. In fact, even if he were here, he wouldn't care about me."

"So, sisters, don't look at me like that. I'm not the daughter of a magistrate. Just like you all, I'm just a poor soul taken in by our brother!"

From now on, there will be no more Han Mengzhu in this world, only Xiao Jiu! Our Xiao Jiu.

After finishing her words, Han Mengzhu dashed toward the crowd and bowed deeply.

The women were all moved by her experience, and the atmosphere in the room became oppressive.

Yang Lin, however, said: "The name Han Mengzhu is very nice, no need to give it up. You can be called Mengzhu or Xiaojiu."

Han Mengzhu nodded and said to him with a pleading expression, "Brother, can I ask you one thing"

What's up

"Can you bring my mother out"

Han Mengzhu eagerly looked at Yang Lin.

"What"

Yang Lin was taken aback.

Han Mengzhu hurriedly explained, “My mother stayed there, and she wasn't happy at all. I’m already free now, and I don't want my mother to continue suffering there.”

Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh and cry: "This is a difficult task. You want me to go to Nanyang Prefecture and rob the wife of the magistrate"

"Brother... I miss my mother."

Han Mengzhu hugged Yang Lin's arm and leaned against his chest, looking up at him with pleading eyes.

"I'll try my best, but it definitely won't work for now. Maybe in the future... there might be a chance."

"Mhm!"

Han Mengzhu nodded hurriedly. "As long as you agree, I believe you must have a way!"

Saying that, Han Mengzhu actually lifted her head and kissed Yang Lin on the face.

"Brother, you're so kind."

"I want to be your little nine forever!"

She smiled and snuggled up to Yang Lin affectionately, making Yang Lin's old face flush red again.

Xiao Jiu opened up her heart, the atmosphere became even more harmonious. Yang Lin planned to take advantage of the situation to let his wife and third sister share their stories as well.

But the two of them acted as if they couldn't receive any signals. Yang Lin also understood that they still didn't want to tell their story, so he had no choice but to give up.

After lunch the next day, Yang Lin became busy.

Today was a busy day, with continued recruitment efforts, the establishment of a road repair team, site selection for the "Mountainside New Village" project, and planning...

But the most important thing is still steelmaking!

In the afternoon, after finishing other matters, Yang Lin came to the courtyard where the blacksmith's shop was located.

"Lin Di is here."

When Du Jing saw Yang Lin, he excitedly greeted him.

"You're just in time, I was looking for you. We made the new water wheel you talked about last time!" Du Jing said excitedly.

"Great! Awesome!"

Yang Lin gave Du Jing a thumbs up: "Jing Ge, you'll get an extra 200 wen bonus this month! The rest of you will get 100 wen!"

All they possess are mechanical and kinetic foundations and experience, and they only know the principles and structure of more advanced water wheels, but lack a wealth of detail.

Don't underestimate the details, to fill them in takes a lot of thought and creativity.

This matter is best done by Du Jinglai. If someone else were to take it on, they might not necessarily be able to complete it.

Yang Lin didn't expect that Du Jing and the others would finish so quickly!

Upon hearing this, Du Jing was startled and hurriedly declined.

The rest of them all shook their heads and looked strange.

Yang Lin, this boss, is too generous! He just gives out bonuses whenever he feels like it! They all think they've already gotten enough!

"Alright, all of you stop talking. You all know that once I make a decision, it won't change."

"Moreover, awarding bonuses is a form of incentive. In the future, anyone who makes a major invention or innovation will be eligible for a corresponding bonus!"

"Jing Ge, I came to you this time because I have a new project to give you!"

"Oh" Du Jing asked excitedly, "What are we going to improve this time"

"Paper!"

Yang Lin said with a smile.

But Du Jing was startled: "Paper"

He never expected that Yang Lin would choose paper.

Although paper is a bit more expensive now, it's still fairly usable. Is there still a need for innovation

"Brother Jing, please don't worry. We can talk about reforming the papermaking process later. I have another important matter to discuss this time."

"Forge steel!"

"Uncle Shunzi, I'm planning to add twenty more people to the blacksmithing workshop."

"What"

Zhao Shunzi hurriedly shook her head: "Yang Lin, ah, forging iron is just a simple matter. We have enough manpower now, we don't need so many people."

Yang Lin then shook his head slowly: “It’s not forging iron, but forging steel!”

From now on, the Iron Foundry will be renamed the Refining Foundry!

As for manpower, even adding twenty more people may not be enough.

"I've finished the blueprints. You guys first build a new furnace according to the drawings!"indedness.After going through setbacks, his ability to withstand pressure had improved a lot. Seeing his mother's dejection, he quickly comforted her: "Mother, it's alright. Even if we lose the farmla...
