Although Lin Xiaofan seems a bit reckless when doing things, he gets it right every time.

For example, everyone thought that the hillside land was of no use, but he rented it and directly obtained the stone mine.

This time, Lin Xiaofan wanted that piece of shady land again. It might be of great use, and he didn't know what he could use it for.

For a moment, Li Zheng felt a glimmer of expectation in his heart.

By the time the matter in the wasteland was settled, it was already afternoon, and Lin Xiaofan took three craftsmen to Li San's home.

That boy Li Kang had already arrived here and was sawing wood hard at this time. Lin Xiaofan walked up to him, but he didn't notice it.

At this moment, all he could think about was working hard, working hard, and making enough things to repay Lin Xiaofan.

Seeing his hard work, Lin Xiaofan nodded with satisfaction and didn't bother him any more.

On the side, the three craftsmen looked at their surroundings anxiously, wondering if what they were going to see next would be hell.

Slaves are considered the private property of their masters, and they can be beaten and scolded at will, even if they are killed, it doesn't matter.

This is the blacksmith's home. They should be arranged to make blacksmiths, but who knows if they will beat themselves first?

"This is my third uncle, who is also a craftsman. From now on, your work will be arranged by him."

Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth and introduced.

After hearing this, the three people also hurriedly saluted, fearing that they would make a mistake and cause dissatisfaction.

Li San looked at the three of them and was quite satisfied. He stepped forward and patted their shoulders and said cheerfully:

"I don't have many rules, so I don't have to be so restrained."

After the three of them heard this, they dared to raise their heads. Seeing Li San in front of him smiling at him, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Usually, in order to establish authority, the master would severely beat the newly arrived slave.

But instead of beating him, these people treated him well.

This made them somewhat happy.

It was the first time these three people went to work, and Lin Xiaofan decided to give them personal guidance to see if his ninety taels of silver were worth it.

At first, the three of them were a little nervous, fearing that they would be beaten if they didn't do well. But soon, they no longer cared about so much, but were impressed by Lin Xiaofan's mind.

It is hard to imagine that such an ingenious object as the Liannu was thought up by a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

You know, many of the parts inside are very clever, and they have never seen them before. You can imagine how difficult it is to think of all these and then stitch them together into a repeating crossbow.

Even for a famous craftsman like that, it would probably take decades of work from the time he came up with this idea in his mind to the time he overcame many difficulties to make a repeating crossbow. Lin Xiaofan and Li San solved all the problems in just a few days.

Although they work for food, who doesn't have the dream of becoming a famous craftsman? Who doesn’t want to make something that gives them a sense of accomplishment?

And not every craftsman is like Li San, making a lot of money. They work, and most of the time they can only make ends meet.

At Lin Xiaofan's place, their food and drink were not bad, and they even ate tiger meat last night.

For a moment, they even regretted not getting here earlier.

Lin Xiaofan was also very surprised.

The three of them had decades of experience as craftsmen, and they learned faster than he imagined.

In just an hour, a few people learned how to make several parts.

The corners of Li San's lips gradually turned into a smile. With these right assistants here, it will be much easier for me to do it in the future.

Moreover, these are considered Lin Xiaofan’s people and can be used with confidence and boldness.

One of them, named Chen Gong, learned particularly quickly. Lin Xiaofan only needed to describe the structure a little, and he could make it, and he could even draw inferences from one example.

If he were in his previous life, he would have been at the level of a top student at least.

"Chen Gong, at your level, were you just an ordinary craftsman before?"

Lin Xiaofan asked with some confusion.

You know, generally more capable craftsmen will go to the Ministry of Industry to apply for jobs and work for the country. After all, once you join the Ministry of Industry, you will almost have a lifelong job, which is several times better than working outside.

Moreover, even if such a person commits a serious crime and is demoted to a slave, he will only work in the Ministry of Works for the rest of his life.

Chen Gong scratched his head and said:

"Our family has been craftsmen for generations, and we used to work in the Ministry of Industry of Daliang. Later, my father provoked someone he couldn't afford to offend, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he took me to escape here. Later, my father died and I had no household registration, so I was arrested by the Yamen If you catch this, you will become a slave.”

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofan suddenly realized that he had missed something.

Daliang State is a neighboring country of Daqian State. The two countries often fight with each other and have a deep hatred.

If you go to the Ministry of Industry, you will definitely be questioned about your identity. You will definitely not end well at that time, and your life may be in danger. That's why he delayed going, and was eventually found to have no household registration, and was arrested by the Yamen.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you work hard here, you will be much better than going to the Ministry of Industry."

Lin Xiaofan said.

Naturally, he would not waste such a good talent.

If he had just arrived, Chen Gong would definitely not believe this. You have become a slave, how can you do better than in the Ministry of Industry?

But following Lin Xiaofan this afternoon, he began to believe it.

Lin Xiaofan was very patient when talking about things. He didn't seem to be unreasonable at all, and he was also kind to them.

It wasn't until it got dark that everyone reluctantly stopped.

Although it was winter, all three craftsmen were exhausted and sweating profusely, but their hearts were full of satisfaction.

In this afternoon, they learned more than they had learned in the previous half of their lives.

"Let's stop here today and come back tomorrow."

Lin Xiaofan wiped the sweat from his head and said.

If he had been asked to do this in his previous life, he probably wouldn't have been able to last even half an hour. But there were no entertainment options here. On the contrary, he felt that working was much more interesting than idleness at home, and the afternoon passed before he knew it.

As for gunpowder, the basic materials only require charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter. You can try it yourself when the time comes.

He knows the principle of making charcoal. Wood does not burn completely. If you give him time, he can make it.

As for sulfur, they are sold in the city. Just ask someone to purchase some when the time comes.

Saltpeter Now he also has a saltpeter mine.

Once the materials are gathered, gunpowder can be made. There are many uses for this, such as making fireworks, or blowing up mountains, and you can also make guns.

Lin Xiaofan took the three of them back home and had dinner together. He has already thought of a place for the three of them to live, and will let them move there tonight.

Although it was already very late, everyone was still waiting for Lin Xiaofan.

This time it was Liu Sisi who cooked, making simple broth and noodles.

"Hiccup... Sisi, your food is getting more and more delicious."

Lin Xiaofan finished the rice in the bowl, burped, and said.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Liu Sisi's cooking skills have improved greatly.

"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing. This is the best broth I have ever tasted."

Jian Bai also spoke with great satisfaction. He was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas in his family since he was a child, but he still felt that this broth was delicious.

"That's right, Sisi has been practicing hard for a long time."

"Sisi hasn't played much cards these past two days. She has been practicing from morning to night, just to impress my husband."

Liu Shishi and Liu Yanyan joked on the side, making Liu Sisi lower her head in embarrassment.

She always felt that her contribution to the family was too small.

Liu Shishi is responsible for managing everyone, Liu Yanyan trains the escort team, Li Xiaoran makes lime, and Li Xiaoqian takes care of the accounts, but all she can do is cook at home.

Therefore, she worked hard to learn to cook these two days.

Lin Xiaofan touched Liu Shishi's hair, immediately making the latter's pretty face turn red.

"Sisi, I'm interested."
