Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Chen Changfan was stunned. Yes, what is the name of this alliance?

He glanced quietly at the other four people, who all looked away as if it had nothing to do with them.

"As for the name, you, the leader, can just decide." Yue Lingfei muttered softly.

good good!

You guys want to be a hands-off boss, right?

Fortunately, Chen Changfan was quite knowledgeable, so coming up with a name was not a problem for him.

Chen Changfan's eyes rolled and he immediately thought of a name.

"The alliance formed today is composed of Xiaofeng Manor, Modao Sect, Taixu Pavilion, Shuishen Sect, and Qinghe Martial Arts School. Why not call it the Five Alliances?"

Everyone's expression froze for a moment.

What a stupid name!

Chen Changfan thought for a moment and added, "The word 'five' is a bit too straightforward. I think 'Wu', which means 'martial arts', is a better name. After all, our Great Wu Dynasty was founded on martial arts, and our alliance is mostly composed of warriors. It also sounds similar to the number five, so let's call it the Wumeng. How about that?"

Good name!

After Chen Changfan's explanation, he also felt that the name seemed to be okay. Then he looked at everyone's expressions and saw many people nodding, so he knew that the name should be okay.

"Wu Meng! What a great name! It sounds very domineering. I like it!"

"Simple and easy to remember, not bad, not bad, it's worthy of the name that Alliance Leader Chen came up with."

"The Five-Party Alliance, founded on military strength, will surely achieve long-term development."

Some compliments fell into Chen Changfan's ears. No matter whether they were false compliments or came from the heart, Chen Changfan regarded them as the truth.

Naming something is so difficult!

"Alliance leader, there has been some progress in the matters I am in charge of. Please allow me to report!" Shen Wanwu saluted respectfully and said with a bow.

If it weren't for Shen Wanwu's loyal look, Chen Changfan really wanted to glare at him.

So I haven't even sat down as the leader of the alliance yet, and you're already trying to put pressure on me, right?

"This is not the place for meetings. Allies, please come into my courtyard and have a chat."

As Chen Changfan spoke, he walked towards his yard, and Xiao Suchen and others followed closely behind him.

There was only a small stone table in the courtyard, which was big enough for everyone to sit at, though it was a bit crowded.

Chen Changfan had an idea and directly moved out the Zhenqi Ding and placed it in the middle of the yard. He then split a rockery stone that was more than one meter tall and placed it horizontally on the Zhenqi Ding as a table top.

A huge stone table was completed.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips slightly.

Immediately, in the astonished eyes of everyone, Chen Changfan signaled the dragon to coil around the stone table and lie down, directly forming a circular dragon scale chair.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

As he spoke, Chen Changfan sat directly on the dragon's neck, with the majestic dragon's head beside him, showing his domineering aura.

The rest of the people suppressed their inner emotions and sat on the dragon one by one. It was the first time for them to sit on the back of a dragon. Feeling the cool breeze coming from below, they immediately felt refreshed.

When they thought of Chen Changfan riding on this cool dragon and soaring into the wind, they immediately felt that the thousand-mile horses in the sect were not so attractive.

"Butler Shen, you've been very busy coordinating so many matters over the past six months. Today, I'd like to share everything I've done so that all of you allies can know."

"Yes, Dong... Alliance Leader!"

In front of the five high-level transcendents, Shen Wanwu remained calm and reported the construction progress over the past six months in an orderly manner. Everyone couldn't help but nod secretly after hearing it.

Shen Wanwu is now in charge of the construction of many large-scale fortifications in Qinghe County. He is still well organized and well arranged, showing the style of a steward.

"The Tazhai Garrison and its supporting fortifications have been completed. We just need to wait for the soldiers to complete their first phase of special training before they can move in."

Hearing this, the other four people were all shocked.

Tazhai Garrison was independently constructed by Xiaofengzhuang. It was the largest in design, the most difficult to build, and the first to be completed and delivered among the three garrisons.

Therefore, these people were surprised when Shen Wanwu directly announced that the Tazhaiwei Post had been completed and delivered.

“The deputy leaders should also know that the difficulty in building this Tazhai Garrison lies mainly in the special structure of Shuangta Mountain.

The Shuangta Mountain is a dangerous pass with towering peaks. The two mountains stand like towers. It is a strategic pass. The garrison is built between the valleys and can withstand thousands of troops.

But precisely because it is such a dangerous place, the height of the garrison needs to be high enough, and it needs to be built against the mountain, which is extremely difficult.

Fortunately, with the help of the scaffolding and pulley system designed by the employer, the workers were able to build the wall and transport the stones with much less effort, which greatly accelerated the construction schedule.

scaffold?

Pulley?

The four of them looked at each other again. What kind of urban construction tool was this? Why had they never heard of it?

"Please rest assured, we are not using the scaffolding and pulleys for the time being. We can rent them to you."

There was a glint of cunning in Shen Wanwu's eyes, and it was obvious that he had planned this in advance.

The original plan was that Xiaofengzhuang would be responsible for building one garrison, and the other four would jointly build two. Now Xiaofengzhuang's work has been completed, but the other four have not yet finished, so they may seek help.

Chen Changfan had already anticipated this, so it was not impossible for him to help.

Just need to pay more.

"Renting, that's possible..." Xiao Suchen and others were immediately tempted.

To be honest, this garrison is a military secret. If they really asked the craftsmen from Xiaofeng Village to come and help, they would still have some concerns.

It’s not that they don’t trust Chen Changfan as the leader of the alliance. The main reason is that the more craftsmen there are, the more likely it is that the internal secrets of the garrison will be leaked. If they are obtained by spies from Shuibo County and Xuanyuan County, wouldn’t they regret it so much?

But renting tools is different.

Not only can it speed up the construction, but the secrets of the garrison are still with them. It just costs a little more money.

Soon, the lease agreement was reached. It was just a business worth tens of thousands of taels, and neither party took it too seriously.

In the previous life, many construction bosses would also do some scaffolding rental business. If it was done properly, they could even raise funds in the short term for turnover.

After all, it is common for those who work in construction to not be able to collect project payments, and every boss has encountered a situation where funds are not available.

Without funds, workers cannot start work, and the scaffolding in their hands is just a pile of scrap metal. Renting it out is a common practice.

There is another very important reason why Chen Changfan was willing to rent out the scaffolding and pulley system with confidence and boldness.

In Xiaofengzhuang, these scaffolding and pulley systems are about to be eliminated.

The steam crane he designed has been theoretically verified and is now in the manufacturing stage.

Shen Wanwu knew a little, but not much.

It is said that this thing is powered by a steam engine, combining the stable structure of a scaffolding and the labor-saving mechanism of a pulley system. It can lift several thousand kilograms of materials to a height of more than ten meters. It is horrifying just to think about it.
