Shen Lin didn't show off any more.

"Everyone, if we can't make weapons, then wrought iron farming tools won't be a problem, right?"

"Lao Qi, you can open a farm tool shop in the county."

"I provide you with five pig-iron farm tools and one wrought iron one, both virtual and actual."

"What do you think about making money from wrought iron, that is, refined iron farm tools?"

Hearing this, Wu Qi's whole body drooped down, looking like he couldn't cheer up.

"Master Qi understands that you are afraid that the fine iron will be lost and someone will search for it to make weapons. So why are you trying to make a false plan?"

"But you can't make any money...how much money, right?"

Shen Lin is a person from later generations. Even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs running away. His business experience on paper is definitely a set of things!

"Are you stupid?"

"I'll give you a fine iron farm tool at a minimum price of one tael and five cents. You can sell it for two taels of silver."

"Although it is sold in limited quantities, does the shopkeeper you hired not even look at it?"

"You are a farmer, can't you tell?"

"For ordinary farmers, if they buy a fine iron farm tool and take it home, they are not allowed to treat it as a family heirloom?"

"Why are they willing to resell it?"

"How many farmers are there in Yangcheng County alone?"

"Is it tens of thousands?"

"Can't you open branches in other counties? Don't tell me that your Zhou family doesn't have the strength."

At this time, several people were very excited after hearing this.

Especially for Wu Qi, a pig iron farm tool can indeed earn less than a few cents, but the quantity cannot be guaranteed, and it can still be used as a cover.

On average, a fine iron farm tool can earn 500 cash.

Don't say anything else.

Just in Yangcheng County, it’s not difficult to buy a few thousand, right?

What about other counties?

It’s hard to say that the profit is tens of thousands of silver in one year.

Big business.

It is definitely a big business with huge profits and no risks.

Moreover, selling farm tools is not eye-catching.

What?

You said I have refined iron?

That stuff doesn't come easy.

Otherwise, how can my family sell limited quantities?

However, I secretly never limit the number of purchases.

Thus, Li Yi Ironmaking House established its first business.

It was settled happily.

A few days later, the first batch of three thousand kilograms of cement came out of the kiln.

Although the quality is only comparable to the defective products of later generations.

In this era, it is definitely a great artifact!

First build a wall to surround the two workshops.

Wu Qi is a good buddy and business partner.

He is more active than the Shen family in maintaining confidentiality.

These days, the iron smelting room has completed the production of loom accessories.

Dozens of original steel bars as thick as an arm and two feet long were also cast with molten iron.

The third uncle recruited more than fifty people from the village, all of whom were reliable farmers.

Under the guidance of Shen Lin, everyone began to pour five extra-large cement pillars.

Above, there is a cement tower built, which is comparable to a large house.

Similarly, steel bars are used as the bones and cement mortar is used as the body.

The weather is hot and it dries quickly.

Seven days later.

A huge cement tower with a top height of three feet stands in the backyard of Li's house.

This thing alarmed many people.

Across the wall, outside is the sparkling Lushui River.

Shen Zhonggui supervised two sets of tall water pumping trucks, which stood against the water tower.

Give an order.

The bolts and pillars drove two strong oxen to pull the large winch lying horizontally.

The vertical transmission shaft drives a smaller gear on the top.

"Quack!"

The direction has also changed.

The solid wood shelf outside is three feet high.

More than a dozen dendrobiums began to lift water up and down.

"Crash!"

The clear river water was pumped up and flowed along the flume to the water tower next door.

Inside and outside the wall, not only the village chiefs of the four villages came.

There was a huge crowd of villagers watching the fun.

God, is this too awesome?

Look at the flow rate of that sink.

A water tanker can pump more than an acre of land for a quarter of an hour.

The village chiefs no longer had any doubts about Shen Lin's bold words that day.

It is no exaggeration to say that I am so impressed!

Shen Zhongping made the decision on the spot.

"Chief, this animal-powered waterwheel has raised the water level by a full three feet!"

"Our village must be built vigorously, and there will be eight out of ten buildings!"

"Yeah, let's build the canals and open up wasteland immediately!"

"I can't guarantee it for other old men. Let's try to plant tens of thousands of acres of winter wheat!"

A group of villagers in Lushui River were boiling.

In the village, in addition to one hundred acres of public land, thousands of acres of private land left by Yang Chengliang now belong to the main line of the Shen family.

The combined land of each of our households is less than 2,000 acres!

According to the village chief, he wants to open more than 7,000 acres?

Isn’t it? One person can be allocated six or seven acres of new land?

Three years of tax exemption and no shortage of water.

Even if the yield per mu is six to seven bushels.

That is also a great income.

This is equivalent to giving everyone four to five thousand taels of silver!

Every family has a share.

It’s available every year!

And we are just trying our best.

What we lack most is cheap strength.

Will we still be hungry in the days to come?
