When the two of them were discussing what to do, they found that the young master, Tugen, walked out of Cuiwei Residence as if nothing had happened.

After careful examination, I found that he was unscathed, his clothes were neat, his forehead was shiny, and his black braid was neatly left on the back of his head.

"Ah, Mr. Master, it's great if you can come out. Thank God, let's get out of here quickly, lest Mr. Fei and the others chase us out."

Wu Laosan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice.

"good."

The three of them didn't ask any more questions, walked quickly to the river pier, jumped on the awning boat and left quickly, returning to Shuangqi Town.

First, the three of them threw Lin Gen, who smelled of alcohol, into a bathhouse in the town to take a bath. Ah Hua also rowed a boat to help Lin Gen go home to get a change of clothes.

When Sister-in-law Genzi asked about it, Ah Hua said that she had been beaten up and her nose and face were bruised and swollen.

The girls burst into tears after hearing this.

What's the matter?

My mother-in-law feels distressed!

The three of them all entered the bathhouse, each had a back rub, and asked for a room inside to rest.

I was so tired, dirty, and covered in sweat.

Early the next morning, all four of them woke up. Chen Tianhua felt that this matter should be clarified and the rules were reiterated.

"Ling Gen, come here!" Chen Tianhua called him by his first name for the first time, instead of calling him Brother Genzi.

"Um…"

After hearing the sound, Lin Gen walked up to Chen Tianhua very dullly. When he looked into the latter's sharp eyes, his tall body suddenly bent down and lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

"If we didn't go to Cuiweiju yesterday, you would have been prepared to die there, right?"

He gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice not high, but deep and solemn. Each word was like a whip, hitting Lin Gen.

Lin Gen's face turned red with embarrassment, he lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.

"Kneel down!" Chen Tianhua suddenly whispered, startling everyone present.

Lin Gen raised his head in astonishment, and when his eyes touched Chen Tianhua's captivating cold light, he was so frightened that his knees softened and he knelt on the ground.

Chen Tianhua tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down his emotions.

"Ling Gen, you and I are full cousins. You once saved my life and are now an important member of the trading company. That's why I risked my life yesterday to go to Cuiwei Ju and rescue you by force."

He sighed, took a sip of tea to calm down, and continued:

"Since we have established a trading company, we have joined a gang. If you have a right, a gang has gang rules and every family has its own rules. In the trading house, I am the boss and the leader. Not to mention my cousin, even if my father is in the gang, that is

in this way."

"The four of us are here today, and I will emphasize to you the rules in the business, which are also the gang rules. One of them is that it is strictly forbidden to smoke opium and go to the gambling house to gamble. If you go to the gambling house again to gamble and do something embarrassing, you

Cut off one of your hands and come see me again, or you can get out of the business on your own, and from now on we will sever all ties and sever ties with each other."

Every word of Chen Tianhua's words was ringing and very stern.

"Yes! I, Lin Gen, swear here that I will never go to a gambling house to gamble again. Otherwise, I will be willing to accept any punishment from the gang rules."

Seeing the macho Lin Gen kneeling on the ground in shame, Wu Laosan also felt very uncomfortable.

He and Chen Tianhua have different feelings. He and Lin Gen grew up wearing open pants together and they are like brothers.

Lin Gen is good at everything, but he likes gambling, and his hands itch when he has a little money.

"Hmm, hehe... Mr. Master, don't be angry because it's so early in the morning. We should go have breakfast." Wu Laosan persuaded in a low voice while winking at Ah Hua.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm already hungry, hehe..." Ah Hua quickly spoke to smooth things over.

"Okay, get up Lin Gen, this matter is over now, don't mention it again."

In fact, Chen Tianhua also needs someone to step down from. He uses this to establish gang rules and kill others as a warning, but the drama cannot be overdone.

"Thank you, Mr. Master." Lin Gen bowed his hands and thanked him politely.

"Let's go and have breakfast outside." After Chen Tianhua finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out of the private room of the bathhouse.

The four of them went to a porridge shop in the town and ordered four bowls of porridge and four large meat buns.

Behind them, there was always a figure following, mainly recording Chen Tianhua's every move and then reporting it.

The legend about Chen Tugen from Shuangqi Town, who possesses the Kung Fu of the King of Hell, has been widely spread in Shuangqi, Xieqiao, Keqiao and other towns.

The stories about him, especially his performance in Xie Qiao Cui Wei Ju, are very vivid and vivid, and there are several versions.

This kind of legend can still scare some evil people, so they don't dare to provoke them and keep away from them.

Of course, there are always pros and cons to everything. The more people you provoke, the more enemies you make.

There are many people in this world who do not believe in evil because they themselves are evil gods. Facing the rise of Chen Tugen, they are waiting for the right time to retaliate.

There is a saying: It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

…

There are four seasons in the countryside throughout the year. Except for the busy farming seasons of spring, summer and autumn, most of the time is free time, especially in the winter.

Except for the craftsmen in the village who went out to work, most of them were idle at home.

Even if we later engage in aquaculture and wild fishing in the spring, there will be too much idle labor in the village and in most areas, and the more idle people there will be, the more people will be crooked.

If we can build a labor-intensive factory and workshop, it will not only revitalize the economy, but also solve the problem of idle rural labor force, increase their income, and at the same time solve the bad habit of lazy gambling.

After rescuing Lin Gen from Cuiweiju, Chen Tianhua had been depressed. He walked back and forth in the open space in front of his home, thinking.

He was thinking about other things that could make full use of the idle labor force in rural areas.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the mountains of river clam shells not far away.

The shell of this river mussel has changed color due to exposure to the sun and rain, and you can still smell a musty smell if you get closer.

The actual main component of river mussel shells is calcium carbonate, which can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and calcium oxide when calcined at high temperatures.

Calcium oxide is the chemical name of lime.

Therefore, river clam shells are the best raw material for calcined limestone. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, few people knew this truth.

Limestone, also known as quicklime, cao, is a common inorganic compound.

Adding water to quicklime produces hydrated lime, which is the best building adhesive nowadays. There is no cement now, only a cementitious material commonly known as "cement", which can function as the cement of future generations, low-grade cement.

This kind of cement is of good quality and expensive.

Limestone calcined from shellfish is of high quality and will definitely become a pet in the market.

The idea of ​​building a limestone workshop using local materials took shape in Chen Tianhua's mind.

Next, we will conduct a feasibility analysis study.

Nowadays, many people, including government officials, do not understand the word factory. For calcined products, they are accustomed to naming them kilns.

Just like a certain porcelain kiln factory and a certain brick and tile factory.

Chen Tianhua is planning to establish a lime kiln project in Shuangqi Town.

Now that the idea has been decided, the first step is to conduct research on raw materials.

He arranged for Wu Laosan and others to investigate.

Survey your own village first, and then visit neighboring villages. It is best to visit Shuangqi Township and its surroundings.
