Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland

Old Man Wen finally succumbed to Wen Yao's sweet talk (temptation of wine) and agreed to help her with the workshop.

It's just that they really can't find a place in their three-thirds of an acre. Fortunately, the requirements for this workshop are not high, and the place doesn't need to be big. A small yard will suffice, so they might as well just put it behind Wenyao's house. A small piece of land was filled in the middle of the winery and built there.

Now people in the village are used to the Wen family building a house every three days. When they heard that the house would be built as soon as possible, everyone became very active. Someone had to work in the collective field every day, so they just started Shift work, one person goes to work in the collective today, comes back to build a house tomorrow, and the other person goes to the fields.

When Luo Shi knew that Wen Yao was making trouble again, he still went with Li Yi and even brought officials from the Ministry of Industry from the capital, so his temples started to beat.

Fortunately, she has calmed down now, so she can do whatever she wants. Anyway, with Li Yi, the eldest son, there will be someone to take care of her even if something goes wrong.

It has to be said that the people in the village are all familiar with it now. This house was built very quickly, and it has already started to be topped out in only seven or eight days. Even if the furnace is a bit troublesome, they don't know how to do it.

In the end, Wen Yao went to find Carpenter Zhang and Jiao Jian and asked them to help introduce a blacksmith to do it.

In addition to these, Zhuo Yi also made a list of materials they needed to use after discussion. The iron used for the sewing machine casing alone is very demanding, and it cannot be the ones sold in blacksmith shops now. , it has to be good.

This Wen Yao has no choice. The iron capital is in the hands of the imperial court. Even if they ordinary people want to buy iron products, they have a quota. Because there is a margin for error, Zhuo Yi wants a lot.

He was used to it. When he was in the Ministry of Works, if he needed any materials, he just had to write a note and have someone above him sign it, and then he could go to the Ministry of Personnel to ask for it.

If it were before, Wen Yao might not be able to do anything about it, but now.

That night, County Magistrate Chen was directly invited to have dinner at Wen's house. Wen Yao cooked in person and cooked a table full of delicious dishes.

"Uncle Chen, First Wine, one bottle, all of them are yours today." Wen Yao picked up a white wine bottle with carved plum blossoms and placed it in front of County Magistrate Chen. There was a pound of First Wine in the bottle.

Magistrate Chen's eyes lit up. This was tribute wine. Thanks to his good relationship with the Wen family, he could still take a sip from time to time. I heard that people outside were going crazy to grab this first wine. The price was so high. It has been raised to 1000 taels per altar.

But seeing Wen Yao smiling so flatteringly, Magistrate Chen did not extend his hand, but asked: "Are you in trouble?"

Wen Yao quickly took a step back, waved her hands and smiled: "How can you not."

"Then what do you want to do? You girl, there must be something wrong." No matter how greedy County Magistrate Chen is, he knows how to measure it. He can make Wen Yao drink the first drink. Magistrate Chen subconsciously felt that this matter must not be simple.

Magistrate Chen looked at Wen Xiuyi again: "What did your daughter do? Murder and set fire? Do you want me to protect you?"

Wen Xiuyi almost choked on a mouthful of tea and glared at him: "Just hope for something better."

"Hehe." County Magistrate Chen looked at Wen Yao again and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

Wen Yao then told them to make something, and then they would need a lot of iron. They might also need to purify the iron, so they would need a lot...

When County Magistrate Chen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. The sound was so loud that those who didn't know thought he had been tapped on his laughter point.

"That's it? Hey, you told me earlier." County Magistrate Chen opened the cork of the wine bottle without any burden, poured himself a glass of the first wine, then put it under his nose and smelled it carefully, recalling this Unique aroma.

Fragrant, really fragrant.

Take a sip, the taste is so refreshing.

Putting down the wine glass, County Magistrate Chen said: "Go to the county government office and ask them to open a warehouse for you. I used a lot of tools to make labor tools for the victims. I don't know how much is left in the county government warehouse. You If you want to use it, just go and get it, I will give you a fright as if you have caused a big trouble."

Wen Yao was stunned: "Is it that simple?"

"Yes, otherwise you would think it was so complicated." County Magistrate Chen continued, took another sip, and invited Wen Xiuyi to have a drink with him.

What he didn't say is that it's actually quite complicated, but whether it's complicated or not depends on the distance of the relationship. Others may have trouble, but this girl, the Yamen is her own home, so just take it and don't pay for it to him. Just leave it empty.

Only then did Wen Yao realize that she had been tricked, and angrily turned to glare at Li Yi.

Li Yi also told her that iron was not easy to get and it was controlled by the imperial court. There was a quota every year. The iron bought from blacksmith shops outside was not of the best quality. Good iron and high-purity iron were all in the yamen or the imperial court. in hand.

If you want it, it depends on whether the yamen will give it to you.

Just because what he said was not easy, Wen Yao asked Wen Xiuyi to invite Magistrate Chen to dinner in order to bribe him.

Li Yi smiled, feeling inexplicably better when he saw Wen Yao bulging with anger like a little rabbit with fried fur.

While everyone was eating, Wen Yao moved little by little to the side of Li Yi and angrily said, "You are tricking me."

Li Yi shook his head: "No, I told the truth."

Wen Yao: "..."

Yes, Li Yi has always told the truth. He has always said that the high-purity iron is in the hands of the imperial court, but he has never said whether the iron is good or not. It is all based on her own imagination.

! ! ! !

So angry that Wen Yao ate two more bowls of rice today.

Thanks to County Magistrate Chen's convenience, Wen Yao took Zhuo Yi to the Yamen to pick up iron the next day. By the way, he picked up whatever he saw that could be used.

With the materials and the workshop ready, Zhuo Yi and his people started working.

The already lively Gutong Village suddenly hears more tinkling and banging sounds every day. Sometimes when I listen to it while walking on the road, I still feel that it has a rhythm, which makes me feel a lot better.

Zhuo Yi almost made modifications based on the drawings as he worked. If he found that the part made according to the theory did not achieve the expected effect, then the position would be scrapped and started over.

After struggling like this for more than half a month, the entire field around Gutong Village became lush and green. Zhuo Yi installed the last needle on the sewing machine, and then sent his apprentice to find it. Wen Yao and Li Yi.

Wen Yao was writing a story in the study. Mingyue beside her would pinch a piece of cut fruit and put it into her mouth from time to time. On the other side of the study, at the low table, Li Yi was holding a book in one hand while studying the chessboard in front of him.

Soon I heard Aunt Shi's voice coming from outside, and then she walked in and reported: "Miss, Crown Prince, Mr. Zhuo's disciples are here, Mr. Zhuo invites you to come over."

When Wen Yao heard this, his eyes lit up.

Li Yiqi stopped and looked at each other, then put down what they were doing and walked out.
