After Liu Qingcao left, Liu Dazhuang took the drawings and went out excitedly to find his eldest brother and third brother.

"Brother, third brother, you're alive, you're alive." Liu Dazhuang grinned and stood in front of two men who were taller and stronger than him, shouting excitedly like a child.

"Dazhuang, keep your voice down, your sister-in-law is resting in the room, don't disturb her." The man said seriously, but the eyes he looked at Liu Dazhuang were full of the love of an elder brother.

Liu Dazhuang scratched his head and immediately lowered his voice, but his eyes could not hide the excitement at all.

"Brother, let me tell you, I took on a big job that I can't do alone. Let the three brothers do it together. After the job is done, my sister-in-law's illness will be cured."

"Second brother, don't show off, tell me what kind of job you are going to do."

"Eldest brother, third brother, you will understand after reading this blueprint." Liu Dazhuang took out the blueprint from his arms and handed it to his eldest brother like a treasure.

"This, this is indeed a good job." Liu Dakang controlled his voice and was so excited that he stuttered a little.

When Liu Dawang saw this, he raised his head curiously. They were all blacksmiths. They had not received much work in the past few years. After the money they earned to subsidize the family, there was not much left. Their men were strong and could carry it when they were sick. The purpose is to save a sum of money so that it can be used for other purposes.

In the spring of this year, my sister-in-law and her daughter-in-law took their brothers on their backs to go fishing in their parents' river in order to give their children a meaty meal. Unexpectedly, one of their feet slipped and they fell into the river one by one. They both caught the wind and cold.

The two women were not as healthy as the men. They fell down one after another as soon as they caught the cold. All the family's savings over the years were spent on decoctions. However, the disease was not getting better intermittently, and it tended to get worse.

Everything the family can sell has been sold, and now only the old house in the village and the second brother's blacksmith shop are left.

Fortunately, the second brother's shop is open, and he helps the two brothers a lot on weekdays. But the second brother also has a family, and too much support will inevitably cause resentment between the second brother and his sister-in-law.

How can the two brothers continue to drag people down and alienate the second brother's family?
"Eldest brother, third brother, with this money, we can take my sister-in-law and third brother-in-law to the county to seek medical treatment." Liu Dazhuang happily patted their shoulders and persuaded them with a smile.

Liu Dakang and Liu Dawang also had happy faces, and they nodded heavily with red eyes.

Liu Qingcao didn't know about Liu Dazhuang's family. At this time, she was arranging for people to go to the nearby blacksmith shop.

There were few manpower, so Liu Qingcao had to send out villagers to help, and finally found enough manpower.

At night, Liu Qingcao was busy harvesting rapeseed in the space. In the entire space, Liu Qingcao had nearly [-] acres of land. It was impossible to plant all of it, so we could only do our best.

During the waiting period after that, Liu Qingcao stopped running around and concentrated on planting.

After the rice harvest in Shihe Village, Liu Qingcao approached Jiang Dafu and asked him to guide the villagers to fertilize and turn the soil in preparation for planting potatoes.

On his own [-] acres of land, Liu Qingcao began mercilessly enslaving children. Although the children were half exhausted every day, their enthusiasm did not diminish.

Because plowing and farming is not easy and takes a long time, Liu Qingcao took the time to braise meat and vegetables for them and provide them with better food after being busy in the space.

Time passed quietly without realizing it. After the great harvest in Shihe Village, large-scale planting began again, including Shiqing Village and Shiliu Village. Both villages were busy.

Of course, these two villages do not grow potatoes, but peas and broad beans.

Gan Changsu was originally promised to rent peas to other villages for planting, but as a result, Gan Changsu fell and the matter fell through.

When Gan Changsu thought of this, Shiqing Village and Shiliu Village had been planted for several days.

Because of this matter, Gan Changsu went to the end of the village while he was not in class, hoping that Liu Qingcao could help those people.

Liu Qingcao saw that he still cared about the people even after losing his official position. She felt moved and agreed, but she only gave him [-] kilograms each of peas and broad beans for him to distribute.

Half a month later.Qianfeng Town Blacksmith Shop.

Liu Qingcao stood in front of an iron bucket. The bucket was one inch thick, one meter high, and half a meter wide. There was a one-inch vertical slit down the edge of the bucket, which was just one inch short of reaching the bottom. There was also a sharp point protruding diagonally from the bottom. Mouth.

There is also a thick round iron pestle next to the barrel. The iron pestle rod is [-] degrees vertical at about [-] inches. There is also a thick round plate at the vertical end that is in the shape of an I. The whole iron tool has a weird shape.

Liu Dazhuang looked at the iron tools on the ground, his eyelids twitching again.

These pieces of ironware cost a total of nearly two thousand kilograms of pig iron, and the iron bucket in front of me weighs four hundred kilograms...

Two thousand kilograms of pig iron. The imperial court did not allocate so much pig iron to his blacksmith shop in a year.

It can be seen how surprised Liu Qingcao said this at that time, and Liu Qingcao only said that she had collected the iron at a high price from blacksmiths everywhere.

He was afraid that something would go wrong, so he sent people to inquire around. As Liu Qingcao said, the final result was that the blacksmiths did sell some pig iron at a high price.

These pig irons had a provenance. What could Liu Dazhuang say? He could only rely on Liu Qingcao to drive out what she wanted day and night. Of course, Liu Qingcao paid a lot of wages.

"Qingcao, I've got something for you, can you take a look?" Liu Dazhuang stared at the iron bucket, his eyes red. These days, the people in the blacksmith shop have been working hard for Liu Qingcao for half a month. He doesn't believe that he can still work on it again. .

Liu Qingcao looked at the iron bucket, nodded with satisfaction, and extended his thumb to Liu Dazhuang.

They were so good, they produced it in half a month. She thought it would take another week to get the oil-extracting iron tool.

"Uncle Liu, that's very good. Sure enough, the more times you beat it, the better the quality of the iron bucket will be."

Liu Dazhuang's eyelids twitched and he couldn't help but say, "Green grass, the quality of this is much better, but it also wastes a lot of iron. You can't make a second one of this thing. It hurts my eyes and hands from hammering." .”

"Haha, when I make money, I will make another one, but there is no need to be so anxious next time." Liu Qingcao laughed and replied as if thinking about it.

Liu Dazhuang's eyes widened in shock when he heard that Liu Qingcao was going to hit him again.

Could it be that this little girl had too much money and couldn't find a place to use it? Could it be that she didn't know how precious this iron was?

This time we have collected so much, and the autumn harvest has passed. If we want to collect this amount again, we may not be able to do it until the beginning of next spring.

"Qingcao, take it back and try it. If it doesn't fit, you can bring it back and I'll change it for you." Liu Dazhuang didn't know what Liu Qingcao was doing with the iron, but it cost a lot. If it didn't work, he had to give it to her. Just change it.

Liu Qingcao nodded. Although she made a simple model comparison of this oil press, the pouring and beating of molten iron were always different, and she was not sure that it would fit 100%.

The oil press was very heavy, weighing nearly [-] kilograms, and she could not move it alone. Liu Dazhuang was not a discerning person. Knowing that she only drove the bullock cart without anyone, he helped her move the oil press. The ironware is loaded onto the bullock cart.

As soon as the oil press was put on the cart, the wheels squeaked, and the cart looked like it was about to crack and fall apart at any time. The cow in front felt the changes in the cart and looked at Liu Qingcao's huge body. His eyes were filled with fear.

"..."

It seems that she still underestimated the bullock cart.

"Uncle Liu, please move it down again first. I'll find someone to help replace it with a sturdy car board first."

Liu Qingcao took off the carriage frames on both sides of the cow, asked Liu Dazhuang and others, and then took the reins and pulled the cow out of the blacksmith shop.
