Wu Tang Flourishing age

"You want to open a blacksmith's shop?"

"Yes." Li Luoyang nodded, "but I don't know the rules of this business very well, so I want to ask you if there are any special rules."

"There are no special regulations. As long as there is a place, register at the county government. Li Bai can help you do this. The key is to have a place, and then pay taxes. Can you make iron in Luoyang?"

"I don't know how to forge iron. Uncle Zhou, you're joking. It's an elder of mine in Lijia village. He has a blacksmith shop in Lijia village, but he's alone. Now I have a house in the county town. I want him to come with me."

Zhou Lin nodded, "I see, but there are two difficulties in this matter."

"Uncle Zhou said."

It turned out that in the great Zhou Dynasty, although the imperial court did not restrict the access of blacksmiths, it had strict regulations on what blacksmiths could forge. Unless it was approved by the imperial court, they could never forge weapons, such as long knives and swords, let alone prohibited articles such as bows and crossbows and long guns.

In places like Lijia village, Li Chengzhen can continue to build farm tools and repair them for everyone because of the distance from the county. However, once a blacksmith shop is opened in the county, it will face the competition from other blacksmith shops.

Competition is inevitable in any trade, but you can't build weapons without the permission of the imperial court. The county doesn't want the countryside to have a lot of demand for agricultural tools. Is it right that opening a blacksmith shop is to play some kitchen knives and carry a mending iron pot? Don't forget that investing in a blacksmith shop in the city alone requires a lot of expenses.

"So it is."

Li Luoyang finally understood why Zhou Lin was surprised just now. People thought about his actual situation. They were afraid that he would invest the money on impulse, and all of them drifted away in the end. This is also Zhou Lin's good intention. After all, people don't know Li Luoyang's plan.

Now it seems that the appearance is not difficult to solve. As for decoration, it is not a problem. Some professional equipment can be purchased and some can be made by themselves. With Li Luoyang, a design master and Li Chengzhen, it seems that everything is ready, only due to the east wind.

Li Luoyang first opened up the relationship with Li Bai. He needs Li Bai to go to the county government to register for him. Li Bai doesn't have much idea about it, but it can be solved easily.

The next step is to find the right facade. Although it is very convenient to go through toothwalking, Li Luoyang chose to ask Wu Cheng for help after careful consideration. Strictly speaking, the whole Anning county is the property of others. Fortunately, although they said something unpleasant last time, they were not really contradictory after all. Wu Cheng also sincerely hoped that Li Luoyang could "embark on the right road".

Therefore, Li Luoyang talked tactfully. After finding a store for an "elder" who tried to gain a foothold in Anning County, Wu Cheng was very willing to help. With the help of his "landlord", the store was implemented in less than half a day. It was not only in a good position, but also not far from the Liao family courtyard.

After the store was implemented, the county government also had the approval. After three days of simple transformation of the store and procurement tools, the "Li Chengcheng blacksmith shop" was officially listed, but it did not intend to open for business for the time being. As Zhou Lin worried at the beginning, a blacksmith shop without fist products would lose money if it opened.

Although it doesn't matter if Li Chengzhen is raised, it doesn't matter if Li Luoyang's current income, but people can't idle around all day? Besides, Li Luoyang doesn't want to waste Li Chengzhen's skills. He also has all kinds of things in his mind. He may need Li Chengzhen's hands to realize it in the future. Since he needs a studio, there's nothing wrong with opening a shop directly.

People feel that time flies when they are busy. These days, Li Luoyang has to take classes, implement the blacksmith shop, practice martial arts in the evening, and occasionally take time to write the sorted Liaozhai stories. Although Zhou Lin is not very anxious about the story, after all, each issue of Liaozhai anecdotes always takes some time for the market to digest, Wu Xinyi does not have that patience, which directly leads to five or six "saved manuscripts" in Li Luoyang's hands, and even the "beautiful girl ghost" he originally wanted to keep the story has appeared in advance.

Fortunately, Wu Xinyi didn't want to spread the stories written by Li Luoyang, so that Li Luoyang doesn't have to worry about "copyright" and ensure that each story can have a considerable income. Otherwise, she doesn't know what the situation will be like.

Half a month passed in a twinkling of an eye. Seeing that the new year was coming, Li Chengli also took the time to go back to Li's village. On the one hand, he asked someone to take care of Li Luoyang's old house, and on the other hand, he brought some handy tools from the past. Li Baoshan and others tried everything to retain Li Chengzhen's departure. Unfortunately, Li Chengzhen had made up his mind to go. In the end, no one could stay. Some people inevitably pointed the spearhead at Li Luoyang.

Although the "Li Chengcheng blacksmith shop" was not open for business, the sound of "jingling" began two days ago. After Li Luoyang explained in detail and solved all the manufacturing problems of Li Chengxin, he basically didn't have to worry about the later construction. Li Chengxin's construction speed was very fast, that is, several large parts had been completed in three days. In order to ensure the quality of the first experimental furnace, Li Luoyang spared no expense to let Li Chengxin directly use brass as raw material, Just buying materials almost didn't compensate Li Luoyang's last family.

In the process of making, Li Chengzhen was not sure about several places. After he found Li Luoyang, they studied and discussed together in the blacksmith shop. As a result, Li Luoyang found a characteristic of Li Chengzhen - when it comes to Li Chengzhen's "specialty", he is not dull at all. He not only thinks and responds quickly, but also talks a lot.

Maybe this is the characteristic of craftsmen. Li Chengzhen has seen a lot of people like Li Luoyang in his last life.

With their concerted efforts, the first sample furnace was successfully completed in only five days. In order not to waste time, Li Luoyang decided to ignite the experiment in the room behind the blacksmith's shop, which was used as a warehouse.

The charcoal bought was put in and lit, and then the door of the furnace was closed. After seeing the fire burning, Li Luoyang asked Li Cheng to light some candles in the room, and then the two went out together to close the doors and windows.

Through the white paper on the window, Li Luoyang can see whether the candles in the room are still on. Li honestly doesn't understand this way of inspection.

"In fact, the principle is very simple. If a candle wants to burn, it needs something in the air, which is also needed by people. If the candle goes out, it means that the stove produces a lot of waste gas, which will cause harm to people."

"If you don't extinguish it, will you succeed?" Li Chengcheng asked.
