Chapter 336 Forced Camping

Liu Jingting was summoned back urgently.

Gu Yan specially rushed back to Pingjiang Bianye early.

Li Xiaonan borrowed someone from Gu Yan and rushed to summon Liu Jingting back. Gu Yan couldn't ask what happened, so he asked someone to look at Liu Jingting's itinerary and returned to another career in advance when Liu Jingting rushed back to Pingjiang City.

When Li Xiaonan entered the Linshui Hall inside the second gate, Gu Yan was already sitting in the Linshui Hall, crossing his legs and drinking tea.

Liu Jingting stood up to greet him, and Li Xiaonan stood up and said, "Did you see the cotton seeds in the past? They were all picked with your hands."

Liu Jingting nodded, "Is it all picking with my hands. Is there any other way?"

"Well, you can make a gadget, it's very simple, just have a carpenter." Li Xiaonan replied.

"How fast can it be?" Liu Jingting asked.

Li Xiaonan thought for a while and said, "The simplest type is at least worth ten, right? Or twenty or thirty, maybe more."

"It's also something like last time?" Liu Jingting asked again.

The last time the thing was so clever and great, but it was very difficult to make it, and it was very expensive.

"The last time things were too difficult. This one was very simple, very simple." Li Xiaonan understood what Liu Jingting meant, and she had learned her lesson.

"There are excellent carpenters if you don't have any jobs." Gu Yan continued.

"No karma is not allowed. I asked you to come back, not to make this thing, but to sell it after it is made. It is very simple. Any carpenter who is skillful can find it. I have a slightly more complicated and responsible thing, but I can also remove the dirty things in the lint by the way, which is faster." Li Xiaonan did not look at Gu Yan, but waved his hand at him and signaled him not to interrupt.

Liu Jingting subconsciously glanced at Gu Yan, thought for a while and said, "Now, the biggest business of the fusion loom is the Hong family. Otherwise, let the Hong family do it and we will take a share?"

Gu Yan wanted to speak, but he held back.

"Well, okay. The simple one is enough, just a carpenter. Do whatever you want. The slightly more complicated one needs to be a blacksmith, which will be more expensive. If someone imitates these two types, they can imitate them at will." Li Xiaonan said.

"Do you need something else to do behind?" Liu Jingting asked.

"Well, you need to go and see the spinning thread, and there should be some improvements." Li Xiaonan said.

Liu Jingting's eyes shined. After checking for a while, the price of fine cloth remained high. A large part of the reason was that the price of yarn was too expensive, not because of the lack of cotton, but because the process from deseeding to spinning into fine cloth was too labor-intensive and too expensive and slow.

"If the seed removal and spinning can be doubled quickly, the price of fine cloth can be 20% lower." Liu Jingting smiled.

"It will definitely be more than twice as fast. Start by removing the seeds first. The weaving is too slow and you have to change it, and you will do it step by step." Li Xiaonan said with a smile.

"today……"

"It's too late today." Gu Yan interrupted Liu Jingting's words.

"I'm going to Kunshan County today and I'll come here tomorrow..."

"You will be waiting in Kunshan County tomorrow, and I will accompany Annan tomorrow morning." Gu Yan said.

"Yes, then let's go to Kunshan County." Liu Jingting looked at Li Xiaonan, saw Li Xiaonan nodding, bowing to Gu Yan, and leaving, and hurried to Kunshan County.

Seeing Liu Jingting rushing out, Li Xiaonan turned to Gu Yan, "You have such a big deal, why are you so idle?"

"My big things are muddy." Gu Yan said as muddy, but he didn't have much worries. He released all the bait he should have put on for major things, and now he has to wait patiently.

"Then you go with me tomorrow." Li Xiaonan smiled.

The next day, when Li Xiaonan and Gu Yan rushed to the Hongjia Wood Workshop outside Kunshan County, Mr. Hong and Mr. Hong San, Li Shikuan, Li Wenru, and Liu Jingting, who took over the wooden workshop from Mr. Hong, were already waiting.

The wooden workshop was cleaned very clean. The craftsmen had newly combed their hair and put on the most decent clothes. They stood in two rows with their hands hanging down. Among the craftsmen, various tools and soft and hard wood were arranged neatly.

After entering the wooden workshop, Shi Geng directed the two servants to put down a chair. Gu Yan sat down and waved his hand and smiled: "I'm free today, come and see the fun. If you are busy with yours, just pretend I'm not here."

Li Xiaonan went over and looked at the pile of wood, waved to the craftsmen, "Come here and see these two pictures."

Wanqing and Yuting each pulled a picture apart.

The craftsmen walked forward one by one with all their bodies in their hands. Some glanced at them and shook their heads and stepped back. Some turned their heads and looked at them with a confused look on their faces, and some frowned. They didn't know that they disliked the bad pictures, but they still realized something.

An old carpenter with gray hair frowned for a while, then looked at Master Hong San and said, "Master San, I want to take a look again."

Mr. Hong, who was staring at the confused carpenters, was sweating in a hurry, waved his hand, "Then go and see!"

After saying this, Mr. Hong felt something was wrong and hurriedly looked at Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong smiled and signaled to the old carpenter.

The old carpenter stepped forward and twisted his head to look. Yuting simply handed him the picture, "Please take it and see it yourself."

The old carpenter took the picture and looked around for a while, but didn't dare to look at Li Xiaonan. He looked at Yuting and said, "The villain thinks that this is a big wheel and a small wheel?"

Yuting looked at Li Xiaonan.

"Yes! What about that one?" Li Xiaonan signaled to Wan Qing's hand.

"These are two wheels." The old carpenter was not very sure.

What are the two wheel stickers together?

"By the way! This big wheel has a pedal, and this small wheel is connected to these two wheels. One person stands here, stepping on the pedal, the big wheel rotates, and the small wheel rotates with the two wheels. Can it be done?" Li Xiaonan asked with gesture.

"The villain has to think about it again, and he has to try it." The old carpenter said, looking at the two middle-aged people among the group of carpenters.

"Connect with a pole." said a middle-aged man.

"The wheels must be made of the hardest material." Another middle-aged man said.

"Then you guys try it now, I'll watch here." Li Xiaonan smiled.

"The princess and princess should go to the house to watch it. First, they come to work and come here dirty, and second, they are also restrained." Li Shikuan and Li Xiaonan said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Xiaonan simply agreed, waved to Gu Yan, Gu Yan stood up and followed Li Xiaonan into the three rooms that he had already packed out.

Old Master Hong and Li Shikuan looked at each picture while talking. Liu Jingting, Li Wenru and Hong Sanye turned around behind the group of carpenters, stretching their necks to look.

The ones selected by Mr. Hong San were the best carpenters. Not long after, they made two gears, one big and one small, and two round wheels. Under Li Xiaonan's guidance, they installed a pedal and added a connecting rod.

Gu Yan followed him for a while, came out of the workshop, looked around, picked up a place, and ordered Wang Gui to take his guards to set up tents and bury the stove to cook.

Yesterday, Li Xiaonan said that he would take two tools to make and go back to another job. Last night, he ordered the camping in the wild to prepare.

When it was dark, the two gears connected to the pedal could turn, and Li Xiaonan was very satisfied.

Shi Gun Office has always been thoughtful and camped in Kunshan County. It is not enough to follow military affairs. For example, the chefs from other industries cannot bring a few, and they always have to bring enough ingredients. In the middle, Li Shikuan sent someone back to send a message, asking Li Wenhua to personally deliver some live chickens, live sheep, rice cakes and so on.

Everyone ate a few bites for lunch, and the dinner was very rich. Gu Yan invited Mr. Hong, Li Shikuan and others to have a meal together, and also sent stewed mutton, fried chicken and rice to carpenters.

Old Master Hong had already sent someone to send a bedding to wait.
