at is thunder It is the power of the gods! How could mortals possibly possess the power of the godsEven though Yang Lin made tofu, water wheels, and improved iron smelting, she still didn't believe th...Li Yuxiang's face flushed slightly, before she could speak, Liao Hongying beside her immediately glared and said, "No!"

Her voice was loud, and everyone turned to look at her.

Li Hongying immediately realized she had been too hasty and quickly explained, "Um... I mean, that's not good!"

Simei's description of that scene, even thinking about it makes me blush.

Let His Majesty and Yang Lin do that thing And they're closing their eyes beside them

This is too bad!

And, Your Majesty would certainly not accept it.

"Little Four giggled, "Elder Sister Three, look at you being so anxious. Could it be that you're also craving our husband's body Are you jealous"

"You, you don't talk nonsense!"

Liao Hongying's flushed face grew even redder, and she hurriedly changed the subject: "Xiao Jiu, did you really say that day that you were the daughter of Nanyang Prefect Han Feng"

All eyes were on Xiao Jiu.

Xia Jiu bit her lip and nodded lightly.

"My goodness."

"Little Nine, you're actually the magistrate's daughter Then how did you end up here"

"Yeah, what's going on here"

Everyone was curious about her status as the daughter of a magistrate.

Liao Hongying and Li Yuyao were also interested. They weren't gossiping, but because Nanyang City was very close to Pingyuan County, in terms of distance, Jianghe County was closer to Nanyang City than it was to Pingyuan County.

With such close proximity and Xiao Jiu as the intermediary, if they ever decided to rebel in the future, then perhaps the magistrate of Nanyang could be used for their own benefit!

Xiao Jiu hung her head and shook it. "He's my father, but he's also a jerk! He wasn't good to me. Even though I'm his daughter, my mother was just a maidservant in the house. After I was born, she didn't have any status, and my mother and I were always ostracized by the other wives. My brothers and sisters often bullied us too."

As for why I'm here...

Han Mengzhu's face was pale as she spoke, "I was framed by my elder sister and the others. They accused me of stealing from home, and Father believed them. I almost got beaten to death by them!"

Xia Jiu clenched her fists, raised her head to look at Yang Lin, her voice choked with sobs: "Brother, if I hadn't met you, I was planning to leave home, go far, far away, and never come back! I never wanted to see those disgusting faces again!"

That day I invoked Han Feng's name only because I didn't want you to get hurt. In fact, even if he were here, he wouldn't care about me.

"So, sisters, don't look at me like that. I'm not the daughter of a magistrate. Just like you all, I am merely a poor soul taken in by our brother!"

From now on, there will be no more Han Mengzhu in this world, only Xiao Jiu! Our Xiao Jiu.

Having finished speaking, Han Mengzhu rushed towards the crowd and bowed deeply.

The women were all moved by her experience, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy.

Yang Lin, however, said: "The name Han Mengzhu is very nice, don't give it up. You can be called Mengzhu or Xiaojiu."

Han Mengzhu nodded and said with a pleading look, "Brother, can I ask you one thing"

"What's up"

"Can you bring my mother out"

Han Mengzhu looked expectantly at Yang Lin.

"What"

Yang Lin was taken aback.

Han Mengzhu hurriedly explained: "My mother stayed there, she wasn't happy at all. I am now free, and I don't want my mother to continue suffering there."

Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh and cry: "This is a difficult task. You want me to go to Nanyang Prefecture and snatch the wife of the Prefect of Nanyang..."

"Brother... I miss my mother."

Han Mengzhu hugged Yang Lin's arm, leaning against his chest, and looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"I'll try my best, but it definitely won't work for now. Maybe in the future..."

"Yeah!"

Han Mengzhu nodded hurriedly. "As long as you agree, I believe you must have a way!"

Saying that, Han Mengzhu actually raised her head and kissed Yang Lin on the face.

"Brother, you're so kind."

"I want to be your little Jiu forever!"

She smiled and nestled affectionately into Yang Lin's arms, making his old face flush red again.

Xiaojiu opened her heart, the atmosphere became even more harmonious. Yang Lin planned to take this opportunity to let his wife and third sister also share their stories.

But these two seemed to be receiving no signal. Yang Lin understood that they still didn't want to tell their story, so he had to give up.

After lunch the next day, Yang Lin got busy.

Today was a busy day, continuing recruitment, forming the road repair team, selecting the site for the Rely on Mountain New Village project, and planning....

But the most important thing is still steelmaking!

In the afternoon, after finishing his other tasks, Yang Lin arrived at the courtyard where the iron-making workshop was located.

"Lin Di is here."

Upon seeing Yang Lin, Du Jing immediately excitedly greeted him.

"You came just in time, I was looking for you. The new type of water wheel you mentioned last time, we've made it!" Du Jing said excitedly.

Great! Amazing!

Yang Lin gave Du Jing a thumbs-up: "Jing Ge, you'll get an extra 200 wen in bonus this month! Everyone else will get 100 wen!"

One only possesses the mechanical foundation and experience, as well as knowledge of more advanced water wheel principles and structures, but lacks a wealth of details.

Don't look at it as just details; wanting to complete it takes a lot of thought and creativity.

This matter is most suitable for Du Jing to handle. If it were done by someone else, it might not necessarily be completed successfully.

Yang Lin didn't expect Du Jing and the others to finish it so quickly!

Upon hearing this, Du Jing was startled and quickly declined.

The rest all waved their hands and had strange expressions.

This boss, Yang Lin, is too generous! He just hands out bonuses whenever he feels like it! They all feel like they've already received enough.

"Alright, you all stop talking. You all know me, once I make a decision, it won't change."

And awarding bonuses is also a form of motivation! In the future, as long as someone can make a major invention or innovation, they will receive the corresponding bonus!

"Jǐngge, this time I came to find you because there's a new project for you!"

"Oh" asked Du Jing excitedly, "What are we going to improve this time"

"Paper!"

Yang Lin said with a smile.

But Du Jing was taken aback: "Paper"

He never expected Yang Lin to choose paper.

Though paper is a bit more expensive nowadays, it's still relatively usable. Is there really a need for innovation

"Jingge, please don't rush. Let's talk about revolutionizing papermaking later. I have another important matter to discuss this time."

"Forge it!"

"Uncle Shunzi, I plan to add twenty more people to the blacksmith's shop."

"What"

Zhao Shunzi shook her head hurriedly: "Yang Lin, ah, forging iron is just a matter of routine. We have enough manpower now and don't need so many people."

Yang Lin shook his head slowly: "It's not forging iron, but steel!"

From now on, the Iron Works will be renamed as the Smelting Works!

"As for manpower, adding another twenty people might not be enough."

"I've finished the blueprints. You guys first build a new furnace according to the drawings!"safe, all attention was now focused on the carriage."What's this"Xiaojiu had a bad feeling."Silver!" Yang Lin said with a smile.The curtains parted, revealing a multitude of large wooden chests, more...
