Bai Xiaonan was angry, but still didn't make too much trouble.

After the banquet last night, she arranged Yu Wenjun in the room next to hers.

Yu Wenjun was too drunk, so he still hasn't gotten up from his sleep.

Xie Yu naturally wouldn't call the other party.

He just wandered onto the school grounds with two dark circles under his eyes.

At this time, everyone is practicing in the school field.

Seeing Xie Yu's appearance, many people couldn't help laughing.

The movements in this last exercise were somewhat deformed.

The third boss, Wang Yi, came to Xie Yu and patted Xie Yu on the shoulder sympathetically: "Men...if you want to be romantic, you have to pay the price!"

Liuzi and others also came over, looking like they were gossiping: "Mr. Xie, tell me, how did the boss beat you yesterday?"

Xie Yu smacked the fly away angrily: "Go, go, go! Just go and do what you have to do!"

But no one left.

Wang Yi continued to laugh and said: "You are already doing well! The boss is gentle, and she is not willing to really beat you!"

"You know, when the old village leader was here, his attacks were much more serious than those of the big boss!"

When the people nearby heard this, they all nodded with concern.

When Xie Yu heard this, he suddenly felt sympathetic: "What? Have you all been beaten by the old village master?"

"Then who can run away?" Wang Yi recalled the past, "All the old people in the village have been dealt with! The old village master has great skills and strong hands! Most people can't stand being slapped three or five times!"

"I remember that I made a mistake once and was beaten by the old village leader. But I was so stubborn that I was beaten for half an hour and didn't fall down!"

Xie Yu was immediately shocked!

The sixth man next to him curled his lips: "Third brother is bragging again! You were tied to a tree and beaten, didn't you fall down?"

Xie Yu's face dropped, and he didn't want to talk to Wang Yi for a moment.

After exercising with everyone for a while, Xie Yu went back to ask Bai Xiaonan to eat.

Bai Xiaonan did not forget to call Yu Wenjun together.

After breakfast, Yu Wenjun asked Xie Yu to take her around the village.

Traveling with beautiful women is a joyful thing.

But seeing Bai Xiaonan breaking the two stone bows with his bare hands in the school grounds, Xie Yu was desperate for survival!

He knew that if he didn't drive Yu Wenjun down the mountain, he might not have a good life in the future.

So Xie Yu took Yu Wenjun to an open area and asked, "Wenjun, when are you going to leave?"

Yu Wenjun pursed his lips: "Brother Xie, are you chasing me away?"

"Yes!" Xie Yu nodded and gave Yu Wenjun a positive answer straightforwardly.

"But I'm not familiar with Baishi Village yet..."

Xie Yu quickly clasped his hands together: "Stop talking this kind of nonsense, okay? Everyone is not a fool! Okay, I know, you have a little affection for me."

When Xie Yu said this, Yu Wenjun blushed instantly.

This was the first time she met such a straightforward person.

And Xie Yu's words directly made Yu Wenjun not know how to respond.

Xie Yu didn't care about Yu Wenjun's reaction. He continued: "I also know how this good impression came about. It's just that I rescued you that night! Women are easily influenced by Mu Qiang's mentality. , swaying the mind!”

"I'm actually very happy that you like me. The key is that our identities are very different and we can't be together!"

"Think about it for yourself, right? Will your father agree to marry his precious daughter to a bandit?"

"Since it's impossible, then stop this thought as soon as possible. It will be good for you and me! Look here!"

Xie Yu pointed to the dark circles under his eyes: "You've only been here for a day, and I'm already like this. If you stay here for a few more days, I'm afraid that the next time you see me, I'll be in pieces! "

Yu Wenjun's originally blushing face now turned a little pale.

After pursed lips and being silent for a long time, Yu Wenjun finally sighed and said with a lost look on his face: "I understand. I...I'll go back right now!"

"That's great!" Xie Yu clapped his hands, and then shouted to Bai Xiaonan, who was attacking the target in the distance, "Xiaonan, come on!"

When Bai Xiaonan heard that Yu Wenjun was going back, a surprised expression appeared on his face.

Looking at Yu Wenjun's expression on the verge of tears, Bai Xiaonan seemed to understand something.

Bai Xiaonan looked at Xie Yu's eyes, and the anger was gone.

Although Yu Wenjun agreed to go down the mountain, Xie Yu obviously would not let her, a weak woman, leave on her own.

Together with Bai Xiaonan, he escorted Yu Wenjun all the way to Yu Mansion.

After arriving home, Yu Wenjun was not even in the mood to say hello to the two of them.

He nodded directly to the two of them and left.

Yu Hua hosted Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan for one night and talked about pig iron.

Xie Yu originally planned to keep the three thousand taels of silver notes as payment for buying pig iron.

As a result, Yu Hua said that the first batch of pig iron was given as a gift, as a way of thanking Yu for the favor that the Yu family earned from General Yu Xiao.

On the third day after Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan returned to Baishi Village, the Yu family's first batch of pig iron was transported up the mountain.

There are fifty carts in total, each weighing five hundred pounds. A full 25,000 kilograms of pig iron!

The contact person of the Yu family said that this is just the first batch.

There are three more batches behind.

Yu Hua said that one hundred thousand kilograms of pig iron should be sent to Baishi Village every kilogram.

Xie Yu suddenly remembered that he had an affair with Yu Hua before.

At that time, he said that he would need 100,000 kilograms of pig iron, and that was every month.

Unexpectedly, Yu Hua would take it seriously.

But Yu Hua was willing to give it away, so Xie Yu naturally had no reason to refuse.

Anyway, Boss Yu is rich, and these 100,000 kilograms of pig iron are equivalent to two thousand taels of silver!

He can afford it.

With pig iron, there is no shortage of materials for this arrowhead.

The village can enter rapid production mode again.

However... this cottage has no shortage of materials but is starting to lack people.

Xie Yu calculated and found that with the efficiency of blacksmith Liu Dashan, he could make more than sixty arrowheads a day. An arrowhead weighs about 70 grams, and consumes less than ten kilograms of pig iron a day.

If all these 100,000 kilograms of pig iron were turned into arrowheads... I guess Liu Dashan would not be able to complete this task in his lifetime!

Sun Yiming is still working on his two-stone bow and compound crossbow, but the efficiency is not very high.

Xie Yu thought of assembly line work.

If the manufacturing process is really split into assembly work, not only will the efficiency be greatly improved, but confidentiality can also be taken into account.

But there must be someone first!

Faced with the huge "talent gap" in Shanzhai, Xie Yu actually felt helpless, as if a skilled woman cannot make a living without rice.

Bai Xiaonan also noticed Xie Yu's emotional changes.

So before going to bed that day, Bai Xiaonan asked about the reason.

"There is a shortage of people!" Xie Yu said, "There are so many materials piled up in the stockade, but there is no one available to help deal with it! I am worried about where to recruit people."

When Bai Xiaonan heard this, he also frowned: "This... is a problem. After all, craftsmen like Artisan Sun and Artisan Liu don't have to worry about having no food to eat. Let them abandon their stable life and come to the mountains to work as mountaineers. Bandits, I’m afraid not many will be willing.”

"It's not that you have to be a craftsman. Ordinary people can do it too! At worst, let them follow suit."

"Ordinary people?" Bai Xiaonan looked at Xie Yu in surprise, "Ordinary people, what are you worried about? It's hard to find craftsmen, so isn't it easy to find ordinary people?"

"What do you mean?" Xie Yu was stunned for a moment, "Can you find someone?"
