and see!"This time, the shouts were filled with excitement.Yang Lin's heart skipped a beat. He looked towards the skeleton at the mouth of the cave and swallowed hard.What did you find this timeHe hu..."Well! Uncle Shunzi, I understand. But I can't do anything about it right now. I can only ask you to hold on for a while longer. If you feel too tired, take a break and give everyone else a day off too." Yang Lin said.

"Vacation"

Zhao Shunzi was dumbfounded and shook her head hurriedly.

“This won’t do, sir. You’ve already been more than kind to us. We have light work and good pay, so there's no need for a holiday! Besides, I've never heard of ordinary people taking holidays! There’s still so much work to be done. No, no, we can’t take a holiday.”

Zhao Shunzi's head bobbed like a metronome.

Hearing this actually made Yang Lin even more determined to take a vacation.

"That's settled!" Yang Lin said without a doubt. "From now on, we'll have two days off every month, on the first and fifteenth. We'll also have holidays off!"

Even Li Yuxiang was stunned.

She opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Zhao Shunzi still wanted to refuse, but Yang Lin waved his hand: "My decision won't change! People aren't machines, when you're tired you need to rest. Besides, there's no end to work. Other workshops are the same, everyone has two days off every month!"

As for Zhao Tian...

Yang Lin turned his head and looked at the disheveled youth, asking, "Would you like to go to the design workshop"

Zhao Tian nodded.

Zhao Shunzi hurriedly said, "My nephew is good in every way, just a little slow. Please don't mind, sir."

Yang Lin naturally didn't mind.

Geniuses often have quirks, the more so, the more it proves they are a genius!

Although Du Jing managed the design workshop and had been very successful, achieving successes in papermaking and watermill construction, Yang Lin knew that Du Jing wasn't truly a genius. He merely possessed a rich imagination and strong practical skills, but lacked that spark of instant creative inspiration!

And in this regard, Zhao Tian happens to be able to make up for it.

"If you go to the design institute, you can be Jing Ge's assistant, and your salary will be paid according to the main person in charge. As for bonuses, they will be linked to inventions and creations. I guarantee that you won't earn less than here!"

Zhao Tian nodded, forcing out a word: "Okay."

He also explained to Zhao Shunzi the next steps for the development of the foundry, specifically what tools to refine and some ideas on refining titanium metal. Finally, he asked him to replace some precision parts on the crossbow with steel, thereby further enhancing the accuracy of the crossbow.

After explaining everything, Yang Lin left with several finished hand grenade cast iron parts.

Just leaving the foundry, Li Yuyao asked, "Are these iron implements made for that kind of explosive gunpowder"

Yang Lin was stunned. "How did you know"

This iron part's purpose, he never told anyone.

If people from a previous generation saw this iron part shaped like a wine glass, it would be very difficult for them to imagine it as a grenade.

My own wife guessed it right away!

Li Yuxiang said, “The last time I saw the scene after the explosion, the bamboo tube was shattered into pieces. At that time, I was thinking, if some stones were put inside the bamboo tube, then when the stones were shot out, the killing power of the explosion would become even greater.”

"And you created this iron that shatters with a single blow, the fragments both sharp and even. Simply put gunpowder inside, detonate it, and every piece flying out will be a powerful hidden weapon!"

Hundreds of concealed weapons, covering an area of two or three meters around, within the range, either death or injury!

"My husband, you are such a genius!"

Yang Lin was stunned.

He crafted his hand grenades with wooden handles, relying on the shrapnel propelled by the explosion to inflict damage.

On the other hand, another type of egg-shaped, handleless grenade, the most common one seen in movies and TV shows, has hundreds of small steel balls wrapped around the core explosive charge! The explosion sends these steel balls flying, creating the lethal force.

This is similar to what Li Yuy Yao proposed with filling stones!

Are you a genius

I'm just relying on my past experiences and understanding of these basic principles to come up with this.

And the lady She directly came up with the structure of a grenade explosion.

This is true genius!

"The King covers the Earth Tiger!" Yang Lin suddenly exclaimed.

"Huh"

Li Yuxiang is dubious.

"Palace Jade Liquid Wine!"

"What"

Li Yuyao couldn't understand more and more.

It's nothing.

Yang Lin let out a wry smile. In the end, he had overthought things.

Just as Yang Lin dispelled his suspicions that his wife was also a traveler, Li Yuyao suddenly spoke up: "Husband, I told Old Master Kong to take you to Suizhou with them."

"What"

This time, Yang Lin was stunned.

Originally, in order to save tens of thousands of people, all he needed was to be well-prepared. Sending him on a trip wouldn't be a problem either.

But when I learned that it didn't need to be done by myself and the effect would be the same, what was the point of bothering

Isn't it better to stay in the village and look after a group of wives

"Why is that" Yang Lin hurriedly said, "Madam, I have already told Mr. Kong and his disciples, they can solve this matter themselves, there's no need for me to go!"

Li Yuyao nodded: "I know, but this is a rare opportunity, you can't miss it!"

"What opportunity"

Yang Lin was increasingly unable to understand.

"What a wonderful opportunity to meet their master and apprentices!"

Li Yuyao said with a deep frown, "Those four masters and apprentices are not simple. Following them, you can learn a lot!"

Yang Lin, however, shook his head dismissively. "If that's all there is to it, I won't go,"

The four master and apprentice were indeed not ordinary people, but after these two encounters, Yang Lin felt that they were just so-so.

They were great scholars, generals, officials, and wealthy merchants. They possessed extraordinary knowledge, insight, and experience...

But I'm not bad either!

What one possesses is the profound insight brought by the five thousand years of civilization history accumulated from past lives.

Although his historical knowledge might be average, throughout history, he can effortlessly name legendary kings, generals, wise rulers, and eminent scholars. His vast store of anecdotes about them is perhaps not inferior to that of the great Confucius!

Li Yuyáo's face grew even more serious, as if she had seen through Yang Lin's thoughts: "Husband, you still underestimate them!"

"Huh"

Li Yuxiang said, "Don't you think that these four master and disciples don't have anything particularly special"

Yang Lin nodded.

That's what he thought.

"That's completely wrong!"

"My husband, let me tell you about the past of these four people."

"Now, let's talk about Ma Ruyun. You know he's a wealthy tycoon from the Jiangnan region, his fortune comparable to the national treasury. But do you know that he built his wealth from scratch From an unknown peddler who couldn't even afford medicine for his wife to a millionaire in just half a year"

And from his beginnings to becoming the richest man in Jiangnan, expanding his business throughout the world, do you know how long it took him

"Five years! Only five years!"

Yang Lin was completely stunned.

This earning speed is simply faster than myself!

Could he also be a traveler from the futureIt is now the middle of the month.The night was deep, a round moon hung high in the sky.Inside the Yang family home, everyone sat together, watching Xiao Jiu calculate.
