You can get anything in the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changliang smiled sheepishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My ma had me bring it. A lot of this is food she packed for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan nodded and patted Su Changliang’s shoulder, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, get in the carriage. You look frozen. Go get warm at the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changliang nodded repeatedly, but after getting into the carriage, he noticed his brother-in-law wasn’t joining him and asked curiously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother-in-law, aren’t you getting in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan said with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not heading back just yet. I have some business to take care of out here. You go on. Your sister’s waiting for you at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changliang nodded and didn’t say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Su Changliang was in the carriage, Lu Yuan walked over to a nearby stall and called out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One bowl of soft tofu pudding, no cilantro, extra spicy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two fried dough sticks, and make it quick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner immediately called back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You got it, sir! Have a seat, it’ll be out in a jiffy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Last night’s business dragged on a bit long.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Heh, had to wait for the red polish on my wife’s pretty feet to dry, you know?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s why I didn’t get up until after eight this morning.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Didn’t have time for breakfast, so I just grabbed my men and headed out.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changliang sat in the carriage, poking his head out to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw his brother-in-law eating at a breakfast stall, he couldn’t help but grumble to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why didn’t my sister make breakfast for him this morning?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his breakfast, Lu Yuan led the old steward and his men to the empty plot of land outside Taiping City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this same time yesterday, the place had been a barren patch with nothing on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, there were at least several hundred people here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an especially large number of ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages arriving from all directions, laden with building materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Yuan and his party arrived, the foreman immediately hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group began to inspect the site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling was quite familiar to Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, however, Lu Yuan had just been one of the guys in a blue hard hat. When the big boss came to inspect, he could only trail at the very back of the entourage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But now... heh, I’ve leveled up to a white hard hat.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hands clasped behind my back, people at my side reporting on all the progress...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yeah, this is the life.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Lu Yuan was building wasn’t just a factory; to be precise, it was a whole factory complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if it were just a large workshop,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there would be no need for several hundred people to be working on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could just prop up a few wooden pillars, stretch some canvas over them, and wrap the outside with a layer of sheet metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then cover the top with more sheet metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there you have it—a perfectly functional workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Lu Yuan aimed to build, however, included a work zone, a living zone, and even—for when the workforce grew larger in the future—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>an indispensable commercial zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, though, the priority was to get the workshops and living quarters built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workshops were easy enough—they would be those large, shed-like structures he’d just been thinking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The living quarters, too, would be simple sheds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, the factory is just getting started, and I haven’t earned a single damn cent. How could I possibly build proper wooden or stone houses for the workers to live in?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have to be improved gradually. Rome wasn’t built in a day, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The most important thing now is figuring out what to make that will actually earn money!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, Lu Yuan, who possessed Craftsmanship, wasn’t worried about *what* he could make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could whip up just about anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem was how to *sell* what he made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, he could probably build a car right now. There was no gasoline, but they had Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be powered by Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he built such a contraption, who besides wealthy people like Aunt Zhao could possibly afford it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides having the right price, a product also had to be timely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selling summer clothes in the winter, for instance, was a guaranteed way to fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan mulled it over for a few days and eventually decided...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...that rather than wracking his brain to invent some blockbuster product, some ridiculously awesome thing that would be an instant hit and make him a massive fortune overnight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would be better to be practical and take a more stable, reliable path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Craftsmanship, he never had to worry about running out of things to make, anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That being the case, he might as well make a small batch of many different things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, whatever sold well, he would produce more of, and whatever sold poorly, he would cut back on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no real need to gamble everything on one big hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, you might win a single bet, but you can’t build a life on gambling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, everyone: gambling and drugs are your mortal enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are designs for a few improved lathe models. While the factory is under construction, we can gather all the blacksmiths in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have them modify the lathes according to these diagrams. If there’s anything they can’t do or don’t understand, have them come to me immediately. I’ll handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1170,"2026-05-30T14:11:52.988Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.829Z",1,"novelbin.me","97eaccb28a351c5af964ded3ad0a7b809e5c610cf149d638f10276419710a762","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-92","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-90",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-cover.jpg"]
