At the same time, through the streets and alleys, more than a dozen streets away from the Ten Days Restaurant, Wang Gan's carriage came to an abrupt halt. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info net

Wang Chong jumped out of the carriage, said goodbye to his uncle Wang Gan, and watched the carriage disappear into the distance.

"Childe, where are we going now?"

The eagle, the lone wolf, and the iron hand rushed down after the king, and stood in the street.

"Go find someone. ”

Wang Chong smiled, glanced at the golden token in his palm, and quickly took the token of Zhang Qiu and Qiong into his arms.

I saw Xian Yu Zhongtong, got the token of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and knew that Zhang Qiantuo came to Jingshi together, so it was time to go to that person.

Walking down a dark, damp alley, he soon left the rich area of Kyoshi. In front of me, low, dilapidated houses slowly appeared.

This is the slum.

Wherever there are rich people, there are poor people. It's the same with Kyoshi.

After turning a few alleys, the eyes are getting more and more dilapidated.

"What is Childe doing here?"

The eagle, the lone wolf, and the iron hand are becoming more and more curious. The three of them are very familiar with Jingshi, but even they haven't been to this place where Wang Chong came.

The heirs of the nine dignified princes, the general will be the first to be the first of the two people, and the three of them can't understand how a noble son like Wang Chong could come to a dilapidated place.

"This should be it. ”

Wang Chong looked at the mansion in front of him.

By the standards of a slum, the mansion in front of you should look quite magnificent. However, the old wooden doors that show signs of decay, the wet old steps covered with moss, and the grass growing at the base of the walls are enough to show that this is not the big gate you imagined.

Bang bang!

Wang Chong walked up the steps and knocked on the door. A moment later, the door opened, and a head poked out of it.

"Who are you looking for?"

The man was sleepy-eyed and looked like a servant.

"We're looking for Master Zhang. ”

Wang Chong smiled slightly and said politely.

The servant suddenly came to his senses, glanced at the luxurious clothes on Wang Chong and the others, and quickly opened the door.

The room was dark, with only a simple oil lamp lit with a faint glow.

An old man in his fifties, full of wrinkles, looking very old, was lying on a bamboo chair, smoking a dry cigarette, wisps of blue-purple smoke filled the room, looking very decadent.

"Ordinary people don't find it here. Who the hell are you?"

Although he was talking to the four of them, the old man's eyes were out of focus, and he was smoking a dry cigarette together, looking very careless.

"Hehe, old man, I'm here to ask you to help build a house. ”

Wang Chong said.

"Humph!"

Hearing Wang Chong's words, the old man was stunned, and finally showed a little serious look, but he smiled coldly, closed the cigarette ash and tobacco in the dry tobacco bag, and refused without hesitation:

"I don't know where you heard about it, knowing I'm here. Still, you'd better die of this thought. Since I left the Ministry of Works, I have never built a house for anyone again. ”

This person is actually from the Ministry of Works!

Behind Wang Chong, the eagle, the iron hand, and the lone wolf looked surprised. Most of the people in the Ministry of Industry are extremely generous, they are ordinary civil servants, and they also live well-off, at least they will not live here.

No one thought that there would be people from the Ministry of Industry living here.

"It seems that Childe is looking for him for that matter. ”

The three of them said secretly in their hearts.

When Wang Chong attended Zhang Qiu and Qiong's banquet, they were also there, but they didn't sit at the wine table. Wang Chong bought Lion Rock to build a base, and the three of them knew it clearly.

"It seems that Childe wants him to help build the base. ”

"It's Childe, it's so secret here, how the hell does Childe know that he's here?"

The three of them wondered in their hearts.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, don't just build a house. I'm going to build a city. ”

Wang Chong smiled at this time, and his mind was all on the old man in front of him.

The reason why Wang Chong knew that this old man was here was very simple, it had nothing to do with the memory of his previous life, Wang Chong had seen him on the city tower once when he was a gentleman.

Wang Chong recognized him the first time.

As a qualified gentleman, this is the most basic ability.

"City?"

Rao is old man was not interested in the four of them at all, but when he heard Wang Chong's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, but he quickly sank his face with an angry face:

"Childe, are you kidding the old man? I don't care which family you are, now get out of here. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his dry tobacco pouch and pointed out!

He has seen a lot of people in his life, and he has seen everyone. Anything is requested. But not so ridiculous, to build a city?

Did he think it was a child's play?

Can this be built by one person's ability?

Do you know how much it will cost and how much it will cost?

Even the big families in the capital don't dare to boast about such a Haikou casually, is this kid crazy?

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, what I said is true, naturally it is true. If I'm going to play with you, do I need to come here?"

Wang Chong said seriously.

This old man is a bit stubborn, and it is not easy to convince him. However, Jiannan's base, as well as many of his future plans, will require the ability of this skilled craftsman in the Ministry of Works.

In Wang Chong's planning, this Zhang Lao Ke is a very important existence. It's almost not much worse than Zhang Munian.

It's just that the timing hasn't been right before.

So it wasn't until now, with Zhang Qiu and Qiong's line, that Wang Chong found the opportunity to invite him out of the mountain.

"Haha, boy, it's not that I look down on you. Do you know how much it costs to build a city?"

Zhang Shouyi's face was disdainful, he still didn't believe that this kid really came to ask him to build a city.

"A million taels?"

"What?

Zhang Shouzhi scoffed.

"Gold"

Wang Chong said seriously.

As soon as the voice fell, it was pitch black, and there was a sudden dead silence in the dimly lit room. Zhang Shouzhi's dry tobacco pouch hung in the air, and he even forgot to add tobacco.

The eagle, the iron hand, and the lone wolf all opened their mouths wide and were dumbfounded.

"A million taels?"

"Does Childe have so much money?!"

"Or gold, does it cost so much money to build a base?"

......

The three of them were even more shocked than Zhang Shouzhi. They have been following Wang Chong for a while, and they have vaguely heard a little about this son's deeds. I know that this person is very good at business.

But the three of them never knew that Wang Chong's strength had reached this level!

Especially a lone wolf, he didn't know how many tasks he had taken before, coming in the water and going in the fire. No one understands better than him what a million taels of gold means.

He has worked hard for so many years, and the money he earns is less than a fraction of Wang Chong's.

One million taels of gold, this is simply unimaginable!

"This is almost comparable to all the assets of a big family, and Childe's ability to do business is really amazing!"

The lone wolf said secretly in his heart.

"Boy, are you kidding?"

Zhang Shouzhi's expression froze, and he couldn't believe it. He originally wanted to say 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels, but he didn't expect that Wang Chong directly repaid 1 million taels of gold, which was far beyond his expectations.

Boom!

Wang Chong didn't speak, just pulled it from his waist, got off the two-sided token, and threw it over. On one side is Zhang Qiu and Qiong's private token, and on the other side is the Wang family token.

Zhang Shouzhi took the two-sided token in his hand, and at first he looked at it casually, and after seeing the emblem and logo on it, he couldn't help but tremble.

Only then did I know that the young man in front of me was far from what I could imagine.

"Old gentleman, our son is a believer, and if he says it, he will never lie. The old gentleman can believe this. ”

The eagle said with help.

"Humph!"

Just for a short time, Zhang Shouzhi snorted, flicked his wrist, and threw Wang Chong's two-sided token back:

"I don't know how Childe found here, but Childe doesn't have to work in vain. When I came out of the Ministry of Works, I said that I would never build anything for anyone again. You'd better die of this heart. ”

Zhang Shouzhi stretched out the dry tobacco pouch to the oil flame, lit it, and smoked it again, looking unwilling to communicate with Wang Chong again.

When he came out of the Ministry of Industry, he didn't know that the family came to him, and the conditions offered were also very generous, but in the end, he didn't agree to any of them.

It's really frustrating.

I have been a master craftsman of the Ministry of Engineering for a lifetime, and I don't know how many beautiful and gorgeous palaces have been built, but in the end, I was treated like this, and I was even sent out of the Ministry of Engineering.

The shame is simply unbearable.

Since then, Zhang Shouzhi has been determined not to touch any construction matters again.

"Why should Zhang Lao refuse in such a hurry. ”

Wang Chong smiled. He has heard of Zhang Shouzhi's temper for a long time, and none of the outstanding craftsmen who have done in the Ministry of Industry are not this temper.

However, it is impossible for him to come over without the certainty of necessity.

"2o thousand taels of gold, as long as Elder Zhang agrees to go out of the mountain. I am willing to provide 2o thousand taels of gold for Zhang Lao to continue the research of that secret recipe, and more resources will be provided in the future. ”

Wang Zheng suddenly stretched out two fingers and smiled mysteriously.

Hearing the word secret recipe, Zhang Shou's heart jumped, and he almost swallowed the pole of the dry tobacco pouch. How old is this little baby, how does he know about that?

Zhang Shouyi had a ghostly look on his face.

"Boy, don't be a fool, do you really know which research was conducted?"

Zhang Shouzhi was a little moved. If this kid really said that, it really tempted him greatly.

"Of course. ”

Wang Chong smiled slightly:

"Wasn't it because of this that Zhang Lao embezzled the silver in the palace and was almost taken to the criminal department to be beheaded?"

Zhang Shouzhi's rare old face turned red. Rao is thick-skinned, this ugly thing was exposed in front of people, and he felt that he couldn't hang on his old face.

"2o thousand taels of gold is not enough. Young man, you can think about it, it's a bottomless pit. I know you're from a famous family, but this research is basically a bottomless pit. No matter how much you put in, you won't necessarily be able to succeed. If it were that simple, I would have succeeded in the Ministry of Works. How could it be that it could be in such a field?"

Zhang Shouzhi said with a rare seriousness.

In more than a decade, he was the first person to make a big statement in support of his continued civil research. This made Zhang Shouzhi have a lot of good feelings for Wang Chong.

Although he doesn't necessarily say yes.

"Of course. It can support you more than 2o thousand, 3o thousand...... , a steady stream of supply, support for you, and even, I can provide you with a cement formula. ”

Wang Chong said.

"Cement?"

Zhang Shouzhi's eyes widened, and he didn't understand what Wang Chong was talking about at all.
