In the evening, Fang Jue explained to the soldiers, and then left the barracks, he still had something to do. As soon as he returned to the Summer Palace, Fang Jue didn't have time to take a bath, but asked the maid to bring a pen and paper.

"Xiao Yuelian'er, you take this drawing, go to the largest blacksmith shop in Chang'an, and let them make it according to this shape, they want good copper, as for the price, you can negotiate it. It's best to do it within two days, no matter what method is used. ”

Fang Jue drew a rectangular pattern on the drawing, marking the size and thickness. The number is one thousand and one thousand. And each one must have numbers on it, and Fang Jue has made detailed annotations.

"Young master, what does this box do, and it still needs so much." The maid Bi'er was on the side, and asked a little puzzled.

"This is a lunch box, a lunch box that won't break." Fang Jue said.

"Young master, we used 10,000 taels of silver to reward the soldiers today, and we don't have much left." Nan Feng and Li'er were in charge of the money, so they reminded Fang Jue. When they came to Chang'an, they only brought 20,000 taels of silver, which they spent a lot some time ago, and there was not much left.

Fang Jue was a little at a loss, he only cared about spending money lavishly, and he really hadn't thought about the time when the money was exhausted. It will take at least a few months to allocate funds to the imperial court, and it may not be possible to allocate them. borrowed from the palace, but Fang Jue couldn't open his mouth again. It is impossible for people to go back to Jiangning County to get it, Fang Jue is a little big.

"Young master, there is a young man Qian who wants to see you today, and Li'er said that you went to the barracks, and I don't know when you will come back." Li'er said suddenly.

As soon as Fang Jue heard Mr. Qian, his eyes lit up, it was really another village, and as soon as he was short of money, the God of Wealth appeared.

"Li'er, tomorrow you go to Mr. Qian according to this address, and ask him to accompany you to do this, if you are short of money, you can borrow it from this Mr. Qian, saying that I will pay him back if I have money." Fang Jue said. "Don't forget that it was to add armaments to the new army, or the prince specially instructed it."

Li'er remembered Fang Jue's words, and then went to prepare hot water for Fang Jue to bathe.

Fang Jue was not worried about the matter of the copper lunch box, but was thinking about how to train the new army tomorrow. Fang Jue began to conceive and stayed awake all night.

Until early in the morning, Fang Jue suddenly woke up.

"Nanfeng, when is it?"

"It's noon in two hours."

"Ah, why didn't you wake me up?" Fang Jue hurriedly began to put on his shoes.

"Xiao Yue and Li'er went out early in the morning."

Bi'er walked in at this time and helped Fang Jue put on armor.

"Bi'er, you go to a nearby restaurant to buy a hundred cooked roast chickens, and let them deliver them to the gate of the new army barracks in the afternoon." Fang Jue said.

Fang Jue gave Bi'er some more instructions, and then went towards the barracks with Nan Feng.

On Chang'an Street, Nan Feng and Li'er found Qian Kai's residence.

"May I ask if this is the mansion of Prince Qian Kai?" Li'er politely said to the janitor of the Qian Mansion.

"Who are you, our young master is still sleeping, come back after lunch." The Qian family naturally knew the habits of their young master, and they didn't dare to report it.

"We are Fang Jue's people, if we have something important to discuss with Qian Gongzi, please report it."

"It doesn't matter who you are, no one should disturb my son-in-law when he sleeps, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

"Whether you go or not, if you don't go, I will go by myself, do you know the identity of my son-in-law, my son-in-law is the prince and Taibao." After Xiao Yue finished speaking, he headed towards the Qian Mansion.

The prince Taibao, this family still knows, and he doesn't know what Taibao means, but the word prince has already scared him to death. Where is it good to block, hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

"Childe, Childe, the prince is here."

Nan Feng and Li'er stood at the door, waiting for the Qian Mansion family to report it.

"Bastard, this son hasn't slept well yet." Qian Kai yawned. "What did you just say?"

"The people of the crown prince and the Taibao came to find the prince."

When Qian Kai heard this, he turned over and got up, and the two maids hurriedly changed clothes for Qian Kai.

"Brother Jue, where is Brother Jue?" Qian ran out without putting on his shoes.

"My son-in-law has already gone to the barracks, but my son-in-law has something to discuss with Mr. Qian." The maid said.

Qian Kai listened to Li'er's words and probably understood. Fang Jue is short of money. However, Qian Kai was very happy, because Fang Jue's first thought was himself, a friend and a brother. Qian Kai heard that it was the prince's special instructions, so he was even more willing to help Fang Jue. Although Qian Kai is a rich second generation who has nothing to do on the surface, he is not stupid, if he can climb to the crown prince, then Qian Fu's business in the capital will be equivalent to having a prince cover, and no one can sell face.

"Copper is forbidden to be bought and sold by the court, and there are so many." Qian Kai still knows this, and it seems a little difficult. "But since there is a prince as a guarantor, and it is for the new army, it will be much easier."

The Qian Kai family has a small copper mine, except for a few important people in the Qian family, the outside world knows nothing, and they are also secretly doing copper trading. You can't buy copper on the market unless you melt it.

Qian Kai took Xiao Yue and Li'er to stay in a blacksmith shop of the Qian family for a while, Qian Kai instructed the shopkeeper, and then walked out again.

Coming to a relatively large blacksmith shop, dozens of workers were busy.

"Boss, come here."

Qian Kai sat on a stool, his legs crossed.

A burly, bare upper body, covered in oil, walked over. "What do you need?"

Li'er showed the drawings to the boss for a while, and the boss of the iron shop understood, but he was a little embarrassed. Obviously, because of the material, copper is not allowed to be traded, not to mention that the amount is not small.

"You don't have to make the materials, you just need to make them, and give you a day." Of course, Qian Kai saw the doubts of the boss of the iron shop. "This is an armament for the new army, you can do it with confidence, and you can open the price."

Armament, that is, to make it for the court, the boss of the iron shop was bright, and he had no doubts, this was a big business, so he readily agreed. "Is the day a little too rushed?"

"Just one day, no matter what method you use, as long as the quality is guaranteed." Qian Kai said, changing his previous appearance. "The boss is a person who understands, and you don't lose money in this business."

"A salary of two taels of silver, one thousand and one hundred, will receive two thousand taels." The owner of the iron shop had a loss-stricken expression.

"One thousand taels, deal." Qian Kai suddenly counteroffered.

The owner of the iron shop suddenly turned pale, one thousand taels, how can this be, and it will take a day to rush out, and the dozens of people under him will definitely not be enough, and he has to go to other shops to borrow people, which will cost silver. "Childe, this, this is too little."

"Just one thousand taels, do it and make a deal, if you don't do it, I'll find someone else." After Qian Kai finished speaking, he got up to leave.

"Childe stays, a thousand is a thousand, I don't know when the materials will be delivered?" The boss of the iron shop still took this business with all his heart, if it was an ordinary person to do it, he would have to charge at least more than 5,000 taels, but this is a list from the imperial court, he can't afford to provoke it, even if he loses, he has to do it. In this way, the signboard of your own iron shop will be louder in the future, and you can add a royal custom name.

Xiao Yue and Li'er looked at Qian Kai with a stunned expression, sure enough, they are from a business family, so good at doing business, or their own young master is more powerful, they can find Qian Kai's son to come forward. When they see the finished product, I am afraid that they are even more surprised that such a good process can be done for such a small amount of money.
