Chapter 22 Deal
Zhang Ziyun couldn't answer, Wang Yue had too many secrets, and there was always no answer. She asked, "Daddy, how is this wine?" ”
"Wine is good, but it's not strong enough! I think it's the glasses and bottles that are worth a lot. Zhang Zhiji said.
"Hexiang, bring it!" Zhang Ziyun said.
He Xiang took a bottle of Wuliangye from the outside and put it in front of Zhang Zhiji's seat.
Zhang Zhiji picked up the wine bottle and read: "Wuliangye." This? ”
Zhang Ziyun went over and unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle, and immediately the aroma of the wine overflowed, and the wine was poured into the wine cup.
Zhang Zhiji couldn't wait to pick up the wine cup and drink it in one gulp.
"Well, this wine is good! Sweet and mellow in the mouth, fragrant in the mouth! It's good wine, hahaha! Zhang Zhiji said with a smile.
"Second sister, bring me a cup too!" The prince Jang Sung-taek also looked greedy.
"I want it too!" "I want it too!" The second and third said one after another.
Zhang Ziyun handed the wine to Hexiang and motioned to pour wine for his brothers.
Zhang Shize stroked his beard, put away his smile and said to Zhang Ziyun: "Yun'er, this wine is very expensive, right?" Just look at this wine bottle and you'll know it's extraordinary! That friend of yours must have something to ask for, I guess right? ”
"Daddy, let's go to the study after dinner!" Zhang Ziyun said.
In the study, after listening to Zhang Ziyun's narration, Zhang Shize paced back and forth to think.
After that, he instructed the maid outside: "Please ask the old manager to come to the study." ”
Zhang Huai, the head of the British government, is an old man who has been on an errand here for more than 40 years. He is 60 years old this year and is quite respected by the British public.
Seeing Zhang Huai coming, Zhang Shize asked, "Boss, how much land does our house have in Wanping?" What is the price of land now? ”
Zhang Huai didn't know why Guogong suddenly cared about things, and he usually didn't ask.
"Our Guogong Mansion has 56,000 acres of land in Wanping. In recent years, land prices have been unstable and have been falling. There is a Yongding River near Wanping, and the land near the river is also considered to be a good land, with more than 7,000 acres, and one acre of land last year was worth about six taels of silver. This year's drought has almost dried up the river, and this land is less than five taels of silver, and the rest of the land is worth three taels of silver at most. "Zhang Huai knows the land of the Guogong Mansion well.
"Oh!" Zhang Zhiji pondered for a moment and said to Zhang Ziyun: "Then sell him 30,000 mu, but I don't want silver, I want other things!" ”
Zhang Ziyun understood when he heard it, and asked, "Daddy wants those glasses and wine?" ”
"yes, what other good things does he have? I'll take a look. Zhang Zhiji asked.
Zhang Ziyun thought to himself, that guy has a lot of good things.
Turning around, he told Hexiang to go back and get a mirror, which was a twenty-centimeter-high glass mirror.
Zhang Zhiji looked at it carefully for a while, and asked Zhang Huai: "Boss, what price do you think this mirror can be worth?" ”
Zhang Huai looked at the mirror, touched the plastic frame, and thought about it: "It's really rare to see people in a mirror so clearly, this is brighter than the mirror of the Xiyi people." And this side of the frame is made of an unknown material, I estimate that it sells for five hundred taels, and many large families will ask for it. ”
"Okay," Zhang Zhiji said to his daughter: "20,000 acres of land, exchange for 100 cups, 200 mirrors, four boxes of wine, and four boxes of Wuliangye." ”
"Daddy," Zhang Ziyun gasped angrily: "How can you be unreasonable?" A cup is 5,000 taels, a hundred is 500,000 taels, not to mention other objects. How much is 20,000 acres of land? You, you! ”
"Yun'er, you have wronged your father." Zhang Zhiji was also confused by his daughter, and he didn't know what to say, "If there is only one cup, it can indeed be sold for 5,000 taels." If it's a hundred, it will sell for two or three thousand taels at most. The further you sell it, the less valuable it becomes! ”
Zhang Ziyun thought about it, it seemed to be the case, but he still felt that his father's asking price was too high: "No matter how you say it, 20,000 acres of land is not worth so much money." ”
Zhang Zhiji said with a smile: "Of course our Guogong Mansion can't do loss-making business, now he wants to buy land, not me want to sell." Why do you turn your elbows outward? I think that's it! I didn't overwhelm people with power, and he was already burning high incense. It's not for your sake yet! ”
Zhang Ziyun said helplessly: "When will you do the matter of the tribute car?" ”
"Isn't it just a carriage, what is there to pay tribute to? There is no shortage of that in the palace. Is it made of glass, which will shatter at every touch? Zhang Zhiji disagreed.
"It's not a carriage," Zhang Ziyun didn't know how to describe it, "You don't need a horse, you don't need a cow to pull it, you can walk by yourself." The whole body is covered with iron, shiny and shiny, walking like flying, and the windows are made of glass. ”
"Oh? Don't you need someone to pull it? Zhang Zhiji was curious.
Zhang Ziyun said: "No, there is a mechanism inside the car, and one person sits in front to control the direction and speed." ”
"That's still a little interesting," Zhang Zhiji said to Zhang Huai: "Boss, you go with Yun'er, do a little bit of land sales, and by the way, see what magic this car has." ”
Five days later, Wang Yue, who was finishing a traffic accident, heard that Zhang Ziyun was coming, and immediately drove to the south gate.
This is a traffic accident caused by a brick truck that hit and killed a construction worker. In Wang Yue's view, it is not accidental, but inevitable. These drivers are all hastily fighting, and it is fortunate that they have not had an accident until now. Wang Yue deducted 50 points from the penalty for the driver who caused the accident, suspended him for 10 days, and asked Wang Pengyuan to take 100 taels of silver from the treasury to the family of the deceased. This traffic accident will serve as a model and educate all drivers.
Zhang Ziyun observed the city, which was much taller than the last time he came, almost ten feet. The young and strong people who built the city on the city wall were busy on a kind of iron frame, which was covered with a green net to prevent falling objects. She was secretly surprised that iron was used everywhere here.
Originally, Zhang Huai didn't believe it, but when he sat in the car that the second lady said, he believed that there was really such a car in the world. This completely broke his perception of the car for decades, and he felt that he had really lived in vain. In the past, those ox carts and horse-drawn carts could only be described as simple.
Zhang Huai was also full of curiosity about the young man who drove in the front row, who was said to be the lord of the city. He is not a teenage girl like Miss Er, he is an old man with decades of life experience.
He looked closely at it, and was sure that the craftsman could not build the car. Not to mention those unknown materials and instruments, as well as the shiny paint on the body, the key is what kind of mechanism! No one can make it in the Ming Dynasty. What kind of person is this?
When Zhang Ziyun was embarrassed to tell Wang Yue that the British duke requested.
Wang Yue's heart blossomed, this little thing was exchanged for more than ten square kilometers of land, and there was no more cost-effective deal.
He immediately said: "No problem, deal!" ”
