Out of the forging office, in addition to Dian Wei, Wen Ping and Zhou Wu both looked sullen, because except for Dian Wei's 300 knives to cut off the point steel iron knife , they didn't complete the task, and in the end Wen Ping only got a point steel knife and Zhou Wu only got a point steel knife and an iron knife.

"It's a pity, it's just twenty dollars!"

Recalling that the 320th knife had just cut off the iron knife, Zhou Wu was depressed and wanted to beat people, but as soon as he clenched his fist, the cracked tiger's mouth hurt and he gasped.

Just now, Zhou Wu was so desperate to cut off the knife in his hand that he slashed the tiger's mouth in both hands.

Unlike Zhou Wu, Wen Ping was convinced of the loss, because he had slashed four hundred knives, his tired arm was about to dislocate, and the steel knife in his hand was not broken, so he had no choice but to give up in the end.

After knowing the results of the knife test, Zhang Yi decided at that time to let the forging institute make all efforts to make 5,000 point steel pig iron seedling knives, and let the skilled masters rush to make 3,000 point steel iron knives.

The reason why Zhang Yi made this decision was due to two reasons, one is that there are not many blacksmiths who have mastered the technology of Baotou Steel, and similarly, there are not many blacksmiths who can make good iron knives, so they can only make the most inferior ones first, and the other is that Zhang Yi does not have much money in his hands now, and there are not many finished iron in his hands, so he cannot smelt some steel on a large scale, so he can only smelt iron, a weapon with less technical difficulty, first.

As soon as he thought of money, Zhang Yi, who was riding on a horse, immediately turned his head and asked Sima Wei: "Decao, how much gold is there in our treasury?" ”

Zhang Yi's money, except for the one he later recharged and not put in the treasury, all the rest was placed in the treasury of the Taishou Mansion, and the supervisors were Sima Wei, An Changshi and Chen Lin, but the main person in charge was Sima Wei, Sima Wei was equivalent to an accountant and cashier, except for the period of time in Yong'an, he kept an account of every expenditure of money in the treasury.

"Back to the lord," sitting on the horse, Zhang Yi owed, Sima said slowly: "Before the repair of the city defense and the construction of the new village and the people's remuneration, it was spent nearly 10,000 taels, in the past two months, we bought 600 good horses from the horse dealers in five times, consumed nearly 10,000 taels of gold and all the silver in stock, at the end of last month, we just purchased a large amount of grain from the merchants, consumed 10,000 taels of gold, and then spent another 10,000 taels of gold on the recruits' salaries, and then ......"

Sima Wei's successive reports made Zhang Yi's scalp tense.

"You don't have to repay me in detail," waving his hand to interrupt Sima Wei's words, Zhang Yi, who had a headache, said simply and directly: "You just said that in addition to the budget from next year to the beginning of spring, plus the emergency spare gold I asked you to keep, as well as the money for the construction of the Tiger Wolf Statue and the Three-legged Golden Toad Ancestral Hall, how much can we have left?" ”

In order to cope with the unforeseen needs, Zhang Yi asked Sima Wei to deliberately leave 10,000 taels for backup, and the 10,000 taels would not be used until it was absolutely necessary.

After thinking about it for a while, Sima Wei arched his hand and said, "If you count the remaining funds from Han Sheng and Black Tiger's clean-up operation, we will probably have 20,000 taels." ”

"Twenty thousand taels? Is there so much left? Scratching his head irritably, Zhang Yi sighed and said, "Oh my God, I'm about to become a poor egg again." ”

Although he was complaining, Zhang Yi knew that he still had to spend the money he should spend.

Back at the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Yi immediately ordered Chen Gong to personally take Huang Zhong's money to Bingzhou to purchase some steel and horses, and at the same time asked Chen Lin to bring a few people who had been to Luoyang with five thousand taels of gold to purchase a batch of ordnance, the focus of which was the ring head sword, armor and horses, and Sima Wei was responsible for transforming an ancestral hall in the Taishou Mansion.

Zhang Yi wanted to build an ancestral hall before, but considering the problem of money and time, he had to renovate it, and Sima Wei knew the design and layout of some ambushes, so Zhang Yi didn't let him go to Luoyang.

After Zhang Yi finished arranging the decree, Sima Wei suddenly bowed his hand and said: "Lord Qi, I have a friend in Yingchuan, who is proficient in organ ambushes, I want to send someone to ask him to come to help, I don't know if the lord has any family letters that need to be brought back to Runan." ”

After all, Sima Wei was the first person to follow Zhang Yi, so he knew that Zhang Yi still had relatives in Runan, and even knew that Zhang Yi also had a daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door.

Hearing Sima Wei mention Runan, Zhang Yi couldn't help but think of his grandmother and his daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door, this thought didn't matter, Zhang Yi's thoughts about his grandmother and Da Qiao immediately couldn't be suppressed.

After calculating the time in his heart, Zhang Yi opened his mouth and asked: "It's the third year of junior high school, if you hurry up, can you rush back after Lujiang County and before Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

Zhang Yi's question, Sima Weidang even understood what Zhang Yi meant, knowing that he wanted to go to Lujiang County to pick up his daughter-in-law, which made him secretly bitter in his heart, in fact, he originally wanted Zhang Yi to send someone to pick up Mrs. Zhang to come to Hedong, and then he secretly arranged it and solved the matter of Lujiang by the way, but he didn't expect it to arouse Zhang Yi's thoughts about Da Qiao, which made him have to tell Zhang Yi all the information he knew.

Wanxian, Lujiang County, at this moment, the news that the eldest lady of the Qiao family is going to marry is spreading all over the city.

"Yu Niang," looking at his daughter who was sitting on the bed, Qiao Gong persuaded bitterly: "You didn't marry that short-lived ghost at the beginning, you also heard it at the time, that short-lived ghost Zhang Yi, he is already dead, you said you... Do you say that you will never marry for him? ”

Just half a month ago, that is, in mid-November, Situ Zheng personally came to the door and brought bad news to Qiao Gong and Da Qiao, that is, Zhang Yi died in battle while suppressing bandits, and after hearing the news, Da Qiao fainted on the spot.

The day after Situ Zheng came to the door, Sun Jian personally came to the door to propose, and he asked Qiao Gong to let Da Qiao and Sun Ce get married at the end of the year according to what was said in the marriage book, and when he learned that Zhang Yi was dead, Qiao Gong was of course very happy and agreed, so he is here to persuade Da Qiao now.

"Daddy, don't talk about it..."

Shaking his head indifferently, Da Qiao, who was sitting on the bed, slowly got up and walked slowly to the window.

Through the delicate window lattice, looking at the northwest and shaking her head, the beauty said leisurely: "I will never believe that he is dead, in mid-November, Situ Zheng just came to the news that he was the general of Sanpin Pingbei, and then only seven days later, Situ Zheng came to the caravan again, he died?" Do you believe it? ”

It turned out that as early as the beginning of November, in the caravan from Hedong County to Lujiang County to purchase rice, they followed Zhang Yi's people, and they brought Zhang Yi's golden seal to Situ Zheng, and after getting the golden seal book, Situ Zheng was overjoyed at the same time, and immediately rushed to Qiao's house in person, and told Qiao Gong and Da Qiao the good news that Zhang Yi was sealed, and when he learned that Zhang Yi was really a big official, Qiao Gong said that he had a son-in-law who was a big official, and it didn't take three days for everyone to know that Wancheng was well-known.

But just when Qiao Gong was full of joy, Situ Zheng brought the news of Zhang Yi's death again, which made Qiao Gong's heart like a roller coaster, and instantly fell from the clouds to the bottom, so as soon as Sun Jian mentioned his kiss, he agreed without thinking about it.

Qiao Gong agreed, but as soon as he said it to his daughter, Da Qiao replied to him directly, if he wanted to marry him, she would rather die than marry, which made Qiao Gong extremely embarrassed.

PS: Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Yi is going to pick up Da Qiao.
