Since visiting Xia Jing's iron workshop in the north of the city, King Qian has been struggling with one thing in the past few days, that is, whether to move this broken yamen to the north of the city.

On this day, he couldn't hold it back, so he asked Mr. Zhang, "When the princess wanted to move the yamen to the north of the city, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Mr. Zhang reminded: "Don't forget the background of the princess when she said this, she was forced by several major families to have no choice, so she decided to move the yamen to the north of the city, so as to drive the popularity of the north of the city. ”

King Qian's face was embarrassed, "It is precisely because of this that this king is entangled, but this relocation of the government requires a sum of silver, which is a burden for Lingnan who is now in ruins." ”

"The relocation of the yamen to the north of the city can drive the economy of the north of the city, and the tax can be increased for the palace, which will have more advantages than disadvantages in the long run.

Mr. Zhang was really speechless for the prince's meat-like expression.

King Qian's teeth, as a person in charge of a place, the local financial expenditure is really a headache, "This expenditure is paid by the palace, and the king is worried that all aspects of the military and political affairs in Lingnan will use money, and the money of the palace is not enough for various expenses, so I want to save a little is a little." ”

Mr. Zhang stroked his beard, thought for a while, and said, "If the prince is reluctant to take money from the treasury, Weichen has a way to solve it." ”

"What's the solution? Don't tell this king whose house to copy? ”

When Mr. Zhang heard this, he wanted to roll his eyes, but he really underestimated him.

"Lord Wang, copying the house is not a long-term solution after all, and Weichen never hopes to get rich by copying the house."

"Oh." King Qian looked at him in surprise and asked with a little expectation, "Sir's good plan may wish to tell this king in detail." ”

Mr. Zhang coughed lightly, "Cough, well, Weichen also got a revelation from the princess." ”

"The princess bought all the wasteland in the north of the city, and Weichen asked her at that time, what is the use of buying so much depreciated land?" Mr. Zhang looked at King Qian, "Guess what the princess said?" ”

King Qian casually asked, "What do you say?" ”

"The princess said that when the north of the city is prosperous, the land over there can be auctioned for a sky-high price."

King Qian was a little confused by his rhythm, "Is there anything related to the sky-high price in the north of the city and the relocation of the king's mansion?" ”

Mr. Zhang said softly: "Draw inferences, the princess's land can be auctioned, then our land can also be auctioned." ”

King Qian: "."

Mr. Zhang saw that King Qian still didn't know why, this time he didn't hang people's appetite again, so he made a fool of himself, "Since we want to move the yamen to the north of the city, then now the original site of the yamen will be abandoned. ”

"I believe that the price of a house with a very wide area on Zhengjie will not be too low, and maybe the silver auctioned will be more than enough for the construction of the government in the north of the city. At that time, won't the prince have to allocate funds from the treasury? ”

"Smack!"

King Qian slapped his palm on his forehead, and suddenly said, "Why didn't this king think of this stubble?" ”

"Mr. has a strategy, and it really deserves its reputation, or you have an idea."

Mr. Zhang didn't dare to take credit, "The prince has won the award, and Weichen is just picking up people's teeth." ”

"No matter whose idea it is, since we have decided to move the government office this time, then we will try to auction the old site, and then communicate with the buyer, the old government site can be transferred, but we will not move until the new yamen is built."

Mr. Zhang complimented: "If the prince is thoughtful, then do what the prince says." ”

Solving a trouble, King Qian was in an unprecedentedly good mood at this time, he laughed: "Okay, the auction will be arranged by you, the princess of Chengbei didn't leave a piece of land for the yamen, then use it first, you go and recruit some migrant workers to choose an auspicious day to start work." ”

When the matter was settled, everything was in full swing.

The ancient talent market in Fucheng is just a vacant land in the city.

Every morning in the open space, men come here one after another to find work, and they stand here to be selected by the employer or to recommend themselves to the employer.

But on the whole, there are fewer people to work, more monks and less porridge, and some people who have no skills and rely on brute force often can't find work from morning to afternoon.

This situation has been alleviated in recent times, that is, a wide workshop has been built in the north of the city, and many people here have worked there for a period of time, earning some money, temporarily alleviating the family's plight.

Therefore, there are many people in the clearing who have been waiting for a long time, and even so, their faces are not in a hurry.

In the afternoon of this day, the people who stayed here thought that today was another empty day and there was nothing to gain, but they did not expect that a steward in a brocade robe came in the middle of the afternoon.

Standing in the middle of the clearing, he announced that the new yamen in the north of the city would require labor, but all masons, carpenters, and strong men who could be vacant could sign up.

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Chengbei only recruited people to build a workshop some time ago, what does it mean to make a new yamen here?

Could it be that the government is going to move to the north of the city, and why is the barren and chaotic north of the city favored by King Qian?

Such a deserted place can be favored by the nobles of Tianhuang, is it better feng shui or feng shui?

As soon as this news came out, the merchants with a keen sense of smell seemed to smell the smell of copper coins, and after the construction of the Xinfu Ya began, they quickly ran to the Yamen to find the lord Bo to buy the wasteland in the north of the city.

When Lord Bo heard the purpose of these people's coming, he couldn't help but shake his head, "The wasteland in the north of the city has long been bought, and you are too late. ”

Merchants were shocked, "Who is ahead of us?" Now that you have bought all the wasteland in the north of the city, you don't want others to drink the soup with you! It just doesn't make sense! ”

The merchants complained, and some of them asked unwillingly: "Who is this person?" He bought the north of the city, so much land can't be used up by one person, can you help us ask him about the transfer of land? ”

Lord Bo accepted the entrustment of the person, so he said with a smile: "She left a message, there is no intention of transferring for the time being, and she will notify us when she wants to transfer, and I will inform you then, do you think?" ”

What if it's not good?

They didn't even know who the person who bought the land was, so they could only hope that he would inform them in time.

Besides, the men in the open space listened to the steward's words, so they rushed to line up to sign up, for fear that they would not be recruited if the quota was full.

If you can't sign up, you will lose a lot of money. Once the registration is successful, then there will be a regular job in the next few months, and at least the living allowance of the whole family can be earned back this year.

This steward is Zeng Yan, the steward of the palace.

Zeng Yan and the steward who helped with the registration were surrounded by men.

Especially on a hot afternoon, the men who have been suffering outside for a day, their clothes are soaked and dried with sweat, dry and wet, and you can imagine how strong the smell of sweat is.

Zeng Yan's face changed when he was smoked, and shouted loudly, let everyone line up and don't crowd, don't worry, as long as you have the strength and strength, you will definitely want it.

But everyone was lost in their minds by the fixed job, no matter what he was shouting about, they were worried that all they cared about was this job.

Zeng Yan was almost disgusted by the smell of sweat!

Xia Jing has been ignoring things outside the window recently, and only cares about steel smelting technology.

If pig iron wants to be smelted into steel, the temperature in the furnace must reach at least 1,700 to 2,000 degrees, and to achieve such a high temperature, traditional firewood burning will definitely not be able to reach it.

In order to smelt good steel, she spared no human and financial resources to send people to the Nanling Mountains to find coal mines, not to mention that she really found a place, to be precise, it should be an area.

The coal mines in this area have an amazing amount of underground storage, and if they are exclusively supplied to Lingnan, the underground coal can be burned for dozens or hundreds of years.

After several days of experimentation, she was finally able to smelt the steel she was satisfied with.

When this matter is over, Xia Jing will have the energy to pay attention to the surrounding things.

No, it was also a coincidence, she had rare leisure time on this day, she came to the workshop again, and as soon as she got out of the carriage, she found the construction site in the distance.

After asking, Ye Fei told her: "Princess, the prince has decided to relocate the mansion, and the construction site that is under construction now is the construction site of the new mansion." ”

Xia Jing was stunned, "When did the prince decide, why didn't I know?" ”

"Just a few days ago." Ye Fei scratched his nose, it was inconvenient for him to answer the questions in the back, and they were less involved in the affairs of the master and his wife as subordinates.

Xia Jing nodded and got into the carriage in silence.

When the carriage returned to the palace, when passing through the garden, he met King Qian, who was exercising in the garden before the sun set, on the boulevard.

She stopped as she passed him.

King Qian was sweating profusely, and when he noticed someone passing by, he turned his head to look over while wiping his sweat.

Unexpectedly, it was Xia Jing, he was slightly stunned.

Just for a moment, Xia Jing opened her mouth and asked, "Are you willing to give up the silver?" ”

"Huh?"

King Qian was asked by the words without a head or tail, and the second monk was confused.

Xia Jing saw that he was stunned, so she explained, "I asked you to build a new mansion, how can you be willing to spend money?" ”

Hearing this, King Qian felt distressed in his heart, but his face was very arrogant, and he snorted coldly, "What does the princess mean by this?" Is this the king such a stingy man in your mind? You can't help but underestimate your husband and me! ”

Xia Jing is not used to him, she rolled her eyes in front of him, and wanted to take advantage of him, emphasizing that they are husband and wife? But she didn't have amnesia!

King Qian looked at her expression and asked with a smile, "Why, you don't believe in this king?" ”

Of course, Xia Jing didn't believe him, and looked at him suspiciously, "Have you recently gained a new source of wealth or discovered a new way of wealth?" Otherwise, with your iron rooster attributes, it is really impossible to be willing to spend a lot of money to build a new yamen. ”

When King Qian heard this, he was obviously angry and wanted to burst into foul language, and the dog looked down on people!

He snorted coldly: "You haven't heard of Shibei three days to be impressed!" Don't always look at this king with old eyes! ”

"Oh."

Xia Jing replied lightly, knowing that he didn't want to get an answer here, but it didn't matter, she didn't have to know about it, the reason why she asked today was just to ask casually with curiosity in her heart.

King Qian looked at her and walked past him with a sigh, and hurriedly stopped her: "The princess came back early today, is the matter over?" ”

"Ah, yes, you're in trouble?" Xia Jing leaned her hands on her back, a little ignorant of him.

"This king just wants to ask, have you been busy in the iron workshop recently, have you figured out anything good?"

Yo ho!

This old gentleman has a very sensitive sense of smell!

Xia Jing nodded, without any idea of wanting to hide, "You guessed right, it was to figure out a little good thing, harder than iron, and steel with better flexibility." ”

"Steel?"

"It's steel!"

"Shhh King Qian gasped and confirmed incredibly: "Is it the legendary steel as hard as meteoric iron?" ”

Xia Jing didn't know what the hell was meteoric iron, so she thought about it and said, "It's almost, the knife forged from this steel is almost the same as sharpening iron like clay." ”

Hearing this, King Qian's breathing became a little heavier.

Xia Jing was very satisfied with the shocking effect, she slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "If you want to use steel in the prince's war workshop, you can order it from me, and I will definitely give you a discount for the family, and you will come first, and others will have to wait last if they want to order." ”

King Qian gritted his teeth and pointed at her, the little woman is mercenary, and she doesn't talk about the love between husband and wife at all, which is really unkind.

The point is that he knows that she is calculating him, and he has no way to deal with her.

Whoever asks others to take one step and think ten steps, each step is stronger than him, and if he wants to become stronger, he must follow her steps, there is no choice.

Falling into her calculations, King Qian was depressed.

In the past, he disliked the deferential woman like a wooden beauty, and he was bored.

Now there is a thorn in the house, but he can't pick it out and keeps breaking it, as long as he doesn't come a little, she will stab you, make you hurt and happy.

"If you want to do business, you have to buy the seller's goods first, right?"

Xia Jing smiled and nodded, "You're right, the steel smelted in the iron workshop is always welcome for you to inspect the goods." ”

"Then we will go to your workshop tomorrow, you will accompany you, and then we will invite this king to have a meal by the way."

Xia Jing said dissatisfiedly: "To do business with you, I have to sacrifice my rest time, accompany you to go, chat with you, and eat with you!" ”

When King Qian heard this, he smiled and said very approvingly: "You are a good companion, and this king will wait for you to accompany you all the way tomorrow." ”

It is best to be accompanied by rolling sheets at night as well.

Ha ha!

Some things often don't go as planned, and the next day the plan can't catch up with the change!

King Qian and Xia Jing made an appointment to go out together, but before they left the mansion, they met the soldiers who entered the mansion to deliver the letter.

After asking, I learned that the soldiers were messengers under Li Chengmu.

Usually in the team is night and night, but today I came to deliver letters.

From the mouth of the messenger, Xia Jing and the others knew that Li Chengmu would come back with the team today.

Xia Jing checked the fire paint on the envelope in front of King Qian, and saw that there was no trace of it being opened, so she opened the letter again.

In the letter, Li Chengmu said a few things, and he finished reading them at a glance and ten lines.

King Qian couldn't wait to ask, "What does Xiao Wu say in the letter?" But what is important to report to the king? ”

Xia Jing didn't bother to answer him one by one, so she handed him the letter directly.

Xiao Wu reminded Xia Jing not to go out today in the letter, and instructed her subordinates to clean out the warehouse in her yard.

"Little Five, what does this mean?" King Qian flipped the letter dissatisfiedly, "Let you clear out the warehouse, he brought you a gift when he came back from wandering out?" Since you have brought gifts, why don't you say that you should let this king clear out of the treasury as well? How many gifts did he have for you? ”

Xia Jing could probably guess in her heart that it should be that this time the bandits were well won, and the reason why all the loot was given to her was of course because her five thousand recruits had always been raised by her.

Regarding King Qian's sour words, she said: "Since you are jealous, then you will equip each of Xiao Wu's personal soldiers with a set of equipment?" ”

A set of equipment, the armor alone is more than twenty taels, plus other ordnance, a set of almost thirty taels or so a set.

The whole army of 5,000 people, how much is that?

"The princess is so ruthless, you want to cut the flesh of this king!"
