The night is quiet, and the insects chirp one after another form a quiet and elegant serenade, and the occasional crisp birdsong injects soul into the serenade, making the night vivid and lively.

However, Zhang Hao's heart at this time was in his throat!

Zhang Hao's spirit was tense to the extreme, but his face showed a little expectation: a teenager who desperately wanted to behave in front of his father.

Next to him, Zhang Han, who was meditating and practicing, slowly opened his eyes and listened.

Zhang Shengde said slowly: "During the day, in addition to fighting back against the Qian family, you also said that you want to establish the status of our family, and you also said that you want to organize everyone, can you talk about this again?"

It turned out to be this~~~

Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

"Dad, the situation at that time forced me to make a decision as soon as possible. The fundamental reason why everyone can be instigated by the Qian family is interests.

As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. In that case, it doesn't make sense to reason with everyone, and only by giving everyone tangible benefits can we calm everyone's anger. ”

Zhang Shengde nodded, looking at Zhang Hao's gaze, which became brighter.

Zhang Hao continued: "At that time, we had two choices. One is to restore the original price, but that will stain the family, lose credibility, and affect our plans, and it will also allow the Qian family to succeed, isolating us and going to the opposite side of everyone.

Then we can only choose the second option, which is to give our outdated technology to everyone. It just so happens that he can also draw a salary from the bottom of the Qian family.

But we are not fish on the chopping block, slaughtered and not fought back. If you get our technology, you have to pay something. ”

"They didn't pay anything!" Zhang Han wondered.

"No, they paid. Zhang Shengde spoke, "What they pay is trust and respect." Moreover, they helped us expel the Qian family and made the Qian family lose their foothold!"

After a pause, Zhang Shengde looked at Zhang Hao again: "But there is another point, didn't you say that you want to organize everyone? But on the trading table, you didn't say this." ”

"Father, we can't say this, wait for them to say it, or wait for them to ask us.

Now that they have new technology, it's time for confidence to swell.

But I'm sure that soon people will come to us. ”

"Oh, tell me?"

"During the day, many people have seen the smelting method of dark iron. Everyone has a clear understanding of the cost price of dark iron, so the quality of dark iron has improved, but the price is only difficult to increase.

Also, in the past, some families and business houses that wanted to meddle in the smelting of black iron, but did not know the smelting method, are probably already busy.

Most of these families and trading houses have deep pockets, and they will further drive down the price of Xuaniron.

I think that in half a month at most, interesting changes will occur in the Xuantie market.

The quality of the iron will increase, but the price will not increase much, and the market will be disrupted because of the large number of new trading houses.

At that time, there will be calls for the stability and unity of the market.

That's when people think of us. ”

Zhang Shengde thought for a while before nodding. "Not bad. And what about the technology that we have revealed, but it can forge 93% pure black iron. If you don't care about the cost, you may be able to forge 95% purity. ”

"Isn't that good!" Zhang Hao had smug in his eyes, "In ten days, we will be able to directly sell more than 90% pure Xuantie." 90% purity is more profitable and allows the family to reach a peak in the shortest possible time. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Hao's face became slightly serious: "Dad, the Eastern Crusade may start at any time, and if the Eastern Crusade fails, the consequences are unpredictable."

Therefore, I am afraid that there is not much time left for the family.

We must bring the family to a new level in the shortest possible time.

Western countries lack medicine. But if we can provide a large amount of high-purity dark iron for the country and even the Western countries, then we can guarantee the victory of the Eastern Crusade to the greatest extent.

It can also guarantee the status of the family.

If we can provide a large number of high-quality, low-price dark iron for Western countries, we will be the guests of honor of all countries!"

"But it could also be devastating!" Zhang added coolly.

Zhang Hao nodded: "So, before that, we must unite the vast number of peers and form an alliance of interests that advances and retreats together."

If you can, you have to bring together the forces behind Zheng Changqiu, Liu Xian, Mei Qianyun, etc. that you saw during the day.

We produce dark iron, and they produce magic weapons. Everyone forms a community of interests!"

Zhang Shengde slowly picked up the teacup and sipped it little by little, feeling something.

............

The night was already dark, but the city lord's mansion of Ninghe County was very lively.

City Lord Liu Jingming was sitting next to him, in front of him was a blacksmith temporarily transferred from another department, and Zhu Yuantang, who had met with Zhang Hao and others during the day, was directing everyone to be busy.

The sonorous sound of forging has lasted for most of the night, but no one has rested.

On Liu Jingming's left-hand side, there are two pieces of dark iron purchased from the Zhang family, which have been finely polished, reflecting the surrounding light and shadow, which is beautiful.

On Liu Jingming's right hand, there were more than a dozen pieces of iron the size of a palm, which had just been forged. He is also playing with a piece of dark iron in his hand, and the purity of this black iron piece is as high as 94%.

It's just that Liu Jingming's heart is obviously not here, and he is stunned when he looks at the roof.

Zhu Yuantang's eyes drifted cautiously over Liu Jingming. This middle-aged, majestic and domineering city lord has already reached the early stage of the Yuan Infant Stage, but it has not been disclosed to the public.

"Zhu Yuantang!" Liu Jingming suddenly spoke.

"Here!" Zhu Yuantang immediately straightened up, as firm as he had been back then.

That year, Liu Jingming was still a general, and Zhu Yuantang was a personal soldier, and they went through ups and downs together.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuantang's qualifications are limited, and his cultivation is only in the early stage of the Jindan period, and his lifespan is not much, while Liu Jingming has reached the early stage of the Yuan Infant and has a long life.

Liu Jingming said softly: "Do you think it's better for us to forge the dark iron ourselves, or to buy it from the Zhang family?"

Zhu Yuantang said without hesitation: "I don't approve of forging dark iron by myself, but I don't necessarily buy it from the Zhang family." ”

Liu Jingming became interested: "Oh...... Tell me about it?"

"If we forge ourselves, we have to increase the number of departments, we have to have management, there are all kinds of craftsmen, we have to purchase all kinds of goods, etc., and we can't guarantee the quality.

In contrast, it is better to buy from the market and shop around.

I believe that no one dares to play tricks on the city lord!"

"Not bad. I'll take care of it. ”

"Yes. Zhu Yuantang responded.

"Also, tomorrow morning, on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, you will go to Cuizhu Fengzi to inquire about the situation and determine the truth of the rumors. ”
