Zhang Hao followed the princess to the gazebo where they had met last time, and the princess walked towards the gazebo.

Zhang Hao naturally wanted to follow.

I didn't want the two female guards to turn around suddenly, block in front of the pavilion, stretch out their arms one left and one right, and stop Zhang Hao.

Among them, Hu Yinglan said coldly: "Please stop!"

Zhang Hao touched his nose helplessly, but he had to stop.

Anyway, last time, even Liu Jingming, the city lord, was standing outside, and it was nothing to stand by himself. Young Master Zhang could only comfort his wounded soul like this.

The princess sat down slowly, spoke softly, and her slightly magnetic hoarse voice spread like a clear wave, "Zhang Gongzi, I have two news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

Zhang Hao smiled very happily: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's really a coincidence, I also have two news here, one good news and one bad news." ”

Princess:...... I've never seen you so skinny~~~

The princess reluctantly put down her hands that were about to stroke the qin, a little helpless: "Okay, you say it first." ”

"Then did the princess hear the good news first, or did she ......?"

"I'll let you speak!"

You're so bad-tempered......

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, "The good news is that the Zhang family's monthly donation of the country's dark iron in the future will be above 90% purity." ”

The princess nodded, this was indeed good news, and the princess's eyes flashed with joy. But at the same time, there is also a little vigilance in my heart - good news, so bad news......

"The bad news is that under the influence of the progress of Xuantie smelting technology, the Xuantie coins, which have been popular among the people for thousands of years, have begun to depreciate.

If the depreciation continues, the currency will be in danger of collapsing, and a 'currency crisis' that has never been seen before in history is on the verge of erupting!"

"Currency crisis?" repeated the princess, seemingly not understanding.

Also, although the princess is a little strong, although she also understands some politics and military affairs, she is an eighteen-year-old girl after all, and she usually practices almost all of them, so how can she have time to care about and learn other things, especially concepts that are unfamiliar to this world.

Zhang Hao explained, but the explanation was not very clear. On the one hand, of course, it is clumsy, and on the other hand, it is not easy to explain, and it is an unfamiliar concept to the world, especially when it is linked to the currency crisis and the country's comprehensive national strength.

Zhang Hao wasted a lot of words, and the princess vaguely understood that this seemed to be just a currency issue related to ordinary people, but in fact it had affected the foundation of the country.

Ordinary people's lives are affected, and they will inevitably have complaints against the state. There is no doubt about it.

The depreciation of the currency and the reduction of living standards will further affect the people's enthusiasm for production.

Although the world of cultivation seems to be dominated by the strong, and everyone's usual eyes only focus on the strong, mining, smelting, planting, breeding, weaving, construction, and so on are all done by ordinary people.

Ordinary people are water, and master cultivators are boats, and they usually see boats but don't see water, but if the water dries, the boat will hit the rocks.

The princess thought for a while, and her face gradually became solemn, "I probably understand. But how?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. Zhang Hao smiled bitterly.

Are you kidding me~~~ The princess's face quickly became gloomy.

Through the veil and bead curtain, the two looked at each other - in fact, Zhang Hao couldn't see the princess's eyes at all, but he could feel the princess's state at this time.

In fact, Zhang Hao has many ways to solve it, but why should I say it!

Moreover, seeing the problem, there are already some demons, if you come up with a solution, hehe...... Such a wicked person is not reassuring!

After a while, the princess was moved by the 'innocent wry smile' on Young Master Zhang Hao's face, and finally snorted lightly, "I'll trust you for the time being." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess, for your trust. I don't know if the news from the princess's side is......"

"The good news is that no matter how much dark iron the Zhang family produces in the future, the country will want it. The state will settle with pills, spirit stones, etc.

There are also some exercises, all kinds of books, etc., which can also be valued if you need them.

The state will purchase dark iron at a discount of 20% of the lowest market price. Moreover, even if the price of Xuantie rises in the future, the country's procurement price will not increase.

The price of the pill is subject to the market price.

But the state will guarantee the quality of the pills. ”

Zhang Hao nodded, this is okay. It is enough to ensure the quality of the pill. You must know that the quality of the pills on the market is really strange.

The question of the quality of the pill is definitely a metaphysical problem~~~

Anyway, it's a seller's market, so it's very capricious.

The Zhang family's production of dark iron is now growing explosively, and it seems that it is impossible to digest it just by relying on ordinary families and commercial houses. The state's procurement is also a win-win situation.

The most important thing is that when the country relies heavily on the Zhang family's Xuantie, the social status of the Zhang family will naturally change.

And because of the depreciation of the Xuantie coin, the Zhang family can now reduce the cost of Xuantie to one-third of what it used to be.

In other words, even if the market price is sold at a 20% discount, and the market price has been reduced now, the Zhang family still has more than 100% profit.

And large-scale transactions with the state will also be protected by the state. Other families, etc., if they want to move the Zhang family, they should also be careful.

For the country, Zhangjia's Xuantie is a good strategic material because of its large quantity, high quality, lowest price, and convenient transportation.

On the eve of the upcoming Eastern Crusade, because of the appearance of the Zhang family, the country's military strength increased by several percent out of thin air.

Sufficient black iron means that there are enough weapons and magic weapons, and the warriors can arm themselves to the teeth.

However, Zhang Hao pricked up his ears, the good news is good, I don't know what the bad news is.

"The bad news is that I brought the matter of sailing to my father. But...... The father was very cold. ”

Zhang Hao was not surprised, as expected. "Your Majesty is against it, our Zhang family can try it ourselves. As long as there are craftsmen in shipbuilding. ”

"Shipbuilders, you're going to have to look for yourself. ”

Huh? Zhang Hao suddenly heard the sound outside the strings.

When she looked at the sea before, the princess said that she would try it, but now, she refused.

Zhang Hao frowned slightly, he faintly felt that this princess wouldn't be trained, right?

A princess cares so much about state affairs, well~~~ It's very likely......

In that case, I can't say anything about the solution to the currency crisis.

Zhang Hao thanked the princess for her help and left. After coming to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh.

Great voyage, great voyage, why is it so difficult!

Thinking about it, the people here still live on land, they see the crisis of the green sea of death and the endless ocean, and in their cognition, beyond the open sea is the land of chaos, the unknown world.

In contrast, the Crusade 'seems' to be won, but at least that's the known world!

Zhang Hao shook his head, beckoned a carriage, and headed towards Fang City.

It's just that Zhang Hao didn't know that after he left, in the pavilion, the princess angrily tore the bracket elephant in her hand!

She stood in the gazebo, looking out to the west.

Zhang Hao's words kept echoing in his mind, like an imprint, indelible:

On land, there is no room for victory in the land of perched clouds!

The country of Qixia, which is forced by geography, can only go to the sea.

However, she was just a princess, and in the eyes of her father and courtiers, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl who only knew how to practice.

In her father's reply, she saw the rebuke and regarded her advice as whimsical.

After standing for a long time, the princess gritted her teeth and wrote again. This time, it was written about the 'currency crisis'.

After the letter was sent, the princess left with the party and she would go to the next place to continue the 'fundraising'.
