Chapter 24 Walk the talk
The dull knock on the door echoed in the quiet dawn .......
Zhang Hao groaned helplessly, "What are you doing, you just closed your eyes, and you won't let me sleep." β
Zhang Han's voice floated: "Little brother, hurry up, the princess is coming over today, dress up well, maybe you can be the emperor's son-in-law." β
Zhang Hao turned over and continued to sleep on his stomach. "What's wrong with the princess, it's not uncommon. β
Princess, for souls from other worlds, the attraction is not great.
Generally speaking, if you marry a princess, you have to be careful, you can't scold, you can't mess with you, you can't find a concubine, maybe you have to help the princess find a concubine! Who knows that she is the princess's first benefactor~~~
For these aunts and grandmothers, Zhang Hao said: We must stay away.
You can't give up an entire forest for a crooked neck tree.
Zhang Han outside the door was stunned, "Hey, little brother, what about the princess, it is said that she is the most beautiful princess in the west of the Fertile Land Continent, it is said that her beauty, wisdom, and cultivation have amazed the royal families of all countries, and I don't know how many people are desperate to take a look at the princess." β
"It's not rare, it's not rare, it's not rare! If you disturb my sleep again, I'll be anxious with you!"
Zhang Han: ......
Zhang Han left, and Young Master Zhang Hao was ready to continue to sleep with his head covered.
However, after only two or three minutes, there was a heavy and powerful footsteps.
There was a thud, and the door was kicked open.
"Get up!"
"Oops...... Daddy, I'm not getting dressed. Zhang Hao hurriedly put clothes on himself, looked at Zhang Shengde's blackened face, and couldn't help but find a topic, "Dad, you see that other people's families have maids, why don't we have them in our family?"
"If you want a maid, don't even think about it! If you don't cultivate until you build a foundation, give me honest practice!"
Zhang Hao got dressed, got on his shoes, and came to Zhang Shengde: "Dad, I've packed up." β
"Let's go, I'll discuss something with you. β
While walking, Zhang Shengde told the story.
It is said that he was going to load 800 tons of Xuantie into a truck and transport it to the county seat today, but now Feng Dongyuan has ordered that the princess is coming, and he wants the Zhang family not to go anywhere.
But the problem is that the Zhang family has already made an appointment with Zheng Changqiu, Mu Mingchen, Ji Wei, Liu Xian, Zhu Yuantang, Mei Qianyun, etc., and will go to the county town today and make a deal.
"Dad, then Feng Dongyuan left after passing the word, right?"
"Yes. β
In other words, Feng Dongyuan didn't hear what Dad asked Feng Dongyuan to pass on. β
"I didn't say anything?"
"No, Dad said it, but Feng Dongyuan didn't hear it. Dad said, "We have made an appointment with the rest of the family, and we will go to the county today." β
Zhang Shengde finally reacted and smiled: "Yes, I said it, but Feng Dongyuan didn't hear it, he walked too fast." Ha ......"
But after finishing speaking, Zhang Shengde was still a little cautious: "We really don't wait for the princess?"
"Dad, why did the princess come to our house? Obviously, it was Xuantie's reason! That is to say, in this regard, the initiative is ours. Therefore, we must take the initiative.
Besides, we have already made an appointment with someone else.
There is a way that 'says what we say,' and since we have said it, we should do our best to do it. If the Zhang family wants to rise, it starts with trustworthiness. β
"But to do so would anger the princess, wouldn't it?"
"I don't think so, at least not on the surface.
The princess herself may have something to do with the crusade, and perhaps she needs to show a little generosity, so the more disobedient we are, the more generous the princess will be.
Moreover, I am now a registered disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect!"
Zhang Shengde nodded: "Not bad." However, this matter has to be reported to Liu Jingming City Lord alone.
Let's go. β
As soon as Chaoyang appeared, the Zhang family's team set off.
The 113 wagons, carrying a total of 300 tons of black iron, were deeply rutted in the ground, and the horses pulling the carriages were constantly snorting, as if they were a little emotionalβtoo heavy.
The guards of the Zhang family kept feeding the horses with some low-grade pills to comfort these high-headed horses.
Zhang Hao was curious, and Zhang Han explained: "This is called 'Grass Spirit Pill', and it is not in the product. It is specially used to feed horses, or to feed low-level pets, spirit animals, etc.
It is boiled with ordinary spiritual rice, low-grade spiritual grass, etc., with spiritual springs, and then kneaded into pills after cooling. The groom at home can make it.
The herb elixir can replenish the horse's physical strength and also soothe their emotions. β
Zhang Hao nodded.
Under the appeasement of Cao Lingdan, these horses carried heavy goods and entered the county town and came to the fang market. At this time, it was already two o'clock (7:30), and many people gathered in front of Zhang's shop.
Far away, Zhang Hao heard Zheng Changqiu's loud voice: "How about it, I said that the Zhang family will definitely come!"
Then I saw Zheng Changqiu's particularly fat figure squeezing out of the crowd and rushing to the side of the carriage: "Zhang Hao, secretly tell Uncle Zheng how much dark iron you have prepared this time?"
"It's not much, it's just a few hundred tons. Zhang Hao said casually.
Zheng Changqiu rolled his eyes: "Then I guess it'...... 200 tons?"
Zhang Hao smiled and stopped talking.
Zheng Changqiu kept talking, "Virtuous nephew, I heard that the princess is going to go to you." Why did you come to the county?"
"Didn't you make an appointment before, and we met at noon today. As for the princess's side, of course we don't dare to slack off, and my father will go to the City Lord's Mansion to explain it in person later.
But Uncle Zheng, the whereabouts of this princess should be kept secret, why are you ......?"
"Haha, I'll look at the dark iron first. β
Zhang Hao looked at Zheng Changqiu's back and pouted. But the Zhang family's trustworthy behavior has invisibly won everyone's recognition.
Pieces of blackiron were carried by the guards to the hall, and the stone slabs on the ground cracked under the heavy blackiron. Three hundred tons of dark iron were built into a city wall, which made Zheng Changqiu and the others a little dumbfounded.
It's not just the quantity that's dumbfounded, it's the quality.
This time, the lowest purity of the dark iron is 86% and the highest purity is 95%. 93% of them are pure, and as much as half.
"Goo Dong......" Zheng Changqiu and the others swallowed a mouthful of saliva, numb eggs...... I can't afford it!
Even Liu Xian, who has a royal background and Yunying Commercial Bank, was stunned. "93% purity, the market price is at least 40 pounds of medium-grade spirit stones. A ton requires at least 800 high-grade spirit stones!
Lao Zhang, you guys are going to rob it!
The spirit stones I brought this time are not enough to buy one. β
Zhang Shengde smiled faintly, "I'm going to meet the city lord first, and I'll return as soon as possible." Let's take a look. β
Waiting for Zhang Shengde to leave, Ji Wei looked at Zhang Hao: "Virtuous nephew, first of all, congratulations to the Zhang family for breaking through the iron smelting technology again." These blacks are pleasing to look at. β
"Prizes have been awarded. Zhang Hao smiled very happily.
Zhang Hao was happy, not only because he was praised by everyone, but also because he was a registered disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect, so he dared to "show his wealth", and the Zhang family could develop savagely.
The identity of a registered disciple and the help provided to Zhang Hao and the Zhang family can be said to be immeasurable.
But he said that the season was different, and after the praise, he immediately threw out a question, "Nephew, these dark irons are very good, but they are too expensive, we can't even afford a piece."
You say, what are we going to do?"
