When Zhang Hao saw Wu Fanghai, before he could say hello, Wu Fanghai laughed: "Xiao Hao, it's good, I went to the Refining Guild to see, I didn't expect you to come up with such a wonderful idea." ”

Zhang Hao smiled faintly: "I've seen my father-in-law." The idea of the profiles and semi-finished products was the one that our family craftsmen came up with. I'm just in charge of bringing those ideas to life. ”

"But everybody said it was your idea. Come and let me see, I haven't seen you for a while, and the foundation has been laid. ”

Zhang Hao came to the front of Wu Fanghai, suddenly stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, we have met, where is the gift?"

Wu Fanghai's face suddenly darkened, and he really didn't prepare a gift~

Zhang Shengde immediately 'reprimanded': "Xiaohao, how can there be such a thing as you." Come and sit down. ”

Zhang Shengde said this, Wu Fanghai was even more embarrassed. After thinking about it, he took out a box from the storage ring, "This is a jade pendant I got by chance, and it is said to have the ability to turn evil into good fortune."

However, I have been studying for a long time, but I still still have not figured out what it does. ”

Zhang Hao took it with both hands, there is a way that 'the elder does not dare to resign', Zhang Hao opened the box, but saw a piece of about an inch, green and transparent ring, hanging thousands of knots.

There was a faint aura flowing inside the jade pendant. There are also four words on the jade pendant: a gentleman is like a jade.

"Good jade pendant. Thank you, Father-in-law. "Although I don't know what the ability of this jade pendant is, just this appearance is extraordinary.

It's just that although the red thousand knots are beautiful, they are not suitable for hanging on Zhang Hao, because Zhang Hao usually only wears casual clothes instead of fancy clothes.

Zhang Hao observed for a while, untied the Qianqian knot, and only hung the jade pendant on his waist.

Wu Fanghai nodded: "Sure enough, it's still suitable for you." ”

"Thank you, Father. By the way, father-in-law, aren't you in the land of Jinyang?"

"This one...... It's a long story. ”

"That's a long story short. ”

Wu Fanghai: ...... Little mouse, you're skinned!

Zhang Shengde had a dark face: "Xiao Hao, how can you talk to the elders!"

Young Master Zhang immediately apologized, and then looked at Wu Fanghai with a blank eye.

"Alright, alright. Wu Fanghai laughed, "I really like Xiao Hao." Xiao Hao, sit on my side. ”

Zhang Hao sat down beside Wu Fanghai, and Wu Fanghai said simply, but Zhang Hao's face gradually became solemn.

Zhang Hao thought that the situation would be very complicated, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated, and it was beyond imagination. Now the war situation has been involved in more than 9 countries, and it is simply a mini-world war.

And in such a war-torn environment, the country of Qixia can decisively withdraw, it should be said that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

But under such circumstances, what is Wu Fanghai doing here?

Zhang Hao was puzzled, "Father-in-law, now that the situation is so complicated, what can our Zhang family do?"

Wu Fanghai thought for a moment before slowly saying: "At present, in China, Ninghe County has the highest output of dark iron, and the Zhang family is the most.

Yesterday, His Majesty also discussed with us once, thinking that it might be possible to build Ninghe County into a production base for magic weapons, magic weapons, and war magic weapons.

And because my Zhang family is relatively close, let me come over and talk. ”

Zhang Hao was immediately excited: "This is a good thing. I'm not sure how other families are, but the Zhang family is absolutely welcome. ”

Wu Fanghai was a little stunned, he agreed so quickly, and he also prepared a lot of words and big truths. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's just ...... You also know that the treasury is really empty now, so I would like to ask if the Zhang family can accept other forms of payment. ”

I knew it wasn't good for you to show up all of a sudden. No, wait...... The state has no money to pay, and it is a good thing to let itself set conditions, right?

Zhang Hao's head became active in an instant.

After looking at his father Zhang Shengde, Zhang Hao turned his head to Wu Fanghai and said, "Father-in-law, this ...... It's really embarrassing for us......"

Wu Fanghai showed a little wry smile on his face, and the heartiness just now was all pretended. Speaking of which, Ouyang Si should have come over, but Ouyang Si pushed Wu Fanghai over.

When Zhang Hao saw Wu Fanghai's expression, he immediately said a little "impatiently": "Father-in-law, it was already very difficult for us to donate 5,000 tons of Xuan Tie before, and the country still wanted us to continue to pay. That's a bit too much, isn't it?

Otherwise, the west of Ninghe County will be assigned to us as a fief, the hereditary kind. ”

Zhang Hao's words were very casual, and there was a taste of 'anger'. But in fact, this is Zhang Hao's attempt, and he is testing where the country's bottom line is.

And relying on his youth, Zhang Hao can talk nonsense, in contrast, Zhang Shengde is inconvenient to say these things.

Wu Fanghai actually thought about it seriously and didn't reply immediately.

When Zhang Hao saw it, he suddenly understood in his heart: there is a play!

After a while, Wu Fanghai finally spoke: "Xiao Hao, half of Ninghe County is too big. At most, Changshan Town can only be sealed to the Zhang family. ”

Zhang Hao immediately jumped to his feet: "Father-in-law, the country wants to build us here into a base of Xuantie, so for a long time in the future, the amount of Xuantie that the country needs is not a small amount, right?"

“...... Yes. ”

"Father-in-law, we are willing to support the development of the country. But we also have to survive. Actually, we're having a hard time right now.

The 5,000 tons of black iron that support the country are still in production, but our family is already a little stretched. Especially now that the price of the pill is soaring, we are also embarrassed. ”

Wu Fanghai had nothing to say for a while. It's a dilemma.

The country is also in difficulty now, but the wealth of the Zhang family did not fall from the sky.

It's really complicated and tricky.

Wu Fanghai couldn't, so he had to ask again: "What do you want from the Zhang family, I'll go back and communicate with Your Majesty." ”

"Fiefdoms are part of it. In addition, we can supply the black iron to the country at cost price in the future, but only for the black iron with a purity of less than 95%.

And the state must pay for spirit stones, charcoal, bamboo charcoal, ores, pills, etc.

In addition, we require tax incentives.

Since the state can't come up with enough money at the moment, how about compensating with future tax revenues?"

Zhang Hao's request was more reasonable, and Wu Fanghai nodded: "Then I'll go back and discuss it with Your Majesty." ”

"Then it's a trouble for the father-in-law. By the way, father-in-law, I have always wanted to go to the battlefield and see the actual situation on the battlefield. ”

"Oh...... Why? The battlefield is very dangerous, even if it is the infancy, I dare not say that I will definitely survive. ”

"Father, we're preparing to build weapons of war, and we want to create some new ones. But if I don't know anything about the battlefield, I'm doing it behind closed doors.

And the easiest way is to go to the battlefield and take a look. ”

Wu Fanghai frowned slightly, he was thinking. Now that the country of Qixia has withdrawn from the battlefield, it is not easy to arrange Zhang Hao's visit.

Because, the current battlefield is in the country of Jinyang!

Just as he was hesitating, he heard laughter outside, "The young master of the prince of Jinyang, Wei Zirong, came to visit and begged Zhang Jiazhu to see him." ”

Zhang Hao glanced up at Wu Fanghai, who frowned.

Zhang Shengde strode out: "I'll take a look." ”

I'm going to go out and greet myself. Zhang Hao hurriedly followed and walked out, leaving only Wu Fanghai.

Wu Fanghai sat not tasted, sighed and got up.
