Chapter 016: The new landlord
As soon as Hanshan arrived in the hall, he saw a young man in a yellow robe sitting there, unhurriedly bringing the wine glass to his mouth.
Xiao Gen looked around, there were no other guests in the room, and he was a little puzzled, so he asked casually in a whisper, "Landlord, is this guest a private one?"
"Xiao Gen! Don't be presumptuous! I haven't seen the second prince soon!" Han Shan closed the folding fan and scolded softly.
When Xiao Gen heard that it was the second prince, he was startled, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "The little one is abrupt, the little one is abrupt, I don't know that the second prince has arrived, and I ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince to forgive me." ”
"It's okay!" the second prince, Han Gu Ze, waved his hand generously, but his gaze stayed on Han Shan and never left.
It's not that he hasn't seen Hanshan before, but for some reason, he always feels that the person in front of him is very different from before, but he can't say what the difference is.
Han Gu Ze thought for a while, and found that Han Shan had a different bearing from usual, and his demeanor showed a kingly demeanor.
"Looking at the cold mountain of the dust building, I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Han Shan clenched his fists and said.
Han Gu Ze retracted his thoughts just now, raised his lips and smiled, and said slowly: "You are now the new owner of this Wangchen Tower, between you and me, you don't have to pursue those etiquette!"
"There is still the promotion of the second prince of Lao. "Hanshan's usurpation of the throne has actually been planned for a long time, and there is no lack of help from the second prince.
Because Han Jiang's appetite has been getting bigger and bigger recently, it has exceeded the range that the second prince can bear, so he simply doesn't do it, and the two hit it off.
Han Guze smiled at Han Mountain, everything was silent. "No matter how the palace helps, the lord of the cold building has his own ability. ”
"The second prince is now a noble prince, but he will be the prince in the future, and he will become the king of a country in the future.
Wangchenlou has always done things for the second prince, if you have any orders, let the next person come. I wonder what you are doing here?"
Han Guze poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Han Shan, looked at the people around him, and said, "I came this time, and there are indeed some important things......
Seeing that the second prince wanted to speak and stopped, Hanshan hurriedly said respectfully: "Please also ask the second prince to command, this is all your own people, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”
Now the imperial court and the two forces of the rivers and lakes do not interfere with each other, and the prince was in charge of the Yongtong Chamber of Commerce before, and this Wangchen Tower is the place under the second prince.
Over the years, heroes from all over the world have been brought together, and they have made a living by taking goods, selling news, and killing people, and the second prince will also subsidize some funds from time to time, and the master here has always been in charge of the Han family with the same surname as the royal family, and has always obeyed the orders of the second prince.
"First of all, I want you to find the whereabouts of the former crown prince Han Ruojun. Not to do it as much as you can, but as you must!"
Hanshan nodded firmly, "Certainly, definitely." ”
"And the second thing, I want you to help me find an iron mine!" Han Guze stared at the change in Han Shan's expression tightly and said slowly.
As soon as these words came out, Hanshan's face instantly became extremely ugly, this country is a big agricultural country, and the people are mainly farmers, so the military strength is not as strong as other countries. For so many years, if you want weapons, you have to buy them from other countries, which requires a lot of financial resources.
The royal families of all dynasties used grain to exchange weapons with other countries, but because the national strength was not as good as that of other countries, what they got was only the remaining scrap, and their combat effectiveness was far from enough. If it weren't for the fact that this dynasty has the famous twenty-four gods and generals of the imperial court, I am afraid that it would have been reduced to a subordinate territory of other countries long ago.
Han Guze is now about to be crowned the crown prince, but the whereabouts of the abolished prince are unknown, who knows if he will make a comeback. He was worried about Han Ruojun's situation and iron ore all day long, he was afraid that there would be a conflict with the border in the future, and he was powerless to stop it, he felt that exchanging food for weapons was not a long-term solution, and if he wanted to be strong, he could only rely on himself to smelt weapons.
In fact, there are many iron ores in this country, but they are not mined, mainly because most of the countries are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are too few capable people who can mine iron ore.
Iron ore is buried deep in the ground, in rocks, and requires a lot of manpower, but once it is mined, it will be abundant!
Wangchenlou has existed for so many years, and there are a lot of news and capable people in his hands, so Han Guze thinks that he will definitely be able to find iron ore, and then he will be able to smelt weapons, and he will no longer have to be controlled by others, afraid of the invasion of the border.
"Iron ore is the lifeblood of a country, only the king of a country can order mining, and Wangchenlou is afraid that its ability is limited......"
The implication of these words is that although Han Guze raises Wangchen Tower and is about to become the prince of a country, he is still not qualified to mine iron ore.
Han Gu Ze's eyes were slightly gloomy, "The lord of the cold building is modest, this palace believes that with the strength of Wangchen Tower, he will be able to find iron ore, and my father is now old, and he has handed over some government affairs to this palace to deal with." ”
Han Shan groaned slightly, he didn't expect the emperor to hand over the government affairs to the second prince now, and said slowly after a while: "Since this is the case, then Wangchenlou will definitely go all out to find iron ore for you, but I am afraid that this will require a lot of manpower and time, manpower and financial resources......"
"As long as you find iron ore, these problems are not a problem, the landlord can rest assured, if you can find iron ore for this palace, this palace will definitely not treat you badly. ”
Han Guze said and gestured to the entourage at the door. "Zhao Meng!"
Zhao Meng walked in, carrying two boxes of gold.
"These gold landlords take it first, it will be regarded as the fortunate money given to you by this palace, and when you find the iron ore, this palace will have a heavy reward in the future!" Han Gu Ze said proudly.
Hanshan glanced at the gold, and then hugged his fists and bowed: "Then the grass people are respectful and obedient, but the iron ore cannot be found in a short time, please wait patiently." ”
"Then the palace is waiting for the good news of the lord of the cold building!" said he gently touched the cup of the cold mountain, and drank the wine in the cup.
Walking out of Wangchen Tower, Zhao Meng was very dissatisfied: "Your Highness, this cold mountain must know the whereabouts of the iron mine, but he deliberately didn't say it, his heart can be punished!"
"These people are stupid, and what they are seeking is just some money, and this palace is not short of these things, what is lacking is iron ore, if he can really find iron ore for this palace, this palace is naturally willing to wait, and after the matter is completed, is this palace still afraid that there is no way to punish them?" Han Gu Ze changed his gentleness in Wangchen Tower, and said coldly.
Zhao Meng nodded: "It's still thoughtful ...... the second prince."
"Is there still no news from the abolished prince?" asked Han Gu Ze.
Zhao Meng nodded and replied: "There is still no news, as if it disappeared suddenly, our people have been looking for it in the valley where he disappeared, and I haven't seen a single shadow, I estimate that most of it is ......"
