Iron Dynasty

His Royal Highness, I bought all the coal briquettes and iron ore on the market in Qingzhou. The next batch of Wang's family said it will take some time.

The last truck of briquettes purchased arrived at the equipment department, and Chen Wenlong informed Xiao Ming about the situation.

How much money did you spend in total? Xiao Ming asked.

Two hundred taels.

Xiao Ming felt a pain in his flesh, as if he had been cut into flesh. His nickname in the dormitory was Xiao Ge Langtai, How come these briquettes and ore are so expensive.

Chen Wenlong smiled bitterly and did not dare to answer.

In his opinion, Xiao Ming can only be blamed for this.

When he first came to the fief, this dignified King Qi quickly mixed with the children of the local wealthy family.

All day long with these powerful sons and daughters, bullying men and women.

These wealthy children learned that Xiao Ming did not like the emperor, and the money on hand was not rich, so they gave Xiao Ming a lot of money, which was deeply favored by Xiao Ming.

However, these people's minds are not simple, and soon the management rights of the Qingzhou mine were sold to these wealthy families by Xiao Ming's cabbage price.

Among them, the Qingzhou Wang family has obtained the most mining rights, and the coal briquettes and iron ore on the market come from his family.

Your Highness, you can blame our Wang family for this. The mine in Qingzhou is 50 miles away, and there is no water transport here. It can only be carried by horses. The cost will naturally double. If we don't make a small profit, our Wang family will not be able to survive.

At this moment, a frivolous voice sounded outside the door, and walked in a handsome man wearing a blue satin gown and walking on Tengyun boots.

It's just that the man's face was pale and weak.

Isn't this Brother Shijie?

In Xiao Ming's memory, this Wang Shijie was the eldest son of the royal family of Qingzhou, and he was also the first in his circle of friends and friends in Qingzhou. He was one of the four evils in Qingzhou by the people.

I have seen Your Highness! Wang Shijie bowed slightly to Xiao Ming, holding a paper fan in his hand.

No gift. Xiao Ming raised his hand.

He is not Xiao Ming now, but in his memory, Xiao Ming's love for Wang Shijie can still affect him.

This is the same as Xiao Ming's memory of Pang Yukun will affect him, but these are all preconceived memories.

Now that he is not the Xiao Ming of the past, he could have ignored Wang Shijie, but he understands that it is inappropriate to take the civilian line now.

Because now he wants to unite all the forces that can be united to deal with the real enemy, this local noble family is just a contradiction within the fief.

And to him, it is of great value.

Wang didn't go to Yizhou to check the accounts. He never thought that His Highness would capture thirty barbarian cavalry alive. Wang really admires and admires it. Wang Shijie sighed and showed admiration.

Where is it? Brother Shijie is wrong, but it's just luck. These barbarians also came in by accident. Xiao Ming asked the officer to move a chair for Wang Shijie to sit on, and asked, Brother Shijie just now Back to Qingzhou?

Exactly, my father said that His Highness was buying coal briquettes and iron ore in large quantities these two days. He sent me here to ask how much His Highness needs?

Xiao Ming laughed secretly, what Wang Shijie said was just an excuse, the real purpose was probably to come and see what these batches of coal briquettes and iron ore were used for?

These are enough for the time being, but it's just for the equipment department to make some gadgets. If I still need it, I will go to Brother Wang.

This time, Xiao Ming bought ten tons of iron ore and a considerable amount of coal briquettes. He just used these things for the craftsmen to practice.

It's easy to say, easy to say. Wang Shijie smiled.

Based on what he knew about Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming would not lie to him, after a pause, he suddenly got up and said to Xiao Ming, Your Highness, in order to thank you for your protection of Qingzhou, my father held a banquet at home tonight, Xiaohong. I've missed your Highness very much these two days.

The sugar-coated cannonballs came, Xiao Ming looked strange.

In the Great Yu Kingdom, the family banquet of the wealthy family was a very chaotic occasion. It was basically the same as a brothel.

In addition to eating, basically the wealthy family sent out their decent-looking maids for the entertainment of the guests and the host.

This Wang Shijie liked this one very much. When Xiao Ming was with him before, this kind of thing was inevitable.

The little red in his mouth was Xiao Ming's former love interest.

This... As a man, it's not normal to be unmoved, but now Xiao Ming really doesn't want to go.

As the saying goes, cannibalism is short-sighted and soft-handed. Every time the Wang family holds a family banquet, the Wang family will always ask for it at the last minute.

He is not stupid. If this continues, the name of this fief will be changed to Wang.

Seeing Xiao Ming's hesitant expression, Wang Shijie showed an expression that men could understand, I heard that Concubine Zhen gave two beauties to His Highness, is your Highness a little overjoyed and forgot about my little red.

Eh? Brother Wang just needs to know. Xiao Ming said along the way.

Wang Shijie showed an envious look and sighed: Unfortunately, I'm afraid there are no beauties comparable to Luluo and Aster in Qingzhou. Your Highness is so beautiful, when can I let my younger brother have a taste...

Xiao Ming's expression changed in an instant. This Wang Shijie was a well-known star in Qingzhou, but now he actually hit him with an idea. He was really daring. This was the idea of ​​Luluo and Aster.

Brother Shijie, Luluo and Ziwan are the concubine's personal maids! Xiao Ming said sternly.

Just now, Wang Shijie's mind was full of the slender figures of Luluo and Aster. When he came back to his senses, seeing Xiao Ming's dangerous eyes, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What he said just now is enough to say that it is outrageous.

Your Highness, calm down, I'm really confused. Wang Shijie carefully accompanied his smiling face.

Xiao Ming snorted coldly. Now the Qingzhou clan has a lot of power, of course he can rectify them, but at that time his fief must be broken, so his current thinking and the clan use each other.

For example, this coal and iron, he also counted on these people to provide.

As for Wang Shijie, if it was the previous Xiao Ming, he would probably be on the same page, but when he met him, he naturally ate it this time, so he just spoke according to the way he used to get along with Xiao Ming.

It's okay, I also ask Brother Shijie to go back and report to Ming Lingzun. I won't go to this banquet today. Xiao Ming has already driven people away.

Wang Shijie is also a good person, Xiao Ming is obviously not the way he used to be, he said: So, Wang retire.

Watching Wang Shijie become the equipment department, Xiao Ming continued to teach craftsmen how to make and use lathes.

Chen Wenlong was also listening carefully. Now Xiao Ming was talking about something he had never heard of, but he could understand it.

And the appearance of these lathes will automatically appear in his mind. Gradually, the manufacturing process of the lathes has become clear in his mind, and everything is so natural.

In the evening, the knowledge that should be imparted was also imparted, and the detailed manufacturing process of the technology spar was fully transmitted, and the rest was practiced by these craftsmen.

It takes time to talk about and not to practice the fake handle, and it will take time for scientific and technological knowledge to reach the finished product.
