Chapter 660 New Plan!
Chapter six hundred and sixtieth
"Everyone, to tell you the truth, calling everyone here this time is really a request for something."
Wang Chong picked up a piece of Poria cloud cake from the table, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, while saying calmly.
Hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked as expected. But even so, no one had the intention of shirking, but looked forward to it.
In the Southwest War, all the families that participated in the war, including the reinforcements later, were all generously rewarded by the imperial court afterwards, especially those families who sent out masters to follow Wang Chong deep into the Southwest in the early days. The rewards were particularly generous.
This is truly one person attaining enlightenment, chicken and dog ascending to heaven.
In the current capital, Wang Chong's influence has grown to an unbelievable degree. All the aristocratic families want to cooperate with him, because they all know that cooperating with him will definitely bring huge benefits.
As long as Wang Chong ascends to call out, there must be countless families willing to respond.
The people on the top floor of this Taibai Immortal Building had the earliest relationship with Wang Chong in the early days, so they seemed to have become the core circle around Wang Chong, and became the envy and envy of countless people.
"Brother Wang, tell me, no matter what you want, our Chi family will definitely try our best to find what the young master wants."
As soon as Wang Chong finished speaking, Chi Weisi immediately stood up and said without hesitation.
He didn't know about the other families, but the Chi family was greatly rewarded for their support of Wang Chong during that war. His two older brothers were even directly promoted to the first level, which had a great impact on the Chi family.
One must know that his two elder brothers were originally high-ranking captains, but this time, because of Wang Chong's relationship, they were directly promoted to generals.
There is an essential difference between a high-ranking captain and a military general.
call out!
Wang Chong didn't say much, and flicked out the few notes he had prepared in advance from his sleeves, and dropped them in front of everyone.
"oh?"
Seeing the notes prepared by Wang Chong, everyone was very curious. Even Bai Siling and Zhao Hongying temporarily let Wang Chong go and focused their attention on the small pieces of paper in front of them.
"lime?"
Bai Siling saw the words on the small piece of paper,
I was very surprised. She thought it was something important for Wang Chong to ask them for help, but she never thought that it would be something like this.
"And clay."
At the same time, Zhuang Zhengping also opened the small piece of paper in front of him, his expression even more astonished than Bai Siling's.
Isn't this kind of thing used to make ceramics? It should be everywhere in Beijing!
What does Wang Chong want such an ordinary thing for?
And it's just clay, Wang Chong doesn't seem to need to make a big show of asking the dealer to help.
"I know you guys are weird, but this matter is really important to me. The most important thing is that whether it's lime or clay, I need a lot of it."
Seemingly aware of the doubts in everyone's hearts, Wang Chong looked at them with a smile and added.
"How much is a large amount?"
Zhao Hongying frowned at the side and said.
"Unlimited, as many as you want. At least these in the capital alone are far from enough."
Wang Chong said.
"Buzz."
Hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone's expressions were shocked, even Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi's eyelids twitched. Even Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi didn't know how much lime and clay was in the capital.
But at least one thing, that number is definitely beyond imagination.
As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the resources accumulated in this capital city are absolutely the best in the world. Wang Chong actually said that it is far from enough, which is simply beyond everyone's imagination.
What kind of plan would require so much lime and clay. And until now, no one knew what Wang Chong needed so many materials for.
Also, what on earth can lime and clay do?
"Hehe, you will know when the time comes."
Wang Chong smiled.
For the great victory in the Southwest, Wang Chong received a reward of three million taels of gold, as well as a large amount of jewels. This allowed Wang Chong to finally start another plan of his own.
Lime and clay are two extremely important things in this plan.
Regardless of the Zhao family, the Bai family, the Chi family, the Zhuang family... these are all big aristocratic families in the capital. They have operated in the capital for dozens or hundreds of years and have huge connections and resources.
This is also the main reason why Wang Chong summoned Bai Siling, Zhao Hongying, Guo Feng, Chai Zhiyi and others.
This is a project that is only related to the economy. There is no sword, blood, or strong smoke, but to Wang Chong, this project is no less important than the Southwest War, and to Datang, its importance Even better than that.
Only now, no one knows what he's doing except himself.
"That's right, Wang Chong..."
Chai Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said.
"If a new plan is launched this time, if a lot of resources and money are needed, can we let the Chai family join in?"
Chai Zhiyi said these words very hesitantly, but Wang Chong's reaction was beyond his expectation.
"Haha, of course."
Wang Chong laughed out loud.
The effect of the Southwest War began to appear, and even a family like the Chai family began to feel tempted, wanting to join in, get a share of the action, and get a share of the credit.
However, this is exactly what Wang Chong wants. The financial and material resources required for the next plan cannot be afforded by himself.
The Chai family might have thought that Wang Chong was unwilling to share their credit, but the fact was on the contrary. Wang Chong needed a large number of families like the Chai family to participate in his plan.
"Brother Chai, Brother Guo, and everyone else, no matter who wants to participate, I, Wang Chong, will always come. The more the better. Although I can't guarantee other things, this matter is absolutely important for each family. You can get a lot of credit.”
Wang Chong smiled.
In the room, everyone's eyes lit up. Just these words are enough for everyone.
...
Coming out of Taibai Immortal Tower, Wang Chong headed east all the way.
"stop!"
After about several thousand meters, Wang Chong's carriage stopped beside a dense tree shade. Bang, the carriage door opened, and a figure seemed to have known that Wang Chong would stop here, and came in from the outside.
"Lord Hou."
The figure saluted Wang Chong in the carriage.
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be polite. You should call me Wang Chong. Sit down!"
Wang Chong pointed to the seat opposite and said with a smile.
"Then I would be more respectful than obedient."
Zhang Shouzhi bowed his hands and sat down on the seat opposite Wang Chong. From Lion City to the final decisive battle in the southwest, Zhang Shouzhi has been by Wang Chong's side.
Wang Chong's success is definitely due to Zhang Shouzhi's contribution. He is definitely one of the most core members beside Wang Chong.
"What's the matter, please come here in person?"
Wang Chong said with a smile.
He had just rushed here to meet him after he received a letter from Zhang Shouzhi.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just entrusted by someone to ask for favors in front of the young master."
Zhang Shouzhi said with a smile.
"If I can invite you, then this is really a big face. Tell me, Cheng Zhang, Huang Lu, the four sword-making families, which family came here and persuaded you to intercede?"
Wang Chong laughed.
I was used to Zhang Shouzhi's strict and harsh demeanor, but seeing him suddenly come to intercede on behalf of others, this was never before, it was the only one. But it is not difficult for Wang Chong to guess.
Zhang Shouzhi, a master civil engineer who once built the imperial palace, usually had close contact with him except for those masons, and only master swordsmiths like Cheng Zhang Huanglu.
"Hey, Young Master Mingcha, it was indeed the Huang family in the capital who came to me and asked me to intercede."
Zhang Shou's way.
"Is it for that?"
Wang Chong's voice suddenly became much colder.
"yes!"
Zhang Shouzhi nodded, and his expression became much more serious. For the Southwest War, before Wang Chong set off, he sent a large number of war equipment to the four great families of Cheng, Zhang, Huang and Lu, as well as all the sword towers and sword shops in the capital.
But at the most critical time of the war, there was a shortage of a large number of war equipment, and the problem occurred in the Huang family in the capital.
Wang rushed to their war machines, which were not fully completed at all.
The final result was that at the height of the war, Wang Chong simply didn't have enough backup steel walls to supplement.
Wang Chong knew about this, Zhang Shouzhi knew about it, and all the artisans who participated in the battle knew about it.
If the Annan Protectorate Army failed, it would be nothing if Wang Chong died there, but Wang Chong came back alive. And a big win.
The Huang family in the capital was obviously afraid that Wang Chong would settle accounts in the fall, so they asked Zhang Shouzhi, who had the closest relationship with Wang Chong, to intercede.
"Hmph, fortunately they still have the face to say it."
Wang Chong's face was covered with frost.
"Oh, son, I can't blame them for this matter. The Huang family didn't default on it on purpose. No matter what the brand has been operating in the capital for many years and hundreds of years, it is impossible to be so dishonest. The Huang family also has its own pains."
Zhang Shou's way.
"What is the difficulty? If the four great families were like them, we would have died on the battlefield in the southwest long ago."
Wang Chong sneered.
The steel city wall is an extremely important part of his plan. Without those extremely strong steel city walls, the advantage of the mountains alone would not be able to withstand the impact of the Mongolian and Uganda coalition forces.
For the Huang family, it might just be some money and contracts, but for the Annan Protectorate Army, it was the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
This was also the reason why Wang Chong was very angry.
Since arriving in the capital, he has visited all the families, but he did not go to the Huang family.
The Huang family obviously felt something, and that's why there was this scene in front of them.
"I also went to find out about this matter, and even went to the Huang's house to check it out. It's not that the Huang's family was unwilling to fulfill the contract with the young master, but that there was no iron available at that time."
Zhang Shouzhi sighed.
