Chapter 113
The night was quiet, but Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Hao with vigilance.
The appearance of the Black Iron Guild can be said to be earth-shattering. The effect of the Black Iron Guild can be said to be immediate. The influence, interests, etc. of the Black Iron Guild have made countless people jealous.
It has been less than two months since the establishment of the Black Iron Guild, and it has already shown great potential.
However, it was such a thriving Black Iron Guild, the Zhang family left without any hesitation.
The so-called "abandoned like a poor bag" is nothing more than that.
A thriving Black Iron Guild with a bright future was split into two.
In Zhou Jue's view, the Zhang family completely disregarded other people's feelings for their own benefit.
Is such a Zhang family worth cooperating with?
Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Jue's eyes and smiled, "Brother, do you know why the Zhang family wanted to promote the Black Iron Guild in the first place?"
"not sure."
Zhang Hao walked out of the house slowly, came to the gazebo, and pointed his right hand to the surroundings: "Two months ago, this place was an ordinary market, and the Zhang family was just an ordinary family at that time.
But even so, there are still people who are thinking about the Zhang family's technology and want to take away everything from us. Under the persecution of everyone, we had no choice but to disclose the water forging technique.
Afterwards it was wonderful. Fortunately, thanks to a series of luck and technological progress, the Zhang family finally gained a firm foothold.
But the problem kept coming. At the beginning, the Zhang family was forced to disclose the water forging technique, which promoted the progress of technology. But it inadvertently caused chaos in the black iron market and led to the depreciation of black iron coins. Countless people blamed us, even scolded us!
At that time, I really wanted to say loudly to everyone - what did we do wrong! "
Having said that, Zhang Hao stopped talking. He looked at the night sky melancholy, holding on to the railing with both hands, as if he couldn't calm down.
Zhou Jue stopped talking. He wanted to comfort Zhang Hao, but he didn't know how to speak.
After a while, Zhang Hao sighed leisurely: "After that, I told my father, don't care about the life and death of these Xuantie families, and don't care about the voices of ordinary people. Anyway, we didn't cause all this on purpose. It was they who did it themselves.
But my father persuaded me for a long time.
Until I met the princess.
I don't know why the princess knows me and talks to me. But that conversation changed me. "
If you have the ability, you can ask the princess... Zhang Hao is a little proud of himself, the young master's speech level is not bad, right?
Zhou Jue was gradually brought into the story, "What changed?"
"There are no eggs under an overturned nest!" Zhang Hao said firmly, "The country is fragile, and the eastern countries are coveting. Even the country of Jinyang and the country of Danyang have covetous hearts.
In fact, a series of recent incidents are enough to show this point: the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Danyang, both of the six western countries, are plotting against our country all the time.
Faced with this situation, what should we do? "
How to do? Zhou Jue had been led astray by Zhang Hao, he followed Zhang Hao's words to think, but couldn't get an answer for a while.
Zhang Hao turned around abruptly, pointed to Dongfang, and said firmly, "Dongfang, we have worked hard for thousands of years, and the dynasties have changed three times, but we still can't make any progress."
Turning around again, pointing to the north, "The north is the country of Zhoushan, and further north is the country of Yanyun. Here, too, is a land of despair, with no hope in sight!"
Finally, Zhang Hao pointed to the south and the west: "Now, there are only these two directions, and we haven't tried them yet."
Zhou Jue frowned suddenly: "That's the green sea of death."
"Yes, it's the green sea of death!" Zhang Hao's tone began to ease, "But do we have a choice?"
Zhou Jue stopped talking. He thought about it for a long time, and finally said: "In fact, thousands of years ago, when the Qixia Kingdom was first established, it explored the Green Sea of Death, but the result was disastrous. A large number of sea monsters were enraged, and even rushed into the sea. Go to land. In the end, the empire made a huge sacrifice to calm the anger of the sea monsters."
"The development at that time was to hunt and kill sea monsters, right?"
"Yeah, do you have any good ideas?"
"What if we don't hunt sea monsters, but just pass by?"
Zhou Jue shook his head: "We also made treasure ships, but we were targeted by sea monsters as soon as we stepped into the water, and thousands of people died tragically at the mouth of monsters. At that time, several elders of the Nine Suns Sect participated in it, and they never returned. .”
"And never tried again?"
"There is no hope at all, why try!"
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Haven't you guys thought about whether your method is wrong?"
"Oh..." Zhou Jue became a little interested, "Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao said firmly, "The Zhang family has an idea, which is to use black iron to build a super ship, an indestructible fortress at sea!
For this, we must mass-produce dark iron.
In order to produce black iron, under the circumstance that the Zhang family's ability is insufficient, we promoted the black iron guild, and stabilized the price of black iron, keeping the currency value.
However, in less than two months, I was a little disappointed. The current Xuantie Guild has shown a stagnant attitude, only knowing to talk about immediate interests, but has no long-term vision.
For this reason, the Zhang family had to find a new method. So, there is the idea of the factory. "
Zhou Jue frowned slightly: "I have vaguely heard of the idea of building a black iron ship before. But with all due respect, I am not very optimistic about it.
There are two problems with this that I can't think of a solution to.
First of all, how to make black iron into a big ship?
The largest black iron creation I have ever seen should be regarded as the "Qingtian Pavilion" in the Land of Canglan, and it is only 18 feet high and 30 feet wide.
Using Qingtian Pavilion once will consume tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.
In order to build the Qingtian Pavilion, the Kingdom of Canglan spent several years of work.
And we don't have that capability.
Secondly, it is not realistic to forge a huge black iron ship into a magic weapon.
The biggest magic weapon that Jiuyangzong can refine now is the flying boat. But a flying boat is only three feet in size, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and its practicality is not high.
If these two problems can't be solved... I still don't like your sailing plan. "
Zhang Hao didn't speak, he looked at the starry sky leisurely, and looked at the crescent moon in the sky - the crescent moon is the best interpretation of the theory of the circle of the earth.
But at this moment, what Zhang Hao was thinking about was Zhou Jue's words.
After a while, Zhang Hao said leisurely: "Brother Shi, there is a sentence I want to give you."
"Oh?"
"It's not because you see hope that you work hard, but because you work hard to see hope!
We can't wait until all the conditions are met before exploring. Instead, take the initiative to solve problems. I'm not sure if the Zhang family will find a way, but I won't give up! "
After finishing speaking, Zhang Hao turned around and left. "See you tomorrow."
Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Hao's back that was slowly disappearing, but turbulent waves surged in his heart. He suddenly felt that Zhang Hao's back was firm, straight, and majestic.
"Is it because of your hard work that you can see hope?" Zhou Jue looked up at the moon in the sky, unable to calm down for a long time. This novel statement made Zhou Jue's heart burn!
While thinking, I heard Zhang Hao's ethereal voice from a distance:
At the beginning of ancient times, who preached it?
