Chapter 129

When Zhang Hao saw Wu Fanghai, before he had time to say hello, Wu Fanghai laughed loudly: "Xiaohao, you did a good job. I went to the Artifact Refining Guild to see it. I didn't expect you to come up with such a wonderful idea."

Zhang Hao smiled lightly: "I have met my adoptive father. The idea of ​​profiles and semi-finished products is the method that our family craftsmen came up with. I am only responsible for realizing these ideas."

"But everyone said it was your idea. Come here and let me have a look. I haven't seen you for a while, and the foundation has already been established."

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

Wu Fanghai's face turned dark immediately, he really didn't prepare a gift~

Zhang Shengde immediately reprimanded: "Xiaohao, there is no such thing as you. Come and sit down."

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

However, I have studied it for a long time, and I still haven't figured out its function. "

Zhang Hao took it with both hands, saying that "the elders don't dare to resign." Zhang Hao opened the box, but saw a green pendant about one inch long, with thousands of knots hanging on it.

Inside the jade pendant, there was a faint flash of light. There are also four characters on the jade pendant: a gentleman is like jade.

"Good jade pendant. Thank you foster father." Although I don't know how capable this jade pendant is, it's extraordinary just because of its appearance.

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

Zhang Hao observed for a while, untied the thousand knots, and only hung the jade pendant around his waist.

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

"Thank you foster father. By the way, foster father, aren't you in the country of Jinyang?"

"This...it's a long story."

"Let's make a long story short, then."

Wu Fanghai: ...Little mouse, you are skinny! It's itchy too!

Zhang Shengde's face was dark: "Xiaohao, why are you talking to the elders!"

Young Master Zhang immediately apologized, and then looked at Wu Fanghai anxiously.

"Okay, okay." Wu Fanghai laughed, "I really like Xiaohao. Xiaohao, sit by my side."

Zhang Hao sat next to Wu Fanghai, and Wu Fanghai spoke briefly; but Zhang Hao's face gradually became serious.

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

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

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

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

Wu Fanghai thought for a while before slowly saying: "Currently, Ninghe County has the highest output of black iron in China; and the Zhang family is the most.

His Majesty had a discussion with us yesterday, thinking that Ninghe County might be able to be turned into a production base for magic weapons, magic weapons, and magic weapons of war.

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

Zhang Hao immediately became excited: "This is a good thing. I'm not sure about other families, but the Zhang family definitely welcomes it."

Wu Fanghai was a little dazed, agreed so quickly? I also prepared a lot of words and principles. After hesitating for a while, he said, "It's just...you know that the national treasury is really empty now, so I would like to ask if the Zhang family can accept other forms of payment."

I knew it was okay for you to appear suddenly. No, wait... The country has no money to pay, so it is a good thing to let yourself make conditions, right?

Zhang Hao's head became active in an instant.

After looking at his father Zhang Shengde, Zhang Hao turned to Wu Fanghai and said, "Father, this...is really embarrassing for us..."

A wry smile appeared on Wu Fanghai's face, the cheerfulness just now was all faked. Speaking of it, Ouyang Si should have come over, but Ouyang Si pushed Wu Fanghai over.

When Zhang Hao saw Wu Fanghai's expression, he said impatiently: "Father, it was very difficult for us to donate 5,000 tons of black iron earlier, and the country actually wants us to continue to pay. This is a bit too much!"

How about this, assign the west of Ninghe County to us as a fief, the hereditary kind. "

Zhang Hao's words were very casual, with a taste of 'angry'. But in fact, this is Zhang Hao's attempt. He is testing the country's bottom line.

And because of his young age, Zhang Hao can talk nonsense; in contrast, Zhang Shengde is inconvenient to say such things.

As for Wu Fanghai, he thought about it seriously and didn't reply immediately.

When Zhang Hao saw it, he immediately understood: there is a play!

After a while, Wu Fanghai finally spoke: "Xiaohao, half of Ninghe County is too big. At most, Changshan town can only be granted to the Zhang family."

Zhang Hao jumped up immediately: "Father, the country wants to build us into a black iron base, so the country will need a small amount of black iron for a long time to come, right?"

"……Yes."

"Father, we are willing to support the country's development. But we also have to survive. In fact, we are already very difficult now.

The 5,000 tons of black iron that supports the country is still being produced, but within our family, it is already somewhat stretched. Especially now that the price of elixir has soared, we are also in a dilemma. "

Wu Fanghai had nothing to say for a moment. This is a dilemma.

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

Things are really complicated and tricky.

Wu Fanghai had no choice but to ask again: "What does your Zhang family want? I'll go back and communicate with His Majesty."

"The fiefdom is part of it. Also, we can supply the black iron to the country at the cost price in the future; but it is limited to the black iron with a purity of less than 95%.

The state must pay for spiritual stones, charcoal, bamboo charcoal, ores, elixirs, etc.

In addition, we ask for tax benefits.

Since the country cannot provide enough money right now, how about using future taxes as compensation? "

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

"Then trouble the adoptive father. By the way, foster father, I have always wanted to go to the battlefield to see the actual situation on the battlefield."

"Oh... why? The battlefield is very dangerous. Even in the Nascent Soul stage, I dare not say that I will survive."

"Father, we are preparing to create magic weapons of war, and we want to build some new magic weapons of war. But if I don't know the battlefield situation at all, I will just do it behind closed doors.

And the easiest way is to take a look at the battlefield. "

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

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

While hesitating, he heard a loud laugh coming from outside, "The crown prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang, Wei Zirong, is here to visit, and I implore the Zhang family to see you."

Zhang Hao looked up at Wu Fanghai; Wu Fanghai frowned.

But Zhang Shengde strode out: "I'll go and have a look."

This is to go out and greet in person. Zhang Hao quickly followed and walked out, only Wu Fanghai was left.

Wu Fanghai was uncomfortable sitting, he sighed and got up.
