Chapter 13 Father and Son Night Talk

The night is quiet, and the serenade is composed of insects chirping one after another in a patchwork pattern. Occasionally, the clear and crisp birdsong injects soul into the serenade, making the night lively and lively.

However, Zhang Hao's heart at this time was raised in his throat!

Zhang Hao's spirit was tense to the extreme, but there was still a little expectation on his face: a boy who was eager to show himself in front of his father.

Next to him, Zhang Han, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes and made a gesture of listening.

Zhang Shengde said slowly: "During the day, in addition to attacking the Qian family, you also said that you want to establish our family's status and organize everyone. Can you talk about this again?"

So this is it~~~

Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

"Father, the situation at that time forced me to make a decision as soon as possible. The fundamental reason why everyone was instigated by the Qian family was profit.

As the saying goes, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. In that case, it doesn't make sense to reason with everyone. Only by giving everyone tangible benefits can we calm down everyone's anger. "

Zhang Shengde nodded, and looked at Zhang Hao with brighter eyes.

Zhang Hao continued: "We had two options at the time. One was to restore the original price, but that would tarnish the family, lose credibility, and affect our plans; it would also allow the Qian family to succeed, isolate us, The opposite of everyone.

Then we can only choose the second option, which is to give our outdated technology to everyone. Coincidentally, he can still draw the bottom line on the Qian family.

But we are not fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered without fighting back. To get our technology, we have to pay a little something. "

"They didn't pay anything!" Zhang Han was puzzled.

"No, they paid." Zhang Shengde said, "What they paid was trust and respect. Moreover, they helped us expel the Qian family, making the Qian family lose their foothold!"

After a short pause, Zhang Shengde looked at Zhang Hao again: "But there is one more thing, didn't you say you want to organize everyone? But you didn't say that on the trading desk."

"Father, we can't say this! We have to wait for them to say it, or wait for them to beg us.

Now that they have new technology, it's time for confidence to swell.

But I believe that soon everyone will come to us. "

"Oh, tell me?"

"During the day, many people have seen the smelting method of black iron. Everyone has a clear understanding of the cost price of black iron; therefore, the quality of black iron has improved, but the price may be difficult to increase.

Also, in the past, some families and commercial firms who wanted to get involved in the smelting of black iron but did not know how to smelt it were probably already busy.

Most of these families and firms have strong funds, and they will further lower the price of black iron.

I think that within half a month at most, interesting changes will take place in the black iron market.

The quality of black iron will improve, but the price will not increase too much; and because a large number of new firms will join, the market will be in chaos.

At that time, everyone will call for the stability and unity of the market.

At that time, everyone will think of us. "

Zhang Shengde thought for a while before nodding. "Not bad. What else? The technology we disclosed can forge black iron with a purity of 93%. If everyone ignores the cost, we may be able to forge black iron with a purity of 95%."

"Isn't that just right!" Zhang Hao's eyes were full of pride, "Ten days later, we will be able to directly sell black iron with a purity of more than 90%. The profit of 90% purity is greater, allowing the family to reach a level in the shortest possible time. peak."

As he said that, Zhang Hao's face turned serious: "Father, the Eastern Expedition may start at any time; if the Eastern Expedition fails, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Therefore, I am afraid that there is not much time left for the family.

We must bring the family to a new level in the shortest possible time.

There is a shortage of elixir in western countries. But if we can provide the country, and even the western countries, with a large amount of high-purity black iron, then the victory of the Eastern Expedition can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

It can also guarantee the status of the family.

If we can provide a large amount of high-quality, low-price black iron to the western countries, we will be the guests of the countries! "

"But it may also cause catastrophe!" Zhang Han added coolly.

Zhang Hao nodded: "So, before that, we must unite our peers and form an alliance of interests that advances and retreats together.

If possible, we should also recruit the forces behind Zheng Changqiu, Liu Xian, Mei Qianyun, etc. that we saw during the day.

We produce black iron, they produce magic weapons. We form a community of interests! "

Zhang Shengde slowly picked up the teacup, and sipped it little by little, as if feeling something.

…………

It was already dark, but the city lord's mansion of Ninghe County was very lively.

City Lord Liu Jingming was sitting next to him, and in front of him was a blacksmith temporarily transferred from another department. Zhu Yuantang, who met Zhang Hao and others during the day, was directing everyone to be busy.

The sound of clanging and forging has lasted for most of the night, but no one rested.

On Liu Jingming's left hand side, there are two pieces of black iron purchased from the Zhang family; the black iron has been finely polished, reflecting the surrounding light and shadow, beautifully.

On the right side of Liu Jingming, there are more than ten palm-sized iron plates, which have just been forged. He is also playing with a piece of black iron in his hand, the purity of this black iron piece is as high as 94%.

It's just that Liu Jingming's heart is obviously not here, and he is staring at the roof in a daze.

Zhu Yuantang's eyes drifted past Liu Jingming cautiously. This middle-aged, majestic and domineering city lord has already reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, but he has not disclosed it to the public.

"Zhu Yuantang!" Liu Jingming said suddenly.

"Here!" Zhu Yuantang immediately stood up straight, as firm as ever.

That year, Liu Jingming was still a general, and Zhu Yuantang was a soldier, and they went through ups and downs together.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuantang's aptitude is limited, his cultivation has only reached the early stage of Jindan stage, and his lifespan is short; while Liu Jingming has reached the stage of Yuanying stage and has a long lifespan.

Liu Jingming said softly: "Do you think it's better for us to forge black iron ourselves, or buy it from the Zhang family?"

Zhu Yuantang said without hesitation: "I don't approve of forging black iron by myself; but I don't necessarily buy it from the Zhang family."

Liu Jingming became interested: "Oh... tell me?"

"If we forge it ourselves, we need to add corresponding departments, have management, have various craftsmen, and purchase various items, etc.; the quality cannot be guaranteed.

In contrast, it is better to buy from the market, and you can also shop around.

I believe that no one dares to play tricks on the city lord! "

"That's right. I'll leave it to you."

"Yes." Zhu Yuantang responded.

"Also, tomorrow morning, on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, you will go to Cuizhu Peak to inquire about the situation and determine whether the rumors are true or not."

(The update is a bit late, the new book has too many clues, and it is not easy to write. Sorry)
