Chapter 24

"Dong dong dong..." The dull knock on the door echoed in the quiet dawn.

Zhang Hao groaned helplessly, "What are you doing, you closed your eyes just now, why don't you let me sleep?"

Zhang Han's voice drifted over: "Little brother, get up quickly, the princess is coming over today, dress up well, maybe you can be the emperor's son-in-law."

Zhang Hao turned over and continued to sleep on his stomach. "What's the matter with the princess, it's not rare."

Princess? For souls from another world, the attraction is not great.

Generally speaking, if you marry a princess, you have to be careful, you can't be scolded, you can't be beaten, you can't find a concubine; maybe you have to help the princess find a concubine! Who knows how many benefactors he is the princess~~~

For these aunts, Zhang Hao said: We should keep them at a respectful distance.

You can't give up the whole forest for a crooked neck tree.

Zhang Han outside the door was stunned instead, "Hey, little brother, the princess is said to be the most beautiful princess in the west of Fertility Island. It is said that her beauty, wisdom, and cultivation have amazed the royal families of all countries. Desperate."

"Not rare, not rare, not rare! I want to sleep. If you disturb my sleep again, I will be in a hurry with you!"

Zhang Han: ...

Zhang Han left, and Master Zhang Hao was going to continue to sleep with his head covered.

However, within two or three minutes, there was the sound of heavy and powerful footsteps.

With a bang, the door was kicked open.

"stand up!"

"Oh...Dad, am I getting dressed right now?" Zhang Hao hurriedly put on his clothes, looked at Zhang Shengde's darkened face, and couldn't help but find a topic, "Dad, look at other people's homes. There is a maid, why don't we have one in our house?"

"Want a maid? Don't even think about it! If your cultivation base is less than the foundation building period, just practice honestly!"

Zhang Hao put on his clothes, put on his shoes, and came to Zhang Shengde: "Father, I packed it up."

"Let's go, I have something to discuss with you."

While walking, Zhang Shengde told the story.

It is said that 800 tons of black iron was going to be loaded and transported to the county town today, but now Feng Dongyuan sent an order saying that the princess is coming, and the Zhang family should not go anywhere.

But the problem is that the Zhang family has already made an appointment with Zheng Changqiu, Mu Mingchen, Ji Budong, Liu Xian, Zhu Yuantang, Mei Qianyun, etc., and will go to the county today and make a deal.

"Father, then Feng Dongyuan left after delivering the message, right?"

"right."

"That is to say, Feng Dongyuan didn't hear what Dad asked Feng Dongyuan to pass on."

"I didn't say anything?"

"No, Dad said it, but Feng Dongyuan didn't hear it. Dad said: We have already made an appointment with the rest of the family, and we are going to the county today."

Zhang Shengde finally came to his senses and smiled: "Yes, I said it, but Feng Dongyuan didn't hear it, he left too fast. Ha..."

But after finishing speaking, Zhang Shengde was still a little cautious: "We really don't wait for the princess?"

"Father, why did the princess come to our house? Obviously, it was because of Xuan Tie! In other words, in this regard, we have the initiative. Therefore, we must grasp the initiative.

Besides, we've already made an appointment with someone else.

Youdao means "keeping your word and keeping your word." Since we have said it, we should try our best to do it. If the Zhang family wants to rise, it starts with keeping promises. "

"But doing so will anger the princess, right?"

"I don't think so, at least not on the surface.

The princess came here in person, it may be related to the Eastern Expedition, and maybe it needs to express a little generosity and benevolence; therefore, the more disobedient we are, the more magnanimous the princess will be.

Moreover, I am now a registered disciple of Xuanzhen Sect! "

Zhang Shengde nodded: "That's right. But this matter needs to be reported to City Lord Liu Jingming alone.

let's go. "

As soon as Chaoyang appeared, the Zhang family's team set off.

The 113 carriages carried a total of 300 tons of black iron; the four-wheeled carriages left deep ruts on the ground, and the horses pulling the carts kept snorting, which seemed to be a little emotional-too heavy.

The guards of the Zhang family kept feeding the horses with some low-level pills to comfort these tall horses.

Zhang Hao was curious, and Zhang Han explained: "This is called 'Grass Spirit Pill', which is not a grade. It is specially used to feed horses, or feed low-level pets, spirit beasts, etc.

Ordinary spirit rice, low-grade spirit grass, etc. are used to cook with spirit spring, and knead into pills after cooling. The groom at home can make it.

Grass elixir can replenish the horses' physical strength and calm their emotions. "

Zhang Hao nodded.

Soothed by Cao Lingdan, these horses, carrying heavy cargo, entered the county town and arrived at Fangshi. At this time, it was already the second quarter of the hour (7:30), and there were many people gathered in front of Zhang's shop and in the classics.

From a long distance, Zhang Hao heard Zheng Changqiu's loud voice: "How about it, I said that the Zhang family will definitely come!"

Then I saw Zheng Changqiu's particularly fat figure squeezed out of the crowd, and rushed to the side of the carriage: "Zhang Hao, tell Uncle Zheng secretly, how much black iron have you prepared this time?"

"Not much, just a few hundred tons." Zhang Hao said casually.

Zheng Changqiu rolled his eyes: "Then I guess... 200 tons?"

Zhang Hao smiled and stopped talking.

Zheng Changqiu didn't stop, "Nephew, I heard that the princess is going to your place. Why did you come to the county?"

"Didn't we make an appointment earlier? We met at noon today. As for the princess, of course we dare not neglect. My father will go to the city lord's mansion to explain in person later.

But Uncle Zheng, the whereabouts of this princess should be kept secret, why do you..."

"Haha, I'll watch Xuan Tie first."

Looking at Zheng Changqiu's back, Zhang Hao pouted. But the Zhang family's trustworthy behavior won everyone's approval invisibly.

Pieces of black iron were carried to the main room by the guards, and the stone slabs on the ground cracked under the heavy black iron. Three hundred tons of black iron was built into a city wall, which made Zheng Changqiu and others a little dumbfounded.

What is dumbfounded is not only the quantity, but also the quality.

This time, the minimum purity of black iron is 86%; the maximum purity is 95%. Among them, the purity of 93% is as much as half.

"Gudong..." Zheng Changqiu and the others swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Mo Dan... can't afford it!

Even Liu Xian, who has a royal background and Yunying Trading Company, stared. "93% pure, the market price is at least 40 middle-grade spirit stones per catty. A ton needs at least 800 top-grade spirit stones!

Old Zhang, you guys are trying to grab it!

The spirit stones I brought this time are not enough to buy one. "

Zhang Shengde smiled lightly, "I'm going to visit the city lord first, and I'll be back as soon as possible. Everyone, just take a look."

When Zhang Shengde left, Ji Butong looked at Zhang Hao: "Nephew, first of all, congratulations to the Zhang family for another breakthrough in the black iron smelting technology. These black irons are gratifying to look at."

"Congratulations." Zhang Hao smiled happily.

Zhang Hao was happy, not only because of the compliments from everyone, but also because he was a registered disciple of Xuanzhen Sect, so he dared to "reveal his wealth", and the Zhang family could develop savagely.

As a named disciple, the help provided to Zhang Hao and the Zhang family is immeasurable.

But Ji Butong said that after the compliment, he immediately raised a question, "Nephew, these dark irons are very good, but they are too expensive, we can't even afford one piece.

You say, what should we do? "
