Chapter 71 Let Me Tell You a Story

(Khan, everyone has a lot of opinions on the previous chapter. The explanation is given in the middle of this chapter.)

In the main hall, the emperor asked the servant next to him to read out the credit terms stated by Liu Jingming, and asked everyone.

"Great treason!" Han Yue, the official censor, was furious immediately, "It's not a son of man to be so fussy!"

So, in the court hall, there was a lot of scolding immediately.

Prime Minister Ouyang Si said quietly: "Doctor Yushi, what do you think the Black Iron Guild should do?"

"Of course it's a free donation!"

"Really, I heard that in Doctor Yushi's house, spirit stones are piled up like a mountain, pills are rolled all over the ground, and they also have their own black iron firm. I don't know how Doctor Yushi plans to support the country?

Previously, the Zhang family promised to donate 5,000 tons of black iron with a purity of 95% within the next two months! "

"The Zhang family is the Zhang family, and the Black Iron Guild is the Black Iron Guild. The two cannot be confused."

The prime minister narrowed his eyes: "What I'm asking is, what is your Han family going to do?"

In the hall, the atmosphere froze instantly.

Prime Minister Ouyang Si's questioning forced Han Yue, the official censor, into a corner. Speaking of it, it was Han Yue who found trouble on his own.

But Han Yue quickly said that we have already donated, including artisans, family guards, food, spirit stones, etc., and many of our family have served in the army.

But the Xuantie Guild is a non-governmental business organization that has not made any contribution to the country, so ask him to donate something, what's the matter! Shouldn't it!

The prime minister suddenly became angry: "Han Yue, now is not the time to act impulsively! The Xuantie Guild's proposal is very fair."

The people on the prime minister's side also began to complain, accusing Han Yue of talking on his knees.

This one said: The credit terms are good. It solves the country's financial problems, actively supports the Eastern Expedition, and guarantees the hearts of the people.

The other said: The credit terms are great. With it, the country will be able to make great strides forward, and it may have the effect of turning things around.

He also said: The credit terms are wonderful, it really solves the urgent need, and it is universal.

However, some wise men said: This credit clause also has two sides. If it is used excessively, it will drag down the country, so we should be cautious.

After a long quarrel in the hall, the emperor finally spoke: "Ouyang Si!"

"The minister is here!" Prime Minister Ouyang Si stepped forward.

"You go to the Black Iron Guild in person to discuss the issue of credit, the sooner the better; you can give the Black Iron Guild some benefits, but it must not harm the national interest."

"Yes."

…………

In the princess mansion, in the gazebo, the princess listened quietly to the servants reporting the situation in the main hall, and finally sighed faintly, but stopped talking, and just looked at the east quietly, with deep sadness in her eyes.

Hu Yinglan whispered: "Your Highness, it's already the second watch, and it's time for you to rest."

The princess sighed again, and shook her head slightly: "Tell me, why does the emperor not use it when he has a good strategy? I don't believe that the emperor can't see it!"

Hu Yinglan whispered, "This subordinate doesn't know."

The princess glanced at Hu Yinglan, then shook her head again, "They're all smart people, but unfortunately, they're all smart people!"

After all, he turned around and was about to leave the gazebo.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yinglan gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty thinks, does Your Majesty want to take this opportunity to weaken the Kingdom of Jinyang?

Recently, the country of Jinyang has not been very peaceful. Years ago, it was said that it would unify the western countries. "

The princess stopped and said without turning her head: "If you lead the army, what should you do?"

"Adopt the strategy of General Hussars."

"What about the Kingdom of Jinyang?"

"After you are sure that you can win, it is not too late to release the water."

The princess shook her head: "So, you are just a bodyguard. How can you ensure that the Kingdom of Jinyang will not preserve its power?"

"what……"

The princess's voice suddenly turned cold: "The best way is to push the Kingdom of Jinyang to a dead end from the very beginning! Let them have no way to hide their strength!

Since the Kingdom of Jinyang has the idea of ​​unifying the West, it must hide a lot of power. "

"Ah...Your Highness, you and the Crown Prince of Jinyang Kingdom..."

"He is not worthy!"

…………

As the sky gradually brightened, Zhang Hao stretched fiercely, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhou Jue's gentle smile.

"Are you awake?" Zhou Jue smiled softly.

Zhang Hao looked around and rubbed his eyes embarrassedly: "Sorry for disturbing your rest."

"No, I want to thank you for being able to produce black iron with a purity of 99.2% in such a short period of time, and it meets our standards for refining alchemy furnaces."

"99.2%?" Zhang Hao repeated. Although I already have a guess in my heart, but I haven't personally identified it, so I still have no idea.

Zhou Jue nodded solemnly: "Yes, 99.2%! And no harmful impurities can be identified at all! This is even better than the black iron purchased from the East."

"Really? That's great. I don't know how much black iron like this is needed for Xinglin Hall and Nine Suns Sect?"

"How is Zhang's production?"

Zhang Hao waved his hand and stood up very proudly, "Brother Zhou has already seen the production capacity of our Zhang family's black iron. Give us a little time, this kind of 99% pure black iron can produce more than ten tons a month, there should be no It's a problem."

What Zhang Hao said was very conservative. In fact, Zhang Hao has fully mastered the new production technology, and it is not a problem to produce ten tons per day. But it's better to be clumsy.

99% black iron can already be used to make spirit weapons, which are a level higher than magic weapons.

98% pure black iron is worth as high as 90 to 100 middle-grade spirit stones in Qixia Country. As for the value of 99% black iron, it starts at ten times directly, and the price is calculated by the above-grade spirit stones.

For black iron, as the purity increases, the difficulty of purification increases exponentially. Because of the traditional smelting method, there are too many impurities in the black iron that are difficult to remove. And this also leads to high-purity black iron, which is more expensive.

As far as Zhang Hao knows, the value of black iron with a purity of 99% is comparable to rare spiritual materials such as Taibai fine gold and star fine gold.

The most important thing is that there is a lot of black iron, which can do many things; but there are too few materials such as Taibai fine gold, so it is difficult to be of great use.

Quantity, sometimes really matters!

Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Hao for a long time, but didn't speak directly, but said something else: "Let me tell you a story."

Zhang Hao consciously pulled the stool and sat down.

"A long time ago, there was no Xinglin Hall in Xingchang County. At that time, Xingchang County was also very common. People could only helplessly watch the price of pills being manipulated by the outside world. Many people went bankrupt and couldn't get together the pills for cultivation. .

until a boy shows up.

The young man witnessed the reality and determined to make alchemy. But alchemy is easier said than done.

The young man has nothing, even the basic exercises are ordinary exercises bought from small vendors. "

Zhou Jue's voice was melodious, and Zhang Hao's mind gradually calmed down. It seemed that he saw a young man with great ambitions, a world in mind, but no ambitions, struggling hard on the road to his dreams.

Zhou Jue continued: "The young man thought of a trick, which is to learn from everyone's strengths.

The young man said that the Qixia Kingdom actually has a second type of alchemy inheritance. Apart from the concentrated inheritance of the royal family, aristocratic families, and sects, there is also a discrete alchemy inheritance among the people. "

"A wise man once said: If the etiquette is broken, look for the wild. It means that if the rituals and music of the upper class are broken, they should go to the people to find them, and the people must have something to pass on.

The same goes for the inheritance of practice.

The same is true for alchemy inheritance.

It's just that the folk inheritance is fragmented, messy, mixed with good and bad, and difficult to distinguish between true and false. And there are many people who treasure themselves.

The young man asked the groom how to make Cao Ling Dan, and learned how to make Zhixue Powder from a village doctor.

The boy knelt in the heavy snow for seven days because of a poor-quality Peiyuan Pill.

He worked as a servant for three months for the production method of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill.

In order to learn, he vowed to give back to everyone in the future. "

Zhou Jue's tone was leisurely, Zhang Hao seemed to be there.
