Chapter 74: Magic Weapon of War

After the strength, bow your head so that both sides have steps to go down. Although Zhang Hao's handling was a bit blunt, he had already begun to show something extraordinary.

Liu Jingming nodded, Zhou Bo and others appreciated it, and the prime minister could only nod.

Taking advantage of the lunch time, Zhou Bo immediately arranged for people to rearrange the seats.

This time Zhang Hao gave an opinion: according to the traditional seating arrangement, no matter how it is arranged, it is not suitable. There is always one side higher and one lower; So Zhang Hao had an idea: we sit opposite each other.

We host because we are the host.

This is how the lunch was arranged, and both parties were very satisfied.

During the luncheon, Zhou Bo chatted and laughed, and talked about the guild's causes, consequences, responsibilities, etc., especially pointing out the guild's contribution to stabilizing the currency value; finally, he focused on the patent system that the guild is most proud of.

Prime Minister Ouyang Si was a little disapproving at first, but gradually, he had a deep understanding of the Black Iron Guild, and he continued to praise it.

Once the two sides have a basic understanding, coupled with the fact that they also care about the country, the negotiations will be much easier.

However, when it comes to money matters, "easy" is also limited.

The Xuantie Guild said: We can only extract 200 tons of Xuantie every day; as for the quality, it depends on the sales of the day.

The prime minister said: In the past month, all of them have been supplied to the military.

The Xuantie Guild said: We can give a one-year interest-free credit.

The prime minister said: You should sell it at 20% off the market price.

The Black Iron Guild said: We are asking for tax incentives.

The prime minister said: It is your duty and responsibility to pay taxes according to the law; even if it is interest, you have to pay taxes.

The two sides are at war with each other. For these interests, Zhou Bo and others have no teacher. Benefits are something that must be weighed.

Seeing that Zhang Hao had nothing to do with him, he left; as soon as he left the house, someone was handing Zhang Hao a love letter... Cough cough, it was a letter: "Deacon Zhang, there is a person named Mu Yingying at the door, who has been waiting for you for a long time gone."

Zhang Hao looked up at the already red sunset, then looked at the gossiping eyes of the guild guards, shrugged his shoulders, and came to the gate.

A beautiful but luxurious carriage was parked at the door, and the guards and coachman were like sculptures, motionless; only the two white horses pulling the carriage moved restlessly.

Zhang Hao came to the front of the carriage and shouted softly: "Sister Shi, Zhang Hao is late, please make amends."

"What's wrong with you? It's my little sister who disturbed you."

Hearing the sour voice, Zhang Hao hurriedly apologized, and changed the subject first: "Sister Shi, it's my negligence. Can you give me a chance to redeem myself?"

"I just came to watch the sunset, and I will leave after watching the sunset."

Zhang Hao was even more sure that Mu Yingying was indeed on fire. You like to watch the sunset, right? Then watch the sunset, it’s also very good. By the way, Zhang Hao searched his mind and found a few jokes.

"...I may not be the most beautiful, I may not be the smartest...My name is Wei Bihui."

"An emperor wanted to make a new dress. The new clothes had to be able to measure the loyalty of his subjects... As a result, some children were ignorant and said that His Majesty was not wearing anything, but they were taken away by adults."

"What will a seven-ripe roast meet a three-ripe roast?"

Mu Yingying was finally amused, and said with a smile: "I will say, we are just right."

"Yes, we are just right." Zhang Hao repeated seriously.

Mu Yingying was stunned for a while, then spat, "I know how to bully others! Hmph, we want to set up a refining guild like the Black Iron Guild. But I always feel that there is something missing, so I want to ask my brother for advice."

"I try my best."

Zhang Hao led a horse, followed behind Mu Yingying, and walked forward; along the way, Zhang Hao had a plan in his heart: Now, the family has already accumulated a lot of money, maybe it's time to get involved in the refining industry !

Will the Refining Union be an opportunity for the Zhang family to develop in the next step?

The two walked unhappily, and when the sun fell to the top of the city, they arrived at Jiuzhen Tower.

Jiuzhen Building was still so lively, but when Zhang Hao came to the door, the maid at the door shouted neatly: "Welcome Mr. Zhang."

At that moment, a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously. We are finally no longer supporting roles with no names and no surnames.

As soon as they entered the Jiuzhen Building, the shopkeeper greeted them with a bright smile, and personally invited Zhang Hao and Mu Yingying to the eighth floor.

Standing on the eighth floor, Zhang Hao looked at the closed door on the ninth floor, and was a little puzzled: "It seems that the ninth floor has never been opened?"

The shopkeeper immediately replied: "Because we haven't prepared all the dishes on the ninth floor so far. It made Mr. Zhang laugh."

Zhang Hao nodded, but there was ten thousand unbelief in his heart. But what people say is beautiful. The ninth floor must be used to welcome real VIPs. For example, the crown prince, the elders of Jiuyangzong and so on.

The private room turned out to be the same private room as last time, Zheng Changqiu, Mu Mingchen, Mei Qianyun, Ji Budong, Liu Xian and others that Zhang Hao knew were all there. There are also many new faces.

Zheng Changqiu was very enthusiastic and took Zhang Hao to introduce them one by one.

"The master shopkeeper of Yunying Trading Company, Liu Guang. A master in the early stage of Yuanying."

"The young master of the Mu family, Mu Pengcheng. He is 20 years old and in the middle stage of foundation establishment."

...

After rounding around, he finally returned to Zheng Changqiu's seat, pointing to the introduction next to him: "Zheng Shaojie, the young master of the Zheng family, 19 years old, in the middle stage of foundation establishment."

Zhang Hao met one by one, without losing the etiquette.

I got to know each other, but Ji Butong went straight to the point: "Nephew, they are all my own people, so I'll just say it straight."

Zhang Hao nodded in agreement. But I have another thought in my mind: we are at most acquaintances, don't press the word 'one of my own' indiscriminately.

Ji differently talked about their plan to build the Artifact Refining Guild: the discussion was very good at the beginning, but they always felt that there were some shortcomings, but they couldn't tell.

In short, everyone got together, but they couldn't find the tacit understanding of the Black Iron Guild.

After Zhang Hao finished listening, he said bluntly: "Deacon Ji, I probably understand what is missing.

Let’s talk about the Black Iron Guild first. The establishment of the Black Iron Guild has prerequisites.

The black iron market is chaotic and everyone's interests are damaged. We urgently need to make effective changes. It just so happened that the Zhang family had enough reputation because they disclosed the water forging technique. Only then did the Black Iron Guild come into existence.

In other words, everyone gathers together with a common purpose.

May I ask, what is the common purpose of everyone getting together? "

Mu Yingying thought for a while and said, "Our common goal is to expand and sort out the domestic magic weapon smelting industry."

Zhang Hao shook his head: "Shimei, I think the guild is a big family, and everyone is a member of the family.

The family needs to have an inner core, not an outer one. "

Mu Yingying frowned slightly: "Brother, what is the core of the Black Iron Guild?"

"Black iron smelting! More specifically, it is the technology of smelting black iron. In the past, we cherished the technology of black iron smelting; now, we have disclosed it internally, and everyone has made great progress. I think everyone here should have a deep understanding perception."

Everyone nodded. They personally witnessed the rise and development of the Black Iron Guild.

But what is the core of the refining union?

Zheng Shaojie buried his head in deep thought: "Our technology is different, and the refining products are also very different. I can't think of anything in common for a while!"

Mu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, there is an item that can accommodate all differences. That is: Magical Weapon of War!"

Artifact of war? Everyone's eyes brightened instantly.

Zhang Hao also came alive. Although I have heard of the words "magic weapon of war" many times and the power of magic weapon of war, I have never seen this powerful war machine with my own eyes.
