Chapter 98

When an agreement was reached, the two parties jointly determined the details of the agreement. After several inspections, both parties signed and stamped it together; Ouyang Si immediately sent the guards back to the imperial capital, and asked the emperor to stamp it. This agreement can only take effect after the emperor stamps it.

There is also a letter to the princess, introducing the situation of Zhang Hao's "give up".

This delay arrived at noon, and everyone who was tired all night held a grand luncheon.

At the luncheon, Ouyang Si was not reconciled, and made insinuations; but everyone just smiled and kept what they said during the negotiation. It is a matter of their own interests, and everyone consciously keeps it secret.

After the luncheon, Ouyang Si took a short rest before leaving for the Artifact Refining Guild.

There are three purposes of this trip: Zhang Family, Black Iron Guild, and Artifact Refining Guild.

The Zhang family is the easiest, as long as Wu Fanghai's permission is obtained. The Black Iron Guild was more difficult. Before coming here, Ouyang Si didn't know how to negotiate, and he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, it is finally resolved.

Thinking about it now, although the Xuantie Guild asked for Luanci Mountain, at least they didn't make things difficult, make trouble for no reason, push forward and so on. In general, Ouyang Si still has a good impression of this Black Iron Guild.

At least when the country needed it, the Black Iron Guild did pay a lot.

And that Luanci Mountain is a piece of tasteless to the country. If the Black Iron Guild can benefit from it, that is their ability.

Only a few years later, Ouyang Si was beating his chest and feet for today's decision, regretting it endlessly!

But what Ouyang Si is most worried about now is the Artifact Refining Guild.

…………

The carriage with the logo of the City Lord's Mansion creaked and creaked, and it was too late to reach the destination; it seemed to know Ouyang Si, and maybe it was giving Ouyang Si time to think.

The national treasury has no money now; if it continues to borrow money, it may not be suitable.

Especially the chairman of the Artifact Refining Guild is Zhou Jue; Zhou Jue is not very old, but he is already practicing in the middle stage of Yuanying, and his talent is not weaker than that of the princess.

The most important thing is that Zhou Jue has a strong background behind him: the young master of Xinglintang, the chief disciple of Jiuyangzong!

In terms of background, Zhou Jue is almost equivalent to the prince!

Therefore, improper means will not work.

And the Refining Guild is not the Black Iron Guild. The Black Iron Guild needs mines, but the Refining Guild doesn't want mines!

If the Refining Guild wants a mine, it must be a Lingshi mine. But the Lingshi mine must be in the hands of the state.

Unlike black iron, black iron still needs to be smelted; spirit stones are dug out to make money.

Thinking so hard, Ouyang Si still couldn't think of a breakthrough.

"It seems that we can only try to get in touch and see what the needs of this Artifact Refining Guild are."

Sighing, Ouyang Si picked up the document that Zhang Hao sent over during the previous negotiation, and looked at the detailed data on it, Ouyang Si was quite moved.

After so many years in politics, Ouyang Si has never been like this this time, and he is speechless.

"Speaking with numbers, facts speak louder than words!" Ouyang Si muttered to himself, this was what Zhang Hao told him at the luncheon.

The carriage stopped slowly.

"Are you there?" Ouyang Si raised his head and asked.

The guard immediately replied: "Going back to my lord, there is still a distance. But I met Zhang's carriage."

"The Zhang family? Zhang Hao?"

Before the words fell, Zhang Hao's voice was heard: "Zhang Hao pays his respects to Uncle Ouyang."

Ouyang Si lifted the curtain and saw Zhang Hao's bright smile.

Ouyang Si quickly looked at the surrounding environment, and his mind turned:

Looking at Zhang Hao's carriage, it was obvious that it came from a small road.

Did you just run into yourself?

Or have you been waiting here?

After the confrontation last night, Ouyang Si has already decided that Zhang Hao is a little fox, and he dare not underestimate it.

Ouyang thought a little too much and didn't speak for a while.

Zhang Hao could only continue to say: "I didn't expect Zhang Hao to take a shortcut and meet Uncle Ouyang again."

Ouyang Si was still thinking about Zhang Hao's purpose in his head, and subconsciously asked, "Where is nephew going?"

"go home."

"Oh, then I'll go first." Ouyang Si put down the curtain, and was about to "run away".

Zhang Hao smiled: "Uncle Ouyang, the Artifact Refining Guild is temporarily renting from our house."

Ouyang Si: ...

"Let me lead the way for Uncle Ouyang."

With that said, Zhang Hao asked the guards driving the car to 'lead the way' in front.

Ouyang Si opened his mouth, wanting to shout: You don't need to lead the way, I know the direction.

But unfortunately, Ouyang Si's face turned red, and he had to say: I am so grateful to my nephew.

As a result, it was only time for a cup of tea, so I came to Zhang's mansion. Zhang Hao personally helped Ouyang Si open the curtain, and warmly invited Ouyang Si to get off the car.

And Zhou Jue brought everyone from the Artifact Refining Guild to greet him, and the scene was very grand.

But from Ouyang Si's point of view, it's a bit of a showdown.

With so many people coming out to greet him, and staring at him with burning eyes, it seemed a bit threatening no matter how you looked at it.

Just the introduction of the meeting took half an hour. Zhou Jue introduced them one by one, and Ouyang Si resisted the urge to hit people, forced a smile, and got to know each other one by one.

As a result, everyone just stood under the scorching sun at 14:00 for more than half an hour.

Although most cultivators are not afraid of heat, but... Zhou Jue, what the hell do you mean!

This is simply an alternative closed door!

Seeing that Zhou Jue had introduced Zhang Hao, Ouyang Si hurriedly said, "There is no need to introduce Zhang Hao."

"No, no, no." Zhou Jue shook his head, "For a formal introduction, Zhang Hao, director of the Artifact Refining Association and the 'Technical Standards Department', is one of the five ministers in the Artifact Refining Association.

At the same time, Zhang Hao is also one of the important representatives of this negotiation. "

Nima...

Ouyang Si became furious when he heard this, and this little fox will continue to negotiate with me!

After introducing Zhang Hao, Zhou Jue finally invited Ouyang Si inside.

At this moment, Ouyang Si's complexion had turned dark. Now it is very clear that he seems to have actively entered a big net.

But Ouyang Si was not afraid, and walked ahead with his head held high.

After entering the hall and sitting down, Ouyang Si said domineeringly, "Zhou Jue, I came here today for two purposes.

First of all, congratulations on the establishment of the Artifact Refining Association, which has become the largest artifact refining organization in the country, and has been conferred by His Majesty for making outstanding contributions to the development of the country. "

Zhou Jue nodded with a smile, disapproval flashed in his eyes.

Make outstanding contributions to the country? It seems that the Artifact Refining Guild has only just been established, and has released a 'standard', with little reaction from the outside world.

Sure enough, he is the prime minister, look at his ability to open his eyes and tell lies.

However, "the largest refining organization in the country" sounds very good, but I always feel that this statement... has a trap.

Ouyang Si paused for a while and continued: "Secondly, the country urgently needs a large number of weapons of war, and the sooner the better. As the largest weapon refining organization in the country, the Artifact Refining Association must be enough to save the country from danger.

Old man... please! "

As he said that, Ouyang Si stood up, bowed his hands and bowed to everyone.

I really came to ask for help.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

You are fooling around!

We were about to have a 'long knee-to-neck talk', but you actually surrendered.

Everyone couldn't resist for a while.

Not to mention others, even Zhang Hao was stunned. He had prepared a lot of words, but he couldn't say a word.

Hey, stand up straight, we can't afford this big gift!

(Suddenly realized that everyone is a real person. If you don’t ask for votes, you won’t vote. Come on, call me: Vote~~)
