"Alright, pay attention to annealing."

After the order, Zhang De took off the goggles and leather skirt, threw the leather gloves on the toolbox, took the herbal tea handed by Zhang Qian, poured it, and then let out a long sigh: "This weather is so fucking hot!" ”

"It's not yet hot yet."

"Get some late spring coarse tea, break some more, and have to prepare it for the workers."

"It's all been ordered, the newly made broken leaves are bitter, and the tea taste is okay."

The group walked out, Zhang De tidied up a little, washed his face, and then changed into regular clothes and went to the pre-storage warehouse outside the operation room.

The treasury is golden, eye-catching, if you don't know how to see these metal products, most of them think it's gold.

In fact, these are relatively rudimentary brass.

Although calamine is only used as an oxidant and charcoal as a reducing agent, the quality of the finished product is still okay.

Zhang Demao calculated that the zinc content should be below 30 percent, and how accurate it should be is not something he is willing to do.

Brass products are mainly used for the fleet, and the people from the Wuhan Records Department saw the brass and wanted to go to the imperial court so that they could use it as copper coins.

But as soon as the cost was calculated, the idea was immediately dispelled.

At present, there is still a serious shortage of copper, and although there are Iyo Copper Mountains excavating, even if there are ten more Iyo Copper Mountains, they will not be able to cope with the current demand at all.

"Sect Chief, Jiangyin has a letter and asks Sect Chief how to reply to the Xu family?"

Whether it is as a document to observe the embassy or as a child of his own family, Zhang Qian still has a good understanding of Zhang De's current situation.

Because of the existence of Princess Changle, the emperor or the empress or both, would never watch Zhang De get married so smoothly. Not to mention the many benefits, just talk about personal feelings, it is unacceptable.

It's nothing to drag like this, it's okay.

But Huzhou Xu came out to speak about this matter from time to time, which also made people upset.

"Let's see what the Xu family wants? It doesn't matter, and it's not convenient to give it anything. ”

"Yes." Zhang Qian responded, thought about it and said, "That's ...... Lang Jun, I just went to talk to the people of the Xu family? ”

"You're going in person?"

Zhang De was a little surprised.

"I have an official body, and the people from my hometown have gone to Huzhou, I'm afraid that someone will underestimate me." After that, Zhang Qian said again, "Besides, go back to Jiangyin first, ask Uncle Tan to write a few letters, and then go to old friends along the way to ask, Xu has no reason to act like this, someone must be provoking." If it is Xu's own family, it will be gained, if it is an outsider, if you don't kill chickens and monkeys, how can you rest? ”

After thinking about it, it made sense, Zhang De frowned slightly, and muttered for a while: "You pick some people to take with you, and I will give you two months of leave." ”

"Yes."

After Zhang Qian left, Lao Zhang sighed himself: "Damn, it's so difficult to get married." Back then, the sentence 'There is a girl named Xiaofang in the village', how many things have come out. ”

For the sake of this "Xiaofang", they also suffered from the affection of Wei Chi Ritian and Cheng Caodi, and from the outsider's point of view, it is natural that the two old bastards want to leave a way out for their children and grandchildren to form a good fate. But when Lao Zhang was able to pass safely from Li Dong's hands, Uncle Zhang's handsome face alone was not enough.

The Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate protects the capital, this is the weight.

As for Cheng Zhijie's later falling out with his son, that's a later story. But even so, now people in Beijing and Beijing have to praise Cheng Zhijie for their "unique vision".

raised a hand of Zhang De, and then his son Cheng Chubi is in the limelight at the moment, which is simply the future "Anxi Metropolitan Protector" of the Imperial Protector. Generals under the age of thirty can be placed on the emperor's desk to savor, and there is only such a thing at present.

And this is also the second generation of Yuanmou heroes, and the eldest grandson Chong can be called the double of the empire.

Of course, no one would set up such a flag for the eldest cousin and Cheng Chubi, such a name for the second middle school, if you don't do it, you will be killed......

Speaking of doing a cannon, the cannon that Lao Zhang gave Cui Mingyue finally had a result.

Cui Hongdao, who felt very embarrassed, secretly asked people to come over to congratulate. His grandson is a "traitorous son", and it is a shame to be ashamed, but it also depends on who it is. can escort Cui's Xuzhou house and get promoted and make a fortune, what is the mere face, anyway, Cui Hongdao has no intention of making a big deal in Xuzhou.

"Ah Lang, why did you choose a name? I also thought of a lot of good words, and went to Cao Fuzi to beg. Li Xiaolang also helped. ”

"What's in mind about a name?"

Lao Zhang responded casually, and then flipped through several large boxes of stationery brought from Chang'an, and couldn't help but rub his temples again. Compared with not being able to marry a wife, how to deal with the girls in Chang'an is a headache, and it is more annoying than dealing with the extortion of the eldest grandson.

"Even if you don't think about it, you can't just call it Zhang E. It used to be called Zhang Wei......"

"Isn't that good?"

Still responding casually, Lao Zhang spread out a piece of letterhead, which read: Shiyun Jingnu, to the non-Jingnu?

If it weren't for the princess's writing, Lao Zhang would have tore it up directly.

Alas......

With a sigh, Lao Zhang felt that he had to sigh.

"What's good, one day someone will give birth to one for you in Cangzhou, and it may not be called Zhang Cang."

“……”

Suddenly, Lao Zhang's back skin was a little numb, and he always felt that some things still couldn't be bald while sleeping. Glancing at the "white silk" made of the best Susi, Lao Zhang now had a thought in his mind: Without stretch cotton Lycra cotton, how did those weaver girls make it so elastic?

"Why didn't Ah Lang speak?"

A certain maid from Chang'an, who was still sour, was carefully picking the meat of the walnut, "There is also Zheng Niangzi who was born in Luoyang, and her name is Zhang Luoshui." In the future, if I am born in Jiangyin, if it is a girl, I may not necessarily be called Zhang Changjiang or Zhang Yangzi, right? The girl took such a name, I was afraid that she would be laughed to death. Ah Lang has long been known for his talents, and he has Master Lu as his teacher, so he can't always name his children like this. ”

"When will Lao Tzu Jiangyin say it? Besides, what's wrong with Zhang Changjiang? How domineering. ”

Boom.

A walnut was thrown on Lao Zhang's head, and Lao Zhang subconsciously replied: "Why is Mei Niang still so ......"

Although she braked urgently, the white silk maid still looked mentally retarded with an expression on her face, and slowly peeled the walnut meat: "Ah Lang is really powerful, a talent among lewd thieves." ”

Speaking of lewd thieves...... Lao Zhang recalled the moment when he accompanied Shi Dazhong to be dominated by the princesses, fortunately, he easily passed the corner and did not overturn.

"What kind of thief, what am I like, others don't know, don't you know?"

"What do I know?"

The white silk maid's two long legs rubbed for a while, reclining on the pillow, staggered together on the chaise longue, and her slightly moist lips were holding a peeled flesh, the fat of walnut flesh, which looked quite attractive under the dim light.

"Bring me a walnut too."
