Chapter Twenty-Four: Another Pit

sent a notice to Yizhou officialdom, and Zhang De went to see Fang Qiao the next day.

As the ambassador of Hebei Province, Fang Xuanling, who interviewed several states, also knew in his heart at this moment, Hebei officialdom could not be said to be corrupt, but it was definitely not as clean as water. The mess left by the governor of Youzhou before will take two or three years to digest it.

If there is no Zhang De to help a few assassins, I am afraid that the local noble families in Hebei Province will be happy to take over. It can be said that between the yin and the yang, Zhang De helped Fang Xuanling a favor.

The officialdom of Hebei Province must not be saved by the wang clan, even if it is to be saved, it is better for the emperor to open his eyes and close his eyes than for the family to help.

"Da Lang, you have made a lot of profits here?"

Fang Qiao still had the mind to joke with Zhang De, Lao Zhang was relieved when he saw that Fang Tianwang was in a good mood, and then hurriedly took out a box of high-end gifts, with a pair of reading glasses in it, and sent it as if he were offering treasures.

"The little nephew is a cheap businessman, if it weren't for the care of your uncles, I'm afraid that I would have been ruined a long time ago. However, the little nephew is just this bit of fun, and he doesn't like his career, he is really helpless, helpless......"

After handing over the reading glasses, Fang Qiao opened them and said stunned: "Huh? Isn't this a glass mirror? ”

"If you don't dislike it, use it to see, if there is something inappropriate, grind it again."

Lao Fang didn't talk nonsense, put it on and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed: "Keming and I, we have suffered so much, and it's okay to have this thing." ”

It's good if you're happy.

"Fang Xiang, the little nephew came to Hebei, thanks to the care of the local elders, but also quite profitable. A few days ago, a boat could earn 50,000 or 60,000 yuan in one trip. ”

"A boat can run five or six times a trip. If you take it away a few times, it will be considerable. Well. Nice......"

“……”

There was silence on both sides for a while.

Then Lao Fang pulled his glasses: "Da Lang, did the old man mishear a word just now?" ”

“……”

"Fifty or sixty thousand?!"

Lao Zhang nodded.

Fang Xuanling stood up suddenly. Then the glasses were there, and he shouted, "Go down, all of you!" ”

The gate guard heard Fang Qiao's order, snorted, and immediately went outside the courtyard.

Several old servants, all of whom are from Fang's own family, are protected under the porch while their faces twitch, so that the slaves and maids do not have to approach.

"You don't have to. It's just ......"

"Fifty or sixty thousand!"

Actually, I said less, damn who knew that there was gold in that place on Tsukushi Island, and I couldn't help it. And what is the Su Wu clan, suddenly took out a pile of silver, and said that he wanted to buy silk, and he couldn't bear it.

"This matter ......"

"Except for Cangzhou, Suzhou, and Jizhou's own people, they are not very clear. In the land of Denglai, there are about thousands of guesses. "Actually, I guessed wrong, gold, silver. Lao Tzu was so frightened that the fleet was all going from Langya Mountain, and he didn't dare to dock in the Denglai area.

"Good, good."

Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty." Need help from an old man? ”

"Hey......

Fang Xuanling is a sincere person, of course, as Zaifu, he is also very competent: "Not bad." I heard that you are in the Hetao, can you have cows, horses, lambs and sheep essence for the winter? Jia clan people. Do things in your hands? ”

"Jia Fei Jia Junpeng, the patriarch of the Jia family. He is the head of animal husbandry and agriculture under my command, and he is quite capable. If the prime minister wants to expropriate the rest of the recklessness, Dedai thanked the prime minister. ”

Lao Zhang hurriedly promoted Jia Junpeng and said sincerely, "Fang Xiang knows, but it's not false." Yes, Saibei winter, now there is no shortage of fine materials, Jia Fei is busy building a thing, called the green material tower, which can be built in Hedong, Hebei. ”

After a pause, Zhang De said again: "Liaoxi, Liaodong and even the area of Goguryeo Heishui can also follow this old example. ”

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and nodded: "In this way, the old man can also turn around for you." , you know Your Majesty, remember not to swagger. ”

"Dezi is awake, and he has a comprehensive plan for coming to Hebei."

Looking at Fang Xuanling, Lao Zhang lowered his voice again, "De's workshop in Jizhou is quite productive, if it is properly deployed, it will produce 10,000 catties of molten iron per day by the end of the year." ”

This is actually cutting half of the output, in fact, Zhang De's goal is to produce 20,000 catties of molten iron per day, which sounds pretty good, but this kind of output is bullshit, and it is not interesting at all.

However, for the feudal empire, this is simply a god-like yield, which can quickly arm soldiers to the teeth.

A suit of armor is worth twenty pounds, a murderous guy counts five pounds, and then there are five pounds of garbage, seventy-seven eighty-eight, and thirty pounds of equipment is about the same.

10,000 catties a day, you can arm more than 300 people, and in a year, you can replace the waste of the Tang Army's unified military government to maintain law and order with a similar color to the current elite.

"Kumon, it's on the old man."

Fang Xuanling looked at Zhang De and remained silent, for Zhang De's workshop, Lao Fang also had a lot of inquiries, and the final result was that this workshop was demonic, very demonic.

No wonder the emperor is worried!

Zhang De's newly designed Besman converter steelmaking method has not yet been launched, but the amount of steel produced at the moment is still considerable. As long as the output of molten iron rises, the output of steel is not a problem, first wrought iron and then carburizing.

In addition, the use of coke has completely changed the way of obtaining fuel, gradually reducing the requirements for wood, and greatly increasing the furnace temperature.

The use of hydraulic forging hammers has reduced the cost of armor made in one piece, and the daily labor has been reduced to less than 10% of the original. Just the stainless steel milk cover, Zhang De secretly helped Zhang Gongjin's personal guards replace the ones sent by the Ministry of War, and even the secret notes of the military department as a supervisor were all imitated, in short, outsiders seem to have the same personal guard configuration as the governor of Dingxiang Governor's Mansion and the original taste.

Lao Zhang worked so hard, of course Fang Xuanling was very happy, but Lao Fang also had ideas, just as his boss Li Shimin was a very thoughtful person.

"If you want to take over the artifacts of the military department, it is not impossible. The two Han Dynasty also have a law, but it is just ...... The old man has a question, if others learn the method you created, what should they do? ”

"There must be a discount."

Of course, Zhang De knew what Fang Xuanling wanted to say, paused, and then said, "However, De alone has very little power, and he will always expand the workshop in the future." It's just that this place is really unsettled, and there are very few people who know each other. A comrade who likes utensils like his beloved brother is really commendable. ”

“……”

Too deliberate! It's so obvious! It's so straightforward!

Fang Xuanling was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Last year, the Lu clan was damaged, and Your Majesty won a big victory. I know it, old man, ......."

"Fang Xiang!"

Zhang De suddenly raised his voice, interrupting Fang Xuanling's words to continue, and looked up at Shang Shu's left servant, "De and Fan Yang Lu Wenyuan are also gentlemen's friends. However, if he did not want to die, he could not let the Lu family join my career. ”

At this point, Zhang De is very sober. Fang Xuanling is actually very sober, but Fang Xuanling just wants to see if Zhang De is so sober, if he is not sober, just bury a pit.

When the emperor wants to burn the Lu family one day, Fang Qiao will not frown, at most he will go back to comfort his wife. For people in this position, although they are also from local noble families, they are not as good as the five surnames and seven hopes.

Only when the front wave dies will the back wave have a chance. As an upstart, as one of the helmsmen of the feudal empire to build a harmonious society, Fang Qiao is the limitation of history, whether it is short-sightedness, if Fang's is like today's Cui family in five hundred years, he will be a meritorious, in Fang's case.

As for Zhang De, before Li Dong died, he slapped him to death with his five surnames and Qiwang, which was his bad life......

Dealing with the Four Heavenly Kings, you really can't take it seriously. The old devil is difficult to deal with, Li Jing is difficult to deal with, and Fang Mou Du Duan also has his own moves, not to mention the eldest grandson Wuji.

I'm so tired, I don't feel like I can love anymore.

In short, Fang Xuanling's words were ostensibly sad about the loss of his wife's family, and he wanted to find some compensation. This is a testimony of Shang Shuzuo's loyal love for his wife, which is exemplary.

However, if Lao Zhang is moved, he, an engineering dog, will definitely be reimbursed in advance in Zhenguan Year. He can have reason to believe that although it is very cool to join hands with the Lu family to run the coal and steel industry, the coal and steel industry will definitely involve the needs of the military department, and to put it highly, it will involve the weapons and equipment needed for national defense and security.

Lao Zhang's death must be very special.

Damn, it's true that Lao Tzu wants to be the "Cheng Luoma" or "Shen Huoyi" of Tang imperialism, but it doesn't mean that Lao Tzu is a fool who seeks his own death.

Pit, what a pit.

Lao Fang saw that Zhang De didn't make money and spoiled his brain, so he took a sip of his tongue, and then said indifferently: "The old man is here in Hebei, and he can't achieve nothing." ”

The implication is also very simple, a good official like Xue Dading and Zheng Suiben, if you help, you will help, and humanoid garbage like Liu Hongji is simply the best merit material, but you also helped, what do you mean?

Zhang De naturally knew, and hurriedly said: "Although De likes to be curious, skillful, and specializes in businessmen, he also has a heart that is loyal to the monarch and loves the people. I view the Hebei Province of the land, there are quite specialty, if the management is done properly, the people will live and work in peace and contentment. To Your Majesty, to the court, to the prime minister, and to the talents of all places in Hebei Province, it is also a gospel. ”

Then Lao Zhang took out a pamphlet, on which was written a line of small letters: Caozhou Grape Planting Examination.

"Cheng Mingzhen and you have an old relationship?"

Fang Xuanling picked out, wine can be made directly, and it is not too easy to detour. The price of wine in Kyonaka now exceeds that of Sanle soup. The reason for this is that the Western Turks and the Yi Nan Remnants are all fighting in the Western Regions, and there are some chaotic forces, mixed together, and they actually made trouble in the northeast of Persia, which is a bad debt.

Then most of the Sanle soup is landed from Feng An's territory, that is, Guangzhou, and the wine is more from the Silk Road, compared with the two, the broken wine is directly expensive into a dog, and I don't know if this is Li Simo, a large moth, or Lao Zhang, a little butterfly wandering in the Zhenguan years, to resist it......

But no matter what, when Fang Xuanling saw this book "The Examination of Grape Planting in Zhaozhou", he also had a plan in his heart.

"De has always admired Cheng Gong, but he has never seen it, and he came to Yizhou to take care of Liu Gong and match one or two."

Lao Fang smiled and threw the notebook on the desk: "It's not enough." (To be continued.) )
