An old bolt also realized that he shouldn't be loud, so he swallowed hard at the moment and whispered: "Is 60,000 a copper plate or a string of money?" ”

If it is a copper plate, it is 60,000 copper coins, which is converted into a maximum of 100 yuan.

If it's a string of money, it's scary, Datang's string of copper coins is recorded as consistent, and 60,000 strings of money is 60,000 yuan.

Lu Sanye glanced at him and said with a smile: "The balance of the twenty truckloads of goods, do you say it is a copper plate or a string of money?" ”

Needless to say, the answer to this question has been clarified, and the old bolt only felt trembling all over, and it took a long time before he said in a trembling voice: "These 60,000 yuan are all my money from Tiezhen?" ”

Lu Sanye also seemed to be a little envious, and couldn't help but pat Lao Tie on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Yes, you are up in the iron town, and you will never be poor again in the future." 60,000 is just a month's payment, and there will be a second 60,000, a third 60,000, and many more than 60,000 in the future. ”

"This is the blessing of His Royal Highness...... "The old bolt suddenly said and said solemnly: "The son of my family once said that the iron town is entrusted with the blessing of His Royal Highness. ”

"You're right!"

Lu Sanye also nodded solemnly, and analyzed: "In the past, one pound of fine iron cost fifty yuan, and you can make a hoe at least three pounds of iron, and the cost is one hundred and fifty yuan." How much can a hoe sell for? The old man remembered that he could sell up to 160 wen, which meant that the surplus was only 10wen. But this ten cents is not easy to come by, first to deduct the charcoal, and then to deduct the loss, even if the iron is not calculated, you can only earn five cents with a hoe. ”

The old bolt nodded frequently, and said gloomily: "Tired and tired to earn five wen, sometimes five wen may not be earned." Therefore, all the iron-striking people are poor, and many good children can't even ask for a daughter-in-law. ”

Lu Sanye nodded, and then said: "But now it's different, His Highness is mining iron mines in the northeast and establishing the largest smelting plant in the world. A pound of fine iron costs three yuan, and it is only sold for five yuan when it is transported to the customs. In the past, fifty wen, now it sells five wen, old bolt, the iron town can make a fortune not because the technology has improved, but because the refined iron purchased is cheaper. ”

He paused at this point, looked at the town with envy, and muttered: "Five wen is a pound of pig iron, and fifteen wen can make a hoe." But now the hoe can still be sold for more than 100 yuan, and your profit has more than increased tenfold. I earn 60,000 yuan a month, and I'm afraid that it will scare many people to death, the old man claims to be from a family, but I can't make so much money in a year. ”

The old bolt scratched his head honestly, not knowing how to answer.

Lu Sanye didn't continue the topic, turned around abruptly and gave an order to the convoy, and said loudly: "Unload the truck, load the goods." ”

Fifty carts of fine iron were to be unloaded, and then fifty carts of goods were to be loaded. It would take a busy morning, and the blacksmiths of the whole town came out to help.

Ordinary people are responsible for unloading and loading, but Lu Sanye has to go to the yamen of the town government to go through the formalities, the old bolt is loyal and peaceful, and shouted from a distance behind him, saying: "The third master is busy with business, remember to come to the house to sit, I let the mother-in-law stew an old hen......"

Lu Sanye seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and turned around and solemnly promised: "The old man will definitely go, so it is better to choose it at noon." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a handful of candy from his arms, threw it to the snotty bubbled grandson of the old bolt, smiled in his mouth, and said softly: "Stinky doll save some food, this is the Northeast milk candy you want." ”

The little kid cheered and ran away grabbing the candy wind.

Lu Sanye laughed again, leaving the convoy to unload, but he himself went straight to the center of the town, and some procedures needed to be handed over for unloading and loading.

His figure slowly walked away, and the old bolt was about to turn around and go back to the blacksmith's shop, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves at the gate of the town, and hundreds of people were galloping here.

The old bolt looked back in surprise, and his eyes shrank suddenly.

Although he was an honest blacksmith, his son had participated in the government after all. In the past few years, the old bolt has also heard some things, and at first glance he noticed the clothes of the people who came, as well as the curved broadsword worn at his waist.

"This is a Tibetan person?"

Lao Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly remembered that his son had told him that Tubo and the Tang Dynasty were enemies, and the two countries had fought several big battles.

This is the second team to come to town today.

Seeing the team of people galloping wildly, the old bolt subconsciously shrank his head, he raised his feet and wanted to hide back to the blacksmith shop, but the next moment his eyes suddenly cracked, and he shouted in horror:

"Little baby, get out of the ......"

The sound of hooves rumbled, the dust flew, and suddenly a figure was directly knocked away by the healthy horse, and after a while, it slammed into the ground.

It was a bubbling little kid with a snot bubble, and he was still holding candy in his hand.

There was still a touch of joy on his little face, as if he was happy that he had received a gift, even if he was hit, he didn't react, but passed out directly with joy.

"Little baby, my little baby!"

The old bolt let out an earth-shattering scream and ran over with a wild roar.

He picked up his little grandson from the ground, and found that his grandson was covered with blood between his mouth and nose. He looked up angrily at the knights, only to see a piece of broken silver floating around.

"Han people, I know that you Datang are very poor. This piece of silver is given to you, which is the cost of medicine for the child......"

The old bolt didn't take the broken silver, he just stared at the other party angrily.

The next moment, the knight who threw the silver drew his sword in his hand and said viciously: "You pariah, you really deserve to die, you dare to look at the noble Tibetan warrior with such eyes." ”

With a flick of his scimitar in his hand, he was about to slash at the old bolt's neck.

This action was unexpected by everyone, no one expected the Tubo people to be so arrogant, not only did they not apologize, but they drew knives and killed people.

Someone from the Lu family caravan rushed over angrily, but unfortunately the distance was too far, and even if they rushed over, they might not be able to save the old bolt.

"Stop!"

At this critical moment, a soft shout suddenly sounded in the Tibetan ranks.

But listening to a person's thick voice, he said unhappily: "Cangyang Jialong, this is the boundary of the Tang Dynasty." The implication is self-evident, but it is a warning to knights who want to kill not to be too arrogant.

The knight laughed and said proudly: "Be careful, the Han people have been weak and can ......be bullied since ancient times."

The crowd suddenly jumped out of the way, but when he saw a white-faced middle-aged man riding out, he rode up to the knight and said coldly: "You have caused trouble a few times along the way, and you dare to go back to Tubo by yourself." We are here for an envoy, have you forgotten Songtsen Gampo's advice? Don't think that you can be presumptuous because you are a royal family, this prime minister has the right to kill disobedient people. ”

The knight rolled his eyes and put the knife back into his waist, but he still gave the old bolt a vicious look and threatened: "If you dare to grit your teeth again, I will immediately draw my sword and kill you." ”

……

…… The second shift is coming, the Tubo people are finally here, and then there are people from Japan who are coming
