"Your Highness, I bought all the briquettes and iron ore in Qingshi, and the next batch of Wang said that it would take some time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The last car of briquettes purchased arrived at the Equipment Division, and Chen Wenlong explained the situation to Xiao Ming.

"How much money did it cost?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Two hundred taels."

Xiao Ming had a pain in his flesh, as if he had been cut into the flesh, and his nickname in the dormitory was Xiao. Grande, "How can this briquette and ore be so expensive?" ”

Chen Wenlong smiled bitterly and didn't dare to answer.

In his opinion, Xiao Ming can only be blamed for this.

When he first came to the fiefdom, this dignified king of Qi quickly mingled with the children of the local wealthy families.

Playing with these powerful children all day long, bullying men and women.

These children of the wealthy family learned that Xiao Ming did not like the emperor and that the money on hand was not abundant, so they sent a lot of money to Xiao Ming, which was deeply pleasing to Xiao Ming.

However, these people's minds are not pure, and soon the management rights of the Qingzhou mine were sold to these wealthy families by Xiao Ming at the price of cabbage.

Among them, the Qingzhou Wang family got the most mine management rights, and the briquettes and iron ore on the market came from his family.

"Your Royal Highness, you can blame our Wang family for this, this Qingzhou mine is fifty miles away, and there is no transportation here, so it can only be carried by horse-drawn people, the cost will naturally double, and if we don't make a small profit, our Wang family will not be able to survive."

At this moment, a flirtatious voice sounded outside the door, and a handsome man wearing a blue satin robe and cloud boots walked in.

It's just that the man's face is a little pale and he looks weak.

"Isn't this Brother Shijie?"

In Xiao Ming's memory, this Wang Shijie is the eldest son of the Wang family of the Qingzhou family, and he is also the first in his Qingzhou fox friend circle, one of the four evils of Qingzhou in the mouth of the people.

"I've seen Your Highness!" Wang Shijie bowed slightly to Xiao Ming, holding a paper fan in his hand.

"No courtesy." Xiao Ming raised his hand.

He is not Xiao Ming now, but Xiao Ming's love for Wang Shijie in his memory can still affect him.

This is the same as Xiao Ming's memory of Pang Yukun will also affect him, but this is all a preconceived memory.

Now that he is no longer the Xiao Ming he used to be, he could have ignored this Wang Shijie, but he understands that it is inappropriate to take the civilian route now.

Because now he wants to unite all the forces that can be united to deal with the real enemy, and this local noble clan is nothing more than a contradiction within the fiefdom.

And for him, there is also a very important value.

"Wang didn't go to Yizhou to check the accounts, and he never thought that His Royal Highness would personally capture thirty barbarian cavalry alive, which really made Wang admire and admire." Wang Shijie looked embarrassed and showed admiration.

"Where is it, Brother Shijie praised it falsely, but it was luck, and these barbarians also came in by mistake." Xiao Ming asked the messenger to move a chair for Wang Shijie to sit on, and asked, "Brother Shijie just returned to Qingzhou?" ”

"Exactly, my father said that His Highness has been buying briquettes and iron ore in large quantities in the past two days, and sent me to ask His Highness how much more he needs?"

Xiao Ming smiled secretly, what Wang Shijie said was just an excuse, the real purpose was probably to see what this batch of briquettes and iron ore was used for?

"These are enough for the time being, but it's just for the equipment department to make some gadgets, and if I need it, I will go to Brother Wang."

Xiao Ming bought ten tons of iron ore this time, and there was also a considerable amount of briquettes, which he just used to practice for craftsmen.

"Well said, well said." Wang Shijie smiled.

With his understanding of Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming would not lie to him, and after a pause, he suddenly got up and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, in order to thank you for your protection of Qingzhou, my father set up a banquet at home tonight, and Xiaohong has missed His Royal Highness very much in the past two days." ”

The sugar-coated cannonball came, and Xiao Ming looked weird.

In the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the family banquet of the wealthy family is a very chaotic occasion, how chaotic it is, it is basically no different from the Qinglou.

In addition to eating, it is basically the wealthy family who sends the handmaidens of the family who are still in good shape for the entertainment of the guests and the host.

This Wang Shijie likes this very much, when Xiao Ming was with him in the past, this kind of thing was inevitable.

The little red in his mouth is Xiao Ming's former friend.

"This ......" As a man, it is not normal not to be tempted, but now Xiao Ming really doesn't want to go now.

As the saying goes, eating people with a short mouth and taking people with soft hands, every time the Wang family holds a family banquet, the Wang family will always make a request at the last moment.

He is not stupid, if this continues, the name of this fief will be changed to Wang.

Seeing Xiao Ming's hesitation, Wang Shijie showed an expression that all men understand, "I heard that Concubine Zhen gave His Royal Highness two beauties, isn't His Highness a little happy and forgot about my family's Xiaohong." ”

"Ae? Brother Wang can know. Xiao Ming said in passing.

Wang Shijie showed a look of envy and sighed: "It's a pity, I'm afraid there is no beauty comparable to pothos and aster in Qingzhou, Your Highness is so glamorous, when can I let my little brother taste it......"

Xiao Ming's expression changed instantly, this Wang Shijie is a well-known hungry ghost in Qingzhou, and now he actually hit him with the idea, it is really cowardly, this is the idea of playing pothos and aster.

"Brother Shijie, pothos and aster are the personal maids of the mother's concubine!" Xiao Ming said.

Wang Shijie's mind was full of pothos and aster just now, and when he came back to his senses at this time, he saw Xiao Ming's dangerous eyes, and suddenly a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What he just said is enough to say that it is a great rebellion.

"Your Highness is angry, I'm really confused." Wang Shijie cautiously accompanied the smiling face.

Xiao Ming snorted coldly, now the power of the Qingzhou clan is not small, he can certainly rectify them, but at that time, his fiefdom will inevitably hurt his muscles and bones, so his current idea and the big clan use each other.

For example, he counted on these people for coal and iron.

As for Wang Shijie, if it was Xiao Ming in the past, it is estimated that he would be complicit, but when he met him, he was naturally stunned this time, so he just spoke according to the way he got along with Xiao Ming before.

"It's okay, I also ask Brother Shijie to go back to show his father, I won't go to this banquet today." Xiao Ming has already driven people away.

Wang Shijie is also a good person, Xiao Ming is obviously not the way before, he said: "In this way, Wang has retired." ”

Seeing Wang Shizhuo in the instrument department, Xiao Ming continued to teach craftsmen how to make lathes and use lathes.

Chen Wenlong was also listening carefully, now it was clear that Xiao Ming was talking about something unheard of, but he could understand it.

And the appearance of these lathes will automatically appear in his mind, and gradually, the manufacturing process of lathes has become clear in his mind, and everything is so natural.

In the evening, the knowledge that should be taught was also imparted, and the detailed manufacturing process of the technology hedron was all transmitted, and the rest was practiced by these craftsmen.

It still takes time to just talk about it and not practice fake tricks, and it will take time for scientific and technological knowledge to reach the finished product.
