Steel Dynasty - Chapter 11

[Chapter 11 Wang Family]

“Your Highness, I have bought all the coal cakes and iron ore on the market in Qingzhou. The Wang family said that the next batch will have to wait for some time.” When

the last cart of coal cakes purchased arrived at the Equipment Department, Chen Wenlong asked Xiao Ming reports the situation.

“How much money did you spend in total?” Xiao Ming asked.

“Two hundred taels.”

Xiao Ming felt pain in his body, as if his flesh had been cut. His nickname in the dormitory was Xiao Grandet. “Why are these coal cakes and ores so expensive?”

Chen Wenlong smiled bitterly. Don’t dare to answer the call.

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

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

He spends his whole day having sex with these powerful children, bullying men and dominating women.

When these wealthy children learned that Xiao Ming did not please the emperor and did not have much money, they gave Xiao Ming a lot of money, which greatly pleased Xiao Ming.

However, these people were not simple-minded, and soon the operating rights of Qingzhou Mine were sold to these wealthy families by Xiao Ming at a cabbage price.

Among them, the Wang family in Qingzhou has the largest number of mining rights. The coal cakes and iron ore on the market come from his family.

“Your Highness, you have mistakenly blamed our Wang family. The mine in Qingzhou is fifty miles away, and there is no water transportation here. It can only be carried by horse-drawn men. The cost will naturally double. If we don’t make a small profit, our Wang family will not be able to survive. “

At this moment, a frivolous voice sounded outside the door, and a handsome man wearing a blue satin gown and Tengyun boots walked in.

It’s just that the man’s face was a little pale and he looked weak.

“Isn’t this brother Shijie?”

In Xiao Ming’s memory, this Wang Shijie is the eldest son of the Wang family, a wealthy family in Qingzhou. He is also the first in his circle of friends in Qingzhou. He is considered one of the four evils in Qingzhou by the people.

“I have met His Highness!” Wang Shijie bowed slightly to Xiao Ming, holding a paper fan in his hand and holding it 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 these are preconceived memories.

Now he is no longer the Xiao Ming he used to be. He could have ignored 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. This local wealthy family is just an internal conflict within the fiefdom.

And it is of great value to him.

“Wang went to Yizhou to check the accounts. I never thought that His Highness would capture thirty barbarian cavalry alive with his own hands. Wang really admires and admires him.” Wang Shijie sighed with admiration on his face.

“Brother Shijie is so ridiculous. It’s just luck. These barbarians bumped in by mistake.” Xiao Ming asked the servant to move a chair for Wang Shijie to sit on, and asked: “Brother Shijie just got there.” “Back to Qingzhou?”

“Exactly, my father said that His Highness has been purchasing coal cakes and iron ore in large quantities these days. He sent me to ask how much more His Highness needs?”

Xiao Ming secretly laughed. What Wang Shijie said was just an excuse. The purpose is probably to see what these coal cakes and iron ore are used for?

“These are enough for the time being. I just asked the Equipment Department to make some gadgets. If you still need them, I will go to Brother Wang.”

This time Xiao Ming bought ten tons of iron ore and a considerable amount of coal cakes. He just used these things to practice his craftsmanship.

“Easy to say, easy to say.” Wang Shijie smiled.

Based on his understanding of Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming would not lie to him. After a pause, he suddenly stood up and said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness, in order to thank you for protecting Qingzhou, my father held a banquet at home tonight. Xiao Hong I’ve missed His Highness very much these past two days.”

The sugar-coated bomb came, and Xiao Ming looked strange.

In Dayu, the family banquet of a wealthy family is a very messy occasion. It is basically the same as a brothel.

In addition to eating, basically the wealthy family sent out their pretty maids for the entertainment of their guests and masters.

Wang Shijie liked this very much. When Xiao Ming was with him in the past, this kind of thing was inevitable.

The little red in his mouth was a former lover of Xiao Ming.

“This…” As a man, it is abnormal not to be tempted, but now Xiao Ming really doesn’t want to go.

As the saying goes, eating people is short-tongued and soft-handed. Every time the Wang family holds a family banquet, the Wang family always makes demands at the last minute.

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

Seeing Xiao Ming’s hesitant look, Wang Shijie showed an expression that every man would understand, “I heard that Concubine Zhen gave His Highness two beauties. Is it possible that Your Highness is a little too happy to miss Shu and has forgotten about my little red.”

“Eh? “

Brother Wang just needs to know,” Xiao Ming said.

Wang Shijie showed an envious look and sighed: “It’s a pity that after searching all over Qingzhou, I’m afraid there’s no one as beautiful as Pothos and Aster. Your Highness is so beautiful, when can I let my little brother have a taste of it…”

Xiao Ming’s expression changed instantly. , this Wang Shijie is a well-known lustful ghost in Qingzhou, and now he has actually set his sights on him. He is so bold and lusty. This is the idea of Pothos and Aster.

“Brother Shijie, Luluo and Ziyuan are the concubine’s personal maids!” Xiao Ming said seriously.

Wang Shijie’s mind just now was filled with the slender figures of Pothos and Aster. When he came back to his senses, he saw Xiao Ming’s dangerous eyes and suddenly a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What he just said was treasonous enough to say the least.

“Your Highness, calm down, I’m really confused.” Wang Shijie carefully kept his smile.

Xiao Ming snorted coldly. Nowadays, the power of the Qingzhou clan is not small. Although he can control them, his fiefdom will definitely be damaged at that time, so his current ideas and the clan’s mutual use.

For example, he still expected these people to supply coal and iron.

As for Wang Shijie, Xiao Ming would have been colluding in the past, but when he met him, he naturally held back this time, so he just spoke according to the way he had gotten along with Xiao Ming before.

“It doesn’t matter. I’d like to ask Brother Shijie to go back and report to your Majesty that I won’t be going to this banquet today.” Xiao Ming had already sent people away.

Wang Shijie is also a good person, and Xiao Ming is obviously not on the same path as before. He said: “In this case, Wang resigns.”

Seeing Wang Shijie leave the equipment department, Xiao Ming continued to teach the craftsmen how to make and use lathes.

Chen Wenlong was also listening carefully. It was clear that what Xiao Ming was talking about was something he had never heard of before, but he could understand it.

And the images of these lathes automatically appeared in his mind. Gradually, the manufacturing process of lathes became clear in his mind, and everything seemed so natural.

In the evening, the knowledge that should be imparted was also imparted. The detailed manufacturing process of technological crystals was completely transmitted, and the rest was practiced by these craftsmen.

Just talking without practicing tricks, it still takes time to turn scientific and technological knowledge into finished products.
