Steel Dynasty - Chapter 90

[Chapter 90 Hidden Danger]

“Brother Wang, since His Highness refuses, it makes sense. Is Brother Wang here to make His Highness unhappy this time?” Qin Mu said lazily.

Compared to the Wang family, the Qin family is closer to Xiao Ming, but the incident in Cangzhou has greatly damaged the Qin family’s vitality, and the Qin family also has some opinions on Xiao Ming.

It’s just that they can only suppress this opinion in their hearts, because this incident tells them that the current King of Qi no longer needs to look at their faces to act.

“Brother Qin, why did you say this? I came here to make His Highness happy.” After saying that, Wang Shijie clapped his hands, and a servant of the Wang family came in carrying a box.

At this time Wang Shijie said: “Your Highness, this is a gift from my father to Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will accept it.”

After Wang Shijie finished speaking, the servant opened the box and found papers filled with words.

Xiao Ming glanced carefully, slightly surprised, and said, “This is the land deed.”

“Yes, your highness, it is the land deed. My father learned that your highness still needed a large amount of farmland, so he donated thousands of hectares of farmland outside Qingzhou City of the Wang family to your highness. “Wang Shijie said.

Xiao Ming’s eyes narrowed. His farm property in Qingzhou was only a hundred hectares. This time, the Wang family actually gave him a thousand hectares of fertile land. Although this thousand hectares was just drizzle to the Wang family, this was the first time that they gave away their land as a gift. .

But after thinking about Xiao Ming for a moment, he realized that Wang Chengchou was indeed shrewd, because for Xiao Ming, money could no longer tempt him.

Now he could only do what Xiao Ming wanted, and Xiao Ming’s move to farm was precisely because of the lack of land, and he probably understood that doing business in Qingzhou was much more profitable than farming.

“Hahaha…” Xiao Ming laughed and said, “Wang Yuanwai is really attentive. I am currently short of farmland. This comes at the right time.”

Wang Shijie laughed. It seemed that this time the father and son had guessed again. correct.

Qin Mu’s face turned ugly. He sneered and said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness, unlike Brother Wang, I have a lot of land in the six states, but I know that Your Highness is short of shipbuilding craftsmen, so I ship ships from all over the Chongqing Kingdom. The shop has bought a thousand skilled carpenters, and I hope

His Highness will accept it.” “Okay.” Xiao Ming slapped the table and looked excited.

Although the shipyard has many slaves, there are basically no people who are proficient in carpentry skills, and it will take a long time to train a group of carpenters. Now that there are a thousand skilled carpenters, he has solved his urgent need.

However, the Wang family gave away land, and the Qin family gave away craftsmen. These two families put so much thought into it, they must have known what products they were going to bring out next.

He frowned. It seemed that even though he tried his best to keep things secret, something was leaked from the Equipment Department or the Royal Palace.

Qin Mu looked proud. This time he and Wang Shijie were tied.

After secretly thinking about it for a while, Xiao Ming said, “Since you two are so sincere, I can’t disappoint you. This thing is called glass.”

“Your Highness, can you let the common people see it?” Wang Shijie and Qin Mu said at the same time.

Xiao Ming observed the expressions of the two of them and saw that they were not surprised at all by the unfamiliar term glass, but directly passed it, which further confirmed his guess.

“Of course.”

Xiao Ming waved to the servant waiting outside. The servant left and turned around to get a recently produced glass bottle.

Wang Shijie and Qin Mu’s eyes were fixed on the glass bottle in the servant’s hand, and their breathing gradually became heavier.

The two were amazed by the bottle, which was more beautiful than jade. They could already imagine how huge profits they would make from this kind of glass.

“Your Highness, this thing is truly a work of miraculous craftsmanship. Are you really prepared to sell it?” Wang Shijie said excitedly.

Qin Mu then said: “Your Highness, how should the value of such a beautiful thing be measured?”

“Since it is taken out, it is naturally for sale. Isn’t that why you two are here this time?” Xiao Ming said lightly. .

Xiao Ming opened the matter up, and Wang Shijie and Qin Mu stopped hiding it. Wang Shijie said: “Your Highness, this fat water must not flow to outsiders first.”

“What Brother Wang said is absolutely true, especially this ingenious work. Things.” Qin Mu said.

The two of you say something to me, all because they want to make the first pot of gold.

Now that Xiao Ming also has his own caravan, he naturally wants to make this first pot of gold, so he is not planning to auction the distribution rights of this glass immediately this time.

Instead, he planned to auction off the distribution rights after earning the first batch of money in half a year to maximize profits.

He said: “I understand what you mean, but I am planning to give this glass to the Qingzhou Caravan, but since you two are so sincere, I can allow you to get the goods from the Qingzhou Caravan, how about it?” “

Thank you, Your Highness! “The two of them are overjoyed.

After saying a few more thanks, the two of them left one after another. At this time, Xiao Ming’s expression darkened.

He sent someone to call Li San and Wang Xuan.

“Your Highness.” Li San and Wang Xuan arrived at the main hall at the same time. Seeing Xiao Ming’s gloomy expression, they both felt uneasy.

Now both Li San and Wang Xuan are working in the Governor’s Mansion, using their status as official servants to hide their true identities.

“I asked you to closely monitor the Equipment Department and the workshop area. Why is this glass thing still leaked?” Xiao Ming said angrily, “Today the glass thing can be leaked, but tomorrow nothing in the Equipment Department can be leaked. I have worked so hard to All the things I made were made for other people’s wedding dresses!”

Li San and Wang Xuan looked at each other, and Li San said, “Your Highness, I can guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the workshop area.” “

Wang Xuan dares to guarantee it with his life. There are no mistakes in the Equipment Department. We are monitoring all the people Chen Qi and Chen Wenlong come into contact with, and they have not interacted with anyone from a wealthy family. “

Xiao Ming said angrily: “Promise, how can you guarantee it? The fact is that the glass incident was leaked in advance.”

“Your Highness, the omission may be the palace?” Li San suddenly remembered something and said.

“Prince’s Mansion?” Xiao Ming asked with furrowed brows.

“That’s right, Your Highness, we are afraid of offending His Highness because we don’t have an informant in the palace.” Li San said.

Xiao Ming’s mood gradually calmed down. The safest place is often the place that is most easily ignored. Due to the layers of guards in the palace, neither Li San nor Wang Xuan thought that there would be problems in this place.

“This is just a guess now. You can go back.” Xiao Ming said, but he was careless about this matter. “It’s just that the secret guard has a heavy responsibility. I will give you hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every month. Once this money is spent, I will Wang wants to see the results, now is the time to prove your ability and find the person who leaked the secret.” Xiao Ming said sharply.

Wang Xuan and Li San agreed at the same time and exited the main hall.

Looking at the cardboard box that Wang Shijie moved in the main hall, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a shudder.

There were many rich people’s overt and covert spies buried around him, and this incident sounded a warning to him.
