Chapter 11

"Your Highness, I bought all the coal cakes and iron ores in Qingzhou market. The next batch of Wangs said they would wait for some time."

When the last car of coal cakes arrived at the equipment department, Chen Wenlong reported the situation to Xiao Ming.

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

"Two hundred Liang."

Xiao Ming had a pain in his flesh, like being cut. His nickname in the dormitory was Xiao Grandet. "How could this coal cake and ore be so expensive?"

Chen Wenlong gave a bitter smile and did not dare to answer.

In his opinion, it can only be Xiao Ming's fault.

When he first came to the fiefdom, the king of Qi soon mingled with the local rich families.

All day with these powerful children, bullying men and women.

When they learned that Xiao Ming didn't please the emperor and that he didn't have enough money on hand, they gave him a lot of money, which made him very popular.

However, these people's mind is not simple. Soon, the management right of Qingzhou mine was sold to these rich families by Xiao Ming.

Among them, the Wangs in Qingzhou got the most mining management rights, and the coal cake and iron ore on the market came from his family.

"Your Highness, you are wrong to blame our Wang family. The mine in Qingzhou is fifty miles away, and there is no water transport here. We can only carry it by horse. The cost will naturally double, and we Wang family can't live without making a small profit."

Just then, a frivolous voice sounded outside the door, and a handsome man in a blue satin gown and cloud boots came in.

But the man's face is a little pale, a weak look.

"Isn't this brother Shijie?"

In Xiao Ming's memory, Wang Shijie is the eldest son of the Qingzhou family, and he is also the first person in his circle of friends, and one of the four evils of Qingzhou.

"Yes, your highness!" Wang Shijie bowed slightly to Xiao Ming, holding a paper fan in his hand and arched his hand in the distance.

"No gift." Xiao Ming raises his hand.

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

This is the same as Xiao Ming's memory of Pang Yukun, but it's all preconceived memory.

Now that he is no longer Xiao Ming, he can ignore Wang Shijie, but he understands that it is inappropriate to take the civilian route now.

Because now he wants to unite all the forces he can unite to deal with the real enemy. The local aristocracy is just a contradiction within the fiefdom.

And for him, it's very important.

"Wang did not go to Yizhou to check the accounts. He never thought that his highness had captured 30 barbarian cavalry soldiers alive. He really admired him." Wang Shijie sighed with admiration.

"Where, where, brother Shijie's praise is wrong. It's just luck. These barbarians came in by mistake." Xiao Ming asked the servant to move a chair for Wang Shijie and asked, "brother Shijie just returned to Qingzhou?"

"Yes, my father said that his highness is purchasing coal cakes and iron ore in large quantities these two days. He sent me to ask how much more his highness needs?"

Xiao Ming chuckles. What Wang Shijie said is just an excuse. His real purpose is to see what these coal cakes and iron ores are used for?

"These are enough for the time being, but let the equipment department make some gadgets. If I still need them, I will go to brother Wang."

This time, Xiao Ming bought ten tons of iron ore and quite a lot of coal cakes, which he just used for craftsmen to practice.

"Easy to say, easy to say." Wang Shijie smiles.

With his understanding of Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming won't cheat him. After a pause, he suddenly got up and whispered to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, in order to thank you for your protection of Qingzhou, my father put a banquet at home tonight. Xiao Hong really wants to see your highness these two days."

When the sugar coated shells come, Xiao Ming looks strange.

In the state of Dayu, the family banquet of the rich is a very chaotic occasion. How chaotic it is is, it is basically the same as the brothel.

In addition to eating, it is basically that the noble family sends out their fair maids for entertainment.

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

Xiao Hong in his mouth is a good friend of Xiao Ming.

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

As the saying goes, eating people's mouth is short and holding people's hands is soft. Every time the Wangs hold a family dinner, the Wangs always ask for it at the last moment.

He is not stupid. If it goes on like this, the name of the fiefdom will be changed to Wang.

Seeing Xiao Ming's hesitation, Wang Shijie showed a man's understanding expression. "It's said that Princess zhenniang has given her two beauties. Is it true that your highness is a little bit happy and forgets my little red?"

"Eh? Brother Wang knows. " Xiao Mingshun said.

Wang Shijie looked envious and sighed: "unfortunately, I'm afraid there's no beauty like green rose and aster in Qingzhou. Your highness is so gorgeous. When can I have a taste of it..."Xiao Ming's face changed in a moment. Wang Shijie is a well-known starving ghost in Qingzhou. Now he has his idea on him. It's really audacious. It's the idea of green pineapple and aster.

"Brother Shijie, lvluo and aster are the maids of the imperial concubine!" Xiao Ming is right.

Just now, Wang Shijie's mind was full of the graceful figure of green pineapple and aster. When he came back, he saw Xiao Ming's dangerous eyes, and suddenly his forehead was in a cold sweat.

What he said just now is enough to say that it is treason.

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

Xiao Ming snorted coldly. Now Qingzhou's powerful people are not small. Of course, he can rectify them, but at that time his fiefdom was bound to hurt his muscles and bones. Therefore, his current idea is to make use of each other with the big families.

Such as coal and iron, he also expects these people to supply.

As for Wang Shijie, if he was Xiao Ming in the past, he would be complicit. However, when he met him, he was naturally choked this time. Therefore, he just talked in the way he used to get along with Xiao Ming.

"You might as well ask brother Shijie to go back and tell your father that I won't go to this banquet today." Xiao Ming has already driven people out.

Wang Shijie is also an individual. Xiao Ming is obviously not the way he used to be. He said, "in this way, Wang has retired."

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

Chen Wenlong is listening carefully. Now Xiao Ming is talking about something unheard of, but he can understand it.

And the appearance of these lathes will automatically appear in his mind. Gradually, the manufacturing process of lathes has been understood in his mind, and everything is so natural.

In the evening, the knowledge that should be taught is also taught. The detailed manufacturing process of scientific and technological crystal is completely transmitted, and the rest is the practice of these craftsmen.

It will take time for science and technology knowledge to reach the finished product.
