Chapter 24 Another pit
He sent a notice to the Yizhou officialdom, and Zhang De went to see Fang Qiao the next day.
As the ambassador for the promotion and demotion of Hebei Province, Fang Xuanling, who interviewed several states, knew it at this moment. The Hebei officialdom cannot be said to be corrupt, but it is absolutely impossible to say that it is as honest as water. The mess left by the governor of Youzhou before will take two or three years to digest it.
If Zhang De hadn't helped several governors to make a turnaround, I'm afraid the local prominent tribes in Hebei Road would be happy to take over. It can be said that by accident, Zhang De helped Fang Xuanling a favor.
The officialdom of Hebei Province must not be saved by prominent families. Even if it is to be saved, the emperor will turn a blind eye, which is better than the aristocratic family to help.
"Dalang, is it a great profit here?"
Fang Qiao was still intent on joking with Zhang De. When Lao Zhang saw that Fang Tianwang was in a good mood, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then he quickly took out a box of high-end gifts, which contained a pair of reading glasses, and gave them to him like offering treasures.
"I am doing this business with a lowly business. If I were not for the care of my uncle Shi, I would have been ruined. However, my nephew had only such a little fun and was not interested in the career. I was really helpless, helpless..."
After handing over the reading glasses, Fang Qiao opened them and looked at them, saying, "Huh? Isn't this a glass mirror?"
"If Fang Xiang doesn't dislike it, use it and see if it's a little inappropriate, then grind it with another one."
Lao Fang didn't say anything nonsense. When he put it on, he was overjoyed: "I and Keming have suffered so much and have this thing, it's fine."
Just be happy.
"Secretary Fang, my nephew is here to come to Hebei, thanks to the local elders' care, and he has made a lot of profits. A few days ago, I could make 50,000 or 60,000 yuan in one boat."
"A boat can be five or six straits at a time. If you take it away a few times, it will be quite impressive. Well, it's not bad..."
“…”
Both sides were silent for a while.
Then the old house pulled his glasses and said, "Dalang, did I misread a word just now?"
“…”
"Fifty or sixty thousand coins?"
Lao Zhang nodded.
Fang Xuanling stood up suddenly, then his glasses were bulging there, and then shouted: "You all go down!"
The access guard heard Fang Qiao's order, and immediately went outside the yard.
Several old servants, all of Fang's family, were twitching and protected the corridor, so that the servants would not have to get close to them.
"There is no need for the appearance of the house, it's just..."
"Fifty or sixty thousand coins!"
I actually said it was too little. Who knew that gold was dug in Zhuzi Island, and I had no choice. There was also that Suwo family, who suddenly took out a pile of silver and said that they wanted to buy silk, but they couldn't stand it.
"This matter..."
"Only people from Cangzhou, Suzhou and Jizhou are not very clear. There is a lot of guesses about the land of Denglai." In fact, they were all wrong, gold and silver. I was so scared that I let the fleet go from Langya Mountain and didn't dare to dock in Denglai.
“Okay, very good.”
Fang Xuanling's eyes were shining, "Your Majesty, do you need my help?"
"hey-hey……"
Fang Xuanling is a honest man, of course, as a prime minister, he is also very competent: "No, I heard that you can have cattle, horses, lambs and essences for winter in Hetao? The Jia clan members, do things in your hands, right?"
"Jia Fei and Jia Junpeng, the Jia family is the chief chief of the Shizong, is my commander of animal husbandry and farming. He is quite capable. If the Fang Xiang wants to conquer the rest of the wild, the Despotics will thank the Fang Xiang for his behalf."
Lao Zhang quickly promoted Jia Junpeng and said sincerely, "It's not fake what the house knows. It's not bad. It's winter in the north, and there's really no shortage of essence materials now. Jia Fei is busy building something called Qingliu Tower, which can be built in Hedong, Hebei."
After a pause, Zhang De said again: "This old rule can also be followed in western Liaoning and even in the Hei River in Goguryeo."
Fang Xuanling nodded with his head and said, "In this way, I can also be gentle with you. If you do, you know Your Majesty, remember not to show off."
"De was awakened, and he also had a comprehensive plan when he came to Hebei."
Looking at Fang Xuanling, Lao Zhang lowered his voice again, "De is in the workshop in Jizhou, and it has a lot of output. If it is properly matched, it will be no problem to produce 10,000 kilograms of molten iron at the end of the year."
This actually cut half of the output. In fact, Zhang De's goal was to produce 20,000 kilograms of molten iron every day, which sounds pretty good, but this output is bullshit and has no meaning at all.
However, for the feudal empire, this was a god-like output, which could quickly arm soldiers to their teeth.
A piece of armor is simply worth twenty kilograms, a killer is counted five kilograms, and another five kilograms of garbage, thirty kilograms of equipment is about the same.
Ten thousand kilograms a day can arm about 300 people, and in a year the waste of the military government, which maintained public order, can be replaced with goods similar to those of the current elite.
"The official document is on me."
Fang Xuanling looked at Zhang De without hesitation. The old house also inquired about Zhang De's workshop. The final result was that this workshop was very monster.
No wonder the emperor is thinking about it!
Zhang De's newly designed Besman converter steelmaking method has not yet been launched, but the steel output is still considerable at this moment. As long as the iron production increases, the steel production is not a problem. First, we should cook iron and then carburize.
Another thing is that the utilization of coke has completely changed the way of fuel acquisition, gradually reduced the requirements for wood, and greatly increased the furnace temperature.
The use of hydraulic forging hammers has reduced the cost of the integrated armor, and the daily labor has been reduced to less than 10% of the original. With just the fine steel braised hood, Zhang De secretly helped Zhang Gongjin's personal guard replace the Ministry of War dispatched by the Ministry of War, and even the secret notes of the generals of the Ministry of War were imitated. In short, outsiders seem to have the same configuration of the personal guards of the governor of the Dingxiang Governor's Office.
Fang Xuanling was of course very happy that Lao Zhang worked so hard, but Lao Fang also had ideas, just as his boss Li Shimin is a very thoughtful person.
"It's not impossible for you to take over the weapons. There are also successful methods in the Han Dynasty, but... I asked, what should others learn about your creation methods?"
“There must be a discount.”
Of course, Zhang De knew what Fang Xuanling wanted to say, paused, and then said, "However, De himself has very little power, and he will always expand the workshop in the future. However, this site is really not settled, and he is familiar with his friends and has very few people who know this. It is really rare to be a comrade who likes artifacts like Brother Yi Ai."
“…”
Too deliberate! Too obvious! Too direct!
Fang Xuanling was a little embarrassed and whispered: "Last year, Lu was damaged, and Your Majesty won a great victory. I also know that, I..."
"Fang Photo!"
Zhang De suddenly raised his voice, interrupted Fang Xuanling's words to continue, looked up at Shangshu Zuo Pushe, "De and Fan Yang Lu Wenyuan are also friends of gentlemen. However, if De did not want to die, he would not allow Lu to enter my career."
Zhang De was very sober in this regard. Fang Xuanling was actually very sober, but Fang Xuanling just wanted to see if Zhang De was sober. If he was not sober, just bury a pit.
When the emperor wants to burn the Lu family one day, Fang Qiao will not frown, and at most go back to comfort his wife. Local prominent families are one. For people like Fangmou Duan, they are of course from local prominent families, but they are not as good as the five surnames and seven hopes.
Only when the previous wave dies will the next wave have a chance. As a newcomer and one of the helmsmen of the feudal empire to build a harmonious society, Fang Qiao is a limitation of history or a short-sighted vision. If Fang's family is like Cui's current family five hundred years later, he will have a great success, for Fang's family.
As for Zhang De, before Li Dong died, he slapped him and his five surnames and Qi Wangs to death. That was his fate...
It is true that you can't take it seriously when dealing with the four heavenly kings. It's hard to deal with the old devil, Li Jing, and Fang Mou Duan also has their own tricks, let alone Changsun Wuji.
Very tired, I feel I won't love you anymore.
In short, Fang Xuanling's words appeared to be heartbroken for the loss at his wife's family and wanted to find some compensation. This is a testimony to the loyal love of Shangshu Zuo Pushe to his wife, and it is a model.
However, if Lao Zhang was moved, his engineering dog would definitely be reimbursed in advance in the Zhenguan year. He could have reason to believe that although it would be great to join forces with Lu to operate the coal-steel industrial body, the coal-steel industrial body would definitely involve the needs of the Ministry of War. To put it more generously, it involves the weapons and equipment required for national defense and security.
Lao Zhang's way of death must be very special.
Damn, it is true that I want to be the "Cheng Luo Ma" or "Shen Huoyi" of the Tang Dynasty imperialism, but it does not mean that I am an idiot who seeks death.
It's so fucking tricky.
Seeing that Zhang De had no money to make money, the old house took a sip of his tongue and said calmly: "I am here to come to Hebei, but I can't achieve nothing."
The implication is also very simple. If you help a good official like Xue Dading and Zheng Suiben, you will help him. If you like Liu Hongji, a human-shaped garbage is simply the best merit material, but you will also help him. How many meanings?
Zhang De naturally knew it and hurriedly said, "Although De likes curious skills and is specialized in business and lowly business, he also has a loyal heart to the emperor and love the people. I see that all the places in Hebei Road have a lot of specialties. If the management is done properly, the people will definitely live and work in peace. To Your Majesty, to the court, to the court, to the court, to the Hebei Road, to the talents are all gospel."
Then Lao Zhang took out a booklet with a line of small words: Mingzhou grape planting test.
"Hong Mingzhen and you have an old age?"
Fang Xuanling picked it up and said that wine can be brewed directly, so it is not too easy to detour. The price of wine in Beijing now exceeds Sanle Tang. The reason is that the Western Turks and the male remnants of the barbarians were both fighting in the Western Regions, and there were some messy forces mixed together, and they actually made a mess in northeastern Persia, which was a bad debt.
Then most of the Sanle Tang came ashore from Feng Ang's territory, that is, Guangzhou, and the wine came more from the Silk Road. Compared with the two, Duandun's wine was expensive and it was not known whether it was Li Simo, a big-sized man, or Lao Zhang, a small butterfly who was wandering in the Zhenguan period, fought against it...
But no matter what, Fang Xuanling was also worried about this book "Mingzhou Grape Planting Examination".
"De has always admired Mr. Cheng, but he has never seen him. This is because he came to Yizhou to take care of Mr. Liu and make a connection."
Lao Fang smiled and threw the notebook on the desk: "It's not enough."
