Zhang Hao followed the princess to the pavilion where he met last time, and the princess walked into the pavilion.

Zhang Hao naturally had to follow.

Unexpectedly, the two female guards turned around suddenly, blocked the pavilion, stretched out their arms from left to right, and stopped Zhang Hao.

Among them, Hu Yinglan said coldly: "Please stop!"

Zhang Hao touched his nose helplessly, but had to stop.

Well, last time, even the City Lord Liu Jingming was standing outside, and it was nothing to stand by himself. Young Master Zhang could only comfort his injured heart like this.

The princess sat down slowly and spoke gently. The slightly magnetic hoarse voice spread like clear waves, "Mr. Zhang, I have two news, one good news and the other bad news. Which one do you want to listen to?"

Zhang Hao laughed happily: "Your Highness, it's a coincidence that I have two news here, one good news and one bad news."

Princess:...I've never seen you so naughty~~~

The princess helplessly put down her hands that were about to play the piano, and she felt a little helpless: "Okay, you'll talk first."

"Then should the princess listen to the good news first, or..."

"I'll let you say it!"

You have a bad temper...

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes, "The good news is that the black iron donated to the country by the Zhang family will be above 90% purity every month."

The princess nodded. This was indeed good news. Joy flashed in her eyes. But at the same time, she also had a little vigilance in her heart - good news is good, so bad news...

"The bad news is that due to the advancement of black iron smelting technology, the black iron coins that have been popular among the people for thousands of years have begun to depreciate.

If the currency continues to depreciate, the currency will be in danger of collapse; a 'money crisis' that has never happened in history is already on the verge of eruption! "

"Currency Crisis?" The princess repeated it, and seemed to have not understood it.

Yes, although the princess is a bit powerful and understands some politics and military, she is an eighteen-year-old girl after all. She is almost always practicing, so she has no time to care about and learn anything else, especially the concepts that are unfamiliar to this world.

Zhang Hao explained it, but he was not very clear about it. On the one hand, of course, it was to hide his weaknesses, and on the other hand, it was not easy to explain. For this world, this is an unfamiliar concept, especially connecting the currency crisis with the country's comprehensive national strength.

After Zhang Hao abandoned a lot of verbal talk, the princess vaguely understood that this seemed to be just a currency issue related to ordinary people, but in fact it had affected the foundation of the country.

If ordinary people's lives are affected, they will inevitably have complaints about the country. There is no doubt about this.

The depreciation of currency and the reduction of living standards will further affect the people's production enthusiasm.

Although the world of cultivation seems to be dominated by the strong, everyone’s usual attention is only focused on the strong; however, mining, smelting, planting, breeding, textile, construction, etc. are all done by ordinary people.

Ordinary people are water, and masters of cultivation are boats. They usually see boats but not water; but if the water drys, the boat will hit the reef.

The princess thought for a while and her face gradually became solemn, "I probably understand. But how to solve it?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Zhang Hao smiled bitterly.

You are teasing me~~~ The princess's face quickly became gloomy.

Through the veil and bead curtain, the two looked at each other - in fact, Zhang Hao could not see the princess' eyes at all, but he could feel the princess's condition at this moment.

In fact, Zhang Hao has many ways to solve it; but why should I tell you!

Moreover, seeing the problem is already a bit evil; if you propose another solution, haha... Such a monster person is not reassuring!

After a while, the princess was moved by the 'innocence and bitter smile' on Young Master Zhang Hao's face, and finally snorted, "I will trust you once for now."

"Thank you for your trust in the princess. I don't know the news about the princess is..."

"The good news is that no matter how much black iron is produced by the Zhang family in the future, the country will settle the settlement with elixirs, spirit stones, etc.

There are also some martial arts, various books, etc., which can also be estimated if you need them.

The country will purchase black iron at a 20% discount on the lowest market price. Moreover, even if the price of black iron increases in the future, the country's procurement price will not increase.

The price of elixirs shall be subject to the market price.

But the state will ensure the quality of the pills.”

Zhang Hao nodded, this is OK. It is enough to just ensure the quality of the elixir. You must know that the quality of the elixirs on the market is really strange.

The issue of the quality of the elixir is definitely a metaphysical issue~~~

Anyway, it's the seller's market, so it's very willful.

The Zhang family's black iron production is now growing explosively, and it seems that relying solely on ordinary families and businesses is unable to digest it. The state's procurement is also a win-win situation.

Most importantly, when the country relies heavily on the Zhang family's black iron, the social status of the Zhang family will naturally change.

Because of the depreciation of the black iron coins, the Zhang family can now reduce the cost of black iron to one-third of the past.

In other words, even if the market price is sold at 20% off and the current market price has been reduced, the Zhang family still has more than 100% profit.

Large-scale transactions with the country will invisibly be protected by the state. If other families want to move the Zhang family, they should be careful.

For the country, the Zhang family's black iron has a huge quantity, high quality, lowest price, and is more convenient for transportation. It is a good strategic material.

On the eve of the upcoming Eastern Expedition, the emergence of the Zhang family has increased the country's military strength out of thin air.

With sufficient black iron, it means that there are enough weapons and magic weapons, and the soldiers can arm themselves to their teeth.

However, Zhang Hao raised his ears, the good news was very good, and he didn't know what the bad news was.

"The bad news is that I mentioned the sailing matter to my father. But... the father is very cold."

Zhang Hao was not surprised, what was expected. "Your Majesty opposes, our Zhang family can try it by themselves. As long as there are craftsmen in shipbuilding, it's fine."

"You have to find the shipbuilder."

Hum? Zhang Hao suddenly heard the implicit sound.

When I was looking at the sea before, the princess said she would give it a try; now, she just refuses.

Zhang Hao frowned slightly. He vaguely felt that this princess was not being scolded, right?

A princess is so concerned about state affairs, yes yes ~~~ It is very likely...

Since this is the case, I can't say anything about the solution to the currency crisis.

Zhang Hao thanked the princess for her help and said goodbye to leave. After arriving at the gate of the city lord's mansion, Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh.

Great sailing, great sailing, why is it so difficult!

Think about it, the people here still live on land. What they see is the crisis of the Green Sea of ​​Death and the endless ocean. In their perception, outside the sea is the chaotic land and the unknown world.

In contrast, although the Eastern Expedition "seems" could not win, it is at least a known world!

Zhang Hao shook his head, called a carriage and headed to the market.

But Zhang Hao didn't know that after he left, the princess angrily tore the ground in her hand into the pavilion!

She stood in the pavilion and looked out into the west.

Zhang Hao's words kept echoing in his mind, like a brand, indelible:

On land, there is no room for victory in the country of Qixia!

The country of Qixia, which is forced by geographical environment, can only move towards the sea.

However, she was just a princess, father and courtier, an eighteen-year-old girl who only knew how to practice.

In the reply from her father's father, she saw the rebuke and even regarded her suggestions as whimsical.

After standing for a long time, the princess still gritted her teeth and wrote a letter again. This time, she wrote about the 'monetary crisis'.

After the letter was sent, the princess left with the team and she would go to the next place to continue to ‘raise funds’.
