Chapter 62 Darkness Chencang
Mu Yingying followed Mu Mingchen around the guild, her eyes full of shock.
Since selling the shipbuilding workshop, Mu Yingying has been studying with Mu Mingchen. However, she has been a little tired recently because the market for black iron has changed so much.
As the water forging technique spread, let alone the country of Qixia, the black iron markets in other countries also fluctuated.
But the most influential one is the country of Qixia and Ninghe County.
Especially after the emergence of the Ninghe County Xuantie Guild, the price of Xuantie and the Xuantie market were controlled, but Xuantie purchasers from all over the country could no longer lower the price privately.
Some people say, go to other counties to purchase black iron, anyway, black iron is not unique to Ninghe County.
But the problem is - Ninghe County is the cheapest price, and the quality is really good!
Not to mention anything else, the angular iron ingots look gratifying.
The large ones are one ton and the small ones are one or two kilograms. But all the iron ingots are square and not as strange as they were forged. Such black iron is also convenient for transportation.
"The most important thing is that our black iron is smelted with this purity. If you buy it, you can continue to forge it. This is something other black iron cannot do. In terms of price, we are even cheaper."
The shopkeeper of a small family talked happily, which made Mu Yingying very moved.
The shopkeeper still said excitedly: Let me tell you, it’s not the Zhang family. Yesterday, we sold about 500 tons of black iron for sale, and our family sold more than 60 tons!"
So many? Mu Yingying was a little surprised. Five hundred tons a day, 15,000 tons a month! A Ninghe County Xuan Iron Guild can actually provide 300% black iron supply in Qixia Country!
In fact, except for part of these black iron being supplied to Qixia, most of them are transported to the surrounding countries, or rather, the other five Western countries, and everyone is preparing their army wildly.
After walking around, Mu Yingying stopped in front of the stone wall with the patent terms engraved, shocked inexplicably.
"Amazed?" A faint, beautiful voice floated, and a faint fragrance floated.
"Fairy Mei is here." Mu Mingchen quickly greeted, "Since the last time I signed the credit terms, I have never seen Fairy Mei again, but I am really eager to see it."
"Hmph, it sounds nice!" Mei Qianyun snorted softly, "If you really want to, you can go to Yuxue Villa."
"Haha... Then I will definitely visit you next time with shamelessness." After Mu Mingchen said that, he said to Mu Yingying: "Yingying, pay homage to Fairy Mei."
"Hello Fairy Mei." Mu Yingying greeted respectfully.
Mei Qianyun helped Mu Yingying up and smiled softly: "The little girl is good. Don't imitate an old guy, you are so slick."
Mu Mingchen touched his nose.
But Mu Yingying was clever and quickly changed the topic, "Fairy Mei came to see this patent clause?"
"Yes." Mei Qianyunzhen pointed at the first slightest note, "This patent clause is a genius. It has undergone earth-shaking changes in the Xuantie Guild just over a dozen days after the patent was born.
I think you can also learn from the interior of Yuxue Villa.”
Mu Mingchen shook his head: "It probably won't be ideal. This patented method is not suitable for families, sects, etc.; but is suitable for family unions, etc., such as this Xuantie Guild.
If the country can adopt it…”
"That's unrealistic!" Mei Qianyun directly denied and changed the topic, "Fellow Daoist Mu, can you ask something?"
"Please say fairy."
"Then I'm taking the liberty. We have an idea to unify families, businesses, etc. in the field of magic weapon forging and establish a guild. I wonder what if my friends think?"
Mu Mingchen was shocked.
Mei Qianyun was talking, and there was a huge noise outside the door, like waves.
Mu Mingchen took back his words, "What happened outside?"
When I arrived at the gate, I saw thousands of people besieging the Xuantied Guild.
To be precise, most people attacked with various tools, while the guards of the Xuantied Guild were defending.
Most of the people have their cultivation level at the sixth level of Qi refining, or even below the fifth level of Qi refining; many of the guards are in the foundation-building stage. There is no problem with the temporary defense, but it is the first time so many people are causing trouble.
Mei Qianyun's spiritual consciousness was opened, and within the scope of the spiritual consciousness, there were all angry people.
The people shouted the Zhang family's name and kept being criticized; they were even insulting the Xuantied Guild.
Mei Qianyun listened carefully and gradually frowned: After all, it was the problem of black iron; the advancement of black iron production technology has led to the continuous depreciation of black iron coins.
First, the Zhang family disclosed the water forging technique, which led to a decline in the price of black iron coins; later, although the Black Iron Union appeared and raised the price of black iron, the value of ordinary low-level black iron has little change - and black iron coins are cast with low-level black iron.
In recent days, the technology of the Xuan Iron Guild has improved again, resulting in the value of 60% pure black iron falling again, and the value of the Xuan Iron Coin has of course also declined.
This makes ordinary people quit! It’s really a matter of people sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven - we don’t do anything, so the money is worthless and depreciated by as much as 30%!
And the most serious problem now is that it’s not enough to depreciate, but the black iron market is still unstable, and the public’s confidence in the currency has begun to shake.
Mei Qianyun and Mu Mingchen looked at each other. They may not know the market significance of currency, but they also know this from a high perspective:
In trouble!
Mu Mingchen tsk, "This matter cannot be handled well, so let's stop dying, I'm afraid there will be civil strife!"
Mei Qianyun thought for a while: "I think this matter is not simple. When did the people become so united?!"
Mu Mingchen looked at the soldiers coming around and frowned.
…………
In the city lord's mansion, Zhang Hao and Zhou Jue (Yun Juezi) were talking.
Zhang Hao was very moved. What is a "large family"? It is vividly reflected in Zhou Jue. He is the young master of the "Xinglin Hall" and is now the eldest disciple of the head of the Nine Yang Sect.
In a sense, Zhou Jue's identity is comparable to that of the crown prince!
Wait, can the Great Navigation Plan be able to get new opportunities here by Zhou Jue?
Zhang Hao thought something.
Because of these ideas, when he heard Zhou Jue ask whether the Zhang family could produce 99% pure black iron, Zhang Hao immediately said: "I need five days to answer this question!"
Zhou Jue was a little stunned when he heard Zhang Hao's answer, and then laughed: "This is the most sincere answer I have heard! Then I will wait... 10 days!"
Zhang Hao asked: "I wonder how much Brother Zhou needs? Can you ask what you want? What are the special requirements?"
"The number of the alchemy furnaces is of course the better. The special requirements... don't seem to be."
Zhang Hao immediately showed his professional side: "Since it is used for alchemy, some impurities cannot be contained, right? For example, sulfur, realgar, and cinnabar?"
Sulfur is the element of sulfur; realgar contains sulfur and arsenic; cinnabar is mainly mercury. In order to facilitate the other party's understanding, Zhang Hao used common substances to refer to these elements.
Hearing Zhang Hao's question, Zhou Jue put away his smile: "I didn't expect that Shidi even knows these. The Zhang family's black iron smelting technology is exciting. I wonder how long it will take for Shidi to answer such a black iron?"
The relationship between the two sides is getting closer, Zhang Hao thought about it...
But at this moment, a guard rushed in, holding a man covered in blood and shouting, "City Lord, it's not good. Someone besieged the Zhang family and can't stop it!"
Zhang Hao stood up in a flash, his face suddenly changed.
The city lord Liu Jingming gritted his teeth: "What a plank road that is openly built and secretly traveled to Chen Cang. It turns out that the other party's target is the Zhang family! Feng Dongyuan, lead the inner guards immediately and must ensure the safety of the Zhang family, especially to ensure that the technology does not leak out!"
"Yes!" Feng Dongyuan did not hesitate.
Later, Liu Jingming said to Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look."
Zhang Hao thanked him. His cultivation is not high now and he can't help much after he returns.
Liu Jingming was about to leave, and Zhou Jue stood up: "I'll go and have a look, I haven't done it for a long time."
