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

The last cart of coal cakes purchased arrived at the Equipment Department, and Chen Wenlong reported the situation to Xiao Ming.

"How much money did you spend in total?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Two hundred taels."

Xiao Ming felt a pain in his heart, as if he had been cut off his flesh. His nickname in the dormitory was Xiao Grandet, "How could this coal cake and ore be so expensive?"

Chen Wenlong smiled bitterly and did not dare to answer the conversation.

In his opinion, Xiao Ming can only blame this.

When he first came to his fiefdom, the dignified King of Qi quickly mingled with the local wealthy families.

He has been sensual and sensual with these powerful children all day long, bullying men and dominating women.

These wealthy families learned that Xiao Ming was not liked by the emperor and had insufficient money on hand, so they gave Xiao Ming a lot of money, which was very happy.

However, these people's minds were not simple, and soon the operating rights of the Qingzhou mine were sold to these wealthy families by Xiao Ming for a bargain.

Among them, the one who obtained the most mining management rights was the Wang family in Qingzhou. The coal cakes and iron ore on the market all came from his family.

"Your Highness, you are wrongly blaming our Wang family. The mine in Qingzhou is fifty miles away, and there is no canal transportation here, so you can only take the horses and take it. The cost will naturally double. If you don't make some small profits, our Wang family will not be able to survive."

At this moment, a frivolous voice sounded outside the door, and a handsome man wearing a blue satin gown and wearing a cloud boots came in.

But the man's face was a little pale and looked weak.

"Isn't this Brother Shijie?"

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

"I've seen Your Highness!" Wang Shijie bowed slightly to Xiao Ming and bowed far away with a paper fan in his hand.

"No gift." Xiao Ming raised his hand.

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

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

Now he is no longer Xiao Ming of the past, so he could have ignored Wang Shijie, but he understands that it is inappropriate to take the civilian route now.

Because now he wants to unite all the forces that can be united to deal with the real enemy, this local tyrant is just an internal conflict in the fiefdom.

And it also has very important value to him.

"Wang didn't go to Yizhou to check the accounts. He never thought that Your Highness would capture the thirty barbarian cavalry alive with his own hands. It really made Wang admire him, admire him." Wang Shijie looked sighing and looked admiring.

"Where is it, Brother Shijie praised it, but he was lucky. These barbarians also accidentally bumped into it." Xiao Ming asked the servant to bring a chair to Wang Shijie and asked, "Brother Shijie has just returned to Qingzhou?"

"That's right, my father said that His Highness has been purchasing coal cakes and iron ore in large quantities in the past two days. He sent me to ask how much more His Highness needs?"

Xiao Ming laughed secretly. Wang Shijie was just an excuse. The real purpose was probably to see what this batch of coal cakes and iron ore was used for?

"These are enough for the time being, but I'm just asking the Equipment Corporation to make some gadgets. If I need it, I will go to find Brother Wang."

This time, Xiao Ming bought ten tons of iron ore, and the coal cakes were also quite large. He just used these things for craftsmen to practice.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wang Shijie smiled.

With his understanding of Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming would not lie to him. After a pause, he suddenly stood up and said to Xiao Ming with his ears: "Your Highness, in order to thank you for your protection in Qingzhou, my father has held a banquet at home tonight. Xiaohong missed Your Highness very much these two days."

The sugar-coated shells came, and Xiao Ming looked strange.

In the Great Yu Kingdom, the family banquets of wealthy families are a very chaotic occasion. How chaotic it is, it is basically the same as a brothel.

In addition to eating, the wealthy family basically sent out the beautiful maids in the house for guests and hosts to entertain.

Wang Shijie liked this very much. When Xiao Ming was with him in the past, such things were inevitable.

The little red in his mouth was Xiao Ming's former love.

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

As the saying goes, "Eat people with short mouths and ruthless people." Every time the Wang family holds a family banquet, the Wang family always makes requests at the last moment.

He is not stupid. If this continues, the name of the fiefdom will be changed to the king.

Seeing Xiao Ming showing hesitation, Wang Shijie showed an expression that men knew, "I heard that Concubine Zhen gave her two beauties to His Highness. Isn't His Highness a little overjoyed and forgot about my little red?"

"Brother Ai? You can know it." Xiao Ming said along.

Wang Shijie showed an envious look and sighed: "It's a pity that I'm afraid there is no beauty who can compare to Green Ivy and Aster in Qingzhou. Your Highness is so blessed. When can I taste it..."

Xiao Ming's expression changed instantly. Wang Shijie is a household name in Qingzhou. Now he has actually put his ideas on him. He is so brave. He has the idea of ​​Green Ivy and Aster.

"Brother Shijie, Luluo and Ziyuan are the mother's personal maids!" Xiao Ming said seriously.

Wang Shijie's mind was full of green ivy and Aster's slim figures. At this time, he came to his senses and saw Xiao Ming's dangerous eyes, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

What he said just now is enough to say is a great rebellion.

"His highness calms down, I'm really confused." Wang Shijie carefully smiled.

Xiao Ming snorted coldly. The Qingzhou clan is now quite powerful. Although he can cure them, his fiefdom will inevitably be damaged at that time, so his current ideas and the clan use each other.

For example, coal and iron are also counting on these people for use.

As for Wang Shijie, if it were Xiao Ming in the past, he would probably be in a mess, but when he met him, he naturally suffered this time, so he just spoke according to the way he got along with Xiao Ming before.

"It's okay, please ask Brother Shijie to go back and report to my father. I won't go to this banquet today." Xiao Ming had already driven people away.

Wang Shijie is also a personal wise man. Xiao Ming is obviously not the way he used to. He said: "In this way, Wang has surrendered."

Watching Wang Shijie come out of the Equipment Department, Xiao Ming continues to teach craftsmen how to make lathes and use lathes.

Chen Wenlong also listened carefully. Now Xiao Ming was talking about something he had never heard of, but he could understand it.

Moreover, the appearance of these lathes will automatically appear in his mind. Gradually, the manufacturing process of the lathe is already clear in his heart, and everything is so natural.

In the evening, the knowledge that should be taught was also imparted, and the detailed manufacturing process of the scientific and technological crystal was fully transmitted, and the rest was practiced by these craftsmen.

It takes time to just talk but not practice fake styles, and it takes scientific and technological knowledge to get finished products.
