Chapter 433

After Zhang Hao arrived in Datong, he saw Ding Yizhong, the magistrate of Datong, and the Dai Wang with his eldest son Zhu Naixuan.Zhang Hao got off his horse immediately, cupped his hands to King Dai and said, "Forgive me, why are you still here to welcome me?"

"It should be, yes, I have already held a banquet at the house at noon, how about eating at my house then, and besides, Ding Zhifu and all the adults will come together!" Zhu Yanqi immediately said to Zhang Hao.

"Dai Wang, I'm afraid this won't work. We've also held a banquet at the government's side. So many of our officials are waiting to land on Marquis Lu An!" Ding Yizhong immediately clasped his hands and said.

"It's not that troublesome to have a meal. Find the last restaurant. I'll treat you. I'm new to Baodi, but I need to build a good relationship with you!" Zhang Hao said with a smile and waved his hands.

"That can't be done. Anyway, Prefect Ding is a prefect, and my fief is here. It can be said that the two of us should do our best as landlords. In this way, Prefect Ding, you can go to your place for dinner at noon and arrive at night. How about going to my house for dinner? Besides, Marquis Lu An is living in my other courtyard this time, and I have packed up my other courtyard so that adults can come in and out easily, what do you think?" Zhu Yanqi immediately said to Ding Yizhong,
Ding Yizhong is very hesitant, but he received the letter from the emperor last night, no matter what, he will fully cooperate with Lu Anhou, and at the same time, he must tell Zhang Hao immediately about the changes in the local area, especially for Zhang Hao, and he is not allowed to hide it. Something happened to Zhang Hao in Datong, and he, the magistrate, couldn't keep his head.

"Here, we also built a small courtyard. Although it is not big, Lu Anhou is invited to live there. Lu Anhou is the minister of the court. He is here on business. It stands to reason that our place arranges the residence!" Ding Yizhong said as he looked at Dai Wang and cupped his hands.

"Well, how about listening to Marquis Lu An?" Dai Wang knew that what Ding Yizhong said was right when he heard what Ding Yizhong said, and there was no reason for him to arrange a residence.

"Well, how about going to the magistrate's house for dinner at noon, and staying in Daiwang's other courtyard, okay?" Zhang Hao said to them with a smile,

Of course Zhang Hao knows that Dai Wang is trying to show his favor to him. If he doesn’t know this, then why bother? If he rejects him this time, it may cause his misunderstanding, and unnecessary incidents will arise at that time, which is not good. .

"That's fine, then it's settled like this!" Zhu Yanqi heard it and said very happily. Ding Yizhong was still a little worried. He knew what Jiajing meant when he wrote to him. Except for the people in the government, he now has no one. I dare to believe it, but now that Zhang Hao has said it, it is impossible for him to refute it.
Soon, the group arrived at the Yamen of the prefect of Datong. Zhang Hao let the acting king sit at the head. After all, he is a vassal king, and there is no reason for him to sit at the head. This rule cannot be exceeded, otherwise there will be ministers impeaching Yes, there is no need to cause such trouble.

Zhang Hao was drinking and chatting with them at the dinner table. After eating for almost an hour, Zhang Hao was going to rest. Soon, he arrived at Daiwang’s other courtyard. Now this place has been taken over by Zhang Hao’s Jinyiwei. Zhu Yanqi is very smart. No servants were left because he knew that Zhang Hao would only use his own people.

"Come on, have you got the tea table down yet?" Zhang Hao greeted with a smile.

"My lord, it's already been taken down. You put one in your study, and another in the side room next to it!" Li Mingdan immediately said to Zhang Hao, cupping his hands.

"Okay, let's go to my study!" Zhang Hao said to Zhu Yanqi with a smile, and Zhu Yanqi also brought Zhu Naixuan in together.

"Come on, sit down, I'll boil the water here, it'll be quick!" Zhang Hao said to them with a smile.

"You also brought this here. I saw this at the emperor's side before, but I don't know how to do it?" Zhu Yanqi looked at the tea table and said happily to Zhang Hao.

"I'll give you one these two days, and I'll send someone a message later, and get a few over here, this worthless thing!" Zhang Hao said to Zhu Yanqi with a smile.

"Then thank you in advance!" Zhu Yanqi cupped his hands to Zhang Hao and said.

"Well, come on, sit down, and the crown prince sits too!" Zhang Hao said to Zhu Naixuan with a smile.

"Lu Anhou, my son doesn't know much about the market. Look, can I do something by your side?" Zhu Yanqi looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Let me be by my side? Haha, don't worry? Do you know how many people want my life? Let alone how dangerous it is to stay by my side. If I am in danger, he will be in trouble!" Zhang Hao smiled. Pointing to Zhu Naixuan and said.

"Well, my lord, I know it too, but this kid is very ambitious, and I just want him to see the market, otherwise, I'll just sit and watch the sky!" Zhu Yanqi looked at Zhang Hao and said with a wry smile.

"Well, how about this, don't follow me, and then do something in the iron workshop, so the risk is less, okay?" Zhang Hao said to Zhu Yanqi.

"Okay, listen to Marquis Lu An!" Zhu Yanqi said happily.

"Well, I'm here this time, to tell you the truth, I don't mean to check you, I don't have the time to check you, and you haven't offended me, so you can rest assured, I'm just making pig iron this time, I know, you I also control a part of the pig iron in my hand, I don't check these, it doesn't make sense,
But what I want to remind you is that once my pig iron is produced, you will lose money if you continue to make pig iron. It can be said that your money will be cut off, but there is no way. I have to do it!So it still needs to be made clear! "Zhang Hao looked at Dai Wang and said.

"This, I know, it's okay, you've made it so clear, if I still don't understand, it's my fault, don't worry, the pig iron business will be gone if it's gone, it doesn't matter!" Dai Wang immediately He cupped his hands to Zhang Hao and said.

"That's good. Your output is really nothing. Then I will show you the output of the iron workshop I made!" Zhang Hao nodded and said to Dai Wang.

"I'm really looking forward to it. However, if there is a chance to make a fortune in the future, don't forget that I am the only one who can offer whatever conditions others can offer. I hope you will give me more opportunities." Dai Wang cupped his hands to Zhang Hao Said.

"It's easy to say, making money is very easy. There will be opportunities at that time. I have no choice. If I don't come, the emperor will take care of me. Otherwise, I won't be an official. I will definitely be the richest person in Ming Dynasty. It's a pity. I am a general! Hey, you can say that I am a general, the emperor just let me do the work of a civil servant, sometimes, I am very helpless!" Zhang Hao looked at Dai Wang and said with a wry smile.

"It's because the emperor trusts you, this is a good thing!" Dai Wang immediately said with a smile,

But Zhu Naixuan has always been contemptuous in his heart, he has always thought that Zhang Hao is Cui bragging, if it is not for the emperor's trust, you Zhang Hao can still sit on an equal footing with your father, what kind of onion is he?

However, what the Dai Wang said last night made Zhu Naixuan dare not show any dissatisfaction in front of Zhang Hao now.

Then Zhang Hao just sat there making tea and asked about the iron mines here. Zhu Yanqi didn’t dare to hide it. Then I asked about coal. There is still a lot of coal in Datong, but now the people don’t know how to use it. They just let them bury it in the ground. No one takes it seriously.
Zhang Hao chatted with Dai Wang for about an hour before they left. Zhang Hao took a rest and hurried on the road all morning. In addition, he was a little sleepy after drinking at noon, while Zhu Yanqi went home to arrange the banquet. The arrangements were made. , Zhu Yanqi returned to his study, and Zhu Naixuan also followed.

"Hey, okay, Zhang Hao really didn't mean to deal with us this time!" Zhu Yanqi sat there and said with relief.

"Father, he also said that our pig iron business will be impossible!" Zhu Naixuan looked at Zhu Yanqi and said.

"What do you know, pig iron is a material controlled by the court. Now Zhang Hao is here, and he is still the imperial envoy who supervises the iron. If Zhang Hao and us deal with the pig iron business, we will go to the emperor's side, and then we will not be able to eat. Now , Zhang Hao acted as if he didn’t see it, it’s the greatest kindness to our family, don’t be confused!” Zhu Yanqi immediately reprimanded his son.

"Yes, but! If he doesn't come, we can't continue doing business like this!" Zhu Naixuan said unconvinced.

"Bastard, we do this business in a sneaky way. If the emperor finds out, it will be troublesome. If you dare to say, no one will find out in the future. This is a hidden danger. Once it breaks out, it will be us. What a disaster! What does it matter if we lose all this money now, our family still has so much property, what’s the difference?" Zhu Yanqi said to Zhu Naixuan,
Zhu Naixuan didn't listen to it at all, he was still unconvinced, mainly because Zhang Hao was younger than himself, but now he holds such a lot of power, and still talks about terms with his father?Just thinking about it makes him sick!In the evening, Zhang Hao came to the banquet as scheduled, and there were local officials with him. Zhang Hao still drank with them until the curfew was about to come, and then they went back.

The next morning, Zhang Hao went straight to the mine to see the terrain, the content of the iron ore, whether it was easy to dig, etc. Zhang Hao also needed to visit the previous mines, and he still saw a lot of absenteeism and it was very hard. Digging the mine, sending it out with difficulty,
Zhang Hao observed there, and saw that the mining speed of those absentee workers was too slow. If explosives were used, it would probably be much faster. Moreover, their means of transportation were also underground, and most of them relied on the backs of people. How much can be recited, it will be too much for a long time, so those mining tools also need to be improved.

In addition, Zhang Hao also needs to consider carefully where the furnace is located. The three persons in charge of the mine have always followed Zhang Hao. -
