Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 581 Excited Wang Ze
"As long as you train more iron, is that the best reward for the prince?"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze's heart was filled with doubts, but soon, he showed a look of sudden realization.

"I understand, Your Highness, what do you mean by the profit of iron? Don't worry, with your blast furnace, we will be able to produce more iron, and the profit will be the same as the saltworks you cooperated with the Lu family. Same, [-] to [-] percent, our Wang family takes [-] percent, you take [-] percent!"

"No!" As soon as Wang Ze's words fell, Gao Ming shook his head, "It's probably not enough, I want all of it!"

"Ah? All?" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze was stunned.

He didn't expect Gao Ming's appetite to be so big, but his intuition told him that Gao Ming was not the kind of unreasonable person, and there must be a reason for doing so.

So after being surprised, Wang Ze still bit his teeth, and then bowed his hand towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, I understand. After returning to Taiyuan, I will immediately let the family build [-] blast furnaces. All the iron produced from the blast furnaces will belong to Your Royal Highness. The Wang family will never dare to take any of it!"

For Wang Ze, this decision was not too difficult, because the cost of [-] blast furnaces and the wages of the craftsmen were all affordable by the Wang family. If they could use the money to gain Gao Ming's trust, it would be very cost-effective.

After a few years, once Gao Ming ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, then the Wang family's investment will definitely be doubled in return.

Wang Ze will still settle this account, so there is not much resistance on his face at the moment.

Seeing Wang Ze's willing face, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Very good answer, don't worry, I won't take advantage of your Wang family for nothing. I took the iron, and I will naturally compensate you with other things. Do you remember what I said before? Taiyuan has nothing but iron. Besides, what is the most valuable thing?"

"It's coal!" Hearing Gao Ming's question, Wang Ze immediately reacted, and a look of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Wang Ze's quick reaction, Gao Ming grinned again, and nodded while smiling.

"Yes, it is coal. The coke needed in the blast furnace is made of coal. Without it, the blast furnace will be useless. Besides, coal is also an important fuel for steam engines. It will be made by the Lu family and the Cui family in the future. A steam engine ship consumes a lot of coal every year."

"So that's how it is!" Wang Ze's eyes lit up when he heard Gao Ming's words, "I understand, no wonder His Royal Highness said that the most valuable things in Taiyuan are coal and iron, so that's the reason!"

Seeing that Wang Ze understood, Gao Ming smiled and nodded again, and said, "Coal is a very important fuel. In addition to what I just said, it can also be used as an indispensable part of people's lives!"

"Uh..." Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Although he didn't say a word, Gao Ming could see his thoughts from his expression, so Gao Ming laughed again.

"Haha, I knew you didn't believe me, come with me, I'll show you a treasure!"

After speaking, Gao Ming stood up and walked towards the backyard. Seeing this scene, Wang Ze also quickly stood up and followed.

Gao Ming led Wang Ze through the backyard and came straight to the door of the kitchen, then stopped and nodded towards Wang Ze.

"arrive!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze immediately glanced around, and quickly figured out what the place in front of him was doing, and he suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

"Is this the kitchen?"

Seeing that Wang Ze recognized him, Gao Ming immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Haha, yes, this is the kitchen!"

"Uh……"

After getting Gao Ming's affirmative answer, Wang Ze was stunned.

Just now Gao Ming said to bring him to see the baby, but now he brought him to the kitchen. Could it be that the baby is in the kitchen?

Seeing Wang Ze's bewildered expression, Gao Ming smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Baby is nearby, look for it!"

"Ah?" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze's eyes widened again.

If another person said this to him, he would definitely ignore it, but the person who said this now is a clever person, so even if Wang Ze was very reluctant, he could only nod his head.

"Weichen understands, I'm looking for you now!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Ze looked around casually, but he looked around and found nothing wrong.

Just when he was about to tell Gao Ming that he couldn't find it, he suddenly smelled a pungent smell, and he couldn't help covering his nose immediately.

"What kind of smell is this? It's too pungent!"

While covering his nose, he looked in the direction of the smell, and as far as he could see, a strangely shaped stove appeared in his eyes.

This is a long tube-shaped iron stove. At this time, a pot of water is still boiling on the stove, which is making a "gurgling" sound, and is constantly spraying hot air. One can tell that the water inside has boiled.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ze frowned suddenly.

"Why is this stove so weird?"

Thinking of this, he moved closer to watch carefully, but when he lifted the copper pot for boiling water, his eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of incredible expressions.

"This... what is this?"

Contrary to what Wang Ze had expected, there was no firewood or charcoal in the tin stove, but a round cake with five eyes on it, which was bubbling out at this moment. Crimson flames.

Wang Ze couldn't understand the scene in front of him, so he could only look at Gao Ming with doubts again.

"His Royal Highness, this is..."

"This is a briquette stove!" Gao Ming didn't hold back, but explained to him neatly.

"Mix coal powder with the same amount of yellow mud and water, and press it into a mold. After drying, it can be burned in this kind of briquette furnace. Four briquettes can be burned for a whole day. Just connect a chimney to it. In winter You don’t have to worry about charcoal poisoning if you use it for heating, what do you think of this thing?”

"Good! Great!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Wang Ze couldn't help clapping his hands.

"It's much more convenient than firewood, and burning coal is cheaper than burning firewood. With this briquette stove, there must be more people burning coal than firewood. Your Highness, you are right, this is indeed a treasure!"

Hearing Wang Ze's words, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Haha, since you like it so much, take this thing as a little gift from me!"

"Huh? Give it to me?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze's face was filled with surprise.

Now make a lot of money!
