I, the King is a killer

It's been a month.

Zhang Ergou's caravan was stationed on the road.

He took off the jug and took a sip of the liquor.

Wiping his mouth, he said to his side, "go to the village and let the old man send things to us so that we can enter the village."

"Yes, sir."

My men hurried to answer, but still couldn't help asking, "second Lord, why do we always come to this place where birds don't shit? There is still miasma around. We can't get in without their medicine. They don't have many things. They have to pay some compensation whenever they come here... "

"You know a fart?"

Zhang Ergou stared into each other's eyes.

But I found that all my men were incomprehensible faces.

He sighed and said, "in fact, it's not as complicated as you think. You say, what's the most important thing to be a man?"

"This... Money?"

"Bah! You recognize money, but it's also true. Money is a good thing. When I don't have money, I'm Zhang Ergou. After I have money, I'm Zhang Ergou! But not exactly. First of all, how do you have to be rich? Your second master, I'm going all over the place to lay this foundation. What do you think I rely on? "

"Naturally, the second Lord is righteous!"

"Fart!"

Zhang Ergou rolled his eyes and said, "leave that flattery to others. Your second master and I depend on these poisonous eyes when wandering the Jianghu! Whether a person is good or bad, capable or useless, I can see seven or eight or ten in my eyes! It's all because of this that the second master has such a beautiful wife and family. Otherwise, why should the second master? Just because I don't know a few words, I can have you dog legs to help make money? Hey, hey, don't underestimate that village. Every time you come here, I will remind you again and again not to offend the people inside, because... That village is unusual! You can't imagine their ability! If one day, your second master is in trouble, has an enemy, or is captured, can you expect to save me? I tell you, this village is the only one who can really help me out at that time and save my life! So no matter how tight the time is, as long as I go to business in person, I will come here. What's this called? According to the recent popular word of the treasure house, this is called investment! "

"The second master is far sighted!"

A group of people flattered again.

Although Zhang Er still scolded the dog, his expression was obviously very useful and happy.

To put it bluntly, everyone likes flattery and gift giving, but some people can't help it, some people can't help it.

Soon, his men ran back and forth.

Several bottles of medicine were drunk by the caravan.

Then he strode into the fog and came to the village.

The village head as like as two peas, who are waiting for the same old age, who are just as old as ten years ago.

Zhang Ergou even has a strange feeling that one day he will die of old age. It seems that the old man who has entered the underworld with one foot will not die.

A wry smile.

He came out more and more, arched his hands and said, "Oh, old man, long time no see!"

The village head also laughed and looked very enthusiastic.

"If you don't come again, I'm afraid you'll never see me again."

"Oh, that's what you said ten years ago."

Two people are more like friends.

After a few greetings, the caravan slowly entered the village.

But when Zhang Ergou came in, he found that there had been great changes here.

At the entrance of the village, there are many stones piled up there, very high, like several hills.

After entering the village, I saw some blast furnaces arranged neatly in the middle of the village. Roughly, there were at least six.

Next to the blast furnace, there are two sets of particularly rough iron tools.

Villagers are knocking there.

Zhang Ergou was a little confused.

At the same time, the corners of the eyes twitched violently.

"Village head, what's going on?"

"Hey, hey."

The old village head smiled and said, "I've been looking forward to your coming. I just want you to see these. Usually you come and give us a lot of things, but what you change is only some leather and mountain herbs. In fact, the old man knows that you must lose money if you eat horses, but now it's different, There are treasures in the mountains! Unexpectedly, there was iron ore in the surrounding mountains! "

Zhang Ergou smiled bitterly and said, "well... Village head, it's a great crime to sell salt and iron privately. Even if you get it out, I don't dare to take it."

That said, his eyes lit up.

Hundreds of miles around here, there are many towns and villages. The most lacking is salt and iron!

If you can get iron from here, you can avoid the big city and finish the business directly. The profit... Naturally, it is considerable! After all, the more scarce things are, the more precious they are. This is the only way for merchants.

The village head smiled and said, "others can't, but the second master must be able."

"Old village head, I can't afford it."

While playing haha, he immediately went to a blacksmith workshop, picked up an iron square, looked at it, weighed it twice in his hand, and his eyes were even brighter!

The reason why he said at the first time that he couldn't eat the business was not that he was afraid of selling salt and iron, but that there were no good things in the mountain valley. Even if it was iron, it was just iron ore, which could not be made into iron, or the refined iron was waste iron and could not do anything at all, so it was worthless.

The scrap iron, frankly speaking, is rusty in three or two days, and then it can be broken directly by hand.

He once sold a batch of such ironware. It was called a tragedy. When the caravan was halfway there, it found that the things were useless. Zhang Ergou was hurt.

"Village head, did you refine this iron square?"

The village head smiled and said, "of course, that's it. What do you think? Can you sell it? "

"Yes, of course!"

Zhang Ergou was not hypocritical now, and hurriedly asked, "I haven't heard of iron ore here for so many years, and I don't know you can make iron. What's the matter? I haven't been here for four months. Hey, everything has changed. "

He knew that the village head must have met some capable person and was pointed out.

Otherwise, who will guard Baoshan and not move for more than ten or twenty years? Just being poor here?

The village head sighed and said, "I won't hide it from you. There was an able man passing by and was injured and poisoned. We took care of him for a while. At the beginning, I didn't want anything in return, but I didn't expect this person to be so powerful. In just a month or two, he turned this place into such a place. But now we are just familiar with it. There are not many iron squares and not many finished products, but these will increase in the future. By the way, if the second master has any customization, we can also put it forward and we can call it directly, You don't have to go through the blacksmith's shop again. "

Zhang Ergou's eyes narrowed.

He asked, "what a capable man!"

This seemingly rough blast furnace, and those rough tools

He is also a well-informed man. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he couldn't imagine that these rags could make iron from iron ore!

That's really a talent. If such a person doesn't make friends, he'll be a fool.

"I don't know. Is the capable man still here? Is it convenient for the village head to introduce you? "

The village head looked puzzled and said with a bitter smile: "Hey, he is a capable man and has something to do. He taught us so many things while recovering from the injury. After the injury, he set out before we could express our gratitude... By the way, he's going in the direction you came. Haven't you seen him?"

Zhang Ergou immediately recalled that he had never seen any strange people along the way.

No one seems to have gone along this trade route except their caravan.

Maybe they didn't walk on the road at all. They missed it when they were on their way.

I can't help feeling sorry when I think about it.
