Chapter 279 Ministry of Industry, Zhang Shouzhi!

Chapter 279

At the same time, Wang Gen's carriage came to an abrupt stop at a distance of more than ten streets away from Shiri Restaurant through the streets and alleys.

Wang Chong jumped out of the carriage, said goodbye to his uncle Wang Gen, and watched the carriage disappear into the distance.

"My lord, where are we going now?"

Eagle, Lone Wolf, and Tie Shou followed Wang Chong down and stood on the street.

"Go find someone."

Wang Chong smiled, glanced at the golden token in his palm, and quickly put Zhangchou Jianqiong's token into his arms.

After meeting Xianyu Zhongtong, getting Zhangchou Jianqiong's token, and knowing that Zhang Qiantuo came to the capital together, it's time to find that person next.

Walking along a dark and damp alley, he quickly left the affluent area of ​​the capital. In front of you, patches of low, dilapidated houses slowly appeared.

This is a ghetto.

Wherever there are rich people, there are poor people. The same is true for the capital.

After turning a few alleys, the eyes are getting more and more dilapidated.

"What are you doing here, sir?"

Eagle, Lone Wolf, and Iron Hand became more and more curious. The three of them were quite familiar with the capital, but even they hadn't been to the place Wang Chong came to.

Heirs of the Nine Princes, the family of the General, the three of them couldn't figure out how a noble son like Wang Chong would come to this dilapidated place.

"It should be here."

Wang Chong looked at the mansion in front of him and said.

Judging by the standards of the slums, the mansion in front of him should look quite grand. However, the old wooden door showing signs of decay, the wet old steps covered with moss, and the grass growing from the base of the wall are enough to show that this place is not the big gate as imagined.

bang bang!

Wang Chong walked up the steps and knocked on the knocker on the door. After a while, the door opened, and a head poked out from inside.

"Who are you looking for?"

The man was sleepy,

Looks like a servant.

"We're looking for Master Zhang."

Wang Chong smiled and said politely.

The servant suddenly woke up, glanced at the luxurious clothes on Wang Chong and the others, and quickly opened the door.

The room was very dark, only a simple oil lamp was lit, emitting a dim light.

An elderly man in his fifties with wrinkled face was lying on a bamboo chair, smoking a dry cigarette, wisps of blue-purple smoke lingered in the room, looking very decadent.

"Ordinary people would never find this place. Who are you guys?"

Although he was talking to four people, the old man's eyes were out of focus, and he was smoking a pipe together, looking very careless.

"Hehe, old man, I'm here to ask you to help build the house."

Wang Chong said.

"snort!"

Hearing Wang Chong's words, the old man was stunned, and finally showed a serious look, but he smiled coldly, closed the cigarette ashes in the pipe, and refused without hesitation:

"I don't know where you heard the news that I'm here. However, you should die. Since I left the Ministry of Industry, I will never build a house for anyone again."

This person is actually from the Ministry of Industry!

Behind Wang Chong, Eagle, Iron Hand, and Lone Wolf were surprised. Most of the people in the Ministry of Industry have a very high salary, even ordinary humanities officials, they also have a good life, at least they will not live here.

No one thought that there would be people from the Ministry of Industry living here.

"It seems that the son is looking for him for that matter."

The three secretly said in their hearts.

When Wang Chong attended Zhangchou Jianqiong's banquet, they were also there, but they didn't sit at the wine table. All three of them knew about Wang Chong buying Lion Mountain to build a base.

"It seems that the young master wants him to help build the base."

"On the contrary, young master, this place is so secret, how on earth did young master know that he is here?"

The three were puzzled in their hearts.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, it's not just building a house. I want to build a city."

Wang Chong said with a smile at this time, all his mind was on the old man in front of him.

The reason why Wang Chong knew that this old man was here was very simple. It had nothing to do with the memory of his previous life. When Wang Chong was a dandy, he saw him once on the tower.

Wang Chong recognized him the first time.

As a qualified dude, this is the most basic ability.

"city?"

Even though the old man was not interested in the four of them at all, he couldn't help opening his eyes wide when he heard Wang Chong's words, but soon his face darkened, with an angry look on his face:

"Young master, are you kidding the old man? I don't care which family you belong to, get out now."

While talking, he stretched out his pipe and pointed it out!

He has seen a lot in his life, and he has seen everyone. Ask for anything. But it's not so ridiculous, building a city?

Did he think it was a child's play house?

Can this be built by one person's ability?

Do you know how much it will cost? How much manpower and material resources will it cost?

Even the big families in the capital dare not boast about such a Haikou casually, is this kid crazy? I came here specially to tease him.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang, if I say it's true, it's true. If I make fun of you, do I need to come here?"

Wang Chong said seriously.

The old man was a bit stubborn, and it was not easy to convince him. However, Jiannan's base and many of his future plans will require the ability of this skilled craftsman from the Ministry of Industry.

In Wang Chong's plan, this old Zhang is a very important existence. It is almost not much different from Zhang Munian.

It's just that the timing wasn't right before.

So until now, with Zhangchou Jianqiong's lead, Wang Chong finally found the opportunity to invite him out of the mountain.

"Haha, kid, it's not that I look down on you. Do you know how much it costs to build a city?"

Zhang Shouzhi looked disdainful, he still didn't believe that this kid really came to ask him to build a city.

"One million taels?"

"What? Copper coins?"

Zhang Shouzhi sneered.

"gold!"

Wang Chong said seriously.

As soon as the sound fell, it was pitch black, and there was a dead silence in the dim room. Zhang Shouzhi's dry tobacco pipe was hanging in the air, and he forgot to add even the shredded tobacco.

Eagle, Iron Hand, and Lone Wolf all opened their mouths wide, stunned.

"One million taels?"

"Does the young master have so much money?!"

"Or gold? Does it cost so much to build a base?"

...

The three of them were even more shocked than Zhang Shouzhi. They have been following Wang Chong for a while, and have vaguely heard about this young master's deeds. I know this guy is very good at business.

But the three of them never knew that Wang Chong's strength had reached this level!

Especially Lone Wolf, he didn't know how many tasks he had taken before, he came in the water and went in the fire. No one understood what a million taels of gold meant better than him.

He has worked hard for so many years, and the money he earned is not even a fraction of Wang Chong's.

One million taels of gold, this is simply unimaginable!

"This is almost comparable to all the assets of a big family, and the son's business ability is really amazing!"

Lone Wolf secretly said in his heart.

"Boy, are you kidding me?"

Zhang Shouzhi's expression froze, and he couldn't believe it. He originally wanted to say one hundred thousand taels, two hundred thousand taels, but unexpectedly, Wang Chong directly offered one million taels of gold, far exceeding his expectations.

Clang!

Wang Chong didn't say anything, he just pulled the token from his waist, took off the two-sided token, and threw it over. On one side is Zhangchou Jianqiong's personal token, and on the other side is the token of the Wang family.

Zhang Shouzhi took the two-sided token in his hand, and looked at it casually at first, but after seeing the emblem and logo on it, he couldn't help but tremble.

Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him had a background far beyond what he could have imagined.

"Old man, our young master is a trustworthy person. If we say something, we will never lie. This old man can believe it."

Eagle said on the sidelines.

"snort!"

In just a short time, Zhang Shouzhi snorted, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw back Wang Chong's double-faced token:

"Although I don't know how you found this place, you don't need to waste your efforts. When I came out of the Ministry of Industry, I said that I will never build anything for anyone again. You are still dead. Be careful."

Zhang Shouzhi stretched out the dry pipe to the oil flame, lit it, and smoked it again and again, as if he didn't want to communicate with Wang Chong anymore.

Back then when he came out of the Ministry of Industry, he didn't know that aristocratic families came to him, and the conditions offered were very generous, but in the end, he didn't agree to any of them.

Really disheartened.

I have been a master craftsman of the Ministry of Industry all my life, I don’t know how many beautiful and magnificent palaces I have built, but in the end I received this kind of treatment, and was even expelled from the Ministry of Industry.

The disgrace was simply unbearable.

Since then, Zhang Shouzhi has determined not to touch any construction matters.

"Mr. Zhang, why bother to refuse in such a hurry."

Wang Chong smiled. He had heard of Zhang Shouzhi's temper for a long time, and none of the outstanding master craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry had such a temper.

However, if there is no certainty, it is impossible for him to come here.

"200,000 taels of gold, as long as Mr. Zhang agrees to come out of the mountain. I am willing to provide 200,000 taels of gold for Mr. Zhang to continue the research on the secret recipe, and will provide more resources in the future."

Wang Chong suddenly stretched out two fingers and said with a mysterious smile.

Hearing the word "Secret Recipe", Zhang Shouzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he almost swallowed the stick of the pipe. How old is this kid, how did he know about that?

Zhang Shouzhi had a ghostly look on his face.

"Boy, don't talk about it, do you really know which research was conducted?"

Zhang Shouzhi was a little moved. If this kid really said that, it would really be a great temptation for him.

"certainly."

Wang Chong smiled slightly and said:

"Isn't it because of this that Mr. Zhang embezzled money from the palace and was almost sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to be beheaded?"

Zhang Shouzhi's rare old face flushed. Rao is thick-skinned, even if this scandal was exposed face to face, he still felt that he couldn't keep his face.

"200,000 taels of gold may not be enough. Young man, think about it, it is a bottomless pit. I know you come from a famous family, but this research is basically a bottomless pit. No matter how much you invest, you may not be able to Success. If it was really that simple, I would have succeeded in the Ministry of Industry. How could it be revealed to such a field?"

Zhang Shouzhi said seriously.

In more than a decade, this is the first person who has made a big statement to support his continued civil research. This made Zhang Shouzhi have a good impression of Wang Chong.

Although he might not agree.

"Of course. Not only can I support you with 200,000, 300,000..., I can supply and support you continuously, and I can even provide you with a cement formula."

Wang Chong said.

"cement?"

Zhang Shouzhi's eyes widened, and he didn't understand what Wang Chong was talking about.
