Straight man of steel

Chapter 49 Heading to Longmen Mountain (please recommend tickets)
There were not a few days left in the middle of winter, and Zhang Yuan finally passed after waiting for a short time.

The first place to see life is still the stream that runs through the yard, because a lot of moist green moss has grown, and then the grass in the green bar forest has sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. come out.

The winter in Shu County is not very cold, and the spring is warmer than that in the north. This spring is just right.

Although Zhang Yuan's house was secluded, there were still several houses around it. Zhang Yuan accidentally saw someone washing an iron pot in the stream.

Linqiong is no different than other places. Here the county magistrate Wang Ji is the boss, and the second child is Zhuo Wangsun. There are not a few imitation iron pots in other places in the Han Dynasty, but Zhang Yuan can be sure that there is absolutely no such thing in Linqiong, and there will be no blacksmith Pu Zuisha brought cheap iron pots to Linqiong for sale.

"Ma'am, where did you buy this iron pot?"

Zhang Yuan knelt down and asked the woman, none of the neighbors around Zhang Yuan could use Zhuo's iron pot.

"Shu Weixuan, no, it's now called Zhuo's Ironware Shop."

The woman just answered Zhang Yuan's question very casually, and Zhang Yuan didn't feel that she was lying to him.

"How much did you spend? I wanted to buy one before, but an iron pot costs ten taels of gold. People like me can't afford it."

The woman stood up all of a sudden, shook the water on the iron pot, and showed off in front of Zhang Yuan.

"Hey, young man, you don't go out much, do you, the price of this iron pot has been reduced a long time ago.

When I bought it, I exchanged it for a bolt of silk. "

Because many people have no money in their families, bartering is also feasible in these shops, and the Zhuo family has foreign trade business, and the value of these exchanged items is likely to be doubled if they are shipped to other places for sale. doubled.

"A piece of silk? Well, thank you, ma'am."

It seems that the output of wrought iron has increased, and those iron pots that should have been sold to nobles have also been sold. Then Zhuo Wangsun changed his strategy and started his plan to really popularize iron pots.

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and there shouldn't be much difference.

But the matter of the iron pot has nothing to do with him. How much money he can earn is his own ability.

Seeing that the snow on the mountain in the distance has decreased by nearly half, Zhang Yuan gradually became excited.

The next step is to go to the mountains to hunt for treasure.

He leisurely returned to the house and waited for a few more days. He could feel the temperature rising significantly, and Zhang Yuan knew it was time.

February of the first year of the post, which is the first day of February in the third year of 140 BC.

The thirteen craftsmen and handymen under Zhang Yuan stood neatly in two rows, waiting for Zhang Yuan to speak.

"Everyone, sir, I see that the weather has warmed up recently, so I am thinking of going to Longmen Mountain for an outing. It may take two or three days. Just wait at home. If you have anything, ask Lao Zhao and let him make up his mind. .”

Uncle Zhao pointed at himself in a daze.

"My lord, are you asking me?"

"Yes, let me ask you, is there a second old Zhao in this yard?"

It may be that Uncle Zhao has never taken on such a big responsibility in his life, and he was a little nervous at this moment, and his face turned rosy.

"The villain will definitely live up to the great trust of the young master."

When a group of people were envious of Uncle Zhao's good life, Zhang Yuan called out the names of several people in succession.

"Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Li Fugui, Ge Erdan, you four will follow me to Longmen Mountain."

Zhang Yuan has always been very generous, and everyone thought they were going out for fun this time. When they heard that Zhang Yuan only brought them four people, they shifted their envious eyes from Uncle Zhao to these four people.

The four people that Zhang Yuan ordered were the most physically fit of these craftsmen and handymen. Not to mention the many heavy loads to be carried along the way, if they encountered savages in the mountains, they would be able to handle one or two.

"My lord, Xiao Qing also wants to go."

Xiao Qing pouted and waved her hands to act coquettishly at Zhang Yuan.

"Go wherever you want, there's nothing good to do in the mountains and valleys, girls just stay at home.

Old Zhao, you have to keep an eye on this little girl while I'm away these days. "

Zhang Yuan specifically told Uncle Zhao, not because he couldn't take Xiaoqing out, but because he was looking for a coal mine this time, and it's not good to take a little girl with something dark.

As a result, Xiaoqing immediately decided that Zhang Yuan didn't want to take her out to play, and started to get angry and sulking again.

Uncle Zhao also smiled apologetically and nodded, but the sweat on his forehead kept oozing out.

He is so old, he can have a few lives for Xiao Qing to toss, that is, Zhang Yuan can control Xiao Qing, Uncle Zhao doesn't have that ability, and neither side can afford to offend.

We are going to high mountains and mountains, and Zhang Yuan has already bought all the things he needs to bring with him in the past two days.

I bought a tent, the kind used in the military camp, and Zhang Yuan didn't know why he could buy it in Cheng's shop, since he dared to sell it, he dared to buy it.

He also brought two hoes, an axe, a torch, and three bundles of hemp rope. Zhang Yuan hid three daggers in his boots. In order not to worry everyone, he did not show them. Just send one person to defend yourself.

The dry food was made by Chef Wang a long time ago, and the water bag was woven by Xiao Qing. I thought Zhang Yuan would take her with me, but I was careful when weaving it. Now it seems that my intestines are regretful.

On the surface it was just an outing, but in reality it was to look for coal mines, and everything I brought was useful.

"Damn, Fugui, you two put all your things on your backs. It's still early in the morning. Let's go into the mountain before dark."

"Here."

The way Zhang Yuan chose to go into the mountain was the Wangjiang Pavilion he had been to before. There was a boat beside the water. Lots of time and energy.

To go to Wangjiang Pavilion, you must take a carriage. This can save a lot of time and energy, and can also avoid the eyes and ears of others.

Because the ice and snow had melted, the permafrost had softened, and the road was very muddy and bumpy. Riding in this carriage was really not a kind of enjoyment.

When I closed my eyes and rested my mind, I recalled that in my previous life, I rode a bicycle from Wuhan, Hubei back to my hometown in Xinyang, Henan in a day. As a result, my butt hurt for a week, and my mood at that time was similar to now.

"Young Master, Wangjiang Pavilion has arrived."

After the car stopped, Xiong Da whispered to Zhang Yuan, interrupting Zhang Yuan's good memories.
