Straight man of steel

Chapter 55

"Look at what you said, the old man will take a fancy to your dowry?

If you marry Wenjun and join my Zhuo family, after a hundred years, this huge property will be yours. "

This was because he felt that he could no longer deceive Zhang Yuan with his daughter, so he started to deceive him with his family property again.

"Joining? You think I'm stupid. I finally resigned the Zhuo family's retainers. What do you think I plan to do?"

Zhang Yuan finally couldn't bear it and started to vent. This old guy thought that being rich was a good thing, but he didn't know that after more than 20 years, their Zhuo family would have to disappear in the long river of history, and in the end they couldn't even make a splash.

"Is it possible that you kid wants to become an official in the court?"

Zhuo Wangsun really couldn't think of any idea other than the ambition to be an official to resist such a big temptation.

"Do not want to."

Facts have proved that the death rate of being an official is higher than that of being a businessman in the next 60 years.

"Then what do you want to do, kid? With your powerless appearance, you can't think about going to the battlefield to make military achievements.

Are you thinking of joining the army just because you see others getting knighthoods? I warn you that you should be more honest for the sake of your own life. "

Most of the nobles in Linqiong were military officers who were conferred military titles in the early Han Dynasty and then chose to return to Shu County.

It is precisely the group of people that Zhuo Wangsun thinks is the most dangerous, but the group of people that Zhang Yuan feels is the safest.

Although many of them lack arms and legs, they can live peacefully for the rest of their lives. If Zhang Yuan can produce a more powerful long-distance lethal weapon, such as a long-range and powerful crossbow like the God Arm Bow , It's not impossible to go to the battlefield to make military exploits.

"I haven't considered this yet."

"You don't want anything, so why can't you enter my Zhuo Mansion as your son-in-law."

Zhuo Wangsun really didn't understand.

Zhang Yuan felt that this old guy was also the first elder who came to this world to help him, although his purpose was not very pure.

"Because your business is not safe, listen to my advice and withdraw from the iron smelting business as soon as possible.

Although the profit from weaving and selling brocade is not much, it is safe. "

Zhuo Wangsun would definitely not listen to Zhang Yuan's illusory words, and Zhang Yuan didn't think that he could listen to his own words, anyway, he had already spoken, if Zhuo Wangsun really listened, he would be able to live a prosperous and peaceful old age .

As a result, Zhuo Wangsun didn't even understand what Zhang Yuan was talking about.

"What nonsense are you kidding, I still need you to teach me how to do it.

If he wants to marry Wenjun, the old man has only one condition, and that is to enter Zhuofu. "

Hehehe, I really take my daughter as a sweet pastry.

"Hehe, I think Sima Xiangru might be more suitable to marry in the Zhuo Mansion.

Patriarch, remember to send Lao Zhao and Ah Huang back before dark. "

Zhang Yuan bowed to Zhuo Wangsun, patted his butt and slipped away.

After leaving the Zhuo Mansion, Zhang Yuan did not go directly to Xiao Qing, he was afraid that someone would follow behind him, after all Uncle Zhao and Ah Huang are still in the hands of Zhuo Wangsun, if Xiao Qing is also exposed, there will be no jade pendant , Zhang Yuan lost the qualification to compete with Zhuo Wangsun.

After returning home, Xiong Da and the others were all doing some cleaning work carelessly at home.

Seeing Zhang Yuan coming back, they rushed up in a swarm.

"My lord, why didn't Old Zhao and Ah Huang come back? Aren't they in Zhuo Mansion?"

"They are in the Zhuo Mansion, Zhuo Wangsun will send them back before sunset today, you can rest assured."

After Zhang Yuan said that, there was no need for the crowd to worry, and they dispersed immediately.

To be honest, Zhang Yuan was not as big-hearted as everyone else. Before he saw Lao Zhao and Ah Huang come back with his own eyes, he had to make preparations for going to the county government tomorrow.

It turned out that Zhang Yuan's worries were unnecessary. Uncle Zhao and Ah Huang were brought back by a carriage from Zhuo Mansion just after noon. Everyone was very excited, thinking that Zhang Yuan was able to rescue the two of them from Zhuo Wangsun. It is quite capable.

Zhang Yuan was eager to know why Zhuo Wangsun took Lao Zhao and the others back. After seeing that they were not injured, he took them to his bedroom.

"Old Zhao, Ah Huang, Zhuo Wangsun didn't do anything to you two, did he?"

Ah Huang smiled heartlessly and shook his head.

"Young master, don't worry, Uncle Zhao and I were separated and locked up in two places after we were arrested.

No one beat us, and there was enough food and drink. The roast chicken was really delicious. "

Uncle Zhao, a carpenter, did not have Ah Huang's appearance, he was almost sad.

"My lord, let's move out of Linqiong earlier, we can't stay in Shu County anymore.

Patriarch, he has been thinking about your steelmaking method. After the villain went to the Zhuo Mansion, people came one after another to intimidate and lure you, asking you where the materials for making those steel swords come from. "

Ah Huang also nodded at this time and continued what Uncle Zhao said.

"Yes, Ah Huang was also asked in this way. Aren't those swords all forged from iron billets that are usually smelted?"

Uncle Zhao had already realized the seriousness of the problem, so it was impossible to tell Zhuo Wangsun about it. On the contrary, Ah Huang didn't care about it, maybe he didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhang Yuan stared at Ah Huang closely and asked.

"Is that what you say to those who ask you?"

"Yes, my lord, aren't those swords all forged from billets of iron?"

"No mention of steel?"

"What steel? Aren't those swords forged with hundreds of steel-making techniques?"

Zhang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ah Huang asking himself this question. This kid is really big-hearted, and he doesn't care what happens in the yard on weekdays.

In fact, the pouring method is a new method. In the eyes of these people, they probably don’t know what Zhang Yuan is doing from the beginning to the end, and the steel that has been poured is also wrapped in wrought iron. Ah Huang didn’t pay attention. , is also reasonable.

"Okay, you two go down, and be careful when you go out."

"Here."

As Uncle Zhao said, Zhuo Wangsun had already doubted it, and now he is almost convinced.

Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully, after Zhuo Wangsun finished reading his dagger in the morning, his attitude changed immediately.

Probably not just worrying that Wei Xin would make trouble for him, he should have affirmed that Zhang Yuan had steelmaking skills at that time, and then he immediately proposed to marry Zhuo Wenjun to Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan had to be married to Zhang Yuan. Far into the family.

Linqiong County really can't stay for a long time, if you continue to stay, there will be a steady stream of troubles coming to you in the future.
