Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

When mentioning the Tie family, Shan Yue hesitated and said awkwardly: "I just sent someone to deliver this letter to Tie Hongshan a few days ago, but there is no reply yet."

Shen Yian chuckled and said, "Then there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just go directly. The other party should give you, the leader of the Northern Martial Alliance, face, right?"

"I will give it to you, but you should have heard that this guy has a weird temper. Also, the price of ore has increased a bit recently. If you want to buy it, you have to be mentally prepared."

Shan Yue nodded and started to remind people about the price of ore. The families that own mines in Northern Xinjiang have raised the price of ore on the grounds that war is about to break out and the cold weather will affect mining.

The demand for ore will certainly increase during wartime. To put it bluntly, these families just want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune because they are essentially businessmen. Businessmen are profit-driven, and it is not uncommon for them to do things that break the moral bottom line for the sake of profit.

Especially this year, the war will always cause many prices to soar, and many people who smell business opportunities have already started hoarding various items.

Although the big mines were controlled by the imperial court, the mining capacity was limited and they were rarely sold outside.

The loose mines controlled by the family are different. Although the volume is small, there are many of them. At the same time, the shipment volume after mining will be higher than those of the big mines.

Sometimes the imperial court was short of ore and needed to purchase it from them. The price might be low, but the court officials responsible for purchasing ore were only human beings after all, so there were many tricks involved.

"Right now, the price of coal has increased the most, followed by iron ore and the like." Shan Yue went on to talk about which ores have seen the largest price increases.

In northern Xinjiang, families with the means generally purchase coal and charcoal and burn them for heating and cooking. Families with more financial difficulties will also store up firewood early to use in the cold winter.

Shen Yian was not surprised by these contents. When he was free at the horse farm, he sent hidden soldiers to fetch a survey on the price trend of minerals from the Chamber of Commerce base.

"Okay, I see. Any other news?"

Shan Yue felt uneasy when he saw Shen Yian suddenly laughing. He had a premonition that if Tie Hongshan lost his temper and said something outrageous, he would probably die a miserable death.

Even though the Tie family is quite powerful in the Northern Frontier, it depends on who they are compared with. Compared with the person in front of them, even if the Tie family ties up the Northern Martial Alliance, they are still not enough.

To put it another way, with the strength and background of this young ancestor today, any word from him can bring about a big change in the Northern Frontier.

Don't forget who his father-in-law is. He is the General Zhenbei who now commands 300,000 soldiers and horses.

This is not even mentioning the father of General Zhenbei. That old man was known as the God of War and was once a general who commanded an army of millions.

"There's no other news. Do you want to eat anything? I have a lot of good wine here. I'll have someone get it for you." Shan Yue came back to his senses and decided to change the subject.

"It's getting late. After dinner, go to bed early and leave for the Tie family early tomorrow."

Shen Yian declined politely. The sooner he finished talking with the Tie family tomorrow, the sooner he could return. In addition to wanting to return home quickly, he also wanted to completely clean up the remnants of the Huangfu family to avoid any more trouble.

According to the memory of Huangfu Zhanjun, the ghost-faced soul-searcher, Huangfu Zilong and others escorted Lan Die to Guangyang King Shen Xun with the dowry. If nothing unexpected happens, the two will get married within this month.

He had been thinking about one thing, whether or not to expose the fact that Shen Xun was colluding with the Huangfu family. To do such a thing at this time is despicable.

After dealing with Shen Xun, if what happened back then is used by someone with ulterior motives and deliberately spreads rumors, it will indeed have a significant impact on the old man's prestige.

Then leave two people alive for Shen Xun to use as time bombs, go back and try to find out what the old man is thinking indirectly before making a decision.

Shan Yue had no choice but to give up after hearing this and nodded, "Okay then, the guest room has been prepared. I'll take you there after dinner."

"Then I'll have to trouble Alliance Leader Shan."

The next day, Yunhuan City, Tie Family.

"Master, the leader of the Beiwu League, Leader Shan, and the young master of the Beian Chamber of Commerce, Ye Beian, are here to visit." The housekeeper hurried to the back garden and reported to Tie Hongshan who was fishing.

"Shan Yue and Ye Beian, it is a rare thing for the two of them to get together. Notify the Madam to go and welcome the guests."

Tie Hongshan spoke slowly, and suddenly he lifted the fishing rod, and a fat carp jumped out of the water.

"Yes, sir, I will go and inform the lady right away." After receiving the order, the butler left quickly.

"Snapped!"

Tie Hongshan raised the rod again, but the force on his hand loosened and the fishing line suddenly broke, causing his brows to frown instantly. He threw the fishing rod into the pond, stood up and snorted, "What a bummer."

Before he finished speaking, a servant from the mansion was quick-witted and quickly jumped into the fish pond to retrieve the fishing rod.

Tie Hongshan just took a glance and left with his sleeves waving.

The hall.

Shen Yian and Shan Yue met Tie Hongshan's wife Zou very smoothly.

Facing two people of extraordinary status, Zou did not dare to neglect them and greeted them with a smile. She also asked the servants to bring up all kinds of precious flowers, fruits and cakes.

Soon, Tie Hongshan came in with a slightly fat belly, his voice was as loud as a bell, neither humble nor arrogant: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"Haha, Master Tie, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still so tall and strong." Shan Yue stood up and said happily.

"Alliance Leader Shan, you are too kind. I am getting old and my walk has become slower."

Tie Hongshan walked to the center of the hall, looked at Shen Yian who had just stood up slowly from his chair, and said, "This must be Young Master Ye, the one who defeated Heavenly Blade Murong Lianshan with one sword strike, and even defeated Feng Qingyun in the Qinglan Sword Sect. It is true that heroes emerge from youth. Tie admires him!"

"These are just rumors. You should know your own limitations, kid." Shen Yian smiled modestly.

The three of them ended their hypocrisy and finally got down to business.

Even without being told, Tie Hongshan could roughly guess the purpose of the two's trip, which was nothing more than the matter of ore.

As a middleman, Shan Yue briefly explained the purpose of his visit, which was mainly that Shen Yian wanted to find Tie Hongshan, and he didn't know if there was anything else to do besides buying ore.

Shen Yian was eager to return home, so naturally he didn't beat around the bush. He really wanted to buy various minerals, and a lot more than originally planned, because he had an extra battleship that was about to be scrapped that needed to be repaired.

Then there was the ore smelting equipment and technology, the whole package, he wanted to buy it all.

The beginning was fine, but after hearing the latter part, Tie Hongshan couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, Young Master Ye probably doesn't understand what we do, right?"

Ore smelting equipment and technology are the lifeblood of these mining families. How could they possibly sell out people?

"Young Master Ye, there is one more fact that I cannot hide from you. The weather is getting colder now, and the workers are mining slowly. You need a lot of ore, so you may have to wait for some time. However, there is a batch of ore that has been reserved by other chambers of commerce and is ready. If Young Master Ye needs it urgently, I can give it to you first."

Tie Hongshan rubbed the big green ring on his hand and smiled like a profiteer: "But we have a contract with the other party. If we breach the contract, we have to pay a part of the penalty. This money, Young Master Ye, take a look..."
