Looking at the room full of gold, Zhang Yi told everyone that gold is just a precious metal and does not represent real "wealth". Real wealth is the land that can be cultivated, the products produced by factories, and the hard work of people. Various results transformed.
"This gold is the capital for the implementation of the Dragon Project, the driving force to promote the development of industry and commerce, and the magic weapon for strategizing." Zhang Yi explained.
Everyone was amazed.
"Brother Yi, this gold is too important. Do you need me to lead someone to guard here day and night?" Niu Ben asked.
"There is no need for a big cow to guard the door, it is a waste of a general," Xiao Han said with a smile, "After we take out enough gold, I will close the door lock and ask the king to send a team of troops to station on the ground."
Princess Xiao Liu asked everyone to wait, and she went back to tell her father the good news. King Liu Kai immediately came incognito and was extremely happy to see so much gold, which meant that the implementation of the Dragon Project was guaranteed.
"When my beloved son-in-law first brought up this matter, I was a little skeptical. I didn't expect that my beloved son-in-law would say it's true. Now I feel relieved, hahaha." King Liu Kai was extremely happy.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. My brother-in-law has always been true to his words. He often makes shocking statements, and then they become reality. We brothers have long been used to it." Xiaolong said with a smile.
"That's great. Father often says that I speak amazingly, but I haven't done many things yet." Princess Xiaoliu covered her mouth and laughed.
"The husband sings and the wife follows. If my sworn brother does it, even if Princess Xiaoliu does it, the two of them are just like one person." Anu said with a smile.
"He who wins one person can win the world." Yue Ya'er also joked.
Xiao Han hurriedly patted the back of her hand. This sentence was a bit sensitive. Yue Yaer's meaning was the same as Anu's. But on the other hand, if Yi Ge got Xiao Liu, he would have the possibility of inheriting the throne. It's good to understand this kind of thing in your heart. , don’t dare to talk nonsense.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
But he saw King Liu Kai smiling and nodding. No matter how strong Xiao Liu is, she is still a daughter, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in a world where wolves and tigers are like wolves. Only his beloved son-in-law Zhang Yi is gentle, modest and low-key, but when it comes to war, he turns into a fierce tiger. This is the most ideal leader.
Seeing the king behave like this, everyone's faces showed smiles. There are some things that cannot be explained clearly, so just understand.
In addition, the gold matter must be kept secret without outside intervention. Zhang Yi immediately organized his brothers and warriors from Mopan City to fill wooden boxes with gold, and King Liu Kai arranged for a special person to pick it up and transport it directly to the treasury.
First, 10 tons were transported, which was enough for the time being, and the rest was sealed in an underground vault. King Liu Kai arranged for a team of imperial guards to be stationed here, and sent craftsmen to continue cleaning up the ruins. He planned to build a strong building here and become Zhang Yi's commander. center.
Later, Zhang Yi led his brothers to successfully find two more vaults, but they no longer needed to be excavated. Those two areas were also sealed off, and the residents living nearby received a relocation allowance from the court. For the residents, It's a pie in the sky thing.
A big event has come to an end.
…
Immediately afterwards, Princess Xiaoliu, in the name of her father, invited the head of the Zhang family to the palace for a meeting, which was held at the Yangxin Hall.
The patriarch of the family is called Zhang He. He is almost sixty years old. He is tall and thin, with a slight hunchback. There are deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, which bear the traces of time. His hair has turned gray, and he looks like a kind-hearted old man. His steps were steady and steady, showing that he was also a brave and skilled warrior in his youth.
"Zhang pays homage to the princess!" Zhang Lin bowed in salute.
"You don't have to be polite, please sit down." Princess Xiaoliu stood up with a smile and asked Zhang Lin to sit down.
You must respect the family heads. These people are the bosses behind the scenes. They have no official positions, but they have extremely high titles. All the officials in the court have to kneel down and worship them when they see them, let alone their own children.
Zhang Yi and Xiaolong were present.
"Mr. Zhang, let me introduce them. They are Zhang Yi and Taoist Zhuge, from Mopan City." Princess Xiaoliu said with a smile.
Zhang He, who had just sat on the chair, suddenly stood up, with a surprised expression on his face, and saluted: "When Zhang comes, I can see that these two are very talented people. They are absolutely extraordinary people. It turns out that they are the Five Tigers of Mopan City."
The eldest and second eldest brother, how disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Zhang Yi and Xiaolong returned the gift happily. They saw that Mr. Zhang was a kind of loyal hero. To be able to reach the throne of the head of the family, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Mr. Zhang's surname is Zhang, and my surname is Zhang. We are one family," Zhang Yi said with a smile. "After arriving in Chang'an, I should go to see Mr. Zhang. We are just living in a distant place, so I will ask the princess to introduce him."
"A family, yes, we are a family. When the old Zhang family mentioned the name Zhang Yi, they were all proud and even more admired. I didn't expect to meet each other by chance. It's such an honor!" Zhang He said happily and looked at the princess again.
, lowered his voice and asked, "Zhang heard that the king admires you very much?"
Zhang Yi and Princess Xiaoliu both smiled and nodded.
Snap!
Zhang He clapped his hands. That's right. The rumor was certain that the son-in-law Chenglong Kuai was Zhang Yi!
"Congratulations to your Excellency, congratulations to the princess. This is the kingdom's good fortune. It's a great thing. A hero matches a princess. It's a story that will last forever!" Zhang He congratulated the two of them and they hurriedly returned the gift.
The atmosphere is great, and sometimes you can tell whether something is going to work or not just by looking at the people.
A few people chatted and laughed and took their seats.
Xiaolong held an ancient-looking family tree in his hand and said: "The world is in chaos and the people have been displaced. Now that things are gradually settling down, we can trace our roots and ask about our ancestors. Our sworn brother has a family tree and comes from a prominent clan. Now the eldest brother has come to Chang'an."
, I want to get to know the Zhang family and become one family from now on, sharing weal and woe."
"It should be so!" Zhang He laughed and said, "The Zhang family is the second family in the northwest, with currently 510,000 people. The sworn brother is famous all over the world. He is the most outstanding representative of the old Zhang family, and he comes from a prominent family.
A family meeting will be organized immediately to welcome the arrival of my sworn brother."
A few people laughed and talked quite speculatively.
The atmosphere was very good. Zhang Yi talked about business, talked about the general trend of the world, and mentioned the great cause of unifying China. Princess Xiaoliu also revealed that the king appointed Zhang Yi to preside over the reform, hoping to get Mr. Zhang's full support.
Zhang He knew that the king was ill and that the person who would inherit the throne would be either Xiaoliu or Zhang Yi. Of course he hoped it would be Zhang Yi and immediately expressed his support for Zhang Yi's reform.
Zhang Yi briefly described his dragon project and asked Zhang He for his opinion.
Zhang He thought for a while and said: "Yi Ge has successful experience, and Mopan City is proof of it. From my perspective, once the Dragon Project is successful, the country will definitely take off. When it comes to land issues, the Zhang family obeys Yi Ge's arrangements.
. However, Yi Ge must be prepared, and there will inevitably be some objections. There are no outsiders here, so I might as well say it straight, I, the 510,000 people in the Zhang family support Yi Ge, as long as the king and Yi Ge give the order, the Zhang family will go all out!"
Zhang Yi, Princess Xiaoliu and Xiaolong were all very moved.
At this time, King Liu Kai walked over, smiled and shook hands with Zhang He, and then walked away again.
Zhang He understood that the king had begun to let go. To be loyal to Zhang Yi was to be loyal to the king.
