Since the beginning of winter, Beiting City has become more and more lively. Although the snow cannot stop falling, it still cannot stop the people of Beiting from loving life.
As the vigorous census operation throughout Beiting gradually proceeds, ID cards have gradually become an important prop in people's daily lives.
At first, the foreign caravans complained about the sudden and detailed interrogation, but when they heard that as long as they invested or consumed more than 100,000 yuan in Beiting, they could obtain the "Beiting Friend Merchant Status", and the caravans would enter and leave Beiting in the future.
The tariffs and commercial taxes for large transactions will be permanently discounted. After careful calculation, these caravan leaders smiled happily and were very happy to cooperate with the strict inspection.
The second half of the ensuing investment conference was even more heated, because Zhang Junma lived in seclusion behind the scenes, and Princess Jinyun attended the conference as the host. Her superb political skills and flexible business acumen were simply better than Zhang Junma's.
Worse still, both the major businessmen in the Western Regions and the representatives from various countries in the Western Regions were handled just right.
Even Zhang Peng, who was sitting in the back and listening, was dumbfounded, because he just briefly told the eldest princess some of his business thinking and management methods from later generations, but he didn't expect that she could draw inferences from one example and understand it so profoundly!
Zhang Peng, who was a little dizzy, realized that he had underestimated the ancients. The only advantage he had was thirteen hundred years of experience. If one really only considered the talent for learning, no one around him would be better than him.
Zhang Pengqiang, the eldest princess, Latis, Gundam, including Li Xiao, will definitely be academic masters in future generations.
So when Zhang Peng saw the briquette stove that Gundam spent more than half a month working on, he started deliberately making things difficult.
"The iron sheet and chimney of the stove are not up to standard. I can tell at a glance that you asked the blacksmith to hammer them out. It is too time-consuming and labor-intensive. I want to mass-produce this thing and become a pillar of our Beiting."
Industry, even if you hire 10,000 blacksmiths to swing hammers, they won’t be able to do it.” Zhang Peng spoke in a loud voice, with a fierce tone, and the content was very vicious, “You are asked to do something without using your brain? You don’t have a brain.
You can throw them away, saving you from wasting food every day."
Gundam lowered his head and said nothing. He really didn't think of how to make thin enough iron sheets. All the blacksmiths asked him, and they all answered that they would beat them manually.
"And this coal cake! You actually made me a solid coal cake?" Zhang Peng seemed to have found his confidence. Bullying a genius who has not yet learned is a rare experience. Zhang Peng is currently enjoying it very much.
Seeing Gao Da's humbly accepting appearance, his voice became even more stern, "Tell me, how long will it take to light this solid coal cake of yours? Before my horse's nose breaks out from the cold.
Can it be ignited? Now I know, you are not brainless, but your brain is solid and cannot be moved!"
Gundam is a good boy. He will never be aware of Zhang Peng's dark thoughts. He only thinks that the Commander Ma Ye criticizes him so harshly because he hates iron and is full of hope for himself, so he failed to do his job well.
You will be more and more disappointed.
"Uncle, it's all Gundam's fault. I made you angry. Please punish me." Gundam's attitude was really nothing to say, it was too upright.
Zhang Peng felt like a big villain now. Seeing Gundam's pitiful appearance, he finally stopped his venomous attack. He snorted coldly and told Gundam about the method of rolling iron sheets using molds and stone rollers and the idea of briquettes.
Then he enjoyed Gundam's wide-eyed realization and admiration for him.
Gundam left, but the stove stayed.
Hehe, the hand-made limited edition stove is not only exquisite in workmanship, but the key is that it is a big thing, and it just fits right in Xu Wanyi’s empty bedroom!
"You didn't do this right!"
People who do this kind of thing are most afraid of being exposed, but someone happened to witness the whole process of Zhang Peng's disgraceful behavior. Looking back, it was Xu Wanyi. She walked out from behind the screen in the back room briskly, with her hands behind her back.
, puffing out his chest and smiling teasingly.
"This is obviously a good stove, but the stove made with the mentioned method is not as durable as this one." Xu Wanyi sat beside the stove, skillfully opened the valve cover at the bottom of the stove, and then put the stove upright.
He moved away the burning hot water and stretched out his hand to warm up the fire, "You gave Gundam a design drawing and asked for a briquette stove. Gundam worked hard to build it for you. You didn't encourage me and rewarded you, but instead you gave me
Harsh words...Zhang Peng, aren't you jealous?"
"How is it possible? Madam, you are overthinking. I am not that kind of narrow-minded person. It's just that I am still young, so I can't praise you too much. Otherwise, I will easily become arrogant. I must not just watch a young man who thinks he is a great and motivated person."
He was praised for it." Zhang Peng also sat down, very close to Xu Wanyi, with a generous tone and a sad expression. It seemed that he was really a compassionate and famous teacher who was worried about his students who were not living up to expectations.
Xu Wanyi just glanced at Zhang Peng, turned her head away, and moved her pony far away: "Why didn't I realize you were so shameless before?"
"A thick-skinned person can eat a piece of meat, but a thin-skinned person can't get anything." Zhang Peng was basically immune to Xu Wanyi's words now, and moved closer to Xu Wanyi again, "If it weren't for being thick-skinned, my husband would have been able to hold a marriage certificate.
Did you successfully get married?"
Xu Wanyi rolled her eyes and looked at Zhang Peng's ugly face angrily: "Not only are you thick-skinned, you are also rotten! Let me tell you, it is not the style of my princess's palace to not reward meritorious service. I have ordered Jianping to
I called Jianping back. Today, you must give him a reasonable reward, otherwise..."
Zhang Peng looked at Xu Wanyi with a smile on his face: "What else? Can you still beat me? Alas... that's all, beating is kissing and scolding, it is love, as long as I don't beat me to death, it's up to you."
Xu Wanyi looked at Zhang Peng with wide eyes, her face turned red, and she had goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't hold it back for a moment, raised her hand and grabbed Zhang Peng's collar: "Zhang Peng! You... you are all...
Where did you learn those obscene words and clichés? I tell you not to say such words to me again, do you hear me?"
"Oh, okay, it will be whatever Madam says," Zhang Peng directly followed Xu Wanyi's strength and held Xu Wanyi's hand with both hands, "You asked me to reward Gundam, then I will reward him well as my husband."
Xu Wanyi couldn't stand Zhang Peng's offensive at all, and instinctively reached out to hit Zhang Peng, but at this time, the sound of Gundam's footsteps came from outside the door.
"You are shameless! Humph!" After saying that, Xu Wanyi returned to the screen as if running away.
Zhang Peng watched Xu Wanyi "escape" happily, feeling proud in his heart... Hey, let's see if you dare to expose my thoughts again in the future.
When Gao Da entered the room and saw Zhang Peng smiling all over his face, most of his nervousness disappeared in an instant.
"You built the stove. This is a credit and a necessary reward. Tell me, if it is within my ability, I will allow you to make a request," Zhang Peng said generously.
Hearing this, Gao Da directly paid homage and said loudly: "Gao Da doesn't dare to ask for any reward. I just want to ask for a place to enter Beiting University for my younger brother!"
"You are a smart man. I can see that the prospects of Beiting University are not bad." Zhang Peng's eyes showed admiration. He poured himself a glass of water and took a sip. "I heard about you two days ago.
Mother brought your brother to settle down in Beiting, which is good... I have agreed to this request. By the way, what is your brother's name?"
After receiving the affirmative answer, Gundam was obviously very happy and immediately replied: "My younger brother's name is Gao Shi!"
Zhang Peng immediately spat out all the water in his mouth.
