After arranging Guan Zhengqing to stay, Huang Shaoxian turned around and returned to the main hall to discuss with the Emperor of Canglan Kingdom: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Yan Chengxian and Hong Xiushan from Qixia Kingdom who came to us some time ago?"
The emperor nodded. "What do you want to say? I remember that the one who put in Yan Chengxian and Hong Xiushan was the general Huang Feihu of Tianmen Pass. This Huang Feihu is also named Huang."
Huang Shaoxian did not shy away from it: "Your Majesty clearly knows that Huang Feihu is a sideline of the Huang family. Therefore, the Huang family was also involved in the Black Iron Workshop established by Yan Chengxian and Hong Xiushan."
After a pause, Huang Shaoxian continued: "Your Majesty, what I want to say is that the technology obtained by Yan Chengxian and Hong Xiushan can mass-produce 60% pure black iron, and then obtain high-purity black iron through complex water forging techniques.
This technology is already more than ten times more advanced than what we have now. And the Zhang family has even better technology.
According to what we know now, the Zhang family seems to be able to directly produce black iron with a purity of 95%! It can also produce black iron specially used for alchemy, and the output is very high.
There is vague news that the Zhang family has now invented a spiritual material called 'steel'. However, the specific situation has not been found out. I only got a little bit of information through banquets."
The emperor nodded again, "I understand, this Zhang family is extraordinary. Although they have a background in Xuanzhen Religion, the Zhang family's technology is crucial. If the Zhang family can be brought over, or the Zhang family's technology can be obtained, our country will
There will be enough high-end black iron.
With high-end black iron, more magic weapons and spiritual weapons can be created, and our country's combat effectiveness can be at least doubled. And this is enough to turn the tide of the war.
You don’t even need to care about the plans of the Kingdom of Jinyang! Even if it’s a two-front battle, you can still bear it!”
"Your Majesty is wise, that's what I mean. So, now I'm thinking about how to get the Zhang family's technology? Should we use the power of the Kingdom of Jinyang to wait until the Zhang family faces the crisis of collapse?
What about taking action?
At that time, take over the Zhang family! The Zhang family will still be grateful!"
The emperor suddenly fell into deep thought. After a while, he finally nodded slowly: "It seems feasible. Just think about how to do it specifically.
It is best to stabilize the Kingdom of Qixia and help us hold back the main force of the Kingdom of Jinyang, while at the same time making the Kingdom of Qixia unable to recover and buy us enough time."
"Then... I need to discuss this with the right prime minister and the generals."
The emperor pondered for a while and said: "Let's do this. You go to the imperial study room in the evening and we will discuss it together."

However, after Guan Zhengqing was arranged to arrange residence for envoys from various countries outside the palace, he frowned. He had a vague feeling that things... were going to be troublesome!
The conditions of the Country of Canglan and the vague ambition made Guan Zhengqing a little frightened.
Guan Zhengqing was thinking when suddenly a guard came in and informed: "Master Guan, there is someone outside who wants to see you."
"Ask for a meeting?" Guan Zhengqing was confused, "I just came here alone, there is nothing to do here?"
But after thinking about it, Guan Zhengqing couldn't help but be curious.
After a while, three young people came in. The three young people were dressed a little strangely. They were neither the attire of soldiers or mercenaries, nor the robes of ordinary practitioners, nor the clothes of ordinary people.
The Taoist robe is elegant, but there is an indescribable bookish atmosphere.
Obviously, this is not the Western dress of the Fertile Land.
After the three people came in, the young people among them bowed: "Junior Xu Jie, pay homage to my senior."
"Junior Yan Qing, I would like to pay my respects to my senior."
"Junior Zheng You, pay my respects to senior."
Guan Zhengqing was a little confused: "What do you want from me?"
Xu Jie was the first to speak: "I heard that senior came from the country of Qixia, so we came here specially to visit."
"Oh? Three little friends, please sit down." After inviting the three people to sit down, Guan Zhengqing asked again.
Xu Jie slowly spoke: "Senior, there is such a family in your country. This family lives in Ninghe County and Changshan Town. The family is very small and mainly smelts black iron. Its iron-making method is water forging. The name of the family leader
Called...Zhang Shengde?"
"The Zhang family in Ninghe County!" Guan Zhengqing became even more curious, "The Zhang family is now a large family. Where did you hear this news?"
Xu Jie sighed: "It's a long story. I am from the "Biyang Kingdom" and the second son of the family. I am the kind of person who has no inheritance rights.
About ten years ago, when I was more than ten years old and started to be sensible, I met a cultivator who traveled around the world and became his disciple. Then I followed the master and traveled around the world and arrived at Kunlun Island.
Later, in Kunlun Continent, I came into contact with some brand-new ideas and met two friends, Yan Qing and Zheng You.
But at the beginning of this year, my master finally died due to a recurrence of his old injury. Before he died, he asked me to cremate him, and I took the birthday box to the Zhang family and handed it over to my master’s sister, Li Yunxiang, the hostess of the Zhang family.
.
At the beginning of the year, we came with the merchant ships. We didn't want Qianlong Port to be captured by Langya Kingdom just after landing. War broke out and the east-west passage was blocked.
Today I heard that Mr. Qixia is from the country, so I took the liberty of paying him a visit."
Guan Zhengqing was a little amazed. It was such a tortuous story, and it covered such a vast area. This story alone could be used to write a travelogue.
After thinking for a while, Guan Zhengqing said slowly: "In this case, you can stay here first and contact you when I leave.
However... judging from the current situation, it may not be too smooth if you want to reach the Kingdom of Qixia, so the three of you must be prepared."
…………
In the blink of an eye, five days later, Dayang Group held another shareholder meeting to discuss the commander-in-chief of the legion and the main generals.
On this day, we gathered a total of more than 20 "top generals" - anyway, they all said that their side was the best, and they were all confident.
After arguing for a long time, Zhang Hao clapped his hands and said, "Now that we are all here, let's have a practical exercise. Each general will command a thousand people and conduct a military exercise with wooden weapons. How about it?"
After a short discussion, everyone agreed with this decision. Now we have gathered a total of more than 20,000 troops, with each general having 1,000 troops, which has just been allocated.
Zhang Hao announced loudly: "Everyone has a whole day tomorrow to organize and master the team. The morning after tomorrow, we will conduct a drill at Luanci Mountain.
As for the wooden weapons for combat, everyone can make them by themselves, which can be considered a small test. The group will provide basic wood, etc., as well as basic luggage."
Everyone agreed again.
The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth slowly raised: "There is still time today. The Zhang family has recently manufactured a brand-new weapon and has already arranged it at Luanci Mountain. Are you interested in taking a look?"
Bai Ye was the first to speak: "For Master Zhang to invite him personally, this weapon must not be simple. I must take a look!"
Zhou Jue smiled half-heartedly, "I'm wondering if this new weapon is...explosive?"
"Explosives?" Everyone looked curious. What else did the Zhang family get?
