Zhu Houzhao, the lonely Ming Dynasty, angrily snatched Yan Shenggong at the beginning!

Chapter 37 Wang Zhi, the best boy in history! (For further reading, for investment, for collection!)
"Your Highness, the Kong family is so rich now, should we have another one? It's a small million taels of silver, and it will take us a long time to get it."

"Also, I have seen a lot of people walking around these few days, and they have brought a lot of things to the Kong family. There are more than a dozen of all kinds of valuable ornaments, let alone tens of thousands of taels of silver..."

On the small road back to the residence, Zhu Houzhao walked forward with a dark face, and Liu Jin, who was holding his own godfather, saw that His Highness was in a bad mood, and his eyes rolled slightly, urging Zhu Houzhao to vote for Kong's house.

In his mind, the Kong family had been offended to death anyway, and it made no difference once or twice.

Zhu Houzhao's footsteps stopped abruptly, followed by Liu Jin, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, thinking that he was also tempted by his persuasion.

Turning back with a cold face, Zhu Houzhao pointed at Liu Jin and turned around.

Liu Jin's face collapsed, and she turned around and pouted her buttocks.

"oops!"

Hearing a scream, Liu Jin dragged his godfather and flew into the grass.

Gao Feng, who followed beside him, shook his head, quickly took out a silk scarf, and helped Zhu Houzhao wipe the sweat from his face and neck.

"The weather has been good these two days. How is the production at Zhang Yong's side? The south side is still waiting for sales."

Ignoring Liu Jin, whose legs were drooping and shaking by the flower pond, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and continued to walk to the rest room, while asking about Zhang Yong's situation.

Zhu Houzhao is not the kind of person who takes care of everything. As the future emperor, it is impossible for him to do everything himself, so he will assign each task to different people.

If you do well, you will be rewarded, if you do not do well, you will be replaced, and if you do something wrong, you will be punished.

There are so many people in the world who want to work for the emperor, he doesn't believe he can't find a suitable one.

"Back to my lord, Zhang Yong sent a letter yesterday, saying that the first batch of salt has been produced, and the portion is being calculated and packaged. It is estimated that it will be shipped within two days."

Gao Feng quickly took out the small notebook she carried with her, and looked through the records of the past two days.

Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Gu Dayong!"

"Gu Dayong's manpower has been recruited, and the soil blast furnace for steelmaking has also been set up. After the sacrifice of the auspicious day the day after tomorrow, excavation and production of steelmaking will begin!"

Hearing the two pieces of good news, Zhu Houzhao's originally ugly face relaxed a lot.

Salt steel is the basis of future plans, as long as there are no problems with these two plans, he will be able to relax a lot in the future.

It's a pity that Wang Zhi didn't come. If Wang Zhi came and took over his military affairs, then his basic position could be considered stable.

Last month, Qiu Ju wrote in a letter saying that Wang Zhi rejected his invitation and kicked him out after scolding him. He had no intention of joining Zhu Houzhao at all.

Although Zhu Houzhao was a little upset about this, there was nothing he could do if he looked down on him. He could only temporarily arrange the recruiting to Zhang Yong, and look back to see if he could find another such talent.

"Tell Gu Dayong that when the first batch of steel comes out, send it over to me for a look, and I'll give him a reply after checking."

"Yes!"

Gao Feng quickly wrote it down, and decided to write a letter to Gu Dayong when he went back.

The steelmaking method that Zhu Houzhao used for Gu Day was exactly the local blast furnace steelmaking during the great development period of later generations.

Zhu Houzhao heard about this method from his parents when he was young, and later studied it. Although it is said to be steel, in fact, this method is more reliable for iron production, and the production volume of steel is too low.

If you want to make steel, you still need to improve the fuel blast furnace, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't need much for this at the moment. It is enough to use the earth blast furnace first, and when it develops in the future, he will formally establish a steelmaking plant.

The construction method of the soil blast furnace is not difficult, as long as you have read the blueprints and pondered a little, you can fiddle with it.

Thinking about making steel, Zhu Houzhao and his party returned to their residence.

However, as soon as he arrived at the place, Zhu Houzhao saw more than a dozen people standing outside the courtyard, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a white face and a cold expression.

"bass!"

Following Zhu Houzhao's boy scout guards, he drew his weapons and looked at the group of people.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hands, looking at a group of people outside the courtyard who were also looking at him.

The two parties looked at each other for a while, and Zhu Houzhao, the cruel middle-aged eunuch whom Zhu Houzhao was mainly looking at, stepped forward and bowed and knelt down.

"Slave Wang Zhi, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that these guys were sent by his father to pick him up, but he didn't expect it to be Wang Zhi who rejected him.

Zhu Houzhao didn't let him get up, but walked up to him and squatted down, looking at Wang Zhi curiously.

"My people told me that you rejected me and scolded him."

There was no accompanying smile on Wang Zhi's face, let alone the fear of being questioned, his eyes were fixed on the ground, and he calmly replied: "I don't believe him!"

Zhu Houzhao became interested, sat on the ground and looked into Wang Zhi's eyes, "Then why are you here again?"

Wang Zhi raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and then quickly lowered his eyes.

"The servant is not reconciled!"

"Hahaha…"

Zhu Houzhao laughed and stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and reached out to grab Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi was taken aback when he was lifted up, this little Highness has so much strength.

Although he didn't resist just now, with his weight, ordinary people still have to spend a lot of effort to lift him up, but he didn't expect that the little Highness in front of him could lift him up with only one hand.

"You all get up too!"

Waving to the subordinates behind Wang Zhi, Zhu Houzhao smiled and pulled Wang Zhi into the house, and washed the other party with a fruit very enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

Taking the fruit with both hands, Wang Zhi was not polite, thanked him, and bit it with a "click".

"Why do you think that I can give you everything you want, just relying on my empty promise."

Naturally, Wang Zhi didn't know what a bad check was, but he could understand the general meaning.

Putting the finished fruit core into the wooden barrel next to him, Wang Zhi sat in a serious position and replied: "Your maidservant was arrested that night and used some tricks. He said everything."

The corner of Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched violently, and he glanced at Gao Feng next to him.

Gao Feng shook his head, saying that Qiu Ju did not report this matter.

Zhu Houzhao's master and servant made eye contact, Wang Zhi pretended not to see it, and continued: "Then the servant brought people to Shandong, investigated everything His Highness did, and came after confirming that he had done something. Come to Your Highness, and obey your orders!"

Zhu Houzhao understood now.

Wang Zhi didn't trust Qiu Ju's invitation on his behalf. He was worried that it was a trap, so he sent someone to investigate. After confirming that it was true, he thought of taking refuge.

However, Wang Zhi, who had been stunned once, was much more cautious when he came back again. During this month, he investigated what Zhu Houzhao had done, and estimated whether Zhu Houzhao was worthy of his support.

As for the result, needless to say, Wang Zhi has come, obviously concluding that Zhu Houzhao can make him take off again.

After talking about this month's events, Wang Zhi took out a memorial from his pocket and put it on the table.

"This is the result of my servant's investigation for more than a month, please take a look at it, Your Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, Gao Feng picked up the playbook and looked at it, and handed it to Zhu Houzhao after confirming that there was no problem.

Zhu Houzhao took the memorial and observed carefully, but the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. When he finished the last paragraph, he looked at Wang Zhi with satisfaction and relief.

What is a qualified younger brother?

This is called qualified younger brother.

During this month, Wang Zhi not only investigated what Zhu Houzhao had done, but even put forward his own ideas, and by the way supplemented the flaws and loopholes exposed by Zhu Houzhao.

This is what it's like to be a younger brother. If the boss tells you something, you don't even have to worry about it, and the younger brother will do it beautifully.

This kind of younger brother is the most reassuring, and as Zhu Houzhao's identity, he doesn't have to worry about seizing power, so this kind of younger brother is exactly what he needs.

Wang Zhi is simply God, arranged for him Zhu Houzhao, the most reliable and most assured subordinate, there is no one!

　Thanks to: Mengfu 203 for the reward, thanks to: Yuntian w666 for the reward, thank you two bosses, let the two bosses spend money!
