Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 65 Wu'an Iron Square (recommendation)

"Let's ask Beihai prefect Zhang De to help us wipe out these gangsters!"

"Good idea. I heard that the Beihai prefect will wipe out all the thieves in Beihai as soon as he arrives. If he can come to help us, he will definitely be able to wipe out these rogues!"

"But is that prefect Zhang willing to help us?"

"This Beihai prefect Zhang De is Zhang Rang's son, and the eunuchs are all of that nature. As long as we send more money, there should be no problem!" When the money was mentioned, everyone's faces became ugly, and many people revealed Painful expression.

Master Zhang saw that everyone was silent, and said: "Everyone, the so-called steady flow of water, I don't want children to be caught by wolves. Don't hesitate at this time. We spend money now, and we can earn it back in the future!"

The next day, Master Zhang led two other masters and 800 people to escort a large cart and headed for Beihai.In the distance, Guan Hai and others looked at the group, and a leader asked, "General, do you want to rob them?"

Guan Hai said with a smile: "No need, our prefect's fish has taken the bait!"

……

In Beihai City, Zhang De came to the largest blacksmith shop in the city, Wu'an Iron Workshop.

Zhang De came here this time to meet the big boss here.A few days ago, the agricultural tools that Zhang De sent to farmers were all customized from here, but this time Zhang De came to order armor weapons.

Originally, these things should be made by official workshops, but there is no official workshop for weapon manufacturing in Beihai. The nearest official workshop for weapon manufacturing is in Linzi, and the officialdom in the late Han Dynasty was corrupt. The workshop system is not as cheap as buying from the folks. Zhang De's money is all his own, and he is reluctant to spend an extra penny, so Zhang De found the largest blacksmith shop in the city.

This Wu'an iron workshop has a history of several decades, and it has been forged for generations.There are many rangers in Qingzhou, and Wu'an Iron Works is really good in craftsmanship. Big households from nearby Yanzhou, Jizhou and Xuzhou all come here to order ironware, so the business of the blacksmith shop has always been good.Up to now, there are nearly a hundred master blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop.

Originally, Zhang De didn't need to come in person to order ironware, but after all, this time the order was for weapons and armor, so Zhang De decided to come in person just to be cautious.

Wu'an Tiefang is very large, with several courtyards inside.As soon as I entered, I felt the waves rolling towards my face, and the tinkling of blacksmiths resounded throughout the courtyard. Although it was still January and it was still cold, I could still see the sweat rolling down the blacksmith's face.

As soon as Zhang De entered, an old man came out to greet him. The old man didn't know Zhang De, and he thought Zhang De was an ordinary customer, so he stepped forward and said, "Guest officer, what do you want to buy, whether it's farm tools or soldiers?" Blades, armor, everything can be sold in the small shop."

Zong Bao next to him said: "This is Master Zhang, the prefect. We want to meet you, the big boss!"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said with a smile: "It turns out that my lord came here in person, my lord, please come with me." He led Zhang De to the back hall and served refreshments.

The old man said again: "My lord, please wait a moment, the master will come right away!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he saw a big man outside the door, carrying a pair of hammers, and shouted as soon as he entered, "Ah, there are guests at home!"

Looking at the pair of big hammers, Zhang De suddenly thought of a person, only to hear the old man say at this moment: "My lord, this is our young master Wu Anguo, the young master, this is the eunuch Mr. Zhang, don't come to see the eunuch yet!"

Zhang Dexin said, this person is indeed Wu Anguo, as he expected.

At this time, a woman who was nearly fifty years old came out of the door. Seeing Zhang De, she hurriedly bowed down and said, "Old Wu An's family is Yu, and I have seen the prefect!"

Only then did Zhang De realize that Wu Anguo's surname is not Wu but Wu An!No wonder it was named Wu'an Tiefang!At this moment, the old man said: "My lord, this is my wife and the owner of the shop!"

This woman is Wu Anguo's mother. Wu Anguo's father died early, and his mother worked hard to bring him up. Fortunately, everyone in the blacksmith shop is loyal. The two can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing.Wu Anguo's mother, Mrs. Yu, was very good at managing money, so after Mrs. Yu took charge of Wu'an Ironworks, business improved day by day, and the scale of the blacksmith shop continued to expand.

"A few days ago, I would like to thank the prefect for taking care of the small shop. Come and serve it!" Yu said.

I saw a servant come in with a big plate, covered with a red cloth, Yu opened the red cloth, and found a plate of gold inside, only to hear Yu say: "It's not a respect, I hope adults will accept it! "

Mrs. Yu had long ago found out that Zhang De, the new prefect, was Zhang Rang's godson. A few days ago, Zhang De made a large number of farm tools from the shop. Mrs. Yu didn't know that the money Zhang De used was given by Zhang Rang at that time. Zhang De used Curry's money, and this time he came to ask for a kickback.So when he heard that Zhang Deqin was coming, he immediately prepared gold and sent it over.

Seeing that Mrs. Yu misunderstood him, Zhang De hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, I came here to order another batch of weapons and armor!"

Yu Shi was stunned for a moment, and said: "My lord, I know that the weapons and armor used by the Han government have always been made by the official workshop. I don't know how my lord found the small shop?"

Zhang De sighed and said: "To be honest, the official square is far away in Linzi, and the price of the official square is high, I can't bear it!"

"I don't know how many weapons and armor my lord needs?" Yu asked.

Zong Bao next to him took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yu Shi. Yu Shi looked at it, frowned, and said, "I didn't expect the adults to ask for so much. I'm afraid the shop has enough energy to spare!"

"Why?" Zhang De asked.

"My lord, you need a lot of pig iron for the things you need. The pig iron stored in the small shop has been used up for farming tools last time, so the small shop is really a clever woman who can't cook without rice!" Yu replied.

In the Han Dynasty, salt and iron were monopolized, and the iron for folk use was sold in a fixed amount by the government, so the price of folk pig iron was not only expensive, but the quantity was not very large.Especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court's control over iron became more severe, so Wu An's family didn't have much excess iron.

Zhang De thought for a while and said, "Old Madam, don't worry about the pig iron issue, I will transfer it from other places."

"Then I will accept this business! But such a small gift, please accept it with a smile!" Yu Shi brought up the yellow scarf again.

Zhang De refused again and again, but Mrs. Yu wanted to give it away, which made it very troublesome. Wu Anguo next to him couldn't stand it, and said, "Mother, since Mr. Zhang doesn't want it, you can keep it!"

--------------------------------

Let me explain: I don't know whether Wu Anguo's surname is Wu or Wu An.After all, there are too few records about Wu Anguo in official history.Greedy Chong checked the legends of unofficial history. One said that Wu'an State was famous and named Anguo; another said that Wu'an State was a descendant of Bai Qi. Misfortune, changed his surname to Wu'an.No matter what the reality is, let’s take Wu’an’s surname as Wu’an here. After all, I’ve checked the Three Kingdoms and found that except for minorities and military generals with double surnames, most people’s names have two characters, so I prefer Wu’an’s surname to Wu’an. , It can be regarded as something fresh for everyone!If you have any disagreements, book lovers should stop arguing with gluttons, novels are inherently fictional!By the way, I have the cheek to recommend it to everyone!
