Chapter 160 Look At The Big Picture, My Brother Must Not Be Shabby

“Big brother, long time no see.

Ive really missed you.” Zhou greeted his sworn brother warmly as soon as he entered the room.

Mi Ziwen smiled.

“Should I address you as marquis”

“Big Brother, dont joke with me.” Zhou Shu shook his head and smiled.

“By the way, Big Brother, when did you return If I had known, I would have gone out of the city to welcome

you.

“Greetings, Great General.”

While talking to Mi Ziwen, Zhou Shu didnt forget to greet Great General Meng.

He was also slightly surprised.

Why did Great General Meng age so much in just a few months

No one would have thought that he was Great Xias God of War.

People would have thought that he was an ordinary old man on the streets.

But Great General Meng had lost all his cultivation because he had been injured.

He didnt have any cultivation base, and he wasnt young anymore.

It seemed normal for him to be like this.

It will be terrible if I dont have any cultivation.

I dont want to end up like this.

Zhou Shus desire to increase his strength became even more urgent.

Putting everything aside, if I am strong, I wont be afraid of aging.

I might even be able to live a long life.

What a good thing.

Meng Bai nodded with a smile.

When he first met Zhou Shu at the Forging Division, Zhou Shu had just been a Forging Apprentice.

At the time, he had wanted to help the country discover talents.

He didnt expect him to reach this level in just a few months.

Not only had he advanced to Forging Master, but he had also become the You Marquis.

His cultivation base had even reached the seventh rank.

Although a seventh-rank martial artist couldnt be considered an expert, he had already reached a considerable rank.

Just this point alone was enough for him to establish himself in Great Xia.

Only after meeting Zhou Shu did Meng Bai discover that it seemed he really didnt need to acknowledge him as his teacher.

But Zhou Shu was extremely polite to him.

Rejecting to be his disciple was one thing, but disrespecting Meng Bai was another.

After all, Meng Bai was Great Xias God of War, right

“Great General, what can I do for you” Zhou Shu said politely.

Mi Ziwen looked at Zhou Shu, then at Meng Bai, and sighed inwardly.

Both of them are maintaining a polite and distant attitude.

How can they do that How should I break this stalemate

“Its nothing actually.” Meng Bai smiled and shook his head.

“I came to report to you, Marquis.”

“Great General, please dont call me that.

I am not worthy of it,” Zhou Shu hurriedly said.

“Just call me by my name.

What do you mean by reporting”

He was confused.

“After this military parade, Teacher will retire and return to civilian life.

He will no longer be leading troops in the future,” Mi Ziwen explained.

“Return to civilian life” Zhou Shu was a little surprised.

But when he saw Great General Mengs appearance, he understood.

Great General Meng didnt seem to be in good condition, so it might be a good thing for him to retire.

“Teacher will be the Huaxia Pavilions adviser in the future.

He will use his experience to provide suggestions and references to the Huaxia Pavilions weapons development,” Mi Ziwen continued.

“From now on, you and Teacher will be colleagues.”

“Huh” Zhou Shu was truly shocked this time.

No one told him about this!

Meng Bai is coming to the Huaxia Pavilion

In that case, who will have the final say in the Huaxia Pavilion Me or Meng Bai

No matter how confident Zhou Shu was, he didnt dare say that he could fight Meng Bai right now.

With Meng Bais current condition, Zhou Shu could kill him with a single finger.

But some things couldnt be done with brute force.

After all, Meng Bai was the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Great Xia.

Even if he took off his armor, his influence in the army was not something that ordinary people could compare to.

Moreover, Meng Bais official position was even above his own.

They couldnt just start fighting and killing over official matters, right

Meng Bai looked at Zhou Shu, seeming to understand what he was thinking.

He said with a smile, “Im old.

I just want to contribute with my experience.

In the future, you will be my superior, Marquis.

Im afraid I wont be able to answer roll call every day.”

Since Meng Bai spoke like this, what else could Zhou Shu say But thinking about it, Meng Bai looked like he could die anytime.

He probably didnt come to the Huaxia Pavilion with the intention to seize power.

In any case, would the mighty Great Xia God of War come and attempt to take over a mere Huaxia Pavilion

This was equivalent to a national leader vying for the position of a company commander.

It was utter nonsense!

He might really be looking for a place to retire.

“Great General, actually…” Zhou Shu felt relieved and smiled again.

“The Huaxia Pavilion hasnt been built yet.

Not even a piece of tile has been laid…”

The Huaxia Pavilion was still in the midst of planning and was far from completion.

From the looks of it, Meng Bai might not be able to wait until the day the Huaxia Pavilion was built.

“Thats why even I am in the residence forging.

Our Huaxia Pavilion is temporarily unable to provide you with workspace,” Zhou Shu continued.

“I know.” Meng Bai smiled.

“Ive also heard a bit about your plans for the Huaxia Pavilion.

If you dont mind, I actually have some experience with construction planning.

How about you give me the blueprints of the Huaxia Pavilion

“I came to the Huaxia Pavilion without any contributions.

I should do my part to contribute to the Huaxia Pavilion.”

Great General Meng Bai was definitely a rare genius.

Leading troops to fight also involved setting up camps.

He had some experience in construction techniques and architecture.

It could even be said that he was an expert in this field.

Very few people knew that Great General Mengs painting skills were unparalleled.

“Isnt this too troublesome” Zhou Shu noticed that Mi Ziwen kept winking at him.

He understood Mi Ziwens winking as confirmation that Great General Meng was indeed an expert in construction.

Even if he wasnt, the resources he could mobilize were probably not something he could compare to.

In that case, why would he reject such a good opportunity

“Its not troublesome,” Meng Bai said with a smile.

“When you are old, you always have to find something to do, or else you will age even faster.”

“Thank you, Great General.” Zhou Shu was overjoyed.

“Great General, I still have some ideas about the Huaxia Pavilion.

We can discuss it…”

Zhou Shu and Meng Bai discussed for a full four hours, and Meng Bai had a look of admiration on his face.

“No wonder you are able to develop weapons like the Horse Slaying Saber and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber.

Your thoughts are truly unrestrained and unpredictable,” Meng Bai said.

“Great General, you flatter me.

I just thought about them when I had nothing to do.

I dont know if they can be realized.” Zhou Shu smiled.

He had seen too many exquisite buildings in his previous life.

There were also television dramas and online games with beautiful Mount Shu scenery.

They were all full of immortal aura.

In any case, talk was free.

He was just stating his thoughts.

Whether they could be realized or not was something that the craftsmen had to consider.

“Its a little difficult, but its not impossible,” Meng Bai said, his tone more confident than the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works.

“Leave it to me,” Meng Bai said indifferently, fully displaying his confidence.

Great General Mengs words were a promise that the matter was resolved!

In Great Xia, if Great General Meng couldnt resolve the matter, then even Emperor Yuan Feng wouldnt be of much use.

“Teacher, Second Brother,” Mi Ziwen suddenly said.

“If we build the Huaxia Pavilion according to Second Brothers plan, Im afraid it will cost a lot.

“Although the Imperial Court will bear the cost of building the Huaxia Pavilion, Im afraid that the funding from the Imperial Court may be delayed.

In that case, the Huaxia Pavilions construction period will definitely be extended indefinitely.”

There was something he didnt say out loud.

Meng Bai didnt have much time left, at most several years.

If the Huaxia Pavilion was built too slowly, Meng Bai might not even be able to see its completion.

This couldnt happen.

“I cant help with other things, so Ill contribute some money,” Mi Ziwen continued.

“There are also some craftsmen in the Mi family whom I can transfer over.

“How about this Ill contribute one hundred thousand taels of gold first.

Lets build up the foundation of the Huaxia Pavilion!” Mi Ziwen said casually.

One hundred thousand taels of gold was like ten taels of silver to him.

Zhou Shu secretly clicked his tongue.

As expected of my rich big brother, he offered one hundred thousand taels of gold just like that.

“Second Brother, youre a marquis now.

Isnt this residence a bit too shabby You dont even have many maids.” Mi Ziwen looked around.

“Ill get Steward Mi to send you another hundred maids later…”

Zhou Shu: “…”

One hundred maids

To serve me alone

Do you have to be so extravagant

Why am I a little tempted

The maids of this world can warm the bed…

“No need, Big Brother.” Zhou Shu was very conflicted as he refused.

Women will only affect my forging! “I dont need any maids.

Besides, I often go into seclusion to forge.

When the Huaxia Pavilion is built in the future, Im afraid I wont have much time to stay at the marquiss mansion.”

“Just have them around.

A hundred people wont cost much,” Mi Ziwen said calmly.

What surprised Zhou Shu was that Meng Bai also seemed to feel like it was only natural.

These despicable nobles.

Thats not right.

I also have a noble status

now…

Damn, they led me astray!

Say, can we not discuss this

“Big Brother, lets not talk about maids.” Zhou Shu changed the topic.

“I recently forged a batch of Eight-Sided Han Swords, but you should know that I have no way of selling them.

Why dont you help me out, Big Brother”

The two people in front of him were military big shots.

If Zhou Shu wanted to promote his Eight-Sided Han Swords, there was no one better than them.

“Eight-Sided Han Swords”

Mi Ziwen and Meng Bai looked at each other, and they both smiled.

They were just discussing how to display the power of the Eight-Sided Han Swords on the battlefield.

What a coincidence.

“Second Brother, what do you think” Mi Zi Wen smiled.

“I think that weapons are used to kill enemies.

They should not be left lying around serving only as decorations.

“A weapon should naturally be equipped with a fierce warrior.

I want to equip the Eight-Sided Han Swords to the soldiers fighting on the front line.

Only in their hands can the Eight-Sided Han Swords display its own might.”

“Thats not a problem.

What Im asking is, what do you think of the price of the Eight-Sided Han Sword” Mi Ziwen smiled.

The Forging Divisions workshops sold weapons.

Although a fee had to be paid to the Forging Division, Zhou Shu would still keep a portion of it.

In other words, the higher the price of the weapon, the more benefits the workshop would receive.

Although it was all Great Xias money, there was a huge difference in who had it.

WS

Zhou Shu was one of his own, so Mi Ziwen wouldnt let him suffer.

Price Zhou Shu thought.

An Eight-Sided Han Sword, including iron and labor costs, would cost around forty to fifty taels of silver.

Among the standard weapons, only the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sabers price was higher than it.

The cost of an Eight-Sided Han Sword was comparable to the income of an ordinary Forging Apprentice for one to two years.

The cost was forty to fifty taels of silver, so selling them for two hundred taels each shouldnt be too much.

Zhou Shu was only a technical talent after all.

He couldnt compare to those black-hearted businessmen.

“Two hundred taels each” Zhou Shu probed.

Two hundred taels for one would be twenty thousand taels of silver for one hundred.

It was quite a big deal for the workshop.

If he continued to supply them in the future, he would definitely be able to let the profits come rolling in the workshop.

This was equivalent to earning more than one hundred taels of silver for each Eight-Sided Han Sword.

“Two hundred taels” Mi Ziwen frowned slightly.

“If its too expensive, we can sell it cheaper.

After all, we are all working for Great Xia, so its fine for the workshop to suffer some loss,” Zhou Shu said.

Using the countrys money to forge the weapons and then selling them back to the country was equivalent to cheating the countrys money.

Zhou Shu still felt a little embarrassed.

“How about a hundred and fifty taels If it really doesnt work, a hundred taels is also acceptable.” Zhou Shu gritted his teeth.

Standard weapons were different from ranked weapons.

It was not unacceptable for a single weapon to have fewer profits.

“Second Brother, ah, Second Brother!” Mi Ziwen shook his head with a bitter smile.

“Second Brother, youre not far-sighted enough.

“Two hundred taels for one Eight-Sided Han Sword.

How can my brother suffer such a loss”

Mi Ziwen said proudly, “With the quality of the Eight-Sided Han Sword, if the price is lower than five hundred taels.

I, Mi Ziwen, will be the first to disagree!

“How many eight-sided Han swords do you have I want all of them.

Five hundred taels each!” Mi Ziwen said generously.

“In the future, this will be the price of the Eight-Sided Han Sword produced by the Forging Division!

 

“Second Brother, its not that I want to interfere, but you have to be far-sighted.

Youre a marquis now.

If you continue to be like this, others will only say that youre too shabby.

Were worth this price, why cant we sell it at this price

“In my opinion, even five hundred taels for an Eight-Sided Han Sword is too cheap! Arent those ranked weapons worth at least one thousand taels of gold The might of an Eight-Sided Han Sword on the battlefield is not inferior to ranked weapons!” Zhou Shu opened his mouth.

The Eight-Sided Han Sword was, after all, a standard weapon.

How could it compare to a ranked weapon

Five hundred taels

Ten times the cost

The scale is too big…
