Chapter 419 Is Sincerity Enough?
There are soft and glutinous potatoes, golden corn, and crystal clear, plump-grained high-quality rice.
Yunfu has always been generous to others. In order to reward them for their contribution, she gave each of them a few pounds of potatoes, corn and rice.
When the food was placed before everyone, they had no choice but to believe it.
"I asked the people in the Eighth District, and they said the Princess asked them to grow these things. So, as long as we listen to the Princess, we will definitely be able to live a good life like the people in the Eighth District."
"I understand. From now on, if the princess says to go east, we won't go west."
"Yes, if we follow the princess, we will definitely be able to live a life where there is more food than we can eat, absolutely more than we can eat!"
…
Yun Fu's prestige in the eyes of everyone in the Seventh District had unknowingly increased.
——
A few days later, the first batch of refractory bricks was fired.
Next came the second and third batches.
When the quantity was sufficient, they began to build the blast furnace.
Yunfu planned the blueprints in advance and selected craftsmen who were all experienced in building houses. They built the blast furnace according to the blueprints.
But this blast furnace is not an ordinary house after all. Yun Fu was afraid that the craftsmen would encounter any difficulties during the construction process, so she stayed here almost all day.
"Seventh Master, tell me, why have those dogs from the Wangchuan Sect in the Naihe Hall of the Sixth Class District become so well-behaved recently? I haven't seen them wandering around the Seventh Class District for a long time. I'm not used to it." Xuanji Zhang was particularly interested in the hydraulic blower and stayed here to study it for a long time.
During the chat, Naihe Hall was mentioned.
Yun Fu was sitting under a tree taking a nap.
Xuanji Zhang's words disturbed Yun Fu's rest. Qi Hanzhou glared at her coldly and said, "If you're so curious, why don't you go to the sixth-class area and ask them?"
Xuan Ji Zhang Han smiled and said that he was not curious at all.
But there are some things that I really can’t help but think about!
The next day, people came from the sixth district.
At that time, Yun Fu, Qi Hanzhou and others were still staying at the ironworks.
Cheng Qingyan sent someone on horseback to deliver the message.
"What? People from the Sixth District have arrived at the city gate? Master Qi, this has nothing to do with me! I just said it casually yesterday." Xuanji Zhang immediately raised his hand, pointed to the sky and swore that he was innocent.
Yun Fu didn't doubt him. At most, this man was just a bad-mouthed person.
——
Cheng Qingyan had been waiting at the city gate for a long time.
"What? The fight hasn't started yet?" Yun Fu dismounted, yawning, and asked Cheng Qingyan as she moved forward.
"This time, they are not here to attack the seventh-class area." Cheng Qingyan's eyelids twitched twice. She came up and asked if the fight had begun. It was indeed what this little girl would say.
"Ah? If you're not here to attack the seventh-level area, then what are you here for?" Xuanji Zhang stretched his neck and asked.
"They brought supplies and came to sue for peace."
"Ahem, what did you say? The sun rose from the west? Those wild dogs from Naihe Hall who only knew how to rob supplies actually came to ask for peace with them."
Not only Xuanji Zhang was excited, Cheng Qingyan and the people in the seventh district also felt it was sudden.
You must know that the sixth-level district represents not only the sixth-level district, but also the power of the Wangchuan Sect.
Given the ferocity with which Naihetang attacked the Seventh Class District in the past, no one would have thought that there would come a day when they would bow down and ask for peace with the Seventh Class District.
Cheng Qingyan asked someone to invite Yun Fu over just to ask her opinion.
After all, this is no small matter.
"Want to talk to them?"
Yun Fu twisted her sore neck and said, "That depends on their sincerity. How much supplies have they brought?"
Cheng Qingyan replied: "Not many, only four or five cars."
Yun Fu continued, "How does that compare to the supplies they stole from the Seventh District?"
Cheng Qingyan said: "Less than 10%."
Yun Fu raised the corners of her lips and chuckled, "Then their attitude towards seeking peace isn't sincere enough!"
After stealing so many things, they pretended to give back less than 10% of them.
Who are you fooling?
"Leave the supplies behind. As for the people, beat them up and send them back. Tell their leader to come back when you're ready with sincerity."
If the sixth-level area can be taken without bloodshed, who would be willing to fight and kill?
But the other party's sincerity is obviously not enough.
They say they are asking for peace, but who knows what they are planning secretly.
"good."
There were not many people coming to Naihe Hall this time, only about thirty people.
There was no need for Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou to take action. Cheng Qingyan led the guards and captured everyone.
"We are here to seek peace. Please don't kill us. These supplies are a small gift from our leader."
"Hey, hold on! We're here to deliver supplies, not to make enemies with you from District Seven."
…
Xuanji Zhang threw a punch and said, "This is a really meager gift from your Hall Master. You think you can make peace with us with just this little thing? You're dreaming! Have you forgotten how much supplies you looted from our Seventh Class District?"
"But, but we have taken the initiative to ask for peace, don't be ungrateful." The people in Naihetang looked down on the people in the Seventh District from the very beginning. Therefore, they thought that as long as they lowered their heads and asked for peace with a smile, the people in the Seventh District would definitely agree with gratitude.
After all, this is the opportunity that Wangchuan taught them.
"Bah!" Xuanji Zhang spat at him. "I stabbed you. If I say sorry to you, will you forgive me with a smile?"
"Well, how much supplies do you want?" The minions who came to Naihe Hall to ask for peace were beaten black and blue.
Yun Fu walked out from behind the crowd of onlookers and said in a clear voice, "Go back and tell your hall master that we want the entire sixth-class area."
The minions from Naihe Hall across from her all looked at her, all with a look that said, "Is this woman crazy?"
Isn't she crazy when she talks like that?
Everyone knows that the sixth-class district is the territory of the Wangchuan Sect.
Xuanji Zhang was afraid they hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated it again: "You all heard our Seventh Master's words clearly. Go back and tell your hall master without missing a word."
After driving the minions of Naihetang back to the sixth-class area.
Yun Fu returned to the ironworks.
Continue to build the blast furnace.
Time passed quickly, and the blast furnace that everyone had been looking forward to was finally built.
Looking at the huge thing standing tall in front of them, the expressions on the faces of the onlookers were all excited.
Everyone has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Next, can we smelt iron here?"
"yes."
Yunfu asked one group of people to go to the mining area to transport iron ore, and another group of people to transport the charcoal made by the soldiers of the Qi family army.
Wait until everything is ready.
The higher purity iron ore is put into the blast furnace.
