Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 466 Technology Transfer

Liang Xiao welcomed Chen Xu to the hall, and was very surprised after hearing what Chen Xu wanted to do.

"You want to buy Ironsmithing?"

Chen Xu said with a smile: "Yes, our brothers have always wanted to do something for the court, but literature can't be used as a gift, military can't fight, and there is no way to repay it. Thanks to the Lord's advice, I found some craftsmen and planned to study the iron. This person was also invited, and the money was spent, but he still couldn’t get in. Hearing that Junhou is well-informed, he took the liberty to come here to ask for advice. Don’t worry, as long as you are willing to help, money is not a problem.”

Liang Xiao felt that these words sounded familiar, and in a daze, he seemed to have returned to his previous life to watch gangster movies.However, these noble sons are similar to the gangsters, basically they don't do their business, and their bad things are clean.The Chen family's precious brothers are not very good birds, and it seems that there is no good end for them.

Now they actually know that they want to serve the country, and history has changed beyond recognition.

"I do know a thing or two about the art of smelting iron, but it's all hearsay, so I'm afraid it's not true."

"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Xu said quickly: "As long as the Lord is willing to give pointers, I will be grateful, and there must be a big thank you."

Liang Xiao didn't quite understand.This guy is really here to ask for advice on the art of iron smelting, or to show off his wealth, how come he looks like Ye Liangchen.He thought for a while, then declined: "Why don't you do this? I've thought about it carefully, and I'll tell Chen Jun when I've thought it through. How about it?"

"Don't." Chen Xu became a little anxious, leaned over, lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious. "Your Majesty doesn't know, the queen told me this news. The queen said, it was sent by your majesty. You said, both your majesty and the queen trust you, can I not trust you?"

When Liang Xiao heard it, he finally understood a little bit.It turns out that the question about the art of smelting iron is false, but the gift of money is true.If so, then I'm sorry.

"Since it is the suggestion of His Majesty and the Queen, I will not refuse." Liang Xiao said, stretching out two fingers and shaking them in front of Chen Xu.The corners of Chen Xu's mouth twitched, and then he gritted his teeth again. "Okay, two thousand gold, no problem."

"Two thousand gold?" Liang Xiao was surprised. "Chen Jun may have misunderstood. What I mean is that there are two keys to the art of iron smelting, but it doesn't mean that it costs two thousand gold."

Chen Xu regretted it too late.Although the Chen family was rich, the money was in the hands of his parents, and two thousand gold was beyond his control.But the words have already been spoken, and he is too embarrassed to take them back.Besides, Liang Xiao also said that there are two keys to the art of smelting iron. If he backs out, what if he said half and kept the other half?
"It's just right, one trick is worth a thousand gold, how about it?" Chen Xu slapped his thigh, pretending to be proud.

"This..." Liang Xiao laughed. "Chen Jun is too polite, but I don't dare to accept it. How about this, let me talk about one first, and charge Chen Jun a thousand gold. After Chen Jun goes back to verify, if he thinks it's worth it, then talk about the second one. If it's not worth it, then it's fine." gone."

Chen Xu heaved a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.After all, taking out two thousand gold all at once is too biting, and one thousand gold is still acceptable.Anyway, he came here to give money, even if Liang Xiao didn't say a word, he still wanted to give Liang Xiao a daughter.

"It depends on the king."

"I heard from craftsmen that the art of smelting iron should be divided into two steps. One is to make soft, and the other is to make rigid. Both are indispensable. This art of making soft is like practicing the Daoyin technique before practicing martial arts. Similarly, you must first lay a solid foundation, and then you can practice superior martial arts. The art of softness is also simple to say, and it is the same as practicing Daoyin art, it needs to be repeated repeatedly..."

Liang Xiao explained in detail.Although he is not majored in metallurgy, he is no stranger to the development history of ancient iron smelting technology. He also discussed these issues with the crippled Brian back then.Of course, these credits are all pushed to the lame old cloth.

Although Chen Xu didn't really believe that Liang Xiao knew the art of iron smelting, but seeing Liang Xiao speak calmly, he believed it a little bit, and felt that the thousand dollars might not be too much money, and it should be useful.He thanked him again and again, offered a thousand gold, and made a promise with Liang Xiao that he would never tell this secret to anyone else, so he rushed home and rushed into the workshop.

The reason why he was in such a rush to experiment was because his mother, Princess Guantao, said that whoever can develop it first will inherit her fortune in the future.Although his father also has the title of Marquis of Tangyi, compared with his mother, Princess Guantao, it is a world apart.

Chen Xu knew that his younger brother Chen Yu must be watching him, and he couldn't hide his going to Liang Xiao's house for too long.He had to verify whether Liang Xiao's method was effective in the shortest possible time, and then decide whether to compete with Chen Yu for the second trick of making rigidity.

It was the first time in Chen Xu's life that he was so serious. After spending three days in the workshop, he finally succeeded in the experiment.Chen Xu was overjoyed when the iron knife made by repeated overlapping strokes slashed the pig iron and bent into an arc, but it didn't break in two as usual.

Liang Xiao was right, the flexibility of pig iron can indeed be greatly improved after repeated beating.

Since Zhirou was successful, Zhigang should not be bad either.If he could forge a knife that was not easy to break and was very sharp, then the art of iron smelting would be considered a success, and he would have the hope of inheriting his mother's huge property.

Chen Xu excitedly rushed to Liang's house again.

"Your Majesty, I'm leaving now." Han Yan cupped her hands and exchanged glances with the emperor.

The emperor is a little tired.For several days in a row, one against three, even though he was still very interested, he still felt tired and had to find a reason to leave Jiaofang Hall temporarily.

"You have to ask clearly what technology it is, and you can't be fooled by Liang Xiao." The emperor opened his mouth wide and yawned. "At least it must be comparable to the double-faced brocade."

"Wei." Han Yan smiled even more happily. "If not?"

"No? Then bring the money back." The emperor laughed badly. "It's not that I don't give money, it's that he doesn't have the ability to earn it himself, so you can't blame me."

"Your Majesty is wise." Han Yan was overjoyed and walked away triumphantly.Whether it's worth it or not, isn't it up to him to decide?No matter what kind of technology Liang Xiao has to sell, as long as he insists that it is not worth a thousand dollars, Liang Xiao can do nothing.Just to let you look at the daughter but not get it, so be anxious.

Is it so easy to take advantage of the emperor?

As soon as Chen Xu entered the atrium of the Liang family, he saw a familiar figure.His younger brother Chen Yu was sitting in the hall, talking happily with Liang Xiao.Chen Xu's heart sank, and he hurried over. "Second brother, why are you here?"

Chen Yu said with a half smile: "Brother, why are you here? Seeing your joyful face, Liang Junhou's art of softening must have been accomplished."

Chen Xu gave Chen Xu a hard look, and dragged him to the front yard. "Are you here to fight with me?"

Chen Yu drooped his eyelids. "Brother, you already got one, leave the rest to me."

"What's the use of leaving it to you?" Chen Xu said viciously: "Without this trick in my hands, even if you spend thousands of gold, it's useless."

"Who said it's useless?" Chen Yu bared his teeth and grinned like a wolf. "I can resell it to you. Liang Junhou kept his word, you bought the first trick, no matter how much I paid, he refused to tell me. If that's the case, I'll buy the second one. Resold to you."

"Pfft!" Chen Xu was speechless.However, he also knew that if it was him, he would do the same.After all, compared with the wealth owned by the mother, a daughter is really nothing.

The two brothers were staring at each other. Han Yan walked in from the outside. Once she entered their appearance, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You two, what are you doing? If you want to fight, you shouldn't fight at Liang's house, right?"

Chen Xu glanced at the box behind Han Yan carried by the two Lang officials, and his heart tightened again.He knew that the emperor would also send money to Liang Xiao, but he didn't know whether to give it for free, or like him, to buy a certain technology of Liang Xiao.

"Han Wangsun, you are..."

"Oh, by the order of the emperor, come to discuss with Liang Junhou to see if there are any good things like double-faced brocade that can be transferred. By the way, I heard that your brothers are studying the art of iron control. How is the progress? Your majesty can wait It's up to you to offer your knives."

The Chen brothers glanced at each other, ignored Han Yan, and rushed to the hall.The emperor is waiting to present the sword?It's not just a question of money, maybe you can reward an official to do it.How could such an opportunity not be seized.

Chen Xu took the first step and rushed in front of Liang Xiao. "Liang Junhou, it's better to be a master than to be a master. I want your second trick. How much do you want? I will make a price. I will never hesitate."

Chen Yu also snatched it over, and said loudly: "Liang Junhou, everything is first come first, first come first, I come first, you have to give it to me first."

Looking at the pair of brothers who were bidding each other, Liang Xiao really didn't know what to say.At this moment, Han Yan walked in, and was stunned seeing the Chen brothers' faces flushed and refusing to give in to each other.

"Liang Junhou's business is booming."

Liang Xiao smiled and ignored Han Yan's teasing. "Han Wangsun, I don't know what you can do for you to come here?"

Han Yan was depressed in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face.He laughed loudly. "I am ordered by His Majesty to come and see what other good technologies you can transfer here. Here, you have also seen that here is a thousand gold. As long as it is worth the money, these are all yours."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, sighed intentionally, and bowed in the direction of Weiyang Palace. "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and we are far behind."

Han Yan smiled openly. "Liang Junhou, I'm afraid you misunderstood. This is not for you. It is used by His Majesty to buy technology. If you don't have good enough technology to transfer, I will take it back."

Liang Xiao was filled with emotion. "Han Wangsun, don't you understand His Majesty's intentions? He is buying bones with thousands of dollars, in order to show the people of the world that he is serious about industry. If it is an exchange of equal value, how can there be any technology so valuable in the world? Originally I thought it was just the two Chen Jun's old-fashioned and warm-hearted, but now I know that His Majesty's real intentions are far-reaching, and he is worthy of being a rare Ming Jun in the ages."

Han Yan was speechless.He had an ominous premonition: this daughter might not be able to get it back.
