Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 468
The Son of Heaven is not Han Yan who only has conflicts in his heart, he knows very well that Liang Xiao is not an ordinary warrior.

It is true that Liang Xiao established himself with archery skills and military merits, but his most powerful weapon is his keen thinking and pragmatic attitude.

Liang Xiao's emphasis on numbers has been fully revealed from his previous assistance in planning the Henan War.The biggest difference between him and Yan Zhu and others is not his fierce tactics of directly attacking the Huns' vital points, but his accurate estimation of the deployment of troops, food and grass.How many soldiers should be used, how much food should be transferred, how many trips per day, and how long it will take, he will implement specific figures.

Afterwards, the summary proved that the course of the war hardly exceeded Liang Xiao's estimate.

Sometimes, the Son of Heaven would have an illusion that Liang Xiao was not a young man who had just become weak, but a middle-aged man with rich experience.He is not a shooter with superb archery skills, but a knowledgeable and wise man with outstanding knowledge and unique vision.

This kind of thinking made him feel unspeakable worries from time to time.He was worried that Liang Xiaowei would become a minister like Zhou Bo and his son, so he decided to use Wei Qing to balance him and contain him, at least not to let him become a big one in the army.

Power ministers are not to be feared, what is to be feared are heavy generals who hold military power.

Emperor Xiaojing killed Chao Cuo with only one edict. How much trouble did it take to kill Zhou Yafu?
As long as Liang Xiao is not in the army, his threat will be much smaller. Even if the emperor is still afraid of him, he will not be afraid of him.Under the premise of safety, he can even fully tap his abilities and play his role as much as possible.

If it wasn't so, how could he tolerate Liang Xiao playing tricks and temper in front of him.

After Chen Xu spent a thousand dollars, he spared no expense to compete with Chen Xu for another technology, which shows that his previous thousand dollars was worth it.If Chen Xu can use two thousand gold to complete the upgrade of iron smelting technology, produce sharper weapons, and present it to the court, he is willing to reward the Chen family with twenty thousand gold.

The upgrading of weapons and equipment is of great significance to improving the combat effectiveness of the army and reducing casualties of soldiers.With better equipment, he could achieve the same goal with fewer troops, perhaps saving more than [-] gold in a single war.

With Liang Xiao's intelligence, it is impossible for him not to know how much the iron smelting technology is worth, but he did not use it himself, nor did he dedicate it to the court, but sold it to the Chen family, so naturally he has his own thoughts.However, as long as he doesn't rely on his skills, the emperor can tolerate his petty thoughts.

After all, whether the Chen family can continue to be rich or not is not up to the Chen family, but to the emperor.All the efforts of the Chen family were the same as that of the sisters. They were useless except for favors. In the end, it was the court who benefited the most.

How many secrets like iron smelting technology does Liang Xiao know?The emperor was very curious and moved.If he wants to conquer the world, he needs more wealth and technology, and Liang Xiao is undoubtedly a treasure mountain.

You must take this treasure mountain into your own hands.

"Wang Sun, take this formula as a question and ask scholars all over the world. Those who can solve the formula will be given to Zhonglang."

"Your Majesty..." Han Yan was taken aback, "Zhonglang is a close minister of Liubaishi, equivalent to the magistrate of the county. This starting point is not low."

"Don't be nervous." The emperor smiled. "If someone can solve this fixed formula, six hundred stones are nothing, and two thousand stones are no problem."

Han Yan stuck out her tongue and said nothing.He felt that the Son of Heaven was enraged by Liang Xiao, and wanted to gather all the talents of the world to deal with Liang Xiao alone.

-

Sitting opposite Liang Xiao, the Chen brothers looked nervous.

When dealing with Han Yan, they can be brothers and sisters, but when it comes to their own interests, they immediately become opponents.

Whoever gives Liang Xiao the ability to achieve rigidity may have a winning advantage, and whoever has the huge wealth in Grandma's hands may belong to him.At this moment, any brotherhood is forgotten and is not worth mentioning.

Liang Xiao sipped his tea and looked at the Chen brothers, feeling a little embarrassed. "You say, who am I good for?"

"Of course it's for me." Chen Xu said first, "I was the one who contacted Junhou first, so it should be given to me."

"I came first today." Chen Yu showed no sign of weakness. "Besides, you already have the art of making softness, why bother to compete with me for the art of making rigidity? Wouldn't it be more fair for us to each hold half of it?"

"Half you, half me, what's the use, they're all half-finished products." Chen Xu said angrily, "I'm elder brother, how can you rob me?"

Chen Yu confronted each other. "Brother and friend. You are not friends, but you still expect me to be respectful?"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that the Chen brothers were about to attack again, Liang Xiao hurriedly stopped them. "Chen Jun, since you know that half of a person is a half-finished product, why don't you know the meaning of brotherhood, which can break gold?"

"Uh..." Chen Xu blushed.The two brothers are arguing casually at home, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing to argue like this in front of outsiders.

Chen Yu snorted, but remained silent.

"Actually, I have a way. I wonder if you two are interested in listening."

The Chen brothers glanced at each other, then looked at Liang Xiao in puzzlement. "If you have any great opinions, you might as well speak up."

"You all know that salt and iron are the foundation of the country. Your Majesty wants to conquer all directions, and weapons and equipment are necessary. Farmers want to cultivate, and farm tools are indispensable. The wide application of iron is really unimaginable. Weapon production is the sphere of influence of the imperial court. , you don’t want to think about it, but other than that, the benefits you can get are still not to be underestimated, enough to make the two of you brothers have no worries about food and clothing. If this is the case, it is better to cooperate than to fight."

The Chen brothers' eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "Get together? How can we get along?"

"Partnership. You do it together, agree on the proportion of investment, and then share the profit according to the proportion. Brothers, settle accounts clearly, no one takes advantage of others, and then take advantage of others together."

"Okay!" Chen Xu couldn't help shouting, clapping his hands in applause.

"I also think it's feasible." Chen Xu looked at Chen Xu. "Brother, shall we discuss it?"

"Okay!" Chen Xu nodded with a smile. "Thank you Liang Junhou. To express my gratitude, this art of rigidity..."

"I don't plan to sell out." Liang Xiao said with a smile, "I want to buy shares."

Chen Xu rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Liang Xiao meant.He couldn't ask for more.Liang Xiao would rather not have a daughter, but also do it with them, which shows that Liang Xiao's art of making rigidity is by no means empty words.Although they wanted to share part of the dividends with Liang Xiao, a talent like Liang Xiao couldn't be recruited even if they wanted to, so how could he refuse.

Chen Xu and Chen Yu exchanged a look, and the two brothers agreed with each other, agreeing unanimously.

Lei was hurried into Liu Ling's study and said a few words in a low voice.

Liu Ling was startled and raised his head. "No way?"

"It's absolutely true." Lei Bei had a strange expression on his face, and he couldn't tell what it meant. There was confusion, worry, and a bit of unspeakable envy. "Chen Xu went to Liang's house twice in succession, and each time he brought a lot of money. Han Yan also went there with a box and returned with a silk book. Here, this is a silk book. It has been circulated in Chang'an City Opened, it is said that the person who can solve the fixed formula will be awarded six hundred stone doctors."

Lei was placed on the case with the copied silk script.Liu Ling took it and believed it after just one look.No one could solve this kind of problem except Liang Xiao.

"Is he so short of money? It's the emperor's fault."

Ray's cheek twitched for a moment. "The problem is that the emperor seems very willing to be blackmailed by him."

Liu Ling put down the silk book, pressed his hand on it, and patted it a few times, his eyebrows and eyes were lively.She thought for a while and ordered, "Let him come."

"My lord, isn't it suitable?" Lei was reminded: "The wedding is coming soon, you should not meet each other, lest you be laughed at."

"A joke?" Liu Ling snorted, but his eyes were full of tenderness. "Am I still afraid of being laughed at? His dowry is obviously just a few empty words, but now he is selling his knowledge under the guise of raising the dowry. Not only is he shameless, but even my face is humiliated. When others see it, they think I, Huainan, asked him for a dowry gift of tens of thousands of gold. Go, let him come, I want to make sure."

Lei smiled wryly twice, then turned around and left.

An hour later, Liang Xiao hurried into Huainan Mansion.Although he hasn't got married yet, his identity as the son-in-law of Huainan Wang has been firmly established, and the Lord's heart has long been locked on him. The guards and maids of the Huainan mansion dare not neglect. To Liu Ling's study.

"My lord, miss me?"

"I miss you." Liu Ling greeted him, shaking the silk book in his hand. "What are you doing, why are you making a show?"

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment. "How did you have this?"

"Everyone in Chang'an knows it, but you don't." Liu Ling said angrily, "Do you know that this is a test question for the emperor to test the talents of the world. Whoever can solve the formula will be awarded six hundred stone doctors immediately."

"Only six hundred stones?" Liang Xiao was disappointed. "The Son of Heaven is still not generous enough."

"Six hundred stones are not enough? How much do you want?"

Liang Xiao didn't speak, but cast a sideways glance at Liu Ling, and raised his chin. "Can you solve it?"

Liu Ling was at a loss for words immediately, his face flushed slightly.During the time she was waiting for Liang Xiao, she had already tried, at least she hadn't seen any clues yet.

"A problem that you can't solve is only worth six hundred shi? In my opinion, two thousand shi is more than enough. Don't forget, the emperor paid a thousand gold for this, which is enough to pay a salary of two thousand shi for 100 years."

"I was about to ask you, what do you want to do? Ask the emperor for a gift, ask the Chen brothers, can you save me some face, people will think that I asked you for a big betrothal gift. "

"How can you beg?" Liang Xiao was very surprised. "My Lord, it's fine if others don't understand. Why do you say that? Didn't I tell you before that although I'm no longer on the battlefield, the outcome of this contest is more important than the outcome of one or two battles. He is the east wind, I am the west wind, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west overwhelms the east wind, how can one be careless."

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help covering his mouth. "You... really want to do this?"

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "If you don't do this, wouldn't it be a waste of your intelligence and mine? Do you really think that I need to go through such a lot of trouble for the petty profit of a few thousand gold?"
