The emperor is not Han Yan, who only has a fight for his will. He knows very well that Liang Xiao is not an ordinary warrior.

Liang Xiao established himself with his shooting skills and entered the officialdom with military achievements, but his most powerful weapon was his keen thinking and pragmatic mentality.

Liang Xiao's attention to numbers has been fully revealed since he helped plan the Henan battle. The biggest difference between him and Yan Zhu and others was not his fierce tactics to hit the key points of the Huns, but his precise estimate of the allocation of troops and food. He will implement the specific numbers as much troops as he should use, how much grain to transfer, how much it takes, and how long it takes.

The subsequent summary proves that the war process almost did not reach the scope of Liang Xiao's estimate.

Sometimes, the emperor has an illusion that Liang Xiao is not a young man who has just won the crown, but a middle-aged man with rich experience. He is not a sniffer with high sniffing skills, but also a knowledgeable and wise man with unique vision.

This idea often made him feel indescribable. 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, restrain him, and at least not let him become a big shot in the army.

Powerful ministers are not scary, what is scary is the important generals who hold military power.

Emperor Xiaojing killed Chao Cuo with only one edict. How many troubles 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 explore his abilities and play his role as much as possible.

If it weren't for this, how could he tolerate Liang Xiao being clever and making a little mean in front of him?

After spending a thousand gold, Chen Xu spared no expense to compete with Chen Xu for another technology, which shows that his previous daughter was worth it. If Chen Xu could upgrade the iron smelting technology at a cost of two thousand gold, make a sharper weapon, and offer it to the court, he would be willing to reward the Chen family with 20,000 gold.

The upgrade 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 can achieve the same goal with less troops. Perhaps the expenditure saved in a war will exceed 20,000 yuan.

With Liang Xiao's intelligence, he could not have known how much iron smelting technology is worth, but he did not use it himself and did not offer it to the court. Instead, he sold it to the Chen family, so he naturally had his little thoughts. However, as long as he did not take advantage of his skills, the emperor could tolerate his little thoughts.

After all, the decision to decide whether the Chen family can continue its wealth is not with the Chen family, but with the emperor. All the efforts of the Chen family are the same as those of the sisters. Apart from competing for favor, there is nothing to do. In the end, the court is the one who benefits the most.

Liang Xiao knew so many secrets similar to iron smelting technology? The emperor was very curious and moved. If he wanted to conquer the world, he needed more wealth and technology, and Liang Xiao was undoubtedly a treasure mountain.

This treasure mountain must be held in your own hands.

"The prince, with this fixed pattern as the topic, he asked the scholars of the world. Those who can understand the fixed pattern will be given the Central Army."

"Your Majesty" Han Yan was shocked. "The Zhonglang is a close minister of 600 stones, equivalent to the county magistrate, and this starting point is not low."

"Don't be nervous." The emperor smiled. "If someone can really figure out this pattern, six hundred stones are worth it, and two thousand stones are fine."

Han Yan stuck out her tongue and said nothing. He felt that the emperor was angry with Liang Xiao and wanted to gather the world's talents to deal with Liang Xiao alone.

The Chen brothers sat opposite Liang Xiao, looking nervous.

When dealing with Han Yan, they could be brothers, but it involved their own interests. They immediately became opponents.

Whoever Liang Xiao gave the skills of Zhigang in his hand could have the advantage of Zhigang, and whoever his mother could have the huge wealth. At this moment, all brotherhood was left behind. It was not worth mentioning.

Liang Xiao sipped the tea and looked at the Chen brothers, feeling a little embarrassed. "Who do you think I'll give me?"

"Of course it's for me." Chen Xu said first: "I contacted Junhou first, so I should give it to me."

"I came first today." Chen Xiang was not showing any weakness. "Besides, you have already developed the technique of softening. Why should you compete with me for the technique of hardening? We each hold half of it, isn't it more fair?"

"What's the use of you, half me, is it all half-finished." Chen Xu said angrily: "I am my brother, how can you compete with me?"

Chen Xi confronted me. "Brothers, brothers, respect brothers. If you are not friendly, you still expect me to be respectful?"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that the Chen brothers were about to take action again, Liang Xiao quickly stopped them. "Mr. Chen, since you know that half of each person is half-finished, why don't you know that brothers are united and their power is to cut off gold?"

"Uh" Chen Xu was embarrassed. The two brothers made trouble at home, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing to fight in front of outsiders.

Chen Xi snorted and stopped saying a word.

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

The Chen brothers looked at each other and looked at Liang Xiao in confusion. "What are your opinions? You might as well speak out."

"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 essential products. Farmers need to farm, and farm tools are indispensable. The wide application of iron is unimaginable. Weapon production is the sphere of influence of the court, so don't think about it, but in addition, the benefits you can obtain cannot be underestimated, which is enough to make you two brothers have no worries about food and clothing. Since this is the case, it is better to cooperate than to fight."

The Chen brothers' eyes lit up and they said in unison: "Half? How to get together?"

"Partnership combination. You can work together, agree on the investment ratio, and then share the profit according to the proportion. Brothers, settle the accounts clearly, and no one takes advantage of anyone else, and then take advantage of others together."

"Okay!" Chen Xu couldn't help but scream, applauding.

"I think it's possible, too." Chen Xi looked at Chen Xu. "Brother, let's discuss it?"

"Okay!" Chen Xu nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Junhou Liang. To express his gratitude, this technique of hard work."

"I don't plan to sell it." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "I want to invest in the shares."

Chen Xu's eyes rolled and immediately understood Liang Xiao's meaning. He couldn't ask for anything. Liang Xiao would rather not have a thousand gold coins than do it with them. This shows that Liang Xiao's technique of inducing toughness is not a false statement. Although they want to share some of the dividends to Liang Xiao, they can't win over talents like Liang Xiao even if they want to win over them, so how could he refuse?

Chen Xu and Chen Xi exchanged a look, and the two brothers agreed with each other in a rare manner.

Lei hurried into Liu Ling's room and whispered a few words.

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

"It's true." Lei Que's face was very strange, and he couldn't tell what it meant. He was both confusion, worry, and some indescribable envy. "Chen Xu went to the Liang family twice in a row, and he brought a large amount of money every time. Han Yan also brought a box, but he got a piece of silk. Look, this is a piece of silk. It has spread in Chang'an City. It is said that someone who can solve the fixed pattern will be appointed as a doctor of six hundred stones."

Lei was placed on the table with the copied silk. Liu Ling took it and took a look and believed it. No one can get such a question except Liang Xiao.

"Is he so short of money? He's cheating on the emperor."

Lei's cheeks twitched for a moment. "The problem is that the emperor seems to be willing to be cheated by him."

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

"Master Weng, isn't it suitable?" Lei was reminded: "The wedding is coming soon, you should not meet, so as not to be laughed at."

"Just?" Liu Ling snorted, but his eyes were full of tenderness. "Am I still afraid of being laughed at? His betrothal gift was just a few empty words, but now he is selling knowledge under the guise of raising betrothal gifts. Not only is he shameless, but even my face was thrown away. When others saw him, they thought that Huainan had asked him for a few thousand gold. Go and ask him to come, I want to ask clearly."

Lei was laughed bitterly and turned around.

An hour later, Liang Xiao hurried into the Huainan residence. Although he had not yet married, his identity as the son-in-law of the Huainan king was confirmed. The heart of the man-in-law had long been locked on him. The guards and maids of the Huainan residence did not dare to neglect them. Liang Xiao, like his family, rushed straight into Liu Ling's room.

"Master, do you miss me?"

"I miss you." Liu Ling came up and shook the silk in his hand. "What are you doing, why are you showing off?"

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

"Everyone in Chang'an knows it, but you don't know it." Liu Ling said angrily: "Do you know that this is the test question for the emperor to test the talents of the world? Who can solve the final form and be appointed as the doctor of the six hundred stones?"

"Only six hundred stones?" Liang Xiao was very disappointed. "The emperor is still not generous enough."

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

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, glanced at Liu Ling sideways, raised his chin. "Can you untire it?"

Liu Ling was speechless and his face turned slightly red. During the period of waiting for Liang Xiao, she had tried it, at least she had not seen any clues yet.

"The problem you can't solve is only worth 600 stones? In my opinion, two thousand stones are more than enough. Don't forget that the emperor can pay a thousand gold for this, which is enough to pay a salary of two thousand stones for a hundred years."

"I was about to ask you, what are you trying to do? I asked the emperor for gifts and the Chen brothers, can I still give me some face? After hearing this, others thought I would ask you for a big betrothal gift."

"How can I call you?" Liang Xiao was very strange. "Master, it's fine if others don't understand, why do you say that? Didn't I tell you before? Although I am no longer on the battlefield, the outcome of this contest is more important than the outcome of one or two wars. He is the east wind, and I am the west wind. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west overwhelms the east wind. How can you be careless?"

Liu Ling was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but cover his mouth. "You really want to do this?"

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Wouldn't you waste your and my talents if you don't do this? Do you really think I have to spend such a big deal for those few thousand gold flies?"
