Chapter 36 Contribution

(Thanks to the great hero for carrying the pot, Yang Shuo Funing, Book Friends 201 and others for their rewards, thank you.)

Xue Rengui sat on Hu's bed holding a volume of military books, a military book written by the founding god of war Li Jing. This military book was probably given to Xue Rengui by Emperor Taizong.

However, holding this military book that he often read, he was a little absent-minded.

In the 19th year of Zhenguan, Xue Rengui joined the army to conquer Liao. He made his mark in Liaodong. After returning from Liaodong, he has been guarding Xuanwu Gate and becoming the emperor's trusted general. Then eight years later, he was still the general of Xuanwu Gate.

Although the new emperor trusted him like him, Xue Rengui also needed to put in enough achievements to prove his abilities.

He also knew that the emperor was preparing to establish a Yulin Army that was separated from the twelve guards. Originally, the emperor intended him to be the general of the Yulin Army, but he did not have enough achievements to convince the public. On the battlefield in Liaodong, he proved his courage, but he still lacked enough qualifications to hold such an important position.

"Father!"

Xue Jin's voice interrupted his thoughts, and Xue Rengui raised his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"Father, that's how it is." Xue Wu said about Li Xiao coming to see him.

"Secret recipe for frosting sugar?"

"Yes, my father, the child has seen the frosting sugar he brought, which is indeed whiter than the frosting sugar made by the court. He calls it white sugar, like snow-white sand particles, both white and dry and extremely sweet. The color, appearance and quality are far better than the frosting sugar on the market."

"You said he wanted to give this secret recipe to our family for free? Something is interesting. This is a talented person in his early twenties?" Even if Xue Rengui was a general, he could understand the value of such a prescription at once. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was worth a thousand gold. A poor boy who was carrying a huge debt on his body actually had the courage to give such a secret recipe for free, which was amazing.

"It's not a waste of money. I'm thanking me for helping him deal with the Zhang family before. In addition, what I mean by him is also hopeful to take the big ship of our Xue family."

Xue Rengui smiled.

It’s easy to enjoy the cool breeze with a big tree on your back. Everyone knows this principle, but the key is how many people are willing to give such valuable things out.

"You tell me about this Li Xiao in detail."

Xue Wu then said something again, "If my father wants to, it's better to meet him in person."

"Okay, you bring him here." Xue Rengui would not see ordinary people. He was a general of the imperial guards, so how could he see so many people?

But Li Xiao feels different.

Li Xiao stood outside the door, his heart was jumping hard.

It is still very exciting to see a generation of war god Xue Rengui. Even though Xue Rengui is not very good at this time, Li Xiao knows this future glory after all.

"Brother Li, my father is waiting for you inside, please come in."

Li Xiao smiled at Xue Wu and took a deep breath, "Thank you!"

The opportunity to meet Xue Rengui is thanks to Xue Wu. Where can ordinary people meet this person?

After tidying up the lower collar, Li Xiao raised his legs and stepped in.

Before entering the door, Li Xiao thought Xue Rengui would be a strong man of all sizes, and imagined that he was wearing armor and wiping swords at home.

As soon as I entered the door, I found a very handsome man.

He looked like that, he was only about forty years old and was indeed very tall, but he was definitely not the kind of thick martial artist. On the contrary, he looked very handsome and handsome, with a national face, two sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a dark hair.

Both eyes are bright.

He was wearing a white robe, sitting on the Hu bed, holding a book in his hand.

Unlike a military general, she looks like a gentle civil servant.

"Li Xiao from Xialanxi to meet General Xue."

Li Xiao bowed, although he was excited, but he was not humble or arrogant, so he bowed without accepting his head.

Xue Rengui turned around, put down the book in his hand, and looked at Li Xiao up and down. He was a little curious about Li Xiao after his son's introduction. After all, he had tried the white sugar brought by Li Xiao just now, which was indeed even whiter and purer than the frosting candy given to him by the emperor.

It is not easy for a person who can give up a secret recipe worth a thousand gold, especially this person is just a poor boy.

"Sit!" Xue Rengui said.

His voice was loud and his attitude was quite polite.

Li Xiao sat aside, not knowing what to say to this person for a moment.

"Jusu Luo just told me something about you, and also said that you want to give me the secret recipe of white sugar to the Xue family, but this matter cannot be done."

Li Xiao was in an accident.

Xue Rengui actually rejected such a gift.

"If my Xue family accepts your gift, wouldn't it be bullying? My Xue family is not like this. You can keep the secret recipe yourself."

Li Xiao stood up and said, "Mr. Xue, this secret recipe actually does not play any role for me, and it may even be a disaster. So Li Xiao wants to give it to Mr. Xue, which can be regarded as repaying Xue Wulang's help to the Li family before."

"Needless to say, I can't accept this secret recipe."

"Then I'll sell it to the Xue family." Li Xiao said.

Xue Rengui smiled.

"Let me do this, I know a little about your family. What you said is the truth. Keeping this secret recipe in your hand is indeed not necessarily a good thing for you. But I still said that I won't accept your secret recipe, and it's wrong to do that. I have a way now, I don't know if you want to listen."

"Please tell me clearly."

Xue Rengui saw every move after Li Xiao came in. This young man was neither humble nor arrogant when he saw him, and he was very sensible in his work. It was extremely rare, which made him very amazed.

"Your secret recipe is very precious, and I am willing to present it to Your Majesty for you. The Royal family already has the frosting and sugar manufacturing industry. If you present this recipe to Your Majesty, it will greatly improve the royal sugar manufacturing industry. I believe that Your Majesty will not treat you badly."

Li Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The royal family controls the sugar production industry, and it is naturally the most useful thing to offer Li Xiao's sugar decolorization technology to the royal family. However, Li Xiao was just a civilian in the past. He had no way to offer it, so he took it out rashly. In the end, he didn't know who was in the hands of the things, and who took them to rob the merits. Where would he have his share.

But now it would be different if Xue Rengui was willing to help.

Xue Rengui gave him a contribution, who dared to take advantage of his achievements?

"Mr. Xue, I will give you the secret recipe. As for whether you keep or offer it, this is Mr. Xue's own business."

"Hahaha, your kid is a bit interesting. Don't be strolling around me. I, Xue Rengui, will not be greedy for you. I will offer it for you. The things are yours. I will only benefit from it at most."

"Why didn't Mr. Xue keep it himself? This thing is well used and valuable." Li Xiao said.

"Of course I know, but this good thing is delicious and difficult to digest. If Xue Rengui stays, I still don't know how many people will stare at me and jealous of me. I might as well give it to you. Anyway, I'm not short of money."

The main part of the sugar industry is royal, and the remaining participants are those rich and nobles. Xue Rengui still won’t go to the muddy waters.
