Time still flies, spring goes to autumn, autumn goes to the winter solstice, it is another year of winter, Xiao Yao has been in this era for more than two years, and he is already thirteen years old!

In the past year, after getting the effectiveness of Zhou Chao and Gao Yuan, Xiao Yao's ironwork has developed greatly!

First of all, the Xiao family's money bag glass treasures, although it is still a competition conference held once a month, but because of Xiao Yao's continuous improvement of the glass production process, the quality of the glaze fired now has been greatly improved, transparency, smoothness, and wear resistance are better than before, and then after the modeling design of Liu Shui, who has become the master of the glaze, every month has launched a strange shape, beautiful appearance of the glazed treasures, so that the rich people from all over the world have spent a lot of money!

With Zhou Chao's assistance, many steelmaking processes in Xiao Yao's mind have been realized, and the quality of the iron produced by the iron workshop has been greatly improved.

As a result, the Xiao family iron workshop used two products, glazed treasures and ironware, to bring huge wealth to the Xiao family, but also attracted a lot of covetousness, among which the most eyeing the Xiao family was the Yuwen household of the Zhou State!

When Gonggong Liu, who was beaten by Xiao Yao, returned to Zhou, he immediately dedicated the glass treasure named Cai Shengcai to Yuwenhu, so as to gain Yuwenhu's trust and reuse!

Although as a powerful minister of the government and the opposition, Yuwenhu is a little mismatched with this wealth that represents the meaning of wealth, but after all, it is also a glass treasure, and the lifelike shape also makes Yuwenhu suddenly love it!

And Gonggong Liu is indeed a person, seeing that Yuwenhu likes this glass treasure so much, he kept adding oil and vinegar on the side, and said bad words to the Xiao family: "Lord, this Xiao family is so fortunate to get the precious glass formula, it is really eyeless!" Moreover, the Xiao family only makes one glass treasure a month, and they also want the nobles and rich people from all countries to go to Jiangling to participate in their treasure competition! The scene of bidding with each other and a thousand daughters is really unforgettable! If this glazed treasure competition is held in Chang'an City in our Great Zhou, I believe that scene is at least a hundred times more lively than Jiangling! ”

"At that time, there were really a lot of nobles and rich people who participated in this treasure competition?" Yuwenhu asked with a cloudy face.

"Yes! There are not only local nobles and rich tycoons, but also well-known wealthy businessmen in our Zhou State, as well as those from Qi State, and even Chen Guo, the feud of their Liang State, also came to many people, all of them in order to bid for these glass treasures, they have shouted high prices, thousands of taels and thousands of bids, as if money is not money! Liu Gonggong remembered that when those rich people shouted out the price of three thousand taels in order to bid for the marquis who was immediately sealed, and he took out all his belongings for only five hundred taels, he couldn't help but be a little jealous.

"Since the glazed treasures are so valuable, why is the Xiao family so generous and gives you such a beautiful treasure? It seems that your beating is quite worthy! Ha ha! Yu Wenzhi teased Liu Gonggong and smiled.

"That's because I am the lord's subordinate, their Xiao family is worried about offending the lord, and they want to spend money to prevent disasters, so they will give me such a precious glass treasure, of course I want to borrow flowers to worship the Buddha, accept this glass treasure, and take it back to the lord!" Father-in-law Liu, who was scarred, said embarrassedly, and even now he still feels a little pain on his face!

"A glass treasure can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, even if they sell one a month, in a year, they can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver! With so much money, how many troops can they raise! Yuwenhu, who is in a high position, sees the problem differently, and suddenly thinks of the key place!

Gonggong Liu, who was prompted by Yuwenhu, also reacted, and immediately said: "The lord is wise! It has been a while since the Xiao Family's Iron Workshop reproduced the glazed treasures, and I believe they have made a lot of money during this time! And their iron workshop is not only producing glass treasures, but also producing all kinds of weapons! If they use the money they earn back to recruit a large army, and then equip them with those high-quality weapons produced by their Xiao family's iron workshop, then the national strength of the Liang State will definitely increase greatly, and it will definitely be unfavorable to our Great Zhou at that time! And I see that these people surnamed Xiao are not some fuel-efficient lamps, and they don't want to reappear in their hearts all the time to reappear the status of the former hegemon in the south of the Liang State! So if you let them develop, there will be endless troubles"! Gonggong Liu was alarmist, because he thought of the humiliation of being slapped in the face by Xiao Yao that day, and he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart!

"We definitely won't let them develop, so I keep squeezing the Liang Kingdom, asking them to pay tribute to our Great Zhou every year! Their role is only to help us contain the Chen State in the south, so that we can concentrate on dealing with the Qi State, they want to regain the glory of the past with a Xiao Family Iron Workshop, dreaming! Yuwenhu sneered.

"What does Father mean?" Yu Wenzhi asked puzzled.

"Isn't Gonggong Liu, if the glazed treasures competition conference is held in our Chang'an City, it will definitely attract the attention of the world and be even more lively! Zhi'er, it seems that you have to find a time to go south to Gangneung! When the time comes, I will ask the emperor to issue a holy decree, so that you can discuss important matters with Emperor Liang on my behalf, and by the way, I will take the opportunity to find out the details of the Xiao family, and then get the recipe for making glass treasures in their hands! Without the golden mountain of glass treasures, how can they make money and develop! Yuwenhu instructed his son Yuwenzhi.

"Yes, Father! I heard that the Xiao family reproduced the production method of glass treasures before, and I had already mobilized a group of well-read readers, let them search for ancient books, and finally found some eyebrows in an ancient book called Bao Puzi! At that time, I will also take them to Gangneung, and I will definitely get the method of making glass treasures from the Xiao family! Yu Wenzhi said with a look of ambition.

。。。。。。

The efficiency of the ancient people was indeed not very good, and Gonggong Liu had returned to the Zhou Kingdom for almost a year, and Yuwen Zhicai led a large group of people to Jiangling in a mighty south.

"Sister, when we get to Jiangling, I will ask the Xiao family to make a bottle of beautiful glass treasures for you and give it to you as a meeting gift!" Yu Wenzhi said to a girl wearing a gorgeous suit.

"Hmph, I don't want it, those glass treasures can't be eaten, and they can't be played, they can only be put there to see, what's the use of coming!" The girl said coldly, and there seemed to be a lot of disdain in her eyes for these glass treasures that made her subordinates crazy.

"Haha! I forgot that my sister only likes to dance with knives and swords, and she doesn't like these gold and silver treasures at all! Sister, do you know that the weapons created by the Xiao family's iron workshop are also very powerful, then I will ask them to build a sword for you that sharpens iron like clay! Yuwen Zhihao said angrily, as if the Xiao family's iron workshop was his!

"Really? The weapons created by the Xiao family's iron workshop are all sought-after goods in Zhou Guo, big brother, your words must count, and when the time comes, you must let them create a peerless sword for me! The girl looked expectant.

"When did Big Brother lie to you? When the time comes, I'll let their best blacksmith craft a sword for you! And my father also saw that you have been depressed recently, and he was afraid that you would stay at home and get sick, so he specially asked you to come to Gangneung with me, so the eldest brother will definitely make you happy! Yu Wenzhi smiled, but his heart was full of sneers at this so-called sister.

This girl is Yuwenmin, only fourteen years old this year, since her father Yuwenyu was poisoned by Yuwenhu, she was adopted by Yuwenhu in the Jin State Mansion and became Yuwenzhi's sister. And Yuwenhu loves Yuwenmin very much, not biological is better than biological, which makes Yuwenzhi, the biological children of Yuwenhu, very jealous, but they dare not show it because of Yuwenhu's majesty!

In the past ten years, under the careful care of Yuwenhu, Yuwenmin has been very happy and happy, although many people are still talking about her being a disaster star who killed her parents, but because Yuwenhu is a one-handed existence in Zhou Kingdom, no one dares to say her words in front of Yuwenmin!

But she couldn't be happy, because her uncle Yuwenyong secretly found her, and told her that the real cause of her father Yuwenyu was that he was poisoned by Yuwenhu, so that she was wary of Yuwenhu being unfavorable to her, and it was best to assist him to eradicate Yuwenhu together and avenge her father!

When he heard that Yu Wenhu, who had been taking care of himself, was actually the murderer of his father, Yu Wenmin was stunned! A person who takes care of himself as if he was his own father, but he is his father's killer, this reality makes Yu Wenmin difficult to accept, so the whole person becomes upset and depressed! And Yu Wenhu, who has always loved her, thought that she was being chewed by those people who chewed her tongue behind her back, and the nonsense made her angry, plus she usually likes to dance knives and guns, and she is free, just Yu Wenzhi is going to envoy Liang Guo, so let her follow her to Liang Guo, and go to travel to relax!

Now Yu Wenzhi, who was proud, saw that this sister was still melancholy, in order to explain to his father, he also found some topics that Yu Wenmin liked, coaxed her a few words, and then called Liu Gonggong to his side and discussed it softly.

"Gonggong Liu, when you went to Liang Guo before, did you hear that in their Xiao family's iron workshop, who was in charge of the recipe for making glass treasures? Such an important formula should be kept by some core people of the Xiao family, but the iron workshop should be a noisy and dirty place, and Xiao Feng, the head of the Xiao family, should not personally supervise those craftsmen to prevent the leakage of this formula! Yu Wenzhi analyzed.

"Childe's analysis is very correct, when I went to Zhou Kingdom before, I once inquired that the Xiao family's iron workshop was copied and supervised by Xiao Feng's son Xiao Shan! So the recipe for this glass treasure should be in the hands of this Xiao Shan? But this Xiao Shan is the son of Xiao Feng! "Liu Gong is fair.

"The son of a concubine? Such an important thing, Xiao Feng was actually handed over to a son of a concubine to be in charge? Isn't this Xiao Feng having many sons? Or is there something special about this Xiaoshan? Yu Wenzhi asked in surprise, in his thoughts, the distinction between the concubines and the concubines was still very serious.

"The subordinates didn't hear anything outstanding about this Xiao Shan, but Xiao Feng's eldest son Xiao Fu was already an official in the Liang Imperial Court, so the business was handed over to this concubine's son! And this Xiao Shan also has a younger brother, a child named Xiao, who is only thirteen years old, but he is a sharp-toothed and ruthless person! Father-in-law Liu thought of the humiliation of the curtain sun, and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

"Xiao? Is that the kid who humiliated and beat you in front of the rich people of all countries that day? Yu Wenzhi asked.

"It's this yellow hair! On that day, he not only beat his subordinates, but also spoke wildly, and after his subordinates reported the prestige of the Duke of Jin, he was humiliated by him, and he didn't take our Da Zhou in his eyes at all! "Father-in-law Liu added oil and vinegar to the authentic.

"Humph! Father-in-law Liu, don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice this time! Take a good look at this Xiao family for a while! Do their surnamed Xiao still think that their Liang State is still the southern overlord of the year? They are now nothing more than a lackey of our Great Zhou! Back then, my father had already washed Jiangling in blood once before he supported Xiao Gui's father to become the emperor of the Liang Kingdom, but according to the current development of the Xiao family is too fast, even the Liang Emperor Xiao Gui is afraid of them, haha, this time I must humiliate the Xiao family, and even the Liang Emperor will stand on my side at that time, I think their Xiao family will dare to be arrogant! Yu Wenzhi laughed smugly.
