The Emperor nodded, stood up from the dragon chair, and then paced back and forth in the Qinzheng Hall with his hands behind his back.

Zhuang Bieli and Zhuang Rong also hurriedly got up and stood in front of their seats, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

After a while, the old eunuch finished distributing the document and returned to the palace of diligence.

The Emperor finally spoke in a deep voice, "From the mouths of the two of you, I haven't heard any negative comments about Na Ye Ning so far. Including the sixth child, he is also highly praised. So I'm a little worried, is he really so good, or is it himself...... Too good at camouflage?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......?"

The old eunuch bowed down and answered.

"If he's really as good as you say, it's a blessing for the Empire. But if he is so good at disguise that he even hides your eyes, he will definitely have a big plan. ”

The Emperor said slowly as he paced in the Qinzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, from the judgment of the minion's personal judgment, this Ye Ning should not be a disguise. However, the eyes of the slave are definitely far less than that of His Majesty, so it is better to wait until the end of the college entrance examination. This Ye Ning is bound to take the Sixth Grade exam in the future, so how about creating an opportunity for Your Majesty to take a look for yourself?"

The old eunuch proposed.

"What does Dean Zhuang think?"

The emperor did not nod directly, but asked with Zhuang again.

"Ye Ning has already promised that after the college entrance examination, he will directly apply for our entrance examination from the Holy Academy, so if His Majesty wants to see him with his own eyes at that time, it will be very convenient. Just find some reasons to take a look at him without a trace. After all...... Your Majesty used to go to the Holy Academy often. ”

Zhuang Beili didn't say it directly, but the meaning in his words was obviously in favor of the old eunuch's idea.

The emperor nodded, but still did not give a clear answer, but instead asked, "You said that Ye Ning is far more valuable than we imagined...... It shouldn't just be that he learned the basic refining in just five days, right?

"Yes!"

Zhuang Bieli nodded vigorously, and a trace of excitement appeared on the old man's face, and in the surprised eyes of the old eunuch, he arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Oh, where does the joy come from?"

The emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"The project I was responsible for had been stuck at a critical juncture and could not be continued, and there were many difficulties in it that were always difficult to be effectively resolved. Because of this, the whole project has been delayed again and again, and the empire has invested a huge amount of money, but it has not seen results, which makes me very anxious. ”

"In particular...... For that critical juncture, I don't have much confidence that I can solve it. Because it has exceeded the limits that can be involved in the current theory of refining. So this makes me even more anxious, if I keep delaying, not only will the huge investment in the early stage of the empire be directly wasted, but it will also be a huge blow to my personal confidence in the refining field. ”

Zhuang Bieli did not directly say where the happy event came from, but began to state the difficulties encountered before.

The emperor understood the meaning of Zhuang Farewell, and there was suddenly a little more joy in his original indifferent and majestic eyes.

Nodding his head, he said, "I know that the relevant research progress of the research institute will be presented on my bookcase every month. I also know that it is really difficult to ask the dean to study that thing now. Because the current spirit guide technology has not yet reached that height. ”

"But I also know that many things can only be seen little by little if we do and promote them. If you don't do it, you always look ahead and look ahead, then there is never hope, so I don't care how much money I invest. ”

Zhuang Beili said sincerely: "Yes! Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, does not look at temporary gains and losses, and has a broad mind, which is admirable. If it is developed according to the normal situation, it will probably take at least ten years, and the project arranged by Your Majesty will be able to bear fruit. But this time...... Thanks to Ye Ning's help, I already have an idea to solve that difficulty!"

"Ye Ning's help, that project involves the most difficult field of refining, Ye Ning even understands that kind of difficult field?!"

The emperor's eyes lit up, and although he was quite excited about what Zhuang Bieli said, it seemed that because this breakthrough came from Ye Ning, his emotions were not too excited.

"No, although Ye Ning has mastered a completely new theory and structure, as far as I know, what he is currently proficient in is still only the field of basic refining, not to mention the most difficult field, even if it is apprenticeship alchemy, he doesn't understand it at all. ”

Zhuang Bieli shook his head and continued with a smile: "But this does not prevent many of his ideas from bringing me new inspiration, especially some of his theories and new understanding of structure, even if it is only the foundation of the foundation, it can change my view of the entire alchemy from the fundamental fulcrum!"

"Oh...... That's ......."

The emperor's emotions reined back, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "So you mean that Ye Ning's true value lies in the fact that he can imperceptibly change the alchemy science?"

"That's right, Your Majesty! Think about it, if the current alchemy is completely banned, then it will naturally encounter great resistance. All the sects that rely on the existing alchemy to maintain and make profits will become opponents, and it will be a scene where the entire empire is an enemy as far as the eye can see!

Zhuang Bieli looked a little excited, and his speed of speech was much faster than the normal speed of speech, and then said: "First change from the basic things, first promote some structural optimizations, just say that it is the latest achievement of the research institute, and then on this basis, continue to deepen, and use the way of boiling frogs in warm water, so that those sects have to accept it!"

"And this is the greatest wealth that Ye Ning can bring us! It is also the way that the empire can accept and bring the least counterattack and turmoil! Although it will take more time, I personally think that this time is worth it!"

Listening to what Zhuang Bieli said, the emperor didn't have much of an excited expression, but a solemn look on his face.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "But in this way, it means that all the sources will be pressed on Ye Ning alone. Dean Zhuang, you should be aware of how much risk such an approach will bring. From an imperial point of view, this kind of decision that depends entirely on one person is very insecure. So...... Everything will wait for Ye Ning to finish the college entrance examination and come to the imperial capital, and I will talk about it after I take a look at him in person. ”

"Whether it is in the interests of the empire itself or for the purpose of protecting him, this matter must be done with sufficient caution. You must have heard of that incident back then, I lost my loved ones, and the reform of the Empire's alchemy science was delayed for decades, and this situation must never happen again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
