The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 231 Don't be soft

Liang Xin began to explain the Xuanjia Army.

"Why do the Xuanjia Army dare to attack a hundred thousand people when they can only use 3000 people? You can think about why the Iron Kites are called the Undead Army."

Just as he was talking, someone asked: "Aren't all the Iron Kites dead?"

Liang Xin laughed: "Because we are richer, and Xixia people are too poor."

After saying that, Liang Xin turned around and saluted Xiao Baoxian: "Prime Minister, can you order the general to bring up a pair of iron armor?"

Xiao Baoxian clapped his hands gently, and someone immediately went to do it.

Liang Xin then stretched out her hand and pointed at the guards outside the palace: "Everyone, choose anyone you want."

"Just him."

A very ordinary Song guard.

The armor had already been carried up. The guard opened the box, took out a steel bow, stood outside the hall and shot an arrow in, directly piercing the armor on the shelf.

Then, the guard came in with a knife, walked two steps in front of the armor, switched one hand to both hands, and slashed with the knife, and the armor was split open.

"Treasure knife?"

Liang Xin replied: "Just choose another one."

The Khitan man stopped talking.

Although what they brought up was an ordinary set of iron armor, which was not as good as the refined iron kite armor, if it was split open by a knife, how many knives could the iron kite's armor be able to withstand?
In fact, the way of cultivating a teacher is to strike with an iron kite.

It suppressed the opponent's mobility and the impact of the cavalry, and then used heavy armored infantry to go up and smash it down.

Why did Liang Xin conceal this fact and only show the knife?

Because Liang Xin is telling stories.

There is a name for the knives worn by these guards, called the Sutie Knife Technique.

Right now, Shen Chong has better steel and better iron.

Iron is pig iron continuously poured into wrought iron, coupled with repeated hammering, it turns into steel.

Next, fold repeatedly.

Finally, a new process, mezzanine, was added.

The knife is not one piece, but has three layers.

After doing all this, use the carburizing process to process the blade.

It can be said that the knife produced by this process is more expensive but of better quality.

The blown Damascus knife, with this new knife shape, new steel, combined with ancient craftsmanship and new craftsmanship, is definitely the best knife in the world today.

In addition to expensive, no disadvantages.

Liang Xin started to brag: "If this knife is put on the market, I dare to ask for it for a thousand dollars, because it is worth it. It doesn't need to be too much, and it is equipped with 8000 people. Who can withstand this chop?"

After finishing speaking, Liang Xin smiled: "Money, you can't do anything without money. I have a small business recently, I believe you will like it."

Change picture.

Liang Xin started to talk.

"I found a large area that has a high yield of sweet sugarcane. It is estimated that each mu can produce twenty shi per year, which can produce two shi of raw sugar. I don't know what the price of four shi of sugar is in Shangjing."

"I sell the output. I sell the proceeds for the next three years and only charge one and a half stones. Each buyer can get four stones of sugar per year, but it can only be placed at the dock and the transportation to Beijing is borne by himself. .”

"Buy now and you only pay for 130 kilograms of sugar, which is [-] kilograms less. Big discount, big discount."

Immediately, someone shouted: "I will buy a thousand acres for five years."

Xiao Yuanfeng.

He has seen what it means to be rich.

Liang Mansion, that’s what we call real wealth.

Liang Xin is definitely the number one official in Bianjing City, and she is very good at making money.And he is never greedy, he just uses various methods to make more money for himself.

He calculated that for the money invested now, the annual net profit per mu would be seventy pounds of sugar.

One thousand acres, the annual income is [-] kilograms of sugar.

In Bianjing City, the price of a pound of sugar is fourteen times that of a pound of rice.In Shangjing of Khitan, the price of a pound of sugar is forty times that of rice.

And sugar is not sold by the pound.

Yes press two.

One tael of sugar, even if you don't use top-grade sugar, the cheapest one costs [-] yuan.Liang Xin asked: "Are you asking for sugar or money? To ask for sugar is to transport the sugar, and to ask for money is to sell the sugar and convert it into money before sending it."

"Of course I want sugar." Xiao Yuanfeng believed that sugar is more valuable than money.

"Then..." Liang Xin did a mental calculation: "Every year, [-] shidan of sugar is delivered to one thousand acres."

Twenty thousand dan.

Xiao Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that what he was paying now was money, and all he got back was sugar. Instead of a net profit of 20 kilograms of sugar, he could get [-] kilograms of sugar, which was an even greater profit.

"I, I want to invest five thousand acres. However, I don't have that much gold, money, but I have my horses, my sheep, and I still have skins."

"Of course, no problem at all. Let's arrange for a steward to discuss how to convert horses, sheep, and skins."

At this time, many Khitan nobles came to invest. Even Xiao Baoxian couldn't help it and invested three thousand acres.

Cao Song, who was sitting in his seat, was calculating in his mind.

At present, how many acres of sugar cane are grown in Song Dynasty?

Let them buy like this. It seems that all the sugar cane in Lingnan has been turned into sugar for them. It is not enough, and the sugar cane in Fujian must be added.

The banquet is still on here.

Liang Xin asked Xiao Baoxian: "Prime Minister, I want to borrow a thousand troops, and I will give them ten acres of sugar cane fields for each of them for three years."

Xiao Bao first asked: "What is the use of borrowing troops?"

"kill."

"Kill who?"

Liang Xin smiled: "Your Majesty, please give me the list."

Xiao Baoxian laughed loudly: "Here comes someone."

When the banquet reached the stage of watching the dance, the Khitan went to the capital, but blood began to flow.

Kill directly.

Liang Xin knew very well why Yelu Yanxi invited her here.

This time, unlike when he was in Bianjing, Liang Xin also followed a process, first asking for guilt, then interrogating, then questioning, and then closing the door.

Kill directly.

Just break open the door and go in to chop.

Killing one family after another.

There was no shortage of people who had anything to do with Xiao Guanyin's death back then.

Leading the troops was Xiao Fengxian.

He is the elder brother and brother-in-law of Yelu Yanxi.

The first family that Xiao Feng killed was the family that was most likely to compete with his family for power and status. Yelu Yixin's half-brother, the Yelu Asi family.

Next are the descendants and party members of Yelu Yixin.

That's not the end.

On the third day of the battle, Xiao Fengxian sent many treasures to Liang Xin as a token of his gratitude to Liang Xin for giving him this opportunity. He had now made a great contribution.

The Khitan Emperor Yelu Yanxi also admired him very much.

Liang Xin, however, said to Xiao Fengxian: "We are good brothers. Do you know why I walked sideways with you in the Song Dynasty?"

"Please advise."

Liang Xin chuckled: "My father is a slave of my official family in the Song Dynasty, but think about it, how many slaves does an emperor have?"

"You must give me some advice." Xiao Fengxian's expression changed.

Liang Xin: "Listen carefully. You must be His Majesty's sword, His Majesty's shield, and even His Majesty's lackey. All bad things are your doing, and all good things are His Majesty's."

"Be direct!" Xiao Feng was anxious.

Liang Xin came close to Xiao Fengxian's ear and whispered a few words.

Xiao Fengxian's eyes lit up instantly.

Take the troops out of the city.

Do big things.

Xiao Fengxian dug Yelu Yixin's grave and hung the body.
