He knew that the most important thing was to stabilize these people's emotions and let them focus on the work at hand.

The craftsmen obeyed the order in unison.

They looked up with gratitude, their eyes filled with respect and trust at the young emperor.

After thanking him in unison, they returned to their original positions and continued to concentrate on their work.

Only after returning to the imperial study did Xiao Yanheng's heartbeat gradually calm down.

Finally leaving the suffocating atmosphere at the scene, he felt a little stuffy in his chest. It was not until he sat down at the desk and took a deep breath that he felt completely relaxed.

He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before he ordered: "Call Prince Han over."

Although my throat was dry and thirsty, time was more urgent at this moment.

So, he called out the name of the eunuch serving beside him without hesitation and ordered him to inform Xiao Lishi immediately.

Soon, Xiao Lishi, who was busy in the Ministry of Revenue, was called in and had no idea what was going on.

Just when Xiao Lishi was busy with government affairs, he suddenly received a call from the palace and hurried over.

Although he was full of doubts, he did not show them and instead maintained the necessary calmness and politeness.

"My dear brother, please see your royal brother."

As soon as he entered the imperial study, he knelt down and saluted, his voice clear, loud and respectful.

"No need to be polite, just come and take a look at these documents."

Xiao Yanheng motioned him to stand up, and casually pushed the drawings spread out on the table towards him, his tone filled with undisguised eagerness.

Xiao Lishi quickly noticed the excitement on Xiao Yanheng's face. He hurriedly took the document and wanted to know what had happened.

Seeing his brother's unusual expression, coupled with the document that seemed to be of extraordinary significance, even he, who had always been smart and quick-witted, felt his heart sink and quickly picked up the document to read it carefully.

As soon as he opened it, he was stunned.

As the content was revealed, Xiao Lishi, who was usually calm and composed, showed an expression of disbelief in his eyes, as if he had seen some kind of miracle, and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Even Xiao Lishi, who was usually talkative, couldn't utter a complete sentence.

His mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he found that he was at a loss for words and could only use a shocked expression to convey his deepest emotions.

"Brother Huang, is this true?"

After finally controlling his emotions, he finally asked, his voice still trembling with disbelief.

Xiao Yanheng nodded, "The real thing is already there. Even if it's not 100% accurate, it's probably around 70% or 80% accurate."

Facing his brother's question, Xiao Yanheng nodded affirmatively and explained patiently.

Xiao Lishi was very happy. "This is simply a treasure. In this way, even if the wealthy families in Jiangnan master all the cloth-making techniques, we can still increase the output of cloth."

After hearing these words, my tense mood suddenly relaxed and a happy smile appeared on the corner of my mouth involuntarily.

Indeed, as it is said, the importance of this technology is self-evident.

"This can't just be promoted in Jiangnan. You have to see if other places are suitable."

Xiao Yanheng added another sentence.

Although he has basically made up his mind about this matter, he still hopes to get more opinions before making a final decision.

Xiao Lishi wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Xiao Lishi, who had many ideas in his mind and was ready to express them, chose to remain silent at the last moment. After all, at this critical juncture, any decision must be carefully considered.

"It's hard for me to decide. After all, both mulberry and silk are produced in suitable areas."

Xiao Lishi frowned, feeling hesitant.

The production conditions in both places are extremely favorable, making it difficult for him to make a choice.

"Are you worried that they will collude with the Jiangnan clans?"

Xiao Yanheng asked softly, his tone gentle but with a hint of sharpness.

He understood that this was not just a simple site selection issue, but that there might be a more complex game of interests behind it.

After hearing this, Xiao Lishi nodded vigorously, as if he agreed but also felt helpless.

Indeed, this was his biggest concern, fearing that one wrong step would lead to a complete loss.

Xiao Yanheng was not surprised at this. He said, "Businessmen are all profit-driven. We can disperse their power."

His eyes were firm and deep, as if he had already seen through the nature of businessmen who would do anything for profit.

Xiao Lishi immediately understood what he meant, but the wrinkles between his brows still did not disappear, and he was still a little worried.

"But if I just take out this kind of divine weapon, will those old men become desperate?"

He couldn't help but express his concerns, fearing that such an action would cause even greater waves.

Xiao Yanheng sneered, his voice full of disdain, a kind of arrogance emanating from his bones.

"Then let them show what they are capable of!"

There was a sense of challenge in his words, as if he had already foreseen the other party's next move.

After receiving such a response, Xiao Lishi took over Xiao Yanheng's order and turned around to leave.

He knew that the most important thing to do at this moment was to do what his elder brother said.

However, Xiao Yanheng did not block the news, but deliberately let the matter spread widely. Therefore, in less than half a day, the news about the God-given artifact spread throughout the entire Shangjing City like wings.

Certain figures in the dark began to feel uneasy, and an invisible pressure filled the air, making the already tense situation even more complicated.

The atmosphere in a remote residence was extremely depressing.

A thin middle-aged man paced back and forth anxiously in the middle of the room, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He was obviously extremely troubled by the current situation.

When he heard the familiar sound of a carriage outside, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurried out, fearing that he would miss any important information.

"Master Hu, you are finally here!"

There was both anticipation and a hint of urgency in his tone.

The visitor nodded slightly, "Master Wei, I came here as soon as I heard the news. How is it now?"

When the two met, they exchanged a few simple greetings, but each other's eyes revealed their concern and vigilance about the situation.

The two of them walked into the house while exchanging pleasantries, constantly looking back, vigilantly watching for anyone following them.

This place is their secret place for private meetings. Usually, few people visit it, so it naturally becomes one of the best choices for passing on secrets.

After sitting down, Lord Hu immediately got straight to the point and said, "Today's news is shocking. There is such a magical instrument in the world."

There was a mixture of shock and disbelief in his tone.

"No matter how much you say, it's useless. The key is how you deal with this matter."

Lord Wei immediately responded, "You know, this is a gift from the immortal realm. What if it's accidentally broken? What if it causes displeasure among the immortals?"

Faced with the sudden change, the two fell into deep thought.
