"Miss Liu'er has worked so hard, but you must not be ignorant of the good people's hearts!"
"Uh..." These words immediately rendered Xu Yan speechless.
He hesitated for a long time: "But... I am from Nanzhao after all... How can I..."
"What about the people from Nan Zhao?" Nan Yanxi smiled at the side and took over the conversation: "I heard that Brother Xu's grades at that time were very good."
"But I haven't been able to get an official position after waiting for three years. I'm afraid there's no one at the top and there's no money to support it, right?"
"If you hadn't had the ability to develop firearms, I'd probably still be waiting for a job now."
"Let's talk about Miss Liu'er. She comes from a famous family, but because her father is upright, she is not far away from collaborating with corrupt officials."
"Immediately he was framed and his whole family was executed!"
"The innocent girl Liu'er also became a prostitute and suffered all kinds of humiliation."
"Now, nearly half of the country has been lost, but your Southern Zhao court only knows internal strife."
"Is it true that such a court can only be cherished by a great man like Brother Xu?"
After saying that, Nan Yanxi took two steps forward, reached out and patted Xu Yan on the shoulder: "Brother Xu, look at me, a citizen of Nanhai, again."
"Since I took office, we have all worked together, discussed together, and carried out many reforms."
"The people live and work in peace and contentment, and gradually become rich and powerful."
"Everyone has books to study, a field to farm, and a hospital for those who are sick, and the expenses are paid by the court."
"Brother Xu...don't you want your blind dates and compatriots to live this kind of life?"
"Then again, we speak the same words, we look the same, and we have the same customs. We are originally a family! There is nothing to separate us from each other."
Such a lie directly fooled Xu Yan, who was not very bright in the first place.
Indeed, although Xu Yan's scientific examination results were not among the best, they were still in the middle and upper reaches.
But I have been on the waiting list for more than three years and still haven't been able to be transferred.
Compared to him, the candidates who were two years behind him all had positions, but he was still waiting for the job.
If it weren't for later, out of boredom, he made firearms based on the descriptions of some businessmen from Yuzhou and Nanhai.
And it happened to be discovered by my immediate boss at the time, and I was afraid that he would never be able to issue it.
As for Tang Liuer, this is indeed the case.
That little girl was so high-spirited back then, like a beautiful girl from heaven.
But in just a moment, he fell from the sky to the ground.
Xu Yan wanted to help her, but found that he could do nothing but accompany her.
He once hated the corruption of the Southern Zhao court, but he was a man of few words, so what could he do.
In fact, ancient people like them, especially those living in a small, corrupt, poor and weak country.
There is no concept of home and country at all. At most, he is somewhat obsessed with his hometown.
As for national pride, there is none.
Moreover, Southern Zhao was not actually founded for a long time. It was the territory of Daxia at the earliest, but later, Daxia suffered from domestic turmoil.
The governor at that time declared independence in order to protect the country and the people, but it is only a little over a hundred years old now.
Later, due to the remote location of Southern Zhao, successive emperors regarded Daxia as their superior state. They paid tribute almost every year and became ministers every year.
So Daxia never did anything to him.
The people of Southern Zhao actually did not have much sense of identity with their own Southern Zhao court.
As long as there is land to grow, food to eat, and no oppression, whoever is in power is still the same?
It was precisely because of this that Nan Yanxi chose to take action directly when Daxia itself was in danger.
I hope to destroy Nan Zhao in the shortest possible time.
After a relatively fierce ideological struggle and Nan Yanxi's persuasion.
Xu Yan finally nodded: "Okay...I'll help you."
"The problem is..." Xu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm just a scholar. How can I be of any use in this army?"
"Of course it works, otherwise I wouldn't have gone deep into the tiger's den and deceived you... uh... to rescue you!"
Nan Yanxi laughed and said, "How about this? Brother Xu, after all, you have worked as an errand in Nan Zhao, and you are also a native of Nan Zhao."
"You must be useful in this army. How about becoming a staff general first?"
After thinking for a while, he added: "In addition to doing what I usually do within my power, there is another important thing."
"I will find a suitable place in the land currently occupied by Nan Zhao to establish a firearms manufacturing bureau."
"It's mainly about research and development and production of firearms. Is Brother Xu qualified to be the manager of the Firearms Bureau?"
As soon as he said this, Xu Yan suddenly became interested: "Okay, okay...I do, I do...!"
"I have long wanted to study your firearms from the South China Sea. They are so amazing!"
"I don't know which one of you adults came up with the idea, it's like a god descending from the earth!"
After saying that, he looked at Nan Yanxi suspiciously: "You... can you make the decision?"
When Nan Yanxi heard this, she almost lost her breath and fainted: "Okay...don't you understand the feelings?"
"Let me ask you...do you know who I am now?"
"Uh... you know..." Xu Yan scratched his head and pointed at Li Jingmo: "Aren't you her husband?"
Then he pointed to Li Qi, who was standing majestically in a handsome armor: "His son-in-law, right... didn't you say your name is Zhang Daming?"
Nan Yanxi had a black hair, and she once wondered if this guy was a fool.
I just said, "What will happen after I take power..." This elder brother didn't understand my feelings.
He waved his hands helplessly and said seriously to Xu Yan: "In that case, let me formally introduce myself."
He stretched out his thumb and bumped his head: "Brother, I am the prince of Nanhai Kingdom, the current ruler of Beiyuan Royal Court, and the current ruler of Yuzhou."
"The current person in charge of your Nan Zhao Ban La territory is Nan Yan Xi!"
"How about it, brother...worship..."
"Oh..." Xu Yan blinked and shook his thumb: "That's amazing..."
Nan Yanxi was stunned for a moment: "It's... it's over?"
"Uh... what else?" Xu Yan didn't seem to care, and just kept asking: "When will you let me see your firearms?"
"When will I be asked to select a site?"
Seeing that he and she were not on the same channel at all, Nan Yanxi suddenly felt as if she was deflated.
He waved his hands helplessly and said to Li Qi: "Father-in-law, in this case, Master Xu will be trained by you."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..."
Then he returned to his tent listlessly.
Li Jingmo followed behind and got in. He smiled at Nan Yanxi and said, "My husband also has a bad time?"
"You show off for a long time, but people don't care at all...hahaha..."
Seeing her like this, Nan Yanxi became even more angry and couldn't help but muttered: "This Xu Yan is really a piece of cake."
"I don't know how she got the heart of Miss Liu'er."
