Chapter one hundred and sixty-seventh small people willing to join the king's command
Chapter 167: The common people are willing to serve under the king
The words of the second elder Wu Tong opened a new world for Yao Yun.
This world is always different from the previous life. Personal power can change things, and the role of prestige, fame, and virtue will also be magnified.
In other words, the words of the second elder gave Yao Yun reassurance that even if the secret of the iron-making method was exposed, Xidu would not be in vain.
But Yao Yun also knew that the second elder's words were purely to comfort him.
Although it is true that offering the method of iron smelting has great merits and reaps many benefits, the specific details still need to be looked at in detail.
Now that Xidu is threatened by the Izumo Kingdom, he is forced to hand over the method of iron smelting. Although the princes of the Xia Dynasty, the princes of the world, and the people will remember the contribution of Yao Yun, the man of Xiyun, the effect is always so bad.
If Yao Yun had offered his iron-smelting method at a time when the Zhuxia Dynasty was being attacked by barbarians from all directions, wars were raging, and it was besieged internally and externally, the effect would have been very different.
Xia Liming was grateful to him.
What kind of behavior is this? This is a noble behavior that takes the world as its own responsibility, is generous and selfless, and is the character of a benevolent and sage king. Coupled with the wisdom of Yao Yun's ancestors, after a lot of momentum, Yao Yun, this
The unknown princes suddenly became famous throughout the Xia Dynasty.
At this time, Yao Yun was undoubtedly blessed with a halo, and he fully possessed the profound foundation to compete for the position of emperor.
Giving help in times of need is always more valuable than adding icing on the cake. If you also offer the method of making iron, the treatment you will receive will be extremely different. Yao Yun, who has been born in two generations, can see this clearly.
Even when profit is not considered, Yao Yun is willing to give up the method of making iron. After all, the human race in this world lives a very hard life, and Yao Yun is not that kind of selfish person.
However, now that Yao Yun is weak, he still needs to pay every penny for his interests, and it is best to maximize his interests.
Yao Yun and Wu Tong chatted quietly and then fell silent. The two of them kept looking out. It was obvious that both of them were waiting for the arrival of the bald dragon.
The situation is now clear. The most critical thing is the purpose of Izumo Country's exploration of iron tools and how much Izumo Country knows about the method of iron smelting.
The Bald Dragon has already taken action, but I don't know how it will go.
While the two were waiting, a stream of light flew into the palace, and a bald dragon stepped on the clouds and appeared in front of them.
"Uncle Long, how is the situation?"
The bald dragon looked gloomy, shook his head and said: "The situation is not good. This dragon has captured a master weapon maker from Izumo Country. He already knows that iron tools are made of ordinary iron ore."
Later, the bald dragon revealed everything he had overheard.
Yao Yun and Wu Tong looked at each other, their hearts sinking. The worst had happened.
"As expected of a master of weaponry, he immediately saw the extraordinary power of iron tools. From this point of view, the secret of the iron-making method can no longer be kept."
Wu Tong had taught Yao Yun previously that he was optimistic and casual, but when he suddenly heard the bad news, he couldn't help but sigh.
Yao Yun calmed down and said comfortingly: "It doesn't matter even if the method of smelting iron is exposed. We can hand over the method of smelting pig iron and keep the skill of steel-making."
At this point, Wu Tong and Bald Long could only nod.
Yao Yun thought for a while and asked the bald dragon to summon the Izumo Kingdom's weapon-smithing master. The only question now is how much the Izumo Kingdom knows about the secrets of iron-making? Is there any room for manipulation?
Soon, Master Liao came in front of everyone.
Without saying anything, Yao Yun directly used the magical power of [Knowing People with Wisdom Eyes] to see what happened.
[Liao Yuan: Uneasy and curious; second-grade root and bone qualifications; first-grade mental qualifications, first-grade Baron Qi Refiner, good at forging weapons, and can be called everyone.]
At first glance, Yao Yun didn't find anything wrong. The only thing he was surprised about was that the other party was very courageous. It was weird that the spy was still curious about him after being caught.
Everyone is looking at Master Liao, and Master Liao is also observing Yao Yun and others. He has seen the bald dragon, Wu Tong is dressed like a witch Zhu, and his identity is easy to guess. Yao Yun, a young man, is sitting in the main seat, and his identity is also very important.
Good guess.
Master Liao suddenly understood the identities of the people in front of him. Sitting on the main seat must be the young King Xi, and the old man next to him was naturally the elder of the witch temple.
Master Liao's mind had calmed down on the road. At this time, there was no panic or fear. He bowed to the ground respectfully and shouted:
"The common people have met the king."
Everyone was happy when they heard this. The title of "King" is very intriguing. Generally, people from other vassal states would respectfully address Yao Yun as King Xi when they see him. As for the title of "King", it is usually only the people of the country who call him such a deep one. The master of weapon casting in front of him has obviously experienced the world.
There's no reason why I don't understand the twists and turns involved.
The other party's "King" was beyond Yao Yun's expectation. Calling "King" had several meanings. It was a sign of goodwill or surrender. If that was the case, it would be too shameless.
"Your name is King Gu?" Yao Yun asked with interest.
"Yes!" Master Liao smiled awkwardly. He was indeed showing his goodwill. He understood his situation very well. According to normal circumstances, his life was definitely not guaranteed. The only chance of survival was to show his goodwill to King Xi.
Hearing the other party's straightforward answer, Yao Yun frowned and looked at Wu Tong and Bald Long. Both of them looked confused.
"You are from Izumo country, you are a great master of weaponry. You are not a guest wherever you go. Why do you start stealing? How can I call you a thief?"
Master Liao looked embarrassed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "The king has misunderstood, everything is a misunderstanding. The common people traveled with the caravans to various countries, and encountered on the road that the gold and stone utensils of the Xi Kingdom were extremely superior. The common people will understand a little bit."
The art of forging weapons, it is inevitable to be curious about such objects, I hope your Majesty will take a closer look!"
It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it at all, but unfortunately, Yao Yun is not the kind of person with soft ears. He smiled and said: "Iron tools, you recognize them, why bother to hide them and talk about metal and stone tools."
Master Liao apologized and smiled, without showing any aloofness in front of Lord Izumo. He was very respectful: "Yes, Your Majesty is indeed wise. He himself once wanted to make things with iron, but unfortunately he did not know the art of iron smelting. After coming to Xidu, he said
Only then will my eyes be opened, and I will realize that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.”
When Yao Yun saw that the other party kept making sloppy remarks, he suddenly felt irritated and said impatiently: "Master Liao, Gu Jing, you are a master of weaponry. I didn't fight with you. Otherwise, in your situation, you would have been dead."
, tell me, what is the purpose of Lord Izumo sending you here!"
Yao Yun directly gave an ultimatum. He no longer wanted to entangle with the other party and got straight to the point.
Master Liao was also shocked by Yao Yun's reaction. As the saying goes, a gentleman bullies others. In the Izumo Kingdom, the monarch treated him with courtesy, so he could naturally put on airs, but it was different in the Xi Kingdom.
King Xi wanted to kill him, but if he still pretended to be deaf and mute and remained unruly, he would surely die in the Kingdom of Xi.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of Izumo did not send the common people to the Xi Kingdom to inquire about the iron weapons. I accidentally broke the secret. The common people know that the king is in trouble, and I am willing to join the king's service." Master Liao bowed down without moral integrity.
land.
Yao Yun and others looked at each other, this master was too unruly.
