Envoys from various countries visited Xidu one after another, making Xidu, which was already increasingly prosperous and commercially developed, even more lively.
Yao Yun originally wanted to sell the Hundred-Refined Divine Weapons every month for money, but he had always been worried that it would be too ostentatious to take out so many Hundred-Refined Divine Weapons, so he did not dare to act rashly.
However, thanks to the "steel" deposit invented by the dramatist Master Liao, Xidu sells one or two hundred-refined magic weapons every month, which all countries find too few, wishing that Xi State would put out more hundred-refined magic weapons for auction.
Regarding this situation, Yao Yun naturally saw it with his eyes and was happy in his heart. The so-called heavenly materials and earthly treasures of steel did not exist at all. How about using the hundred-refined magic weapon in exchange for gold, grain, and all kinds of weird and rare objects?
Caidibao, this business is simply too profitable, with huge profits.
The key is that the blacksmiths' salaries are low, which basically provides them with their daily necessities and makes their lives a little richer. The blacksmiths are satisfied, well, even grateful.
As for the slave laborers, they worked hard without complaint and were given food to eat.
Yao Yun somewhat understood the mood of those slave owners. It was really a huge gain to oppress slaves to earn profits for themselves. At a certain moment, Yao Yun's will became a little unsteady and he wanted to fall into this profit.
But Yao Yun is a principled person, and there are some things he can only think about.
In his last life, some people said that he was "stupid", had a dark heart, and was ruthless, but he still had a good time living. Why must he stick to what he considers his conscience? Are you tired?
Yao Yun said he was tired, and sometimes wanted to join in the misfortune, but he never took a step, even though it was easy to take that step and live a different life.
Maybe this is human beings. They are destined to be born. The body has genes, and the soul also has genes.
Of course, the happiest thing for Yao Yun happened. The envoy from the Izumo Kingdom arrived in Xidu with a gift from the Izumo King.
This scene surprised Yao Yun, he never expected such an ending.
The second elder, Wu Tong, severely damaged the Izumo monarch and almost cost him his life. However, he later sent gifts to repair the relationship between the two countries.
For people like Lord Izumo, Yao Yun despises and admires him at the same time. Of course, he is more in awe.
The king of a country is capable of bending and stretching. Yao Yun's forbearance and the city government are really hard to match. If something happened to him, even if he was beaten to death, he would not take the initiative to give gifts. This is too frustrating.
But Lord Izumo did it.
Thinking of this, Yao Yun felt a little vigilant in his heart. A non-biting dog like Lord Izumo was very scary. If he couldn't be beaten to death with a stick, he would be in trouble in the future.
In the words of the second elder Wu Tong, it is not scary to kill with a hard knife, but it is scary to hurt with a soft knife.
Yao Yun, who is naturally optimistic, happily accepted the gift from the Izumo Kingdom without much thought, warmly entertained the envoy, and then went to meet Master Liao, another master of trophy weapon casting!
Master Liao has now settled down in Xidu. He is obsessed with the art of forging weapons and smelting. He feels that Xidu is very livable, much better than Yundu.
The people here are nice to talk to, and they also need new forging materials and training. There is no better place than this.
"Your Majesty, Second Elder, and the common people are willing to accept the witchcraft of slavery and the control of King Xi, please be sure to give me the witchcraft!"
Perhaps there was something wrong with Master Liao's brain, or maybe he wanted to stay in Xidu too much and gain the trust of King Xi, so he actually approached Yao Yun and asked Yao Yun to give him a witchcraft to control him.
Hearing this, Yao Yun and Wu Tong both looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.
Weird things happen every day, but this is the first time they have seen someone actively requesting others to perform slave witchcraft on him. Even slaves are not so despicable.
Not to mention that the victim was a master weapon maker!
The Master Weaponsmith can be a favorite in any vassal country. Even if he goes to the imperial capital, he can also be the guest of nobles from various families, and everyone will treat him with courtesy.
Slave the Master Weaponsmith? If others knew about it, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of criticism.
Although Yao Yun detained Master Liao, Yao Yun was only rough in the beginning when dealing with talents, but he was still very gentle later on.
For a moment, Yao Yun and the second elder Wu Tong stared at each other, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, Master Liao became anxious.
If King Xi did not enslave him, he would not be able to fully gain King Xi's trust;
King Xi doesn't trust him, so he can't get in-depth contact with the magical Hundred Refining Divine Weapon;
How can his weapon-making skills be improved without coming into contact with the Hundred-Refined Divine Weapon;
If the art of forging weapons cannot be improved, what's the point of his life?
Rough and simple thoughts are always so unexpected, Master Liao hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, the people have judged that the Izumo Kingdom has surrendered to the Xidu. You must think that I am a wallflower and unreliable. I understand this. In order to reassure the Majesty, I am willing to accept the witchcraft of slavery. Life and death are controlled by your thoughts. In this way, you
You don’t have to worry anymore.”
Yao Yun woke up from the shock, swallowed his saliva and asked: "Master Liao, what kind of medicine did you take today? Or was it poisoned? This is the first time I have heard such a ridiculous plea!"
Master Liao waved his hand quickly: "It's not absurd, I have an intention."
Yao Yun was very happy, Master Liao was really interesting.
"What are your intentions?"
Master Liao gritted his teeth and said: "I am here for the sake of the Hundred Refining Divine Weapons, well, to be precise, for the sake of steel. I am obsessed with the art of forging weapons and smelting them, and I am willing to devote my whole life to studying this art. Your Majesty, you can despise me and think that I am useless.
I have no roots, but in my eyes, the Izumo Kingdom has nothing to do with me, in my eyes I only have the art of forging weapons!"
Originally, Yao Yun did despise Master Liao in his heart. He was so ungrateful. After being caught, he didn't even put up a symbolic struggle. He turned around and sold his old master to flatter his new master. Such a talented but unscrupulous person, Yao
In his heart, Yun looked down upon him.
But after hearing Master Liao's words, Yao Yun's previous thoughts disappeared and he was immediately in awe. When he looked at Master Liao again, his eyes became different.
"So, in order to gain Gu's trust, you insisted on letting Gu cast enslavement witchcraft on you?" At this time, Yao Yun finally understood Master Liao's shocking words.
Master Liao nodded straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, I am very knowledgeable in the art of forging weapons. I will be of great use to your Majesty!"
Master Liao's words were very straightforward and explicit, just like when he surrendered to Xi Guo that day.
Yao Yun already believed it in his heart, but he did not refuse Master Liao's request. Slavery is slavery. Anyway, he will not suffer any loss, and maybe it is a cruel trick!
"Okay, I agree to your request." After saying that, Yao Yun looked at Master Liao and observed his every move.
When Master Liao heard this, he danced happily and fell to his knees.
"Thank you very much for your willingness to enslave me, I am so grateful!" Master Liao's face trembled with satisfaction.
Yao Yun felt a chill in his heart, and now he finally believed that Master Liao was really different from ordinary people.
