Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

C296 Empress Xue



C296 Empress Xue

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Initially, I wanted to do this for a girl, but it was a little too much. So, it was not suitable. In the end, I changed it."    

    

The Empress was stunned for a moment. She caught the details of Xiao Yun's words and immediately asked, "This armor was made by Saint Xiao himself? "    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said with a bitter smile, "When I was free, I first designed it and then tried to make it myself. I didn't expect it to be made."    

    

The Empress said in shock, "Saint Xiao, you are truly a peerless genius! You should know what this armor of yours is, right? As long as it can be mass produced, that is simply..."    

    

After that... After that, the Empress didn't know how to describe it.    

    

The suppression of weapons is always the most important point in martial arts!    

    

With spears and wooden sticks, humans would stand out from the animals, with bronze equipment, humans would become the absolute king of this world.    

    

Sun Moon Country was the first country to produce iron weapons. After that, they would sweep across the world and conquer this huge territory. In the past thousand years, they had not completely used up all the land they had occupied.    

    

The significance of this armor was really significant.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Only the workshop of Xiao family can make this armor now. Moreover, this technology will not be spread to the outside world out of kindness."    

    

The Empress was stunned for a moment, then she smiled bitterly and felt very regretful.    

    

His Majesty frowned and said, "Why are you suddenly stingy? Before, no matter what technique it was, wasn't it possible to give it away? Why are you hiding it now? "    

    

Xiao Yun sighed and said," Because the peasants want to increase the dividends of this armor as much as possible. Now they are producing it in small quantities. It can also be used as an Elite Armament, although the number is very small. If it is used in a key battle, it will definitely have a miraculous effect. However, if the grasslanders contributed this technology, then the workshop in the world could produce it. And the refining method would also be immediately sent to Sun Moon Country and other large countries. With their workshops' conditions, and the country's resources would immediately popularize this armor. When we finally get a thousand sets, we will find that they are all equipped with standard equipment. When that time comes, how are we going to fight?"    

    

"This..."    

    

His Majesty was stunned for a moment and was speechless.    

    

That's right, under the conditions that there was a clear difference in the strength of industrial technology, many technological things had to be kept secret, or else it would be given to someone else as a weapon.    

    

The Empress also came to a realization.    

    

She immediately apologized, "It's because Bengong did not consider it properly, it's just that I was a little excited when I saw this item, please do not blame Saint Xiao."    

    

Xiao Yun scratched his head and chuckled, but there was a sense of loss in his heart.    

    

This Empress...    

    

Her title was too light.    

    

When it came to proper business, he would use Saint Xiao to address him. Only when it came to personal matters would he address him as "Yun'er."    

    

After chatting for a bit more, the Empress said, "Are you selling this armor? Since you want to sell it, why don't Bengong buy it? What do you think?"    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment.    

    

He quickly asked: "Empress, you also need this armor?"    

    

The Empress smiled and said, "There's a famous general in my hometown, it just so happens that I can wear this armor."    

    

Xiao Yun suddenly understood.    

    

The Empress's mother's home is the Xue family.    

    

He heard from Shangguan Qing'er that the Xue family only had a seventeen year old fierce general called Xue Renli. It was said that he was very powerful.    

    

However, Xiao Yun did not think that a seventeen year old fellow could be fierce to any extent. He was afraid that it was not because everyone gave the Empress face and forced themselves to be famous.    

    

At the same time, Yang Shuo also became anxious.    

    

He hurriedly rushed forward and said with a bitter face, "Empress, you can't be like this. Snatching Old Yang's business. This armor, Old Yang has taken a liking to it. It has already been decided a long time ago."    

    

“ Oh? Is that so?"    

    

The Empress appeared somewhat embarrassed.    

    

Xiao Yun, on the other hand, said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, the Empress. This armor is selling for two hundred taels of gold, and he can't afford it, so he still wants to buy it. Unless the peasants see money, they won't sell it."    

    

The Empress was shocked.    

    

First, she was surprised by Xiao Yun's attitude towards Yang Shuo. A junior directly said that the current Marquis was spouting nonsense. This was somewhat disobedient, but with Xiao Yun's past experiences, he seemed to be able to do it.    

    

Second, the price of this armor.    

    

Two hundred taels of gold was somewhat expensive for the royal family.    

    

A wealthy family with tens of thousands of dollars was the home of a wealthy family. Two hundred taels of gold was twenty thousand dollars!    

    

How could Yang Shuo just rely on his own salary to take it out? If he could really take it out... he would have to consider whether this fellow was corrupt or not!    

    

But there was also a possibility that Yang Shuo could sell the things that His Majesty gave him, and he would be able to gather these two hundred taels of gold.    

    

After all, this guy was greedy. Usually, whenever he made some small contributions, he would always come in front of His Majesty to ask for rewards. Over time, he had accumulated quite a lot.    

    

But what Xiao Yun said was also good. He wanted cash. Why would he wait for Yang Shuo to slowly put it together?    

    

The Empress had an apologetic expression, but her mouth was very honest as she said, "Then sell it to This Palace."    

    

She was able to take out 200 gold taels, and didn't even need to use her mother's money, her private property was enough.    

    

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "If the Empress wants it, 20 gold taels is fine."    

    

“ Oh? Hehe, Yun'er is really considerate."    

    

The Empress was first stunned, then she gently smiled and stretched out her hand to rub Xiao Yun's head.    

    

She felt that this action was a little inappropriate, so she smiled apologetically and looked at the armor again.    

    

Xiao Yun was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and explained to the Empress how to wear this armor and its characteristics.    

    

He stayed in the Imperial Reading Room for a while, and after the craftsmen finished working on it and tested the effects of the heating system, Xiao Yun left.    

    

It was the eunuch who sent him off.    

    

On the way, the eunuch sighed and said in a low voice, "In the early years, before His Majesty ascended the throne, Empress Xue... One time, when saving His Majesty, she was injured and this injury almost took her life... Although his life was saved in the end, it caused Empress Xue to lose the qualification to be a mother... "    

    

Xiao Yun touched his nose and smiled bitterly, "I'm not that likable. Logically speaking, she wouldn't treat me as a son."    

    

The eunuch shook his head and said, "If the Empress had a child, then she should be as old as you. Maybe she saw you having a good chat with His Majesty and ate with him. It gave the Empress the feeling of... a family of three"    

    

Xiao Yun suddenly froze, and the corner of his eye twitched violently.    

    

Family?    

    

A family of three?    

    

What kind of feeling was that?    

    

Xiao Yun was speechless.    

    

Because he really didn't know.    

    

In his past life and present life, he had seen many families and happiness.    

    

There was a warm bonfire, there was laughter and laughter, there was a feast, there was mischief and mischievousness, there was a gentle smile...    

    

But all of this had nothing to do with Xiao Yun.    

    

He let out a long sigh, then smiled sadly and said softly, "Actually... I don't need to live so tired."    

    

When he said this, he wasn't saying it for others to hear.    

    

The eunuch also understood.    

    

Therefore, he didn't say anything. He just looked ahead and stared blankly at Xiao Yun's back.    

    

He remembered that year, Empress Xue and that mysterious girl from the Shangguan family. They had always been very close, like sisters. On the day of the wedding of the Xiao family's second son, ... Empress Xue pretended to be a maidservant and followed the carriage along the way, sobbing silently along the way. This caused that person from the Shangguan family to be at a loss as to how to persuade her.    

    

After so many years, one became the Empress and had a prominent status, but the other, the happiest person in the past, had died on the Northern Chill battlefield...    

    

This had always been the pain in Empress Xue's heart!    

    

Of course, the eunuch still did not tell Xiao Yun about this matter.    

    

He always felt that Xiao Yun had to do something big, and couldn't be too close to the royal family.    

    

He was the future saint, so he couldn't get too close to the royal family.    

    

"What's wrong? What is the eunuch thinking?"    

    

Xiao Yun turned around and asked.    

    

"Oh, nothing... I was just thinking that if Young Master Xiao's restaurant opens, this old servant will be the first one to taste it."    

    

"Hahaha! Then this young master will immediately open the restaurant! I will only wait for the chief eunuch to come over and properly toast you."    

    

"Haha, then this old servant will wait patiently."    

    

Laughter and laughter, one old and one young, added a hint of fireworks to the dark Imperial Palace.
