The First Tyrant of Daxia

All officials gathered in the Taiji Hall.

Under countless gazes, Princess Sakura Sakai and a thin Japanese man walked into the hall.

Surrounded by golden dragons and pressured by officials, she and Miyamoto were almost unable to breathe.

"The Japanese envoy, Princess Sakai Sakura, pays respect to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"

She knelt down, her long dress fitting perfectly into her body. Somehow, even when she was kneeling, she looked more seductive than other women.

But Qin Yun's eyes were not on this stunning Japanese woman at all, but were fixed on the tall and thin man, who was dressed in cloth and had a stubbled face. His long face was handsome, but had some wrinkles and his skin was dark.

Judging from his eyes, he doesn't seem to be a scheming person, nor does he show any intimidation, as if he is just an ordinary person.

"You are Miyamoto, right?" He stood up, his eyes like torches, and walked forward step by step.

Miyamoto cupped his hands and said in standard Chinese: "Your Majesty, that's right."

The courtiers on both sides were surprised, what a mature accent!

"Are you Han Chinese?" Qin Yun blurted out, because his etiquette and accent were perfect.

Miyamoto replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my father is a Han Chinese, but he has lived on the sea and in Japan for many years."

"But I followed my father since I was young and learned a lot of Han etiquette."

Upon hearing this, the court officials all showed disdainful expressions.

“So he’s half Han.”

"My great Great Xia..."

Qin Yun saw that the ministers were beginning to be sarcastic and unhappy, so he quickly stopped them and glanced at them: "Quiet!"

Suddenly, the Taiji Hall fell silent and everyone restrained themselves.

But it’s not their fault. In this era, people do reject mixed-race people, believing that it will tarnish the bloodline of their ancestors.

The court officials especially disliked the Japanese, so it was inevitable that they were somewhat repulsive towards Miyamoto.

But Qin Yun didn't think it was a big deal.

Miyamoto gave Qin Yun a grateful look.

"I heard that you are good at shipbuilding? Many of the warships in Japan were built by you. Are you the only one?" Qin Yun asked again, completely ignoring Sakai Sakurahi.

She knelt on the ground, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of uneasiness and dissatisfaction.

What does it mean?

Miyamoto glanced at Sakai, then he bowed his hands and said humbly: "How can one person build a ship?"

"I just have some experience and know the art of shipbuilding, which my father taught me."

"I had originally retired, but Miss Sakai did me a favor, so I came here from afar."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes lit up, and he keenly noticed that he took a half step back.

The subtext is obvious: I came here because of Sakai, and I did it because she asked me to do it.

Sakai's face showed a calm expression, but he was very proud in his heart.

Humph, do you think you can build a ship just because people come?

As long as I don't want to, Miyamoto won't do anything.

Qin Yun put his hands behind his back, walked up to the two of them, and suddenly looked at Sakai Sakurahi with a smile.

"Ms. Sakai, thank you for coming all the way here."

After saying that, he took the initiative to reach out and help the man up.

His attitude is totally different from before.

This made important court officials such as Gu Chuntang and Xiao Jian feel aggrieved. This woman was trying to show off by using the core shipbuilding technology!

Humph, what a thing!

Sakai's red lips curled up, and there was a hint of pride on her sophisticated and mature face.

After so long, there is finally a counterattack!

At least, Qin Yun compromised a little.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. There is a treaty between Daxia and Japan. It is only natural for both sides to abide by the terms. Why should we bother?" Sakai said with a smile.

Gradually, she straightened her back, her figure became slender, and she seemed to have more confidence when speaking.

Qin Yun laughed secretly, are you reminding me?

I'll let you be proud for a while. Once I'm sure Miyamoto is fine, you'll know what "the world is a dangerous place" means.

He glanced at the faint whiteness beneath her collarbone.

He smiled and said, “You did a great job.”

"But whether Miyamoto can help Daxia build ships remains to be discussed."

Sakai seemed to know he would say that, and turned around and glanced at Miyamoto.

Miyamoto immediately pulled out a picture album from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, this is the result of my half-life experience in shipbuilding. Although it cannot solve all problems, I think it can still be useful."

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and winked at the Minister of Works Huang Yanqing.

He immediately walked out, took the atlas, and began to look through and study it with a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry.

A full half incense stick of time!

Huang Yanqing's eyes changed from disdain to solemnity. Finally, he came to Qin Yun's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Chinese carpenters have reached the pinnacle."

“But shipbuilding is lackluster.”

"This atlas is the essence of shipbuilding. It is not something that ordinary people can write. Just this alone can save us a lot of time."

Hearing this, Qin Yun was shocked!

so smart?

He waved his hands, but his face did not change expression, and he did not show his joy or urgency.

He looked at Sakai and said, "Ms. Sakai, atlases are dead after all, but people are alive. Whether the shipbuilding problem can be solved or not, we have to wait for practice to prove it."

"How about this, someone come!"

"Prepare the convoy immediately. I will personally inspect the shipyard in two days. Mr. Miyamoto, please come with me."

At this time, Gu Chuntang and others all stood up, as if they had discussed it beforehand.

"That's right, Your Majesty, practice should come first!"

"I will obey your order and prepare the convoy immediately."

“It’s only real once the ship is built!”

"..."

Seeing this, Sakai Sakurahi clenched her fists and her face darkened slightly. What does that mean? You did it on purpose!

You didn't mention the Red Cannon at all. Since you brought the person here yourself, you should at least mention it.

She couldn't help but glance at Miyamoto coldly. Miyamoto trembled, lowered his head and said nothing, seeming to be very afraid of Sakai.

"Your Majesty, I have submitted the treaty to the Emperor. He agrees with it and requires us to fully cooperate with Daxia in shipbuilding."

"It was even said that as long as Daxia needs it, Japan can send experienced shipbuilders over at any time."

Qin Yun heard that she was laying the groundwork and started practicing Tai Chi directly.

"Well, did you hear that? The Emperor of Japan is not just friendly, he is our friend!"

"Gu Chuntang, please write a thank you letter for me and send it to Japan."

As he said this, he walked towards the dragon ladder, wanting to return to the dragon throne.

"Yes!" Gu Chuntang said with a smile.

At this time, Sakai was a little anxious.

Yuzu took a step forward, leading directly to the following passage.

"Your Majesty, since Japan has shown its sincerity, shouldn't Your Majesty also fulfill the treaty?" She narrowed her eyes. The red cannon was something that she and Japan must get!

If she doesn't see the rabbit, she won't release the eagle!

Suddenly, everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony looked at Qin Yun with shining eyes.

His Majesty has already stated his position: if you want artillery, no!

Qin Yun's steps paused, and he turned around slowly, looking extremely majestic, with a deliberate sigh on his face.

"Alas, Ms. Sakai, I thought that based on our friendship, we could have some feelings, but I didn't expect it to be a business deal."
