The First Tyrant of Daxia

Wang Min sat back on the dragon chair, closed her beautiful eyes tightly, and her chest heaved.

No one knew how much she hated Qin Yun!

No one knew how much she didn't want to lose!

The white knuckles on her slender hands were enough to show her hatred towards Qin Yun.

He shouted in his heart, I will not admit defeat, I just want to let you, Qin Yun, know how stupid your original choice was!

That bitch Xiao Shufei is just a vase, how is she better than me?!

After venting her anger, she suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were as sharp as knives, and she calmed down.

He said coldly: "The operation has failed. The emperor has already started transporting food on a large scale. It is estimated that the war will start in a month. What do you think we should do?"

All the officials looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

Zhang Ren stood up, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and his voice was so loud that the ministers almost dropped their eyes to the ground.

"If you don't do one thing, you won't stop doing the other thing."

"Let's get started!"

"Since it is a foregone conclusion and cannot be delayed, then Daliang should seize the initiative!"

All the ministers were shocked!

Take the initiative?

"No, it's too risky!"

"Too impulsive. I don't think Daxia would dare to start a full-scale war!"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of the officials, Wang Min's eyes looked deep and solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

He seemed to be a little interested in Zhang Ren's proposal.

imperial capital.

Royal Garden.

Qin Yun stood on the arch bridge, took some cakes and casually fed the fish in the pond.

The sun is shining today and the spring breeze is warm.

The flowers in the garden are in full bloom and the birds are singing, which makes people feel relaxed.

"Xuan Yunzi, how are you handling the weather department's affairs?"

Xuan Yunzi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have already chosen the address for the office. With the cooperation of the adults, it should be completed soon."

Qin Yun nodded: "Those disciples of your Dao Sect who are outstanding can join us."

"But the purpose of the Meteorological Department is quality, not quantity."

Xuan Yunzi nodded and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will strictly check it."

"The Meteorological Department is divided into three departments: observing the sky, surveying the land, and measuring the weather. Each department has its own responsibilities, which can guarantee the stability of Daxia to a certain extent."

"I will invite a few trusted uncles from Dao Zong to come and only assist Your Majesty, and will never participate in any political faction."

Hearing this, Qin Yun was very satisfied.

She turned around and patted his shoulder. She was about to say something, but she saw Jinzhu coming not far away.

His dress was extremely strange, with the characteristics of a gnat tribe member.

He trotted over and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I can already refine basic sesame oil!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes lit up instantly!

"Are you serious? So fast?!"

Jin Zhu's old face was covered with wrinkles, and he said with a grin, "I will not disgrace the emperor's order. I will not disgrace the emperor's order. With the ancient method I got back from He Wuji, I will be able to refine sesame oil soon."

"But this substance is extremely difficult to refine, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet your majesty's expectations..."

Qin Yun asked: "Be more specific, what are the difficulties?"

Jinzhu frowned, did some calculations, and said hesitantly, "It's expensive and laborious. A bottle of sesame oil that burns a house, not counting labor, costs at least one hundred taels of silver!"

Hear the words.

Everyone present, including people like Xuan Yunzi, showed a look of shock.

Chang Hong glared and shouted, "Old man, you are not lying to His Majesty, are you?"

"It costs one hundred taels of silver to refine a bottle of oil? Why don't you just go and rob it? Do you know how much the pension for a dead soldier is?"

"Yes, yes!"

"These are the big families in the past. Even hearing about them would make you stay away!"

Everyone spoke in unison, making a great noise.

The cost is really outrageous.

Jinzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "That's the truth..."

"Moreover, the most important thing is that the materials are hard to find! It's not just about the money."

"Among them, tung oil is rarely grown in the imperial capital, almost non-existent."

After hearing this, everyone frowned and began to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better not to use sesame oil."

"Even if we don't have this thing, we can still defeat those thieves in Xiliang. Using this thing to fight is not like fighting with a knife, it's clearly fighting with money!"

"I agree too!"

"..."

Qin Yun frowned slightly, but did not express his opinion.

He knew that the ancient method of making sesame oil recorded that this oil with extremely strong burning power required the blending of multiple vegetable oils and animal oils.

Often, a lot of materials can only be refined into a small bottle.

It is indeed difficult and expensive.

But you get what you pay for. If used well, this thing can even be a force that transcends this era!

Not to mention making thermal weapons, but standard Molotov cocktails and the like should be possible, right?

"Okay, stop talking."

He finally spoke, and silence quickly fell around him.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. There is a reason why this sesame oil costs money. I am not only interested in the basic combustion."

“And its subsequent uses!”

"If war doesn't cost money, then what should cost money?"

"Wait until the enemy has a knife on my neck before researching weapons like special sesame oil that can kill a large area?"

His rhetorical question exuded authority.

Suddenly, all the confidants who had opposed just now shut up.

Your Majesty has always been far-sighted, so perhaps he has his considerations.

On the side, Jinzhu bent over and asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty, do you mean to continue refining?"

Qin Yun nodded, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. He had never given such a decisive and resolute order before.

If Daxia wants to last for thousands of years, to enjoy peace and prosperity, or even to conquer cities and territories, it needs a national treasure!

And sesame oil is the opportunity to become this national treasure!

His national pride gushed out and he spoke resolutely.

"For the sake of future generations, I am willing to use all of Daxia's strength to research and develop a powerful weapon that our neighboring countries and ethnic groups do not have!"

“This is called, investment!!”

"Even if I fail, I won't regret it!"

For some unknown reason, everyone present suddenly got goosebumps, infected by Qin Yun's strong willpower.

"Your Majesty, we believe in you!"

"make!"

“Making sesame oil!”

"Burn the enemies to death!!" they roared one after another, with great momentum.

"..."

Looking at the indignant ministers, Jinzhu felt like crying but had no tears.

I thought you guys wanted the special sesame oil from the Licea people, but I can’t make that much.

War is about to break out with Xiliang. If he fails to produce enough sesame oil for the battlefield within the construction period, he, the great lord of the Lice Clan, will be the one in trouble.

Qin Yun's handsome face was shining brightly under the sunlight.

He said loudly: "In this case, everyone has no objection."

"Then pass on my order. The whole country should help Jinzhu make sesame oil!"

"The money will come from the treasury, and the materials will come from the army!"

"As many people as you want!"

"I will personally choose the territory!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was shocked.

Those four words spread across the country like thunder from the sky, leaving people stunned!

Even if Feng Lao is old, he will lose his luster.

Is sesame oil so important?

Even if we invest to build weapons and armor that defy nature, we don't need to mobilize the whole country, right? This is not a matter of life and death...

Qin Yun seemed very calm, with almost no hesitation in making a major decision.

"That `s a deal."

"Jinzhu, come with me. I have something secret to discuss with you. The Royal Guards are on alert. No one is allowed to interfere within a 200-foot radius!"

hiss……

In the crowd, there were countless gasps and pupils of fear.

What's wrong with His Majesty today? What are you going to do? You don't need to mobilize so many troops, right?

Jinzhu was also frightened and hurried to follow, looking solemn and suspicious.
