At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Your Majesty, is it time for dinner?"

The young female official saw that the empress had slowed down a little, so she stepped forward to ask.

"Ah."

The empress nodded.

Although Xia Yun was a bit of a rip-off and the room rate was sky-high.

The service was decent.

It really makes people feel like being an emperor.

Thinking of this, the empress's face became even darker.

I wish I could kill that bastard Xia Yun right now.

"Gudong."

The aroma of the food made the empress temporarily put aside her strong murderous intent.

He took the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by the female official and prepared to eat his meal before thinking about it.

How to deal with Xia Yun.

"hiss."

The young female official accidentally glanced at the contents of the memorial and immediately gasped.

No wonder.

Your Majesty will be so angry.

Xia Yun actually dared to be so bold as to deceive the emperor and lie with open eyes.

The memorial was written with tears in his eyes.

If I hadn’t spent these days wandering around Dai County.

Be aware of the situation.

I guess he really believed it.

Whoever has seen people as wealthy as a behemoth, she has seen it.

"Alright, let's all retreat."

After finishing her meal, the empress immediately began to think about how to deal with Xia Yun.

She couldn't stand it for a day.

"As ordered."

The young female official did not dare to say anything more and simply tidied up.

Then he left the room.

...

the other side.

I don’t know if Xia Yun, who was wavering between life and death, was among the beauties.

Slowly did it.

The pink arms quickly aroused his anger.

but.

Remember there is still important work to do.

Xia Yun quickly calmed himself down, washed up, and came to the outside of the county government office.

We took a metal car all the way to the outskirts of the county.

"grown ups."

When they approached a slope, hundreds of them were fully armed.

A fierce man holding a flintlock rifle and wearing black armor.

Looking towards Xia Yun.

Full of awe.

"Okay, let's continue our patrol."

Xia Yun waved his hand and walked toward the back of the mound.

After going deeper.

A stretch of ochre-colored houses appeared before our eyes.

There were soldiers walking among them, with a guard post almost every five steps.

Always be vigilant.

"Master Xia."

"Master Xia."

The moment they saw Xia Yun, they immediately bowed their heads and saluted.

In this regard.

Xia Yun simply responded.

He hurriedly walked into an earthen house, which was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

this is.

A production line of flintlock rifles that looks a bit crude.

Many workers are busy.

Brand new flintlock rifles were assembled and sealed in wooden boxes.

Neatly stacked in the warehouse.

"Sir, you are here."

The leader of the craftsmen saw Xia Yun and hurried over.

fundus.

All of them were filled with awe.

"Produce a batch of parts according to the drawing."

Xia Yun took out a roll of rice paper from his arms and threw it to the leading craftsman.

He gave a light instruction.

"Yes."

All the craftsmen dared not neglect Xia Yun's words in the slightest.

immediately.

Free up space for processing parts.

There was not even enough time to marvel at the design of the picture.

Relying on previous experience, he quickly kneaded out the prototypes of each part.

Polishing in rotation.

Not a moment.

Most of the parts Xia Yun needed had been processed.

"Sir, this is your new creation, is it also a flintlock rifle?"

The head craftsman carefully handed the parts to Xia Yun one by one.

Somewhat curious.

It is a bit similar to a flintlock rifle, but also a bit different.

It looks more refined.

Only Lord Xia could come up with such an exquisite design.

"Kakakaka."

Xia Yun didn't explain anything and started assembling the gun himself.

The parts were installed together one by one.

The only sound in the room was the friction between parts.

Everyone.

All held their breath.

He stared at Xia Yun's movements intently, afraid of missing any crucial points.

Just a short while.

It seemed like a century had passed.

A black spear grew from its initial form to a complete one in Xia Yun's hands.

Revealed.

The skeleton is full of metallic texture, compared to the simple flintlock rifle.

More aggressive.

"good."

After Xia Yun checked it, he nodded with satisfaction.

In hand.

It is like the first Mauser rifle in human history in the previous life.

It was brought to this world by Xia Yun and was debugged for a while.

Then he walked out of the room.

Ready to try out the new gun.

He had the idea long before those two fat girls asked to buy guns.

The flintlock rifle has been updated.

Although the flintlock rifle he developed after traveling through time was much more advanced.

But it's not really a gun.

Close range.

The lethality is still sufficient once the distance is too far.

The power is not as good as ordinary crossbows.

Without the cooperation of the iron cart, we might not be able to catch up with the aliens on the grassland.

Now the time has come for him as a military science researcher.

It's not that difficult.

Just copy it directly.

"boom."

As the trigger was pulled, a huge sound echoed in the wind and sand.

Orange bullet.

In an instant, it shattered the handle in the distance and pierced through the yellow earth wall.

"good."

Xia Yun looked at the muzzle of the Mauser rifle, which was still swirling with smoke.

Very satisfied.

He then gave further instructions and asked the craftsmen to work overtime to complete the work.

He left with a few guards.

...

Zuixian Tower.

"Your Majesty, all the food has been shipped to the Jiangnan region."

"only."

Several guards knelt in front of the empress, some of them seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"explain."

The empress frowned, and a vague guess came to her mind.

"The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River united to boycott potatoes and spread rumors that potatoes were poisonous and would kill people if eaten, which led to the people's

“I don’t dare to accept the disaster relief potatoes.”

The guard's words had just fallen.

The Empress's expression darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye:

"These Jiangnan nobles are so bold, do they really think I dare not touch them?"

"Pfft."

Several guards immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look up at the empress.

heart.

Still praying silently that I won't be taken out on.

"It seems like it's time to go back to Beijing."

The empress suppressed her anger and sent several guards away.

Looking at the secret letter in his hand.

His face was cloudy and uncertain.

However, when he looked at the wooden box containing the flintlock rifle not far away, his brows relaxed a little.

With the flintlock rifle.

The threat from the Jiangnan gentry will become vulnerable.

Now that I have it in my hands, I don't have to be too afraid of that bastard Xia Yun.

By the time.

This bastard must be hung up and beaten severely.

"Pfft."

Thinking of Xia Yun's shrill screams, the empress couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Like a beautiful flower blooming.

The personal female official standing beside her was stunned by what she saw.

Following the empress for so long.

It was the first time I saw the empress smile.

But soon, the scene was interrupted by a faint sound coming from the room.

Got interrupted.

"Ugh."

"Master Xia, don't."
