Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

There was no need for him to answer.    

He already knew the answer.    

He nodded and said, "That's right, you're still a smart person. Since there's no problem, let's go."    

"Understood!"    

The captain's attitude this time was different from before.    

He was more like a subordinate than an official of the Imperial Court.    

Hence, this group of people started from scratch.    

At the same time, the people from the Xiao family who came with the carriage walked out and took some clothes for the Cui family to wear.    

Some women in particular used very good clothes.    

They also prepared some velvet strips and stuffed them into the gaps of the shackles to cushion the impact on their bodies.    

This sort of detail was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Finally, it made the Cui family all cry, unable to make a sound.    

The Xiao family's steward looked from afar and said with a stern voice, "Change to another place and that will be the beginning of a new journey. This journey is very far. What did he look like when he started crying? It was inauspicious. If you want to laugh, Young Master has said that you will leave with a smile. If you want to take this matter as a move, then consider it as a move. Young Master also said that you have made a huge mistake previously. But the sin is one thing, and you have already paid the price. What's left is the kindness of the gift. My young master has received your gift. I accept your kindness. This favor must be returned. "    

After saying that, he waved his hand and led the group of Xiao family disciples away.    

The escorting personnel walked for a distance and stopped immediately.    

It wasn't that they couldn't leave, but that they had to hire some people to help pull the cart and take care of the Cui family members.    

By the time everything was arranged, it was already the second day.    

The news of what happened at the city gate quickly spread throughout the entire capital along with the word of mouth.    

When people heard all of this, the entire country was speechless for a moment!    

It didn't matter whether it was the peddlers or the dignitaries.    

They couldn't help but stretch out their hands and raise their thumbs up.    

One yard is one yard, one thing is one thing.    

Xiao Yun's way of doing things... they were convinced!    

Zhao Wuji heard the servant finish.    

The corners of his eyes twitched.    

Then, his neck turned red, followed by his face, and then his eyes.    

He suddenly opened his mouth, and just as he was about to shout out a few words, his chest tightened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.    

The servants quickly surrounded him, patting his chest, back, and pinching him.    

It was not easy for Zhao Wuji to catch his breath.    

This old man, who had once dominated the world and controlled the great power of the world, laid his body limp on the back of the chair.    

He really wanted to curse.    

But he didn't even have the strength to curse.    

This matter also quickly reached His Majesty's ears.    

He had just returned to his own palace and didn't even have time to rest when he heard this... news that stunned him for a long time.    

Then he said somewhat angrily, "Okay, Zhen is a bad person, but you are going out to be a good person with good morals? This brat is really going too far!"    

Although that was what he said.    

His Majesty, however, changed the gloominess from before and smiled happily.    

The eunuch took out a good wine, placed a plate of delicacies on it, and took out two more cigar sticks.    

Very quickly, the Empress really did come.    

Not only did she mix food and drink, the Empress also liked the feeling of having a cigar. However, the Great Overseer had asked Xiao Yun before, and Xiao Yun said that smoking was not out of the question, but only half a cigar a day at most.    

Currently, the half-length cigar on the table belonged to the Empress.    

After the Empress sat down, she first went to get the cigar and then the wine.    

It made the Emperor speechless.    

This portion was still split from him.    

"That brat is really good at this."    

The Empress couldn't help but laugh.    

His Majesty nodded: "His wrist is quite high, he simply doesn't care about the world slandering him, he only waited for today's opportunity to use facts to speak. This is indeed more powerful than any normal explanation "    

The Empress said: "I don't know if it was intentionally arranged by him, or if he already planned to do so"    

The Emperor thought for a bit, then said:" Based on this brat's actions, I'm afraid he already planned to do so "    

“ Oh? Why is His Majesty so sure?"    

"It's not like you don't know this kid's character. Although he seldom abides by the law, he has his own set of standards. Furthermore, he rarely leaves this standard when he does things."    

"That's true. He often talks about rules. This must be his rule."    

"Mm, it's very clear that Cui Sanjin committed a mistake. He even caused the death of so many people. Thus, on Zhen's side... That brat did not say a single word. Whatever Zhen decided, he would do it. However, Cui Sanjin had given him gifts again. He returned all of these gifts. He had even spent quite a lot of money on them. This was another matter. No wonder those who had once been enemies with him would eventually become his friends. "    

"That's right..."    

The Empress sighed and said: "But this kind of behavior, it's a bit too calm, too clear about gratitude and resentment. It's as if there isn't even a bit of emotion mixed within. This type of person is more suitable to be a member of the royal family"    

His Majesty was stunned for a moment.    

Then he rolled his eyes and said:" Empress, did that kid offend you recently? "    

"No, why?"    

"[Then why are you so afraid of him?] With just a few words, you want to suppress him."    

The Empress covered her mouth and smiled, saying: "If everyone in the world says that he's good in front of His Majesty, then His Majesty will no longer be wary, this is what His Majesty should have"    

His Majesty smiled and said: "As a king, to doubt everything, this is still what that brat said"    

"Yes"    

The Empress nodded, then laughed again.    

Xiao Yun didn't really care about the opinions of others, even if this person was His Majesty or the Empress.    

Xiao Yun returned to his home and went straight to the backyard. He walked into the greenhouse and chose two vegetables. He personally cooked two side dishes, matched the wine with the wine, and leisurely ate and drank in his room.    

Seeing him like this, no one could imagine that he had just experienced a huge crisis.    

Maintaining happiness.    

Xiao Yun gradually realized one thing.    

He was the one who found happiness.    

It was really difficult to count on external forces to send him into a happy mood.    

If he waited until his heart was anxious, others would also be tired.    

The steward returned very quickly and told Xiao Yun about the matter at the city gate.    

Xiao Yun nodded his head in satisfaction. He casually picked up a piece of snack from the table and gave it to the steward.    

Seeing the steward leave with endless gratitude, Xiao Yun also felt a kind of joy.    

Sometimes, giving it would bring joy to others.    

This was a very wonderful thing.    

Because in the animal world, it seemed like it was quite difficult to find such a thing.    

However, after thinking about it carefully, there was still one.    

Giving it in exchange for happiness, perhaps it's something that comes naturally from genes, or perhaps giving this kind of behavior would make one feel a sense of accomplishment.    

The genes carried those stress conditions that came from the service of reproduction, which would make people not feel so tired when paying to their children.    

There was one thing that couldn't be denied.    

Regarding the series of reproductive activities, a lot of them could stimulate one's happy mood.    

Even if those things were to be thought about carefully, it would still be very tiring!    

Why was he happy?    

That's what your brain tells you.    

Why would your brain define this as happiness?    

This was a genetic definition.    

How would genes be defined?    

Because of the need for reproduction.    

Therefore, a lot of happiness that existed in human genes had to pay a huge price.    

However, humans were smart.    

They had found a lot of ways to enjoy happiness without paying a price.    

Isn't that good?    

How could it be bad!    

Because this would make people live longer.    

Take Xiao Yun's rules for example.    

He didn't need to look to know how grateful the Cui Family was at the city gates.    

They would even forget that the one who caused all this was actually the Xiao family.    

Even though they were the ones who brought this upon themselves, from a fundamental point of view, they were the ones who brought this upon themselves.    

However, if it wasn't for the prosperity of the Xiao family, Cui Sanjin wouldn't have ended up like this.    

However, if Cui Sanjin wasn't punished, it would be very difficult for those who died on the battlefield, especially their families, to be happy.    

So...    

There was no way to make everyone happy.    

Some people were happy, some people were sad.    

It was as if the happiness in the world was a fixed number. If you were to share more, others would be less.    

The best way was to unearth happiness from things that were clearly unhappy, and create happiness.    

This was the most powerful thing in the world.    

Xiao Yun smiled and raised his wine cup. He took a sip and smacked his lips.    

Someone came in.    

He didn't need to look back to know who it was.    

"Are you still brooding over the matter of those shopkeepers?"    

"Sigh..."    

Leng Yueling sighed.    

She walked over and reached out to massage Xiao Yun's shoulder.    

His shoulder was a little stiff.    

It could be seen from his back.    

The discoordination of his movements was like an old man who had worked hard all his life.    

After rubbing for a while, he sat opposite of Xiao Yun. He also raised a glass of wine and clinked it with Xiao Yun.    

This was the etiquette that she had learned from Xiao Yun.    

She felt that it was very good.    

Then she heard Xiao Yun explain the origin of this etiquette.    

It looked like a very heroic action, but it was actually because he was worried that someone would poison his wine.    

However, this action also contained the element of trust.    

So even though Leng Yueling knew the origin, she still liked it very much.    

"Are you tired? You are just thinking too much. You always want to do everything in detail."    

"Hmm..."    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly. He wanted to refute but found that he was powerless.    

Leng Yueling said, "He went to the Palace, so he did not have any credit or rewards?"    

"Yes."    

"I think... you don't have to worry about others, especially His Majesty. "    

"You need to think about it, especially His Majesty."
