Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

"Why is everyone so angry today? What's going on?"    

"You're still playing dumb? "    

His Majesty was about to come down and deal with him personally.    

However, there were too many people present.    

He couldn't really go down and hit people.    

Xiao Yun scratched his head.    

He said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? I still have a position."    

His Majesty was stunned. He frowned and said, "A position? What position?"    

"Ah? Did you really forget?"    

Xiao Yun blinked his eyes, his face full of disbelief.    

His Majesty was also stunned.    

He remembered Xiao Yun's rewards and duties.    

Why didn't he remember giving Xiao Yun any secret duties?    

The two of them stared at each other for a while.    

In the end, Xiao Yun could only helplessly stretch his hand into his pocket. After digging for a long time, he took out a plate.    

Then he said, "Your majesty, have you forgotten this?"    

His Majesty fixed his eyes on it and instantly widened his eyes.    

The True Dragon Token!    

He had really forgotten about it.    

Back in the Imperial Prison, in order to reward Xiao Yun and make it convenient for him to do things, he had given him this True Dragon Token.    

The reason why he had forgotten about it after that... It was because Xiao Yun wanted a piece of land at that time.    

It was simply asking for an exorbitant price. His Majesty had no choice but to give him the title of Viscount, which was why he gave the land.    

However, it was precisely because of the matter of the land that His Majesty forgot about the True Dragon Token.    

Furthermore...    

Xiao Yun had never used the True Dragon Token before.    

As for the function of the True Dragon Token...    

It was actually very similar to the Shang Fang Sword.    

Enforcing the law on behalf of the heavens!    

To put it bluntly.    

It was precisely because of this token that Xiao Yun's earlier words, "behead first and report later," appeared to be well-founded.    

Zhao Wuji also saw the True Dragon Token.    

After that, he was completely stunned.    

The other officials also had the same expression.    

How could it be the True Dragon Token?    

How was this possible?    

Why did Xiao Yun have such a thing?    

Speaking of which...    

Why didn't they know?    

The True Dragon Token, if His Majesty wanted to give it to someone, he had to announce it to the world! Furthermore, there was a time limit, such as ten days, or a month.    

One couldn't let someone take it for a lifetime.    

But now, not only did they not know that Xiao Yun had the True Dragon Token, they also did not know when Xiao Yun had it and how long he had it.    

But no matter what, Zhao Wuji's heart was cold.    

Prime Minister Lee even rubbed his eyes.    

He frowned and took a closer look.    

There was no doubt that it was true.    

He thought for a moment, then immediately said, "Saint Xiao, even if you have the True Dragon Token, you can't kill without reason, and even exile those family members. This is beyond your authority. Do you know your crime?"    

His Majesty immediately nodded.    

To be honest, Prime Minister Lee knew more about the law than him.    

Xiao Yun blinked and said, "Why not?"    

"They are civilians. If you want to kill them, you have to have a reason. The Three Divisions will interrogate them."    

Hearing Prime Minister Lee's words, Xiao Yun said in surprise, "Why?"    

"You!"    

Prime Minister Lee was such a calm person. He had argued with His Majesty for an hour, but his face was not red, and his heart was not beating. But today, he was extremely angry with Xiao Yun.    

Xiao Yun snorted and said, "Do you think they don't deserve to die? Hehe, let's take the manager, Han Tihu, for example. Do you know how much money he took from the Gold Hidden Pavilion in just half a year?"    

Prime Minister Lee was startled.    

How could he know this?    

He stuttered for a long time.    

He did not say anything.    

This made His Majesty extremely happy!    

After all, there were not many opportunities to see Prime Minister Lee suffer!    

Usually, it was he who had asked him questions that made him speechless and lose face in front of all the civil and military officials. But now, he had started to lose face!    

It was a pity that there were still too few officials who could be trusted.    

It would be great if more people saw this scene.    

"No... I'm not sure."    

Although Prime Minister Lee was reluctant, he still told the truth.    

Xiao Yun sighed and stretched out a finger. He said, "This number."    

"One hundred taels?"    

"No, ten thousand taels of silver. "    

" Hiss... "    

Everyone gasped.    

Ten thousand taels?    

That was a rank one official of the Imperial Court, a salary of nearly a hundred years!    

His Majesty's brows twitched a few times, and he asked in a deep voice, "He can be so greedy? In half a year, he can actually be greedy for ten thousand taels? If this were to be used by the Imperial Court, it could be used to provide aid to the three southern towns. This is truly detestable. He deserves to die ten thousand times for his crimes! "    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment before he asked doubtfully, "What kind of three towns would require ten thousand taels of gold to provide aid?"    

Everyone immediately fell silent after hearing this.    

They stared at Xiao Yun with their eyes wide open.    

There was a hint of fear in their eyes.    

His Majesty's voice became hoarse all of a sudden.    

"You... you are talking about gold?"    

Xiao Yun said, "Yes, it is gold. What do you think it is? Silver?"    

Gudong.    

The sound of saliva being swallowed was very soft, but if everyone in the crowd did the same thing at the same time, the tiny sounds would be very loud when gathered together.    

Prime Minister Lee took three steps back.    

Money.    

When it reached a certain realm, it was enough to make people fear!    

His Majesty opened his mouth and found that he could not speak. After a while, he cleared his throat and asked, "Is it really as much as ten thousand taels of gold? "    

Xiao Yun shrugged and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of place do you think the Gold Hidden Pavilion is?"    

He sighed and spread his arms, gathering them in the middle.    

"The wealth of the Qin Country, which has been accumulated for thousands of years, is now in the hands of the common people. In all kinds of ways, there are also the Sun Moon Country and the North Wei. There are also countless small countries and Gold Hidden Pavilion that have gathered all of these wealth through currency exchange. What exactly was the Gold Hidden Pavilion? There were probably still many people who did not understand. It was actually a primer. It was to convert the traditional currency system into gold as the foundation. A brand new system in the form of gold notes, in the process of conversion... Even those who were involved did not realize that the wealth they had accumulated over the years... They had quietly entered the Gold Hidden Pavilion and changed the form of the Gold Hidden Pavilion. If there was greed in this... Hehe, the closer they were, the less they would appear. That amount of wealth was also unimaginable to ordinary people. To put it bluntly, what he was after was not the money of the Gold Hidden Pavilion, he was greedy. It's all the money in the world!"    

Having said that, Xiao Yun looked around, then rubbed his brows and said, "The details involved are too complicated. Even if I talked about it for three days and three nights, you wouldn't understand. So all you need to know is the importance of the Gold Hidden Pavilion. It could even be said that... It was not impossible for it to be a national divine weapon. And among them... Such a serious greed had appeared, and it wasn't an exception. It was a common phenomenon. Your Majesty, my lords, if the peasants are not dealt with by lightning... Will the peasants be able to suppress it?"    

"This..."    

His Majesty had not actually recovered from the shock of ten thousand taels of gold.    

He knew how much gold he had.    

All of it was with Xiao Yun. Even if he counted it all, it was not much.    

However, the vouchers and gold bills that were issued now were already an astronomical figure!    

"Damn it, really damn it!"    

Prime Minister Lee was also shocked, but he still said, "Even so, it should be dealt with by the law. It should not be handled by you alone. In Qin Country, no one can decide the life and death of others at will. Do you understand? That's why you've overstepped your boundaries. "    

Xiao Yun rubbed his nose and smiled. "Why not?"    

"You! Do you think you are His Majesty? "    

Imperial Tutor Zhao reacted. Even though Prime Minister Lee did not say it clearly, he understood.    

Therefore, he took this opportunity to shout at the top of his lungs.    

He was going to use this last chance to slap Xiao Yun to death.    

However, Xiao Yun slowly took out another piece of paper from his pocket.    

After that, he threw it in front of Imperial Tutor Zhao.    

When the small piece of paper hit Imperial Tutor Zhao's forehead, it actually made a cracking sound.    

Imperial Tutor Zhao naturally could not keep his face down. Just as he wanted to fight Xiao Yun to the death, His Majesty said at the right time, "What did you write?"    

Imperial Tutor Zhao could only glare fiercely at Xiao Yun. Then, he opened the paper and took a closer look. His face was ashen!
