Chapter 52

But Xiqi Boyi Kao, he is talented and intelligent, and has a good reputation, even in Chaoge, he has heard of it, and at the banquet, he even made witty remarks, which attracted many wealthy officials to sigh, saying that Xibohou gave birth to a good son.

On the throne, Di Xin held a wine bottle and looked at the scene below with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

"Today, all the gentlemen are here, and it happens that Gu's recruiting hall has a few sages, would you like to meet with Gu?"

"Your Majesty has an order, how dare the ministers shirk it?" Shang Rong said, and the others also nodded.

So the palace man led the two of them in.

All the ministers looked at the two of them, only to see one with his hands above his knees, covered with calluses, and his face was old, like an old farmer, with a bit of anxiety on his face.

The other person was wearing a white robe, and there were traces of mud under his feet. He was a young man.

"Cao Minnong pays homage to the king."

"Caomin Huiren pays homage to the king."

"Are you a slave?" Before Di Xin could speak, a minister stepped forward and pointed at Nong.

Lennon subconsciously covered her face, and finally remembered that this is the palace, so she nodded helplessly.

"It's really a slave." Some people talked about it.

"How are slaves qualified to come here?" Someone bowed their heads and cursed.

"Hmph! You lowly person!" Someone stood up with a flick of his sleeves, ready to leave the place.

"enough!"

On the throne, Di Xin's voice came coldly, and many ministers immediately felt a chill, but when they recalled it carefully, it seemed that nothing had happened.

"Shang Rong, what are you doing in front of Gu?" Before they could think about it, Di Xin had already shouted at the minister who had stood up before.

"My Majesty, slaves are not allowed to sit with nobles. Your Majesty is the master of the world, and you should lead by example, so as not to distinguish between superior and inferior, and the society is unstable." Shang Rong was not afraid of Di Xin at all, but instead accused him.

Di Xin's eyes swept over the ministers, many of them nodded subconsciously, thinking that what Shang Rong said was reasonable.

They are noble aristocrats, born with golden spoons in their mouths, even if they are commoners, what qualifications do these lowly slaves have to sit at the same table with them?This is simply an insult to them!
For the inexplicable pride in these people's hearts, Di Xin only found it ridiculous.

Bo Yikao lowered his head, as if he didn't see this scene. He already knew about the recruiting hall established by Di Xin, but he was always curious about whether it would be effective. The crusade against Yizhou would have seen results, but Su Hu was paralyzed. , these people have not shown their ability.

It's just that Bo Yikao didn't expect that there would be such a big conflict between Di Xin and his courtiers, so can Xiqi benefit from this process?
"My lord, I think that in the future recruiting halls will no longer allow slaves to join. A slave is a slave. Even if you get a general's soul, you are just a slave, and you can't play the role of a general's soul at all." A minister from a noble family stepped forward. Said.

"Shut up!" Di Xin's gaze seemed to turn into a knife to pierce this man.

Shang Rong knew that he couldn't provoke Di Xin anymore. According to Di Xin's temperament, he had to take a step back at this time. Anyway, Di Xin said that the slave was a sage. Let's see what abilities he has, and his mouth grows on them. If you don't believe it, you can't find a flaw.

There is not much hatred between them and Lennon, but they want to maintain their status, and they will not hesitate to attack any existence that may threaten their status!

"Since Your Majesty said that this person is a sage, why not let this person show his ability, and let the ministers know what a sage looks like in Your Majesty's heart?"

Shang Rong chose to take a step back, and at the same time made Di Xin unable to advance or retreat. If he did not agree, wouldn't he be guilty?And even if they agree, other ministers can find faults and find loopholes.

Di Xin naturally saw Shang Rong's intentions, and his face showed anger, but a little smile appeared in his heart. If he hadn't made sure of it a long time ago, he really thought Shang Rong was a spy he planted.

"Nong, did you hear that? Show Gu and the ministers your ability. If possible, Gu will give you a surname!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nong knelt down and saluted excitedly.

Slaves do not have surnames, and only superiors are eligible to bestow surnames on inferiors, just like Ying Zheng's "Ying" surname was given to his ancestors by Emperor Shun in the past.

In addition, if a slave has a surname, he can leave his status as a slave and become a commoner, and if nobles and commoners become slaves, they will also be deprived of their surname unless they are redeemed.

Nong calmed down his excitement, and made up his mind to satisfy Di Xin and the others.

Soon, the wood that Nong wanted was delivered, and all the ministers were waiting for Nong's performance.

I saw three light golden oracle bone inscriptions suddenly appear on Nong's head.

Institutional division.

Shang Rong suddenly felt a little uneasy. The grading of general souls has already been spread, from the common white to the never-before-appeared jewel color, golden, which is already considered medium.

"No, maybe it's those useless general souls." Shang Rong thought silently in his heart, but he was still a little worried.

Others don't know the tricks and are still waiting to watch.

I saw that under the shining of the golden light, the transported wood automatically floated up, and then sawdust fell, and small and strange parts began to appear one by one. Many people widened their eyes when they saw this strange scene.

Di Xin smiled triumphantly in his heart. This [Mechanism Master] is actually a modified [God of Work], but most of the data in it has been deleted by him, leaving only some simple mechanical tools, but it looks simple to Di Xin, but put it In this era, it is also a miracle.

In half an hour, Lennon combined many finished parts to form a waterwheel.

Di Xin pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What is the use of this thing?"

Nong explained: "My lord, this thing is called a waterwheel. You can fix this thing with a stone mill, and then use water power to drive the stone mill, without the need for animal power and manpower."

A minister didn't believe it, so he immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Huh! This thing has just been made, and I don't know what it will be used for. It's empty talk, and you want to deceive the king?"

Nong trembled all over, and quickly said: "My lord, what the villain said is true!"

Fei Zhong stepped forward and suggested, "Your Majesty, how about letting someone try it out?"

Di Xin said lightly: "Yes."

In order to test whether the waterwheel works, everyone came to the river together, and the stone mill was also pulled. Nong stepped forward to operate it, and soon the waterwheel began to rotate, and the stonemill driven by the waterwheel also began to rotate continuously. On the side, there are also oxen pushing the stone mill.

Some palace people poured the prepared wheat into the stone mill, sieved the wheat husks, and soon, the ground flour was delivered to everyone.

After glancing at the results of the two methods, Di Xin smiled lightly and looked at those ministers. As expected, many of them had expressions that were not quite right.

"Nong, from today onwards you are no longer a slave. I will give you a surname, Mercury. I only want you to disclose the method of making the waterwheel and spread it throughout Dashang."

"Thank you, King, for your kindness. Nong and Hung Nong are very grateful!" Hung Nong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his head was broken, showing the excitement in his heart.

At this time, a group of golden objects suddenly fell from the sky.
