Chapter 1885 The Court Is as Noisy as a Vegetable Market
In this world, there is nothing that cannot be reproduced as long as you have enough financial, material and time resources.
Perhaps if you want to recreate ancient civilization, you need to walk a hopelessly long road before you can reach it.
But if you want to recreate the power of artillery, you don't need to work so hard.
The only difficulty is how to replicate those precise components.
Since the current technology cannot reach that level, we must find ways to improve the level of technology and improve casting accuracy.
The artillery components are fixed, they are there, but people are alive, and technology is also alive, and they can all be improved without time.
It's just that this process may be a bit difficult.
After listening to my explanation, there was not harsh but very noisy discussion in the hall.
The ministers were in groups of three and five, constantly exchanging their opinions.
In the main hall, the only four people, the Beastman King, the old Duke, Prime Minister Lesta and me, did not communicate with anyone.
In fact, there is no need to communicate. After the discussion, you only need to ask the ministers what they mean and choose the most suitable one.
After a few minutes, the noisy hall became calm again.
The Beastman King sat firmly on the throne with a calm expression and said, "Have you finished the discussion? Tell us your thoughts over there."
A minister was the first to come out of the queue and bowed: "Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that what Prime Minister An Xiaoyi wants to do is conducive to enhancing the national strength of our Dasai City and promoting our Dasai City's science and technology. It can be regarded as a good strategy for the benefit of the country."
As soon as this statement came out, five ministers immediately came out to express their agreement with the minister's idea.
At the same time, voices opposing my opinion also sounded: "Your Majesty, I object to Prime Minister An Xiaoyi's proposal. Artillery is not the foundation of our strong nation in Dasai City. It is just an accessory. It consumes materials and money. There is no exact development time yet, it’s just an expensive mirror image!”
As soon as the objection came out, seven or eight ministers who agreed with his point of view immediately appeared.
Afterwards, words of approval and opposition flew around the hall. Each minister expressed his own opinion, but no one could convince anyone. Some ministers had been refuted too many times and began to mess around and refute different voices with all kinds of sophistry. , some ministers became so angry that they no longer argued for reasons, but fell into the quagmire of arguing for the sake of arguing.
Looking at the main hall, which was as lively as a vegetable market, and looking at the Orc King's face gradually darkening, I tried not to laugh out loud.
"Quiet!" Prime Minister Lesta shouted in a low voice, like the ultimate move of the Silence Warlock, and the hall fell into silence.
"The discussion is only to determine the feasibility of the artillery plan. Look at yourselves, what have you become!" Prime Minister Lesta said with a dark face: "Is this the image that a minister of the country should have, who is messy and arguing for the sake of argument? ! You should just resign and go back to your hometown one by one, and then become the scolding shrew in the market!"
The ministers were blushing after being reprimanded by Prime Minister Lesta. Some were so ashamed that they lowered their heads unconsciously. Some of them pretended to be ashamed, but in fact their eyes were wandering around. They looked around at the expressions of the ministers around them. Some were still dissatisfied, although their faces were red. He lowered his head, but his fists clenched loudly, and he wished he could raise his arms and punch Prime Minister Lesta.
However, the official rank is overwhelming, and seniority is also there. In the entire hall, except the old Duke, no one is qualified to greet Prime Minister Lesta with fists, including the Orc King.
You can't hit him, you can't retaliate. After all, you were at fault first, so you can't mess around and act like a fool.
Furthermore, with the current atmosphere in the court, especially the Orc King's face as black as coke, as long as those disobedient and dissatisfied ministers dare to say a word, they will no longer have a place in the ruling class of Dashai City, and they will be packed up. It's easy to get out of here. If you are sent to prison, you will regret it.
Don't look at the guards and jailors who usually nodded and bowed when they saw the ministers, smiling and shouting, once they were deprived of their rights and sent to prison, their fate would not be better than other prisoners, but would only be worse.
After Prime Minister Lesta reprimanded him, the Orc King, who was sitting high on the throne, said: "I think all the ministers and ministers have their own opinions on the artillery matter. How about this. After you return home and consider the details, you can make your own plans. A memorial was sent."
With that said, let's break up the meeting.
All the ministers dispersed, and there were only four people left in the hall: the Orc King, the old Duke, Prime Minister Lesta and me.
The orc king let out a long sigh, and suddenly slapped the armrest of the throne hard. There was a click, and the armrest was broken by him.
When Prime Minister Lesta saw this, he was not surprised at all. He called the waiter and put on a spare throne. I was dumbfounded by this scene.
Seeing my funny expression, the old Duke laughed and said: "You'll get used to it in the future. Our Majesty is good at everything, but his temper is too hot. He needs to change his throne from time to time."
The Beastman King was a little embarrassed, coughed slightly, turned to me and said, "Is this your first time attending a court meeting?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"That really made you laugh," the Beastman King said with a bitter smile.
"The ministers' ability to express their own opinions and express what is on their minds is enough to prove that His Majesty has a broad mind and a wise decision."
"Stop flattering me." The Beastman King waved his hand and said, "I know that my ability as an emperor is limited. If I don't have any ambition, I am afraid that the Fergus family will be the first royal family to withdraw from the stage of history."
"This is not flattery." I shook my head and said, "Since ancient times, there have been countless arbitrary kings like crucian carp crossing the river. However, there are only a handful of kings who are not happy with the same opinions, not annoyed by different opinions, open up their opinions, and are good at accepting advice. , Therefore, for a king, having a broad mind is far more important than having extensive knowledge."
On the side, Prime Minister Lesta echoed: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister An Xiaoyi said is reasonable. You don't need to be too modest."
After comforting the Orc King, Prime Minister Lesta turned to me and said, "Prime Minister An Xiaoyi, I have something unclear, and I would like to ask you for advice."
"But it doesn't matter."
"As far as I know, in the early days of the melee, the goblin clan fled back to Moonlight City under pressure and did not establish any famous dynasty on this land. However, you have repeatedly emphasized that the tomb was the first one in the early stages of the melee. The tomb of a fairy king, I am very puzzled about this, and I hope you can get an answer."
"Historical documents may not necessarily be correct," I said. "Some historical documents have been deliberately modified. For example, the birth of the goblin clan. Most historical documents record that the goblin clan was the first creature created by the God of Creation. race, and after countless generations, their descendants have spawned the other five major races. However, some bards passed down from generation to generation are singing that the elf race is not the first race created by the God of Creation, but the creation of the world. One of the many races created by the God of the World.”
