Chapter 428 Tianxuan: Everyone, you are all talented!

"hehe."

Tianxuan's words were filled with endless enthusiasm, as if he wanted to stretch out his hands and embrace this beautiful land, showing his heroic demeanor. The seven-foot-tall and heroic man gave others a sense of palpitation, as if he was an invincible demon god standing proudly between heaven and earth.

In an instant, the place was completely silent, with not a sound left, and filled with an lingering solemnity.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a scornful laugh, filled with endless mockery.

Hearing the voice, Tianxuan subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from. What caught his eyes was the charming face of the Snow Girl. The Snow Girl, who was famous for her coldness, had a look of contempt on her face, as if everything Tianxuan said was a huge joke.

"Snow Girl, what's so funny about what I said?"

"Isn't it ridiculous enough?" The Snow Girl stood tall and looked at Tianxuan with a teasing look, "Tianxuanzi, I think you have been high and mighty for too long. I don't deny that the unification of the world and the end of hundreds of years of war are indeed a good thing. However, the common people have not lived a peaceful and happy life because of this."

"How many civilians were mobilized to build the Imperial Mausoleum at Mount Li and the Great Wall? How many people were mobilized to build the highway that runs through the empire? Also, I heard that you are building a canal in your base camp, the Western Regions. All these things have made it difficult for the people to have peace. The people are either doing corvee labor or on their way to do corvee labor!"

"As long as you lower your head, you can see what kind of life the people are living under the rule of your father and son's empire."

"I don't deny that the empire is in a state of disrepair and corvée labor is indeed a bit more." Tian Xuan heard what Xue Nu said and said calmly, "However, any family, as long as someone performs corvée labor, can be exempted from taxes and corvée labor during the period of time that the family members perform corvée labor. Moreover, with the invention of cement, the amount of work on these projects that are vital to the empire has been reduced a lot."

At this point, Tianxuan's eyes emitted a clear rainbow light as he looked at Duanmu Rong, Master Ban, and Master Xu in the crowd.

"Master Ban, Master Xu, and Miss Duanmu. The Mohist School is doomed. As long as you are willing to join the Empire and contribute your talents to the Empire, the lives of the common people will be much better. Just now, you all saw the evidence that Yan Dan killed the former leader of the Mohist School, the Six-Fingered Black Knight."

"Rather than continue to serve this corrupted Mohist school, it is better to join the empire and use your own abilities to truly benefit the people."

"Miss Duanmu, you are an expert in medicine. As long as you nod, I can open a medical teaching area for you in the Jixia Academy before I rush to Linzi, so that you can train a group of disciples with superb medical skills, let them travel around the world, practice medicine, and save the people. This will make your medical skills worthwhile!"

At this point, Tianxuan cast a playful look at Duanmu Rong, whose pretty face showed signs of struggle.

"Miss Duanmu, your three "no-savings" were for Gai Nie. But you still saved Gai Nie, proving that although you hate Gai Nie because of Jing Ke's death, you are kind-hearted at heart. In my opinion, you might as well change the three "no-savings" to "no saving the most treacherous and evil, no saving those who do evil, no saving those who are disloyal and unrighteous, etc."

"We will not save the most treacherous and evil people, we will not save those who have committed crimes, and we will not save those who are disloyal and unrighteous?"

Of course, this was just Tianxuan's casual words, but when Duanmu Rong heard it, the Mirror Lake Medical Immortal showed some interest and murmured, "Master Ban, you are the successor of the Mohist non-attack mechanism technique."

After shaking Duanmu Rong's mind with words, Tianxuan turned his attention to Master Ban.

"I repeat once again, as long as you are willing to serve the empire, I can guarantee that you will not research any weapons, but only develop some tools that can improve people's livelihood." At this point, Tianxuan's eyes flashed with curiosity, "I have seen the mechanical bats of the Gongshu family and the mechanical Suzaku of the Mo family."

"If we combine these two into one and develop a flying machine that can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people, what will that be like?"

Gongshu Chou/Master Ban: "..."

A master of domineering mechanical arts and a master of non-offensive mechanical arts are both here. After hearing what Tianxuan said, the two masters of mechanical arts subconsciously wanted to criticize Tianxuan's wild ideas. As experts in this field, they all knew that whether it was the mechanical bat or the mechanical Suzaku, they were essentially borrowing wind power and could not be considered real flying.

Developing a flying machine that can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people? How is this possible!

However, before they could even start to mock or refuse, the two old men looked thoughtful, and at the same time they had the same thought:
[If we can combine the Tyrannical Mechanical Technique and the Non-Offensive Mechanical Technique into one, it seems like there is some chance? ]

"As for you, Master Xu!" After persuading Duanmu Rong and Master Ban, Tianxuan's gaze fell on the last person among the leaders of the Mohist School who was worthy of recruiting, and he spoke in a rhythmic voice.

"Lord Wushuang," Master Xu knew what Tianxuan wanted to say as soon as he opened his mouth. He smiled bitterly and interrupted Tianxuan, "In my life, I can only do one thing: sharpen knives and forge swords! If I join the empire, I'm afraid I can only be used to develop sophisticated weapons, right?" Although it was a question, it was spoken with certainty.

Tianxuan did not deny it: "Master Xu, although the empire destroyed the six eastern countries, there are still many enemies outside the empire. There is the sea in the east. Zou Yan, a Yin-Yang scholar, once said that there are other nine states overseas. This lord agrees with this from the bottom of his heart. No one knows when the overseas enemies will arrive; there are the Western Qiang in the west, which frequently clashes with the empire; there are the Baiyue in the south, and the Baiyue tribes are not easy to deal with; there are the Xiongnu, Donghu and other grassland wolf tribes in the north. Before this lord returned to the Central Plains, I got the news that the Xiongnu, who were defeated by this lord, did not recover. The Xiongnu Chanyu, Maodun, had a grudge against this lord for killing his father. After recovering his vitality, he may go south at any time!"

"So, if you, a master of weapons, wish to join the Empire, you can only use your skills to develop various weapons, so that the Empire's army will have a better chance of winning when facing enemies from all directions!"

"Ugh!"

Although Master Xu was good at forging weapons, he really didn't want the weapons he forged and developed to become weapons that killed people. However, he knew in his heart that weapons were created for killing. Facing Tianxuan's ruthless words, he could only sigh.

"Master Xu, there is no need to sigh." Tian Xuan caught the melancholy between Master Xu's brows and added, "From the moment weapons were born, they were used for killing. The only difference is whether you kill for the sake of killing or for the sake of protecting!"

"The seven kingdoms will be united, and the world will be unified!" Tianxuan's tone was excited again, "If you help the empire develop and forge weapons, these weapons will be used to protect and kill!"
