The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 2381: Fred, Governor of Noki Province

The next day, when the sun climbed high in the sky, troops coming to support came in a mighty force from afar.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your servant Fred."

A man wearing black armor and a feather hat was half-kneeling in front of Qin Yun.

This person is the governor of Noki Province.

Fred said in a panic, "Your Majesty, this flood has occupied the land. I am unable to come to your rescue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Qin Yun looked down at him, his cold gaze carrying a suffocating pressure that almost made Fred breathless.

This is a young lion!

Fred almost subconsciously thought that no one could go against the will of the lion king. If he wanted to kill him, there would be absolutely no room for reversal.

"Fred, during the flood, you seemed to have sent navy to support us, right?" Qin Yun's voice sounded faintly in Fred's ears.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fred nodded quickly and smiled brightly.

Qin Yun nodded and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fred felt as if he had been pardoned, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood in front of Qin Yun with his head lowered.

Qin Yun said: "There will be a revolution here, and you will be busy in the future. The Noki Province may take off because of this revolution. But I'm telling you in advance, if you don't have enough strength to cope with it, let alone take off, you probably won't be able to continue as the governor of this province."

"what?"

A smile first appeared on Fred's face, and then he immediately became extremely scared.

"Your Majesty, may I ask what the change is?" Fred asked cautiously.

This would not be a secret, and if Qin Yun wanted to develop a trade center in the town of Bidex, Fred, as the governor of the Noki Province, must know and cooperate.

Qin Yun said: "I have decided to build the town of Bidex into a central station for merchants to trade between Daxia and Western countries. In the future, there will be tall buildings and stalls here, and countless merchants will come and go to trade here."

"This is the change I'm talking about!"

"what?"

Fred froze again.

But this time he was stunned with joy.

As the governor of the Noki Province, Fred naturally possessed a good vision and political acumen. He soon imagined what kind of prosperity would be brought to the town of Bidex once this central trading point was successfully built!

Even the province of Noki will be promoted to a higher level because of the small town of Bidex, and it will jump from the lowest-ranked province to the richest province in the whole of Persia!

"Your Majesty, is this true?" Fred looked at Qin Yun excitedly, still unable to believe that this was true.

Qin Yun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why? Would I lie to you?"

"No! Of course not!" Fred immediately laughed anxiously, "Sir, don't joke."

He looked as if he was afraid that his question would make Qin Yun change his mind.

Qin Yun was amused and said, "Now you know how heavy your role is, right? Whether you can take on this opportunity of change depends on your performance. If you are not capable enough, I will have no choice but to replace you, and this achievement will become someone else's."

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Fred immediately stood still with a solemn expression, and said to Qin Yun with a solemn oath: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely seize this opportunity and will not make any mistakes to disappoint Your Majesty!"

"Good attitude." Qin Yun nodded, but his ability still needs to be observed.

The town of Bidex has basically been selected as the construction site for the trade center, but how to plan and build it is still under discussion.

Qin Yun called Lu Bai and said, "Have someone pack up. I will leave here tomorrow and embark on the journey back to the Persian Empire."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bai immediately went down with the order.

Qin Yun found Chi Yun on an exposed rock layer on Mount Bidex.

Chi Yun was here guarding his most beloved treasure - the turtle shells from the giant water monster that covered the ground.

After half a month of exposure to the sun and Chi Yun's special secret recipe, the flexible cuticle on the turtle shell has been completely dried, and the bloody smell is gone. And I don't know what method Chi Yun used, but the prismatic turtle shells look very regular and smooth, with a thick black luster, like metal.

Chi Yun saw Qin Yun coming and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, how come you have time to come here?"

In order to let the turtle shell be exposed to the sun, Chi Yun specially chose this place which absorbs the most solar heat. Therefore, the temperature in this place is much hotter than other places. Just standing here makes you sweat.

However, Chi Yun was not affected at all, which led Qin Yun to always feel that Chi Yun's red skin was caused by the strong sunlight.

Qin Yun looked at the shiny black turtle shells all over the ground and nodded, "It seems that you are making good progress."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chi Yun smiled. "The shell of this big turtle is a little harder than I thought. After being made with my special method, the toughness of these turtle shells has become very strong. It is difficult to cut them with ordinary swords."

"Oh?" Qin Yun stretched out a hand towards the Jinyiwei beside him.

The Jinyiwei immediately drew out the straight knife from his waist and handed it to Qin Yun with both hands.

Qin Yun took the straight knife and chopped it directly on the shiny and thick turtle shell. With a clang, the straight knife was bounced away, but the turtle shell was completely unharmed, without even a white mark.

"Really good." Qin Yun showed a happy expression. These tortoise shells will become the armor of his Great Xia Dragon Army. Naturally, the tougher the better. By then, the combat effectiveness of the Great Xia Dragon Army will naturally be stronger.

But Chi Yun looked a little worried: "Although these turtle shells are processed very well, of course I think they are good, after all, they were processed by me personally. But the problem is that if you want to perfectly utilize these turtle shells and make the toughest armor, you need to use a lot of rare materials."

"These materials and methods are recorded in ancient books. It's a shame that someone as knowledgeable as me has never heard of some of them."

Qin Yun couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. Chi Yun's first half of his life was pretty good, but the second half of his life can be described in one word: otaku.

Because of the guilt in his heart, he locked himself at the bottom of the cliff for decades. During these decades, the outside world has changed rapidly.

Complaining aside, Qin Yun understood what Chi Yun meant. This guy just had no money and no materials, so he was planning to ask him for it!
