The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui and the others had just arrived in Yunhe County, Hangzhou, when they heard about the witch's feat, they even hung the county master naked on the city wall, and put down cruel words to find the seventh son.

No matter who the Seventh Young Master is, he is naturally Xiao Rui.

As expected of a witch, this way of speaking is also unique and novel enough. Xiao Rui hurriedly asked Li Yuanfang to inquire about her whereabouts. After asking, she found out that the suspension of the county magistrate had already happened three years ago. The local scourge has gone.

At the same time, I also found out that the magistrate of Yunhe County was not a good bird, he was hanged by the witch because he oppressed the people, so the people in Yunhe County applauded secretly.

Since Xiao Rui came, he naturally couldn't let the corrupt officials go, so the group stayed in the county first.

As soon as they settled down, the magistrate of Yunhe County hurried over.

The four of Xiao Rui were able to visit in secret, but they were accompanied by thirty brave guard soldiers. The county town was so big, and their whereabouts were exposed as soon as they entered the city. Naturally, the county magistrate of Yunhe County also knew about it.

"Xiaguan Yun and Wu Mingshan, the magistrate of the county, pay homage to this lord. My eyes are clumsy and I don't know the identity of your lord. Dare to ask where you come from?" The Wu county magistrate asked Xiao Rui to see him. But I still prayed and hoped it wasn't, but to be protected by the soldiers of the Hangzhou Metropolitan Division, it was naturally not a simple person.

A seventh-rank county magistrate is not worthy of Xiao Rui's personal investigation, so he directly took out the token of the supervisory censor, and said: "Bring out your crimes for real, and strive for leniency!"

It would appear arrogant and ignorant for someone else to say this. How could the magistrate of Yunhe County reveal his crimes with just one sentence, are he stupid? Have a silly face? Not two hundred and five.

But Wu Mingshan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Xiao Rui's words.

During this period of time, the officials in Hangzhou are very well-behaved, and they also like to do good deeds. Why?

It's not because His Royal Highness King Xian is inspecting Hangzhou as a censor, who would dare to commit crimes at this moment!

Of course Wu Mingshan didn't dare, but he felt that His Royal Highness King Xian would patronize a place like Yunhe County with such a prominent status!

It's just that I didn't hear it, I was so bad, I actually met it!

After hearing King Xian's words, Wu Mingshan's first thought was not to admit it, he would rather die than admit his crime! But then, he was afraid.

The people in the entire county know what kind of virtue and reputation I have. It is not difficult to investigate clearly, and I can't escape at all!

Instead of refusing to admit it and provoking His Royal Highness's thorough investigation, it is better to admit some insignificant crimes now. In the worst case, you will be demoted or even dismissed, which is better than finding out all the crimes and then convicting him!

Thinking of this, Wu Mingshan said sadly: "The lower officials are convicted. In order to pursue political achievements, the lower officials are harsh to the people in the land they govern, so that the people complain! The lower officials are not strict, which leads to the officials under their control. Shirking the responsibility! That’s why I’m willing to plead guilty and accept the punishment!”

Xiao Rui immediately gave this person a high look, and confessed directly, not because he frightened him, but because he was smart!

The two crimes he pleaded guilty to were extremely light, and at most he was demoted to a remote county. If Xiao Rui were to find out about other crimes, it would not be as simple as being demoted!

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Magistrate Wu can indeed get a lenient punishment if he pleads guilty voluntarily, but are these the only things Mr. Wu committed?"

Wu Mingshan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He realized that King Xian had a big appetite. If he couldn't come up with a way to save himself, he wouldn't let it go this time.

Then what good things can I come up with to satisfy His Royal Highness King Xian and make him hold his hand high?

At this moment, Wu Mingshan thought about everything he could think of, and suddenly had an idea and seized an opportunity!

"My lord, I have a treasure that I want to dedicate to my lord, so that I can make meritorious deeds. I implore my lord to hold your hand high and forgive me." Wu Mingshan said hastily.

Xiao Rui asked: "What baby?"

"Please look, my lord!" Wu Mingshan wrote, pulling out a dagger from his waist, and said respectfully: "My lord, three years ago, there was a lot of silt in the south river of Yunhe County. I found a huge boulder at the bottom, the surface of the boulder is shiny silver, it feels cold to the touch, and it is extremely hard, the official ordered someone to take one of them and forge this dagger, it is not only extremely sharp, but also extremely hard, cutting iron like mud!"

"Oh?" Xiao Rui suddenly became interested, took the dagger, and when he drew the blade, there was indeed a silver light shining, and the whole was bright silver. Xiao Rui touched the blade with his hand, and it really felt cold.

Xiao Rui handed the dagger to Li Yuanfang. After Li Yuanfang took it, he felt that it was slightly heavier, half the weight of refined Bailian steel. Then he swung the dagger and cut off the corner of the wooden table beside him.

Li Yuanfang's eyes brightened, and he said: "My lord, the material of this dagger is very strange. In my opinion, it should not be an ordinary metal, but probably meteorite iron that fell from it."

Wu Mingshan said with a smile: "This friend has a good eye. This is indeed a fallen meteorite. After the official found this huge piece of meteorite, he asked the old people in the county. There is indeed a legend passed down from their ancestors. A long time ago , A mysterious fireball fell to the ground, and it landed outside Yunhe County, and when it fell to the ground, the entire Yunhe County felt like an earthquake."

"Go and get a knife!" Xiao Rui was full of interest. He didn't expect that there would be unexpected joy when he passed through Yunhe County this time.

Li Yuanfang brought a Pu Dao, which was cast by Baisteel. It is a standard weapon made by outstanding craftsmen of the Great Xia Kingdom. Xiao Rui took the dagger and slashed fiercely on the blade of the Pu Dao. His blade was intact, but there was a gap in Pu Dao's blade!

"It's so tough!" Xiao Rui was overjoyed, and quickly handed the dagger to Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia looked at it, he praised: "Young master, this is a rare metal for forging weapons. If we can use it to forge countless weapons, when we confront the enemy, we should occupy the power of the weapons first, which is equivalent to occupying the initiative on the battlefield." "Magistrate Wu, is this piece of meteorite big?"

Wu Mingshan hurriedly said: "It's not big, the biggest one is ten feet long, but there are a lot of them, one by one, scattered around, the lower officials didn't search carefully, so I don't know exactly how many pieces there are. The lower officials judged, If it is used to make weapons, you dare not equip ten thousand men, but two or three thousand men should be more than enough."

"So many?" Guo Jia was overjoyed. She thought it was a piece of meteorite, but she didn't expect it to be so large. He hurriedly said to Xiao Rui, "Your Highness, the Iron Dragon Cavalry is the most elite heavy armor cavalry in the Great Xia Kingdom, but after all Not unique, other countries now have their own best heavy armored cavalry regiments! It is really hard to judge which is stronger and weaker. But if we can use these meteorites to make weapons and armor and equip them with iron dragons, then they Raise the fighting power to a higher level, so that it can surpass the heavy armored cavalry of other countries and become the strongest corps!"

Dian Wei at the side shook his double halberds and said with a smile: "My pair of iron halberds are too bad. If I can make a pair out of meteorite, it will be perfect!"

"That's right!" Li Yuanfang also strongly agreed.

For generals, war horses and weapons and armor are their most loyal partners in their military career, and having reliable weapons is the reliance on killing the enemy and saving their lives, so Dian Wei and Li Yuanfang are very excited.

Xiao Rui naturally knew this truth, so he said to Wu Mingshan: "Take us to see, if yours is true, you deserve a crime and meritorious deed, and I will forgive you lightly this time!"

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I understand!" Wu Mingshan heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that the knife on his neck had finally been let go.

"You should know my identity. Since I promised you, I won't break my promise!" Xiao Rui comforted, "So use your ability to dig out all this meteorite for me! The more the better!"

"Yes, I understand!" Wu Mingshan was immediately full of energy. This time, not only was he able to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, but he also had the opportunity to get acquainted. What a surprise!

Afterwards, Wu Mingshan immediately arranged for people to prepare, and the group wandered out of the county.

When he came to the place where the meteorite was found, Wu Mingshan immediately arranged for people to intercept the river, and then empty the water in the river. It is a river channel, which is actually only more than three meters wide. It is a water channel used for irrigation between the fields, so the cleaning speed is very fast. After clearing the water, the silt was excavated, and soon, the head of a piece of meteorite was exposed.

Wu Mingshan immediately urged everyone to clean up quickly, wishing he could go to battle by himself, after all His Royal Highness King Xian was still waiting here.

After working for a while, the long meteorite was completely exposed.

Xiao Rui asked Li Yuanfang to go down to check. He drew out his saber and slashed at the meteorite, sparks flashed, but the meteorite was not split at all, only a bright silver trace was exposed. On the other hand, Li Yuanfang's sword has some traces of friction on the blade.

His sword is the best among hundred forged steels, but it is still much inferior to Meteorite. This is the difference in material, just like a fool who is eager to learn, but still can't compare with a smart person.

"Your Highness, that's right, this whole piece is made of meteorite!" Li Yuanfang nodded.

Xiao Rui smiled knowingly, and then said to Wu Mingshan: "Magistrate Wu, I will trouble you next time, I need you to send someone to search for the Meteorite, and don't let the big ones go, of course, I won't let you do it for nothing. This king pays, and whoever finds more and bigger meteorites will get more rewards! The cost of the loss of the fertile land trampled around here will be all paid by this king, and the cost of clearing up the excavated river will also be paid by this king! The king can't leave poison to the people of the county because of his own needs!"

Wu Mingshan originally wanted to be courteous and generous, but when he heard Xiao Rui's words, he immediately said righteously: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I understand that I will never affect the people because of the search for meteorite. On the contrary, I will Mobilize the people, let the people actively search for them, and let them earn extra livelihoods."

Xiao Rui nodded before returning to Yunhe County.

When they arrived in Yunhe County, after discussing with Guo Jia, Xiao Rui immediately arranged for a soldier to ride a fast horse to Hangzhou Mansion to call Shen Wansan and Jinbao, and let them come to Yunhe County again. These meteorites will become Xiao Rui's secret Weapons, so they must be transported back to Hangzhou, where the smelting and forging will start, and weapons and armor will be cast.

After the soldiers left, Xiao Rui couldn't help but praised: "Hangzhou is really my luck. Not only have I got a lot of gold and silver, but now I have also got meteorite iron. Haha, whoever goes out to inspect the state capital will suffer? If I stay in the capital , how can there be these benefits?"

Guo Jia also nodded in agreement, and said: "His Majesty's decision is indeed a wise choice, and now His Majesty has also secretly left the capital, staying in the capital to fight, it is meaningless, because His Majesty can't see it! In addition, Wei Haichuan, the governor of Hangzhou Prefecture, has been escorted to the capital. I believe that Xiao Yiheng has started to attack Sui Guogong. It's a meaningless fight!"

Xiao Rui nodded. He left the capital for more than a month. Not only did he gain Ling Wei, he also won Zhang Hao, the Hangzhou commander, and he also got a lot of funds and meteorite.

Think about it, it's really fragrant!

"By the way, Fengxiao, where are you and my father going for a private visit?" Xiao Rui came up with an idea and asked, "Would you like to go south as well?"

"This..." Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty's decision cannot be guessed, but let Your Highness make the choice. If you know that your son is going south to inspect the state capital, will you also follow to see the results? And the fifth prince Xiao Yuan was relegated to Fuzhou as governor, and it happened to let him go south to have a look."

"Yeah, why did I forget about King Ming? If you go further south, you will reach the border of Fuzhou, not far from central Fujian, and you will be in his territory soon." Xiao Rui nodded.

"Hurry up and notify Wu Mingshan, and speed up the search. We won't go to Fuzhou if we get the Meteorite, and go west immediately. I don't want to see my father." Xiao Rui immediately set the tone.

Guo Jia nodded, and immediately went to inform Wu Mingshan.

In the next few days, Yunhe County was very lively, and the people all rushed out of the county to look for the meteorite.

This is also rooted in Wu Mingshan's announcement. Whoever finds the meteorite will be rewarded. Originally, the common people did not believe it. Whoever is the county magistrate of Wu, his words can be true, but after listening, he is from the capital. The announcement issued by the officials, and when the common people found a meteorite iron the size of an iron pot and handed it over to the county government, they got two taels of silver!

In an instant, this caused an upsurge in searching for meteorites.

In just five days, the courtyard behind the county government office was filled with large meteorites, some as long as ten feet, and some as big as fists. Xiao Rui has already spent thousands of taels of silver for these meteorites. Of course, he spent it happily and it was worth it.

As soon as Jin Baobao and Shen Wansan returned to the Hangzhou mansion, they rushed over immediately when they learned of Xiao Rui's summoning.

At this time, in an inn in Yunhe County, a young man with a strong bow on his back held a piece of meteorite in his hand, and gently knocked on the door.
