Chapter 122: If You Become Empress, I Shall Be Emperor

y. These people will all be useful.""First, expand the brick kilns to ten! That way, we can produce at least 50,000 bricks every day!"tall and strong, he was speechless."And the cement kilns have also...Yang Lin and she had chatted several times about women's topics, her unconventional viewpoints and extraordinary vision made Li Y Yao think that Yang Lin was different from others.

Now, seeing Yang Lin's appearance, Li Yuhua only felt unspeakable grievance!

"Women cannot be emperors"

"Of course not!"

Yang Lin shook his head resolutely: "A woman becoming emperor isn't a big deal. As long as she is intelligent, capable, knows how to care for the people, and doesn't exploit them or levy excessive taxes, then whether it's a man or a woman makes no difference."

Li Yuxiang instantly turned from sadness to joy and hurriedly asked, "Do you really think so"

"Of course."

Yang Lin shrugged. "An emperor is just a job, and he doesn't have to fight or expend his energy. As long as a woman is smart, what's the difference"

"Speaking of which, Yang Lin chuckled and said, "My lady cares so much about this matter. Could it be that you also want to be the emperor"

Li Yuxiang's heart tightened, and her face paled.

"Don't worry, there's no one else here."

Yang Lin knew that such outrageous words, in this era, could not be said casually, for they would be beheaded!

If I ever have the chance to seize control of the world, I will make you the emperor!

Yang Lin patted his chest and said boldly.

Li Yuxiang was astonished again.

The emperor's throne, something so many people covet, yet he seems utterly indifferent to it

"Don't you want to be emperor"

Yang Lin shook his head. "No thanks! What's so good about being emperor It's just power, and power is a double-edged sword. It depends on how you use it."

To be a good emperor, one must attend to every detail, manage all affairs of the state, and work tirelessly, like an ox or a horse; if one is a bad ruler, one may be comfortable, but one will harm the people of the world.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a good deal. So what's the point of being emperor when we have so much freedom and leisure now

And...

Yang Lin chuckled wickedly: "The emperor is nothing but three palaces and six courtyards, a bunch of concubines. I've already achieved that."

Yang Lin leaned in front of Li Yuyao, put his arm around her slender waist, and said with a wink: "But if you became the emperor, things would be different."

If you were the emperor, I would be the emperor's woman. By day, you would sit upon the throne, commanding the world; by night, you would enter my chambers and spend the night with me.

"While others would be terrified to see the Emperor, I could hold my Empress wife close, enjoying intimate moments with her, and even sleep beside her...My lady, if you were to become Emperor, then I would become your God!"

Compared to the sleeping female emperor, the temptations of those who served in the past were worlds apart!

"Alright, don't think about it too much. World affairs have nothing to do with us. Let whoever wants to be emperor be emperor. Compared to being emperor, isn't it more comfortable to indulge in pleasure Marrying a female emperor is just something I thought about casually. Even if there really was a female emperor, I wouldn't look at her. A female emperor couldn't compare to our own wife."

Yang Lin said, holding her slender waist and moving his hand down to land on the high point of her hips that even her long skirt couldn't cover.

So soft.

"Ah!"

Li Yuyao was originally listening intently, but the more she listened, the less serious she became. She recalled the scene Yang Lin described, her pretty face flushed even redder. Then she felt Yang Lin's hand touch that place, and her heart skipped a beat involuntarily.

"Rogue!"

Li Yuxiang blushed and hurried away.

As soon as she started running, Li Yuxiang paused.

Only then did she realize that Yang Lin wasn't trying to take advantage of her, but rather discovered that she was too nervous and used this method to divert her attention.

At this moment, he was still thinking of himself, so considerate. Li Yuyao's heart swelled with emotion.

Today, the world has changed. Originally, I still wanted to tell him the truth and ask him to join me in an uprising, to regain our position! But after listening to Yang Lin's words just now...

Li Yuyao only then realized that what he wanted wasn't those things!

If you told him the truth, would he be willing to follow you and rebel

Li Yuxiang's mood was restless.

Let's wait a little longer! We should wait for news from Ziyi and find out what's happening in the south before making a decision!

Yang Lin wasn't idle either. After leaving home, he immediately rushed to the smelting workshop.

"Uncle Shunzi, how's the steelmaking progress going"

As soon as he entered, Yang Lin got straight to the point.

Zhao Shunzi sighed and shook her head.

"Master, there has been some progress. The quality of the wrought iron is better than before, but I still haven't managed to forge the kind of steel you described!"

Zhao Shunzi's face was full of guilt.

He wanted people to give people, and silver to silver. Countless iron ingots and charcoal were sent over, and new furnaces were built at a huge cost!

But after all that hard work, there was still no result. When facing Yang Lin, he couldn't even look up.

"It's nothing, Uncle Shunzi, you don't need to worry. Refining steel isn't easy, there's no rush. I came here because I have something important to discuss."

"Oh What's up" Zhao Shunzi hurriedly asked.

"I need two hundred sets of crossbow accessories this time!" Yang Lin said.

Actually, even if Li Yuming didn't remind him, he would have made preparations in advance.

In fact, he has always been making preparations, just not this urgently.

"Huh Two hundred sets So many!"

Zhao Shunzi was greatly surprised.

Now the crossbows are no longer a secret in the village, and they already know that those being crafted are crossbow parts.

"Well! And it has to be fast, refined as soon as possible!" Yang Lin said solemnly.

But everyone is currently working on the steel refining side. Unless we can temporarily stop steel refining...

Zhao Shunzi hesitated and said.

"Hold the steelmaking for now!"

Yang Lin didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.

He knew the difficulty of steelmaking; there were too many details involved. With only theory at his disposal, it wouldn't be easy to produce steel in this backward industrial era of Great Qin.

Just keep researching like this, ten days and a half month, or even a year or two, there may not necessarily be a result.

In the past, it didn't matter. But now that we know the world has changed, there's no time left for us to develop in obscurity!

"Well, two hundred sets..."

Zhao Shunzi counted on her fingers for a long time before saying, "It will take at least six days to refine it."

"Good!" Yang Lin nodded. "Uncle Shunzi, the quantity this time is large, we must do a good job of keeping it confidential. Every part must be registered and documented, not a single one can be lost!"

Zhao Shunzi quickly nodded.

"Moreover, during the process of crafting these accessories, the foundry will be expanded again to ensure that while producing crossbow parts, it can also forge at least twenty fine iron swords every day! As for how many more people to recruit, Uncle Shun, you decide."

Zhao Shunzi was dumbfounded.

Here it is again, making crossbow parts and forging fine iron knives. What on earth is the master planning

Zhao Shunzi instantly realized that something was amiss...see."Li Yuyao said, then took out flint and started striking it.The fuse was lit quickly, and Li Yuyao was still tilting her head curiously, looking at the bamboo tube on the ground, trying to see wha...
