However, he said that Xiqi Boyi was examined, this person was talented and intelligent, and he had a good reputation, even in the court song, he had heard of it, and at the banquet, he was even more witty, which caused many Yin Shang courtiers to sigh, saying that Xibohou gave birth to a good son.

On the throne, Di Xin held the wine bottle in his hand, looking at the scene below, with a little coldness in his eyes.

"Today, all the gentlemen are here, and there are a few sages in the lonely Zhaoxian Hall, are you willing to see the lonely?"

"The king has an order, how dare the ministers shirk it?" Shang Rong said, and the others also nodded.

So the palace man led the two of them in.

The ministers looked at the two of them, and saw one of them with his hands over his knees, full of calluses, and his face was old, like an old peasant, and his face was even more worried.

The other, dressed in a white robe with marks of dirt under his feet, was a young man.

"The grass folk come to see the king. ”

"Grass people Huiren pay a visit to the king. ”

"Are you a slave?" Before Di Xin could speak, a minister stepped forward and pointed at Nong and asked.

Nong subconsciously covered his face, and finally remembered that this was the palace, so he could only nod helplessly.

"Really slaves. "There's a lot of talk.

"How can a slave be qualified to come here?" someone bowed his head and scolded.

"Hmph, lowly man!" someone straightened his sleeves and prepared to leave the place.

"Enough!"

On the throne, Di Xin's voice came coldly, and many ministers suddenly sensed a chill, but when they recalled it carefully, it seemed that nothing had happened.

"Shang Rong, what are you doing in front of Lone?" Before they could think about it, Di Xin had already shouted at the minister who had stood up so before.

"The king of enlightenment, slaves are not allowed to sit at the same table with nobles, the king is the lord of the world, and he should also set an example, so as not to distinguish between dignity and inferiority, and the society is unstable. Shang Rong was not afraid of Di Xin at all, but accused Di Xin.

Di Xin's gaze swept over the ministers, and many of them nodded subconsciously, feeling that what Shang Rong said was reasonable.

They are noble nobles, born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and the commoners are counted, so what qualifications do these lowly slaves have to sit at the same table with them? This is simply an insult to them!

For the inexplicable pride in the hearts of these people, Di Xin only felt ridiculous.

Bo Yi Kao lowered his head, as if he hadn't seen this scene, he had known about the recruitment hall established by Di Xin for a long time, but he had always been curious about whether it had any effect, and the battle against Yizhou could have been effective, but Su Hu was impotent, and these people did not show their ability.

It's just that Bo Yi Kao didn't expect that there would be such a big contradiction between Di Xin and his courtiers, so can Xiqi profit in the process?

"King Qiyu, Weichen thinks that in the future, the Zhaoxian Pavilion will not let slaves join, slaves are slaves, even if they get the soul, they are only slaves, and they can't play the role of the soul at all. A minister from an aristocratic background stepped forward and said.

"Shut up!" Di Xin's gaze seemed to turn into a knife to pierce the man.

Shang Rong knew that he couldn't stimulate Di Xin anymore, according to Di Xin's temperament, he had to take a step back at this time, anyway, Di Xin said that the slave was a sage, let's see what ability he had first, and his mouth grew on them, and when the time came, he wouldn't believe it and couldn't find a flaw.

There is not much hatred between them and Nong, but they want to maintain their position, and they will not hesitate to fight against any existence that may threaten their status!

"Since Your Majesty said that this person is a sage, why don't you let this person show this person's ability, and let the ministers know what the sage in Your Majesty's heart looks like?"

Shang Rong chose to take a step back, and at the same time made Di Xin unable to advance or retreat, if he didn't agree, wouldn't it be a weak heart? And even if he agreed, the other ministers could find fault and find the loopholes.

Di Xin naturally saw Shang Rong's intentions, his face showed anger, but there was a little smile in his heart, if he hadn't been sure a long time ago, he really thought that Shang Rong was a spy buried by himself.

"Nong, do you hear that, show your abilities to Gu and the ministers, and if you can, Gu will personally give you a surname!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nong knelt down excitedly and saluted.

Slaves do not have surnames, and only those who are superior are qualified to give surnames to those who are lower, just like the surname "Ying" of Ying Zheng was given to his ancestors by Emperor Shun in the past.

In addition, if a slave had a surname, he could leave the status of a slave and become a commoner, while if a nobleman and commoner became a slave, they would also be deprived of their surname unless they were ransomed.

Nong calmed down his excitement and made up his mind to satisfy Di Xin and them.

Soon, the wood that Nong asked for was delivered, and the ministers waited for Nong's performance.

I saw three pale golden oracle bones suddenly appear on Nong's head.

Mechanic.

Shang Rong suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, the classification of the soul had already spread, from the general white to the gem color that had never appeared, gold, it was already medium.

"No, maybe it's the souls of those who don't have much use. Shang Rong thought silently in his heart, but he was still a little worried.

The others didn't know what was going on and were still waiting to see the excitement.

I saw that under the golden light, the transported wood floated automatically, and then the sawdust fell, and small and strange parts began to appear, and many people saw this strange scene.

Di Xin smiled proudly in his heart, this [Mechanic] is actually a makeover [Gongshen], but most of the data in it has been deleted by him, leaving only some simple mechanical tools, but it looks simple in Di Xin, but in this era, it is also a miracle.

In half an hour, Nong put together many well-made parts to form a waterwheel.

Di Xin pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What is the use of this thing?"

Nong explained: "King Qiqi, this thing is called a waterwheel, and if you fix this thing with the stone mill, you can use water to push the stone mill without the need for animal manpower. ”

Some ministers did not believe it, and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Hmph! This thing has just been made, and I don't know what the use it is.

Nong trembled, and hurriedly said, "King, what the villain said is true!"

Fei Zhong stepped forward and proposed, "King, why don't you let someone try it?"

Di Xin said lightly: "Yes." ”

In order to test whether the waterwheel has any effect, everyone came to the river together, and the stone mill was also pulled, Nong stepped forward to operate, and soon the waterwheel began to rotate, and the stone mill driven by the waterwheel also began to rotate continuously, and on the side, there were also oxen pushing the stone mill.

The people of the palace poured the prepared wheat into the stone mill, sifted the wheat husk away, and soon, the flour was delivered to everyone.

Glancing at the results of the two ways, Di Xin smiled lightly and looked at those ministers, and sure enough, many people's faces were not quite right.

"Nong, from today you are not a slave, Lone gives you a surname, mercury, Lone wants you to make the waterwheel public, spread throughout the Great Merchant. ”

"Thank you for your grace, Nong, Mercury Nong are grateful!" Mercury Nong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his head was broken, which showed the excitement in his heart.

At this moment, a golden object suddenly fell from the sky.
