Chapter 922 Coming
Seeing Boudica say this, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Don't say that, you've already done very well!"
Seeing that they were exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "You are both outstanding women..."
Then, Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Boudica, are all the things I said correct?"
Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, of course there's no problem. Besides, according to you, the raw materials imported from the port of Lingas City are already ready for production..."
Xiao Ce nodded: "Alright, is production underway at Wolong Manor yet?"
Boudica nodded: "Yes, everything is going very smoothly... Conservatively speaking, within a month, we can expand the force with these weapons to three thousand people... Of course, these three thousand people are composed of Morgana, Frank, and my mother Brian's former loyalists. I didn't expect this loyalist force to have ten thousand people."
"Of course, I still need to continue evaluating these individuals..."
Xiao Ce nodded to Boudica: "Very good, there's one more thing I need you to do..."
Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, just give me your orders, whatever you need me to do..."
After hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce smiled slightly and then said, "That is to take control of the country as soon as possible, and then gather the top manufacturing experts in various industries."
Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, what's wrong with you...?"
Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "I need you to build the weapons workshop as quickly as possible."
Boudica nodded, then seemed somewhat surprised by Xiao Ce's decision.
“Ce, didn’t you say that we can’t start building these workshops before we have absolute control? If we start expanding now…”
Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "That's right, the problem now is, we think these weapons are very advanced..."
Boudica nodded, then said to Xiao Ce, "Indeed... it's a crushing victory, a clear lead. The reason I was able to control this situation... is entirely due to the overwhelming effect of these weapons. If everyone had such weapons, I certainly wouldn't have been able to become king so easily..."
"But if we loosen restrictions now, it might be fine if we control it well, but if we don't, it will be the beginning of chaos..."
Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, then said, "Of course I know! Do you think there are any nobles in Britain that are worth cooperating with?"
Boudica nodded: "Of course, there are. For example, those families who suffered retaliation for helping our mother, I'm now prepared to support them..."
Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right. What do you think is the purpose of the appearance of weapons? Is it for killing people?"
When Boudica heard Xiao Ce say this, she shook her head very firmly and then said, "Of course not. It's not about killing people. Ultimately, it's about profit."
Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That's right. You should unite your British Empire's interest groups, then issue a decree, first banning guns. After that, the law must severely punish those who manufacture or carry guns."
Boudica looked incredulous after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "Banning guns? That's impossible."
Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Guards, the army, and the police can have firearms, but there must be strict regulations. Private individuals are not allowed to own firearms! Also, if someone is injured by a firearm, the punishment should be severe, even the death penalty! The private guards of dukes and earls should be abolished."
As he spoke, Xiao Ce took out a small booklet and handed it to Boudica: "Actually, Xiao Kingdom has already implemented it. This is the detailed rule, and it's been very successful. You just need to follow it. In fact, as long as the dukes support it, that's enough..."
"Actually, everyone here is a smart person. They all know this is highly advantageous to them..."
Boudica began to read it carefully.
At this moment, Morgana said to Boudica, "Boudica, we've already implemented it in Lingas City, and the results are good... Actually, Lingas City has always had a gun ban..."
Boudica nodded, then examined it very carefully.
After examining it for a while, Boudica looked at Xiao Ce with a firm gaze and said, "Ce, I think it's feasible."
Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Oh? You think it's okay now?"
Boudica chuckled and said, "That's right. After going through so much, I've realized that these people are all spineless. If you try to reason with them, they'll just stubbornly stick to their ways. You have to use force to suppress them, and then give them a little kindness, and they'll be completely obedient..."
Upon hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Haha, it's pretty much the same as training a dog."
"Of course, there are drawbacks, namely that these people are prone to rebellion. However, if you keep all military power in your hands, that will solve the problem. You're right, now is the perfect time to shut the door and properly discipline the dogs. You can train those disobedient dogs. Moreover, you can let them gain benefits from this matter, and they will firmly support you..."
Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "You mean after establishing a military factory, you give the most powerful, influential, and influential people the opportunity to invest... and then give them a share of the profits... Although binding them with emotions is the best, binding them with interests might be a more solid foundation..."
After hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right... you've grasped it..."
Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "By the way, Ce, I still need some time..."
Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "It doesn't conflict. You build the workshop first, then recruit those expert masters. Actually, we might not be able to make those lathes right now. The most important thing is those blueprints... You two can go together..."
Boudica nodded: "Alright, Tse, I'll be going now. Do I need to wait for the Lannisters?"
Seeing Boudica's anxious expression, Xiao Ce said, "You don't need to be in such a hurry."
Boudica smiled at Xiao Ce, then said, "Actually, there's no need to rush... Right now, I need time..."
"Actually, this period is golden time... I've thought about banning guns before, but I still had some concerns. However, after hearing what you said, I have no more concerns. I think this is feasible..."
Upon hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly and said, "Alright, then I won't try to stop you!"
Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, your plans have suddenly changed so much. Did you find out something?"
Xiao Ce nodded to Boudica and then said, "That's right, that's indeed the case..."
He noticed a hint of doubt in Boudica's eyes.
"In the darkness lurks an unknown enemy... I don't know who this enemy is, but what I do know is that it might be the nightmare of everyone on our side..."
Boudica smiled as she looked at Xiao Ce, but then her expression turned somewhat awkward.
"I don't quite understand either, but don't worry... I'll definitely manage this place well..."
Xiao Ce nodded: "It would be best to gather some experts to improve and advance these weapons... These weapons seem powerful, but they seem to be useless against this mad Taoist, right?"
Boudica heard Xiao Ce mention the mad Taoist priest, and subconsciously glanced behind her at the mad Taoist priest before saying, "Isn't he human?"
Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "That's right, he was manufactured. If he could be mass-produced like a weapon, what do you think...?"
Before Xiao Ce could finish speaking, Boudica's face turned extremely embarrassed, and she said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, that's our nightmare... Could it be..."
Xiao Ce said, "I don't think it's gotten to that point yet, but we need to be prepared. If it really does come to that, we shouldn't resist anymore, because resistance will be useless... So, no matter what, we should resist as much as we can while we still have the chance... Of course, I hope that day never comes..."
Boudica nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
"Well then, I'll be going now..."
Seeing Boudica's haste, Xiao Ce said, "Although we're pressed for time, one more day won't make a difference. Since you're already here, let's have a meal before you leave... because we don't know when we'll see each other again..."
Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Boudica's eyes immediately filled with panic: "Ce, are you leaving?"
Xiao Ce looked at Boudica's expression, then waved his hand: "Of course not, what I meant was, life is unpredictable, isn't it? Since we're together now, let's have a meal together..."
Boudica nodded upon seeing Xiao Ce's words: "Alright! I'll do as you say..."
When Yin Pan'er saw that Boudica had agreed, she smiled and said, "Since you're here, you should stay for the night before you leave."
As she spoke, Yin Pan'er exchanged a glance with Boudica, whose face flushed instantly. Just as she was about to wave her hand, Yin Pan'er pulled Boudica aside and said, "Just do me a favor..."
As she spoke, Yin Pan'er whispered a few words in Boudica's ear, and Boudica's face turned even redder.
As she spoke, Yin Pan'er gave Xiao Ce a few coquettish glances.
Xiao Ce naturally guessed what they were talking about, and he chuckled.
Indeed, he has been relatively free these days.
As the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you think about lust.
He certainly kept Yin Pan'er busy...
Each time, Xiao Ce would only give up after she begged for mercy several times...
As Yin Pan'er said this, she turned to Boudica and said, "Good sister, please consider this a favor to me!"
Boudica blushed and nodded in agreement.
...
Meanwhile, in a Western-style building on the other side, Gandhi returned home unusually early.
His master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, usually didn't do anything; he just sat there like an idiot.
Moreover, at such a high noon, with the sun exceptionally scorching, his master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, was simply sitting there.
Upon seeing Gandhi return, the master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, suddenly spoke to Gandhi, saying, "Gandhi, is there any news?"
Upon hearing his master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, say this, Gandhi quickly nodded, "Master, you are truly a diviner..."
The master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, slowly said to Gandhi, "Do you know what message I'm asking you?"
Gandhi nodded quickly: "Of course I know, isn't he the person in the portrait you gave me?"
The master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, nodded: "Any news?"
Gandhi nodded: "That's right, he came to our city of Lingas today!"
Upon hearing Gandhi's words, the master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, brightened up and asked, "You've come to our city of Lingas? Are you sure?"
After hearing his master's words, who was dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, Gandhi nodded: "Of course I'm sure. The person you're talking about came with the newly enthroned Queen of the British Empire, Targaryen Boudica. Originally, the person in that portrait was completely covered up, but ever since Frank and his group were attacked last time, everyone entering Lingas City must show their face. No one has any special privileges."
"So, they took off their masks! My men saw this and came to report immediately..."
After listening to Gandhi's words, the master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, continued, "Gandhi, with this change, why didn't you tell me? Wouldn't I be unable to leave?"
After hearing his master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a conical hat, speak, Gandhi smiled and said, "Master, you don't go out much either. The farthest you ever go each day is this courtyard..."
Then, Gandhi said to his master, who was dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, "However, since we've brought this up, Master, it's fine if you don't go out. But if you do go out, try not to wear a mask. At least take off your straw hat, otherwise you'll definitely be stopped by the patrols, and that will cause unnecessary trouble..."
The master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, glanced at Gandhi a few times, then said to him, "The way you look at me, it seems you'd rather see me..."
When Gandhi heard his master, who was dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, say this, he did not deny it and said, "That's right, Master, I am indeed curious about what you look like?"
The master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, said without any emotion, "There will be an opportunity!"
Then, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "By the way, where is the person in that portrait now?"
The master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, said to Gandhi, "It's at Morgana's residence! Morgana must have sought help from Targaryen Boudica!"
After hearing this, the master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, stood up without saying a word.
Seeing this, Gandhi asked, "Master, where are you going? Are you trying to go out...?"
