System, help me be an empress

Chapter 200
Three years later, that is, seven years of God Bless.

At this time, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Daqian, whether it is the country's infrastructure, or the people's basic necessities of life.The "civilization" of a country seems to have undergone a qualitative leap in this short period of three years.

"Your Majesty, you must remember to stay in Shangjing during this time, and you must not go out."

Since the beginning of the year, grand master Jiang Zuo ran to the palace whenever he had nothing to do, and when he saw Xu Youxi, he always expressed the same meaning.

"You have a 'fate robbery' this year, and there is only one way to solve it, that is, stay in Shangjing and not go out."

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I know it well."

This year is Xu Youxi's birth year.

The feudal era attached great importance to the "birth year" and believed that there would be disasters. Naturally, Jiang Zuo was also worried about Xu Youxi's safety, and kept divination for her. As a result, the hexagrams and hexagrams were all "bad omens". .

Jiang Zuo stared at Xu Youxi's face for a long time, and said in a heavy tone, "Your Majesty, you have plans to travel far in the near future."

Xu Youxi stopped writing the memorial, paused, and decided to tell Jiang Zuo the truth: "I have to go to Guangzhou to sign a very important contract in a while, and I will take the train back and forth for at most five days."

"Elder Jiang, don't worry. I set off to Guangdong this time, and the itinerary during the trip was kept secret. In the past, it was only to observe the negotiation of the contract signing, and I would not even meet those people. Even if they wanted to assassinate me, they would not find a chance."

Jiang Zuo suddenly knelt in front of the imperial study room, and began to kowtow heavily: "Your Majesty, no."

This kind of behavior really scared Xu Youxi a little.

She has known Jiang Zuo for 18 years. Except for the routine early morning kneeling, she has hardly seen Jiang Zuo kneeling, let alone kowtow five or six times in succession.

Could it be that she really has something unsolved?
After all, Jiang Lao's hexagrams have never missed.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, why are you bothering?" Xu Youxi helped Grand Master Jiang up, and sighed, "Forget it, I just don't want to go out."

"You have no jokes!"

Jiang Zuo confirmed it again and again.

"Yes, yes, I will replace it with someone else."

After finally persuading Jiang Zuo away from the imperial study, Xu Youxi started to have a headache again who should sign the contract for him.

The content of the contract is that Dagan will provide the technology of 'steam engine' to nine countries including Great Britain within the next three years. Similarly, these nine countries will work together to pay a sky-high price.

Although there is a rule in Dagan that all contracts must be written in "Chinese characters", but this time too many countries are involved, and the other nine countries require that in addition to the Chinese character contract, an additional copy must be signed, and one of the native languages ​​of the other countries must be used. kind of contract.

In order to use the mother tongue of other countries for this contract, Dagan had been negotiating with them for more than a year, and Xu Youxi was indeed a little anxious after the delay.

Shengong Bureau is now able to manufacture internal combustion engines with good performance, and the manufacture of generators has also been put on the agenda early.If this contract continues to be delayed, the age of steam is over, and the money will be in vain.

Under the pressure of making money, Xu Youxi made an exception and agreed to add a copy of 'Great Britain' to the contract.She herself is very familiar with English, even if there is a problem with the contract, she can find it immediately.

The two parties finally settled, and officially signed the contract in Guangzhou on August [-] this year.

As the strength of the country in Dagan is getting stronger and stronger, people in Dagan are somewhat disdainful of learning foreign languages. On the contrary, people from other countries have begun to study Dagan's classical Chinese assiduously.

It's just that they are a bit painful to learn.

Sometimes these foreigners can't help but think, if they can have the strong willpower to learn classical Chinese, then they can dominate the world just around the corner.

"System, can you calculate the probability that something will happen to me when I sign the contract this time?"

[Ding, the system is calculating big data...]

[Probability value 0.25%: The moon will be cloudy and sunny, and people will be blessed. 】

The probability calculated by the system is infinitely close to no risk.

"But Jiang Lao's hexagram doesn't say that."

Xu Youxi said to herself, she had never doubted Jiang Zuo's hexagram, but the contract hadn't been signed yet, and the envoys from the Nine Kingdoms assassinating him would be harmful and useless. Who would do such a loss-making business?
[System Warm Service: Empress System recommends new products for you, do you want to click on it immediately? 】

"Click to open."

[Replacement doll: a mysterious prop, when the host is in danger, the death doll will stand up for you.Price: 9999999 prestige value]

"I don't have that much prestige right now."

Xu Youxi's prestige value has been exchanged for things in the mall, and the remaining usable prestige value is only more than 200 million.

[Host, the surrogate doll is a special prop, and points will not be automatically deducted if it is not in use.You can choose to enable or disable this service.Remarks: There is no upper limit on the use of Death Dolls!If the host dies repeatedly, it may owe a huge debt]

"I've never heard that there are people who can die repeatedly."

With the presence of shadow guards, Xu Youxi did not consider that he would be repeatedly stabbed after being captured by these foreigners.At worst, she temporarily renews thousands of shadow guards in a short period of time, and she doesn't believe that she can't save herself.

"Help me unlock [Replacement Doll]. Next time you have such a good thing, you can tell it in advance."

[Ok, host. 】

[Please read the activation instructions for the dead doll in advance. 】

Xu Youxi read it carefully, and soon discovered several details.

For example, the side effect of [Death Doll], every time the item is successfully used, the user will randomly lose an important memory, and the amount of amnesia depends on the death of the host.

"Can this amnesia be recovered?" Xu Youxi frowned and asked, "What if I forget something very important?"

[The host can open the memory cloud disk, and use the prestige value to restore the memory later.Is the automatic recovery memory mode enabled? 】

"Open."

After getting the [Replacement Doll], Xu Youxi immediately felt much more at ease, and didn't consider switching to other people to participate in the contract.

With a prestige value of 900 million, under normal circumstances, it would take a month or two to save enough.It's only July, and before the Mid-Autumn Festival, her points are enough for the system to deduct.

After solving the serious problem in her heart, Xu Youxi planned to keep this matter a secret, and she would just bring the shadow guards there, Jin Yiwei had to keep it a secret, otherwise Mr. Yu would not have to run to her every day.

Under normal circumstances, during the mid-autumn festival, she didn't have to go to court early, and she didn't have to worry about Xu Xiaoxiao revealing her secrets.

……

time flies.

On the night of August [-]th, the moonlight was bright.

Xu Youxi planned to take advantage of the night to leave the capital quietly, but before he left the city, he met Jiang Zuo who was standing at the gate of the city, waiting for a long time.

"...What a coincidence, Mr. Jiang."

Xu Youxi smiled awkwardly.

This is not fortune-telling at all!

It's clear that God has cheated on him, okay!

Jiang Zuo's face was expressionless, and the last thousand words turned into a sigh: "Your Majesty has made a decision, and I shouldn't stop it, but please take this thing with you."

Xu Youxi took the cloth bag and opened it to find that it contained a string of necklaces made of pure black flat stones. The texture of the stones felt a bit like black stones.

"Is this an amulet?"

"No."

Xu Youxi turned the stone over curiously, and finally saw a series of vaguely small words on the back of the stone: "Thank you, I will wear it well."

Seeing Xu Youxi put the necklace on, Jiang Zuo finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty will return safely."

"Ok."

Xu Youxi was thinking about Jiang Zuo's entrustment, even though the black stone was a little conspicuous, she did not take it off.

When she arrived in Guangzhou by train, she just observed the negotiation process with extra caution, did not show up during the whole process, did not go to public places, and just after the contract was signed, there was no delay for a moment, and she rushed back to Beijing on the train.

Everything went too smoothly, and there was not even a problem with the content of the contract. She read it over and over a dozen times, but couldn't find any loopholes.

Xu Youxi didn't know whether this situation was due to the black stone that Mr. Jiang gave her, or it was due to the fact that the "death calamity" in her natal year did not arrive at the time.

After transferring trains at Jiangnan Railway Station, Xu Youxi finally boarded the train back to Beijing. He felt that what he had seen and heard along the way was like a dream, and it was difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

Xu Youxi sat in front of the train window, feeling sleepy, so she fell asleep on her stomach for a while, and the shadow guard sat next to her, who would be responsible for safety issues.

When the train arrived at the passing station, Xu Youxi was awakened by a fierce quarrel in the carriage.

"The train can't go on, it's going to explode!"

"I am the captain of this train. I have driven this train countless times. No one knows this train better than me!"

Xu Youxi stood up from the chair, as if wanting to see clearly what happened, only to see a tattered white-haired old man who looked like a beggar, saying the same thing to everyone heart-piercingly .

Soon, the security guards on the train rushed over to take the old man away, and the flight attendants kept apologizing, saying that the old man was a madman, and no one knew how he escaped to the train.

"What the old man said just now can't be true, right? I feel goosebumps all over my body now, the stop ahead is almost here, should we get off the bus early?"

"It's just a sensationalist. This kind of thing is very common. It has been reported in the newspapers. I used to take the train, and I would encounter this kind of weird thing calling the train to explode. It's no problem."

"Really?"

"Don't worry, if the train is really about to explode, the first person to find out will definitely be the captain, not a beggar. There will be an abnormality in the pressure valve in the control room. At this time, the train will sound an alarm and start an automatic emergency stop to ensure enough time for passengers. Time to escape."

"Didn't you read Jiangnan newspapers? The average age of the train captains is around 30 years old. They don't look like the old man in his 70s or [-]s just now. He must be out of his mind and making up things."

Most of the passengers on the train were clear-headed, and only a few people were very upset and began to clamor for the train to stop and they had to get off early.

The cry of the embarrassed old man who was dragged away can still be heard.

"The train will blow up. The safety valve is blocked by foreign objects. When the water level in the middle boils dry, the boiler will explode."

This old man actually knew something about trains, Xu Youxi felt that something was wrong.

However, in the process of making trains, Shengong Bureau paid the most attention to safety issues, and she had confidence in Shengong Bureau.

The train attendants are still patiently explaining to those passengers who are being influenced by the old man and are unreasonably asking for the train to stop. There is a lot of quarrels on the train, and more and more passengers are panicking.

Xu Youxi soon realized that this was not going to work.Even if the train itself is fine, these emotional passengers can cause riots.

"The flight attendant."

Xu Youxi got up from his seat, ready to walk towards the door.

"Girl, don't go there. There is something wrong with the train. The siren on the train must have sounded first. Fights are about to start at the door. You may be accidentally injured in the past."

Passengers sitting behind her offered to dissuade her because they feared for her safety.

"I know, thanks for the reminder."

Xu Youxi has been in a high position for many years, and he has an indescribable aura all over his body, which makes people subconsciously feel convinced.

The flight attendant is already very tired in order to deal with these arguing passengers. No matter what she says, the passengers blocking the door are unwilling to listen.

"Stop arguing."

Xu Youxi was no stranger to quarrels. To be honest, the arguing posture of hundreds of officials in the court was even worse than that of these passengers.

The flight attendants didn't seem to have expected that a young girl would have such a sense of oppression when speaking, and even this group of unreasonable passengers would feel timid.

The flight attendant breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of this gap to say loudly: "There is absolutely no problem with the safety of our train. Even if there is a problem with the pressure valve, the train will sound the alarm immediately, and then the train will stop and the door will open! The train invented It has been more than three years now, and there has never been a single casualty incident, I stayed in the car like you, am I not afraid of death!"

"Give us a little more trust, please! The safety of the train is worthy of everyone's trust. If that beggar knows that the train is dangerous, why does he still get on the train? Isn't he afraid of death!"

The flight attendant's heart-to-heart speech finally worked, and the noisy passengers gradually subsided.

That's right, why should they believe the words of a shabby beggar?
After all, the beggars got on the train by themselves!

Seeing that no one continued to quarrel, the flight attendant looked at Xu Youxi gratefully: "Thank you, lady, if you hadn't come to help us, we probably wouldn't be able to handle this matter for a long time."

"We are really lucky to meet a rational passenger like you on the train."

"Thank you for coming forward!"

"..."

However, it wasn't that Xu Youxi who came to help was guilty.

Hearing the steward's sincere gratitude, Xu Youxi said awkwardly: "Actually, I don't really trust the safety of this train. I want to check all the safety monitors on the train."

　This train is an invention of the Shengong Bureau. Naturally, it has a little private design, which is somewhat unreasonable, ignored, and just needed by the plot.
