"Speaking of which, what can you see with your spiritual talent?" Zhen Mi suddenly asked, "What kind of past is it?"
"It's a trace, but what it is, I can't tell you." Wu Yuan said with a smile, "The traces that my spiritual talent can see are not just the traces left over the years, there are also more distant traces.
Traces left by the times.”
If Chen Xi and others heard this, I am afraid they would have guessed what Wu Yuan saw. But since Wu Yuan could tell Yu Zhen Mi, it is clear that Zhen Mi could not guess what his words meant.
.
"There are many secrets in the traces of the past, but the core of these secrets is not to point to the past, but to point to the present." Wu Yuan teased Zhen Mi like a girl.
"I always feel that you want to be my little girl." Zhen Mi looked at Wu Yuan dissatisfied and said.
"Then you can discuss it yourself. I'll suffer a little loss and call you sister, and then you call me little girl. To be honest, I don't mind at all." Wu Yuan's playful look showed obvious pride.
"You guy." Zhen Mi said angrily.
"Okay, no more joking, work hard, you may be able to catch up and unlock your spiritual talent. If not, you can go and meet Cai Cai more often." Wu Yuan said with a smile, "Her piano music is also effective for you.
.”
Zhen Mi felt inexplicably heartbroken when she heard this. She always felt that Wu Yuan was deliberately angry with her.
"Speaking of which, I didn't know before that Chen Hou regarded you as his daughter at first." Wu Yuan looked at Zhen Mi with a smile, and Zhen Mi felt her heart hurt even more.
"Is this the result of you peeking into the past?" Zhen Mi asked angrily.
"It's just the result of combing through the traces of the past." Wu Yuan covered her mouth and snickered, "But what I said is true. The music of Cai's piano can not only open up wisdom to young children, but also help the accumulated experience.
Within a certain limit, it can be effective even for people who need enlightenment."
Zhen Mi was silent. Ever since the poetry meeting the year before last, the relationship between Zhen Mi and Cai Yan had dropped to a freezing point. To put it simply, Zhen Mi once used Cai Yan as her teacher, and she would give Cai Yan something during the holidays every year. Now,
, all the faces are gone.
"Master Cai has Tianhu's cards in his hand, how can you win?" Wu Yuan may also know Zhen Mi's mentality, and said to Zhen Mi with a tone of relief.
"Do you still remember the list of strange women back then?" Zhen Mi did not answer, Wu Yuan suddenly changed the topic, and Zhen Mi nodded after hearing this.
"Although the Xu family has revealed a traitor, there is nothing to say about Xu Zijiang's vision. But if you think about it carefully, none of those people on the ranking list has the support of a huge force behind them." Wu Yuan looked out the window and whispered softly.
asked.
"The power behind that person at that time was far less than that of you and me." Wu Yuan said calmly, "God knows how one person can understand so many things. To be honest, back then I felt that Cai Zhaoji and your husband were a perfect match.
There are too many obstacles.”
"I have never denied this." Zhen Mi looked at Wu Yuan dissatisfied and said, "What I was dissatisfied with was that poetry meeting. None of us were blind. Even Sister Jian'er only pretended to understand and pretended to be confused.
, Aren’t you also very scared when you don’t have Yuer?”
"That's it, you still have to take advantage of it. You think it's embarrassing for you to face Cai Zhaoji, but I'm afraid that person is more embarrassed to face you, and her guilt is more obvious." Wu Yuan looked at Zhen Mi and smiled.
said, "So why bother yourself?"
"You can't be the lobbyist sent by the Taiwei." Zhen Mi looked at Wu Yuan dissatisfied.
"Who knows?" Wu Yuan said with a smile, without refuting Zhen Mi's guess.
On another carriage, Liu Bei and Chen Xi were sitting opposite each other playing chess. Chen Xi was relatively high-level, but not a good player. In fact, the best chess player in the Chen family was actually the housekeeper. Of course, now, the best chess player
The person is Guo Kai, the grandson of the housekeeper.
In Chen Xi's words, this kid had the qualifications to be a chess master, so Chen Xi sent this guy to Taixue to go to school with Hua Tai, Wang Ji and the others.
Maybe Go really requires computing power, so Guo Kai is very good at setting up games and planning. Although he is a waste of practical skills, Butler Chen was still very satisfied after knowing that Go is just a game in this era.
As a pastime, I was born in Imperial College, worked as a staff officer, and followed around, and I could get an eleventh or second-class title.
This is much more promising than playing chess. By the way, this kid is killing a lot of people in Taixue. People who like to play chess, such as Cao Pi, and older ones like Wang Can and Ying Jue, have been killed over and over again by this kid.
The qualifications of a chess master are really not just blown away.
"Lost, lost." Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Zichuan hasn't been working hard recently. His chess skills have actually improved so much."
"I only play chess occasionally, and I can't win at all." Chen Xi said helplessly. The grandson of his housekeeper, in terms of Go level, could kill Chen Xi with all three of Chen Xi's sons. He was simply unreasonably strong.
.
Therefore, Chen Xi has withdrawn from the Go world. In the past, he tricked Jia Xu into playing Go and asked Guo Kai to kill Jia Xu. Later, everyone stopped playing this thing. It was really the one Chen Xi found.
Young people are too strong and unreasonable.
"Speaking of which, when you came here by land, were you worried about any problems at the Bingzhou Smelting Department?" Liu Bei asked casually while packing up the chess pieces.
"Let's put it this way, that guy Liu Zichu is a character, but he doesn't follow the right path." Chen Xi had a depressed expression on his face. Liu Ba's approach made Chen Xi very worried.
"Aren't the reports of Bingzhou Smelting Division very good in recent years? And this is not a false output." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi puzzled and asked, "Is there any problem with this?"
It is impossible to fake output. The steel produced by Bingzhou Smelting Department is distributed according to the rationing system. Every steel plate has a place to send. With the current situation of Han Dynasty, Chen Xi can find channels to consume whatever output you report.
Empty.
After all, the current steel output of the Han Dynasty is not enough in any case. It can only be said that the main industries can maintain enough steel to use when they need steel.
Therefore, the so-called fraud is impossible. Chen Xi's industry is not one or two, but a closed ring. Bingzhou Smelting Division, as a coal and steel complex, although it belongs to the core industry, is also an upstream link in this closed industry chain.
For Chen Xi, if my downstream products can be successfully produced based on the upstream output, the upstream output must be real. After all, this is something that cannot be turned around without one link.
"What I'm worried about is not fraud. What I'm worried about is that guy Liu Zichu is not building according to my plan." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Forget it, it's hard to explain this kind of thing clearly. Let's talk about it after going there. I haven't seen the real situation.
I’m not sure, I hope Liu Ba didn’t dig a hole for me because of the early increase in production.”
Liu Bei didn't quite understand what Chen Xi was talking about. After all, in his opinion, the situation there should be very good. One-third of the steel in the Central Plains is currently produced by the Bingzhou Smelting Department.
"You will know when you go and see it. Although I don't understand what you are worried about." Liu Bei smiled and said, "After all, we both have different perspectives and ways of looking at the problem. Maybe what I think is good will be different in my opinion."
It may not seem so to you."
"How should I put it? In fact, it is not a conventional steel smelting factory or mine, but an attempt of mine." Chen Xi scratched his head and said.
The simplest way to describe the coal-iron complex is that it is close to iron mines and coal mines, which reduces the time of resource transportation. But in fact, the deeper gameplay of this thing is to burn more coal, smelt more iron, and then use more
The iron is thrown into the coal mines to dig out more coal.
Make mechanical tools bigger and stronger, and then continue to make breakthroughs, forcing the development of power machines and materials science, and then expanding the scale and quality of output on their own.
It can be regarded as a self-increasing structure. It is a magical industrial structure that will increase in value after the basic foundation is set aside. It is very worry-free and can greatly promote early industrial industrialization.
But the core of this thing is that industrial breakthroughs have forced the power strength of the power machine and the self-development of alloy smelting. Let’s not talk about the power machine. The value of the steam engine in the coal-iron complex at the beginning was to pump water from the coal mine.
As the coal-iron complex expanded itself, more and more coal was needed, and the steam engine needed more and more power to pump water. Finally, the complete steam engine was forced out.
The same is true for the alloy manufacturing industry. Once the coal-iron complex starts to replicate itself, the demand for coal mines will increase. After the shallow coal mines are eliminated, deep digging will be inevitable, which will lead to the design of new machinery and
Alloy strength for large machinery.
These things are not a single problem, but a chain of problems. As long as they are turned around, these things will force producers to advance and study these things, and finally hatch a batch of machines for their own use.
Things like factories and materials research laboratories.
Chen Xi thought that it had been five years and it was time to ship the goods. The environment in Qingzhou was not comparable to that of the Bingzhou Smelting Department, but since nothing had been produced for such a long time, Liu Ba was probably pursuing short-term interests again. With Bingzhou Coal
In an iron environment, even if we plan for long-term interests, output will not drop too much. Of course, the most important thing is to create more jobs.
"Let's talk about it after we go there. I'm not in the field. If I explain it, it will be a bit empty. This thing really needs to be explained based on reality." Chen Xi scratched his head, "But this is really not that I am biased against Liu Zichu. It really is what I expected.
