What Sima Yi said was not nonsense. In fact, when he saw his grandfather hanging out with these uncles, his first reaction was to rebel.
Because at their level, generally speaking, it doesn't make much sense for a group of people to form an alliance to support one or two families, because there are rarely enough benefits to distribute to so many of them, and like this, the Yuan family and them
In the past, when the three families formed an alliance, there was nothing left to do except rebel, because for other things they did not require so many people to sign blood documents.
"Tsk, you are so honest." Chen Xi really didn't know how to comment on Sima Yi's words. From a certain point of view, these words were not really wrong.
"It's not a matter of honesty, but the education I've received all along has made me think about it like this." Sima Yi said calmly, "I wonder what my cousin thinks when he sees this? Why don't you tell me."
"I have no idea." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Even if they signed a blood letter to form an alliance, that's it. Anyway, they don't care much about it."
Cookie nodded when he heard this. He knew that Chen Xi had such a temperament. As he just said, if Chen Zichuan hadn't been here, he would have suspected that these people were going to rebel. To put it bluntly, wouldn't Chen Zichuan be the general environment these days?
Everything else is about adapting to the environment. Chen Zichuan is about creating the environment. Faced with this situation, what can you do? Whether to form an alliance or not is just that matter to Chen Xi, and there is no need to care at all.
"I've met a few uncles." When Sima Jun and his group came around from the yard, Chen Xi stood up and bowed to Sima Jun and others.
Privately, Chen Xi is still willing to give face to these people. It is difficult to completely distinguish between public and private matters. Furthermore, these people are indeed quite interesting.
Several people nodded to Chen Xi, then handed over the cookies, and then asked Sima Yi to withdraw from the banquet, and then brought a pot of porridge and some side dishes. Chen Xi and others had nothing to do, so they accompanied Sima Jun and others to carry small dishes.
The bowl is drinking porridge.
"Speaking of which, I was far away before and didn't hear what you said. Why was there something wrong with the sound I caught? Who wants to rebel?" Yuan Da couldn't hold it back in the end. After taking two sips of millet, he looked at Chen Xi as if he had seen a ghost.
asked.
At this time, the rebellion was so painful for the major families. They were still waiting for support from the Central Plains. As a result, the big brother who supported him from the Central Plains rebelled. This was a fool's errand. Even if he could win, he would still have to work hard.
With seven injuries, wouldn’t the follow-up be much more difficult?
"Ah, let's talk about the alliance between the Yuan family and the three families. If it weren't for this environment, they would definitely be preparing to rebel." Cookie said quietly, "You have a pretty good ear."
"Don't always scare people. I'm eighty years old, and I still want to live to Yuan Yi's age, but you scare me to death." Yuan Da nodded after hearing this. At present, no family wants the Han Dynasty to appear.
If there is turmoil, only if the Han Dynasty is not in turmoil, they will have more support.
"It's okay. You have a strong body. Even if you scare yourself, it will promote heart exercise and help extend your life." Chen Xi said with a smile, "It seems that you have indeed formed an alliance. The situation in Eastern Europe does seem to be a bit uncomfortable.
To everyone’s satisfaction.”
"The situation over there is not too bad, but Rome's strength is too strong." Yuan Da shook his head and said, "So far, I look at the strength shown by Rome, and I don't know how Xiansi over there has managed to survive.
"
"No matter how you get through it, as long as you can hold on, it'll be fine." Chen Xi nodded. Even with Huangfu Song there, it was indeed beyond expectation that he could continue to hold on until now.
"Speaking of which, I don't pay enough attention to the Yuan family. Of course, the most important thing is that I really don't have the extra energy to take care of it. Is there anything missing there?" Chen Xi asked curiously. Normally?
Just forget it if you see him. Now that you have seen him, you can listen to Yuan Da cry about his poverty and solve some problems for the Yuan family.
After all, all the thoughts next need to be focused on how to deal with the Kushans. It is basically impossible to provide military support to the Yuan family. In other words, it is really up to the Yuan family to find a way to withstand Rome first.
.
"The shortage is not serious, it's just that I can't buy anything if I have money." Yuan Da said quietly.
"There's nothing I can do about it." Chen Xi shook his head. If I don't restrict you, the Yuan family, your family's practice of sweeping up everything they see. To be honest, as far as your gold and silver production is concerned,
At present, the Han Dynasty really cannot hold on.
"Then give us some blast furnaces. At present, farm tools are not popular over there." Yuan Da said very rationally. Now the Yuan family relies on the support of his father who never blows up the furnace. Other newly built furnaces explode easily.
, however, the stove was barely enough for the Yuan family’s armed corps.
Although the black soil in Eastern Europe is very good, no one has ever cultivated fields. The Slavs there also relied on fishing and hunting. The Yuan family taught the Slavs to farm, but farm tools were a big problem.
In fact, most of the molten iron produced by the Han Dynasty every year was used by Chen Xi to make farm tools. Sickles weighed a pound each, and 50 million handles were made from the beginning. Hoes weighed a pound each, and 30 million handles were made.
One catty, 30 million handles, one catty of kitchen knives, 20 million handles.
Large and small iron pots, five million pieces, each weighing four kilograms on average, plows, five hundred thousand, ten kilograms each, etc. These are all very basic household products for beginners. What’s more important is that you think that’s the end of it.
These things will lose one-twentieth to one-tenth every year...
This is why Chen Xi's annual output of 60,000 to 70,000 tons is always lacking some here and some somewhere when it is used, because there are too many places where it is needed.
The same situation also happened to the Yuan family. What's more important is that the Yuan family is directly reclaiming wasteland, and iron farm tools are the most suitable. However, the Yuan family cannot provide so many iron farm tools at all, so they can only provide the Slavs with stone tools.
Let the Slavs cultivate the wasteland.
Fortunately, the Slavs are highly trained and have strong soldiers. Even with a wooden rake, they can rake out a large area. However, if there are enough iron farm tools, the Yuan family estimates that they can free up more manpower.
Face the Romans.
It would not be like now, where the Romans were in a particularly awkward situation, and their military strength would be stretched from time to time.
"There's no problem with the technology I gave you for the blast furnace, and there's no problem with the construction method. It's just because of the construction level that it exploded anyway." Chen Xi waved his hand and said. In this regard, his whole family was in trouble. Without a blast furnace, this group of people
It's hard to arm yourself when you go out.
Even if the Han Dynasty can sell them plate armor weapons and other weapons, there are two completely different feelings between being able to produce them yourself and buying them from others. Even if the self-produced output is not high, even if it is a blast furnace, in these days,
It can also fight more than a fully staffed Smelting Division before.
"Then can you give us enough time to build the blast furnace? We will refer to the construction manual ourselves. Even if we refer to the original drawings every step of the way, it will inevitably explode in the end." Yuan Da had a headache. They had nothing to do in Yuzhou, and they were with a group of people.
They built a blast furnace together, and a few days after the molten steel was produced, it exploded, so he and his three brothers were sent away together.
"I also want to know the reason for this. We here also practice according to this." Chen Ji rarely asked face to face.
"Can you trust my character?" Chen Xi thought for a moment, and he had to talk about his character first.
Yuan Da and Chen Ji all nodded. Chen Xi's character has always been very reliable. Even if he is a little informal at times, he does say the right thing on these major matters and will never mess around.
"Let's put it this way, the drawings I gave you were researched bit by bit by me and my people. There is absolutely no problem. However, due to the different materials used in different places, the degree of tamping during construction, and the heating after the furnace is opened, etc.
, Unless I go there on the spot, there is nothing I can do. The one I gave you can only be said to be common..." Chen Xi said helplessly.
Because of the local blast furnace, it is impossible to build something magical like a large sealed tank for you. You can only build it with soil. The soil quality in different places is different, so the bricks are different, the fire resistance is also different, and the degree of heat absorption and heat dissipation is also different.
It’s also different, and the method of frying is naturally different.
The drawings given by Chen Xi can only be said to be OK in the general direction. The rest requires professionals to adjust measures to local conditions based on the local environment.
"Although I don't fully understand it, I roughly understand that this thing needs to be adapted to local conditions." Chen Ji nodded slowly and said, "This requires experience."
All the old people get headaches when it comes to this. Unlike other things, the experience of this thing can only be accumulated by frying it.
Although Zhao Yun added more water and noodles, added more water and fried it dozens of times, adjusting every direction of the frying, and finally created a super ugly blast furnace with garbage volume utilization, it was indeed not good.
How scientific, but no matter what, if all possibilities that cause the blast furnace to explode are eliminated, then the blast furnace can survive.
The question is, can a normal person who cultivates this thing accumulate so many experiences over and over again? Shouldn’t it be that people who practice cultivation are gone?
"So, we can only find a way to hire some professionals." Chen Xi spread his hands, while Yuan Da and others covered their faces and walked around. This is your core.
On the contrary, Chen Ji doesn't care about this. Their consistent idea is to focus on practical results. As for the empty stuff, we'll think about it after I'm full.
"In this case, we won't say anything. We still support this." Yuan Da said quietly. Their old Yuan family has been very practical recently. Even if they don't produce anything else, they will produce a group of professionals who can operate blast furnaces.
, Yuan Da also feels that it is not a loss, the false reputation is not worth much these days.
