Chen Xi looked at the Siberian Jin Jianli who was struggling hard in Liu Tong's arms and fell into deep thought. After a while, he still felt that it was better not to tell Liu Tong the truth. After all, it was a gift from the concubine of Duke Renzhong, and he needed to give him some face.
Besides, even Siberian tigers are not dangerous in Liu Tong's garden. There are imperial guards everywhere in Manweiyang Palace, let alone two ordinary Siberian tigers. Even the boundary-breaking Siberian tigers will be hammered.
In terms of rhythm, although the guards guarding the Weiyang Palace are a bit old, their combat effectiveness is still very good, especially the sharp warriors, whose high burst is guaranteed.
"It is indeed very cute." Chen Xi greeted Liu Tong as if he was looking at the cute cats. He also wanted to touch them. After all, after this cute period, these kittens will quickly develop into
The world's largest cat.
So after seeing the cute little Siberian tiger, Chen Xi still wanted to touch it.
He reached out and picked up the little white tiger that was hiding in Si Niang's arms and standing on the platform and handed it to Chen Xi. At this moment, Liu Tong became particularly considerate.
"Hehehe, it's very cute. I found that the Siberian gold gradient and silver gradient that Stina brought are really smart. They are also cats. They are smarter than the pandas I keep in the garden." Liu Tong started with his face.
The poor little Siberian tiger looks super warm.
"It's okay, this little thing is very smart." Chen Xi touched the head of the little white tiger. Maybe because he was a little bit aloof, he obviously started to stretch his claws towards Chen Xi, but he pinched the back of Destiny's neck, and then
After being mentioned, he became much better behaved.
"Oh, by the way, I'm not here to play with cats." After playing for a while, Chen Xi suddenly realized that he was not here to find a cat owner for himself. He was here for business. How could he have fun and not even have business?
forget.
"I wonder when you will react." Liu Tong said with a smile, put the Siberian tiger aside, and then said in a teasing tone, "Normally you would not come to Weiyang Palace in private to talk about it.
Well, you need something else that needs my seal."
"Well, that's not the case." Chen Xi laughed dryly. In fact, he mainly wanted to avoid taboos, so he rarely came to Weiyang Palace alone.
"Tell me about it." Liu Tong didn't care about Chen Xi's expression. For someone as big as her, she knew that there were plums in the fields, so it was better to pay attention.
"The situation is like this. We are planning to cancel this year's imperial meeting." Chen Xi went straight to the point. It was meaningless to talk to Liu Tong about what was available and what was not available. It would be better for everyone to just say it directly.
"Ah?" Liu Tong raised an eyebrow when he heard this. Although she has escaped many court meetings, she still attaches great importance to the court meeting. There were legitimate reasons for the postponement of the court meeting last year. It will not be held this year. What is this operation?
Chen Xi recited the reasons that he had compiled before to Liu Tong. After listening to it, Liu Tong thought about it and realized that he was not really stupid, he just didn’t want to use his brain. Therefore, after listening to Chen Xi’s story, Liu Tong understood that indeed, this year
If you have a big meeting, you won't have much to say.
The impact of natural changes on etching technology was too heavy, causing many technologies that were being developed to be completely destroyed, such as the cooling etching used in Lanchi Palace. Chen Xi suggested that Nandou and Tong Yuan make the foundation of this thing as possible as possible.
Smaller, it can be used in logistics and transportation to transport fresh meat from the northern ranches to more places in the Central Plains.
In addition, fresh food from the coast can be quickly sent to various places in a low-temperature cold chain. This is a method that can increase happiness. This was actually an idea at the time, and Nandou and Tong Yuan had already developed it.
Related etching.
Although it couldn't be made too small due to the formation base, it had roughly reached a level that could barely be used. However, a wave of changes in the sky brought all of them back to their prototypes.
There are also fruits from Southeast Asia. Zhou Yu, a fruit seller, suffered heavy losses due to the weather change, so he started to sell fruits in the first stage. It was because of the impact of the weather change on etching that there were problems with the refrigeration technology.
Many relatively ripe fruits cannot be delivered to Jiaozhou without sufficiently advanced refrigeration technology, and not being delivered to places like Jiaozhou and Yangzhou means that they cannot enter the supply and marketing system, which means that Zhou Yu ran away in vain.
Recently, Zhou Yu has also been improving cooling etching.
But one thing that is better than the northern animal husbandry is that Zhou Yu uses ships, the base can be made larger, the impact resistance is stronger, and the difficulty of improvement is lower, but this is all relative, if you really want to say it, in fact
It also requires a lot of time and effort.
Therefore, recently, the people of Jiangdong have returned to large-scale dealers in buying rice, manufacturing fruit wine, and dried fruits. What about dried mangoes and dried bananas? In short, the refrigeration technology is over. Even if Zhou Yu is the founder of the technology, he will not be able to survive until the sky changes.
It will also take a certain amount of time to completely restore the technology, and during this period of time without improvement, life will still have to go on.
"Ah, if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is really nothing to report this year." After listening to what Chen Xi said, Liu Tong couldn't help but nodded. This year has experienced a wave of changes. The map is full of bad news. Chen Xi has a lot of news.
The etching production line was stopped immediately.
By the way, Liu Tong's large-scale cotton spinning factory in Chang'an originally planned to lose two million dollars every month. However, after a sudden change, it lost even more money. Liu Tong had no good solution for this, so she
I wonder how much Chen Xi lost!
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Xi was also very sensitive to looks. He noticed the gloating in Liu Tong's eyes and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
"Ah, I'm just curious, how much did you lose?" Liu Tong chuckled and looked at Chen Xi who was very excited. Although I lost tens of millions of dollars, my peanut manufacturing industry made a lot of money. What about peanut oil?
What peanut cakes, what snacks, etc. It’s really a huge profit.
"Ah, it doesn't matter. If you lose money this year, the Young Master will allocate less money, and the benefits will be shared equally. It's just such an operation." Chen Xi was very calm. It is impossible to lose money. The etching of the production line collapsed. Could it be that the work has been stopped? Are you kidding me?
, it’s just a return to the situation two or three years ago.
The question is, is the situation two or three years ago considered bad? No, at least the economy is much better than it was during the late emperor's time, and there is still no problem with the huge amount of material output in a year.
Liu Tong exploded on the spot and almost rushed towards Chen Xi. Fortunately, he was caught by Xin Xianying who was watching from the side, otherwise this would have been another big incident.
"Master." Xin Xianying greeted Chen Xi very resentfully. She didn't say anything before. She only gave a slight bow when she saw Chen Xi, but don't make trouble.
After Zhang Chunhua ran away, the person recommended by Zhang Chunqiu before leaving was Xin Xianying. Xin Xianying herself was a little irritable at the school in Chang'an. Someone introduced her to someone every day. She didn't really want to get married recently, so she wanted to
Find a place to hide.
Therefore, when Zhang Chunhua told Xin Xianying that her position had been vacated by her resignation and Weiyang Palace had hired a new one, and asked her if she wanted to take over, Zhang Chunhua accepted it. She just happened to have nothing to do to write about palace life and the like, so as to cheat some money and not be shabby.
However, when she really came in, Xin Xianying discovered that the palace life she thought was different from the real life in Weiyang Palace. Although it was not as big a shock as Zhang Chunhua received when she first came, Xin Xianying also discovered that Shuhe
Reality is really two different things.
She has no chance of encountering any in-fighting in the palace or stumbling blocks.
Therefore, Xin Xianying's life in the inner palace is quite good. At least no one can come to Weiyang Palace to harass Xin Xianying. Let's postpone marriage or anything.
Chen Xi smiled when he saw Xin Xianying's expression. Chen Xi also knew that this guy came to Weiyang Palace to become the Great Changqiu James, and he also allocated a little more money to the Great Changqiu James. After all, Zhang Chunhua also played at that time.
After applying for funding, Chen Xi thought that his apprentice might also have needs, so he allocated a sum of money in advance.
Seeing that Xin Xianying was now defending Liu Tong, Chen Xi stopped teasing Liu Tong.
"Just kidding, but the situation this year is indeed very tragic." Chen Xi said quietly, as if I have tried my best, but I still lost a lot this year. The country's situation is indeed not good, plus military expenditures, infrastructure
Waiting for expenses, the situation is indeed not good.
After all, Liu Tong is sensible, and he does know that the situation this year is not very good. To be precise, it is inevitable, and the changes in the weather are an all-round blow.
"Forget it, I still don't count on the young master. I will make my own money to support myself." Liu Tong cheered up. Without the young master, would she be able to survive? I look down on her so much. Liu Tong is the biggest peanut in the Han Dynasty.
Suppliers still have money.
"Oh, that's good. You can have enough food and clothing by yourself." Chen Xi said quietly. It's great not to pay. Although there are other ways to settle the account, Liu Tong is so talkative, which is indeed a bit beyond Chen Xi's expectation.
, it seems that I will make a lot of money this year.
"Tsk." Liu Tong said angrily, "As long as I can support myself, otherwise I really don't know what to do in the future. Forget it, what you said is not wrong."
Chen Xi nodded. Liu Tong was shockingly open-minded in some aspects. Just like now, Liu Tong seems to have been preparing for the throne. It seems that he has never considered the importance of the throne, but has always relied on this.
Making money.
Making money legally to prepare for retirement in the future. Thinking about it this way, Chen Xi suddenly felt that it was not easy for Liu Tong, but he quickly threw this idea out of his mind. If it is not easy for Liu Tong, it is not easy for me!
"Xiangli came to see you." Just when Chen Xi and Liu Tong were talking nonsense about whether the new year's money would be doubled next year, the guards from the palace gate came to pass the news. Liu Tong frowned slightly, this was definitely not for her.
