"Hey, Kong Ming, shouldn't you be at home with your wife?" Chen Xi came to the Political Yuan the next day to clean up his face, and after a while he had tea and ran away. Unexpectedly, he saw Zhuge Liang working silently. Zhuge Liang was silent for a while, and then said with a bleak expression, "Work is still the most important, why do humans want to marry a wife?" "Injured so quickly?" Chen Xi looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion and asked. "That's not true, I just feel tired." Zhuge Liang said rather sadly, "Also, human beings could live in peace before, but after achieving their goals, they fell out again. What is this for? Why are human beings so difficult to let others know? "I understand." "No, it should be said that if you can understand it to this extent, it means you are already very good." Chen Xi said with a smile, "It will get better after a while. It is possessive at first, but it will cool down after a while. Work hard. If you need it, you can go back at any time. You Zijing is here." Lu Su paused while holding the tea cup to warm his hands, but did not refute this fact. "Let's get to work. How much is left to do in the year-end accounting?" Chen Xi looked at a few people and asked, "It will be the New Year in a few days. It's another year." "Have you written down the chronology?" Jia Xu asked casually. "I have professional ghostwriters, so I don't need to do anything at all." Chen Xi said proudly. Cai Yan wrote the New Year's greetings to the eldest princess easily. "In terms of settlement, not counting you, only Zi Yang is left. Zi Yang is really miserable this year." Jia Xu looked at Liu Ye, who was still working crazily. "Can you say a few less sarcastic words about why the three of them, Yuan Caosun and others, are included in the report? They can just report to themselves. It was clearly agreed that except for the beginning, they will be responsible for their own profits and losses in the future." Liu Ye He said angrily, "In the end, they actually came here to set up a trap. If I didn't know the truth, I would have thought they were all loyal ministers!" "Is there anything wrong with being loyal to the Han Dynasty?" Chen Xi said with a smile. In fact, Chen Xi knew what was going on. This year, the Yuan family continued to invest money in the Han Dynasty and purchased various surplus supplies from Chen Xi. They bought too much, so they wanted to see what the domestic response to this matter was. How do you think about it? After all, Xu You already has some understanding of currency and value. Although it is not clear yet, he also knows the difference between having money and having materials. This year, I came all the way to the table just to see what the Han Dynasty¡¯s attitude was towards the Yuan family¡¯s use of money to buy things. In fact, the Yuan family only bought a small batch this year. If the scale can be larger next year, the Yuan family will prepare to build a road to connect it to Yili. The entire road was planned later, but if it can be built from the Han Dynasty After purchasing a large amount of supplies, the road must be built first. The same is true for Cao Cao. They are also considering the attitude of the Han Dynasty, and this is even more true for the Sun family. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were almost driven crazy by Saixi Selian. The other party built a sea fortress using an almost chain-link method. , Zhou Yu wanted to burn this thing, but it was too shameless to withstand the defensive barriers strengthened by Saixi Selian. So much so that Sun Ce has been in a very awkward situation recently. Fortunately, there are still armies on both the north and the south to restrain Saisi Selian, otherwise the opponent's sea fortress will most likely come up and force Zhou Yu to fight. This is also the reason why at the end of this year, all the families who originally agreed to be responsible for their own profits and losses came to plot. Yuan Caosun was also plotted, and all the aristocratic families who founded the Central Asian country were squatting together to plot. Anyway, all the major aristocratic families are suffering now, which is basically equivalent to negative equity. In terms of balance, they have nothing except food and weapons. If Liu Ba hadn't established trade routes with Rome, he felt that they were all descendants of Xia and had the ability to win over them. It would be better to give them a hand and suggest a rationing system to this group of aristocratic families who are engaging in suppression. Maybe these people are still suppressing them now. Liu Ba saved the life of the Central Asian aristocratic families. The major aristocratic families relied on the rationing system to survive the most difficult period. Relying on the advantages brought by the rationing system, the Parthian people in Central Asia also quickly recognized the Han Dynasty. After all, with the status of aristocratic families, it is better to live and die than live, not to mention that major aristocratic families themselves are gritting their teeth and implementing a rationing system. The so-called worry is not about scarcity but inequality. This statement is indeed very reasonable when materials are scarce. Therefore, major aristocratic families also follow the above list and cry about poverty. Maybe next year, when Chen Xi is happy, he will give them more loan lines or something. . Chen Xi doesn't have any bad feelings about the ideas of the major aristocratic families. If he can produce more surplus materials next year, he really doesn't mind lending money to the major aristocratic families so that they can buy them back and use them. This is the same as raising money. It¡¯s the same with the trumpet. The low level of the trumpet now doesn¡¯t mean that the trumpet will have no combat effectiveness in the future. Why not do a business that will make a lot of money sooner or later? "Can you finish the calculation?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Ye and asked. "Working overtime for five consecutive days and nights, including my subsequent audit, there should be no problem. Liu Ye said without raising his head. "There is still time before the New Year. It seems that we can finish the work before the new year." "Chen Xi said inhumanely. When Liu Ye heard this, his hands paused. Please be a human being. "What is this? Auspicious? "Chen Xi looked at the e-mail sent to him strangely. It turned out to be an auspicious e-mail, "Who is this? He is so fierce and sent it all the way to me. Didn't I already remove all the auspicious information? Already? " "What auspiciousness is this time? "Chen Xi opened the official document strangely, thinking that someone below wanted to be beaten, and he dared to send something auspicious to his desk. I'm afraid he was impatient, but let's take a look at the content first. "What auspiciousness? Kirin? Guo Jia said with some curiosity, "I wonder if it's another giraffe sent over from Rome. Why are giraffes so easy to raise to death?" " "Probably because of the climate, but the giraffe is so big, and after being raised to death, there is not much meat. "Liu Yan shook his head repeatedly and said with some dissatisfaction. " Rome sent a few lions and giraffes to the Han Dynasty. The lions are still alive today, but they don't know where they went to Shanglin Garden. On the contrary, the giraffes , that is, it was sent as a unicorn, and it was raised to death after a short time. The eldest princess looked at the dead giraffe and asked the eunuch to chop it into roasted venison. It turned out that the meat of such a big deer was actually good. Only a little bit. ¡°Although it¡¯s hard to believe, it¡¯s really auspicious. "Chen Xi was silent for a while and put the confession aside, "The Xiangli clan is at odds with the Zhang family this year, isn't it? Their family has developed a pure version of the heaven and earth essence power machine. " The Xiangli family may be the most mechanically literate family in ancient China. Milling machines and assembly lines basically come from this family, which specializes in machinery. Chen Xi previously sent this family to the Yellow River to engage in hydraulic forging and make plate armor. , The quality of the new generation of Han Dynasty armor has become better with the advancement of technology, and it has become better after being warmed up. Last winter, Xiang Lishi wrote to Chen Xi that the Yellow River had frozen, and Longmen could not afford water power. Forging, if there is no water power, we can't afford this kind of steel forging with animal power and manpower alone. Let's see if we can move them to the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River does not freeze. Chen Xi was thinking about the seriousness of the Little Ice Age in two years. The Yangtze River would also freeze, so I went to Donglai to see the steam-heaven and earth essence hybrid machine developed by Zheng Hun, Ma Jun and others. Although this thing will be installed on seventh-generation ships in the future, Now this group of people use this as power equipment and have built a lot of lathes. The reason why the seventh-generation ship construction can advance so quickly and smoothly is largely due to the power machine, and the copying work is also in progress, but Everyone felt that it was a big loss. Xianglishi also went to see it. If they found a treasure, their ancestors had said that they would build a machine to replace human and animal power. But before it was built, they offended Lu Buwei first and then offended him. Having Li Si, I was lucky that I didn¡¯t rush into the street. Therefore, when I saw this power machine built by several master craftsmen and led a large number of masters, my mouth watered. I immediately wanted to get one for myself, and the result was confirmed again and again. After that, Xianglishi rejected this semi-finished product. Xianglishi clearly stated that this thing has no meaning in copying. Unlike other guys who engage in machinery for hobbies, the core of Xianglishi's machinery is very clear, that is, it cannot be popularized. If there is something wrong with the research direction, and it can be produced, but the difficulty of copying is too high, it must be a problem with the craftsmanship and current technology. The meaning of the existence of machinery for this family is to complete certain tasks instead of manpower. Therefore, Xianri's approach has always been to conduct research on other aspects first when certain machines cannot be copied perfectly, and then copy them after the technology has been accumulated to a certain level. This will neither waste time nor cause damage. It's a waste of resources. Therefore, the things that Xianglishi makes are either given to you all over the map, or they are made and stored directly. They rely on standardization and assembly lines to make hundreds of thousands of them for you. After killing the opponents, it can be said that after losing the standardization and assembly line, it is difficult for another dynasty to play like this. Therefore, Xianglishi directly rejected the direction of the steam-Tiandi Jingqi power machine. It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t know that this thing existed, but I didn¡¯t send anyone to investigate it in detail before. I just thought it was the top creation of mechanics, a power machine. But when I arrived, I found that it was something that couldn¡¯t be copied. The honest man from science and engineering directly commented. At that time, the Zhang family and several master craftsmen who were supporters of this stuff almost started a fight with the young people sent by the Xiangli clan.After coming, the young people from the Xiangli clan directly said that you may be in the right direction, but there is no way to popularize it. You are clinging to your limitations!
