Night, Nanjing, Han Wang's Mansion, Zhu Wu Study.

"The third child should have arrived!"

Zhu Wu looked at the map marked with the places of Jiangxi, with a faint anxiety in his eyebrows.

"It's been there a long time ago, maybe it's all hit!"

The old man Xi, who was sitting on the side, took out two beautiful wine glasses from the box he was carrying, put them on the table, and said.

"Little five, don't worry, since you have to rest assured, the child will always have to be when he is older, he can't grow up. Now is Jiangxi, and in the future, Yunnan, Guichuan, Liangguang, and those places in the north, won't they all have to fight? Here, drink two! ”

Yes, the battle in the world cannot be fought by one person. When the king of Han is destined to be the majority, he sits in the center.

Zhu Wu smiled, turned his head and said, "It's too!" Then he smiled, "This glass is beautiful!" ”

The transparent goblet with a twig pattern engraved on it shines in the light of the study.

"What's new at the Artisan's Workshop." Old man Xi smiled, "Before you hit Gaoyou, didn't the old man ask you for silver and set up a new glass factory in the craftsman's workshop?" That's what it does! ”

Zhu Wu looked at the cup and nodded, he knew all these things, even if the old man didn't say it, some people would say it.

The place where the artisan workshop is loved by no one except the old man. A few days ago, a newly selected official from the Ministry of Industry went in once, went home and vomited for three days.

said that there was a miasma of smoke inside, and it was disgusting to smell it, and it was not a place for people to stay. Moreover, Li Shanchang also ran Zhu Wu's lawsuit, and the water discharged from the craftsman's workshop was all black, smelly, and smelly, and some people's livestock drank it, and their intestines were rotten and died.

You don't have to guess that Zhu Wu knows that it is chemical and industrial wastewater.

Old Man Xi has been researching new gadgets recently, and there is a secret underground world among the craftsmen, and no one can enter it except for Old Man Xi and a few people he brought out with his own hands.

Even Zhu Wu can't. When he didn't say anything before, Zhu Wu was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, but now, let him go.

"Wine Luminous Glass!" Old man Xi didn't know where to buy the wine, so he poured it with a smile, "Li Bai's drinking cup is definitely not as good as this!" ”

"People use jade cups!" Zhu Wu smiled, pointed to the glass and said, "Old man, this thing may sell for a good price, you see the pattern on this glass, if it is not limited to entwining branches, painting some flowers, birds, or painting." And then gilded, with color, isn't it more valuable? ”

Old man Xi thought about it, "Then it's vulgar, it's the best natural beauty." You're all bells and whistles, vulgar! ”

"In addition to these glasses, glass pots, and glass windows, you should also hurry up and develop them!" Zhu Wu said with a smile.

"Carving insect skills!" The old man peeled a fresh drunken shrimp, "But this thing just looks fresh." For the country and the people, it is of no great use! ”

"Can you exchange money, but it's useless?" Zhu Wu smiled with a goblet, "Hey, old man, you just work hard to study the mirror!" That's a lucrative deal. ”

Old man Xi drank wine and grinned, "Old man, I am a national scholar, and now I am studying a century-old plan. These gadgets are just to add some joy to life. ”

As he spoke, the old man pointed to his nose, "Do you know how busy I am, at school in the morning and at the craftsman's workshop in the evening." You are now the king of Han, and the finance and taxes in Jiangnan are enough to support the expenses of the Han army, don't always lose money, this one is also sold, and that one is also sold.

If you really want to sell, I'll write out the recipe and production process when you go back. You can build a factory on your own or sell it to a merchant at a high price. To govern the country, you can't rely on these trails, even if it is made, a few people can afford it, but it is not beneficial to the people's livelihood! ”

The generation gap, the absolute generation gap.

Born in modern society, although Zhu Wu has never done business, he has no business genius. But he knew how much wealth could be produced by the monopoly of this scarce, new commodity.

But this old man is rigid and too rigid in his thinking. What is beneficial to people's livelihood? Creating wealth is people's livelihood.

Prosperous commerce, thriving industry, thriving handicrafts, is the people's livelihood.

"It's still a high-achieving student! Hum! Rigid thinking, not knowing how to be flexible! ”

Zhu Wu slandered in his heart, and said with a smile, "Old man, anyway, you already have a glass factory over there, and it's easy to make these things!" Don't tell me, those glass jars, bottles, are produced to hold that secret weapon! ”

As he was talking, there were footsteps outside, and Xie Lian'er came in with a fat girl with a few dishes.

"Add food to you two!" Xie Lian'er put down the dish with a smile, her eyes fell on the crystal transparent glass, and she couldn't help but sigh.

She came from a wealthy background, and nothing good was unusual. But I really haven't seen these wine glasses in front of me.

"Looks good, right?" Zhu Wu smiled and brought it to Xie Lian'er, "The gift that the old man gave us should be the money for our marriage!" ”

"Thank you Xi Zhenren!" Xie Lian'er smiled, "It's too precious!" ”

Old man Xi forced a smile, "If you like it, it's good!" ”

But the teeth of hatred in my heart are itchy, Lao Tzu didn't say it to you, there is such a best set in the glass factory, and Lao Tzu himself still wants to keep it for drinking red wine.

I want to study in Europe when Lao Tzu likes to drink red wine the most, which I haven't drunk for many years.

"Lian'er, how much do you think this thing can be sold for?" Zhu Wu's heart moved and asked.

Xie Lian'er thought about it and said, "It's hard to say. However, if this thing goes out to sea and goes to the Persian eclipse, I am afraid of how big a cup it will be, and how big it will be in exchange for gold! After speaking, he turned around and said, "You two are drinking, don't bother!" ”

After Xie Lian'er left, Zhu Wu smiled proudly.

"Aren't you as knowledgeable as my daughter-in-law? Do you hear that? What a cup for what gold! Isn't it good to get more gold? Replenish the treasury, replenish the banks! The more gold, the more confidence in the hairstyle banknotes. ”

Old man Xi was obviously a little stunned, he was a human being in two lives, and he had no concept of money. In my previous life, from the beginning of work, someone took care of eating, drinking, lazing and sleeping, and when I was paid a monthly salary, there was no place to spend money.

In this life, he is a Taoist priest, and when he travels all over the world, he can also mix wine and meat money by relying on his knowledge.

He really doesn't have any concept of money! I didn't think that much.

At first glance, what a cup of gold is obviously beyond his worldview.

As soon as Zhu Wu saw his expression, he understood that the old man was shocked in his heart.

Don't look at his talent, he is unparalleled. But this old man is an old stubborn, and the big businessmen have a kind of resistance to doing business.

So I rarely tell the old man how extravagant the future will be. If you tell him, one Yuan Qinghua in the future can sell for hundreds of millions.

Don't go crazy directly!

After a while, Old Man Xi came back to his senses, and said with a sigh, "If you want to say that, I'll adjust the direction of production when I go back!" ”

Zhu Wu smiled and asked casually, "What secret weapons did you bring with the sappers who followed the third child?" ”

Old man Xi took a sip of wine slowly, "White phosphorus! ”

"What?" Zhu Wulu stood up, spilled wine all over him, and spoke with a trill, "Old man! Iniquity! ”

Although Zhu Wu is a real scumbag, he is also a soldier who does not seek to be motivated when he is a soldier.

But he knew about white phosphorus, and once the army organized a movie, and what he watched was the bombing of Tokyo by the beautiful country, hitting those small foot basins hidden in the tunnels, and using the images of white phosphorus.

That scene can not feel happy at all, but it makes people have nightmares.

"What are you yelling about?" Old man Xi glared and said, "It's white phosphorus, not white phosphorus!" The old man doesn't have that much ability to build something so powerful! ”

"Really?" Zhu Wuzheng said, "Old man, don't lie to me!" ”

Old Man Xi sighed and said, "I know better than you how powerful this thing is!" Although the old man lacks virtue and smokes, he will not joke with innocent human lives. ”

Only then did Zhu Wu put his mind at ease, "What are you doing studying it decently?" ”

"I'm going to make phosphate fertilizer!" The old man took a bite of the dish and said in a sven manner, "For thousands of years, our old China has always been a land and a can't eat, and it has caused wars. Which war, is it not the whole world that half of the people die before it can be stopped!

The old man thought, land annexation is one thing, but there is also a reason for grain production. So, I thought about researching things like fertilizers.

Don't say it, when I traveled around the world 20 years ago, I lived in Shandong for two years, and helped a Zhuangzi to make phosphate fertilizer using soil methods, so that they could harvest 30% more grain. ”

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the old man's face, "The people of Zhuangzi are crazy, and they say that the old man is a god and wants to build a temple!" ”

Zhu Wu slowly poured wine for the two, "What happened later?" ”

"The people were too enthusiastic, and then Lao Tzu ran away!" Old man Xi drank and laughed, "Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are not difficult!" The old man thought, come up with the best recipe for you to implement the whole country. ”

said, clinking glasses with Zhu Wu, "Didn't you say it?" The biggest rush in our two lives is to let the people eat enough! ”

Zhu Wu held a cup with him and said with a smile, "It's hard to make them all full, but we must do it in this direction, otherwise the meaning of our coming to this world will not be correct." We are here to build, not to destroy! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

Afterwards, drink a little wine, gossip and enjoy the relaxation of a busy day.

"Old man, your laboratory is so tightly hidden, when will I take a look?" Zhu Wu asked with a smile.

Old man Xi smiled with a winey smile, "You don't understand, what are you looking at?" ”

"What are we doing hiding like this?"

"That didn't stop you King Han?" Old man Xi teased, "Gunpowder prescription, did you take it?" ”

"It's not! I! Hi! ”

Zhu Wu's face was suddenly flushed, and he was embarrassed to death.

"That's outdated!" Xi Yingzhen smiled, "I've already started researching explosives!" As he spoke, he patted Zhu Wu on the shoulder, "Xiao Wu, don't worry, it's all yours sooner or later." I won't let you see it, one is because you're not a professional. Second, there are some things that you can't see, but it's a good thing! ”

"Drink and drink!" Zhu Wu said embarrassedly.

Old man Xi smiled and raised his glass, saying in his heart.

"Little Wu, I'm actually a devil. I don't want to turn you into a devil too! ”
