Chapter 202: A Glance at the Mountains

Wangchuan Tower is four stories high, seven zhang high. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The cool breeze blows through the windows, giving a refreshing feeling, as smooth as the touch of a cool fairy.

At this time, the two of them ate very refreshingly, including Deng Ai, who has always paid attention to his demeanor.

This is not pretending, firstly, because he is also sleeping in the open these days, and he eats quite rudely; The second is that Liu Chen's food is indeed attractive, and it can be described as a rare delicacy in the world.

Deng Zhong was still a little apprehensive at first, but after listening to Deng Ai's words, he ate a green-looking wild vegetable, which he had never eaten before.

But as soon as he ate it, he couldn't help it, and when he saw that his father had no scruples, he quickly swept the food in front of him.

Therefore, the two of them ate very happily.

The reason why it was two of them was because Zhuge Jing was a little out of place, he was eating while staring at the staircase, and it seemed that as long as there was movement, he would get up immediately.

After breakfast, Liu Chen saw that Zhuge Jing was a little nervous, so he ordered:

"You go down and let people clean up these things, Gu has something to talk to General Deng."

Seeing this, Deng Ai also said to Deng Zhong next to him:

"You go to the attic and wait for your father, don't be in a hurry."

When the two of them went down, Liu Chen and Deng Ai walked to the window and looked at the streets in the city outside the palace downstairs, with many houses and shops.

"Actually, General Deng doesn't need to be in a hurry, when Gudong goes out to attack Nanyang, the general is going south at that time, I'm afraid the victory or defeat is especially known."

Liu Chen looked at the scenery in the distance and said calmly, as if he was expounding on an ordinary trivial matter.

Hearing this, Deng Ai's throat moved, and he sighed for a long time and said:

"The victory and defeat have been divided, I have lost again, and I have been completely defeated, so what's the use of saying anything?"

Hearing Deng Ai's words, Liu Chen heard the deep frustration and shame in it.

Liu Chen didn't answer immediately, but continued to look into the distance, as if he wanted to see what was outside the city, and then turned to Deng Ai and asked:

"I don't know what General Deng saw in this Wangchuan Pavilion?"

"Prosperity inside the city, workshops outside the city."

The answer was concise, but the words were very solemn.

Hearing this, Liu Chen seemed to have found a topic, and said with a smile:

"You know it's a workshop, but do you know what it's made there?"

"Thunder, rockets?"

"Yes, those things went out from there, and it is the most important thing in Lonely!"

Deng Ai didn't agree with Liu Chen's words, so he shook his head and said:

"Don't you think that the most important thing should be behind you, in the Zhangwu Palace?"

Liu Chen knew what Deng Ai was talking about, it was a noble pursuit, a kind of extravagant hope, but there were countless people scrambling to be the first to squeeze their heads to seize what they wanted to seize.

However, Liu Chen also had his own opinions, and he shook his head lightly and said:

"No, for Lone, the most important thing for Lone is all of Lone's things, including all the things that Lone cares about, as for that position, it is just an unimportant part, before ascending the throne, Lone can still achieve his own goals, on the contrary, sitting on it, there are many inconveniences."

Deng Ai was also a little touched by Liu Chen's true words, he turned around and glanced at Liu Chen seriously, and said:

"Let's talk about your chips, although I am only a defeated general, since the Han lord values it, I have to say some catties!"

Deng Ai held back for so long, and finally couldn't help but return to this topic first, although Liu Chen was happy in his heart, his face was impassive, and he shook his head and said:

"No, Lone won't come up with anything, and as for any chips, there will be no chips."

Liu Chen's words made Deng Ai frown, he asked himself quite highly, and he had met countless times in such negotiations, but Liu Chen at this time always made him feel uncertain.

However, this did not affect his disappointment in the slightest, and he sighed:

"The Han lord wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf, but the old man can't agree, after all, the old man has a family, and these are not things that the old man can give up if he can give up."

Liu Chen didn't seem to understand Deng Ai's words, looked at Deng Ai, and said with an angry smile:

"General Deng's words are so unreasonable, you will have to bargain chips or something for Gu to do things, so what can Gu get by doing things for this country?"

Deng Ai did not answer this question immediately, but began to ponder, looking at the distant mountains, and his gaze became unfocused.

Liu Chen was not in a hurry, turned around and sat down to take out a bottle of wine, and drank it slowly, with a relaxed face.

In fact, such a moment is very rare for Liu Chen, because he always has endless things to do and endless criticism.

Recently, he was conducting a review of the situation in the military cantonments to see if enough land had been cultivated in various localities as required, and the results showed that it was still good, and the morale of the people and soldiers in various localities was high.

And he has asked Fan Jian to draft a department for the development of various resources, which will recruit those who have a unique mindset and are good at discovery and research.

In Liu Chen's mind, he planned to mine coal and steel soon, and at the same time to open mountains and build roads, because according to the workshop, most of the research on mines dedicated to blasting has been carried out and can be operated on the ground.

In addition, Liu Chen is conceiving the screening of hundreds of officials in the entire imperial court organization, and Dong Ju's report has come up, and in the face of this indiscriminate and untargeted report, Liu Chen is still really shocked.

Later generations often said that the Qing prefect for three years, 100,000 snowflakes of silver.

Although the situation is really not so serious, like Lin Shuangwen's uprising, local cool officials still exist, especially in this era when a family that pays attention to gate valves and can involve a lot of forces by pulling out a random person.

Liu Chen once thought that the system set by people was for people to complete, and the gap between them was the so-called human favor.

From the later generations, he knew that whatever you do, you either give money or have a relationship, and the efficiency of work is faster, otherwise, the descendants of the dragon will tell everyone what it is like to line up to do things.

While Liu Chen was pondering, Deng Ai completed his thoughts this time and came back and said seriously:

"Although the old man knows that the Han lord doesn't want to have any bargaining chips, the old man can not have any official position and reputation, but the old man still has a request."

For people like Deng Ai, Liu Chen felt that it was not too much for him to put forward ten or a hundred requests, because they had this qualification, so they did not refuse immediately, but put on a serious listening appearance and waited for the following.

"The old man knows that the Han lord is determined to be in the world, but the old man has been on the border of Liangzhou for a long time, and he knows the fierceness of Qiang Hu, so he also hopes that the Han lord will give him a chance.

Liu Chen didn't answer this question immediately, but drank the wine in the cup in one gulp before asking:

"Shi Zai can know why Gu wants to requisition the people's power and waste money to build this Wangchuan Pavilion?"

Deng Ai could not answer this question, because since ancient times, many people have a natural resistance to high-rise buildings.

One is that the high places are not cold, and the buildings will not be strong.

In addition, it is the reason why the influence of the king of Shang's Lutai is too far-reaching.

Therefore, he threw this question to Liu Chen, because he had already guessed that the answer he wanted was in it.

"Because he will be at the top of the mountain, a person is used to being in the deep palace for a long time, he will definitely lose the determination and domineering spirit to compete for the world, because he has been lost, and Lone is also afraid of being lost, because Lone is also a mortal."

"It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains and small ...... The mountains are small, I already understand, the last general Deng Ai, Deng Shizai, see the lord! ”

Seeing Deng Ai's solemn appearance, Liu Chen was excited in his heart, because he wanted to hold Deng Ai in the Yinping Trail when he started to come here, so that he could also experience the pleasure of his fierce generals like clouds and the beauties of the harem behind him.

But the situation does not change with people, in the blink of an eye, things are not people, many times, Liu Chen is doubting that this is still not the Three Kingdoms.

Fortunately, that familiar and magnificent era is back!
