It was almost noon, and Duanmu Nanfeng immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet.

instructed a son and nephew in charge of the family to accompany Zhuge Xiaosheng and the three of them in person, and told them to be warmly entertained, and I didn't follow anyone who was not drunk!

But he took Xiao Chen to a pavilion in the garden, and ordered someone to hold a banquet here.

The atmosphere of the wealthy family is really thousands, Xiao Chen looked around and couldn't help but admire.

But I saw that the beautiful trees were verdant, the strange flowers were full of gardens, the rockery was towering, and a white practice was poured under the stone gap from the depths of the flowers and trees.

The two sides of the flying building are inserted into the air, carved and embroidered the threshold, faintly between the mountain col trees, look at it from a distance, like a pavilion in the air, a fairyland on earth.

The breeze is gentle and the fragrance of flowers is full.

The pavilion is facing a pool of clear water, and several small streams are bubbling in it, all of which flow into it, and the stones are crisp and crisp, like bells.

But I saw that more than a dozen fairies in fluttering clothes suddenly came out of the forest, holding jade plates, which contained all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies.

But it turned out that it was not a fairy, but a servant......

Anyway, there are a lot of dishes, Xiao Chen doesn't say that he has eaten them, he has never seen them!

I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Uncle Guo, I see that your banquet is much more sumptuous and exquisite than the emperor's imperial meal!" ”

"Lord Xiao, don't you say this nonsense, if you are known by those officials in the court, you will be noisy!" Duanmu Nanfeng said with a smile.

This is also quite interesting, he is not afraid of the emperor's blame, but he is afraid of the official participation?

I don't care at all.

"If I hadn't been here in person, I really wouldn't have known that there was really a fairyland in the world, and I would have looked at Uncle Guo's life like a fairy." After Xiao Chen sighed, he began to envy.

"I know that my Duanmu family is rich, if you are thrifty, people will say that you are pretending, like such a luxury, they have nothing to say." Duanmu Nanfeng sighed.

Seeing Xiao Chen's forehead sweating all the way, he beckoned a young man in Tsing Yi: "The weather is hot, quickly spread the rain!" ”

You say how surprised Xiao Chen was when he heard this!

You kid still say you're not a god?

If you are not a god, why can you make rain?

I could only hear the sound of Kerala in the waterhole, and four huge dragon heads slowly poked out of the water! As the dragon's mouth closed one by one, it actually spewed out a curtain of water towards the pavilion!

However, it turned out that these four big dragons had hidden mechanisms in their bodies to draw water through bamboo turbines, and the principle was similar to that of the water dragons on the ship, which needed to be operated by someone in the dark.

But the effect is the same as rain...... It's a shame that they came up with it!

The wine and food were all together, Duanmu Nanfeng retreated from everyone, and bowed down to Xiao Chen.

"Uncle Guo, what are you ......" Xiao Chen, who was in a panic, hurriedly stretched out his hand to help.

"It was a public gift just now, this time it is my private gift, my little brother has admired Brother Xiao for a long time! Brother Xiao said that I am an immortal, and I see that you are an immortal! If you weren't a god, how could you write such exquisite verses! Duanmu Nanfeng insisted on bowing to Xiao Chen three times before getting up.

And the address to him has also changed, and Brother Xiao is so kind!

It would be more cordial if you called your brother-in-law, ahem.

"Sister, that person is very cold, I haven't heard her praise anyone since I was a child, but I am very sorry for you, Brother Xiao! In the letter, I asked the monks of Jilong Mountain to take a look at you, and see if you are really a fairy descending to earth? Duanmu Nanfeng said that he laughed first.

"The imperial concubine is the fairy in the sky, I am just a reckless man in the world, but I don't have to worry about any gods and monks to tell fortunes, I don't have to be ashamed." Xiao Chen also smiled.

The two laughed, and they both felt much closer to each other.

That's what it means.

Although Duanmu Nanfeng was young, Xiao Chen didn't dare to treat him as a child, on the contrary, he respected him very much.

In other words, he is a young man, who can independently support a huge family business, how can he be a layman?

The two chatted for a while, and each other felt very talkative.

Although Duanmu Nanfeng is young, he has a wide range of knowledge, and he is the uncle of the imperial court and the richest man in Jiangnan, but he has a belly of inappropriateness.

Some of the advanced ideas that he said in passing coincided with Xiao Chen from modern times.

For a moment, Xiao Chen almost thought that this kid had also crossed over like him.

For example, when the two talked about silk weaving, they put forward the idea of building a machine assembly line, which could greatly reduce costs and increase output.

Duanmu Nanfeng actually said that he had thought so, but although there were many benefits to doing so, there was a big drawback, that is, it would lead to the unemployment of many textile workers.

Because once this kind of machine assembly line is manufactured, all the silk merchants will definitely follow suit.

Silk is inherently a luxury, the rich love it, but the poor can't afford it.

If its value plummets because of the cost reduction, the rich will not like it, but the poor will still not be able to afford it, and eventually it will lead to a backlog of unsalable products.

Xiao Chen felt that this was not a problem, silk was also very popular in other parts of the world, it was unsalable in China, it could be sold abroad, and it was not good to earn foreigners' silver?

Duanmu Nanfeng said that this is of course good, in fact, he has long wanted to engage in international trade, but he has no intention of doing so, but he can't implement it.

Now the Great Zhou is not to mention the restlessness of the four borders, the country is also in turmoil, the Silk Road is not smooth, how do you transport?

The best is shipping, but at present, the navigation industry in our Dazhou is not developed, although there are many ships, but they are all operating along the coast, and they can't go out of the ocean at all.

Besides, piracy is rampant along the coast now, and the newly established Great Zhou Naval Division can't be cleared at all, so it can't be done.

In the final analysis, the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was unstable and wars broke out frequently, which also greatly restricted business and trade exchanges and restricted economic development.

The two chatted more and more speculatively, and they became more and more in-depth, and unconsciously, gradually came to state affairs.

"The emperor just decreed to increase the money and grain of Jiangnan County by 30%, this doesn't need to be asked, and he wants to use soldiers to fight, and the war is together, so there is still an end? Brother Xiao, look at it, in less than three years, Jiangnan County will not be able to support it. ”

"After years of war, Jiangnan County has exported countless money and grain, and it has long been unbearable, it should be the time to recuperate, but the emperor still has to force and squeeze, does he have to destroy Jiangnan to stop?"

Duanmu Nanfengjun's face was slightly red, and he didn't know if it was because of the upsurge of alcohol or the anger in his heart.

But he can complain like this with Xiao Chen, which shows that he does not treat Xiao Chen as an outsider.

Otherwise, just these few words will be enough to go to prison and punish the crime.

"The emperor is also a last resort, if you don't eradicate those bandits and bandits, it will be difficult for the Great Zhou to have peace." Xiao Chen said a fair word for Li Wanjiang.

Duanmu Nanfeng shook his head again and again.

"The difference that Brother Xiao said, if you want the world to be peaceful, you can't just rely on conquest, hehe, in fact, as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment and have food, who will oppose Da Zhou?"

"It's like Jiangnan County, although not everyone is rich, at least the people can eat their stomachs, so no one will think of rebellion, if anyone dares to come to intrude, there is no need for the court to send troops, the people will take the hoe and beat them all away!"
