Cooks and actors are basically the main occupations of Chen Xi's maids, and they can also do some textiles. Their skills are divided into three, six, and nine. Overall, Chen Xi has truly trained these people to the point where they can live independently.
Although most of the maids have no intention of returning them voluntarily, what Chen Xi is asking for here is not a life-sale contract. Even if it is a life-sale contract, Chen Xi is allowed to redeem them. However, not many have left on their own accord over the years, and most of them still prefer this kind of maid. environmental.
"This thing is indeed made well, but the smell of meat is too light." Liu Bei lit the pot and said, "But the taste is really good, and it is very suitable for eating."
"Look, you were educating me just now, but now it's 'why not eat minced meat'." Chen Xi turned over a pair of chopsticks from the side, tasted a portion of the small bowl, and laughed at Liu Bei.
"What does 'why not eat minced meat' mean?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment and didn't realize it. There is no such allusion yet, but there are many things without allusions. Chen Xi has also popped it up. At most, it needs to be explained.
"Why not eat minced meat? It was a boy from the Sima family. Someone told him that the people outside had no food to eat. It was very painful to chew bark and grass roots. That's what he said in reply." Chen Xi explained casually.
Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then his face turned gloomy, "Where is that kid?"
"Uh, why are you asking this?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei in confusion.
"Let me beat him to death." Liu Bei said with an extremely cautious expression.
"That's too much. He's just a stupid kid." Chen Xi curled his lips and said.
"Do you think there are direct descendants in a family like the Sima family who are so stupid? Anyone who can afford to eat minced meat should be a direct descendant of the Sima family. As for the direct descendants of the family I have seen now, not to mention that they are all talented, but at least they are among the middle. The Sima family's education is even better." Liu Bei said with a livid face, "It would be a good thing to kill such a smart but inhumane guy."
"..." Chen Xi has already understood what Liu Bei's thinking logic is. He has to say that this thinking logic is no problem for the Sima family. Indeed, with the state of the Sima family, they could not afford to eat minced meat in the past. He is a direct descendant, and with the education of the Sima family, a direct descendant is really not so useless as to say such a thing.
Therefore, in Liu Bei's view, what the dead child of the Sima family actually meant when he said this was to make the people exchange their children for cannibalism. In Liu Bei's view, it was absolutely not unfair to kill someone with such a tone. Those who were capable and inhumane would have died long ago. There are fewer hidden dangers.
"Ahem, it's just a pseudonym. The same goes for a certain queen's 'Why don't they eat cake'..." Chen Xi twitched the corners of his mouth twice and decided to give Sima Zhong a clean slate. After all, he was a notoriously mentally retarded person. Emperor, and unlike those emperors who pretend to be mentally retarded and have inner thoughts, this one is truly mentally retarded.
"..." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and finally gave up asking about the matter.
"Forget it, I won't ask anymore. The main reason I asked you to come out is to let you see the changes in the world. I originally thought your mood would be better, but looking at the current situation, it's probably useless." Liu Bei sighed. He said in a tone of voice, "You know everything and know how to deal with it, but you haven't actually experienced it, but this is not a shortcoming."
"Some things represent misfortune and the seniors who have passed through the pain should do not let the younger generations also experience that pain, but should let the younger generations avoid this kind of pain. The key to education is to remember the bitterness and think about the sweetness. Informal." Chen Xi said calmly.
Not having experienced some things does not mean that you have no right to speak. On the contrary, just because you have not experienced it, but you have learned about it in history, classics, and various records, you will do your best to avoid that experience. It does not mean that you have experience. It's a good thing. On the contrary, a normal person will try his best to avoid that kind of bad thing.
Some things are really like "what you see on paper will eventually become shallow, and you must know how to do it", but some things should be forgotten, just like typhoid fever. Only by experiencing it can you understand how powerful Zhang Zhongjing's holy word is. It's heavy, but the mortality rate is over 70%, and tens of millions of people are lying dead on the spot. You have to be mentally ill to experience this.
"I'm glad that I haven't experienced it, and I will try my best to make those records a part of the history books, rather than a part of reality. Prevention and prevention are two concepts. What I seek is to prevent the slightest change, and no matter how bad it is, it is just a sign. I organize things when they arise, instead of swimming against the tide and pursuing miracles when things get too big to stop. That kind of hero is definitely not me." Chen Xi's calm tone expressed his own consciousness.
"If you can help it, it's better not to see that kind of thing." Liu Bei said with a long sigh. Chen Xi may have never seen that kind of situation. He died because he saw bones exposed in the wild during the Hulao Pass period and saw it on the road during the Taishan period. There were deaths from hunger, but then there were no more, and the beggars were all gathered together.
Up to now, the Han Dynasty is really catching vagrants everywhere. It really wants to reduce the unemployment rate to zero. If the vagrants are found to have no physical problems, they will directly be forced to work.
"Just know roughly what the situation is and how to solve it." Chen Xi ordered the pickles and said, "As for this, fifteen years ago, this jar was worth nearly a hundred dollars, but now it is only worth twenty. Two yuan may only be worth twenty yuan next year. I don’t care about other things, but for the basic hardware of food, clothing, housing and transportation, I have been keeping the cost down.”
"I know this." Liu Bei nodded. Chen Xi has been reducing the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation. This is why now, when the strong laborers of the Han Dynasty go to help in the city, they still earn about 900 yuan a month, but they live longer than It was much easier before, in fact, because the most basic expenses of food and clothing are now completely controlled by the state.
Chen Xi is no longer prepared to make money for these four urgent needs. If he can support people, the money he earns can pay for the labor and material costs. As for depreciation and other things, just cover them if you can. If you can't, forget it. Make money, I don’t make any money!
It is precisely because of the reverse operation that suppressed the prices of urgently needed products that the cost of living of the people has dropped significantly. This is why the people found that they are living a better life without a penny more circulating in the market. Although these people do not understand at all What is going on, but I still know very well whether I am living well or not.
"Some things really require scale to produce benefits." Chen Xi said with emotion, "By the way, when the scale increases, a lot of waste residue can be turned into new materials. Take sugarcane sugar production as an example. If you let the people do this, they may lose money. , for us, the sugarcane is used to squeeze juice to make sugar, the bagasse is used to make wine, the fine fiber is used to grow mushrooms, the crude fiber is used to make paper, and the remaining dregs are used to raise pigs."
Well, that’s what Chen Xi did. In the south of the Yangtze River near Jiaozhou, a large area of sugar cane production was created in this way. After going around like this, not even the garbage was left. Even if there was any leftover, it could be used for composting. Is it something that ordinary people can afford? What are you doing? Just plant sugar cane. Chen Xi will remember that the price will be five cents higher.
Liu Bei almost spit out a mouthful of wine, how could he still play like this? Speaking of which, what is left after playing like this? Of course, there is nothing left.
"Let me think about it, the benefits of such a sugar cane far exceed that of juice extraction and sugar production." Liu Bei began to calculate the money secretly. He suddenly discovered that the low-end games played by Chen Xi were also very scary. This kind of operation was simply Not even the scum is left.
"Of course, such a complex factory can not only produce white sugar and rock sugar, but also produce some drinks for local sales. Mushrooms are sold to restaurants in the name of mountain delicacies, and the restaurants can collect the edible mountain delicacies. The guy's money, the wine dregs fed to the pigs, and then sold, it can be said to be perfect, although I plan to get together with some other things this year..." Chen Xi dealt with Liu Bei casually, not thinking there was anything magical about it.
The main reason is that Chen Xi feels that this chain is really short, and the output with sugarcane as the core is too average. He plans to add some aquatic products and other things into it to make the chain longer, which will not spread the cost in the end. It was directly spread into single digits. Anyway, the land was owned by me and I didn’t need to calculate it. On the contrary, the manpower was still the object of exploitation, so I didn’t need to calculate it either.
In the end, you might even be able to make a fortune from the high satisfaction of the people.
"It's really amazing." Liu Bei could still understand this low-end operation, but precisely because he could understand it, Liu Bei felt that it was more shocking than the previous magical operations.
After all, Chen Xi's face was expressionless no matter how the immortal operations were performed, and Liu Bei himself couldn't understand it, so he didn't understand what it meant at all. And with this kind of low-end operation, a sugar cane was used by Chen Xi to perform so many operations. It was an eye-opener for Liu Bei.
"It's so awesome. It's just bullying the common people who have no knowledge." Chen Xi said angrily. This kind of operation was done by small factories in the southern rural areas many years ago. Later, this kind of operation was played to death by higher-end companies. There is no way , the higher-end ones are larger in scale, have longer chains, and are cheaper when spread out. In the end, all the trash fish are cold.
To put it simply, what Chen Xi is playing now belongs to the small fish and shrimps from all over the country in later generations. It’s just that there is no larger scale now, and there is no recycling at this time, so it is really bullying the ancients.
"You can't say that. If others can't think of it, it's great if you can think of it. And if you can not only think of it, but also do it, that's even more powerful." Liu Bei said with great solemnity.
"Let's eat vegetables, Mr. Xuande, I'm embarrassed if you say that." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Wait until I study recycling this year and make the chain longer, then you can say this again."
