If Chen Xi could understand the behavior of the Zhen family to some extent before, even if those behaviors were full of stupidity, waste of resources, etc., at least he could say behind those behaviors that he had a backer and was not afraid of trouble. But what happened now, Chen Xi was I really don't understand.
Although it is not possible to say that the Zhen family is in trouble, as the backstage of the Zhen family, Chen Xi feels that there is something wrong with Zhen Yan.
Even though the Han Dynasty did not explicitly say that collusion with local princes was not allowed, as long as the Zhen family had a sound mind and thought about their own treatment, they should not get involved with Cao Cao.
To put it too much, the Zhen family are basically relatives. Now it's okay if they don't actively support Liu Bei. They actually get together with Cao Cao. I don't know what they are thinking.
"My wife told me that this was the result of the Zhen family's collective vote last year. Although the current head of the Zhen family has a veto power, he gave up after many considerations." Liu Bei said expressionlessly. said.
Regarding what the Zhen family is doing now, Liu Bei is actually quite speechless - I, Liu Bei, am so sorry for you? How could you possibly mess with Cao Cao if your brain is so screwed up?
"Are you coerced by their huge franchise team?" Chen Xi asked with some doubts. Chen Xi did not pay much attention to the Zhen family, but generally he understood the development of the Zhen family in recent years. Development situation, and it is impossible to understand the thinking of the Zhen family's current behavior.
"I don't know. Anyway, Madam is quite angry." Liu Bei said with a smile.
Although he felt that the Zhen family was somewhat stupid, this matter was not a big deal to Liu Bei. When the Zhen family came, he would scold them and ask them to change their ways. In Liu Bei's view, it would be almost the same. However, this opportunity was also Just once, as a king, it is impossible to focus on this aspect. If given a chance, the Zhen family would obediently watch Zhang marry Liu Bei.
"I guess the situation is not as good as you think." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
When he went to the north for a tour, Chen Xi saw something about the sugar industry. The Zhen family has basically reached the level of industry closure. Chen Xi also knows to some extent what kind of capabilities they have at this level. If this involves Liu Ba, Together, Chen Xi was somewhat worried.
"What could happen?" Liu Bei asked slightly puzzled, but he didn't take it to heart.
"It's not clear yet, but if I really got together with Liu Zichu, I actually don't want to take care of it. I just want to let people see the consequences. Letting these noble families and the three major forces out in the past would also It kind of lets the Han family see the results of different systems." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "Failure will make people sober up."
"Then just give me a few words of advice." Liu Bei said nonchalantly.
Liu Bei's own attitude towards the Zhen family is that he only cares about his past face, but the other party doesn't understand, so don't blame him. Things like human relationships must be maintained after all. Liu Bei remembers the good things about the Zhen family. That's because Mrs. Zhang is around, but Mrs. Zhang has been away from the Zhen family for a long time. Although they have contacts, they are no longer the pillars that supported the Zhen family.
"Let's see, sometimes it's good to make mistakes and feel pain." Chen Xi said with a calm expression. Ever since Liu Ba couldn't listen to others, Chen Xi used Liu Ba as a high-end test subject. Something was bound to happen. , the only difference is when something happens.
Coupled with the previous ordnance shipments, Chen Xi somewhat suspected that the other party had some air-to-air intentions. The operating space here was really large, but the danger was also great.
"I don't care about this kind of thing." Liu Bei said calmly. After all, Chen Xi is responsible for internal affairs, and military affairs are his scope of authority.
The next day, Chen Xi started to send out invitations, preparing to hold a banquet. The invitees were basically acquaintances from Liu Bei's family. Although the three families of Yuan, Cao, and Sun were also invited, there were not many invitation letters. It was obviously a private banquet, and how many aristocratic families there were. Some people wanted to participate, but even the Chen family didn't get an invitation.
"So, you don't ask me to eat, but you still have to use my cook?" Liu Tong said very dissatisfied, "Why? I also want to eat giant clams and large yellow croaker!" Because he did not send an invitation letter to Liu Tong, requesting When Liu Tong was supporting the kitchen chef, Chen Xi was blocked by Liu Tong. He had no other intentions and was not interested in what you exchanged, but eating
If you don’t take the delicious food to me, then my cook won’t lend it to you either.
"It's not like you haven't eaten before, and you're the eldest princess, so it's not a good idea to come to such a banquet." Chen Xi said with some depression, why do you do nothing but eat?
Chen Xi has a cook at home, and he is a top-notch cook. Chen Ying can cook with quasi-spiritual talent. He is definitely one of the top three chefs in the world, but it is okay to cook a banquet by himself, for so many people. It's absolutely impossible to prepare a formal banquet, and you need to bring a group of helpers.
Because in the past, Chen Ying was always asked to bring the palace cook to make snacks and the like, and the two parties cooperated well, so Chen Xi habitually came to borrow the cook. After all, a large fish weighing several tons with internal gas separated from the body, Chen Xi Even if Ying had special means, it would not be easy for him to handle it by himself.
"You don't have to take me with you to eat delicious food. This is seafood. I sent a yellow croaker from Qingzhou. The transportation fee alone is huge. I want to eat it too. If you don't take me, there will be no cook." Liu Tong was very dissatisfied. said, "I like those things too."
"Okay, although it won't be a private banquet if I bring you with me." Chen Xi said helplessly, "But if you are willing to go to the inner courtyard and stay with the ladies, then that's all I want."
"That's fine, I don't mind this kind of thing anymore." Liu Tong said proudly.
These days, when you have a job, you are determined to make a job. After all, according to the development history of Chinese dynasties, even in the Tang Dynasty, it was two different things for the officials to take care of the food, not to mention that the food was so good, and they didn’t take it with them. Of course Liu Tong himself was not satisfied.
"By the way, who is coming from the Yuan family?" Liu Tong suddenly asked.
"Ju Hu, the son of Ju Shou, usually comes to Chang'an to report. Especially this year, Yehou's principal concubine and concubine are both busy and unable to come." Chen Xi replied casually. Ju Hu is a special commissioner of the Yuan family and has been traveling to Chang'an. Hesi Zhaocheng.
"It's not that I can't come because I have something to do, it's that I don't dare to come." Liu Tong said with a sneer.
Stina successfully built a blast furnace for the Yuan family. The special ability inherited from Celtic, the so-called "wisdom of the magic mirror", this kind of thing that sometimes works but does not work, really repaired it for the Yuan family. A five-square blast furnace.
This is outrageous. Before, everyone judged that the blast furnace of Huayang Smelting Division built by Stina was the same as the blast furnace repaired by Zhao Yun. If there was too much water, add noodles, if there was too much noodles, add water. With the world-breaking strength and amazing The luck was just messed up, and there was no technical content.
As a result, after the new blast furnace was built near Sizhao City, everyone basically realized that Stina was really good at it. The other party looked stupid, but that wasn't really stupid, that was cute!
Therefore, for a period of time, Li You even sighed, saying that he should have been detained if he had known about it, so it is normal that Stina did not come to the meeting this year.
"It's not like he didn't dare to come. In other words, Wen Ru said that it's not really a deduction. He is just a little pity at most." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Actually, the most important thing is that the Yuan family's princess is pregnant, and It’s a boy, and Marquis Ye has a legitimate son.”
"Oh, that's it." Liu Tong pretended that he believed Chen Xi's statement, but in fact, they both knew in their hearts how could Li You be joking, and since he really dunked it, Chen Xi could only persuade him, what's the matter? You also have to lead a team to build a blast furnace before you can go back.
"Speaking of it, the uncle of the Yuan family has passed away." Chen Xi suddenly said. Although it had been kept secret, after the major families stabilized, the Yuan family quickly released the news. They were also afraid that things would change if it was too late.
"In this case, Yehou didn't send someone specially?" Liu Tong said with some surprise, "Are the people of the Yuan family so cruel?"
"It's not that we didn't send someone specifically, it's that Juhu will replace Yehou in all matters in Chang'an. And Yehou himself said that after confirming that Wen was pregnant with his legitimate son, he led his people to the expedition. "Chen Xi is very serious. said.
For so many years, Yuan Tan, except when he personally went out in Central Asia, has been sitting in the rear. Now that he has his legitimate son, Yuan Tan takes the initiative for the first time, and brings Yan Pu, Wen Ji, and many elites with him. Join the Romans in Eastern Europe, preparing to attack a certain mythical area in Northern Europe during the coldest time of winter.
"It's rare that he is actually a relative of the Marquis of Ye.
How many years has it been since the attack? "Liu Tong said somewhat surprised, "What happened?"
"Rome informed us to attack a mythical kingdom. After analysis by both of us, we suspected that it should be one of the sealing cornerstones of the mythical era. Unlike Tianzhou Kingdom, the situation there is very complicated. Once opened, the other party can stand out. Come. "Chen Xi has also received the detailed report from Rome.
In terms of strategic mutual trust, Rome and the Han Dynasty actually did very well. This is also the basis for both sides to trust each other, because many times, if something big happens, Rome and the Han Dynasty will notify each other, even if they do not ask the other side to help. Let the other party be prepared.
Just like this time, about the kangaroo tide in Australia, the Han Dynasty also sent a notice to Rome. At least let Rome know that there was such a thing. If it was missed, there would be someone to support it from behind.
In the same Nordic mythology country, Rome gave the Han Dynasty an official certificate of credence, which was explained in detail. After all, including Rome's own attempt, this was the third time, and the second time with Huangfu Song. , in fact, I missed it.
Earlier, Rome didn't realize that this was another seal cornerstone from the Mythical Age, so they didn't pay attention to those special requirements when they were planning the strategy. Only when they recruited Huangfu Song to be a bodyguard did they realize that there was time for this thing. limited.
As a result, because Rome had penetrated the inside and outside during the first attack, some things inside escaped when the seal weakened. Fortunately, Perennis and Huangfu Song were strong enough, and they directly destroyed all the things that escaped in one wave. **.
But this method did not solve the problem, because the essence of these things is just like the capture of Xiang Liu by the Han Dynasty. It is the form of information released from the mythical era into the form of real achievements. It cannot solve the problem, but also leads to the collapse of the mythical kingdom. Closed again.
However, regardless of whether it is closed or not, those mythical species that rely on the information from the mythical kingdom to naturally reproduce themselves in reality give Huangfu Song and Perennis a great sense of threat.
So much so that the original plan was revised, and the Roman official issued a formal letter of credence hoping that the Han Dynasty would join in the plan to eliminate the human threat.
To put it simply, if the original plan was to rush in and destroy this mythical country to see if there was any advantage, then the current plan is to use a special secret method to send the legion’s information to this mythical country through communication. Remove all the things inside that may be a threat to humans.
It sounds like there is no problem, but unlike Tianzhou Divine Kingdom, this time the information body needs to be connected to the main body. Otherwise, simply releasing information into the mythical kingdom will rely on the mythical kingdom for reorganization. Without connectivity, it will become Once a new group of selves emerges from the Kingdom of Mythology, the problem will be even greater.
Compared with some powerful mythical species, even Huangfu Song and Perennis do not want to fight hundreds of thousands of elites led by people who are exactly the same as themselves, so they must connect their own information to ensure that individuals cannot be copied. sex.
However, because of the need to connect information, this situation is somewhat like a situation where the fantasy soldiers connect their minds. Even if there is a world barrier, once they are killed, the feedback will be enough to keep the soldiers lying down for a month or two. .
This is very serious, so Rome asked the Yuan family to send more people over. After all, they have gone in once before, and they know to some extent that there are many difficulties inside. Although Rome alone is not invincible, there are too many directions in which Rome has to invest now. Consider many aspects.
Besides, when it comes to protecting human civilization in Northern Europe, if Rome is the only one left here, it is their duty to do so. But now there is still a Han Dynasty, so you guys should come and work on this matter that concerns the great interests of mankind.
After Liu Tong received the credentials, he forwarded them to Liu Bei and Chen Xi. After reading them, the two agreed. What Rome said in the credentials was correct - as one of the two brilliance of protecting human civilization, you are just right. There are people here, so let's go together.
Apart from anything else, this righteousness is still very sufficient. Liu Bei and Chen Xi discussed it and felt that Rome was right. The beacon of human civilization and the protective barrier of human light can indeed be effective in this kind of thing. Okay, Yuan family, it’s your turn.
Never mind what Yuan Tan thought when he received the news.
, but this time Yuan Tan really paid his dues and even went up personally. There was nothing he could do, there was a lot of trouble in Northern Europe!
