Chapter 45 There Is No Free Lunch


Looking at Lu Lingju holding the bamboo telescope and fiddling with it, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile slightly, since the glass came out, it naturally can't just be used for luxury goods and making money, the significance of a telescope in the military, especially what it represents in the era of cold weapons, is naturally self-evident.

"This thing should not be passed on."

Liu Xie solemnly looked at Lu Lingju and said, the hole card is only when the enemy does not know what it is, it is called the hole card, if you know, no matter how powerful it is, it can only be a clear card, with defense, even if his opponent has no way to make it, the role that this thing can play will be greatly reduced.

Although as long as it is invested, it will be leaked for a long time, but this time, the longer it drags on, the greater the advantage for Liu Xie, and the world will be unified in the future, and it can also be used for navigation and exploration, in short, it has a lot of effects, so although it has been created, Liu Xie has already issued a gag order, and he doesn't want any news about this kind of thing to spread.

"Hmm."

Lu Lingju nodded solemnly, after the curiosity and joy at the beginning, as the tiger girl of the gate, she could also think of the importance of this thing, with this thing, standing on the top floor of this Chengming Palace, it was a bit ridiculous to say that thousands of miles away, but things within a hundred steps could be subtle, and no matter how far away, although it was not so clear, it could also be seen roughly.

If you erect a high platform or find some high mountains or other places to watch from this object during the battle, I am afraid that you can see the layout of the enemy's large camp.

"I don't want this glass to be so useful" Some reluctantly returned this treasure called the clairvoyant mirror to Liu Xie, Lu Lingju said with some amazement.

Liu Xie leaned against the wall, looking down on Chang'an, and just nodded lightly when he heard the words, for others and even the entire era, this small telescope naturally has a very important significance, and it can even be said that once this thing comes out, it will largely change the way of fighting in the future, but for him, it is only under the right circumstances, he pushed it so easily, the glass can be mass-produced, and it is just a matter of casually saying two words to make this kind of concave and convex mirror.

Fine salt, glass, cement, Han Xing plough will also appear in paper books, printing, he has unknowingly, began to artificially promote this era spanning a long period of time, will the Han because of his own appearance, and complete the industrial transformation thousands of years early, this is not something he wants to think, decades of life to think about hundreds of years later, Liu Xie is not so idle.

Leave some seeds, as for how far it can develop, it depends on what future generations do, he doesn't even have descendants now, it's a bit too ridiculous to think about this.

It can be seen that Lu Lingju likes this thing very much, and Liu Xie casually handed her the thing that the telescope should now be called a clairvoyant mirror, looking at the girl playing with it carefully like a treasure, Liu Xie couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, since this kind of thing has been created, there will be more in the future, and the workmanship will be more exquisite, and his set of theories has been popularized in the Ministry of Industry.

In these years, it is the barbaric era of science and technology, and once the cage of thought is broken, even Liu Xie himself can't say how much imagination and productivity people can exert themselves.

After staying in the attic for a while with his wife, who is still only in name only, Liu Xie left the Chengming Palace, a nine-zhang high palace, and it would take some time to come down from the top floor.

It will not be long before the New Year, and in recent times, the people have been idle, but for the incumbent officials in Chang'an and even Guanzhong, this period of the year before is the busiest time.

The newly established Metropolitan Procuratorate has to supervise the account books of each county, and each county must also make accounts of a year's taxes and expenditures and submit them to the imperial court, but the imperial court here, but it is necessary to count the income and expenses of the entire Guanzhong, Xiliang, Hetao and Sili area, and it is very busy, it seems that only Liu Xie has been very idle recently, and he went to Jingzhaoyin two days ago, and went up to Ding Chong, and down to the Yacha are busy with his feet not touching the ground, although he will not see Liu Xie, such a big living person, but it can be seen that he is really busy.

After that, I went to a few yamen, and they were all in the same situation, and the only one who was idle was probably only the Tingwei Mansion.

When passing by the Yilan Palace, Liu Xie unexpectedly saw Cai Yan's frame parked outside, and looked at several maids of Cai's mansion guarding the door with some surprise: "When did everyone Cai come?"

” As he grew older, and Liu Xie's authority increased, it was no longer good to call him his sister as before, whether in public or in private.

In the past, when he was smaller, he could still be regarded as cute, but now a seven-foot man feels uncomfortable when he thinks about it.

"Back to Your Majesty, Miss has been here for more than half an hour."

A maid of Cai's Mansion said respectfully: "The slave maid went to pass the word." ” "No need."

Liu Xie waved his hand, he was just passing by, and there was still something to do, so there was no need to go to see him.

Liu Xie went straight to the side hall of Weiyang Palace, and Su Idiot, the principal of the Su family in Chang'an, was already waiting there, and when he saw Liu Xie coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Sit."

Liu Xie sat straight on the main seat of the side hall, and stretched out his hand to signal Su Idiot to sit down: "Today is not an informal occasion, Su Qing does not need to be polite. ” "Huh" Su Idiot replied respectfully and sat upright.

"There is a result" Liu Xie took the tea cup presented by Wei Zhong, took a sip, and looked at Su Idiot and said.

"Yes."

Su Idiot nodded bitterly: "Your Majesty, in this matter, someone is making an obstacle from it, and the head of the family has already intended it" Liu Xie waved his hand, interrupted Su Idiot to continue speaking, shook his head and sighed: "Su Qing, you should know that I am not interested in these processes, what I want is the result, the Su family is unwilling to move into Chang'an, I can understand why the head of the Su family has this decision, but I also hope that you can understand what kind of huge profits these things researched by the Ministry of Industry represent, if the Su family refuses to move, how can I believe in your Su family, I don't want to spend a lot of money to research something, but in the end it will fund the enemy." ” "Your Majesty is very true."

Su Idiot nodded bitterly and opened his mouth, although for Liuli, Liu Xie did not directly hand it over to the Zhen family like refined salt, and the manufacturing process was still limited to the Ministry of Industry, but even so, if he could get the right to sell Liuli, Su Idiot knew very well the profits contained in it.

In addition, seeing that Chang'an and even Guanzhong are thriving and prosperous, Liu Xie's temperament is becoming more and more thick, and the weather is becoming stronger and stronger.

Among them, there is naturally Zhang Shiping's credit, but Su Shuang knows better, Su Shuang wants to sell at a price, when today's son has the intention to strengthen business, and the Su family has a large number of channels for selling horses, Su Shuang hopes to be like the Zhen family, become a pivotal family on the side of the imperial court, naturally does not want to be thrown too early to make people see clearly.

But now it's different from the past, I don't know how many wealthy businessmen have sharpened their heads and want to get in and get a piece of the pie, although the Su family has a strong relationship network, but others are not bad, even if one is not good, two or three combined, is it not as good as it is not even better than the Han now has its own horse farm, and the western Xianbei has taken refuge in the whole west, and the west of Yinshan is regarded as the horse farm of the imperial court, at this time, it is really not the time for the Su family to put on a score.

For Su Idiot, Liu Xie is quite satisfied, he is capable, he is measured, and the most important thing is that he can see himself clearly, not too inflated, and has the unique sleekness of a businessman, but it is not Zhang Shiping's pure tactfulness and mercenary, and when necessary, he can still keep his bottom line.

Therefore, when choosing the bearer of the glaze trade at that time, Liu Xie's first consideration was not Zhang Shiping, who was the first to serve him, but the Su family.

How is Su Shuangqi, Liu Xie has never dealt with him, I don't know, but Su idiot is very satisfied with Liu Xie, so he is more willing to give him a chance, but unfortunately, after all, he is not as experienced as Zhang Shiping, and he was ruthlessly put on the spot by the old guy.

"The matter of Liuli, I have been handed over to Zhang Shiping, this matter, Chrysostom Yuyan, it is impossible to change again."

Liu Xie looked at Su Idiot and smiled: "What I want is very simple, nothing more than the word loyalty, I want to make a profit here, but I am not willing to hand over loyalty, in this world, if there is really such a good thing, I also want to do it." ” Hearing this, Su Idiot nodded a little bitterly, now the three major wealthy merchants of the Royal Commercial Bank, the Zhen family has won the salt transport, and now it has faintly become the world's first wealthy businessman, taking the opportunity of the salt transport, whether it is family wealth or connections, it is even no less than any family, and the Zhang family has now obtained the glass trade, and it may not be much worse than the Zhen family in the future, and now there is only one Su family left, but because of Su Shuang's thought, he missed such a big opportunity, every time he thinks of this, Su Idiot feels very uncomfortable.

Looking at Su Idiot's appearance, Liu Xie didn't continue to speak, and if he continued, he couldn't help but have some sense of discord, the family and the country are all over the world, in this era, unless he is swept away by the family like Qin Pei, even if the family is not good, the clan is still the first in his bones.

"There will be more opportunities in the future, maybe when the world is too peaceful, I can use your Su family with confidence at that time, but now" Liu Xie looked at Su Idiot's frustrated expression and smiled slightly: "But it's not that there is no opportunity." ” "Uh" Su Idiot looked at Liu Xie in a daze, then reacted, bowed down and said, "If Your Majesty sends anything, Su Idiot will swear to die in return." ” "I just want to know, now that the Su family is in Hebei, how many resources can be used, if I want to send someone to set up some shops in Hebei, I don't know if the Su family may help me" Liu Xie looked at Su Idiot and said with a smile. t1706231537:
