The Best Fake Eunuch

It was nearly noon, and Duanmu Nanfeng immediately ordered someone to hold a banquet.

He ordered a nephew who was in charge of the family to accompany Zhuge Xiaosheng and the three of them in person, and told them to treat them warmly, and I would not obey anyone who was not drunk!

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

The aura of a wealthy family is as expected, Xiao Chen looked around and couldn't help admiring.

But I saw beautiful trees verdant and luxuriant, the garden was full of strange flowers, the rockery stood up, and a white line zigzagged from the depths of the flowers and trees and fell under the crevice of the stone.

The flying towers on both sides are inserted in the air, and the carved and embroidered sills are hidden among the trees in the valley. From a distance, they look like castles in the air, a fairyland on earth.

The breeze is coming slowly, and the flowers are full of fragrance.

The pavilion is facing a pool of clear water, with several meandering streams bubbling, all of which flow into it, and the stones are crisp, like the ringing of a bell.

But suddenly a dozen fairies with fluttering robes walked out of the forest, holding jade plates in their hands, filled with all kinds of delicacies, wine and delicacies.

But it turned out that it was not a fairy, but the one who served the food...

By the way, there are many dishes that Xiao Chen has never seen before, let alone eat them!

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

"Master Xiao, you don't want to talk nonsense. If those officials in the court know about it, you will make a lot of noise!" Duanmu Nanfeng said with a smile.

These words are quite interesting, he is not afraid of the emperor's blame, but he is afraid of the officials participating?

That means you don't care at all.

"If I hadn't come here in person, I really didn't know that there really was a fairyland in the world. I see that the life of Uncle Guo is almost like a fairy." After Xiao Chen sighed, he began to envy.

"You all know that my Duanmu family is a wealthy one. If you are frugal, people will say that you are pretending to be so extravagant. They have nothing to say." Duanmu Nanfeng sighed.

Seeing Xiao Chen walking all the way sweating on his forehead, he beckoned to a young man in Tsing Yi: "The weather is hot, hurry up and spread the rain!"

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

You kid also said you are not a fairy?

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

There was only a sound of Kerala in the pool, and four huge faucets slowly protruded out of the water! As the dragon's mouth opened and closed, streams of water sprayed out towards the pavilion!

But it turns out that the four dragons have organs hidden in their bodies to draw water through bamboo turbines. The principle is similar to the water dragons on the boat, and they need someone to operate in the dark.

But the effect is the same as that of rain... how did they come up with it!

After the food and wine were served, Duanmu Nanfeng retreated the crowd, and bowed down to Xiao Chen.

"Uncle Guo, you are..." The flustered Xiao Chen hastily stretched out his hand to help.

"It was a public gift just now, but this time it's my personal gift. My younger brother has admired Brother Xiao for a long time! Brother Xiao said that I am a god, but I think you are a god! If you are not a god, how can you write such exquisitely beautiful words?" Here comes the poem!" Duanmu Nanfeng insisted on bowing to Xiao Chen three times before getting up.

And the name of him has also changed, every time I call him Brother Xiao, he is so kind!

It would be more cordial if you call me brother-in-law, ahem.

"Sister, that person is very cold. I have never heard her praise anyone since I was a child, but you are the only one who is very heartbroken for Brother Xiao! In the letter, she asked me to find the monk from Jilongshan to have a look at you." , see if you are really a god descending to earth?" Duanmu Nanfeng laughed before speaking.

"The imperial concubine is the fairy in the sky, I'm just a reckless man in the world, but I don't need to bother with some god monk to tell my fortune, there's no shame in showing my face." Xiao Chen also laughed.

The two laughed and felt that they were getting closer to each other.

That's what it means to be friends at first sight.

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, as a young man, he can independently support a huge family business, how can he be an ordinary person?

The two chatted for a while, and both felt that they were very chatty with each other.

Although Duanmu Nanfeng is young, his knowledge is quite extensive, and he is the uncle of the imperial court, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, but he is full of inappropriateness.

Some of the advanced ideas that came out of the mouth coincided with Xiao Chen from modern times.

For a moment, Xiao Chen almost thought that this kid also traveled through time like him.

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

Duanmu Nanfeng actually said that he had thought so too, but although there are many benefits to doing so, there is a big disadvantage, that is, it will cause many textile workers to lose their jobs.

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

Silk was originally a luxury that the rich loved but the poor could not afford.

If its value plummets due to lower costs, then the rich don’t like it, but the poor still can’t afford it, which will eventually lead to a backlog of products that are unsalable.

However, Xiao Chen felt that this was not a problem. Silk was also very popular in other places in the world. It was unsalable in the country, but it could be sold abroad. Wouldn’t it be good to earn money from foreigners?

Duanmu Nanfeng said that this is of course good. In fact, he also wanted to engage in international trade a long time ago, but he couldn't implement it if he had no intention of doing so.

Now, not to mention the restlessness in Dazhou, the country is also in turmoil, and the Silk Road is not smooth, how do you transport it?

The best way is to ship by sea, but at present our Dazhou's navigation industry is not well developed. Although there are quite a few ships, they are all operating along the coast and cannot go overseas at all.

Besides, the pirates along the coast are rampant now, and the newly established Dazhou Navy can't wipe them out at all, so it's impossible.

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

The two chatted more and more speculatively and in-depth, and before they knew it, it gradually became a matter of state affairs.

"The emperor just issued a decree to increase the money and grain of Jiangnan County by 30%. Needless to say, he wants to use troops to fight a war. If there is a war, it will be over? Brother Xiao, just wait and see, within three years, Jiangnan County will not be able to support it." Let's go down."

"After years of fighting, Jiangnan County has exported countless money and food, which has long been unbearable. It is time to recuperate, but the emperor still wants to squeeze it out. Does it have to destroy Jiangnan before giving up?"

Duanmu Nanfengjun blushed slightly, and he didn't know whether it was because of the drunkenness or anger in his heart.

But he can complain to Xiao Chen like this, which shows that he doesn't regard Xiao Chen as an outsider.

Otherwise, just relying on these few words is enough to send him to prison.

"Your Majesty has no other choice. If those bandits and bandits are not wiped out, there will be no peace in the Great Zhou Dynasty." Xiao Chen said something fair for Li Wanjiang.

Duanmu Nanfeng shook his head repeatedly.

"What brother Xiao said is different. If you want peace in the world, you can't just rely on fighting. Hehe, in fact, as long as the common people live and work in peace and contentment, who would oppose Da Zhou?"

"It's like Jiangnan County. Although not everyone is rich, at least the common people can eat enough, so no one will think of rebelling. If someone dares to invade, there is no need for the court to send troops. The common people will beat them away with hoes. Already!"
