The big man has a living father

Chapter 226 (Big Chapter) Grand Council

Bowang Garden.

Guard booth.

Jiang Buyi came here with a lot of gifts.

Liu Ju, who was dressed simply, laughed when he saw Jiang Buyi.

Jiang Buyi put down the gift and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your courtesy!"

It can almost be said that three years have passed.

Three years later, Liu Ju was thirteen years old.

If Liu Ju was an elementary school student three years ago, then now, the dense sweat hairs above his lips prove that he is no longer that child.

Liu Ju had good genes and ate better than ordinary people, so he was already 1.7 meters tall at the age of thirteen.

However, this did not prevent Jiang Buyi from looking at him the same way he did three years ago.

Seeing Jiang Buyi actually performing this great ceremony, Liu Ju stepped forward and patted Jiang Buyi on the shoulder: "You kid, you're still using this trick."

"What did you bring?"

Jiang Buyi took them out one by one: "This is abalone with a soft center. It has to be abalone that is bigger than the palm of your hand. After cleaning and boiling, it is dried and then stored for three years. Only then will the center become soft."

Liu Ju had seen abalone before, but had never eaten it much because it was difficult to cook.

Jiang Buyi: "Wu Hou invented a new way to eat it, and it tastes delicious."

As he spoke, he took out shark fins and other things, all of which were food.

Finally, there is a small bamboo basket filled with rice.

"This is the rice I grew in my own farm over there. I heard that many people in Chang'an have started eating rice, so I brought a bushel of it here."

Liu Ju was very satisfied and felt that it was not in vain that he had accepted this student.

Liu Ju took the things, looked out the window behind him, and chuckled, "You have to keep them safe and take them back home later."

Jiang Buyi subconsciously asked, "It's been so long, but I haven't asked you yet. What do you do in Bowangyuan?"

Liu Ju was bent over, not even putting down the things he was carrying. He turned around and looked at Jiang Buyi, stunned.

Jiang Buyi hurriedly said, "It's not because I'm curious or want to know, it's because I'm used to staying in Panyu. No matter who I meet, I want to find out his background."

Liu Ju: "Oh, this palace was under my father's management when it was built. Later, I often came here to study and meet some powerful people."

Jiang Buyi nodded: "Great! If you can get to know more great people, it will be very important for your future life. Your father actually allowed you to come here to broaden your horizons. You must be considered an amazing person in Chang'an City."

Liu Ju smiled: "That's right."

Jiang Buyi: "There is another question. Every time I see the teacher in the past three years, I have been thinking about one thing. I don't even know the teacher's name."

Liu Ju thought for a moment and said, "Oh, my name is Cut Rabbit."

The traditional Chinese character for Liu is Maojindao, and Mao means rabbit. Rabbit is on the golden knife, so it means cutting the rabbit.

Jiang Buyi: "It sounds like an interesting name. Why is it called this?"

Liu Ju: "Because... you have to ask the person who gave me the name."

Jiang Buyi thought it was okay.

Nowadays, Jiang Buyi has developed the habit of doing more and asking less. If he had not been thinking about this problem for the past three years, Jiang Buyi would not have asked.

But since I’m still asking after three years, my concentration is still a little lacking.

Liu Ju asked in return: "What have you learned from following Wu Hou in the past few years? You are not just driving a carriage every day, are you?"

The most important thing Jiang Buyi learned in these three years is humility.

Lord Wu Hou hung the royal seal of Nanyue on his waist and often said to himself, "Oh, I am not familiar with Nanyue."

Jiang Buyi: "I didn't learn anything."

Liu Ju banged the table, angry that he did not fight back.

What if you have learned more advanced driving skills?

Liu Ju sighed and said, "Well, it seems that you are still too stupid. You can't learn anything under Wu Hou. If I don't teach you, you will be doomed."

"As the saying goes, 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.'"

Jiang Buyi wanted to say that this sentence came from Huainanzi, and it was not a common saying, but a scientific argument, but he held back and didn't say it.

The second thing Jiang Buyi learned was not to talk too much and not to be a know-it-all unless the other party paid him.

Giving advice to your own master is even more contrary to Tiangang.

Liu Ju continued: "I don't know how to fish, so I can't teach others how to fish, but this sentence can be applied to you and you can change it."

"Change it to, it's better to build a car in a thousand days than to drive it in a thousand days."

Jiang Buyi: “?”

Liu Ju put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "At present, there are five car companies in the Han Dynasty, namely Changan brand in Changan, Great Wall brand in Huaishuo, Xiaomi brand in Longxi, Dayun brand in Qiancheng, and Dongfeng brand in Hekou."

"It is now clear that the development of any place cannot be separated from transportation."

“Whether it’s a train, a ship, or an ordinary boat, no matter how it’s transported, in the end, from the distribution point to the store to the warehouse, or from the warehouse to the individual’s hands, it has to be transported by horse-drawn carriage.”

“And carriages are extremely profitable.”

"As far as I know, Cao Xiang, the Marquis of Pingyang, is actively researching carriages."

Jiang Buyi became interested: "Oh?"

Liu Ju: "Marquis Pingyang is very smart. He started raising horses six years ago. The transportation volume in the northern border of the Han Dynasty has increased dramatically, and the demand for horses has also increased dramatically. He has already made a lot of money."

"But raising a horse and shipping it to Chang'an to sell it would only earn you 500 yuan, while making a high-tech carriage would earn you about 40,000 yuan."

"So, it's normal for Pingyang Hou to set his sights on car manufacturing."

"It's too far to the Western Regions in the future, and it's difficult to cross the Pamir Mountains. We will definitely need a car factory north of the Pamir Mountains."

“America still needs it.”

"Also, the Yangtze River is being developed now, so we need one near Kuaiji County as well."

"We need three more large car factories alone. If we have small car factories, we can support an unknown number of people."

Liu Ju raised his eyebrows: "What do you think? This is definitely a good way to make a living, right? As long as you learn well, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Jiang Buyi originally wanted to say that Wu Hou prohibited any advanced technology from leaving the territory of the Han Central Kingdom.

After thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

Even if we don't go out, we will need transport vehicles to go out, and in that case, we will still need production.

Liu Ju: "First, let me ask you, why, except for the car factories of Huo's Technology, most cars have two wheels instead of four wheels?"

Jiang Buyi certainly knew this: "Because of the differential."

As a driver, how could I not know this?

Liu Ju: "Wrong! Differentials have existed since the Zhou Dynasty. There were four-wheeled carriages in the Zhou Dynasty. However, whether it is towing or using a differential, it will slow down the vehicle."

"It's because the speed is not fast enough, so the differential is a burden."

"Cars are getting faster and faster because of the emergence of new mechanical mechanisms and even bearings, which reduce friction when running, so the speed increases. That's why differentials are needed."

Jiang Buyi thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Liu Ju: "Then I will teach you the principle of differential and bearing manufacturing today."

Liu Ju whispered, "The bearing manufacturing method is only known by Luo Sijie's team at the research institute, and the other method is the one I developed. Don't tell anyone else."

Jiang Buyi: "Ah? Or I'd better not listen. Luo Sijie's method must have a patent. Yesterday, His Majesty and Lord Wu Hou discussed and decided to enact the Patent Protection Law. Teacher, go and apply for a patent for the method you have researched!"

Liu Ju: "Do you think I don't want to? I applied for it, and they said my method is the same as Luo Sijie's patented method, and the difference is no more than 20%. A bigger difference is needed to apply for a patent."

Jiang Buyi rolled his eyes.

It turns out that this is a technology that can be heard but cannot be used.

However, Jiang Buyi was still very curious about how bearings were made.

You know, after the bearings came out, they instantly replaced a large number of steering mechanisms on the carriages, which directly made the chassis of the carriages much smoother and faster.

Now, the speed of frictional loss of horse-drawn carriages has basically been studied to its limit.

Or perhaps Jiang Buzhi believed that research in this area had come to an end.

Liu Ju smiled and said, "There are four methods."

"A small hammer knocks, a big hammer presses, ice and fire."

Jiang Buyi counted on his fingers: "What about the other one?"

Liu Ju: "Ice and fire are two different methods, and the best effect is achieved when used together."

Liu Ju explained that there are four methods in simple terms.

First, hit it with a hammer and squeeze it in.

The second one is to press it in with added force, which is suitable for assembly with steam engines in factories.

Third, heat the jacket.

Fourth, freeze the beads.

It would be even better if you could freeze the beads while you heat the jacket, with no effort at all.

Jiang Buyi was puzzled after hearing this: "Then why is your patent the same as theirs? Did they also use four methods to register the patent together?"

Liu Ju burst into tears. "What four methods? This is just one method. The most precise bearings require four methods to be assembled. Ordinary precision and quality bearings cannot be used on a heavy-duty machine like a carriage."

Liu Ju looked at Jiang Buyi's sudden realization and was a little annoyed: "But don't worry."

"Although the patent for bearing manufacturing has been registered by someone else, the worst that can happen is that we can just buy their stock. They are not used much anyway. As long as we can come up with our own structure like the differential, we can make our own chassis system."

"You're fine."

Liu Ju drew a carriage with four wheels.

"When turning, if the front wheel turns, then the rear wheel will follow the track, and only one wheel will have the same speed as the front wheel, and this outer wheel will be dragged."

"In order to solve this problem and make the left and right wheels the same, we need to disconnect the link between the two wheels and make a rotating axle that can rotate independently."

Jiang Buyi looked aside and nodded: "I understand."

Liu Ju: "But how can we be sure that the speed will be the same after disconnection?"

"Here on the left, add a new connecting rod. When the wheel rotates, the axle rotates. The axle drives the power shaft to rotate around the axle. How do you use the power shaft to drive the right wheel to rotate?"

Jiang Buyi thought for a moment and said, "Simple. Just add a cross structure to the structure on the right."

In this way, the power shaft on the left pushes the cross on the right and it can rotate.

When there is a differential, the power shaft idles between the crosses, and when there is positive contact, the power shaft pushes the crosses to rotate.

In this way, the rotation speed is the same.

Liu Ju: "But, in this case, the left wheel will keep spinning close to the ground, while the right wheel will be pushed around in a circle, so it will be intermittent, so..."

Jiang Buyi: "The cross plus the rice character."

Liu Ju nodded: "Smart, but if the speed is too fast, the pauses will be magnified, and the cross structure will also feel jerky."

"so……"

Jiang Buyi pinched his chin and said, "Why not just change the crosshairs into gears... But after changing to the secondary gear, each tooth won't be enough and the power shaft will derail!"

Liu Ju: "It's clever, but there aren't many clever ones. Wouldn't it be better to design the power shaft into another secondary wheel-shaped shaft?"

The gear tooth spacing is not enough to cause the power shaft to disengage, but when the teeth between the gears disengage and the next tooth engages, isn't that normal?

Jiang Buyi suddenly realized: "Ah? Oh? It seems to be right! This is the differential?!"

Liu Ju sneered: "How stupid! Come, let me teach you. The latest structure I invented is much more complicated than this. Not to mention horse-drawn carriages, even if diesel steam engines become popular in the future and are made into diesel-powered cars, my structure can also be used. At that time, it will be the time for your car factory to stand out!"

Jiang Buyi was so smart that he could understand the operating principles of the differential with just a few words. Even if he studied it more himself, he should be able to make a practical differential.

But how can research be as fast as inheritance?
Liu Ju talked about the structure of his differential.

Jiang Buyi also listened carefully.

After Liu Ju finished speaking, he didn't care whether Jiang Buyi understood or not, and laughed with his hands on his hips: "This carriage will definitely be made faster than the one made by the research institute. It must be given a good name, a resounding name. Do you think it is more suitable to call it Mercedes-Benz or BMW?"

Jiang Buyi: "..."

Before he could say anything, Liu Ju interrupted him: "Maybe we won't use horses in the future, so let's just call it Benz."

Jiang Buyi: "Teacher, you don't want to make a living for me, you just want to build a car factory and realize your design."

Jiang Buyi was very familiar with Liu Ju's expression. An Guo Shao Ji and Zhong Jun often looked like that.

Liu Ju was not angry after being exposed: "That's still for you to make a lot of money. I provide the technology and you manage it. With my technology, I can replace anyone and it will still work, right?"

Outside the window, Liu Che and Huo Hai heard this and turned to walk out.

Liu Che: "I heard from Yang Liancheng that the prince has a high level of attainment in mechanics."

"The prince also wants to study electricity, but electricity is too dangerous, so I have strictly prohibited the prince from touching electrical equipment."

Huo Hai nodded: "The prince is of noble status, so it is indeed not suitable."

Liu Che: "According to the rules, he is old enough to get married."

"But according to the current research of the Academy of Sciences, it seems that he is not yet an adult and should not get married so early. The Han Dynasty has begun to advocate getting married later. So, what should the prince do now?"

The promotion of late marriage is actually aimed at reducing the existence of child labor.

There is a long logical chain here, but to put it simply, the principle is to make people realize that people under the age of sixteen are not adults.

If everyone realizes that children under the age of sixteen are minors, child labor can be greatly reduced.

Because then a lot of people won't think, 'You should be the breadwinner of the family, find a class to take.'

However, if the number of child laborers is reduced but not matched with a proper education system, there will be a large number of young people on the streets who only play and do nothing.

Once this kind of thing becomes the norm, then things like 'hippies', block culture, and gangsters are bound to emerge.

As for this person, it will be a problem if he takes on heavy responsibilities too early, but it will also be a problem if he plays all day. We must strike a balance between looseness and tightness.

So, when people say "You were originally a worker, but you just happened to study", no one knows the actual meaning of education. The essence of education is not to make everyone a great talent, but to prevent most people from becoming a social hazard.

Therefore, the top priority of the new business reform is the nationwide promotion of science, education, culture and health.

The new business reforms must now be fully implemented.

So Liu Che looked at Huo Hai and said, "I will let Li Cai retire and return home, and you will be the prime minister. I will let Zhang Tang be the imperial doctor. At the same time, I will establish the Minister of Agriculture, and they will all be the Three Dukes, with Sima Xiangru as the first one."

Huo Hai was a little surprised. The title of Grand Minister of Agriculture had not appeared before, but was called Minister of Agriculture, one of the Nine Ministers.

Even if it is changed to Grand Minister of Agriculture, it should be similar.

But now, Liu Che wanted to replace the responsibilities of the Minister of Economy with the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture.

The reason, of course, was that Liu Che did not want to abandon agriculture, but wanted to appoint ministers in charge of the economy. It was important to understand that the empire's top priority was agriculture and having enough food to eat.

Therefore, it was equivalent to forcibly elevating the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture to the rank of Three Dukes.

As for why it was Sima Xiangru, the reason is simple.

In fact, among those recruited by Liu Che, who had just ascended to the throne, Sima Xiangru was the one with the lowest achievement, and many others were made marquises. But among this generation, Sima Xiangru was the one who understood economics the best and was the best at making money.

But it didn't happen at the right time.

Now is a good time, but Sima Xiangru is getting older.

It's finally time to make use of your remaining energy.

Huo Hai: "Your Majesty, is it possible to let Sima Xiangru be the prime minister and let me be the Minister of Agriculture, and change the Minister of Agriculture to the head of the Nine Ministers?"

The head of the Nine Ministers should have been the Tianguan, that is, the one in charge of the Ministry of Personnel.

It stands to reason that the power of the Ministry of Personnel should be greater than that of the three officials, which seem to have no significant power. In fact, this is not the case, because the emperor wants to grasp the power of personnel, so the personnel power of the Ministry of Personnel is downgraded.

But even if its power was downgraded, the Ministry of Personnel was still in the first place in the second echelon and firmly sat at the head of the Nine Ministers.

But now, things are different.

Because of the emergence of the imperial examination system and the complexity of the new learning, the Ministry of Personnel (Taizai) was further downgraded.

Because some rights were taken away from Dazai, his power became even smaller.

Following Huo Hai's suggestion, Liu Che had long been prepared to replace the ministers with ministries, but not six or nine ministries, but many, at least a dozen or twenty, with more to come as needed.

The decentralization of power is conducive to economic development.

Now, Huo Hai doesn't want to be the prime minister.

Wu Hou? Prime Minister? Sacrifice your life, right?

Huo Hai just wanted to burn some incense for the prime minister, and didn't want to build a Wuhou Temple and have people burn incense for him.

Huo Hai's face turned black when he thought that three hundred years later, Zhuge Liang would burn incense for himself in the Wuhou Temple and sigh, "Wuhou was a great talent, but unfortunately he died of overwork."

Liu Che was also thinking about whether it would be a good idea to let Huo Hai become prime minister so early.

If he is allowed to be in power for thirty years, wouldn't he become a fake emperor or the executive vice emperor?
What if he serves for fifteen years and then retires?
Or should I serve for ten years and then organize a parliament like Li Cai did?
Li Cai can organize a parliament to go, but Huo Hai is not suitable.

Because the people in the parliament naturally support Huo Hai, they regard Huo Hai as a god.

When others say that someone is regarded as a god, it is just flattery and nonsense, but these people really regard Huo Hai as the God of Wealth.

In this way, the parliament will be rigid and may even suppress the court meetings in the future.

Wouldn't that be rebellion against Tiangang?

Liu Che still remembered that Huo Hai had deliberately demonstrated how to take over the Kingdom of Nanyue in order to make everyone wary of rich businessmen.

It can be used, but not abused.

You can let it go, but you can’t let it go.

You can believe it, but you can't trust it blindly.

Therefore, whether he likes it or not, Huo Hai cannot organize a parliament.

The most honor left for Huo Hai was organizing court meetings.

Then the position of prime minister would come to an end.

Or, fifteen years later, when Huo Hai was thirty-seven years old, he would be named Duke of Xia and let him go to Daxia?

Liu Che: "You said we should take Dayuan first, what do you think of Daxia?"

Huo Hai's eyes turned cold: "This place must be completely transformed, otherwise it will become a big problem."

Imperial Cemetery.

Sometimes you have to believe in feudal superstitions.

Liu Che: "Oh? How to transform it?"

In Huo Hai's mind, there is only one way to solve the problem of the Imperial Cemetery.

No empire can enter this place, and will be defeated if it does.

It’s because there are not enough people.

If this place is full of outsiders, what's the point of calling it an imperial graveyard?

So how can we make sure that this place is full of outsiders?

Send someone with strong fertility to the past.

Who?
Huo Hai: "King Liu Sheng of Zhongshan, given his fertility, as long as he is made King of Daxia, within fifty years, Daxia will have at least several thousand nobles with the surname Liu. Through their marriages, they will have won over at least tens of thousands of people, forming a strong Han family that will form the ruling class. It cannot be more stable."

Liu Che originally wanted to ask Huo Hai whether he was willing to go to Daxia to be a vassal, but before he asked, Huo Hai arranged Liu Sheng for Daxia.

Liu Che thought about it and decided to go back and think about it carefully before making a decision.

"The parliament is about to be held. Do you want to attend?"

Huo Hai was interested in this: "I'll go take a look."

The parliament’s monthly grand meeting has been held forty times, but Huo Hai has never attended a single one.

Now that I'm back, I must go there for sure.

The key is that Huo Hai needs to have a detailed understanding of the current industrial scale of the Han Dynasty so as to determine the next development direction.

……

Parliament Day.

The people of Chang'an City were all paying attention to this day.

It has become the norm for the Grand Council to be held regularly.

On this day, people who usually fight hard in the malls to bargain madly with others for five big bucks will dress up.

Because the parliament represents new business reforms and new commercial industries, the clothes they wear are mainly newly launched styles.

At the beginning, everyone had different clothes to wear.

Even the previous Speaker, Liu Sheng, enjoyed wearing jeans and was very proud of wearing them. He would ride a tall horse all the way to the parliament on every parliamentary day.

The current parliament is built next to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is the original Chang'an City.

Originally, to the right of the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City were the Prime Minister's Residence and the Armory, and next to them was the neighborhood. In history, these would have been demolished and rebuilt into the Minguang Palace.

But now that Liu Che was so rich, how could he care about such a small place? Wouldn't it be petty to build a palace there?

Although the Minguang Palace was larger than the Forbidden City in later generations, Liu Che looked down on it.

So after the demolition, the parliament was built.

This is a good thing. To the left of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the Weiyang Palace, where court meetings are often held, and to the right is the parliament.

If there is any emergency, a meeting can be held at the same time and they can still communicate with each other.

All the elected members of parliament entered the road from various places in the new and old cities and then came to the inner city.

On this day, people doing business on this busy avenue were all keeping their eyes on the avenue.

I thought that one day I would be able to enter parliament.

You know, the parliament has discussed and promoted many resolutions so far.

For example, recently, the parliament has been frantically discussing whether ordinary people should be allowed to eat lamb.

It can be said that the whole Chang'an, and even the whole Han Dynasty, is paying attention to this matter.

This is so important, save the dog's life!

The dog has given so much to the man. It has to hunt and be eaten, and its skin has to be used to keep warm.

Now there are multiple sharing points.

However, some people think that if ordinary people can eat mutton, sheep will definitely destroy the ecology of the north and south of the desert. Although the yellow wind in Journey to the West is fake, once the north of the desert is destroyed, the yellow wind will really move south.

This matter is under discussion.

Of course, it was Liu Che who brought this matter up for discussion.

Why does it cause such a big controversy?
That’s because although wheat and rice have been harvested, it is not yet time to harvest corn.

If corn is harvested and the yield per mu is reported, no one will ever discuss the issue of unscrupulous sheep farming destroying the grass in Mobei.

This is because the sheep we eat are only raised in the south of the desert, and at most, they have to be sent to be fed with grain just as they reach adulthood.

This session, the Speaker is Prince of Lu Liu Guang.

It is not that only members of the royal family can be Speaker, but that Liu Che likes to choose them as Speaker.

As for the senators, they are also very representative at present.

The military representatives have always been Gongsun He and Gongsun Ao, among whom Gongsun He is a relative of Wei and Huo.

The court representatives are Li Cai and Zhang Tang. Li Cai may become the next speaker.

The representatives of the royal family were Liu Sheng and Liu Qi. Sister Liu Jie was a woman, the daughter of King Zhao Liu Pengzu.

The representatives of the imperial enterprise are Meihefu and Xiang Xu. Xiang Xu is not here now and has been replaced by Sang Hongyang.

There were also representatives from large enterprises, one was Cao Xiang and the other was Huang Ji.

Huang Ji is a common man and really has no background at all.

So although he has the least say among the senators, he is now an idol to many businessmen.

Because at present, it seems that the end of the road for a businessman in politics is the position of Huang Ji.

Even if he appeared in the provincial government or the prefecture or county government, officials from all places had to receive him with the highest etiquette.

Some of the policies he proposed are more popular among businessmen because they generally represent middle-class people, but ordinary people are indifferent to him.

At this point, the meeting had actually already begun, but it seemed rather casual.

Cao Xiang placed his hands on the table and looked at the audience: "Fan Taguang, I heard that Fan Shengke Dog Meat Pizza has launched a spicy chicken leg burger?"

Fan Taguang said proudly: "Yes!"

Cao Xiang: "Oh! Their fried chicken and hamburgers are KFC Kaifeng dishes. Old Huo taught them specifically for the people of Kaifeng. How dare you, a man of such a rich family, go and steal their knowledge?"

Everyone at the scene was laughing.

Fan Taguan said proudly: "I am innovative. KFC doesn't innovate, but I am!"

"At the beginning, Lord Wu Hou personally ordered that chili peppers can be used as seasonings and are widely planted. Now the results can finally be sold. Who among you doesn't want to try them?"

"If the KFC chain doesn't launch spicy flavors at this time, then we at Fan Shengke will not be polite."

Everyone at the scene started laughing.

Fan Taguang was still greeting people: "Come and have the spicy chicken burger after the meeting!"

At this time, the Kaifeng representative in the corner said: "It's okay, we will also sell spicy dog ​​meat pizza in various KFC stores next time."

Everyone also laughed.

Every parliamentary meeting would start with a discussion on food. Firstly, it was related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Secondly, most food items were not patented and were almost all developed by Huo Hai and provided free of charge to everyone.

The reason why those who do well do so well is that they are orthodox. That is, those who were the first to accept Huo Hai's inheritance do well.

Of course, there are differences among them. For example, Zhao’s smoked meat can no longer keep up with the scale and pace of Fan Shengke. After all, after the popularity of smoked meat spread, many places have made their own smoked meat, and many places are not short of this stuff.

In addition, after the Yangtze River was opened to navigation, smoked meat from Shu County began to be shipped in large quantities, which was also a big blow to Zhao's smoked meat. The price of live pigs in Shu County was only one-fifth of that in Chang'an, and the cost of bacon was less than one-fifth. With the freight, the cost was only one-third.

If they want, they can sell it at a price lower than the cost of Zhao’s smoked meat. How can we fight against it?
Fortunately, the smoked meat in Shu County was organized and planned by Zhang Qian. His purpose was to allow the mountain people along the Yangtze River, where the terrain is relatively complex, to make money. Therefore, he did not take the route of lowering prices to increase sales, but instead took the route of producing high-quality southwestern bacon. Therefore, the price was not pushed down so low, and Zhao's smoked meat had a chance to survive.

Now Zhao’s smoked meat has changed its style and they have started to research other things to avoid being killed by competition.

Zhao’s Smoked Meat also started to engage in the transportation industry and opened a factory in Shu County. At the same time, it began to research starch sausage.

Starch sausage was invented by Huo Hai. Because starch was difficult to make at the time, it was only circulated in a small circle within the research institute.

Now we hear that potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn can all be used to make starch. Although Zhao's Smoked Meat has no source of supply, it started building a factory a year in advance. If it can catch up now, it may be able to suppress Fan Shengke.

Someone looked at Zhao’s Smoked Pork.

The owner of Zhao's Smoked Meat is Zhao Po Nu's wife. She stood up and said, "We have recently developed a new canned food, canned luncheon meat, which can be used as military rations."

When they heard that it was military rations, everyone became serious.

Liu Guang: "Military rations?! Come on, everyone, applaud!"

Every time something useful to the military was created, the entire parliament would pay tribute.

Zhao did not hide anything and directly talked about luncheon meat: "Luncheon meat is somewhat similar to starch sausage, which was also invented by Wu Hou."

Everyone is confused. Did Wu Hou invent so many things that have not been passed down?
Zhao: "At that time, the General of Cavalry was joking with Your Majesty, saying that the ox head was presented to Your Majesty, and what was left was not beef, but lunch meat."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Zhao: "Marquis Huo Wu suggested calling it luncheon meat."

"Later, luncheon meat in the modern sense was developed specifically for the soldiers who marched north. It was steamed canned cubes made of beef and starch."

"But firstly, there was a lack of starch, and secondly, the soldiers in the north were tired of eating beef, so the military wanted a product that was similar to ham sausage but with more meat."

"After unremitting efforts, our Zhao family finally developed canned pork luncheon meat."

Everyone applauded again.

At the entrance of the parliament, a voice came: "Canned luncheon meat? Ham sausage? I'm lucky enough to be here in time. Leave some samples for me to use when eating hot pot... ahem, I'll help you try the taste."

Everyone looked up.

The whole audience was shocked.

"Marquis Wu!"

"Lord Huo!"

"second lieutenant!"

"Command"

"Ancestor..."

The whole audience was shocked.

It can be said that every aspect of the parliament, from the participants, to the issues discussed, to the system, was created by Huo Hai himself.

However, Huo Hai never came to the parliament once.

Now, it's finally here!
Who among the ordinary people who have come this far does not regard Huo Hai as an idol? If someone is not, then his idol must regard Huo Hai as an idol.

When Huang Ji saw Huo Hai, his eyes were full of admiration as if he were a god, and he did not hide it at all.

Huo Hai: "No, if you keep going like this, there won't be enough space for so many people to stand here."

It was Huo Hai’s first time in the parliament. He pointed to a seat nearby and said, “I’ll sit here and listen in for a while.”

The person sitting next to him was flattered and hurriedly gave Huo Haiteng more room: "Master, please come and sit here."

Huo Hai refused and taught: "Don't sit on other people's hot mats, it's easy to get ringworm."

"I have learned it, Master. Please sit here. My coat is not hot."

Huo Hai was not polite: "It has a future, it has a future."
