The big man has a living father

Chapter 156 (Long Chapter) The Steam Engine

To be honest, Liu Che was not very urgent about the Xiongnu Company and the Western Regions Company.

The main reason is the expectation for railways.

Because Huo Hai said that railways consume a lot of energy, Liu Che wanted to concentrate his superior forces to develop railways.

However, the Western Region Company and the Xiongnu Company are indeed profitable.

In the past, fighting the Huns was just a fight and there was no benefit.

Now, all the land we have conquered can be used to raise sheep, and raising sheep can make woolen clothes.

This woolen sweater has now become a very important survival resource, so some people are willing to do this business.

Once this money starts making money, it can be said that you can completely occupy the land.

Then the value of sending troops is even greater.

At this time, Liu Che folded his hands and thought about this problem.

But Wei Qing definitely wanted to establish these two companies.

Because of Wei Qing, he wanted to put an end to his old rival.

As for the others, it is difficult to figure out whether they are doing it for the Han Dynasty, for the war, for revenge, or for personal gain.

But! The establishment of these two companies is absolutely in the interests of the court and the interests of the majority of the Han people.

That’s why the call is so loud.

Liu Che thought carefully with his hands in his pockets, and did not rush to agree. Instead, he looked at Huo Hai and said, "The others go out first, Huo Hai, you stay."

All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

What? Does the establishment of these two companies also require Huo Hai to have a large share?
Do you really take care of this son-in-law and pamper this daughter like this?
Huo Hai was also confused. Why did he call me? What did it have to do with me?
But after all the ministers had retreated, Liu Che spoke up: "Be honest with me, should we invest money to build a railway?"

Huo Hai was stunned for a moment.

Liu Che: "I have calculated that even if we use horses to pull the carts, the freight capacity of railways is far greater than that of concrete roads, better than that of highways, and even better than that of water transport."

"Our commercial development is inseparable from the movement of people and goods."

"After the railway is built, the profits may not be greater than those of the Xiongnu Company or the Western Region Company, but the stimulus to the economic cycle will definitely far exceed those of the two."

This is true, a blacksmith must be strong himself.

Of course, developing internally is better than simply expanding outward.

Huo Hai thought it was something else and shook his head: "There is enough money. The new city will start to make money soon. Building a railway will not cost as much as Your Majesty imagines."

Liu Che: "How can it not cost money? The railway should be built at least as well as the highway, right? Every kilometer of land on both sides is four kilometers of single-sided railroad. How much money does this cost?"

"Moreover, the amount of manpower and animal power required for this railway is huge, and it will cost money, unless their wages are reduced."

Huo Hai wiped his sweat and said, "We can't build so many railways for the time being, and there is no need. After all, if we build them all now, we won't be able to replace them with new ones when the technology improves."

"What we are mainly going to build is the connection between the five capitals and Chang'an: Luoyang, Handan, Linzi, Wancheng, and Chengdu."

"In addition to the five cities, there are two new key points. One is the direction of Yunzhong Wuyuan, which must have a bridgehead to communicate with Chang'an. The other is that Longxi must communicate with Chang'an."

Liu Che: "Why don't we connect other places first, but connect Yunzhong County and Longxi?"

Huo Hai: "Of course it's to fight the Xiongnu and occupy the Western Regions!"

"Your Majesty, you can't put the cart before the horse! The effect of economic development on enriching the people is just the effect it brings. We actively promote economic development in order to strengthen the country, and strengthening the country is to..."

Liu Che suddenly realized.

How can we forget our original intention?

Liu Che thought the same thing twenty years ago.

In the past year, the rapid economic development has made Liu Che somewhat forget the reason for developing the economy.

"In other words, the railway connecting Yunzhong and Longxi was built for the purpose of war."

Huo Hai nodded: "Of course it's for the war."

The reason why the Han Dynasty is currently able to crush enemies on its borders and ruthlessly suppress internal rebellions with almost no effort is mainly because of its good transportation.

Of course, railway transportation was better than it is now, but the problem is, don’t forget what good transportation is for.

Huo Hai: "In the future, we will build railways to other important cities. As long as it is an important city in the empire, it must be connected by railway."

"From an economic perspective, we only need one railway, which is the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang."

Liu Che was a little puzzled: "If it was five years ago, Luoyang was still impressive compared to Chang'an, but now, it is completely not on the same level as Chang'an. If we have to choose a second largest city besides Chang'an, it must be Chengdu."

Huo Hai shook his head and said, "Chengdu is wealthy, and its economy has developed earlier than Luoyang. However, the railway from Chang'an to Chengdu is more difficult than that to Luoyang. We should start with the easy ones and then move on to the difficult ones."

"Secondly, the number of people exposed to radiation in Chengdu is far less than that in Luoyang."

If we only look at the local population, Chang'an is the best in the world, and Luoyang, Wancheng and Chengdu have similar populations.

But if you look at it from a broader perspective, it's different.

Currently, there are about 40 million people in the country. Among the 40 million, Chengdu’s population is about 4 million, which is almost one-tenth of the country.

Luoyang Wancheng is connected to the area north of the Yellow River, with a population of over 20 million, half of the Han Dynasty!
There are very few people south of the Yangtze River now, and the population in the Jianghuai region is just barely enough. These are all sparsely populated areas.

The population of other population clusters such as Chengdu and Chang'an combined is equal to the population of the Central Plains region.

"Our trains transport goods and people, which naturally boosts the economy."

"As the floating population increases, wealth will naturally move, and naturally the advantages of various places will be gathered, further amplifying the economy."

Liu Che interrupted: "Wait a minute, a train transports people? How big of a butt would you have to have the nerve to ride on a train?"

"The transportation capacity is already insufficient, let alone transporting people."

"People should just follow the railway line obediently."

“Even if a horse is on rails, how much cargo can it pull?”

Huo Hai slapped his forehead and forgot to tell Liu Che: "Your Majesty, the Royal Research Institute, together with the steel mills and coal mines, has begun researching a new power source."

"It's a car like a windmill or waterwheel, powered by fire, and is called a train."

Liu Che raised his eyebrows: "Hmm?"

Huo Hai: "The principle is simple. When the water in the pot boils, the steam generated can lift the lid of the pot."

"If we enlarge the stove and the cooktop, the steam will also be larger. Can we push bigger and heavier objects?"

"A transmission similar to that used in the paper mill's waterwheel, directly connected to the wheels of the cart..."

Liu Che glared and clapped his hands: "Hey? Why didn't I think of it?"

That means you are not cut out for mechanical science.

Originally, Huo Hai did not let the research institute focus too much on the research of steam engines.

It turns out that the person who invented the original steam engine was actually a cook.

Since the institute introduced large pots and cooking methods, washing pots is not as easy as before. The pots are often very greasy and need hot water to be cleaned.

A few months ago, when the cook Huang Jiao was washing the pot and boiling water, he threw the linen cloth used for washing dishes into the pot to boil because it was covered with oil.

In order to wash the linen clean.

But after the linen cloth was thrown into the pot, it immediately floated up, or even floated up.

Huang Jiao often uses linen, and of course he knows that linen will generally sink if thrown into water, and it is twisted and shrunken.

But when it was thrown into the pot, some force unfolded the linen and made it float on the water, just like a steamed bun.

He pressed the burlap down with a spatula and found that the force was still very strong.

And it was no use pressing it down, as there was a constant flow of force that made the linen swell up.

He simply used a spatula to scoop the burlap aside.

After leaving the center of the pot, the burlap stopped puffing up.

Huang Jiaodu didn't pay much attention to this phenomenon, but continued to try to boil and wash the linen.

At this time, Huang Jiao pressed the linen cloth with a spatula and moved it from the water to the center where the temperature was highest.

As a result, the linen at the bottom of the water unfolded in a second and quickly floated up again.

With a gentle touch of a spatula, you can feel that the linen is separated from the water surface below.

This time, Huang Jiao realized one thing. After the water boiled, the bubbles that rose in the water were a kind of gas, and this gas lifted the linen cloth.

And this gas should be able to be converted into water again.

It is for this reason that if you do not cover the pot when cooking food, the water will easily absorb.

Even if you cover the pot and cook for a long time, there is still a lot of water.

Huang Jiao became excited after observing this phenomenon.

He found a Ding pot and asked the captain of the Meiguo team, Luo Sijie, to make a pot lid.

The space between the pot and the lid can be knocked to death!

That’s right, Huang Jiao didn’t think about power at all, he made a pressure cooker.

He wanted to see if he could cook soup without losing weight if the airtightness was high.

Because sometimes people always complain that the soup is delicious, but not enough.

So, with the same raw materials, if the gas doesn’t escape, will the soup still taste just as good, but the quantity will be more?
then!

The first ever cork ring pressure cooker! It was born!

On the day of the experiment, most of the people in the research institute came to watch.

After all, it was just about time for dinner, and they all wanted to know whether scientific progress would lead to further developments in gastronomy.

That very day.

The moment Huang Jiao pulled out the lid and the limiting valve of the pot body.

The lid of the pot flew up into the sky.

It directly broke the wooden beams on the cafeteria's roof and crashed directly into the concrete roof.

Because the cafeteria is very large, it is made of reinforced concrete structure.

This time it's better.

Even the cement and steel bars were all broken.

All the people in Huangjiao were dumbfounded.

Fortunately, when I pulled out the plug, I didn't pinch the pressure cooker.

If his hand had touched the pot lid even slightly, the group of stunned researchers behind him would have been wiped out!

The researchers were also dumbfounded.

I came here to watch the pot boil, who comes to watch you fire the cannon?

"What the hell! Cannon?!"

After the gun was invented, the smoothbore cannon was developed using the same principle.

However, the power of the smoothbore gun is not enough, so other guns have been under research.

This is a high-pressure cannon, right?

At this time Huang Jiao looked down.

There's nothing left in the pot.

Water, chicken, and everything else turned into mist in an instant.

That’s right, the first popcorn machine in history was born.

Fortunately, the pot we used was made by the research institute, not outside. If it was made of steel from outside with uneven quality, it might have exploded when it was burned.

With so many researchers present, the first thing they did after coming to their senses was to discuss what the principle was.

Someone soon explained the principle.

First of all, fire has energy, and this energy is heat.

This energy is the same as the heat system that was previously studied by medical scientists and Zhao Guo in Science magazine.

The heat from the fire, used to heat the food, kills the mold.

It will also increase the temperature of the food.

Water is a special thing. Ordinary food becomes delicious after being heated, but if it is overheated, it will carbonize.

Water will become hotter when heated, but it can no longer be heated after reaching a certain degree. The temperature will remain unchanged, but the excess heat transferred from the fire will be taken away by converting part of the water into gas.

Therefore, the temperature of these gases is higher than that of water, which is why some cooks get scalded when opening the pot.

And this kind of qi carries energy, and the energy is very large.

but!
Huang Jiao asked someone to design this pot, which wraps the energy inside and prevents the energy from being released.

So the energy of this pot continues to accumulate.

The energy carried is increasing every moment.

Fortunately, the pot boiled in the end, and fortunately the pot was not big. If it was big, it would have exploded directly!

After figuring out this problem.

Iron Man Tang Sier proposed a hypothesis: "Since boiling water will continue to provide energy, and this energy can be converted between heat and momentum... then... can it replace river water and wind?"

"To create a third type of vehicle besides the waterwheel and windmill, the steam vehicle."

Someone immediately objected to this statement: "Then it is called a car only when the wheels turn. Since it is steam, why should we stick to round wheels? If we make it like this pot, leaving a channel out, wouldn't it be possible to continuously lead away the hot air? In this way, there is more room for design, so it should be called a steam engine."

"Steam car? It has to be used as a power source to make the carriage run, then it can be called a steam car."

"Someone else explained, 'No, no, how can it be called a steam train? Since it uses fire to boil water, it must be called a train!'"

A group of researchers, without any guidance from Huo Hai, directly imagined the idea of ​​the steam engine.

In fact, it is not a rigid old-fashioned steam engine, nor is it an improved version of Watt's steam engine, but a super-improved version of the steam engine for trains!
From that day on, Tang Sier, Luo Sijie and other relevant people in the research institute began to study the steam engine.

Because the industries involved are diverse, half of the research institute’s staff participated in the research, offered suggestions, and also participated in component improvements.

Huang Jiao, the inventor of the pressure cooker, also transformed from a chef to a researcher and began to study the structure of the boiler.

This steam engine team also brings together senior research talents from the entire institute.

Huo Hai was really afraid that they would send him away by accident.

It will take three years to replenish the scientific and technological talents of that big man.

After all, they were already top talents in their respective fields before entering the research institute.

But the good news is that in recent months, tens of thousands of students studying science have chosen to pursue a research path.

In fact, Liu Che's people did report the information of the prototype of the steam engine, but the embroidered envoys did not know the difference between the steam engine and the ordinary boiler, nor did they know that the difference in function was so great. Of course, they could not report something they did not know or understand.

Liu Che had always known about the idea of ​​using other power to drive the train, so he really couldn't imagine which of the two things were connected together.

Liu Che pinched his chin and said, "Steam, train? This steam boiler can't be as big as a cooking pot, right? The water burned up in a short time, so it must be as big as... a heating boiler?"

Huo Hai: “It’s much bigger than that.”

Liu Che was stunned for a moment: "So big? If it is made into a cart, it must be five or six meters long? How can it carry goods?"

Huo Hai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the prototype, twenty horses are tied to the power output port of the steam engine, tug of war."

Liu Che spread his hands and waited for the next words: "What's next?"

Huo Hai: “No more.”

Liu Che: "What's gone?" Huo Hai: "The horse is gone."

"They underestimated the power of the steam engine. Once the wheel started, it ran too fast and killed all 20 horses."

Although horsepower is the level of strength of one horse.

But in reality, one horsepower is roughly equal to the amount of power that an adult male can output.

A horse has five to eight horsepower.

Twenty horses means more than a hundred horsepower.

But... how can a 100-plus horsepower engine pull a 5-meter-long steam engine...

After investigation, we found out that the calculation was wrong when the strength was calculated at the beginning, and one decimal place was placed one place too far forward.

But the conclusion seemed so exaggerated that the researcher thought it must be correct and did not review it.

Tang Sier and the others also thought that this data was reasonable.

Who knew that the decimal point was wrong and only one tenth of the power was calculated?

Therefore, after that, all departments of the institute began to pay attention to this issue, and all data to be calculated had to be calculated independently more than three times.

This is a steam engine, so it's okay, but what if it's an explosion equivalent?

The original calculation was that the explosion range would be ten meters, and then the great Emperor came to watch the ceremony, but it turned out that the explosion was ten times more powerful. Do you still want to survive?
This also serves as a reminder for the progress of the institute.

After hearing this, Liu Che couldn't bear to look at it: "These horses are so miserable."

Huo Hai: "I feel bad for them too. To show their achievements, I decided to define the merit of moving 75 kilograms one meter in one second as one horsepower. A horse has about five to eight horsepower."

"Oh, one second is also a new unit. Now a day is divided into 24 hours, Your Majesty, do you know that? One hour is equal to 60 minutes, and one minute is equal to 60 seconds."

Liu Che thought for a moment and said, "That is to say, with a continuous output of one horsepower, I can carry 75 kilograms and move 3.5 kilometers in one hour."

"So this car was designed with an underestimation of nine-tenths, which works out to about twenty horses, which is ten times more than a hundred horsepower... more than a thousand horsepower?"

"More than a thousand horsepower means it can carry 75,000 kilograms and run 3.5 kilometers an hour?!!!!!!"

If that's the case, then what's the point of having a driver? You guys should retire! The horses should retire too!

Huo Hai corrected: "No, Your Majesty, the direction of movement of one horsepower is best calculated upwards, because when running on the railway, most of the weight is on the wheels."

"When we say a horse has five horsepower, we don't mean it can pull a cart with five 75 kilograms, but it means it can run five meters while carrying 75 kilograms."

"But a horse pulling a cart weighs more than 75 kilograms."

“There’s less friction on the rails.”

"To be precise, we are now envisioning that this steam locomotive can pull 1,000 tons, or 1 million kilograms, and run at 35 kilometers per hour."

"Of course this is a protection vehicle. If you only consider the pulling capacity, pulling thousands of tons is one thing, but just running slowly is fine."

Liu Che finally came to his senses.

This!
After figuring it out, what's the point of the ship? What's the point of the damn road? What's the point of having it?

Liu Che waved his hand with great pride and said: "Vote! Every county will be connected by railway! Every county will be connected by railway! No, every township will be connected! Every pavilion will be connected!!!"

Huo Hai wiped his sweat and was COSTING Father Sun!

"That's not necessary."

Liu Che: "If this is accessible, what's the point of the waterway and the bullshit highway?"

Huo Hai: "It doesn't say that steam engines can't be installed on ships, right? Besides, steam engines can probably be installed on horse-drawn carriages to replace horses, but it's a little difficult to do."

Liu Che suddenly realized.

The water route has always been used to attack the land route.

When transporting this thing by land, we also have to consider the load-bearing capacity of the vehicle itself.

To carry the cargo, the vehicle structure must be large and sturdy.

A car needs to be sturdy and big, so it needs to be heavy. A heavy car requires more strength to pull the goods.

But on the water, the cargo is pulled by the water.

That saves more energy than railroad tracks.

If a steam engine is installed on a ship, wouldn't the capacity be far more than a thousand tons, or even ten thousand tons? ! ! ! !
Liu Che waved his hand and said, "Digging a canal! Digging all over the country! Every village should have a canal!"

Huo Hai wiped his sweat: "That's not necessary..."

"There's no way the village can transport so much goods."

Liu Che couldn't bear it just by imagining it.

Running so fast and transporting such heavy goods, doesn't it mean that they were unhappy with the Huns at night, and the army lined up by the Yellow River the next morning? ! ! !

If any prince wants to rebel.

Before all his subordinates knew the news and before all the officials in his fiefdom were notified, the imperial army had already approached him with guns and cannons.

Liu Che grabbed Huo Hai's wrist and said, "When can we see the mature product? When can we start the journey?!"

Huo Hai: "We have to wait for this. Some of the mechanical steel structures here are very complicated. If we succeed in the research, it means that our mechanical and design capabilities will be improved to a higher level."

"But if one day your majesty receives news that inexplicable huge and continuous roars of wild beasts are heard in Chang'an City, it is estimated that the steam engine will start to go up to the train platform."

"As for the day we set out on the journey, we will definitely build a railway from the mining area to Chang'an and open it to traffic first. Your Majesty will definitely take the first train then."

Liu Che: "On that day, I will show all the civil and military officials and all the rich people in Chang'an how powerful the train is. Then I will set up the Chang'an-Luoyang Railway Company and let them invest."

Huo Hai chuckled: "Of course!"

The railway from Tongguan Coal Mine to Chang'an was built to transport coal, steel and other materials.

The purpose of building a railway to Luoyang is to collectively boost the economies of cities along the route.

Liu Che: "In other words, we can now start purchasing land along the way?"

Huo Hai: "Of course we have to buy it first, and then buy it after the news gets out, otherwise the land price will rise to the sky!"

Liu Che: "I see. Then we have even less money to establish the Xiongnu Company and the Western Region Company."

Huo Hai: "That's not right, Your Majesty. You've got it the other way around."

"Your Majesty, if you want to establish the Western Region Company and the Xiongnu Company, you can ask for a high price and only take more than 50% of the shares without paying any money."

"They can only compromise because the profit is far more than three times, so paying 100% of the money and only taking 30% of the shares is a must-invest project for them."

"Your Majesty will be able to raise an army without spending a penny and defeat the Xiongnu. Then countless powerful people will give up their local interests and turn to develop the Western Regions and grasslands..."

Liu Che never expected this.

Now that I think about it, yes!

I didn't contribute any money when the Tongguan coal mine and paper mill were built.

Now I am used to paying money, and I always think about paying first.

Damn it, how can you pay first?

Huo Hai continued: "Your Majesty, don't think that they pay a lot of money now. In the future, Xiongnu Company and Western Region Company will make a lot of money. We must not let their profits be too high."

"We have to find some way to make some money while we're in there."

Liu Che turned around and looked at Huo Hai. Good fellow, you are even more cruel than me. Not only do you own more than half of the shares without spending a penny, but you also want to make some more money from it?
After Huo Hai expressed his thoughts, Liu Che raised his eyebrows and said, "You have a really dark heart. I like it."

Only the chef in the Huo Mansion knew how much Huo Hai liked eating beef. But Huo Hai had been refraining from asking Emperor Liu Che to lift the restriction on eating beef. Why?
The purpose is to make some money from this.

Fighting the Xiongnu, what did the Xiongnu have in abundance? Cattle and sheep.

What do we need to fight the Huns? Weapons and equipment.

What is the most common thing among weapons and equipment? Leather products.

In other words, when the Xiongnu Company fought against the Xiongnu, it had to sell the spoils it captured to the imperial court for a low price. The imperial court then made canned beef and leather goods and sold them to the Xiongnu Company at a high price.

Even so, the Xiongnu Company had to thank the imperial court, thanking the imperial court for granting the soldiers who marched north the opportunity to eat meat.

And this part is the exclusive interest of the imperial court.

What about Huo Hai and Liu Che? They wanted to build a royal arsenal, manufacture weapons, and sell them to the Xiongnu company.

How much the weapons are sold for depends entirely on how much profit the Xiongnu Company can make.

In this way, most of the benefits can be grasped.

Although this will most likely cause dissatisfaction among the company's shareholders in the future environment, making them think about developing weapons independently.

But from the very beginning, the Han Dynasty firmly grasped the right to armaments, so people of this era would think it was natural.

Just this one move is enough to clamp down on the entire Xiongnu Company.

Don't forget that the operating model of the Xiongnu Company was that they paid money to help Liu Che's army conquer territory, and then Liu Che rewarded them with economic power for the next few decades in return.

This model is completely different from directly expanding territory.

In fact, the entire system was under the control of Liu Che. Although these shareholders contributed money, they only received dividends.

Even with the imperial supervision and the royal arsenal, the specific amount of dividends distributed was still restricted.

After talking with Huo Hai, Liu Che raised his hand and called back.

The ministers, who were waiting anxiously, filed in one after another.

"boom!!!"

Just as Liu Che was about to speak, he heard a loud noise coming from the other side of the forest.

Liu Che glanced in the direction of the forest: "What's going on?"

Huo Hai: "Oh, let's test explosives. In addition to firearms, we also designed some weapons that can be used to ambush others or destroy city walls."

Although the Huns did not have super large cities, they did have cities, which were all modeled after the castles in the Western Regions.

In fact, it takes some effort to break through.

So explosives were also produced.

When Liu Che heard this, he said, "Take it easy. I use Shanglin Garden for leisure and relaxation. Don't turn Shanglin Garden into a bloody sea!"

After saying this, Liu Che turned around and said, "Both the Xiongnu Company and the Western Region Company can be established."

"but!"

"I will not pay a penny, and I will only own 50% of the shares."

A group of people nodded hurriedly.

Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Qing didn't care who made money in this company. He just wanted to destroy the Huns.

Moreover, there will naturally be rewards for winning a battle, and no matter who makes the money, it will not delay Wei Qing from getting the reward.

Liu Che put his hands on his hips and said, "Also, both the Xiongnu Company and the Western Region Company can be listed on the stock exchange, but there are some things that need to be said in advance."

“First, the company only shares the profits, and the deployment of troops itself is decided by the court, not the company.”

A group of people nodded vigorously.

Of course, the company is there to make money. How can we let the company make the decision?

If this is the case, then wouldn't it be like creating two officials of the same level to compete with him for power out of thin air? This is a brain hole.

Liu Che continued: "After the victory, the soldiers' rewards need to be allocated directly from the company's profits and rewarded to the soldiers by me."

Wei Qing hurriedly said: "Of course, if we work hard for the country but cannot get your Majesty's praise, I'm afraid the soldiers will not be happy!"

This is a key point.

If the reward money is given directly by the Xiongnu Company, it would be equivalent to the company supporting the army, which is two different things.

This matter must be cut cleanly, and there must be no situation where soldiers take money directly from the Xiongnu Company.

Liu Che: "Third..."

Everything Liu Che said sounded harsh.

But in the face of huge profits, no one cares about these things. Everyone just wants to invest money and get shares immediately.

But everything is not that simple.

Liu Che asked Wei Qing to write a prospectus and submit it to him.

After Liu Che has finished reading it, it will be announced publicly at the stock trading center.

The process is extremely complicated.

So much so that by the time the news reached the grassland, the Xiongnu company had not yet been established.

When Chanyu Yizhixie saw the report, he was confused.

The Han minister next to him read the report and said with disdain: "Chanyu, there have been huge changes in the Han court. This is not a good thing for them."

"In the past, Liu Che had the final say in all matters of the Han Dynasty, but now so many people have to join in. It seems that the whole country is joining in the attack against us, but in fact, many people are sharing Liu Che's right to speak."

"Before, they only listened to one person's orders, so we were defeated time and time again. But now they have more voices and noise, which is a great opportunity for us to win."

Since he came to power, Chanyu Yizhixie had been severely beaten by Huo Qubing and Wei Qing, both of whom had psychological trauma.

However, the Han minister beside him always said the right things, which is why he was able to escape many times and live a leisurely and comfortable life until now.

This time when he said this, Yizhixie Chanyu was ecstatic: "Is God on our side now?!!!"

In fact, it was quite common for the Xiongnu Khan to employ Han officials.

The first one was what Bank of China said.

This guy was sent to the grassland when the imperial court was trying to arrange a marriage alliance.

But he said he did not want to go to the grassland, and if the court insisted on sending him there, he would rebel.

The court was not afraid that he would rebel, so they sent him there, and he was really sentenced.

These guys are mainly good at talking and often confuse right and wrong.

They even said that the fact that the Huns could inherit their father's wife when they succeeded to the throne was a good thing.

The main point is disgusting.

But for the Huns, the Han ministers were indeed far more knowledgeable than their own ministers. They could often speak to the point and knew many things that the grassland people had never seen.

So this time, Chanyu Yizhixie still believed the words of the Han minister unconditionally.

Unfortunately, times have changed.

……

At the stock exchange center, the IPO plan has been publicly displayed.

Liu Che never gave in because he was not satisfied with the money offered by his ministers.

The ministers took out 4 billion yuan to occupy 20% of the shares of Xiongnu Company.

This sounds good, but it's too little.

Liu Che was waiting for good news.

The best news has already been available, but it has been kept under wraps and not released.

By the end of August, everyone in Chang'an City knew that another press conference would be held in the parking lot of the stock trading hall in the new city.

What is a press conference? Don’t worry about it. Every press conference is so exciting. You’d better go!

Be sure to go and see it first!

It’s a new month, please vote for me!
