Chapter 375 Tuanzi's Adventure
"Where is Tuanzi?" When talking about the super ferocious beast, Guo Hao suddenly remembered his beloved pet.
"What dumplings?" Chen Xi looked at Guo Hao strangely, somewhat confused.
"Hmm? It seems like someone has used some means to block your presence?"
Guo Hao suddenly frowned and found that things were not simple. He used to pay attention to Tuanzi's situation every day, but after coming back from outside, he had not remembered Tuanzi at all. Moreover, Chen Xi actually forgot Tuanzi's existence, and it seemed that Li Ru and Xun Yu next to him knew nothing about it.
But after thinking about it, Guo Hao didn't care. The last time he saw a ball of Tai Chi as big as Tuanzi, he knew that Tuanzi had taken off. The cat should be in some corner of Luoyang, and it might have encountered some adventure.
In fact, Tuanzi was hibernating in the imperial garden of the palace, and what Zhuanxu gave it was not an ordinary thing.
It was a souvenir left behind after he killed a metal god. It was considered the metal god's true body and was considered a top-notch fighter. Unfortunately, it ran into Emperor Zhuanxu and was smashed into pieces.
Originally, Emperor Zhuanxu wanted to refine some weapons or something, but unfortunately he never had enough materials even when he devoted himself to repairing the sky. It is quite a sad story.
If it weren't for the fact that Tuanzi was the offspring of Chiyou's mount, then he was also the offspring of an old friend, and as his uncle he would have to give him a gift. So after eating the metal fragments, Tuanzi fell into a deep sleep.
Emperor Zhuanxu also conveniently added a ban to prevent others from disturbing Tuanzi's growth.
If the plot had developed in this way, there would be no problem for Tuanzi to become a world-breaking beast when he woke up. He would even be three times more ferocious than the giant bear in the Arctic. After all, Tuanzi can become stronger every moment.
This can be considered as the innate skill of the iron-eating beast. It strengthens its body by eating iron. Moreover, the metal given by Emperor Zhuanxu is of high quality. After Tuanzi practiced it carefully, he took off directly.
But the problem is, Tuanzi is not a wild beast, Tuanzi is a cultured panda.
When Dian Wei was being taught to study, he was stuck on "Wei Liaozi", while Tuanzi was able to recite "Wei Liaozi" from memory.
Later, Tuanzi relied on his identity as the general's pet to run rampant and move freely in various places in Luoyang. During this process, Tuanzi could be said to be well-read, and his cultural level was dozens of streets ahead of Dian Wei. If he could speak, he could have been a general.
During this process, Tuanzi accidentally met Taoist Bei Ming, a small account of a big boss.
The first time Bei Ming saw a panda, he was more shocked than when he had seen the giant Kun before.
He had never seen an animal that was so in line with the principles of yin and yang. It was neither black nor white, with black in white and white in black. It was simply the embodiment of yin and yang.
Bei Ming immediately planned to use some means to enlighten Tuanzi, but unfortunately Tuanzi was Guo Hao's pet, and the cause and effect involved made Bei Ming discouraged. As a small account, he really didn't dare to do anything reckless.
But he also felt it was a pity that the incarnation of the Yin-Yang Avenue was right in front of him, but he couldn't grasp it. It was really heartbreaking.
After following Tuanzi reluctantly for a few days, Bei Ming was excited when he discovered that Tuanzi could actually read and was a cultured panda.
He couldn't afford to bear the consequences of his direct actions, but he could just teach Tuanzi indirectly.
Without saying a word, Bei Ming controlled two people on the street and threw the essence of his life's learning to Tuanzi. The young and ignorant Tuanzi was very eager for unknown knowledge, so he was led by Bei Ming onto the path of cultivation, and the path he cultivated was the Yin-Yang Dao.
So while he was sleeping, Tuanzi was still practicing. After all, the magic that Bei Ming gave him included a method of practicing in dreams.
As the saying goes, Zhuang Zhou dreams of being a butterfly, and the butterfly dreams of being Zhuang Zhou. Tuanzi thus embarked on a strange growth path.
However, it is foreseeable that after Tuanzi wakes up, he may become a real ferocious beast, and a cultured one at that. However, this is something that no one in the Government Affairs Hall knows.
After the Nine Cauldrons were completed, all the people who had been sent to various places to share Chen Xi's pressure returned to Luoyang one after another.
The third floor of the Government Affairs Hall also became extremely lively from only a few people. When Lu Su, Guo Jia and others returned, Zhao Yun also rushed back to Luoyang with the second-generation tour group.
When Zhao Yun appeared in the Government Affairs Hall, it happened to be the time for lunch. Zhao Yun integrated into the group without any sense of incongruity, as if he had always belonged to the Government Affairs Hall.
In fact, Zhao Yun is a frequent visitor to the Government Affairs Hall. Unlike Yang Lin and others who are just guest assistants, Zhao Yun is one of the giants in the agricultural department. Zhao Yun has actually traveled all over the Sili area, and his control over Sili agriculture is much stronger than Chen Xi, and he has full practical experience.
So when Zhao Yun followed Guo Jia and others back to Luoyang one after another, no one noticed anything unusual and subconsciously thought that Zhao Yun returned to Luoyang like the other counselors.
It was not until Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong officially entered the Government Affairs Hall and began to help that everyone noticed Zhao Yun's sense of disharmony.
"I say, no one finds it unreasonable for Zilong to be here?"
Chen Xi looked depressed. In the entire Government Affairs Hall, there were nearly twenty or thirty wise men with spiritual talents, but not one person felt that Zhao Yun's appearance was unreasonable.
"Zilong, hasn't he always been in the Government Affairs Office? He often works overtime with me." Lu Su asked innocently.
"But..." Chen Xi was stuck. It suddenly occurred to him that Zhao Yun might have worked in the Government Affairs Office longer than he did.
After all, he works for three days and rests for two days, and is often late and leaves early. It is possible that he has not worked in the Government Affairs Office for as long as Zhao Yun.
"It's reasonable. Too reasonable!" Chen Xi could only complain expressionlessly.
"By the way, Zilong, you're back just in time. Come with me tomorrow to build a blast furnace. The previous batch of blast furnaces have started to explode one after another recently. They must have reached the end of their lifespan. We need a new batch of blast furnaces to be put into use."
After a long silence, Chen Xi said helplessly that Zhao Yun was more like a civil official than him, although the fighting ability of this civil official was still beyond the standard.
"Okay!" Zhao Yun nodded to indicate that there was no problem. He knew a lot about building blast furnaces. Metaphysics was so unreasonable. Anyway, he could just follow the blueprint and it would work. As for why it worked, only God knew.
"Zichuan, didn't you recently recruit a group of civilians to carry out infrastructure construction? Who did you give them to? How did you still have time to build a blast furnace?"
Lu Su asked in confusion. When he came back, he remembered that Chen Xi had just gathered a large number of people to engage in infrastructure construction. Although he didn't know what Chen Xi was doing, infrastructure construction was something that could not be completed in a short time. Don't let him forget about this matter.
After all, Chen Xi was famous for his forgetfulness. After Lu Xun and Lu Meng joined the Government Affairs Office, they were responsible for recording Chen Xi's ideas every day and then sorting and screening them. This alone made the two men busy and exhausted.
After all, many of Chen Xi's ideas are correct, but they are usually not in line with the current reality . Lu Xun and Lu Meng can only grit their teeth and stand firm.
Then the screened items will be given to Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong for analysis. After the three people's analysis is useful, they will be taken to the relevant responsible persons in the Government Affairs Department for discussion.
Of course, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong were responsible for the screening work on the entire second floor, and dealing with issues after the screening of Lu Xun and Lu Meng was completely additional work.
The five newly joined wise men were overwhelmed by the heavy workload of the Government Affairs Office, mostly because they had no experience. Many things required them to look up relevant files, which invisibly added a lot of workload.
"Is there?" Chen Xi scratched his neck, unable to remember at all.
"I knew you forgot. Boyan, go check the records!" Lu Su said unhappily. He knew that Chen Xi often did such things.
It was as if he was looking too far into the future and was unable to pay attention to the present situation. Lu Su had long been accustomed to this. After all, before Lu Xun and others joined the Government Affairs Office, he was the one who cleaned up the mess for Chen Xi.
In fact, it is not a mess. It’s just that after Chen Xi launches a project, he will forget about it, and he has to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
After all, Chen Xi had originally set up a sugarcane sugar industry chain, but ended up forgetting about it. The industry produced a lot of sugar that was honestly piled up in the warehouse. If the person in charge hadn't come to him out of pity over the waste of sugar , Chen Xi would have forgotten about it at all. Later, Lu Su helped him to find and fill in the gaps.
Although Chen Xi was able to quickly provide solutions when these things came up, the problem was that Chen Xi simply couldn't remember these things.
Lu Xun honestly checked the diary he wrote and found that Chen Xi had dumped the matter on Feng Ji.
"Yuan Tu!" Lu Su shouted, and Feng Ji walked over.
"How's the matter that Zichuan gave you going?"
Lu Su asked without even raising his head. He had a lot of things to do. If Chen Xi and Zhao Yun hadn't been talking so loudly just now, he wouldn't have noticed.
"In the construction of water conservancy projects, if the Grand Canal cannot be completed, I will send them to carry out some branch construction." Feng Ji scratched his messy hair. The job Chen Xi gave him was not an easy one.
When Chen Xi first threw this Grand Canal construction plan with a cost of over 100 billion yuan to him, he was completely stunned. After all, this thing could not be completed in a dozen years, so wouldn't he be trapped in it for the rest of his life?
This thing is very necessary to build. It connects the east, west, south and north, from Chang'an and Luoyang in the west to Jizhou in the north and Jianye in the south. After it is completed, except for Yizhou, the world will be completely connected and difficult to divide. It will definitely be impossible for the north and the south to be divided.
However, after he talked with Yang Lin and others, he found that the construction plan of the Grand Canal could be completely divided into tributaries, so he was not so resistant.
Before, Chen Xi assigned a group of people to him to engage in infrastructure construction, and he naturally diverted these people to the construction of water conservancy projects.
Deploying troops by water is much faster than by land, and it is also very beneficial for promoting trade.
