The two of them were sitting on the lawn under the tree, and Chu Tianshu didn't know what to say.

He had no experience in this area and could not see what Xie Ningzi was interested in.

"It's so hot." Xie Ningzi said softly.

Hearing this, Chu Tianshu quickly made a fan with his hands to fan her: "Is there no electric fan in the palace?"

"What is an electric fan?" Xie Ningzi asked.

"Um...no, right?"

"Well, it's something I've never heard of."

She looked at Chu Tianshu's thoughtful look and smiled: "Did you think of something new?"

"Yes." Chu Tianshu nodded.

"You always seem to be very interested in these things." Xie Ningzi thought for a while: "How about you make one?"

"Okay." Chu Tianshu nodded: "This thing is not difficult."

Technically, there is actually nothing difficult about electric fans.

Because materials science and basic science actually already support the existence of these things.

It's just that the workers of Dayun Dynasty and those involved in actual industrial production are still constrained to work fifteen or six hours a day.

Basic scientific knowledge is locked in heavy and repetitive labor. Naturally, many life science and technology that can be easily analyzed, affect the daily lives of ordinary people, and improve people's lives cannot be developed.

"This electric fan...is actually the same as an electric lamp. It is driven by electricity and the fan blades rotate by themselves to produce cool breeze."

"Isn't that going to take away the palace maid's job?" Xie Ningzi blinked.

Chu Tianshu looked at Xie Ningzi's face in astonishment.

"Look what I do?" Xie Ningzi lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembling like the wings of a black crow.

"It's nothing." Chu Tianshu said: "Your eyes are really beautiful today."

"Really?" Xie Ningzi became happy: "I specially used the Ningshuang cream produced in Changguo in the north. The color is peach blossom powder with some of the cold white of the legendary ice and snow. It is very beautiful."

Chu Tianshu just said it casually.

Now that he heard Xie Ningzi's answer, he looked carefully.

To be honest, he couldn't see the peach blossom powder and the cold white of ice and snow.

"The snow is white..." Chu Tianshu thought for a while: "It's quite beautiful."

"Really?" Xie Ningzi smiled and gently extended her palm to Chu Tianshu's palm.

"I suddenly remembered something." Chu Tianshu considered it and said, "Tell me, is Miss Gu asleep?"

"Probably not yet." Xie Ningzi said: "She said she was taking a nap, but in fact she was mostly hiding in the room and reading some strange little books."

"What little book?" Chu Tianshu asked casually.

Xie Ning blushed: "How would I know? I don't read those things."

"Then let's go back to find her."

"Okay." Xie Ningzi nodded.

When he went back to read, Gu Feixue was not hiding in the room reading some unhealthy little book, but was settling accounts.

She took the pen and lay facelessly on the mat, with ice cubes placed around her. There were two palace maids beside her who took fans to fan her.

For a person of her status, the so-called electric fan is really dispensable.

Because the material resources she possesses are enough to allow her to enjoy the enjoyment that technological development can bring even when the level of science and technology is not developed.

Therefore, Chu Tianshu knew that similar technological advancements were useless to people like her, just miraculous tricks.

When Chu Tianshu came back, he actually didn't think about telling her about the advantages of electric fans compared to manual adjustment.

Because early electric fans did not have any advantages for people like her.

"Why are you guys back?" Gu Feixue raised his head and glanced at Xie Ningzi, then curled his lips: "I really don't know what is going on in my head."

"Miss Gu." Chu Tianshu walked over and asked, "You are short of money, right?"

"Of course." Gu Feixue grinned, but the missing front teeth still hadn't grown back: "What do you want to say?"

"I want to ask how you got your money in the past."

"The palace will pay." Gu Feixue said: "Also, during the Chinese New Year every year, I receive some lucky money from the prince, and there are also gifts for birthdays, and some people who want to meet the father in private or send news

When the time comes, you will also give me some.”

"About how many per year?"

"Last year there were more than 1.1 million."

"His." This number is really astonishing.

"Then...what about this year's money?"

"It's less this year, but it's only June, and there are still twelve months to come, so there will be more."

"So how big is Miss Gu's current gap?"

"Gap?" Gu Feixue stopped and glanced at Chu Tianshu: "Stop talking big words, first make the roller skates and skateboards I gave you and show them to me before you talk."

"I just want to ask." Chu Tianshu Ducheng: "Just asking."

Gu Feixue stared at Chu Tianshu, then slowly turned her gaze to Xie Ningzi.

Xie Ningzi bit her lower lip, pinched her hands, and stopped talking.

"Okay." Gu Feixue raised her head and said, "Father will be buried this year."

"Besides, Bailiu Province has borrowed so much money, and there are also military expenditures to spend. Although the money from the palace is enough, the emperor's brother and I don't have enough internal funds, and the palace's expenses are also planned to be cut in half."

"In addition, Ning Zi has entered the palace, and there will be expenses."

"So there is a huge gap of 1.6 million."

"What about Tianjing?" Chu Tianshu asked quickly: "Or in other words, the entire Dayun Dynasty."

"Approximately how many workers are under the age of fifteen?"

Gu Feixue looked at Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu's eyes were firm and did not waver in the slightest.

"Who knows?" Gu Feixue waved her hand: "Do these people have anything to do with money?"

"It's somewhat related," Chu Tianshu said.

Gu Feixue thought for a while and replied: "I have to spend a few days to inquire about it, but don't hold out hope. No one will pay special attention to this number."

"But what I can tell you is..."

"In the factories exclusively owned by the royal family, those people seem to like to recruit these small workers."

"Because the price is relatively cheap, and they are more obedient and easier to discipline than normal adults."

In a word, it is cost-effective and easy to use.

Chu Tianshu's heart skipped a beat.

Gu Feixue tilted her head and looked at Chu Tianshu: "You seem to be in a bad mood."

"I feel a little sorry for them."

"Can't you see it?" Gu Feixue pouted: "Then don't look at it and don't think about it. It's like who forced you."

"That's really mean."

Chu Tianshu grinned and said: "These children use it like this...what should we do in the future?"

"What do you care about?" Gu Feixue said disdainfully: "Is it something you should worry about? What is your identity? Don't the princes in the imperial court think more than you do?"

"Do you have to think of something inexplicable to show that you are different?"

"Like the old man who was killed at the palace gate a few days ago, he likes to impress himself."

Chu Tianshu moved his lips and just said: "They should have greater social value and a longer future."

"I don't know what you mean." Gu Feixue looked at Chu Tianshu with disgust: "Why didn't I realize before that you are so fond of talking nonsense and caring about things that you don't have?"

Chu Tianshu bowed his head deeply.
