Chapter 479
Private Visit on Weibo
"There is a lack of steel. Isn't it because you guys don't build a blast furnace for me, so I can only use Zilong to build a blast furnace?"
Chen Xi smiled happily. Wouldn't this allow him to directly exploit these big guys? He didn't believe that these big guys could hold back from making such artifact models in their hands.
"When the people from the Mo family arrived in Luoyang, they were sent to design the blast furnace and told them whether they could build it or not would all depend on their ability!"
"Zichuan, you are really good at merging problems together to solve them!" Guo Jia shook his head with a wry smile, expressing his amazement at Chen Xi's handling method.
Chen Xi directly threw the problem to the Mohist family, which was equivalent to directly integrating the blast furnace into the preparatory work for building the artifact.
In this way, they don't need to ask for help, and it's up to the Mo family to design a blast furnace to solve the problem.
"Then let's deal with it like this. By the way, the general wrote a letter saying that he won't be coming back soon, so let us do our best!" After solving the problem, Guo Jia said suddenly.
"The general went out to play again? Really, I really want to go out too!" Chen Xi said with an embarrassed face, expressing envy at Guo Hao's behavior of shaking off the shopkeeper.
"Haha, you still want to go out, let me remind you!" Guo Jia looked at Chen Xi with a sneer. He was 100% sure that Chen Xi had definitely forgotten about this matter.
"What?"
"It's the end of the year. The reward and punishment lists for officials at all levels should be completed, and preparations for the approval of officials at all levels for the coming year should also begin!" Guo Jia said solemnly.
"Official census... I completely forgot..." Chen Xi was speechless. Wasn't this simply killing him?
But he knew that there was no way to shirk the blame for this matter, because in the current era of rapid development, some standards must be approved by him. Otherwise, according to the previous standards, two-thirds of local officials in the world would be eligible for promotion.
The standards now and those of previous years are completely different, and the gap is ridiculously large.
In the past, anyone with an empty treasury could run a race, but now the treasury has become five. The difference cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
"I will handle it, let's not talk about this matter!" Chen Xi changed the subject, he hated having to face this kind of thing the most.
"By the way, how are the local winter reserves going?" Chen Xi asked. Guo Jia and Xu You were in charge of intelligence matters, so it was right to ask them directly.
"It's basically done. We've left the part that's still nestled in the mountains. However, several Taoist priests in the enshrinement hall have observed the sky this year. Today is a good year and there won't be any particularly serious disasters."
Guo Jia said a few words briefly, and it was obvious that he didn't pay much attention to this part.
However, for the Han Dynasty, those who lived in the mountains, did not pay taxes or contributed to the country, were basically not considered human beings.
In the past, it may have been said that these people were afraid of being unruly, but now they simply want to cede territory and become kings.
If the country were not busy with overall development, these people could only be allowed to nest in the deep mountains and old forests, and an army would have been organized to clean up these borers.
Both Chen Xi and Guo Hao knew it, but they both gave a clear five-year period. After all, the change was only temporary. It was appropriate to give the people of the mountains and forests some buffer period, and they could take tough measures when the time was up.
Guo Jia gave a few final words of advice and then left. It was obvious that he really wanted to urge Chen Xi to do better.
Although Guo Jia is a prodigal son, if he didn't have some ideals and pursuits in his heart, how could he reach such a height today.
Of course he chooses to paddle if he can, but once he is unable to paddle, Guo Jia will not evade his share of responsibilities.
Speaking of which, we have already entered the holiday stage at this time, but the government affairs that need to be dealt with still need to be dealt with in one go. There is no way around this.
"It's the end of the year! It's so sad!" Chen Xi patted his forehead and thought about how to organize Luoyang to hold this festival this year.
In the past two years, there were constant wars and various intrigues. This year, the world has finally been peaceful for a short period of time. Should we organize some big events to liven up the atmosphere?
Although it may sound extravagant, the festival's economic stimulus is immediate.
Don’t you see that various modern festivals are popping up in endlessly, not to stimulate consumption and achieve rapid economic development.
Another large-scale event also has the effect of improving cohesion and cultural identity for the entire country. It has many benefits for Guo Jiale.
"How about holding a ceremony to worship the gods before the year to express condolences to the heroic spirits, and hold a military parade after the new year?"
Chen Xi was half lying on his seat, handling trivial official duties while thinking about the activities in the near future.
…
On the other side, Guo Hao is on a long journey. It is completely different from the sightseeing tour Chen Xi imagined. Guo Hao's route is more like a private visit incognito.
As we all know, in the process of rapid development, it is easy for some people to be unable to stop the car and go astray. Guo Hao is now playing the role of an inspection team and conducting private interviews incognito.
Although this does not cover the entire country, after this inspection, it can at least give a warning to other areas, which is also a good thing for people in other areas.
Guo Hao only brought Dian Wei and Zhao Yun with him. It would be meaningless if he brought too many people for a private visit in private.
They had no purpose, so they set off from Qingzhou and headed towards Luoyang along the highway, purely on foot. After all, they wouldn't be able to find any problems if they flew.
"Little brother, do you want us to give you a ride?"
While several people were walking and watching and chatting, a caravan passed by a few people, and a rather wealthy middle-aged man cheerfully extended an invitation to Guo Hao and the others.
"Thank you so much, brother! Where are you going?" Guo Hao said with a smile. The three of them all have secret techniques exerted by Zhao Yun, and it is impossible for ordinary people to recognize them.
"Let's go to the county town ahead. I heard that there are new projects here in the county town. We are here to inspect the business!"
The seemingly affluent middle-aged man did not hide anything and openly stated his purpose. After all, it was just an investigation, and no one knew what the result would be.
"Let's go together, let's go together. I came out this time just to see the world, and I asked my brother to take me for a ride!" Guo Hao was happy. It's good to be a businessman. If you know a lot, you will have information to dig out.
"General, there is something wrong with this middle-aged man!" Zhao Yunque said suddenly.
"Oh? What's the problem?" Guo Hao became even more excited. He was afraid that Yan Qing was lying in Haihe. Wouldn't it be more interesting to have problems this time?
"There are at least thirteen good players in this team, and they are not ordinary. The middle-aged man who leads the team is at least full of energy!"
