Chapter 141: Fight Caused by Thermos Cup

The weather has not yet warmed up, and Xiao Chuchu can't control her longing for a comfortable modern life.

Especially when she saw the people who asked about borrowing, many of them were wearing old cotton-padded clothes, some of which were patched, she couldn't help but feel cold for them.

[Alas, Jingguo is still poor. Although the national strength has improved a lot recently, the national ranking has risen by three places. ]

[But the per capita wealth is still not sufficient, and there are still very few people who are living a well-off life. ]

Xiao Chuchu saw it with her own eyes, and she felt even more distressed.

Although she was wearing a down jacket, down jackets have not yet been popularized in every household.

Xiao Chuchu felt more and more that in modern society, most people can wear warm clothes and eat well, and enjoy the life of electric heating and air conditioning. How happy and how hard it is to get.

[If Jingguo is richer, everyone can have a thermos, a thermos cup, a warm baby, and a heater. How great it would be. ]

Xiao Chuchu sighed, and her voice flew far away.

[Emm, it is probably difficult to use electric heating. The current technology tree has not even touched on electricity. ]

[But I don't know if the thermos and the thermos cup can work. ]

Liu Wenchang, who was standing outside the carriage and preparing to talk to Liu Channiang in the carriage, was startled.

Liu Channiang also coughed lightly with a subtle expression, stopping the urge to speak.

[Aww, grandpa is here~ I haven't seen grandpa for a long time! ]

Xiao Chuchu babbled, and in the arms of the nurse in the carriage, she enthusiastically stretched out her short hands to the old man and asked for a hug.

[Is grandma okay? How is my uncle? Has he found my aunt... My uncle is so old, but he is still single, hehe. ]

The more Liu Wenchang listened, the more complicated his expression became.

Little Princess is worried about these marriage matters?

Fairy reincarnation is extraordinary.

It's all her uncle's fault. This unpromising guy has not yet started a family, which makes Little Princess worried.

Liu Wenchang decided to go back and urge the matchmaker to come. Before, Liu Runnian did not pass the imperial examination, had no official position, and no one wanted to marry him. Now he has a salary from the Ministry of Works.

"Dad, come up and talk. It's windy outside, come up and warm up."

Liu Chan's mother spoke and asked someone to open the curtains.

Liu Wenchang shook his head, "It's not a big deal, I won't come up, your mother is still waiting for me to go back home for dinner."

As he said, he rubbed his hands and exhaled a breath of white air on the street, "Walk around and you won't be cold."

[Ah, look at how cold my grandfather is~ I wonder if the current technology can make thermos cups and thermos bottles. ]

[If I can exchange, I will quickly buy a set for my grandfather~]

Xiao Chuchu was suddenly brought back to the beautiful idea of ​​technology changing life by the word "cold".

[In the past, the thermos bottle, I remember that it seemed to have two layers of inner and outer liner in the bottle. 】

"!"

Liu Wenchang and Liu Channiang pricked up their ears and shut up.

[Mercury is coated on the inner bottle. ]

[I remember when I was a kid, I broke a thermos and saw what was inside...]

[If I remember correctly, this bottle can prevent heat radiation and heat dissipation to a certain extent. ]

[The space between the inner and outer bottles is hollow, which prevents heat convection. ]

A bunch of strange words made Liu Wenchang and Liu Channiang's eyes full of stars.

But Liu Wenchang quickly bit his tongue and forced himself to remember these strange words that he couldn't understand!

This must be the fairy text of the fairy world!

It's normal that he can't understand it.

Force yourself to remember it, maybe you can figure it out later.

Liu Wenchang gritted his teeth and memorized it silently.

[Emmmm, but I only have this shallow theory. ]

Xiao Chuchu pondered and finally frowned.

[No way, I am a liberal arts student, my science knowledge is limited to high school physics and chemistry, how can I invent something practically? ]

Damei, what does that mean?

Liu Wenchang had a headache after hearing this.

What is a liberal arts student?

Science?

Now the imperial examination in Jingguo is divided into two categories: civil and military.

Is it that the fairy world is divided into liberal arts and science?

His granddaughter, who was reincarnated as a fairy, is in charge of literature in the fairy world?

Liu Wenchang tried hard to keep up with his granddaughter's voice, thinking that it was a treasure. If Xiao Chuchu knew about it, she would probably laugh out loud in the middle of the night.

Xiao Chuchu thought about it irresponsibly, and ended with a sigh, [I wonder if my uncle, the current scientific research talent in our Jingguo, can make a thermos cup. ]

[Hey, this crappy system, I can't count on it, it doesn't have anything I want. My uncle is much more reliable than the system. 】

Liu Wenchang: "......!"

"Hiss," he quickly glanced at his daughter Liu Channiang, "I heard that you are now acting as the harem?"

"Then hurry back to the palace, Dad, I'm going home too, I have to go back to look after the useless eldest brother."

Liu Channiang's expression changed, and she quickly understood, and nodded, "Dad, next time you and big brother go to the palace together, I will bring the little princess to see you."

After that, she asked Qiuli to take the charcoal pencil and rice paper from the carriage and hand them out.

[Hey, what did mother give grandpa the pen and ink for? ]

Xiao Chuchu was curious.

Liu Wenchang and Liu Channiang were silent at the same time.

But soon, after Liu Wenchang left the carriage for a distance, he quickly walked to a deserted place and wrote hastily with a pen.

‘Inside and outside liner’, ‘mercury’, ‘two layers of hollow’…

Then, he silently recited it to deepen his memory, burned the paper with a fire stick, and hurried home.

“Big brother,” Liu Wenchang rushed into the room of his eldest son Liu Runnian, pushed open the door, and shouted, “It’s time!”

“I, your father, want a portable bottle that can keep hot water warm in winter. Hurry up and make it for me.”

Liu Runnian: “……?”

He raised his head from the pile of silk books.

"What are you looking at? You can't do it, right?" Liu Wenchang raised his head and puffed out his chest, "It's okay, your father has already figured out how to do it, I'll teach you a few mantras."

"... Dad, did you go out today to see the little princess?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not, I didn't..."

"What did the little princess say?"

"..."

'Who is the rich man' card game is sold in full swing in major grocery stores in Beijing.

There are two types in the store: simple paper and fine wood.

The simple one, with a wooden box, only costs half a tael of silver.

The fine one, five taels of silver.

In a short time, the simple and fine ones in the grocery store were snapped up by people who like new things.

"I heard that the officials in the Ministry of Revenue play this card game."

"Not only that, it is written in the brocade box of this hardcover edition that this card game is the same as the one used by the emperor in the palace!"

"! Calling a card game is too indecent. Haven't you heard that the great scholar Shen Mian, the second assistant, wrote a poem for this board game. A small table can travel all over the world and understand all principles, so the emperor named it a board game."

"!"

"The emperor and the Ministry of Revenue came up with the new loan policy of the bank from this board game called "The Rich Man", also known as "Who has more money in Jingguo Bank"."

Students, literati, and even merchants who were curious about the new policy of the Ministry of Revenue and the people with a little spare money in the capital could not wait to buy a simple or hardcover copy, and study it in a teahouse or at home.

Once studied, they became fascinated!

And they deeply realized the necessity of borrowing money from the bank.

-If you want to buy land, do business, and become a rich man, it's really good to ask the bank for a loan!

In less than three days, the counters of the four Jingguo Money Banks in the capital were crowded with merchants who wanted to borrow money.

"Your Majesty, roughly estimated, our loan interest will be tens of thousands of taels next month."

The Ministry of Revenue Jiang Li was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Xiao Yunzhou looked calm.

The method of the fairy world is naturally useful, "Jiang Li, you have to control the risks. Don't let merchants with poor qualifications take advantage of you and end up with bad debts."

Jiang Li hurriedly agreed.

"Well, you can leave if you have nothing else to do." Xiao Yunzhou was already worried about the task of attacking Duoti.

"Hey, I have a lot of worries recently. You in the Ministry of Revenue should work harder and use your brains."

Jiang Li: "!" The money bank has made so much money, why does the emperor still have worries?

Jiang Li really admires Xiao Yunzhou.

He now shows a "stupid minister" expression, which is all sincere.

He doesn't understand the height of the emperor.

"Wei Zheng, ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare and invite Sangda to the palace."

"I will practice for them on my last day. In addition, I will ask Fu Cha and Lord Shen from the cabinet to come to the palace to discuss urgently. I want to open up military exchanges with Wu Yunguo."

"???"

Xiao Yunzhou ignored Wei Zheng's puzzled expression.

He held the teacup and thought.

Duoti, he has to stay to complete the mission in the fairyland!

Xiao Yunzhou was thinking when the guards outside reported.

"Your Majesty, it's bad! The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Works are fighting at the gate of Zhengyang!"

Xiao Yunzhou: "? Huh?"

"It seems that they are arguing over the credit for the thermos bottle. The Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Works both claim it is theirs!"

"!?"

"The Minister of War is here too, saying he wants to take it to the military camp - ah, now the Minister of War has also been beaten!"

"The Minister of Revenue, Lord Jiang, who just left the palace, heard about this and refused to let the Ministry of War take it away, saying he wanted to take it to the Ministry of Revenue to do business... ah, the Ministry of Revenue was beaten by the Ministry of War."

"..."

What?

Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.
