Chapter 68 Flying Snow
The two sat on the lawn under the tree, and Chu Tianshu didn't know what to say.

He has no experience in this field, and he can't see what Xie Ningzi is interested in.

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

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

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

"Well... no, right?"

"Hmm, something I've never heard of."

She looked at Chu Tianshu's pensive look, and chuckled: "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: "Why don't you make one?"

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

Technically, electric fans are not difficult.

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

It's just that the workers of Dayun Dynasty and the people involved in actual industrial production are still imprisoned by working fifteen or six hours a day.

Basic scientific knowledge is locked in heavy and repetitive labor. Naturally, many life technologies that can be easily analyzed, act on ordinary people's daily life, 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 blades rotate by themselves to generate cool wind."

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

Chu Tianshu was astonished.Looking at Xie Ningzi's face.

"See what I'm doing?" 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 gel cream produced in Chang'an in the north. This color is the cold white with some legendary ice and snow in the peach pollen. It is very beautiful."

Chu Tianshu just said it casually.

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

To be honest, he couldn't see the cold whiteness of peach pollen and ice and snow.

"The whiteness of the snow..." Chu Tianshu thought for a while, "It's pretty pretty."

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

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

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

"What little book?" Chu Tianshu asked casually.

Xie Ningzi blushed: "I don't know, I don't read those things."

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

"Okay." Xie Ningzi nodded.

When he went back to read, Gu Feixue didn't hide in the room and read some unhealthy little books, but settled accounts.

She took a pen and lay facelessly on the mat with ice cubes around her, and beside her were two palace maids with 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 brought by the development of science and technology even when the level of science and technology is not developed.

Therefore, Chu Tianshu knew that similar scientific and technological progress, for a person like her, was tasteless, a strange skill and ingenuity.

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

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

"Why are you back?" Gu Feixue looked up at Xie Ningzi, then pouted again: "I really don't know what's going on in my mind."

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

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

"I want to ask, how did you get all your money before?"

"It will be distributed in the palace." Gu Feixue said: "The other thing is, every year during the Chinese New Year, some lucky money from the prince will be collected, and the other is birthday gifts, and some people who want to meet with the emperor privately, or pass on news. Give me some when."

"Approximately how many per year?"

"Last year there were more than 110 million."

"Hiss." 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 closed his eyes and glanced at Chu Tianshu: "Stop talking big, first make out the roller skates and skateboard I gave you and show me before you talk about it."

"I just want to ask." Chu Tianshu Ducheng said, "I just want to ask."

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

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

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

"Besides, Bailiu Province has borrowed so much money, and there are still military expenses to be spent. Although the government's money is sufficient, the internal funds of my brother and I are not enough, and the palace's expenditure is also planned to be cut in half."

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

"So the gap is as huge as 160 million."

"Then Tianjing." Chu Tianshu quickly asked: "Or, the entire Dayun Dynasty."

"Approximately how many workers under the age of 15... are there?"

Gu Feixue looked at Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu's gaze was firm, without any wavering.

"Who knows?" Gu Feixue waved his 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'll spend a few days inquiring about it, but don't get your hopes up, no one will pay special attention to this number."

"But what I can tell you is."

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

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

In a word, cost-effective, easy to use.

Chu Tianshu's heart skipped a beat.

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

"I have some sympathy 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 someone forced you."

"It's really cheap."

Chu Tianshu grinned and said, "These children use it like this... What will we do in the future?"

"What do you care about?" Gu Feixue disdained: "Is it something you should worry about? What is your identity? Do the princes of the court think more than you do?"

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

"Just like the old man who crashed to death at the gate of the palace a few days ago, he likes to move himself."

Chu Tianshu's lips moved, and he just said, "They should have greater social value and a farther future."

"I don't know what to say." Gu Feixue looked at Chu Tianshu with distaste: "I didn't realize that you are so fond of talking big and caring about things."

Chu Tianshu bowed his head deeply.
