Chapter 258 Good News and Bad News

Chapter 258 Good News and Bad News

Not many people knew about the assassination of Mengchen by an assassin, and even if there were one or two witnesses occasionally, they were all greeted by Anbu.

Fortunately, Mengchen was fine, which made Jia Xu and others breathe a sigh of relief.

As Mengchen's family fortune became more and more prosperous, Liu Bowen and others urged Mengchen to create a human being as soon as possible.

Without heirs, there would be no heirs, so with the excuse of recovering from injuries, he once again started his own way of creating people.

At the same time, after waiting for this period of time, Meng Chen found that the disaster relief tasks issued by the lottery system showed no sign of completion at all.

Although Guijian asked several times, the cold system still didn't respond.

But from the current signs, there is a bigger test waiting for Mengchen this summer.

Fortunately, God still has eyes, Cai Yan, Mi Zhen, and Fu Shou three people have happy veins one after another, which makes the whole Xiliang very happy.

It's just that, among the three, Mi Zhen's body had a slight condition, which made Meng Chen's heart uncontrollably tense.

"Doctor Hua, how is Zhen'er's health?" Mengchen asked with concern after Hua Tuo finished his pulse.

"No problem! No problem! Mrs. Zhen's body is cold, and this old man prescribes a few prescriptions. On the one hand, it will ease the pregnancy, and on the other hand, it will regulate the body. The general will feel at ease."

With Hua Tuo's words, Meng Chen finally let go of his hanging heart!
"That's good, that's good!" Meng Chen rubbed his hands and muttered a few words, causing several ladies to purse their lips and laugh.

The dignified general of the dynasty has never been so nervous before facing thousands of horses in front of him.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the impact of the snow disaster is gradually disappearing, but it is not a happy time yet, this summer seems to come too fast this year.

"Military Master, it looks like there will be a severe drought after the heavy snow!"

In the study room, Meng Chen frowned and discussed with Liu Bowen and others how to deal with the signs of severe drought.

"It is necessary to start storing water sources, but the biggest problem is the lack of food." Liu Bowen said the biggest problem at present.

The lack of water is easy to deal with, but the snowstorm consumes too much stored food, especially in the hands of aristocratic families who don't have much stored food. If there is another severe drought, the consequences will be disastrous.

Meng Chen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then turned to the door and said, "Brother Shan, tell Shen Wansan to come here immediately."

"Here!"

Meng Shan left as promised, while Meng Chen spoke his opinion to Liu Bowen and Jia Xu!
"The Penguin Chamber of Commerce is developing rapidly, and more aristocratic families have participated in it. This Marquis wants to mobilize them to go to the Western Regions to buy grain."

"Buying grain? The Western Regions are sparsely populated. If there is any surplus grain, you can exchange it with the goods that Ma Jun and the others fiddled with. This is a good way." Liu Bowen muttered to himself.

Although the effect of buying grain is not necessarily good, it is better than nothing!

"My lord, countless livestock died of freezing on the prairie last year. Most of them were bought by the counties, and the counties still have stocks in stock, because they seized the time to make jerky." Jia Xu opened his mouth. The information from Anbu is always accurate. This is absolutely untrue.

"Mr. Wen He reminded that this matter should be done quickly."

"This subordinate will arrange it."

Shen Wansan hadn't arrived at the time of the moon and half a stick of incense, but Ma Jun appeared instead.

"Deheng, why are you so flustered? It's been a while since I lost a lot of weight."

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern, it's all right!" Ma Jun hurriedly saluted.

Then he said: "My lord, the overturned car has been rebuilt. According to my lord's request, a large, medium and small one has been trial-produced."

"Hahaha, when you doze off, someone will give you a pillow. Now the military division may have a good night's sleep."

The overturned car was originally invented by Ma Jun, but the keel overturned car he made is very different from the axle overturned car Meng Chen said.

Keel overturning requires manpower to transport water, but wheel axle overturning can rely on the momentum of water to transport water by itself.

"Was there a test?"

"Test all of them, the efficiency is much higher than the keel rollover."

"How much time will it take to make it?" Liu Bowen is asking this time. If there is a car overturn, you need to compete with God for time.

"According to the master's assembly line operation method, large-scale overturns can be made in fifteen days, medium-sized overturns in ten days, and small-scale overturns in five days."

"My lord, please give the order quickly and make every effort to overturn the car." Hearing this, Liu Bowen eagerly proposed to Meng Chen.

At this moment, Meng Chen didn't answer, and was weighing the pros and cons in his heart. After all, if this thing was all made by Ma Jun and others' workshop, the pressure would be too great.

"Military advisor, Mr. Wen He, if you sell this drawing in exchange for food..." Meng Chen's eyes lit up when he said this.

No matter how fast Ma Jun's artisan workshop is, at best it can satisfy Chang'an, Sanfu and other places.

Instead of this, it's better to sell the drawings of the overturned car generously, and exchange for some food.

"Disclosing the blueprints of overturning cars in exchange for food? My lord's plan will cost the lives of other princes." Jia Xu rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes, looking calculating.

Liu Bowen couldn't help but shudder, Jia Xu is fine if he doesn't come up with a trick, but if he does, it will definitely kill him.

However, Meng Chen's words are very reasonable. On the premise that the blueprint is still valuable, try to make it play the greatest role.

"Ji thought it would be better for Wenhe to handle this matter." Liu Bo smiled slyly, believing that under Jia Xu's management, some princes might have to spend their money.

"In this way, let the wind go, and say that the Marquis has a drought-resistant artifact in his hand, and whoever wants it can return it with food."

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed loudly, finally breaking the atmosphere of this dull meeting.

Before the laughter fell, Shen Wansan appeared. Looking at his sweaty face, Meng Chen was both amused and angry.

"Old Shen, you've lost a lot of weight!"

"Thanks to my lord, I have indeed lost a lot of weight. If it weren't for the damn weather, I wouldn't be in such a mess."

Shen Wansan took out a handkerchief, and then touched his forehead randomly a few times. Meng Chen called him here, there must be something important to arrange.

"The weather is not very good, and the heavy snow disaster has cost a lot of money and food. Now the Marquis can only go to the Western Regions to buy a large amount of food through the Penguin Chamber of Commerce."

"It's not difficult, but the subordinates need time." Shen Wansan lowered his head in thought for a while, and then replied.

"It's just the end of April, and it will be a great achievement to bring back the first batch of grain and grass in three months' time."

"That's it, this subordinate will do it now." After finishing speaking, Shen Wansan saluted and resigned, saying that it was not difficult, but the Western Regions are thousands of miles away, so three months is not much time.

"Wait!" Meng Chen stopped Shen Wansan, then turned his head to look at Ma Jun and said, "Deheng makes more ice cubes and sends them to Old Shen on time every day."

Ma Jun nodded, they have already tested the method of making ice with saltpeter, and it is nothing more than increasing production.
