Yang Xing washed his hands and sat on the main seat, looked around at everyone and frowned and asked Xiaomei beside him: "What about the imperial sister?" Haven't arrived yet? ”

Xiaomei threw some cabbage into the pot and said, "The imperial sister is not here, I don't know where to go, I heard the palace maid say that she hasn't come back for two days." ”

Yang Xing said depressedly: "Where did this go again?" After speaking, he grabbed a piece of chopsticks and threw it into the pot.

The eldest princess disappeared, Yang Xing and Xiaomei were so calm, Yuan Fang wondered and asked, "I said Yang Xing, aren't you in a hurry if your sister is gone?" ”

Yang Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Is it useful to be in a hurry?" I'm used to it, boss, since I met with the imperial sister to now, she has disappeared so quietly I don't know how many times, at first I was worried about sending people everywhere to look for it, and I couldn't find anyone who was full of wind and rain in the city, but what about people, not necessarily when they will come back by themselves, by the way Xiaomei, this is the first time? ”

Xiaomei tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "It's already the eleventh time that I know." ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes wildly and glared at Yang Xing fiercely, which means that your sister is always such a divine dragon who can't see the end of the dragon, she doesn't know where to run at every turn, and she still wants me to be your brother-in-law, isn't this pushing me into the fire pit.

Yang Xing felt that he shouldn't say this about the imperial sister in front of Yuan Fang, so he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Actually, the imperial sister is now staying in the palace with nothing to do, I dare to guarantee that if the imperial sister gets married, she will not run around, stay at home and teach her husband and children, she is definitely a good wife and mother." After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Xiaomei.

Xiaomei had long known that Yang Xing had the intention of matching Yuan Fang and Yang Yi, and also felt that Yang Yi and Yuan Fang were very compatible, so she nodded in agreement and said, "Well, the imperial sister doesn't always run around, she should have something to do to go out." ”

Yuan Fang saw Xiaomei's gushing posture, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop it and said, "Okay, don't talk about the two of you, eat, eat, I'm hungry." By the way, Damei, how is the Chamber of Commerce? ”

Yuan Fang, the president, left it alone, Xin Huilan and Jiang Chengjia couldn't work too hard when they were recovering from serious injuries, and now the burden of the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce was all on Da Mei alone.

Da Mei glared at Yuan Fang very dissatisfied: "Brother, you are the president of the Chamber of Commerce, okay, how is the Chamber of Commerce now, do you still need to ask me?" ”

Hearing Da Mei's resentful tone, Yuan Fang hurriedly smiled and said: "Aren't I busy, Da Mei, you have worked hard, come, eat a piece of meat, replenish your body, pay attention to rest, don't get tired of your body." ”

Da Mei smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, you are still so cheeky, if you are lazy, you will be lazy, don't make excuses." ”

Seeing this, Yang Xing opened his mouth to help Yuan Fang clarify and said: "Sister Da Mei, you are really wrong to blame the boss, there are indeed a lot of things in the past few days, and it is a scientific expedition and a hot air balloon, no, it is very troublesome for me to find him." ”

Xiaomei and Damei asked in unison: "Hot air balloons?" What is it? ”

Yuan Fang smiled: "Do you want to go to heaven to play?" ”

Xiaomei blinked and looked at Yuan Fang with big eyes: "Heaven? Without waiting for Yuan Fang to speak, Ouyang Xianxue, a little girl who couldn't hold her breath, spoke first, told her about the hot air balloon, and talked about it in a flaunting manner, telling her how she felt about flying into the sky in a balloon, and the two sisters Xiaomei and Damei, Xin Huilan and Jiang Chengjia were stunned and envious.

Yuan Fang fished out two pieces of beef bones and gave them to Xin Huilan and Jiang Chengjia respectively, and said, "Two sisters-in-law, you two eat more bones, which will help the wound recover." Jiang Chengjia nodded and thanked him, and continued to ask about the little girl's hot air balloon.

Xin Huilan really deserves to be a business genius, as soon as she heard about the hot air balloon, she thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but ask Yuan Fang: "How big is the carrying capacity of the hot air balloon you said?" Well, how many people can fly into the sky at a time? ”

Yuan Fang didn't think much about it: "If you don't bring anything else, you can probably bring six or seven people." ”

Xin Huilan was a little disappointed when she heard this: "Oh, that's it." Immediately, Xin Huilan continued to ask: "Is the hot air balloon good?" Can you make a hot air balloon a little bigger? ”

Yuan Fang asked inexplicably: "Make it bigger?" Do? ”

Xin Huilan said her thoughts: "The business of the Chamber of Commerce is all over the empire, although the transportation of the empire is convenient, the land and waterways are smooth, but the transportation conditions in some places are still very backward, and there is not even a decent road, just like some special products in the mountains, people need to use carts to walk for several days to transport out of the mountains, but a lot of fresh fruits or something, after a few days of bumps and bumps to transport out, it is no longer the same, I think, if possible, you can use the hot air balloon you said to help transport, well, out of some inconvenient places, We can use it a wide range of times. ”

Yuan Fang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped the table, startling everyone, Yuan Fang laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so thoughtful, why didn't I think of it." ”

Yu Jingqiu sandwiched a piece of tofu and asked, "Brother-in-law, the hanging basket of the hot air balloon is so big, it seems that it can't meet the freight, right?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled and shook his head: "It's not a hot air balloon, if it's a freight, you can completely change the structure and make an airship, do you understand the airship?" Then, Yuan Fangbi talked about it, and dipped it in the hot pot soup and drew a simple figure on the table and said: "This is the airship, how about it, with this thing, the idea of air transportation can be completely realized." By the way, Yang Xing, you say, what is the most labor-intensive thing to march and fight? ”

Yang Xing thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Logistics, boss, are you saying that we can use this airship to transport logistics?" ”

Yuan Fang nodded heavily: "That's right, let's not talk about the previous ones, let's just talk about this Eastern Crusade, the Taiji Legion plus the forbidden army and the new army that arrived later, together there should be 150,000 or 600,000 people, but what about the real combat troops, only about 100,000, the rest are logistics and transportation people, if we have enough airships to transport supplies, then what will it become?" ”

Yang Xing's eyes lit up: "There is no logistical drag, the marching speed is at least doubled, and there is no need to worry about the enemy sneaking up on the supply line, boss, you are so talented, you can think of this method." ”

Yuan Fang shook his head: "This is not what I thought of, it was Sister-in-law Xin who reminded me." ”

Xin Huilan blushed and said modestly: "What's the matter, I'm just talking casually." ”

Yang Xing waved his hand and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, you're welcome, no matter what, this matter is half of your credit, so it's all right." ”

Da Mei took Lamin Huilan's hand and said, "Okay, don't shirk it, it was your idea, Yang Xing, just talk about the merits, but you should talk about the benefits." ”

Yang Xing was hesitant for a long time when he heard this, and he didn't say why, poor, really poor, and in the end, Yuan Fang proposed to symbolically mention Xin Huilan and Jiang Chengjia a first-class military rank, which made everyone happy.
