Liu Tan was very surprised after hearing this: "Why is he here?"
Although he had some doubts, he still asked Gongshu Can to think about it more and then hurried back to the palace.
However, when he returned, he didn't see Lu Xuan the first time. He wasn't in the main hall, the bedroom, or the study!
Liu Tan walked to the back in confusion, and found Lu Xuan wrestling with GunGun in the panda enclosure.
Well, the one playing is Lu Xuan, and the one wrestling is Gun Gun.
Liu Tan walked over there with his hands behind his back and said, "So you came all this way here just to get lost?"
After Lu Xuan knocked Gun Gun to the ground once again, he looked up at Liu Tan, walked over, pinched Liu Tan's chin, kissed him, and said, "You've lost weight."
Liu Tan slapped his hand away and said, "Go wash your hands!"
Lu Xuan smiled and walked with him to the bedroom, as if the two of them had not been separated for such a long time.
As he walked, he said, "I brought some toys for Gungun."
Liu Tan squinted at him and said, "Something's wrong with you."
Lu Xuan couldn't say he particularly liked Gun Gun, nor did he dislike him. It was probably more of a love affair with him. Even when he played with Gun Gun in the past, it was mostly to kill time. This time, he came over so "fawningly" that there must be something wrong.
Lu Xuan held Liu Tan's hand and said, "I heard about Wu Shilu's situation."
Liu Tan raised an eyebrow: "Are you so well-informed?"
Lu Xuan added, "I heard it from the Xiongnu."
He turned to look at Liu Tan and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Huo is very capable. I dare not place anyone here with you."
Liu Tan didn't care. It was normal for people to place people in each other's positions these days. He also felt that Lu Xuan was uneasy in this relationship. So even if the other party placed people in the relationship, as long as it didn't touch the bottom line, he would turn a blind eye.
However, I didn't expect Huo Guang to defend so strictly.
Liu Tan asked, "What did Wu Shilu say when he returned?"
He wasn't too interested in any rumors about the Xiongnu. After all, it couldn't affect him. However... he had only met with Wu Shilu once, and everyone Lu Xuan had planted knew about it. Presumably, Wu Shilu had no intention of keeping it secret at all.
Lu Xuan's brows turned cold and he said stiffly, "Nothing."
Liu Tan reached out and pinched his chin, then turned his face slightly and said, "Your expression doesn't seem like nothing happened."
Lu Xuan took Liu Tan's hand, brought it to his lips, kissed it, and said, "It's nothing, he just expressed his mutual admiration for the King of the Northern Territory."
"Who would sympathize with him?" Liu Tan rolled his eyes. "Don't try to harass me if you have a mental disorder."
Lu Xuan held him in his arms and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, let him say whatever he wants, anyway..."
At this point, his eyes darkened: "He won't be happy for long anyway."
Liu Tan looked up at him and asked, "You've only been behaving well for a few days and you can't help but take action?"
Lu Xuan said, "They've almost had enough time to recuperate. Moreover, the Wusun aren't the main force this time."
Liu Tan was a little surprised: "What?"
Lu Xuan said, "The Wusun will join forces with Gumo, Wuyi Shanli, and Xiaowan to seize the Zhuoxie Mountain and Yanran Mountain areas."
Liu Tan was surprised when he heard this: "Yanran Mountain? It's very close to the Xiongnu royal court, Longcheng."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I'm just setting a target. I can't say for sure whether I can reach it or not."
Liu Tan looked at him, his chin in his hand. "Are those three countries going to listen to you?"
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Of course, otherwise why would I bring them with me?"
"Did you defeat them?"
Lu Xuan laughed: "No, we haven't sent any troops since last winter."
Liu Tan was puzzled. "Why are they so obedient? Do they have other ideas? For example, they might take advantage of the fact that you and the Xiongnu are both suffering heavy losses and stab us in the back..."
"No." Lu Xuan saw Liu Tan starting to talk conspiracy theories and interrupted him in time: "They should thank you for being obedient."
"Huh? Me?" Liu Tan was a little confused: "What does it have to do with me?"
"Didn't I bring back a batch of porcelain, silk, and honeycomb coal before? Some of these things were used as gifts. They liked them very much and wanted to buy them. However, they sent people to the capital to contact your people, but were rejected by Prime Minister Huo. So they came to me."
Now the Wusun Kingdom is the only country in the Western Regions that can buy things from Liu Tan. After all, although honeycomb coal and porcelain are not strategic materials, Liu Tan is now having a hard time supplying them to the Han Dynasty. For example, porcelain is only available in Chang'an and the Northern Border Kingdom, and others who want it have to go to Chang'an or Shuofang to buy it.
In this time of insufficient production capacity, or in other words, when Liu Tan is short of manpower and focuses more on the development of people's livelihood most of the time, where will the surplus products come from to sell to other countries in the Western Regions?
Not to mention honeycomb coal, Liu Bo and Liu Fuling, two useless guys, have not found a coal mine yet. If it weren't unsuitable, Liu Tan would have wanted to say, "Get out of the way and let me do it."
So now the honeycomb coal of the entire Han Dynasty is supplied by the coal mines in the Northern Border Country, so Liu Tan has never thought about the issue of export.
After hearing this, he looked up at Lu Xuan and asked, "So you agree... to sell them something?"
Lu Xuan shook his head. "I agree to put in a few good words for them. Don't worry, things are valuable because they are rare. I can just give them some when the time comes. I originally brought too much back, and we couldn't use it all, so I gave it away as a gift."
Liu Tan said very simply, "You decide for yourself. I can't give you too much honeycomb briquettes. My orders are almost overflowing. I can give you porcelain, but the quality won't be very good. I'll send the good stuff to Chang'an, and you can keep the ones given to you. Hmm, are they interested in Broken Evil Gold? But the production of Broken Evil Gold is not high."
Of course, Lu Xuan knew that the production of Broken Evil Gold was caused by Liu Tan, but Liu Tan's attitude was very clear, that is, high-quality goods must first be supplied to the territory of the Han Dynasty, yes, and the Wusun Kingdom as well.
Lu Xuan didn't care. He changed his position while holding Liu Tan and said, "Perhaps these people's main purpose isn't here either."
Liu Tan simply put his chin on his shoulder and asked, "Then what's the reason?"
Lu Xuan said, "Wu Shilu has been in power for so many years, and you're the only one who's ever caused him any harm. I heard that Wu Shilu's wolf was also killed by Gun Gun this time?"
Liu Tan chuckled: "Wu Shilu wants to use wolves to intimidate me. Not only can I not tolerate it, but Gun Gun can't tolerate it either."
Lu Xuan said, "Taking Gun Gun with you is truly a stroke of genius."
Liu Tan felt strange after hearing this: "Don't mention it, it was Huo Guang who brought this up."
"Hmm? Prime Minister Huo?"
Liu Tan explained, "When Huo Guang asked me to take Gun Gun away, he also said it was to deter others. I didn't think of this at the time, and I don't know how he guessed it."
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "It's probably not Wu Shilu that Prime Minister Huo wants you to intimidate."
After all, the king of the grassland had probably never seen an iron-eating beast before. He would not know the reputation of the iron-eating beast like other people in the Central Plains, and would not be afraid after seeing it.
Liu Tan was a little puzzled: "Who are they trying to intimidate?"
Lu Xuan shook his head: "Prime Minister Huo's thoughts are beyond my comprehension."
At this point he changed the subject: "I heard you've been busy welcoming the emperor recently?"
After hearing this, Liu Tan let go of him and said with a complicated expression: "Yes, you are in a hurry."
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "That's good. It saves me from having to write a petition and send someone to Chang'an."
Liu Tan raised his eyebrows slightly, and Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Since you've already surrendered, you should at least show some respect."
Translated, it roughly means that he knows that Liu Che won't care who he fights, and Lu Xuan won't ask Liu Che for military funds anyway, but he still has to show the right attitude, otherwise even if he says he is one family, he will still not be close to her in his heart.
If this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later. Apart from anything else, Lu Xuan still has a lot to learn from the big man. If they keep on guarding against each other, the other party will not really teach him everything.
Liu Tan had never mentioned this question of propriety to Lu Xuan, but it was important that Lu Xuan knew it.
Lu Xuan arrived, and since all the previous arrangements had been given, he also became lazy.
When they had nothing to do, they would take a look at Liu Tan’s new design, and the first thing they looked at was the elevator.
What is currently being tested is the number of times the elevator can be used. It turns out that Lu Xuan is very brave and actually dares to ride this test product.
Although they had been experimenting with sheep for a while, Liu Tan was still a little worried when he saw him go up. He waited until Lu Xuan came down safely before he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How is it?"
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Everything else is fine, but it's a little stuffy inside."
How can it not be stuffy? After all, it just looks like a wooden box.
Liu Tan thought for a moment and then turned to Gongshu Can and asked, "Go back and see if replacing the top half of the wooden box with glass can withstand it."
Gongshu Can was stunned when he heard this: "Change them all?"
Liu Tan shook his head. "No, just replace the side with tempered glass. Or, in other words, make a window in the wood and insert two pieces of tempered glass. Then add a small door. If you want to look out, you can open the door and see. If you don't want to look out, you can close the door."
He didn't know whether Liu Che was afraid of heights, but he himself was a little afraid of heights, so he made preparations for both situations.
Gongshu Can said seriously, "Then... I will give it a try."
Liu Tan simply said, "If you need glass, go to the workshop and get it."
After saying that, he took Lu Xuan's hand and returned to the palace.
After looking at the elevator, you can only get a rough idea of other things from the drawings.
After hearing that Liu Tan had built a water park, Lu Xuan suddenly thought, "Do you want to go in the water?"
Liu Tan nodded: "Yes, if my father goes into the water, I will definitely accompany him."
Lu Xuan smiled meaningfully, his eyes sliding slowly from Liu Tan's face to his slender waist, which was bound by his belt. He leaned close to his ear and whispered with a smile, "I hope you can feast your eyes when you come."
A feast for the eyes? Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Xuan. Thinking of what he had just said about getting into the water, he couldn't help but sneer, "What are you dreaming about? Don't you know there's water to rely on?"
Lu Xuan asked in confusion, "What is that?"
