Isn't the essence of a title just the privilege plus the fief and the population? That is the question of how many households to close.
Li You's approach is to split the titles and grant you privileges or land first, and then grant other titles. This can at least delay the advent of the era of nobility. People like Chen Xi, who is only just twenty years old and are already rural marquises, can't enter the country. Lie Jiuqing's guy is basically destined to be unblockable.
The biggest worry for a country is this situation of being unable to grant titles. It’s not that you don’t have enough credit, but that you have too much credit, so much that it’s no longer enough to reward you. The things the emperor uses to exchange for your credit are no longer enough, and this Basically the source of trouble.
However, Li You believed that he was fairly accurate in judging people. As for Dong Zhuo, it was naturally a surprise. The most obvious thing about Chen Xi was that he did not fight for power at all, or that he ignored the rights in today's world.
In addition, Liu Bei's character is indeed worthy of kindness. Basically, even if he reaches Feng Wu Feng and Liu Bei and Chen Xi are at the top, there won't be any big problems. Of course, it is uncertain whether Liu Xie is there or not at that time.
However, given Liu Xie's cool character, I am afraid that Liu Bei and Chen Xi will inevitably conflict with him if they really get to that point. It can even be said that if Liu Xie cannot go through the vicissitudes of life and see through the world, even if Liu Bei and Chen Xi have been tolerant in the end It's rare for someone to take action secretly.
Not to mention Li You's worries, let's talk about Chen Xi's frustration first. Qingxu Taishan looks very rich and wealthy, but in fact only Chen Xi knows that they don't have much money at all.
The reason why he seems to be rich is entirely because Chen Xi can withdraw money from the bank at any time, and when the bank needs to use this money, there are other completed constructions that provide more money. It seems like this It's like Chen Xi can never run out of money.
In fact, Chen Xi knew very well that this approach was equivalent to secretly using other people's money to carry out construction and borrowing chickens to lay eggs.
Of course, when the infrastructure is built, money will automatically be generated. As long as the shortfall is made up before others use the money, in essence, Chen Xi just built an infrastructure out of thin air and spent other people's money. Who knows!
This is why the bank is getting bigger and bigger, the infrastructure is getting better and better, and the more money Chen Xi dares to withdraw from the bank, it is also the reason why Chen Xi starts to use credit currency. He wants to withdraw more money from the bank!
This is the principle, but this principle does not mean that Chen Xi will have unlimited money. It can only mean that Chen Xi is spending future money. Once there is a problem in one of the links, the country's credibility will be directly destroyed. Incidentally, it will also cause a series of economic problems, which are much more destructive than the one played by the current family.
Fortunately, no one can see this kind of thing clearly now, and Chen Xi is quite calm. In addition, he can demolish the east wall to repair the west wall. The entire chain has not had any problems so far, so it seems that Chen Xi is like the God of Wealth. , has the ability to make something out of nothing.
It's not like no one has ever suspected what kind of tricks Chen Xi played, but as long as no one can expose some things, they belong to the methods of immortals, just like Chen Xi's methods now. There are many curious people, but as long as Chen Xi doesn't tell them, they can only remain so curious.
Will Chen Xi say it? Absolutely not. Before the country's economic foundation reaches self-sufficiency, Chen Xi will definitely not tell anyone. There is no airtight wall in this world. The more people know, the more dangerous it will be. The economic impact of this advance method will Chen Xi is definitely not willing to take the risk.
"There's really not much money." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "I still have a lot of infrastructure to build. First of all, paving roads and building bridges must be done, which requires a lot of investment."
"We obviously don't need money." Jia Xu said sadly, "We own the cement and stone, and we can also use the army. Just a slight increase in wages is enough."
"Don't be kidding. I really thought we were only building main roads. The ones like Fenggao didn't even reach all the counties. My goal is to connect every township and even every village!" Chen Xi said with a sneer, Jia Xu also has When you are short-sighted.
"..." The whole audience was silent. No one spoke. After a long time, Lu Su said, "Throw this problem aside for now, and spread it to every village. It will never be possible in less than fifty years, especially since this plan will definitely spread throughout the country." I should be lucky to be able to complete the Han Dynasty in a hundred years.”
"Sooner or later I will announce this thing. It is too slow for us to make it ourselves now. We can just distribute the formula of this thing to the civilians and let each town and town solve it on their own." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, it is obviously a very simple thing, they It's not as difficult as you think.
"In this case, being taken away by outsiders will eventually be a problem." Liu Ye said with a frown.
"You need to take a longer-term view." Chen Xi's words made everyone roll their eyes. They had already taken a long-term view, but it was only with you, a monster, that their vision was too short-sighted.
"Let's talk about it when the time comes. The issues involved in this kind of matter are too wide, and it will be difficult to give an answer for a while." Lu Su thought for a while and said, he is the executor after all, and he was responsible for many of Chen Xi's terrifying constructions. .
"If that's the case, then let's do it. To what extent has the soil and water exploration in the Zhuojun area reached?" Chen Xi asked sideways, and then changed the topic.
"Zizhong has already led people there. I'm afraid it won't take long for the results to come out. As for the preliminary excavation, we still have to wait until next year. We still have a lot of time to deal with Jizhou's hydrology and water conservancy. It's best not to do this kind of project. Leave trouble for future generations." Lu Su replied solemnly. As their rule expanded, he understood the meaning of the inland river more and more.
Although sea transportation has reached a certain level now, when Chang'an is captured in the future, the distance from the East China Sea will not be as far away. It will be impossible for the army to reach it within a month of march.
If Chen Xi's graffiti-like inland river network is completed, the entire world, except for the Yizhou rebellion that cannot be solved in a short time, can basically reach other places within a month!
The higher you stand, the more abstract the problems you think about. Seeing the essence of things through some small things has become an essential ability for high-ranking people, and the same things that are harmful to the present will be profitable for thousands of years. , as long as you can bear it, you should do it!
"How many people do we have here who really understand water conservancy?" Chen Xi looked at Lu Su and said with a wry smile. Water conservancy is no joke, especially since Lu Su wants to merge the water conservancy network with the Grand Canal. Chen Xi could only say that he quietly watched Lu Su commit suicide.
