Guo Jia smiled and did not explain to Fazheng. He knew that Fazheng must have made speculations, but he suppressed them. Sometimes the long-term friendship between the two parties makes people involuntarily ignore the correctness, but it goes against emotional judgment. This That is the so-called sensibility.
However, Fazheng does have emotional qualities. He has never experienced more than 20 years of depression. Friendship is more important to him than power.
It is precisely because it comes easily and is easy to obtain that we are dismissive of it, and power is like this for the current Fa Zheng. What is something that can be obtained easily by one's own wisdom, is it important to have friends' greetings?
Lu Su and Liu Ye were relatively silent. Liu Ye's actions were indeed unpleasant, while Lu Su was a good old man. All forces would have an internal fight before the final step, but the difference was in the degree of internal fighting.
Some forces will eventually fail due to internal fighting, while other forces will reach a balance and compromise through constant internal fighting. They are no longer bound by lofty things like ideals, but by mundane things like interests. together.
This is an inevitable step for all forces before and after they reach the top. After all, conquering the world and sitting on the world are two completely different situations. Many of the groups that were formed when conquering the world have hindered the progress of society when they were sitting on the world.
Having said that, this is another kind of Tao that changes with time. Also changing with time are those who conquer the world together. Human ideals themselves are constantly changing. Mortals can only see everything in front of them, but wise men can see the future. It is impossible for a thousand people to be alike, which means that it is destined that not everyone has the same ideals.
It can be said that most people's ideals have been realized before and after the power reaches the top. After the ideal, there is the world and reality. This is the shackles that mortals can never break away from. Naturally, those leaders with more lofty ideals have not yet achieved their goals.
At this time, it is uncertain whether the ideal is compromised by the secular world, or whether the ideal conquers the secular world, but there is always a fierce collision, and the internal fighting begins.
Either for ideals, or to keep the current status quo, it is absolutely impossible not to do one. Someone from both sides must fall, but if you attack your former comrades, whether the idealist or the realist wins in the end, it will be considered as hard as iron. Boredom is inevitable.
Needless to say, if the final winner is a realist, it will inevitably evolve into a combination of interests. If the final winner is an idealist, the ideal will inevitably be stained with secular colors, and then fall from the sublime to the commonplace. The idealists will inevitably reflect on themselves due to infighting, and then another group of tired idealists will fall into the world.
At this time, it is estimated that the idealists will no longer go to this group of idealists who after reflection think that they are wrong, and then fall into the mortal world. They have killed some of their comrades, and the remaining ones are except for a few nerve-wracking guys. I have no interest in anything else.
Afterwards, the idealists collapsed, returned to mortals, and once again became normal interest group structures. This was an inevitable scene for almost all successful forces. As for why some did not appear. The reason is too simple. Their top management is still very young, and success in the eyes of others is just the beginning in their eyes.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi wants to tell the "facts". One is to avoid upcoming disputes, and the other is to ensure internal purity.
To be honest, if it weren't for every civil servant including Li You and Jia Xu being young and in good health, at this point Chen Xi wouldn't be able to stop the struggle of this group of people even if he opened the world map.
Just because they are young, the passion of these people has not disappeared. There are still more ambitions that have not been shown. They are all in their seventies and eighties. Even if the world map is opened, it has nothing to do with them. They will fight how to fight. Can't stop at all.
As for Jia Xu and Li You, who are now considered old men, these two guys are very confident about their lifespans. Fighting for another thirty years is no joke!
This is a matter of mentality. Li You and Jia Xu basically have no old ideas. They both believe that I can continue to fight for decades, and their mentality is very young. So hanging around with people like Chen Xi doesn't make you look old at all, while some people age prematurely at the age of thirty.
[In such a vast world, I have always felt that two or three people like us in an era are enough to perform their respective responsibilities. If there are more people in the world, there will be no room to accommodate them. It turns out that we are just limiting ourselves. 】Liu Ye thought silently in his heart, how can two or three people be enough in such a big world?
【The world is so big, how can we occupy it? There are not enough people. The transportation problem is too difficult to solve. Although Anxi and Kushan are far away, they are still within the radiation range of a unified empire. No matter how far we are, transportation will be limited. We must find a way to solve the problem of troops and food. Transportation issues. 】
The problem Lu Su was thinking about was very practical. For the Han Dynasty, the scope of rule was not actually the scope of conquest, but was limited by the arrival time of the army. Once the army failed to arrive within fifty days, there was nothing you could do if a rebellion occurred. solved.
Coupled with the difficulty of transporting food and grass, the pressure of transporting food and grass caused by the fifty-day march may be greater than the trouble you bring to conquer that area. This is the most helpless part of the classical empire. It is not that it cannot be defeated, but that it is limited by The difficulty of transporting troops and the pressure of food and grass forced them to abandon the conquered land and withdraw.
Building official roads is indeed the key to solving the problem. After having the concept of Tianxia, Lu Su has begun to consider building two national roads, two national roads for An'an and Kushan. However, An'an is okay, but Kushan is too troublesome. too much.
[Jia Wen and this guy’s Ma Zheng is now barely in shape, but it is estimated that it will take two to three years for the results to come out. However, it is much better now that Jizhou is occupied. When Youzhou is annexed, Ma Zheng will The problem is solved. 】 Lu Su silently thought about the future path.
After all, Chen Xi only planned, that is to say, only made the frame structure. Lu Su still needed to solve the other problems himself. With a large number of horses, the marching speed of the mounted infantry could far exceed that of the infantry.
In other words, if there are enough horses, the empire's radiation radius can be doubled, which is very valuable to Lu Su. After seeing the vastness of the world, Lu Su no longer only focuses on the Central Plains.
As a top wise man, Lu Su is no longer thinking about leaving his name in the history of the Central Plains, but about leaving a strong mark on the larger stage of the world, and enclosure is something that is deeply rooted in the bones of almost every Central Plains person. Instinct, regardless of whether they are scholars, farmers, industrialists or merchants, or high or low, the passion for the land will always flow in the blood of the Central Plains people. (To be continued.)
