Naturally, Lu Su couldn't escape this instinct that penetrated deep into his bones. He was dizzy and excited before, but when he turned around and calmed down, the instinct appeared.
Those are two empires. How can the land that gave birth to empires be barren soil? Although Chen Xi's previous words contained many negative remarks about Zhongyuan, no one is blind.
Everyone knows how many sacred lands and minerals there are in the Central Plains. However, before, the Central Plains was compared with the world. Naturally, it is a poor and weak place, but everyone knows what it is.
If you think about yourself and others, how could other empires be poor? If the soil that gave birth to the empire was absorbed by the Central Plains, the benefits to the Central Plains would be unimaginable. With such an idea, how could other people not have the idea of taking over the world.
Although the Central Plains is a vast land with abundant resources, there is a saying that the children of one's own family are better than the goods of other families. Therefore, Lu Su's situation is that we are very poor, but our people are very powerful. The places you occupy will belong to us sooner or later. We need to do something in advance. Good planning.
On the other side, Liu Bei also received all the information about today's alliance. He laughed about the situation of Zhen Mi and Chen Xi, but frowned at the family's land exchange plan, but then put it aside.
Liu Bei's trust in Chen Xi has reached a strange level. In fact, this is also the reason why Liu Bei is so accurate in judging people. None of the abilities Chen Xi has shown mean that as long as Chen Xi was willing, Liu Bei could reach this point regardless of whether it was Liu Bei or not. , this is very important, and it is also the foundation of trust!
Therefore, when Liu Bei heard this information, he subconsciously guessed that Chen Xi was trying to plot against the family again. From a certain perspective, Liu Bei really understood Chen Xi's thoughts.
There is no need to ask or comfort, just watch Chen Xi's actions quietly, and results that satisfy him will naturally appear. As long as he opens his mind and trusts, he can get everything he wants. From this perspective Liu Bei, the monarch, actually did it very easily.
The world under the sky revealed its mysterious face under the veil, which fascinated all the wise men under Liu Bei's rule who witnessed this graceful figure. They are still unable to completely calm down the restlessness in their hearts.
Anyway. After witnessing the vastness of the world, the vision of everyone whose shackles were destroyed has further improved, their mentality has become more stable, and their perspective on things has also undergone tremendous changes.
As for why Chen Xi only showed it to Liu Bei's subordinates. Instead of showing it to the military generals, in fact, it is more that these top civil servants think too much. Even if the military generals are as thoughtful as Zhao Yun and Gan Ning. They are in completely different realms from guys like Liu Ye and Jia Xu who are known for their schemes.
Therefore, civil servants need to be restrained by ideals, while military generals only need to execute it with concentration. Giving them the world map is not only useless but may also have counter-effects.
But as for Liu Bei, Chen Xi has not yet decided when to show this map to Liu Bei. Now that he is showing this map to Liu Bei, Chen Xi is afraid that Liu Bei will not be able to restrain his inner impulse.
Unlike wise men such as Jia Xu and Li You, these people know the current goal better and understand the importance of moving forward steadily. Liu Bei gained the recognition of these people more by his mind or courage. It can be said that in addition to his broad mind, he also has a strong ability to recognize people. Liu Bei is really far worse than others.
What Chen Xi is more worried about is that if I show it to Liu Bei now, Liu Bei will have the idea of not waiting for me.
The world is so big, and it will take ten years to unify the Central Plains plus construction. Then, can I see other places when I am buried? This is the thinking of many monarchs in ancient times, especially the thinking of the British Lord. Unfortunately, Liu Bei himself is the British Lord.
Once Liu Bei had such an idea. Then Liu Bei's subjective judgment will inevitably speed up the process of unification. After all, those who have seen this map, it is estimated that every Central Plains person except Chen Xi will rise to the point of not waiting for me. At most, some people can restrain it. And some people can't completely restrain themselves.
It can be said that under those circumstances, if Liu Bei takes the lead and wants to speed up unification, then people like Lu Su and Jia Xu will definitely go with the flow, but construction is not something that can be accelerated just by saying speed up. Unification must be done quickly, but at the same pace. We will improve people's livelihood. That would be very difficult.
Chen Xi did not want to conquer the countries in the four directions by fighting before the foundation of his country was solidified. In Chen Xi's view, even if he won with strong force, he would not be able to make up for the loss of the foundation.
To forge iron, you need to be strong yourself. This is Chen Xi's consistent view. An empire with a complete system and complete infrastructure, as long as there is no population explosion and the pace of expansion is maintained under the guarantee of the system, there will be no problems if it lasts for hundreds of years. The problem.
As a result, the Central Plains was completely unified, the prosperity of the Central Plains was improved, and a large agricultural area belonging to the country was established in the plains, ensuring that the country could maintain strategic reserves while being self-sufficient in food, and other daily necessities remained intact despite successive years of natural disasters. Guaranteed for three years, this is the internal standard set by Chen Xi to step out of the Central Plains.
Only when this standard is reached can Chen Xi dare to truly step out of the Central Plains, because only after the national supplies reach this level, the transfer of young and middle-aged people can be regarded as a transfer of surplus labor, otherwise it will only destroy the social structure.
However, Chen Xi has not yet officially started construction of the large-scale agricultural area. The current farmland is just a simplified version of the large-scale agricultural area. Without returning large tracts of acres in the east and west of the family to the country, there is no way to build a large agricultural area.
For Chen Xi, scientific farming has been studied for so long. Soil fertilizers and agricultural fertilizers were also researched with Chen Xi providing the direction. However, due to technology, unless it is large-scale manufacturing, the cost cannot be too low. , and preservation is also a problem.
However, after Chen Xi carefully calculated the cost, he finally found that if the scale is expanded to a hundred hectares or even thousands of hectares, and inputs of improved seeds and soil fertilizers, planting by hiring, and large-scale breeding, it seems that the output will increase while also increasing the cost. It can provide a lot of meat, eggs and so on.
Chen Xi no longer plans to continue distributing chickens and ducks to the common people. Compared with the rapid growth of centralized breeding, it seems that those distributed to the common people are still being raised, which is too slow.
It would be even more difficult to raise large ones, so Chen Xi has given up on letting people raise them freely, and still concentrates on breeding. As for diseases and other diseases, after several waves of large-scale deaths, concentrated breeding can be considered as experience.
As for large-scale breeding, there was a large-scale death. Before the epidemic completely broke out, the farmers killed all the batches and served them on the table. Chen Xi only found out about this later... (To be continued.)
