Regarding this aspect, Li Yousi did not come up with a charter after much thought. This is simply a dead end. Although Li You admitted that Chen Xi's current three cornerstones are indeed worthy of being the foundation of eternity, the problem is that he cannot handle this foundation of eternity. Without a fortification, the empire collapsed.
But having said that, Chen Xi seemed to be swaying around every day, taking his time, but Li You guessed that Chen Xi was also confident, so he never mentioned this aspect. Chen Xi's always prepared for rainy days kept everyone calm. ensure.
"Zichuan, speaking of which, have you ever thought about whether the world would move forward according to the established track if you were gone one day?" After thinking about it for a moment, Li You asked through this military expenditure stall. This sentence.
Chen Xi couldn't help but pause on his feet and stopped to look at Li You with a somewhat puzzled expression.
"Yes, when the chariot is soaring, any road is meaningless, and to stop this crazy chariot, probably no one can do it." Although Chen Xi was a little puzzled, he still gave Li You Guaranteed.
"That chariot will probably be scattered after losing you." Jia Xu suddenly added with a sense of clarity. Don't really think that Jia Xu's strategy is bad. He is just better at planning for himself. You are good yourself and wait for others to make mistakes.
"Before it was broken up, I had replaced the frame with fine steel and the horse with a parallel horse." Chen Xi said with a chuckle, the sealed porcelain kiln, sealed sugar making, sealed fried tea, sealed to the outside world Trade and the livestock farms in the north were the economic foundation of the future empire.
Instead of exploiting the people for food rations to supply the empire, the empire uses industry to support the world. As long as foreign trade is carried out on these three items, porcelain, sugar, and fried tea, as long as they can be monopolized, they will be enough to supply the empire from this era to the twentieth century.
As for the northern livestock farms, instead of letting the Hu people live in the pastures, it is better to separate the pastures and let the state grow pastures. Go and raise cattle and sheep, not to mention the 30 million in future generations, but raise five million cattle and sheep. Believe it or not, the Han Dynasty can beat whoever they want every year.
Therefore, the northern grasslands must belong to the Han Dynasty. You don’t need to get rid of cheating places like Siberia, but you must bring back the grasslands where pasture grows.
Instead of giving the Hu people in the north to cause trouble every year, it would be better to turn them into Han people, Chen Xi didn't believe it, under a strict pasture management system. Let them be well fed and clothed, while they still have the energy to cause trouble.
According to Chen Xi's calculations, almost 300,000 people can use the northern prairie pasture. The rest will be moved to the south for development. As for animal infectious diseases, Chen Xi is looking for an excellent veterinarian. I remember correctly that there is a family member who is responsible for it. Do this.
The problem is that Chen Xi asked the Chen family which family in the Central Plains was the ancestral family that raised cattle and horses. As a result, the Chen family elders said that all the unlucky children of those two families were wiped out. One family was named Zhao, and the other was Luo. The former family was destroyed four hundred years ago, and the latter family was destroyed two hundred years ago, and the rest cannot be used.
Therefore, I can only ask Cookie to help find some. The Tiancang family, a grain farmer, has nothing to do with raising cattle and horses. Although Cookie said awkwardly, the Tiancang family is actually only engaged in farming and has nothing to do with raising cattle and horses. Half a penny matters. But Chen Xi has always believed that these are all for food...
Everything you eat is related, so I memorized this pot cookie, and Chen Xi asked professionals to inquire about large-scale breeding. Costs can be reduced a lot, and profits can rise horribly.
With five million cows, you can almost brag about it. The Han Dynasty has become an empire riding on the back of cows. It is indeed much more reliable than horseback or sheep's back, at least it is stable.
Chen Xi didn't believe it. The tea tax, sugar profits, porcelain, northern pastures, and the existing silk trade controlled by the state can collectively achieve heroic results in the same year. Of course, if they encounter the situation of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, Chen Xi has nothing to say.
It’s just that Chen Xi has dug away the soil for the birth of the Donglin Party. It is impossible for one family to dominate the imperial examination in this life, so Chen Xi is very confident that after he falls, the four horses he left behind will drag the Han Dynasty to the Run forward.
Although it is indeed bad to use economic means to force politics to move forward, it is still much better than internal oppression. Anyway, Rome and the Han Dynasty are far enough apart that they cannot fight if they want to. Both sides can only watch the opponent when. Go to hell.
Anyway, Chen Xi didn’t believe that before industrialization, the Han Dynasty and Rome could fight a war of national annihilation that spanned thousands of miles. During World War II, Germany was dragged to death by the long supply and severe cold. Rome and the Han Dynasty looked at each other to the death and maintained their opposition. threats from the other party.
Of course, this would inevitably result in Central Asia being turned into a pot of porridge, but turning Central Asia into a pot of porridge would have no impact on the Central Plains. Let them go and fight. It would be enough to let the Han Dynasty know that they are not invincible.
An empire in the cold weapon era, Chen Xi had carefully deduced, actually only needs to ensure a few points to survive. The first is the independence of the army, the second is that the people can survive, and the third is that there is external Money and food for war.
As one of the three cornerstones, sergeants must not make their own money according to Chen Xi's definition. This class is completely out of work, supported by the country, and fights for the country. The money, food and welfare are actually based on what Chen Xi has sealed and has not yet opened. Those things hold up.
The army's material consumption is collectively accounted for by the military, government, and clan, and supervised at all levels. In short, the army only has combat effectiveness but no money or food.
As for the independence of the army, it goes without saying that it belongs to the country. Internally, it does not matter whether the green-skinned rogue guards are used as they please, but the army is used to fight against the world.
Chen Xi compared this rule with Liu Bang's previous Oath of the White Horse and found that there was basically no problem. With such a rule, future chaotic wars would basically be suppressed.
However, Chen Xi also knew that this move was unpreventable, but it didn't matter. If the military, government and economy were ruined, it would be time for the country to reshuffle its cards.
Chen Xi doesn't think he can guarantee eternity. After all, he is a human being, not a god. People's hearts are turbulent. Even if he is alive for this generation, he finds it very difficult to control. If he dies, God only knows what will happen in the future.
However, after Chen Xi counted all these things, he already felt that he had done a good enough job. It is estimated that when he used to talk about Wanghan No more shame.
It is no joke that talented people emerge from generation to generation. It is already very difficult for Chen Xi to be able to suppress this generation to move forward according to the path he has planned. What's more, in the future, all he can do is to plan this generation as well as possible. , as for the future, let’s see.
All Chen Xi can hope for is that no one can stop the conquering carriage from galloping on the road he planned. (To be continued.)
