Chen Xi did these things with the ambition of one day kicking the Qin Dynasty into the abyss of history and allowing the Han Dynasty to dominate the Eurasian plate.
Even if Chen Xi knows that this is purely theoretical, it is indeed possible for the Han Dynasty to achieve this point, but there are not many times when theory is directly equivalent to reality. The war between the Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty is most likely to last for hundreds of years. low-intensity combat.
However, just because the chance of sweeping Da Qin into the garbage heap of history is small, we should not stop thinking about the possibility of this matter. Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
Since we are destined to build such a road, we will push the strategy to the extreme in one go. Although it is a bit nonsense to destroy Da Qin because of the distance, but as there is a saying, if you don’t have a dream, you are just salted fish. If you have a dream, maybe one day it will come true. Got it!
If there is a chance in my lifetime to cultivate officialdom to rest, then invest hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer the Mesopotamia, push it all the way to the east of the Mediterranean, and create a gap in the Roman bathtub, then this life will really be in vain.
"Okay, it seems that everyone agrees. This is my plan. Please pass it around for a look." After Chen Xi made sure that everyone present had no questions, he handed the yellow and rough paper roll to Li You next to him and said. .
The plan is not long, it is just a rough outline. However, everyone who saw the plan was also surprised. People who did not pay attention to the paper may not realize it, but Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others are touching it. When he reached the rough paper roll, his face darkened.
"Zichuan, when did you make this plan? If I remember correctly, it was today that I received the letter, and you were very busy today." Fazheng was a little curious before he got the plan. asked.
"I did it a long time ago." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
"This is the earliest batch of papyrus. Did you expect this day at that time?" Lu Su's face sank slightly. He had long known that Chen Xi had unparalleled plans, but it still shocked him every time he saw it.
"Well, I filled in a framework at that time." Chen Xi thought for a while and said. He could say that in order to prevent Lu Su from arresting him for political affairs, he lowered his head and silently pretended to design a political framework. In the end, he had no choice but to do it abroad. went.
Everyone cursed silently. Then he looked at the rough outline of Chen Xi's plan, but the word "Aristocratic Family" on it was extremely dazzling to many people present.
"What do you think?" After walking around, the scroll returned to Chen Xi's hand again, and Chen Xi put it away without even looking at it. He turned his head and asked everyone.
"It is not difficult to send someone who can govern a state and is proficient in business and military strategy. There will be no problem for anyone here." Li You said slowly. It is true that he is not proficient in business, but it is essential to have an army to protect him. not a problem.
"Take a country as the foundation. Adapt this to local conditions outside the Han court..." Zhuge Liang frowned slightly. To put it bluntly, isn't it just to open a government and build a government office, not to regard the Han court as a person at all, and to find a place to establish himself as the king?
"Otherwise, there will be no way to do many things." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "Don't argue with me on this point. There is no official rule. It will take half a year for you to go there once."
Zhuge Liang said nothing more. He was not an idiot, but sometimes he paid great attention to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty. And try not to overstep it as much as possible.
"Why must we use the Aristocratic Family?" Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"In the past, the sons of aristocratic families did not need to be trained to serve as officials. In the past, a large aristocratic family could directly support a framework. After it was roughly operational, it could absorb local people. In this way, the upper management and the army could control it well, and that would be our sphere of influence." Chen Xi smiled and said.
"I think you should understand that this is not what I mean." Jia Xu squinted his eyes and said. This point is very important. The political framework set up by a single or several aristocratic families will have the final result. Jia Xu doesn't believe it and Chen Xi doesn't know.
"This is the result I want." Chen Xi saw that Jia Xu did not give in at all, "The aristocratic family must go out. They can do whatever they want on the border of the empire, even if they bully men and dominate women, it is none of our business. That’s where they can be given all the power they want.”
A wry smile appeared on Xun Yue's face, not knowing what to say. As the flag bearer of the aristocratic family, is Chen Xi taking the lead in cheating the aristocratic family or restoring the family's former glory and power?
"Let me think about it..." Liu Ye and Guo Jia spoke almost at the same time.
The two looked at each other, both with headaches on their faces. Even with their intelligence, it was difficult to see clearly what Chen Xi wanted to do. However, one thing is certain, if this is done, the political power of the place will be basically controlled by the family. . But that was the frontier of the empire.
"Let me talk about my thoughts first. The aristocratic family must move out of the country, but sooner or later it will backfire on you. Of course, the aristocratic families I am talking about include my family." Chen Xi knocked on a few cases to attract everyone's attention. Concentrated again.
Everyone agreed on this point, even Xun Yue nodded silently. The aristocratic family was of positive significance to the empire at least for now, but it might not be true in the future.
Just like butterflies pollinating plants, pollination is of great significance to plants, but after all, butterflies are transformed from caterpillars and survive by sucking the pulp of plants. When there are few caterpillars, they are fine, but if there are too many, they are doomed.
Aristocratic families are just like butterflies. They are essentially caterpillars sucking the blood of the country. No matter how they whitewash it, they cannot hide that they are an exploiting class. However, other things besides exploitation of aristocratic families have absolutely positive significance for the country.
However, this does not mean that the country will be better off if there are too many aristocratic families. On the contrary, if there are too many aristocratic families, the flower that symbolizes the prosperity of the empire will decline before it blooms.
"The Central Plains, that is, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty will be our basic base." Chen Xi's pole slid from the north of Youzhou to the south of South Vietnam, and then from the east of Qingzhou to Central Asia to the west of the Western Regions. "These places As the basic base of the Han Dynasty, and beyond this scope..."
"Is it a combination of the county system and the enfeoffment system?" Man Chong was very sensitive to this kind of thing.
"It's not considered enfeoffment, it's just that we conquered those fertile lands, moved the aristocratic families there, and established a complete military and political system there." Chen Xi said with a smile. He didn't say enfeoffment, but independence sooner or later.
"What if the family rebels?" Xun Yue went straight to the core question.
"If you go against it and get more, you are a fool." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Zhongyu, you don't understand what kind of place this place is." Chen Xi's bamboo pole crossed Central Asia until it extended to The vast fertile plains of India.
"I don't believe in the loyalty of the aristocratic family. What the aristocratic family needs is profit." Chen Xi said, and the world has collectively seen through everything for thousands of years. (To be continued.)
PS: I have been doing calculations about building roads for a long time, and finally found that in this era, even a superhuman army cannot build it so fast, so in the end I can only substitute the speed of road construction in China in the 1980s, otherwise it will have to be laid until needed. The density, really cough cough cough...
