Jia Xu didn't coward Li You at all, and he was a comrade who had been with Li You since Dong Zhuo's time. He just glared at him, but Jia Xu didn't take it to heart at all.
What's more, compared to Li You's glare, Jia Xu was ordered by Chen Xi to build twenty super-large state-owned ranches. Only six have been completed so far, and the other fourteen are not yet on the road.
As for the downstream industries under his jurisdiction, such as wool spinning, processing, refining, etc., Jia Xu has only now launched a wool textile factory that is large enough to be called large, but because there is too much wool, the digestion capacity is completely insufficient. So it was earned by others.
As for the meat processing factory, I'm sorry, Jia Xu himself can't see any hope before July this year, and he has a headache how to report it at the end of this year!
Damn the five-year plan. I originally thought that the animal husbandry industry was very easy to develop, and horse administration was the big one. But now Jia Xu looks back and sees that emotional horse administration is a subordinate industry of the animal husbandry industry. Although it is important, it may not be connected in terms of scale and management. Not even one-fifth was accounted for.
Jia Xu said Chen Xi, you are really good at fooling me! Dig a hole, kick people in without looking, and call it a nice name. Just go and do it. Anyway, you've been better than others of the same type before, so just do it smoothly. Tell me what it's called. Shunshou, trusting you is the biggest mistake of my life.
In addition to those downstream industries that support animal husbandry, although Chen Xi said at the time that it was very easy and he could just do it casually, this kind of thing is very simple.
But in fact, Jia Xu said that he really didn't know the situation that time and thought that the situation was not too complicated. But what is the reality?
Anything that costs tens of millions is not that simple. Naturally, what Chen Xi originally called simple supporting facilities has become very important.
Even based on the current scale, Jia Xu can roughly estimate the income that its subordinate industries will have when all planned industries are completed.
Such a large-scale income can provide financial resources and materials that are enough for Chen Xi to squander at will. It also far exceeds the financial resources of the Han Dynasty in its so-called prosperous times. This terrible internal affairs level is really enough to make people despair. .
As Jia Xu who is now being forced to do this, can you say that I won’t do this? This is a great cause, this is a political achievement, this is related to a century-old plan. Even a person like Jia Xu can't say that he won't do it. I can't afford to lose this person. Let's do it. I'm afraid that others will do it. According to the progress, today at 1 o'clock , at one o'clock tomorrow, I will finish it sooner or later, hehehe~
So after feeling Li You's glare, Jia Xu, who pretended to be fine for a while, silently looked up at Chen Xi, his eyes full of dissatisfaction. Chen Xi understood the meaning instantly and coughed twice.
"Ahem, cough, cough, but the five-year plan has just started. Take your time, I'm not in a hurry." Chen Xi's tone of voice once again brought a touch of arrogance. Liu Bei couldn't help but tilt his head when he heard it. It was still the same as before. This guy's nature has not changed at all.
"In this case, let's train one hundred thousand shield guards first, and draw people from the field soldiers, from the reserve army, or from the ranks of retired officers who have become junior officers." Liu Bei knocked on the table and called everyone Pay attention.
"What I mean is that it is better to draw troops from the field soldiers, and draw some from those who have retired and become reserve officers. These people are thirty-three, forty-five years old, and have experienced a lot of wars. They have never stopped training as officers, and they have been transferred to the new army as officers. The backbone generals at the bottom should be fine." Chen Xi said naturally, and Liu Bei nodded and said yes.
"How about I choose people? Compared to you, the ones I choose should be more suitable. Moreover, it is a waste for many people in Yecheng and Taishan to be farmers. Now the roads are smooth, there are no bandits and bandits, and there are few businessmen. I hired them as guards during the off-season." Liu Bei agreed, "Over the past few years, they should understand that I, Liu Bei, am not a man who keeps his word."
When Li You and others heard this, they all nodded. There may be about two hundred people in Mount Tai, in the west of Qingzhou, and in the south of Jizhou, who have the fighting ability to practice Qi to become a gang. These people were once Taishan bandits, Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, and Black Mountain Yellow Turbans.
When Liu Bei accepted these people, they had some scruples after all, so many of them became common people. In the early years, good people like Li Tiao, Xue Zhou, Fan Zhe, and Zhang Du were selling vegetables and buying steamed buns. Now The situation has improved a lot, but there are still many Qi Lian Chenggang farming and selling vegetables!
After all these years, Liu Bei also felt that those people should understand what kind of people they are. With such fighting power and relying on the distributed fields to farm, although the days can pass, compared with their strength, they are far behind. !
Not to mention others, such as Chen Hong, Zhang Damu and other Yellow Turban guys who participated in the war in their early years have now experienced hundreds of battles. Even if they gain experience, there is no problem in becoming a captain of thousands.
You must know that among the thousands of generals in the Han Dynasty, the rank of captain was actually very good, and he was basically considered a middle-level general.
No bragging, no slander, with a regiment of about 50,000 people, mid-level generals who enter this level are qualified to go into accounts and follow orders when the army is fighting, and they will have relatively detailed tasks. They are already considered generals. .
Let me tell you, in Yecheng, in the three places of Linzi, there are probably not more than a hundred people who can securely hold positions of this level.
"I think, Mr. Xuande, you are completely provoking trouble." Chen Xi touched a teacup from the side, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked at Liu Bei speechlessly. Everyone else also felt that Liu Bei did this on purpose. But Huangfu Song is training his troops, you pick these people as the backbone.
"Their background is most suitable for serving under Huangfu Yizhen." Liu Bei said with a smile, "Others they may still have complaints, but if it is Huangfu Yizhen, no matter how many words they have, they still need it. Hold it in."
Chen Xi held his forehead speechlessly. This is true. After so many years, it is time to look past what happened back then. To make these thorny heads obey, probably only certain special characters can do so.
Huangfu Yizhen is indeed very special to the Yellow Turbans, so special that Huang Turban Qushuai can hate Huangfu Song, but Huangjin Qushuai will never doubt that the other party has no ability to command them.
Although these people are thorny, but relatively speaking, they can be regarded as the most experienced middle-level backbones in the world. That experience is completely gained with their lives, which is enough for them to show extremely high quality when commanding a small army, and with Huangfu Song's terrifying army command cooperated with each other, and they really complemented each other.
"It's just, Mr. Xuande, are you sure that if you do this, the two sides won't fight? I saw it today. Huangfu Song found out that Zang Ba had the imperial will of the Yellow Turban on Zang Ba. The first time he saw it, in front of me He asked, can I kill him?" Chen Xi raised his forehead and didn't want to speak.
Hearing Chen Xi's words, Liu Bei smiled and explained, "Don't worry, the person I chose is definitely not that extreme character. What's more, we don't have many middle-level backbones."
Liu Bei understands this kind of thing very well. If he hadn't come from a lower class background and understood what the Yellow Turbans lived like back then, it would be difficult for him to forgive the Yellow Turbans that led to the collapse of the Han Dynasty.
Chen Xi nodded silently after hearing this. A legion cannot be supported by just one famous general. The importance of a large number of middle and lower levels is self-evident. However, Chen Xi can only barely scrape together enough middle-level backbones.
As for whether these people are excellent or not, it can only be tested by war. At least according to the current situation, they are probably barely enough.
Speaking of which, Liu Bei's lack of middle-level backbone generals was mainly because Yuan Tan dragged away four to five hundred generals who could serve as the middle-level backbone.
As a result, although Liu Bei accepted Yuan Shao's legacy, a very important part of it was missing, so that the army looked a bit bloated.
It has to be said that Yuan Shao was indeed very popular in his life. If the Yuan family in Hebei rose to prominence, it would definitely be due to the contributions of those four to five hundred backbones.
In fact, when Chen Xi said this, Xu You had already connected with the Slavs in Eastern Europe. Compared with the difficult situation that Xu You originally estimated, the reality was so smooth that Xu You was a little unbelievable. At the cost, Xu You Now it's a bit difficult to start.
The Slavic nation is born with a gene for alcoholism. Even if they don't have good wine in this era, they still drink alcohol!
I have to mention here that before the Slavs in the Eastern European plains established their first principality in the sixth or seventh century, the tribes in their various regions were quite united. This is why they were not conquered by the Romans even if they touched the Danube River. important reason.
Of course, the Slavs did not learn many useful techniques from the Romans, but they learned to drink alcohol, and they drank heavily. It may be because of the cold winter in Eastern Europe that the Slavs developed a crazy pursuit of high alcohol.
However, the Slavic peoples were in a very confused state during this period, to a degree that made one wonder whether they had been brain-limited.
They occupy the best and largest black soil plain in Eastern Europe. However, they have not learned to farm at all and basically rely on fishing and hunting.
They owned some of the best open-pit iron mines in the world, and the quality was so good that you could smelt iron by picking up ore from the ground and throwing it into a furnace. However, until the fourth and fifth centuries, stone axes and knives were still dug out of their tombs.
The only wine-making technology that the Slavs learned from the Romans took three to four hundred years of research, but they couldn't even make high-alcohol wine. They have a mysterious IQ.
This magical nation, if it weren't for their incredibly high combat power, they would probably have been killed long ago given their current mystical IQ.
When Xu You climbed over the Ural Mountains, he was ready to fight the barbarians on the west side of the Ural Mountains. However, the reality was that the Slavs whose arms were thicker than Xu You's legs expressed their displeasure in the name of the distilled alcohol. You are their lifelong friend.
Even because of the current degree of unity of the Slavs, soon even the Slavs on the Baltic Sea coast tasted a small cup of high-strength wine, so the Slavs who tasted that sip of wine said that as long as they gave themselves a cup of wine, what Romans, I Dare to challenge a brown bear with your bare hands, ho ho ho~
The problem is that making wine requires food, and high-quality wine requires distillation. Sizhao City, which is next door to the east of the Ural Mountains, now has a problem even being self-sufficient in food.
It’s not that there’s not enough land. The water conservancy and soil quality in places that can become industrial zones in the future will not be too bad. What’s missing is manpower. Samoyeds and Arctic barbarians all don’t know how to farm. Except for Yuan Tan’s own Those people, even the barbarians in Sizhao City can't learn it now!
When he discovered this problem, Xu You suddenly realized that he had thought too much before, and it turned out that it was because he couldn't understand each other.
Although this barbarian who claims to be a Slav seems to be easy to recover, and even after a barrel of wine, the relationship between the two parties has reached a level of mystery. The other party is even willing to pat his chest and show that he fights for them, but the problem now is that the old Yuan family has no So much food.
However, looking at the opponent's terrifying combat power, Xu Yousi thought about it and decided to use the gold mine to purchase large quantities of alcohol from the Central Plains. Under the control of Chen Xi and Cookie, the Central Plains had long since stopped prohibiting alcohol and collected hundreds of tons of alcohol. , first bribe this nation, taking advantage of the opponent's abnormally high combat effectiveness.
Xu You's plan to go to the Central Plains to buy drinks with gold is still a bit far away now. The closest thing to the current situation is the training of shield guards.
Although Huangfu Song always looked at Zang Ba a little strangely, he never took action after all. But having said that, Huangfu Song led the troops, trained the troops, and commanded the large army to stand up to Zang Ba. But when it came to a fight, the two of them would be the other way around. .
"The quality of these soldiers is indeed beyond imagination. At this rate, it will take about half a year for the adaptive talent to take shape." Huangfusong said with satisfaction. He had mostly tested their quality before, but he didn't expect this group of guys to carry a weight of 200 kilograms. , all of them have good physiques, and each one exceeds the level he previously estimated. These people have the qualifications to become top elites.
"General Huangfu, I actually wanted to ask before, how high the physical consumption of self-weight adaptation talent is, or in other words, whether this unit will have the agility and mobility of ordinary infantry or the mobility of heavy infantry after it is formed." Zang Ba saw it. Huangfu Song asked the soldiers to start resting, and hurried over to ask. He had always wanted to know this.
Although every time Zang Ba ran over, he felt Huangfu Song's malicious intent shrouding him, but Zang Ba was not afraid of trouble at all. Huangfu Song wanted to beat him, but was he afraid of this?
"Then what do you think is the matter of self-respect and adaptive talent?" Huangfu Song glanced at Zang Ba and said.
"Probably training, training, getting used to it, but the physical exertion should still be there." Zang Ba thought for a while and said, this point is actually very important to him. If it is heavy infantry, then when fighting You have to think about physical distribution.
