There are endless troubles. Chen Xi and Li You once discussed this problem, but Li You's solution was to not even have trouble!
When the aristocratic families returned to the north, Li You killed a group of aristocratic families, and they were the kind that didn't even have the scum left. The reason why there are still people in those aristocratic families who are from famous families is that Li You directly killed these heinous groups. , after killing the unforgivable guy, let the aristocratic family members of Liu Bei's family become this passerby despite their family reputation and lineage.
Are you saying this is fake? No, no, no, not at all. Look at the servants, they all say yes, and people familiar with it are also there. How could it be fake? Aren’t they all named Zhao?
If the annihilation of the clan cannot be solved, then the three tribes. If the three tribes cannot be solved, then the nine tribes. If the chief culprit cannot be implicated, simply kill the civet cat and replace the prince. There is no problem in this world that cannot be solved. As long as the path is correct, the solution will always be better than Lots of questions.
Therefore, Li You can firmly say that there will be no future troubles for the problems he handles. If there are any troubles, it must be because he did not follow his routine.
Chen Xi didn't believe in this evil at first, but seeing Li You's repeated frauds, Chen Xi could only hold his nose and admit it. Li You's method can indeed solve many problems.
However, Li You would occasionally admit that his method was not suitable for use in the Central Plains. After all, they were all from the Yanhuang family, and the Xia Miao descendants were constantly exterminating people. It was really not good to cut off their incense, so Chen Xi took action at that time. Qing, Xiaozhi Yili, said that this is indeed the case, and we try not to do this. However, Li You said that sometimes, if we don't be ruthless, we really can't solve the problem.
However, Li You assured Chen Xi that even if he was ruthless, he would not cut off his legacy and make his heirs extinct. Chen Xi said hehe, while he wanted to completely solve the problem without leaving any future troubles, he would also continue his legacy and prevent his heirs from being extinct. How could such a thing be done.
In the end, Li You really did it. He wiped out the whole family, burned the whole house with fierce fire oil, and scattered the ashes. After that, he found an heir for this surname and inherited the family name. Remember to make sacrifices during the holidays. Just the ancestors will do.
A big family cannot do this kind of thing, but if a small family can steal the reputation of a family, they really don't mind changing their lintel. After all, a small family wants less. If they show their loyalty to Li You, they can change it. If you have the opportunity to leap over the dragon gate, can you not do it?
So Li You's performance really stunned Chen Xi. While solving the problem, he really didn't leave any future troubles. More importantly, he added a lot of his own people.
Lu Su also vaguely knew this kind of gameplay. This kind of gameplay of civet cat for prince was actually very easy given the current strength of the central government of the Han Dynasty. However, Lu Su was too shameless to afford such a thing, so Only milder means can be used.
"There is no need to worry in the south." Liu Bei has a gentle temperament and has no idea of completing the achievements of the Qianqiu in one generation. Transcendence of the ancestors is indeed the goal, but as long as he continues to advance, there is no need to overdraw the national power, even if Chen Xi can do it very good.
"After all, the south is a grain-producing area that is being built, clan." Chen Xi sighed and said, some things are really difficult to eliminate after taking too long, just like the Wuxi Barbarians still have a tribal system, and they should obviously gather villages Bingzhai separated these people and then switched to the Han family's method of exchange. However, the local people were already satisfied with their current life and had no interest in moving.
No matter how good life is in the future, the happiness that can be seen in front of them is enough to attract many people, not to mention that many times in history, the so-called beauty of the future is just a big pie.
This is where Chen Xi is most helpless. Yuan Feng's national reputation has been very good this time, but the people in remote mountainous areas have doubts about this, which is very helpless. Moreover, for his own people, especially the people in the head of Guizhou, Chen Xi is If you can't make a deadly move, you can't do it unless you take the initiative to resist the law.
"The problem of grain-producing land is not big. Han Mou carefully investigated the climate and soil in the south. The problem of becoming a grain-producing land is not big. In fact, the problem before was just the development intensity of the south, miasma poisonous insects, mountains, forests and waters. These are all obstacles. The factor of going south." Lu Su nodded and said.
"We have professionals to deal with poisonous insects now, and there are medicines for miasma. The same goes for water and soil problems. In fact, the biggest problem now is population." Chen Xi sighed and said that now actually all problems are stuck in population.
At the peak of Emperor Huan's reign, there were nearly 60 million people in the Han Dynasty. However, the problems of the years since then have been continuous famines, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's political chaos, and Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing's influence several times before they came out of Qinghao Tang. Plague in the state.
In fact, after the princes challenged Dong, the population of the Han Dynasty actually dropped to more than 40 million. Coupled with subsequent governance issues in various places, as well as natural disasters and wars, the population actually continued to decline.
In other words, the population of places such as Taishan and Qingzhou has really increased under Chen Xi's administration. Among the remaining states, only Yuzhou, which is the state under Yuan Shu, has not suffered serious population losses. The other states, Youzhou, and Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yongliang, and Yanzhou basically suffered military disasters.
On the contrary, because of a plague that had the greatest impact on Yuzhou in official history, Chen Xi killed it in Xuzhou first, so that Yuzhou's losses were actually not great.
Of course, the most important point here is that there are many real people in Yuzhou, and besides not producing horses, everything else is produced. However, Yuan Shu's son died much earlier than the official history, and Yuan Shu didn't even have the temperament to become emperor. He looks for Sun Ce around the clock, hoping that Sun Ce will be his son.
Therefore, Yuzhou has truly escaped the entire period of more than ten years of turmoil. This is also an important reason why the people in Runan have a good impression of Yuan Shu, because Yuan Shu has no time to lose his family in this life, so there is no point in losing his family.
After the Han Dynasty was unified and Chen Xi came to power, the entire Central Plains quickly entered a period of recovery, but it took at least eighteen years for an adult labor force. Chen Xi was not a god. Even if the Han Dynasty had added millions of people in recent years, this Millions of people are not laborers.
In addition, major aristocratic families continue to recruit people, even if they have stopped now, they have left a lot of mess in the Central Plains. Thanks to Chen Xi who is in charge, this can still be stable, otherwise where would it be like now? While fighting abroad, he was restoring national strength at home.
"Actually, the population is recovering." Lu Su sighed and said. He saw a lot of babies along the way, especially now that Chen Xi controls prices, and the things he just needs are very cheap. Therefore, when Lu Su went north, he saw a lot of babies. The situation of a family with four or five children missing.
"Can you work?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said. Did he know that the population was recovering? No matter what you say now, even if you don't have any skills, you can still survive if you have the strength to move bricks. After all, these places are really for food, but at least it has to be labor.
Lu Su looked at Chen Xi speechlessly, and Liu Bei also sighed. In fact, Chen Xi and him had discussed these things before, but population is really a very important issue.
Chen Xi even had a population-income discussion with Liu Bei on this issue. Finally, Liu Bei clearly understood how big the dividends that the population size can bring if agriculture can support it. Of course, if it cannot support it, That would be really troublesome.
But Chen Xi just laughed at this problem. He couldn't raise it. The whole of Asia was about to be conquered. With the Han Dynasty's farming technology and a territory of this level, it's not a big deal without bragging. One billion people is actually not a big problem, but to reach One billion people, based on the current population growth rate and average age-related death rate, is estimated to take one to two hundred years, and with that much time, it is time for industrialization.
After all, standard parts, precision, and specialized subjects have all come out. Those who have leisure and money, and are very likely to become larger in the future, will gradually enter these disciplines, and the recklessness will come out. Not going to industrialize? Just kidding!
A large group of people with the same interests and free time can gather together. Even an interest group can produce something, let alone one that is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions.
Can't calculus be solved without Leibniz? Can't classical mechanics exist without Newton? I'm afraid I'm not going to die laughing, but a flash of inspiration does require genius, but the accumulation of technology and innovation like industrialization, piling up people and piling up money, will solve the problem sooner or later.
So Chen Xi didn't panic at all. He was a little pity at most. Unfortunately, the limit of productivity in this era can only reach the current level. No matter how much energy he has, it will be difficult to surpass this limit.
"Let's talk about it later, we're here." Liu Bei felt the frame of the car pause, took a look at the car, and said to the two of them.
"I'm back." Lu Su stood at the door of his house and knocked on the door. The concierge opened the door. Lu Su asked softly and made sure that his grandmother had rested. He could only inform the housekeeper to wait until his grandmother woke up, and then He led a group of people straight to the main hall.
"After Zijing left, except for the New Year holidays when I came to visit Sisi Jing's grandmother, there were fewer visits at other times." Guo Jia said, looking at Lu Su's back.
"There's nothing we can do. Zijing isn't here, so we can only come over during the New Year." Chen Xi said casually, "But things got a lot better after that."
In fact, one of the reasons why Liu Bei transferred Lu Su back from the south was that Lu Su's grandmother was not in good health recently. After all, the average person in this era was only over 30 years old. Lu Su's grandmother was now over 70 years old. In this era, Already a senior citizen.
"Come on, let's make a toast first." Liu Bei said with a smile as he picked up a glass of wine.
Eight stoves are burning, and the temperature in the hall instantly rises to summer. Unfortunately, coal is not worth much now. You can buy a lot of it for a few pennies. If you think it is expensive, you can even take a basket to the household coal mine in Chang'an North to pick it up. .
The mine was specially opened by Chen Xi for the people of Chang'an. It was also an open-air mine. Each person took a basket of notes a day. If it was too expensive, he would carry it himself. As a result, Chen Xi had such restrictions, but someone actually turned it into a business.
Some people don't carry coal every day, but go to factories and mines to get coupons, and then sell them to other people who are not qualified to receive the coupons at a price lower than half of the market price of coal.
So there were people who didn't live in Chang'an, but came here with a note to pick up a basket of coal and carry it home. Faced with this situation, Chen Xi couldn't complain. Those who came to catch the morning market and gather at the gathering were all from a few years ago. He came from ten miles away, sold the things, collected the unwanted notes from the Chang'an people, and then asked his nephew to carry the coal in a basket...
It was completely idle, and I could just earn some traveling expenses and food expenses by carrying it back.
Chen Xi has nothing to say to this kind of thing. He can only change the note to one that can be taken on the same day. Anyway, you have the ability to come to the morning market every day.
It turns out that there really is such a person. His home is more than ten miles away. He comes to work every morning. After finishing the day's work, he carries a basket of coal back. Faced with this terrifying physical condition, Chen Xi arranged for several veterans to work in the mine. , found one, and sent one to the barracks.
As for other things, there is really nothing we can do. The wisdom of the people will always leave people speechless.
"Welcome back, and congratulations on taking over the post of Shangshu Ling." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Let's work hard together. Without Zijing, the work will be difficult."
Lu Su rolled his eyes, are you kidding me? You just said you just wanted to share the work with me, and I won't scold you for pretending.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to leave.
Everyone else also nodded and said that they would go to give Zhuge Liang courage tomorrow, but Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing. He and Lu Su had a good relationship that they had worked overtime. How could they not come to greet Lu Su when he returned to Chang'an to take up his post? Sober.
"Ah, Kong Ming finally got married. Wen Ru's daughter is really powerful." Lu Su finally said what he was thinking after watching Zhuge Liang leave in the snow.
"How can a family like that not be great?" Jia Xu replied casually, "Wen Ru's character has a great influence on his daughter."
"Kong Ming can't bear it either. Huang is the daughter of a great Confucian and is very good at etiquette, but not everyone has Cai's decisiveness." Liu Ye said with a smile.
Liu Ye has also met a lot of daughters of great scholars in these years. Huang Yueying is already considered good, but some of them are really stupid women who have suppressed their nature.
In fact, the most powerful Confucian girls Liu Ye has seen in so many years are Cai Zhaoji and Cai Zhenji. The former's talent and determination, and the latter's wisdom and decisiveness all make Liu Ye admire them. This is the true meaning of being born a man and being able to A strong person who adds a chair to the political chamber.
"Huang's talent is not weak, and is even better than that of Wen Ru's daughter, but there is a gap between the two in their temperaments and their education methods." Chen Xi shook his head and said, if Huang Yueying is Li You's daughter, if Li Yuan is Huang Chengyan's Daughter, I'm afraid Li Yuande will lose miserably.
Huang Yueying's qualifications are very good, but Huang Chengyan teaches Confucianism and Taoism. Li Yuan's qualifications are also good, but there is still a big gap compared with Huang Yueying's self-taught spiritual talent monster.
The reason for the tie was more because Li You behaved like a king and had a sense of martyrdom if he failed. Huang Yueying probably didn't want to compete with the dead, so she lost.
