"Tch, I'm just handing over the work I can't do to someone who can do it." Liu Tong waved his hand and said, "And I only look for Shang Shu Pu She, who can let him do it?"
"Well, Tongtong, Shangshu Pushe actually doesn't work well." Si Niang defended in a low voice. Liu Tong was silent for a while after hearing this.
"Even those who don't work hard are better than those who worked hard before. This reality is so disappointing." Liu Tong said a little crazy.
Even Liu Tong couldn't tell that Chen Xi was working hard. She occasionally passed by the Political Yuan. Half of the time, Chen Xi was not in the Political Yuan. The other half of the time, the upper half of her body was thrown on the table. , and half of the remaining quarter are drinking tea.
"This is reality, a reality that is countless times more real than the illusion created by the magic of dreaming." Bai Qi said calmly, "The biggest difference between reality and the dreaming technique I use is here. In the dreaming technique, you can Every effort should be rewarded, but in reality, I’m really sorry about this. Many people, including me, are rewarded without effort.”
Liu Tong originally thought that Bai Qi would give him a bowl of chicken soup, but Bai Qi gasped so loudly that Liu Tong almost fell down in the snow.
But if you think about it carefully, it really makes sense. There are a group of people who really get huge rewards for no decent efforts. This reality is almost enough to make people break their legs.
Si Niang supported Liu Tong who almost fell down, and then glared at Bai Qi fiercely. If this was the real Han Xin, he would have already taken action by now, but facing this version of Han Xin, Si Niang could only provide The most intimidating look is that I am super fierce!
"Let's go, let's go, go deliver soy rabbit meat to the school." Although Liu Tong was almost knocked over by Bai Qi's bowl of poisonous chicken soup, he quickly recovered.
After all, Liu Tong himself is a true portrayal. Ask yourself, are you really working hard?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Liu Tong understands that his level of hard work may not be as good as that of an ordinary person, but he is actually loved by many people. If he really wants to say that his diligence level may be the same as that of his father in the middle of his reign. The level is definitely not as good as in the early days, nor as good as after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
But at this time, his reputation was far greater than that of his father. In reality, it was indeed too unreasonable.
"Hey, look, Shang Shu Pu She is beating our rabbit." When Si Niang was about to board the car, she suddenly saw Chen Xi chasing a rabbit towards a big broom. There was no doubt that this rabbit was Belongs to the product of Weiyang Palace.
"..." Liu Tong turned her head and looked at the figures in the distance. It was not like her inner energy had left her body, so she couldn't see clearly, but judging from the chaotic movements, it was estimated that they were only Guo Jia and Chen Xi.
Because all the main officials in Chang'an, except Guo Jia and Chen Xi, seem to have practiced Qi Chenggang. Only Chen Xi and Guo Jia still focus on condensing inner Qi, especially Chen Xi, who was a top star in Lianqi Chenggang more than ten years ago. When he was a child, he already cherished the inner energy that he cherished very much, and now he still has the inner energy that is condensed, who knows what happened.
"Failed." When Liu Tong's bicycle frame came over, Chen Xi was sweating profusely while holding a broom. On the way to work in the Political Yuan, he met this rabbit. Although he didn't know whose family it belonged to, according to normal human habits , when encountering this kind of thing jumping around on the road, the first reaction is to hit it.
Chen Xi also had this kind of thinking, so he chased after him directly, then picked up a broom and chased after him. Fortunately, the rabbit was a domestic rabbit and couldn't run well, otherwise it would have been lost long ago. However, even if it was a novice domestic rabbit, Chen Xi never gave up. The door was hit, and the inside of Weiyang Palace was still not hit.
"Chen Pushe, where is my rabbit?" Liu Tong stopped as his carriage passed the palace gate and asked the panting Chen Xi.
"I'm helping it lose weight so that it will be chewy when cooked." Chen Xi threw the broom aside and beat the rabbit in front of the owner. This was a bit too much.
"Huh huh huh, you can't even catch a rabbit." Si Niang leaned out half of her body from the car, and then said proudly, "Look at me."
Si Niang waved her hand, and the rabbit struggled back and forth in the air to no avail, and fell directly into Si Niang's hand. Then Si Niang retracted, and what came out was a jar of sauced rabbit meat that had just come out of the pot.
"Looking at your hard work hunting rabbits, let me treat you to some." Si Niang handed the jar to Chen Xi. Chen Xi was stunned. In just a few seconds, the rabbit turned into sauced rabbit meat. He stretched out his hand stiffly and pinched a piece. , stuff it into your mouth, it’s so salty.
"It's too salty. Imperial Concubine, your skills need to be improved." After Chen Xi swallowed the rabbit meat, he commented casually. Everything else was fine, but there was a bit too much salt.
"But most people in this world can't even afford this salty rabbit meat." Liu Tong gave Chen Xi an answer on behalf of Si Niang. Chen Xi was silent for a moment and prepared to salute and run away. This matter will have to wait. , I can't afford it now. This is not a place or a county. It started from the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty. Chen Xi calculated carefully and found that it was impossible to get it for free. He would lose money to death.
"Why are you running? Come back to me." Liu Tong said dissatisfied when he saw Chen Xi oiling the soles of his feet in preparation for a walk, "Isn't you Chen Zichuan known as Lone Moon Volleying in the Sky?"
"Sorry, Gu Yue Lingkong also needs to eat." Chen Xi wanted to run away, but he still had to explain.
"Can't you do it?" Liu Tong stepped on the horse stool and jumped down. He wanted to ask about this before, but he happened to ask him together.
"It's not that it's completely impossible. In fact, it's more stuck in transportation now. Forty million people each have two kilograms, which is 40,000 tons of meat. There are still state-owned farms and ranches in the north, but transportation is currently a big problem." Chen Xi said helplessly, "If it's really in the north, the price is half lower than in the world. But how will it be shipped here?"
In fact, for Chen Xi, the problem of transportation is not a big one. The real problem is how to keep the fat off. In the wild winter, an animal of 100 kilograms ran over and lost a third of the fat. Chen Xi estimated that Really desperate.
Forty thousand tons of meat may have been a big problem in previous eras, but it was not a problem at all for Chen Xi. He could transport 80,000 tons of large livestock to various places, and before they were killed, the fat would fall off and only the bones would be left. After slaughtering, there is no meat left.
"Wouldn't it be better to sell meat in the winter and just slaughter it in the north and transport it over?" Bai Qi glanced at Chen Xi and said, "It's so cold and freezing that it won't go bad at all."
"You don't regard the people in the south as human beings." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Either you don't do this, or you do it well. It's that simple. If it's unfair, it's better not to do it. And if possible, everyone should be served the same meat.”
Bai Qi had nothing to say, this was really a trouble for happiness.
"Let's make it canned. Anyway, you have researched various cans with very long shelf life. If you can't make ham," Liu Tong said casually, "I always thought you didn't have enough meat, not that it couldn't be cooked. It turns out you're stuck here. On one side.”
Chen Xi scratched his head and discovered a big problem. In his mind, ham and canned meat were not considered meat. Only chopped fresh meat was meat. Any other meat that was not in this form was considered meat. Chen Xi habitually thinks that it is not meat anymore.
"I'll make some arrangements here. I just have some time to inform all localities to prepare new bills and buy them with each household registration." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, bills are a good thing, and the planned economy is the most reliable. By the way, It can also maintain the minimum supply for people in various places.
"Bill?" Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi in confusion and said.
"It's impossible to be free, and if it's free, it's easy for someone to take advantage of it. It's easier to exchange user registrations directly. In the past, we now have a complete household registration system and a complete village establishment. It’s less likely to cause problems.” Chen Xi explained simply, “This way it’s less likely to be corrupted.”
This is the reason why Chen Xi likes to give away physical objects and does not like to allocate cash. Cash can easily become less and less. As for physical objects, even if you want to embezzle them and sell them for other things, you still have to find a way. Now Chen Xi is very concerned about large-scale transactions. The management is very strict, and it is impossible to change hands without a wealthy businessman.
In addition, the big businessmen all have qualification documents. Being a certain company in a certain industry is harmful to competition, but it is convenient for management. In this case, there is no need to investigate if there is a problem with the shipment volume of any company. You can see it just by looking at the tickets.
"Just to see if there will be someone who can deceive others, I think it's better to post the list directly to save trouble." Liu Tong is not an idiot. He simply grasped the crux of the problem and gave it to him directly. A tougher approach.
I will directly publish a list to let the people know about this and see if you dare to mess around. The current Han Dynasty implements a military service system. Who doesn’t have a sword or a gun? Who doesn’t conduct militarized training? They have to spend money on food and clothing. You're doing this nonsense, you're just getting impatient.
"It's okay to publish a list, but let me arrange it first, otherwise there may be some flaws." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, it's good to publish a list. According to the current national reputation, it is clear that what is said is what it is, and one is missing. Zi'er, that's all the officials' problem.
The biggest advantage of the military service system of Qin and Han Dynasties is here. All young and strong people have gone through militarized training. The smooth operation of the country without turmoil is largely due to the double constraints of national credibility and local control capabilities.
The simplest way to put it is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to punish oneself, which was really spread to villages all over the country. As everyone knows, this kind of organizational power is not comparable to that of other dynasties.
Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, if the local government is in trouble, the Qing monarch side dungeon may be opened if the local organization of manpower fails. The military service system of Qin and Han Dynasties where all the people are soldiers is too cheating. To put it simply, the government officials under the local county captains really do not rely on weapons. and bravery to rule the local people.
Chen Xi began to restore the pre-Qin conscription system in the year before the year before last. That is, after the autumn harvest every year, the local young men began to conduct military training. Depending on the situation, some took one month, some two months, and most extended to the year before, and in the end It’s outrageous to train for ten months at a time...
That's right, those who are ten months old are from Liangzhou. Liangzhou people don't want to farm at all.
Now the military system is basically stable. After three or four years, at least one month every year will be arrested for militarized training. This short-term effect may not be obvious, but if it takes ten years, even if the local government officials retire, hundreds of people will be detained. War veterans also have to speak well to the people.
In one county, twenty or thirty government officials offended tens of thousands of young men who had undergone militarized training for more than ten months. It would be strange not to be beaten to death.
Therefore, the military system of the Qin and Han Dynasties had good local dominance before the upper strata collapsed. However, if the upper strata collapsed, the local area would become a pot of porridge because everyone was very capable of fighting. Therefore, there would even be a certain famous general who would directly defeat someone. In the hands of the local security militia.
This is not too outrageous, because sometimes some people have gone through twenty years of militarized training. This kind of militiamen at least survived the first battlefield, and then they became elite units.
Therefore, when the military service system was not broken down, officials in the Qin and Han Dynasties had to weigh whether they had enough muscles if they wanted to feed the common people. This was completely different from the era after the Song Dynasty when the local people had no resistance. You could not be sure what you were going to face. After all, they are elites who have been training for many years and are just short of a bloody war.
"Then get ready. When it's time to release the results, hand them over and I'll stamp them with the national seal." Liu Tong waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do here. I need to go to the school here in Chang'an to check it out. Send some meat to the school.”
"Oh, go ahead." Chen Xi bowed and Liu Tong turned and left.
When Liu Tong's bikes were all driven away, Han Xin's face turned pale, and he walked around in front of Chen Xi, showing admiration before leaving.
"What's going on? Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Xi looked at Han Xin's back in confusion. Did the Marquis of Huaiyin not wake up today? Look at yourself with this look.
"The emperor's food is too lao, and he has all three kinds of cattle, sheep and hogs. The princes eat cattle, the ministers eat sheep, the officials eat hogs, the scholars eat fish and roast it, and the common people eat vegetables." Bai Qi shook his head and said with emotion, "The rules of etiquette It is also changing with the times, and being able to promote this most basic change is what the people need most."
"Does Marquis Huaiyin admire Marquis Chen?" Liu Tong's voice came from the carriage.
"The era I lived through was an era when princes did not kill cattle for no reason, officials did not kill sheep for no reason, scholars did not kill dogs and hogs for no reason, and common people did not eat treasures for no reason. I used to think it was a courtesy, but later I became a general. Then I realized that there was nothing we could do about it. The rules set by Zhou Li were just because we couldn't afford to eat. The more etiquette around eating, the more it means it is scarce." Bai Qi said with a sigh.
"Oh, let's eat cows when we come back. Cang Hou made a good deal and said yes. He sent a batch of cows with the spirit of heaven and earth. He slaughtered them early and put them in the ice mirror, so they won't lose weight." Liu Tong replied casually, and Bai Qi smiled, the poverty that can be felt from the etiquette system!
