"I support you on this aspect." Guo Jia said with a thumbs up. However, before he finished speaking, Liu Bei turned sideways and looked at the two guys.
"You two, calm down." Liu Bei looked at Li You and Guo Jia, "Wen Ru, do you think Chen Xi has not been given enough money? Speak up. Zichuan will definitely give it to you if you say it is reasonable. Money, you can rest assured on this aspect.”
After a while, Liu Bei thought about it and said again, "Actually, from what I see in Zichuan's situation, there is a high probability that what you said is unreasonable, and he will give you money, at most less, so I'm a little curious about the significance of your misappropriation of Zichuan's construction funds?"
"Let the military spend more." Li You said very naturally. He was not greedy for money, so there was nothing he couldn't say to Liu Bei. At most, he would be caught by Chen Xi, but could Chen Xi beat him if he was caught? Of course not.
Besides, even if Chen Xi wants to fight, he must consider the combat effectiveness of both sides. Li You thought that even if he is in a bad situation now, there is still no problem if he fights five to ten Chen Xi. Chen Xi's military formation theory is quite good. You let Chen Xi himself If you give it a try, Chen Xi will definitely be confused if he can control himself, just like Han Fei is the master of the emperor's mental skills, but he is also useless in practice.
Although Chen Xi is not useless in practice, there is actually a lot of difference between Chen Xi's practical ability and his own theoretical ability.
"Come on, come on, we need to have a good discussion at this time, Wenru, where do you think military expenditures need to be increased? Is it that the plate armor needs to be thickened, or that the weapons need to be updated, or that there are not enough war horses, chassis, or other useful The problem solved by money has not been solved." Liu Bei said that I finally caught an opportunity to use it to criticize others.
In the past, Chen Xi would happily quarrel with him, but this time he caught a big boss who had not caught up with the update, so that he could quarrel with him.
Li You touched his chin. Armor is not a problem at all. As long as you can wear it, Chen Xi can provide it for you. Even if you want to become all shield guards, Chen Xi can get it for you. The Smelting Department has recently I heard that I was going to open a trumpet on the other side of the Ganges River.
After all, compared to iron ore, the iron ore in the Central Plains is indeed garbage. There are high-quality iron ores all over the map. There are only a few places in the Central Plains that do not require screening. In addition, logistics and transportation are too much of a headache, so Chen Xi chose to open a base. Anyway, there is India. There are also large-scale open-pit high-quality iron mines, which are just a matter of time.
If you eat the enemy for one minute, you will win ten minutes. The same is true for using other people's iron ore, and you can save money on transportation.
After armor is no longer a problem, weapons are no longer a problem. Chen Xi wishes every soldier could be a generalist, preferably proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons. Anyway, it is just a casting fee. The coal-iron composite industrial complex, even the most rubbish These can also be produced on a large scale.
As for war horses and horses, the livestock industry in Northern Xinjiang is still expanding. Although it is impossible to equip all front-line soldiers with war horses, it is really not a matter of money. Even Chen Xi cannot let a mare give birth to a pony today and tomorrow. A pony mutates into a horse, which does not conform to the laws of biological growth.
If you spend enough money to solve this problem, it would be a shame if you could.
After thinking for a while, Li You finally found that there is really no problem that can be solved by continuing to increase military expenditures. As for giving high benefits to soldiers, forget it, Li You doesn't agree with this. Li You has always preferred military merit. The nobility system allows you to grab everything with your hands. The system ensures fairness in opportunities and promotions. Welfare and salary only ensure that you live.
"Look, you have no idea what you can do by continuing to increase military spending? You can't expand the army." Liu Bei said to Li You with a smile. Li You nodded slowly after hearing this. It seems that apart from expanding the army, there is no point in expanding military spending.
"However, it is impossible to expand the army." Liu Bei and Guo Jia looked at each other, looked at Guan Yu, who was also interested in the exchange between the two sides, and Li You, who was thoughtful, and said.
"We can no longer expand the army." Yuan Shu, who had been comparing himself to others and could not see the level of human intelligence at all, said quietly, "The army expansion recruits young people, but building roads, bridges, and infrastructure all require young people. With the addition of farming and enfeoffment, the size of the army cannot be expanded."
Yuan Shu did not have this understanding before, but in the process of building roads everywhere, Yuan Shu really completed the process of traveling thousands of miles, and clearly realized the impact of population loss. The Han Empire now looks stable, so sincerely It is the result of Chen Xi working hard to increase the number of unemployed people.
But the current social foundation prevents Chen Xi from crossing the 7% line. Although after crossing that line, it will either enter a stage of rapid growth, with a desperate outbreak of urbanization and industrialization, or social unrest, in a way that can be called the throes of history. A warning to those who come after you.
Chen Xi couldn't afford to gamble. After all, Xianglishi's power machine was already online. Although there were still some problems, it was really not far away from manual control, gentle improvement, and adding controllable parameters to the social development curve.
With the ability of Sorishi and his group to continue to improve and streamline, within five years, these people should have simplified the core technology of the power machine to the point that ordinary craftsmen can copy it. At that time, it will be under the control of the state and the people will gradually be removed from the land. Liberation is not much more stable than this.
Li You was stunned when he heard this and looked at Yuan Shu. To be honest, Li You has always felt that the old Yuan family chose Yuan Shu as his heir for so many years because of Yuan Shu's incredible luck.
What, you are talking about ability. Yuan Shu's ability is nothing compared to Yuan Shu's luck. If Sun Ce is the protagonist who has the aura of king and domineering, then Yuan Shu is the protagonist's father, and he also has the aura of the European Emperor, relying on ability Have a meal? Sorry, Yuan Shu can eat to death depending on his luck.
As a result, Yuan Shu's words today made Li You feel inexplicably emotional. This guy actually had some brains. He could actually see things that he didn't even see.
"What's that look in your eyes?" Yuan Shu looked at Li You unhappily and said.
"Just look at the retarded look." Liu Zhang replied on Li You's behalf.
"You are the retarded one! I have to collect tolls for sixteen years. If you lose a penny, I will shovel the Chengdu Ring Road." Yuan Shu insulted on the spot.
"You wait until a circle of nature's miraculous works grows outside your fiefdom!" Liu Zhang replied without fear. He was already prepared. If Yuan Shu didn't hand over the money collected from the Chengdu Highway to him, he would Let Yuan Shu have a city wall outside his fiefdom, and I will collect city taxes one by one.
"If you dare to build a wall, I will demolish your home." Yuan Shu said with burning eyes. He knew what Liu Zhang wanted to do even if he thought with his feet.
"What's wrong with these two people?" Li You withdrew his caring eyes from Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang and looked at Guo Jia and asked, while Liu Bei looked helpless. To be honest, no one wanted to care about Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu. Even if the lawsuit goes all the way to the court and Liu Tong comes for a three-division review, it won't solve any problem.
Back then, who would have thought that the four roads in Chengdu would charge so much money. Although everyone knew they would make money, who knew how much they could make? Yuan Shu’s original plan was to make a small amount of money, but from Chang’an to Hanzhong, and from Hanzhong to Chengdu. After the direct access to Chi Road was opened, Chengdu went straight to the sky.
In addition, after the trading city was built in Jiangling, a group of northern merchants took Chang'an to Hanzhong, then passed through Chengdu, and then took a light boat and crossed the Wanzhong Mountain directly to Jiangling.
This road is fast and stable. Chengdu is the capital of Tianfu, and Shu brocade is famous all over the world. In addition, there are many large households in Shu. Many merchants sell the things they purchased along the south of the Yangtze River, the Grand Canal, and the Yellow River in Chang'an, and then in Chang'an. To purchase a batch of things, take the super highway from Chang'an to Hanzhong, then take the Hanzhong Super Highway, sell the things, then buy a batch of things from Chengdu and go along the Yangtze River.
We drove all the way to Jiangling, sold the things we bought in Chengdu, purchased a batch in Jiangling, and then went south along the Yangtze River, Jiangnan, the Grand Canal, the Yellow River, Chang'an, and another circle.
This is why the Wei family can make a lot of money, because everyone likes this kind of selling in circles, and anything can be sold by going around in circles, because this method of circulation is equivalent to selling all the goods in the country. Went through everything.
Yuan Shu, who had originally planned to make a little money from these roads, was just like the wonder that grew on the land in the Sanmenxia area, and it was impossible to go around it.
Besides, the road maintenance fee collected by Yuan Shu is actually not high, but it is equivalent to a large logistics channel. Everyone has to walk, and there are too many people. In the past two years, Yuan Shu has not only recovered the cost, but also made a lot of money. But after Liu Zhang learned to settle accounts again, he fell out.
I treat you like a brother, but you treat me like a pig's head. That's too much!
In fact, it can be said that Liu Zhang was just unhappy when he saw that Yuan Shu made too much money. Of course, the most important thing was that Yuan Shu did try to deceive Liu Zhang at the time.
But the contract is finally signed. If Yuan Shu himself is not tough enough, the contract will definitely be invalid. But Yuan Shu is tough enough. What is there to be afraid of in a lawsuit? You can defeat me in a three-party trial? Are you kidding? I originally planned to laugh at you for a while, make hundreds of millions of dollars, and then give it to you. Now that you are so aggressive, I decided to let you calm down.
In fact, Liu Zhang was just sour. If Yuan Shu had repaid him directly, Liu Zhang would not have accepted it. But Yuan Shu also asked him to call him daddy, and the two sides were at odds. However, the two had similar tempers, so it was not considered a falling out. It was purely a fight. Timing, but Liu Zhang's level of tiding was relatively advanced.
If you charge me tolls, then I will surround you and charge you tolls.
Similarly, Liu Zhang's matter was brought to the court and the three departments' interrogation, but there was no result. If Liu Zhang himself was more fragile, the wall or the Great Wall must have been built illegally. But the problem is that Liu Zhang is also a well-known man with a very rich background. hard.
So Liu Zhang could pat his chest and say, your family's fiefdom is here, but my family's fiefdom cannot be here? This Han Dynasty hall is not owned by your family, so who do you think it is?
The two sides are disgusted with each other. In fact, no one will accept the complaint now. Even if they go to Man Chong, Man Chong will not accept it. When talking about the fairness of the law, we must first understand the expression of the will of the ruling class. You two A fist fight is better at solving the problem.
"These two things." Li You sighed, "How to deal with the last road."
"Nothing has been done about it. In the early years, there were private roads, and they were not required to be operated by the state at that time. However, Zichuan seems to want to take it back." Liu Bei shook his head. He knew that Yuan Shu had made money. It's quite a lot, but Liu Bei has no intention of pursuing this kind of reasonable and legal money. After all, there is a huge factor of luck in it.
"Will Zichuan recycle it?" Li You curled his lips and said. Li You didn't believe this. "Zichuan will not do such a thing. In this regard, he would rather find other ways than recycle it." Something I once promised."
"If we don't take it back, I'll probably have trouble with Ji Yu for a long time." Liu Bei shook his head and said, but he was too lazy to care about these two people. He bared his teeth for a while, and went to drink flower wine the next.
"By the way, the rail train is about to be launched. I heard that the freight flow in Chengdu is relatively large." Guo Jia said casually, as if he was hinting at something. Liu Bei didn't understand, but Li You did. This was an unknown purpose to rob Yuan Shu. share?
"At first glance, it's Zichuan's fault." Li You shook his head repeatedly. The tram train is faster than Yuan Shu's highway, and its carrying capacity is more exaggerated. More importantly, with Chen Xi's habits, the price will be cheaper. In this way , the ring road that Yuan Shu built around Chengdu is probably not finished yet, and it will have to be a bit colder, but thinking about it, Yuan Shu should have made enough.
"The domestic situation seems to be very good. In fact, due to the population problem, certain hidden dangers have emerged. However, Zichuan relied on various methods to cover them up. We really need to take a rest." Liu Bei sighed.
Liu Bei had never thought before that someone could use manpower to this extent. At other times, with such a large-scale mobilization of troops, such a long distance, and hundreds of thousands of troops, the people's livelihood in the country would be in decline.
"I don't think Zichuan is hiding it. Zichuan is probably also thinking about ways to solve the problem, but some solutions won't be effective in the short term." Li You shook his head. After working with Chen Xi for so many years, he didn't believe that Chen Xi didn't Expected this.
In fact, just looking at the current domestic singing and dancing situation, Li You knew that Chen Xi still had a considerable degree of control over the country's organizational power, and was still far away from the so-called unbearable. Even thinking more deeply, Liu Bei and Guo Jia Maybe these things were told to them by Chen Xi.
There is certainly truth to it, but to say it is really dangerous to that extent, it is definitely more than that. After all, Chen Xi still has a super-plan in reserve.
"Tsk, it seems that you and I have the same idea, but let people say whatever they say. I don't care about internal affairs." Guo Jia said casually, and Li You glanced at it. He knew that Guo Jia asked him to take over this matter. , but I really don’t want to do it.
