The injections developed by Zhang Ji and others are not the type that can directly make people look 20 years younger. They are more about extending youth to a certain extent. Therefore, they are very effective for those old people who exercise well and are in good physical condition.
For most civil servants, they are probably just hanging on for their lives. If you use your mental talent before fighting, it will cause a certain amount of pressure on the spirit. After you fight, it will still cause pressure on the spirit. To put it simply, this thing is just hanging on for a life, not a real life. Rejuvenate. This is also the time when Huangfu Song is risking his life. He still needs special injections to restore all aspects of his functions to his youthful state, because only that kind of Huangfu Song is the true military god goalkeeper. The normal Huangfu Song is actually just frozen in the Recuperate to peak condition before injection.
This peak state refers to the peak state that is roughly equivalent to Huangfusong's sixty-year-old, rather than turning forty and continuing to develop towards the sixty-year-old peak. If Huangfusong really has accumulated such experience at the age of forty, It’s time to rub your own framework system and become a military god.
Therefore, after taking the injection to restore youth, Huangfusong directly reached the top of the framework system. Within the framework, he could compete with Han Xin, but that injection consumed energy and energy. Even if a miracle doctor was watching, he would replenish it after use. Even my age cannot bear to do this.
People always need to accept old age, and time is fair to everyone. Of course, no matter how optimized the injection is, the price cannot be reduced. Therefore, if anyone needs it, go to the other party. If the other party is willing to produce it, you can have it. If the other party is not willing to produce it and has other things to deal with, then just go with it. It's bad luck for you.
But again, I generally know what I can find, and I can basically get it.
A large part of the reason why Xun Shuang and Chen Jineng continued to cling to life was because of the injection. The two of them had their own channels to obtain favors from Zhang Ji, but even after the injection, they were still unable to use their spiritual talents.
The meaning of their current existence is more to stay alive and prevent the family from falling apart. Anyway, all the major families are well aware of the situation of the Xun family. As long as Xun Shuang dies, the Xun family will collapse into three or four pieces overnight, and the Chen family will not be much better. Once people like Chen Ji and Chen Shang die, Chen Xi The relationship with the Chen family has been completely broken. Even though Chen Xi and Chen Qun could sit down and chat together when they met, the gap between the two was actually not small, but it was just not visible on the table. Once old people like Chen Ji left, Yingchuan and Chen would definitely be divided. Because they are two, they both work hard to live, and try their best to live until the next generation is not so young and energetic, and can sit down and talk, and then die.
Sometimes things like lifespan are not very important, and sometimes they are very important.
Masinde has entered his seventies, and it is not surprising that he will die anytime. It is precisely because of this that he can do what he wants to do so freely.
Chen Xi did not realize this, but Chen Xi valued this person's ability. For such personnel who are truly beneficial to national construction, Chen Xi would extend their useful life as much as possible.
Of course, the most important thing is that the output of this kind of life-extending injection is very low. Occasionally there is excess, and if you don’t use it quickly, it will be a problem if people find out and a group of people come to ask for it.
After all, either no one knows about this kind of inventory, or everyone at a certain level knows it, so it must be eliminated quickly to avoid being blocked.
In Chen Xi's opinion, Masinde is a very reliable person who is very needed for national construction. Now that he happens to have it on hand, it is better to use it quickly. Chen Xi does not think that this kind of news can be kept for too long.
Masinde didn't know that Chen Xi had a high opinion of him because of his previous answers, and even arranged for a life-extending injection. He just felt that communicating with Chen Xi was quite happy. There were many things that he had not even considered, but when After Chen Xi proposed the direction, Masinde couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Therefore, when Chen Xi said that he was not good at practical operations, Masinde sighed, is it the practical operations that are difficult at their level? In fact, it is not the case. More often, what is difficult is the idea and the direction. When it comes to practical matters, if your plan and ideas are correct, someone will naturally implement it.
At this level, who still expects you to do the work personally? Everyone is counting on you to be the guide, beacon, and helmsman!
"Is this the way of thinking?" Masinde listened to Chen Xi's political philosophy and foundation and patted his own thigh repeatedly in admiration.
"Yes, talent is the greatest resource." Chen Xi nodded and said, "The most obvious trend after a place develops is the positive inflow of population, and many policies must be supported by a sufficient population.
Masinde nodded repeatedly. He knew this, but he had only noticed this when he was in Kushan. But on the one hand, there was no way to solve it. On the other hand, even if a sufficient population size was gathered, it could not be used effectively. come out.
However, after Chen Xi's advice, Masinde realized that in order to effectively utilize this advantage, there must be sufficient supporting facilities, and the construction of supporting facilities requires enough labor, and the deployment of a sufficient scale of labor requires Abundant agricultural output.
After Masinde understood this, he instantly understood why the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River and the wide gallop across the mountains in the southwest were prepared.
Kushan must die, because the Ganges River Basin can almost be considered the foundation of the Han Dynasty's transformation. Only with such a huge production base can more Han Dynasty people get out of agriculture and enter other industries.
This kind of thing may be difficult for other people to think of, but for the wise people who were born in Beigui, it is obvious. When the Yueshi went south to enter India, their military strength was less than 100,000, and the population was about 100,000. Thousands, why in just a hundred years, the population reached six million, and the available troops were close to one million.
To put it bluntly, isn't it just because of the agreement with Nangui that most people can be liberated from the heavy agriculture and animal husbandry and undergo military service training, so that the strength of the Da Yuezhi gradually surpasses that of Nangui, instead of being like When I first came in, I had to compromise.
It is precisely because of this improvement in strength that in the previous generation, the Dayue clan had an amazing record of fighting all the way to Huashi City. Otherwise, with the less than 100,000 soldiers and horses back then, Nangui's people would be overwhelmed. Dayuezhi's men and horses drowned.
Although Masinde didn't understand what Chen Xi wanted to do, Chen Xi's position was to get more people out of the heavy agricultural and animal husbandry work and create more unemployed people. Then Masinde naturally understood the importance of the Ganges River Basin. The importance of the Han Dynasty. Chen Xi also saw that Masinde actually realized the logic of the improvement of the unemployed population and the accumulation of wealth in society, so he believed that Masinde was definitely worthy of an injection.
Although the two stand on completely different perspectives, Masinde simply plunders external sources to accumulate wealth and strengthen himself, while Chen Xi is more realistic in increasing the post-employment population, popularizing education, accumulating technology, and trying to advance the industrialization route. .
But at least at the beginning, even from two angles, the two people's thinking was highly similar. Both of them were to seize the Ganges River and rely on high-yielding crops to invest more of the population originally invested in agricultural farming into other more effective fields. industry.
Although Masinde wanted to continue to expand the army and then repeat the route
How to put this line? Neither the Han Dynasty nor Rome could enter industrialization through external exploitation, because the scale of exploitation required by external exploitation was too large, and there were not so many people in the world who could exploit them.
Just like China cannot enter developed countries through the economic colonization of the world like Europe and the United States, because the world's population and resources are all concentrated, and they cannot support a developed country of this scale.
The size of the Han Dynasty and Rome really needs to follow the British way of industrialization, based on colonial expansion providing a large amount of wealth, enclosing the land internally, leading to the exile of a large number of people, and providing cheap labor required for mass production. If carried out.
The latter is actually not a big problem. Both the Han Dynasty and Rome can find ways to obtain a large amount of cheap labor. However, the real problem lies in a large amount of wealth.
How to describe this huge amount of wealth? Take Britain as an example. From the time it killed the Spanish Armada in 1588, became a true maritime hegemon, and gradually established a hegemony on which the sun never sets, it took a full two hundred years to barely save enough for the start of industrialization. Capital.
At that time, Britain was just a country with a population of less than six million. It had exploited the world for two hundred years by saving up enough tickets for industrialization. It had caused countless tragedies around the world to collect enough trial and error costs. Is it difficult to use a steam engine? In fact, Hero gave the direction in Roman times.
Of course, some people say that the direction is useless. When China was in the Qin Dynasty, it was
After setting out the technical direction of gas turbines, it took two thousand years to come up with the finished product.
Mentioning this is more about saying that if you have enough money, sufficient human resources, and crazy spending, humans could actually come up with this thing two thousand years ago.
However, history tells us that it was already in the seventeenth century when there was enough money and human resources. Britain harvested the world crazily for two hundred years before it accumulated enough pre-requisite resources. Yes, before the first industrialization When it comes, it will be very difficult to industrialize, even hopelessly difficult.
After the first industrialization appeared, with the independent diffusion of industry, the difficulty was suddenly reduced. All the technical costs and all the trial and error costs have been paid, and you only need to continue to move forward along the original technical direction. Just go.
However, the situation that the Han Dynasty is facing now is the situation that Britain faced before the 18th century. If they want to industrialize, they must save money and have a unemployed population.
Let’s not talk about money. Unlike the situation faced by Britain, the whole world has been exploited by the Han Dynasty for two hundred years, and there is not enough capital for trial and error.
Therefore, realistically, we can only take the second option, either to directly save 20% of the unemployed population and force industrialization, or to increase the unemployed population while promoting education, and wait for education to complement technology, forming a cycle, relying on It will take time to accumulate enough technology to enter overall industrialization.
But no matter which one, the agricultural output of the Ganges River Basin is an extremely important foundation. Without this, the upper limit of the unemployed population is already in sight.
When there is no way to industrialize, you can only use various primary agricultural machinery. The upper limit of agricultural product output is the upper limit of soil fertility, and the soil fertility of Han Dynasty is so high. One crop per year, the upper limit of unit area is locked, Chen Xi To reach the extreme is to do a dojo inside a snail shell, which is meaningless.
On the contrary, the third crop in the Ganges River Basin has greatly increased the upper limit of output, giving Chen Xi the possibility to further increase the limit. This is why Chen Xi went to the Ganges River for research before.
After all, relying solely on the agricultural output of the Han Dynasty to accumulate wealth and industrialize it was too slow, even if it was in the right direction.
In the entire Central Plains, if we want to take the lead in industrialization, I am afraid that it is only possible during the Ming Dynasty. But at that time, it was not so much the Ming Dynasty as the Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, and British. Half of the wealth that exploited the world flowed into the Ming Dynasty. .
It can be said that if that kind of inflow can continue for another two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty may have entered industrialization a little later than the United Kingdom. However, a first-mover country with 200 million people industrializing is better than a first-mover country with only 6 million people industrializing. The country is much more frightening.
The question is how outrageous is the above precondition? The Ming Dynasty almost continuously consumed more than 50% of the world's silver output, but it failed to save enough start-up capital for industrialization after two hundred years. To be honest, this money was given to Europe, which was enough for Europe's collective industrialization. Such things as volume There are indeed benefits, but they are too big and the resources required for change are outrageous.
According to the British, the wealth accumulated by exploiting the world for two hundred years was barely enough to start industrialization. The size of the Ming Dynasty required exploiting the world for five hundred years and eating more than half of the world's output every year before it was enough to gain entry to industrialization.
But the population of the Ming Dynasty only accounted for one-fifth of the world's population, and the Han Dynasty now accounts for almost one-third of the world's population. Chen Xi has completely given up on the idea of exploiting the world to support the Han Dynasty to enter industrialization. According to the current situation, To follow the old British path, it would take at least ten Romes to be exploited by the Han Dynasty for a hundred or two hundred years. This is nonsense, so we can only take the second path.
Otherwise, it would be like building a steam engine now, but it has a very narrow use and is a replaceable product with no significance for promotion.
It is true that Chen Xi is here and can realize the value of this thing, but if there is no way to turn it into a necessity and let others use it, it is just Chen Xi's toy. When Chen Xi leaves, it will be just a piece of equipment shelved on the shelf. That’s all.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi does not forcefully promote certain technologies. The large-scale agriculture of the US empire is very good, but how many places can China use it? Do you not know what is good or bad?
