Masinde and Rangarajan did not answer. It was obvious that they also had speculations. Since the spiritual relics captured by Zhou Yu contained the period of Sailian's time, it is not unreasonable that the spiritual relics that were so accidentally lost before contained other things. possible.
"Forget it, I won't go into details." Chen Xi nodded to Masinde and the others, and said nothing more about releasing Selian.
Masinde also nodded, and the two of them walked towards the Weiyang Palace tacitly, and Liu Tong was already sitting in the palace with a majestic look, waiting for several people to come.
As early as yesterday, Zhuge Liang had informed Liu Tong of the relevant matters, and the good thing about Liu Tong was that he knew the priorities and would not mess around.
Therefore, I dressed up and washed myself early and got ready, putting on my most majestic side, with the indifference of an emperor inspecting the fields.
"I have met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess." Chen Xi bowed and saluted Liu Tong, who was wearing a curly robe and a red and black cloak. Okay, the other party will give him face today, and I will give him face. The face of salted fish and fish monsters. It’s all given to each other.
Compared with Chen Xi and Liu Tong, who pretended to be dignified and perfunctory, Masinde and Rangarajan were much more serious. Rangarajan had also met Liu Tong four times, but never before did Liu Tong look so majestic as now. , as if the princess she had seen before was just a substitute.
As for Masinde, it is even more exaggerated. His eyes are enough to see through human qualifications. When he looks at Liu Tong with his peripheral vision, the brilliance of wisdom seems to be constantly falling from Liu Tong's head. What an exaggerated sight.
The moment he saw this scene, Ma Xinde couldn't help but look at Chen Xi again, with that overflowing wisdom, and then looked at Liu Tong, with the radiance of wisdom that was constantly falling from the top of his head. Why are there two such people in the world? figure.
At that moment, Masinde realized that I was really an ignorant old man, and I still had to learn from this God-given wisdom. It was really shocking.
Liu Tong's indifferent eyes glanced at Chen Xi, and there was no communication, but Chen Xi understood what Liu Tong meant. I did a good job. Chen Xi narrowed his eyes slightly to express satisfaction.
As for the wisdom that is constantly escaping from the top of Liu Tong's head, it is actually not Liu Tong's, but Chen Xi's. If you pull Chen Xi in the silk-stringing drama, there will be a phenomenon of wisdom pouring in. After all, using the silk-pulling drama in reverse is actually a big mistake. The boss controls Liu Tong, so Liu Tong will become an extension of the boss.
Chen Xi's biggest characteristic, besides laziness, is the wisdom accumulated by countless people over the past thousand years. Therefore, after these two were respectively embodied in Liu Tong, this is the current situation.
"Foreign Ministers Masinde and Langarajan have met Her Royal Highness Princess Han." Although Masinde and Langarajan did not communicate, they still chose the status of foreign ministers when using etiquette.
"Give me a seat." Liu Tong said in a clear voice to the guard on the side.
Chen Xi sat down casually, while Masinde and Rangarajan sat upright, and Liu Tong habitually placed tea and cakes on the table.
"The Government Affairs Department has informed me of their identities. I wonder if you two are willing to assist me." Zhuge Liang and Liu Tong had already communicated with each other and knew their identities and attitudes, so they didn't say anything. Join the Han Dynasty, but choose to be recruited privately by Liu Tong.
Liu Tong was also direct. This is just a situation. If you are willing to accept it, it is best. If you are not willing to accept it, then pull it down. Anyway, Chen Zichuan is still here. At most, it is a question of the size of the loss.
"Your Highness, please take me in." Rangarajan could see at a glance that Liu Tongte's private solicitation was just a step up. Even if there is no such sentence yet, "Those who know the king should regard the world as the common good and be selfless to things", but At the very least, everyone knows that there is a saying that the emperor is selfless.
There is basically no difference between loyalty to the Han Dynasty and loyalty to the emperor. Although Liu Tong is a princess, she is actually the emperor in the eyes of Rangarajan.
Especially after Masinde informed Rangarajan of the essence of what he saw, Rangarajan became even more cautious. How could he underestimate the other person's intelligence?
"The matter in Zangzhou on my side has not been settled yet, and it will take some time." Masinde thought for a while and said. They would not have let go so easily and switched to Liu Tong, but again, the special effect is What can scare people, especially this kind of God-given wisdom, the smarter the person, the more they understand how terrifying it is.
"Zangzhou, what exactly do Ward think?" Although Liu Tong didn't understand military strategy, he couldn't stand it. There were two immortals in Weiyang Palace who were proficient in military strategy. They would analyze strategies and tactics from time to time. Even if Liu Tong didn't What interests you, but after listening a lot, I can tell you a few things, at least it doesn’t sound like there are any omissions.
"Fuwode is a noble of the Yuezhi. Although he is not one of the five royal families, he is still a big noble." Masinde explained simply, "And he was deeply valued by Vesutiva I. He has always been in charge of the north. important minister."
"Compared to Barak?" Liu Tong said without a bottom line.
"It's almost the same, but after what happened with Barak, the Original Purpose Party has been severely weakened in Kushan. There are not many Original Purpose Parties under Fulward." Masinde didn't care about Liu Tong's suggestion. , The soldiers are deceitful, as long as they can win.
Liu Tong nodded and did not say anything about sending troops to attack. It is better not to make it difficult for Ma Xinde to do such emotionally hurtful things. What they want is Ma Xinde's ability. Fulward now occupies a part of Zangzhou. In fact, nothing big can happen.
The reason for the previous search was more that the opponent might break through the defense zone and break into the essence of the Han Dynasty. Even if they couldn't win, it would still be enough to shock the world, so they were strictly guarded. But now that there is a Masinde inside, so stay safe. A state of peace and quiet has only advantages and no disadvantages for the Han Dynasty.
After all, it must be said that the Han Dynasty actually has no intention of actively solving the current situation in Tibetan areas. After all, the construction of Tibetan areas is also a huge investment for the Han Dynasty. Now this kind of situation allows Zhang Xiong and the Qiang people to slow down the involution and develop on their own. This method is conducive to the later reception of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Liu Tong did not say anything that would embarrass Masinde.
"In this case, Zangzhou will maintain its current status for the time being. How about it, Marquis Chen?" Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi and asked, if Zangzhou maintains normality, the garrisons in Yanbian in Tibetan areas and other prefectures and counties must continue to be maintained. This is a considerable manpower consumption.
"Yes, the most difficult time was when we first went to station troops at the border between southwest and northwest prefectures and Tibetan areas two years ago. Now that the logistical support measures have been taken, it is not that difficult." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "In Under the current rotation system, it can be maintained by natural military service, so the consumption of materials and food is acceptable."
When I went to garrison in those places earlier, because they were all on the border with Tibetan areas, I had nothing to offer. Even logistics support required long road transportation to reach them.
But it’s not like Chen Xi has done nothing in the past two years. Of course, he will gradually improve these things. Now those places have been built by Chen Xi into semi-permanent or even permanent military camps, and the roads for transporting grain, grass and other logistical materials in the rear are also Got through.
By now, the locations where troops are required to be stationed have basically become standard military service training camps. As a result, the cost and material consumption have been reduced to the level close to the training near the county governor's house.
In fact, this is the benefit of relying on the local area. Even if it takes some effort to build, at least it can be reused in the future. But if it is not local, it will be difficult to do this.
"That's it, then just continue to maintain the previous situation." Liu Tong nodded and said, "Don't drive your horse, we don't need a quick victory, we just need to solve the problem."
"Actually, it's not necessary. The plan I left behind is enough for Fulward to concentrate on development." Masinde shook his head and said, "Fourward has realized that he cannot achieve his goals with his few people. Now he is We are using the development outline I left behind to pursue development."
"Well, in this case, if Xiangxiong grows stronger, the Qiang people will be in trouble." Liu Tong said with a frown.
"I am also helping the Qiang people to develop. The Qiang people will only have the advantage in terms of efficiency on both sides." Masinde said flatly, "This method can effectively build up Zangzhou. The Shangshung Dynasty has made a detailed inventory of it through me. According to statistics, the current population is 540,000.”
"It's a strategy to tire Qin." Chen Xi said with a smile.
When the Korean hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo entered the Qin Dynasty, the purpose was to consume a lot of Qin's national power to build the Zheng Guo Canal, so as to give the six Shandong countries a breathing space. This plan successfully delayed the Qin State for several years, but when the Zheng Guo Canal was repaired, the Qin State had more With 40,000 hectares of fertile land free from drought and flood risk, the six countries of Shandong were directly defeated by the Qin State, which solved the logistical problems.
It is obvious that Masinde implemented a reverse strategy for Fulward to weaken the Qin Dynasty, and asked Fulward to vigorously develop. Unfortunately, Fulward was not surrounded by the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, but the Han Dynasty. After the construction was completed, he could only give Being used as a wedding dress by others is an extremely sufficient reason for the present.
"Will Fulward really not find out?" Liu Tong asked with a frown.
"It will definitely be discovered. To be honest, it is only a matter of time, but the time is not in Fulward." Masinde sighed and said, "And Furward has many historical problems, but they have not exploded yet."
Chen Xi nodded. In fact, he knew better than Masinde. The way Aldashir captured Beigui in the official history was enough to explain many problems. Many conflicts have always existed, but they just did not break out.
"I want to ask a question." Liu Tong suddenly said, "Is there a direct way from Zangzhou to Kushan? Theoretically, the two sides are next to each other."
Rangarajan looked at Liu Tong with emotion. Although the road was wild, his thinking was correct, because if Zangzhou could reach Guishang directly, there would be a sure-fire route.
"Actually, it used to be possible, but in recent years it has stopped. The snow line in the north has been declining, and it has dropped to the point where it is not enough to pass." Rangarajan explained, "In the past, the sand gate in Nangui used to go over there to enter." The scriptures are preached here in Tibetan areas.”
"That means there is such a way." Chen Xi thought thoughtfully.
"You need to consider the plateau environment and the combined impact of the high cold and strong winds on the plateau. The road is currently completely covered with ice and snow and is impassable." Masinde was much more powerful than Rangarajan. He went to find the road specifically. The road is guaranteed to be difficult for Ward to pass.
"Actually, the most likely possibility at the moment is that Fulward found that way and then relied on the tyrannical strength of the internal energy to fly over." Masinde said helplessly.
There was no army ambush or cloud cover on that road. It was simply the lack of oxygen on the plateau, biting cold wind, etc., but these problems actually had no impact on Fulward.
"Even if he goes down, he can't solve the problem of soldiers. At most, he can strengthen the connection with Vesutiva I." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Besides, I don't think you have left any backup plans. I'm afraid Fulward has already He must be alone."
"It's better not to mention him, he is different from us." Masinde waved his hand and said.
Chen Xi smiled and understood Masinde's mentality more and more. Masinde had a somewhat evasive attitude in it, but it was nothing. This was normal.
"Your Highness." Chen Xi saluted Liu Tong, who nodded to Xin Xianying, and then handed over a thick pile of information, which included the construction of rural workshops and the increase in the unemployed population in the second five-year plan. The design part of junior agricultural machinery is divided between Masinde and Rangarajan. There are some things that must be understood by understanding the background and the overall layout.
"Is there any problem with this data?" Masinde looked at the target data of 70,000 tons with a very solemn expression. He knew the concept of tons.
"This data is already the current data." Chen Xi took a look and replied.
Masinde took a breath of cold air. As he said before, before the end of World War II, steel production was the guarantee of the core combat effectiveness of an industrial country. The same was true in the feudal era. Steel production actually guaranteed the basic combat effectiveness of a country.
"It seems like a lot. In fact, the average weight per person, even if we only count the core population, is less than three kilograms a year." Chen Xi curled his lips and said.
Three kilograms of steel are enough for what, especially producing armaments for the military, laying steel bars for the road transportation industry, and replacing vehicle frames for the logistics and transportation industry. On average, one kilogram of iron per person per year in the core population is not enough, Chen Xi What can he do? Chen Xi is helpless.
"It's already a lot." Rangarajan said concisely. Many of his previous questions were answered after seeing this detailed and meticulous plan.
"It's not enough, we still need development. That's why I came to you. Coal and iron also need more manpower to invest, but now there are not enough manpower, and we need to further improve the productivity rate." Chen Xi said sincerely, " The war on the front has already affected the rear to a certain extent."
It's the beginning of the month. Please vote for me. The author is almost gone. It's so cold and desperate.
