Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Why does it feel similar to the last sacrificial oration?" Chen Xi looked at the sacrificial oration that Li You brought over with a little puzzlement.

After the military parade, Liu Bei planned to take hundreds of thousands of soldiers to worship the soldiers who have fought for the country for so many years.

"Because it's not finished. The old have something to depend on, the young have to be taught, the tiller has his land, and the home has his house. These things seem simple, but in fact, it's not so easy to pursue them." Li You said casually. Said, "And it's a nice slogan."

"Besides, you already have some kind of malice towards human morality, so it is more appropriate for the superior to announce it to everyone as a law and pass it down as a system." Li You said silently, "Your original words are , any way of infinitely improving moral quality will only lead to moral corruption, after all, there are no saints or perfect people in this world, and the law is the ultimate guarantee."

"Hey, hey, let me be clear. I don't have any malice towards human morality. I just don't want to face the downline of human morality and self-discipline. What's the point of talking about morality when things that can be legally restrained." Chen Xi said with a sneer.

"So, you guys are always harboring malice towards human morality." Li You flipped through the sacrificial text he had written casually. This is already a version after someone had polished it up. .

As for Sun Ce and others, they originally wanted to run away, but after knowing the situation, they did not leave directly. They planned to leave after Liu Bei sacrificed to the dead. After so many years of fighting, their men also lost a lot of soldiers.

If Liu Bei didn't mention it, they might not have any special feelings, but after Liu Bei mentioned it, Sun Ce, Xiahou Dun and others also had the idea of ​​burning incense for the dead.

"That's why I can get along with you, because you also have malice towards morality, but you are more radical, and I am not." Chen Xi picked up the sacrificial text and said slowly, "At least it used to be like this .”

Li Jiayou nodded, Chen Xi and him have the same idea in that they both have the idea of ​​overthrowing the current system, and they all had such power in the past or now.

As for the difference, Li You was cheated in the past. In addition, Li You chose to directly overthrow the system after confirming that the system was wrong, instead of thinking about the results after the system collapsed. He believed that when the system collapsed, , A new system will definitely be born, which will be better than this one. Of course, if it is worse, then let me smash this system again.

In Chen Xi's words, he is actually dissatisfied with the current system and the previous system, but Chen Xi has no idea of ​​violently dismantling the system, and his thinking mode belongs to the orderly sequence.

That is to say, if there is a problem with this system, then before there is no better system, do not destroy this system, first repair it, let this system gradually develop towards the desired state, and rely on a longer period of time. Continuously improve, and finally obtain the desired system.

Therefore, Li You sometimes thinks that Chen Xi is a bit conservative, obeys the rules, and upholds the rules. More importantly, both Li You and Chen Xi know that the latter's way of thinking is absolutely impossible to get what he wants.

This is because Chen Xi himself is very capable. If he is weak, let alone continue to improve until the required system is reached. I am afraid that Chen Xi himself will die because of too many benefits due to mobilization on the way.

"So sacrificing to heaven is a very important thing, at least let all soldiers understand the meaning of their sacrifice." Chen Xi half leaned on the chair and said.

After three days of rest, on the west side of Yecheng, on the altar that had already been built, Liu Bei made the promise as before. The gap between some things being done and doing well is too far. Liu Bei's current level can be regarded as It was done, but it was very difficult to do well.

Behind the altar, the phalanx of the 400,000 troops was as straight as an axe and a machete. Compared with the cumbersome etiquette of Liu Bei and others, there was only one requirement for these soldiers, to take off their hats and pay a silent tribute to the comrades who died in these years.

Those present are all soldiers who have experienced fighting, been on the battlefield, and seen blood. Naturally, some of their comrades have died because of this.

Perhaps, at the end of the Han Dynasty, this kind of parting between life and death was too common. At home, death may be a straw mat, hastily buried, and family members cry for a period of time, which is incomparably insignificant to the world.

However, under Liu Bei's command, they suddenly found that their deaths had meaning. Hundreds of thousands of comrades in arms would mourn for them after their death.

Only in this environment can these soldiers who don't know why they fought or died realize that their own death can actually be meaningful, and that they can also be heroes, which is very important.

Knowing this, soldiers will understand the responsibilities and honors they shoulder when they pick up their armor, live like a hero, and die like a hero.

"Fortunately, Duke Xuande didn't make a wish casually this time." Chen Xi lay panting on the table. When offering sacrifices to the heavens, his demeanor and appearance should be very solemn, so he couldn't move around. After all this tossing, he was really tired. I don't feel it during the sacrifice, but I will find that I am tired enough when I come down.

"Because the lord already knows that every word he utters and every promise he responds means responsibility. Now we have 26 million people under our command, and every promise represents the credibility of the government." Lu Su was also exhausted, but his speaking momentum was much stronger than Chen Xi's.

"Anyway, it's great that I didn't make a wish." Chen Xi buried his head in the wide sleeve of his silk robe, and said in a somewhat unclear voice.

"I seemed to see the two tripods of heaven and man glowing with the beginning of the ceremony." Guo Jia collapsed in the armchair and said with his head sideways.

"I saw it too." Fazheng and the others agreed.

"It's a pity that there is no such a big reaction as last time." Jia Xu shook his sleeves, took a sip of tea and said, "Zichuan, I think Yizhou Mu has some thoughts about you, don't you want to express it?"

"What does it mean to have thoughts about me? Obviously, it means having thoughts about the logistics in my hands." Chen Xi said without raising his head while lying in his wide sleeves.

"Anyway, you have to figure out how to deal with it." Li You also said while drinking tea.

"Give him five thousand chain mail and plate armor, and you don't need to give him weapons." Chen Xi said indifferently, "Just find someone to solve this problem."

"Gift?" Liu Ye asked unhappily.

"Naturally, I'm the chief minister, and I'm in charge of the country's finances. By the way, I also merged the Shaofu and other things, so I'm also the general logistics." Chen Xi sat up silently and said, "Anyway, I It is produced according to one million sets, don't be afraid."

"I always feel that it will form the habit of them coming to our side to fight the autumn wind." Liu Ye said rather annoyed, completely ignoring it, speaking of blood relationship, Liu Zhang and him are very close.

"When we are unified, everyone will come to play the autumn breeze." Chen Xi said, leaning on the chair, "After all, we are all our own people."

"By the way, some time ago, I looked up the output of Luzhong Iron Works, which is much higher than what you reported." Lu Su fumbled in the official documents on the side, and took out one, "You said before that it was Nissan. Five or six thousand catties, the number reported from below far exceeds this figure."

"I was talking about how much steel is produced in Japan to make weapons." Chen Xi glanced at the official document, then turned his head and said, "Most of the steel produced is ordinary iron, and I used it to produce farm tools and other things. .”

What the hell is a weapon? In the case of farming for all the people in the Han Dynasty, as many people needed as many sickles, as well as kitchen knives, plows, rakes and other living utensils.

The steel used for weapons is only a small part of the Luzhong Iron Works. Last year, it manufactured 7 million sickles, and this year will continue to make so many. In another five years, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of sickles in the Central Plains, but the sickles will have to be replaced by then. new.

The iron needed for 7 million sickles can equip 300,000 soldiers, and daily necessities are the biggest pitfall, but this money trap is very powerful, and it is just needed by the agricultural society.

"You made seven million sickles? There are also plows for two million people." Liu Ye, Lu Su and others supported their foreheads, and they couldn't talk to Chen Xi anymore. So much iron was wasted by you. It is not as good as special steel, but it is still iron after all, and it is also a good weapon after warming up.

Both of them thought that the Luzhong Iron Works run by Chen Xi was mainly producing weapons, but now you tell me that you are actually mainly producing farm tools, and weapons are a sideline!

"Yes, I also produced a lot of kitchen knives, a lot of scissors, a lot of screwdrivers, oh, and iron pots, these things are very easy to sell." Chen Xi didn't care about Liu Ye and Lu Su's murderous eyes, Weapons or something, but not making money, sideline, sideline.

"Don't you know how many armors can be produced by using these things as weapons? You are a complete waste!" Liu Ye said frantically, he suddenly found that Chen Xi's brain circuit was very different from theirs.

"Even the iron you use to make kitchen knives is pretty good iron. Using this iron to make weapons, we can now arm two million people and unify the world with ease." Lu Su said with a headache.

"It's as if we can't do the same now." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "Your thinking mode is still conquering the world. My thinking mode is ruling the world. You don't call it becoming stronger, but you call it militarism!"

"In short, I plan to produce another seven million sickles, three million plows, one million iron pots, and various agricultural tools this year." Chen Xi said indifferently, "You also have to change your thinking mode quickly, our current core It should be changed to governing the world, instead of investing important resources in the military as before."
