Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Congling, which is the Kazakh of later generations, has a pretty good climate and soil, and it is definitely not a problem to feed millions of people under the condition of half farming and half pasture.

Naturally, if this place is used as a bridgehead, there is only one thing to do, and that is to build a huge base that can support a war from nothing, just like what Chen Xi did in Mount Tai back then.

Similarly, this place is very similar to the original Mount Tai. It seems to have nothing, but it has a solid foundation to support the future. Back then, there was nothing in Mount Tai, but it had manpower that was more important than others.

Congling now has nothing here, but it has enough land to attract human resources. Except for a few millions of hectares, these lands belong to high-quality arable land that can be developed, and the other nearly one million square kilometers can be counted as pastures.

If the mineral resources here are included, the conditions here are actually better than Zhuge Liang expected. To put it bluntly, this place also belongs to the land of Wang Xing, but it is too vast and sparsely populated, and it belongs to the desert of technology. .

Even the surveyors brought by the Chen family, the Xun family, and the Sima family spent about half a year with the tools in their hands to roughly run through the places that are easy to explore under the rule, and have found several mines that can be easily and directly mined.

Especially the ore deposits near the north are basically high-quality iron ore. Simply put, they can be dug out and thrown into the furnace to make steel. However, the herdsmen in this place have such iron ore at all. Can smelt iron.

Of course, in addition to iron ore, gold mines and copper mines have also been discovered. The mines that can be discovered by this simple method of detection are all extremely obvious and extremely large open-pit mines. It is obvious that people have lived here. The Hu people for hundreds of years didn't know what kind of treasures lay under their feet, so Zhuge Liang silently included these people.

After all, Congling is seriously short of population. Even if he knew that there would be great hidden dangers in doing so, Zhuge Liang could only deal with it in this way first. Fortunately, the barbarians here have no fighting power. Relying on force, Li Jue and others quickly Subdue all these guys.

"Build a steel factory?" Sima Yi looked at the proposal Zhuge Liang handed him, and now he has guessed the meaning of this place. If those guys in the west and south are regarded as enemies, then the location of Congling is not only The bridgehead should also be the main base of the Central Plains.

Up to now, Sima Yi basically understands that after the roads in the Central Plains are built to Congling, it is impossible for the country itself to build further west or north. This is partly a matter of cost, and partly because of value. If so, it is very likely to enter the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, the construction of infrastructure in that kind of place will be destroyed by people, and the amount of money invested is not enough to spoil it. According to Sima Yi's estimation, with Chen Xi's concept, before this place is stable, nine out of ten will be turned back. Domestically, the passages between various regions will be built.

After all, the Central Plains is in the rear. On the one hand, Congling's main base is in hand. As long as it is not lost here, no one can invade the Central Plains. On the other hand, it will develop the Central Plains and consolidate the existing advantages of the Central Plains. has great significance.

Although Sima Yi doesn't believe that Chen Xi doesn't know, under his arrangement, sooner or later a unified conflict like Spring and Autumn and Warring States will break out between the Central Plains and the outer enfeoffment barriers. Although the cause of the war will be different at that time, it is almost inevitable that this kind of thing will happen .

Even if Chen Xi is now working hard to consolidate the foundation of the Central Plains, even if the Central Plains will be connected together by then, even if the starting point of the Central Plains will be much higher than all the fiefdoms, but how to say, Sima Yi can think of the end even if he thinks about it with his feet. In the current situation, the unification of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods is irreversible.

This is not something that Chen Xi's left behind can suppress. In this process, Chen Xi will at most postpone it and cannot obliterate it. This is almost a historical inevitability. An immortal dynasty, even if the founding monarch shouted for eternity One series, in fact, has no meaning.

Because this is a historical inevitability, all the founding emperors knew that the dynasty they established would collapse one day, and their repair process was only delaying the coming of this day.

The same is true of what Chen Xi did. His solid foundation could not withstand the spoils of his children and grandchildren. What's more, Sima Yi could feel Chen Xi's contradiction. To find a balance in the contradiction, Chen Xi might be okay, but if he died, Sima Yi had no hope.

Naturally, Congling here, the bridgehead to the Central Plains, will actually be the main base for the aristocratic families ahead, and all the resources they need can only be obtained from here.

Maybe in the future when they grow stronger, they may not need to get it from here, but at the beginning, they couldn't get around this place. Whoever sits here will be the next prime minister.

Similarly, every industry planned now will affect the future direction. In simple terms, those who choose what industry to go abroad will rely on what they have here to change their plans.

Because even if there must be a national road leading to Congling at that time, the materials transported by this road alone will definitely not be enough, so in the end the only thing you can really rely on is the main base of Congling. What does the main base produce and what do you use? , there is no choice.

At least the first three years must be like this, and these three years are very important for any family that has just gone abroad, and every resource at that time is extremely important.

"You choose smelting." Sima Yi said after a while of silence. He originally thought that Zhuge Liang would choose the same route as him to corrupt the opponent in advance, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Liang's positioning of this place would conflict with him from the very beginning.

"Well, the steel mill is the most important thing. We don't have much time, the family doesn't have much time, and we don't have enough manpower. Naturally, we can only concentrate resources on one of them." Zhuge Liang stopped writing and looked at Sima Yi. Clearly, one's choice will affect all subsequent families.

"I think we should take the route of corrupting each other. Our own family is suitable for this. At this time, we should pretend to be a trade transfer station, make this place prosperous, and then infiltrate outwards. After the infiltration, use force. This is a stable " Sima Yi said slowly, the order Zhuge Liang gave was completely beyond his imagination.

"The aristocratic family is indeed suitable, but what do we want?" Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi and asked calmly, "What's more, if there are too many conspiracies, it will make people lose courage. We are here to expand the territory, aren't we? to reap wealth."

"What do you think of Gongtai?" Sima Yi turned his head to look at Chen Gong, and Chen Gong's eyelids involuntarily slid down when he heard the words. With his wisdom, he naturally knew that this matter has involved the future direction of all the families. It can be said that the choice between Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang now , directly affect all future families.

"Corruption and war?" Chen Gong also had some headaches, "Didn't the country give you any hints? Kong Ming?"

"No, no one told me what to do. Chen Hou and Li Shi both told me that I am here, and I can decide anything by myself. Even if it is a war with another empire, I can start it as long as I nod." Zhuge Liang looked calm. said.

The corners of Chen Gong's mouth twitched, and he felt again that Chen Xi and Li You had great intentions. It should be said that these two guys are indeed the top wise men in the world.

Not to mention anything else, this attitude alone is far beyond normal people, such a grand arrangement is on Zhuge Liang, Chen Gong is inexplicably curious, aren't those two guys afraid of accidents?

You know, after the war against Rome and the situation in the west, as long as the brains are still online, the resourceful people will know how important the location of Congling is. It can be said directly that the importance of this location is now the same as that of the Central Plains. The prime minister is a level.

As long as you do well in this position, not to mention unnecessary words, all the families in the world need to accept your favor. When the time comes to return to the country, the whole family in the world will carry you to open a mansion and build a government office to become the prime minister. It is so crazy. Now almost determines the direction of the next few decades or even a hundred years.

"Is that so?" Lu Meng stopped dealing with government affairs at this time, and sat upright looking at the people. To be honest, Lu Meng is actually very envious of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi now. The two opposites, no accident, will definitely be the prime minister in the future, and the other will definitely be the prime minister. San Gong.

At most, Zhuge Liang is more likely to become prime minister now than Sima Yi.

"Can you tell me your reason, Kong Ming." Chen Gong looked at Zhuge Liang after a while and said, Sima Yi's eyes sank, it was obvious that Chen Gong was biased towards Zhuge Liang.

"We are not the only main base. Those members of the Yuan family are very powerful. Although they are not strong enough now, they will take the lead step by step. In the future, they will definitely have the same strength as us to provide support for other families. If we If you choose a trade center, use corrupt means to control foreign nobles, and then counterattack, it will only come to nothing." Zhuge Liang said slowly.

Zhuge Liang's reason is very simple. Old Yuan's house is in the Ural Mountains. Although there is no road in that place, Zhuge Liang believes that Xun Chen and others are definitely burning cement crazily now, waiting for the time to come. As for the steel factory or something, I'm afraid They have also entered the preparation stage, and even exaggerated points may have entered the construction stage.

Now the old Yuan's family can't develop rapidly because of manpower and other issues, but there is still at least a year between now and the next stage.

Even if the old Yuan's family is short of human resources now, based on Zhuge Liang's understanding of Xun Chen, Xu You and others, even if those guys are restricted in all aspects, they are definitely accumulating their own background crazily. From their perspective, choose The place is definitely the land of Wang Xing with rich resources!
