Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

[Chen Zichuan, after all, it is Chen Zichuan. Even if you don’t use tricks and tricks, the ability to take ten steps in one step is really amazing, and this kind of meticulous thinking, even if you know it, there is no way to solve it. If he wins, he wins, and it's no wonder that everyone is willing to believe in his morals. 】Liu Ba looked at Chen Xi who was swaying forward obliquely, and was full of admiration.

"It's just that we have no way to complete the construction of such a specification." Zhou Yu said dumbfounded, "If it is really going to be built to the township, it may take more than a million kilometers."

"So I plan to open the cement and lime firing technology to the county guards in the future." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Only in this way can the roads be repaired to all villages. Construction is included in the evaluation of local officials."

"In this case, you can give it a try." Zhou Yu nodded, "If that's the case, what about civilian use, how to calculate the price, internal real price, external high price subsidy internal?"

"If it is going to be open to civilian use, the price, like other things, can be included in the scope of control. Now, many things don't need to be controlled. After all, after the reunification, there will be no prohibition." Chen Xi also once said After thinking about it, he will gradually let go of the purchase of kitchen utensils and farm tools, and no longer control the quantity of these as before.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem. It's just that I think it will take 20 or 30 years to achieve the one drawn on your map." Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

"Never mind him, anyway, I'm slowly doing it according to a century-old plan. Maybe I'll be lucky if I can finish it in 20 or 30 years." Chen Xi said nonchalantly. He was really not joking about this, and the road is not so easy to repair. of.

As the area under his control grows larger, Chen Xi has built more and more lime factories, but even now there is barely enough supply for his rule. Otherwise, after the Northern Xinjiang, Chen Xi would not have burned lime directly. The prescription was given to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao built a factory in Yongliang.

After all, the production capacity is not enough. Things like large lime factories also need to burn money, and the social infrastructure such as roads, without tolls, is quite difficult to pay back. That is to say, Chen Xi can barely Relying on the official high price to buy and sell lime cement and subsidize part of it, after all, it is an exclusive business, and it can still be covered.

In Chen Xi's opinion, the payback of this thing is really slow, but this thing is also a basic building material. If you don't want to return to the previous civil structure, then even Chen Xi has to build it. Besides, infrastructure construction stimulates domestic demand. It is better for the people under the rule to have work to do than to let them be idle.

Chen Xi also didn't want to let the people under his rule have enough food and clothing. As a result, this group of people had nothing to do because of the slack, so they came to move bricks during the slack. The salt is in place, but also full.

So every year when the farming is busy, Chen Xi sends people to investigate those simple, rough, brainless jobs that only require a lot of strength, and then waits for the time to let the people below start to inform the people that the government will build roads, dams, bridges, and reconstruction. Dangerous houses and so on.

But even if it is the most important work, there are only a few kinds of work, but it cannot stand the huge scale. The concrete consumed every year can barely be covered by Chen Xi's place, just like what the so-called Chinese people eat in later generations, and the price rises. Anything multiplied by 1.3 billion is a scale that will make people collapse, and although it is not as exaggerated as the later generations, the output is far from being comparable to the later generations.

If it weren't for the road cards, it would be too much to collect tolls. Chen Xi could barely cover it with other financial subsidies. Maybe there would be road cards, a toll method unique to feudal dynasties, on the roads.

Fortunately, Chen Xi is also a good hand at managing money at the moment. He should keep a good balance between commercial and official aspects. Don’t fix too much, let the output outweigh the input. Even if it is slower, at least it can be regarded as a bumpy journey, and the road has been repaired. What should be built is also built, and the income and expenditure can be considered balanced.

But in the future, we can’t do this anymore. The country is unified. In many places, not to mention the county roads, the national roads have not been built. If we continue to advance in the previous way, it will be too slow, and a country can’t even build roads. , then many aspects will be restricted.

It is also based on this point that Chen Xi gritted his teeth and distributed technology to the states, and then invested a part of the money at the national level, and a part of the money from the local government, and then raised a part of the money together with the local government to build the common materials needed for this kind of infrastructure. field.

If this thing is to be sold at Chen Xi's price, the speed at which it will be paid back is really disappointing. I hope that the states can provide some benevolent merchants to help take over the offer...

However, county-level factories do not need to invest too much at one time. As for the support of benevolent merchants, the current environment in the Han Dynasty is very good, and there are relatively many benevolent merchants.

Well, it’s not a question of benevolence, it’s mainly because in this era, businessmen are allowed to participate in public welfare undertakings. To be honest, the sincerity is not to exploit businessmen, but to give businessmen face.

Old Chen’s black materials, Lu Buwei’s black materials, let the businessman’s status and the difficulty of righteousness directly break through the sky. If the country is willing to let go of this aspect, there are many wealthy businessmen who are willing to cut their heads Mix inside.

After all, the vast majority of businessmen cannot belong to the wealthy family like the Zhen family with hereditary titles and official positions, nor can they be as lucky as the Mi family and have the opportunity to turn around the lintel.

Most of the merchants are more dependent on certain branches of the family, just like Chen Xi's father helped the Chen family handle business back then. At this time, they are ashamed to be with merchants. Most of the Central Plains families set up a branch to remotely rely on themselves Businessmen rarely step down in person.

Even though Chen Xi is now constantly adjusting various rules and regulations, the status of merchants is still not high. Most of the top 300 big merchants in the Central Plains rely on their aristocratic families to survive. less than.

Therefore, although Chen Xi said that he hoped that a benevolent businessman would help him at that time, in fact, if there is such an opportunity, most of the businessmen are willing to participate, even if it is very likely to turn a large sum of money into a long-term investment. Dead money is too much to be willing to jump into the pit.

After all, participating in this event is equivalent to opening a talisman by the government, and it can be regarded as a clear connection with the government. As long as you don’t die in the future, life will be much easier than before. The big businessmen of this era and the businessmen of later generations Mentally there is probably no difference.

After all, no one wants their hard-earned money to be so unreasonably handed over to others to provide so-called protection. If possible, in fact, everyone hopes that they can protect themselves.

"It's just like this, the first investment is a bit painful." Liu Ba frowned and said, paving the way for Chen Xi.

"Well, so the plan is to use technology and funds to allocate it, and then the local government will raise part of it." Chen Xi didn't say it very clearly, but there was no one with really low intelligence except Sun Ce, and everyone understood immediately. .

When Chen Xi spoke, all the civil servants who heard the words frowned. Some people wanted to ask, but they didn't ask in the end. In this kind of thing, not speaking means acquiescing.

"Okay, this one seems to be okay, pass." Chen Xi said with a smile, no one speaks the best, just passing it like this can be regarded as a talisman for those businessmen who abide by the rules.

"These roads connect all major states and counties in the country, and what will be involved next are distribution points and trading centers." Chen Xi nodded to Lu Su, and Lu Su nodded and continued to speak.

As soon as this remark came out, both Cao Cao and Sun Ce became interested. They have always wanted to do this thing. After all, the tax revenue of a county in Taishan directly overwhelmed the tax revenue of their state. What a frustrating thing this is.

However, after understanding the situation, they all stopped their actions. After all, whether it is the rules, the means of control, or the management model, Chen Xi is in the hands of some things. Imitation also requires a minimum capital.

And now Chen Xi wanted to open up again. Even if they were destined to leave the Central Plains, the traces of their circle of influence were obvious. Even if they left the Central Plains, the circle of influence would not collapse immediately.

After all, they are not dead yet, as long as they are not dead, their factions and their political power will not be finished.

As for the fact that there are no parties or factions, wake up, Liu Bei has them all, but someone can suppress them and prevent them from turning into vicious competition. Naturally, they have a profit-seeking mentality. items are of interest.

Even if the world is unified, they can stand up for each other on the battlefield and fight for this country, but they have to fight for everything that should be fought. Even if the final trading point must be owned by the country, this thing can stick to their own past. The circle of influence is also easy to take advantage of.

"Seeing how bright your eyes are, I know you are very interested in this." Chen Xi glanced and found that even a gentleman like Xun Yu has very bright eyes. This is really big money, very big. kind of.

"This kind of thing has a profound impact on us, so we need to be cautious." Xun Yu said with a gentle smile without trying to hide it.

"Well, this makes sense. I haven't decided on the location yet. I plan to build three places. Where do you think it should be built?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and said with a kind of malicious or kind smile. .

"Three places?" Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows. This was considered news, but Chen Xi said he hadn't thought it through yet. He didn't believe it, but it didn't matter whether he believed it or not. This kind of thing related to great interests might be in it. Zhou Yu said Willing to try.
