Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Southern development, Wenru, how long do you estimate it will take?" Chen Xi asked with a little thought, and he also had a psychological estimated time.

"One generation, if you are a little bit harsher, about fifteen years, to be honest, although it is not very acceptable psychologically, but in fact, according to the estimates of the people I brought, the south is more suitable for grain production than the north. Of course, the prerequisite is Large-scale development." Li You said with a little regret, "Well, in fact, the south is relatively flatter, but too many things grow."

Li You's vision is not bad, and he also brought a group of professionals. He also conducted a professional assessment of most of the southern Jingyang in the spare time of cleaning up the family.

In addition to the official action, the files sealed in various places were transferred as soon as they were said to be transferred, and those who did not have files found local old people. Relying on his own mighty power, Li You got all the materials, whether they were dead materials or living materials.

Afterwards, he handed it over to the professionals in Tongtong, expressing that he must give an evaluation result before returning to Chang'an. For this, Li You even went to give the professional evaluation staff a sincere and convincing smile.

Needless to say, Li You is not a professional, so he doesn't know much about these things, but when he returned to Chang'an, those professionals were all with dark circles and bloodshot eyes, and lost about five or six catties. The professional evaluation reports of hydrology and soil quality in each region gave Li You very professional evaluation results according to the photo area.

Although the final result was somewhat counter-intuitive to Li You, the evaluation content of those professionals, and even the comparison results between the experimental group and the control group, made Li You very convincingly agree with the conclusions drawn by this group of people.

Of course, after listening to Li You's detailed report, Chen Xi couldn't help guessing maliciously in his heart. The reason why Li You agreed was probably not because of the huge amount of evaluation reports produced by those professionals. The detailed evaluation content was probably more because of this. The task was arranged by him, Li You himself.

In this world, according to the current reality, in theory, there should be no guy who knows that he is working for Li You, but dares to obey the law. Therefore, although the content of this evaluation report is very counterintuitive to those professionals, there is no one in it. The words are randomly modified.

"It's about the same as what I thought." Chen Xi nodded and said.

He also meant the same thing, but Li You hadn't thought about the scale of resources Chen Xi was willing to invest in. In the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Xi planned to develop the more important areas in ten years, and then slowly implement them in the same way. Li Youxiang is almost the same, all of them are in the army.

"I think your proposal back then can be implemented, and it can be even more extreme." Li You glanced at the people present listening to his speech, seeing that Chen Xi already knew it, so he knocked on the table and said solemnly.

"Resource integration, integration?" Chen Xi looked at Li You thoughtfully, guessing what Li You wanted to say, because there was something involved, and even Chen Xi only proposed to implement it.

"Yes, just abolish the things that are not suitable in certain places." Li You said extremely aggressively, "Then let suitable places produce in large quantities and transfer them here. If we transfer them on a large scale now, we can also lower prices , is more suitable for development.”

"What exactly do you want?" Chen Xi's eyes twitched twice, he suspected that Li You was going to make big news, so he asked tentatively.

Although Chen Xi also has some ideas of abolishing some unsuitable industries in certain areas, but if he really wants to say it, Chen Xi has never thought of radically promoting these things. After all, Chen Xi is very clear about how the bureaucracy will be when it is for political achievements. Unscrupulous.

Of course, one size fits all is fine, but one size fits all, there will be some troubles, and it is really not friendly to the people at the bottom. Of course, if it is implemented well, one size fits all is also a good solution. The problem is that Chen Xi has no problem with the bureaucracy I'm really worried.

"After walking around the south, I deeply feel that it is better not to farm in places like Liangzhou. Let them all serve as soldiers, and the grain is transferred from other places. The output of farming itself is low, and a lot of time is wasted. "Li You threw out a big news directly, and the audience was in an uproar.

"It's unreasonable. If it all depends on transshipment from other places, what will the locals eat?" Zhang Zhao asked directly, but Jia Xu, who understands the current situation in Liangzhou, was thoughtful.

"All the locals are soldiers, supported by the state, professional soldiers, all those who want to farm go away, and all those who stay in Liangzhou are soldiers!" Li You said with a sneer, "Just take Jiangnan as a grain production area, anyway, the group of people in the south except Archery is okay, others, hehehe!"

That is to say, Li You dared to mock the southern soldiers for their weak combat effectiveness, and the others basically kept silent on this issue. On the one hand, it was a matter of face, and on the other hand, the proposal to abolish the southern military system was really nonsense.

"You northerners can fight on the boat!" Yu Fan jumped on the spot and sarcastically said to Li You, "South boat and north horse, you can indeed fight on land, but you can also fight on water?"

"How many navy troops are there?" Li You said coldly, "Let's put it this way, I admit that there are elite soldiers in the south, but there are more miscellaneous soldiers in the south. The guys who rushed over and turned around and ran away are all disbanded, let them go to farm, mixing in the ranks is harmful to the ranks, and it is also harmful to them."

Li You was completely dark, not to mention that Pang Tong and the others looked unhappy after hearing this, but I have to admit that what Li You said was the truth, many infantrymen in the south had seen cavalry rushing over, The guy who turned around and ran directly is a pit!

"I know you're not convinced, but to be honest, the millions of people in the south still make up their minds. It's enough to send out tens of thousands of sailors and archers. It's better for everyone to just give up the rest." Li You didn't care at all. The faces of Pang Tong and others were slightly tactful.

"In this case, wouldn't the south be empty?" Lu Su changed the topic and gave both sides a step. He really felt that if he continued, he might have to do something. After all, this really touched the fundamental interests of the south.

"Let professional people do professional things. Although the investigation reports in the South are very counter-intuitive, but from my experience, those who make these reports dare not fool me on this aspect, that is to say , the south should be the real food production area of ​​the entire Han Empire in the future." Li You looked unhappy, but he didn't show any hostility.

Chen Xi nodded when he heard the words. This is Li You's quality. Even if this guy came up with something counterintuitive, as long as he is sure it is correct, he will never deny it.

To be honest, for the era when 70% of the population of the Han Dynasty was in the north and all five grain-producing areas were in the north, the south would become the core of agricultural output. Intuitively, however, no matter in terms of hydrology, light, climate, and soil, the south is indeed more suitable for grain production than the north.

It can be said that if other people receive this report, they will definitely be suspicious, and even the investigators may modify the data and report it.

Only people like Li You go to investigate, even if the people below come up with a counter-intuitive thing, they dare not change it on the top, and only Li You, who holds a counter-intuitive thing, as long as they are sure Wrong, he dared to execute based on this.

Thinking about it, it will be the era of "Suzhou and Hangzhou are cooked and the world is full", and then "Huguang is cooked and the world is full". Based on this, Chen Xi also understands that the south will be the real grain production area in the future. This is what Chen Xi proposed An important reason for vigorously developing the South.

But now there is one more teammate, and he is also a very powerful teammate. Before, the others could only say that they implemented it based on Chen Xi's decision, rather than really thinking that the great development of the South is of great necessity.

Think about it, without the government investing manpower and material resources in the south, from the development of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period to the Tang Dynasty to the end, Lingnan was still a place of exile. It has been more than a thousand years!

In fact, the real south entered the development period when it was the Song Dynasty. Although the southern crossing of the Jin Dynasty did develop a wave of Jiangnan, but with such a small population, the way of development is private investment, which is a ghost!

Therefore, Chen Xi came up with a proposal to build military colonies and land reclamation corps, and even started with the idea of ​​destructive or even destructive development. Anyway, professional land reclamation corps would only invest 50 at most, and a land as large as Jiangnan would be destructively developed. It cannot be destroyed either.

But now after Li You went to Jiangnan once in person, he seems to have a better idea. Chen Xi expressed his understanding of this, and was willing to provide some support. It's just that Li You's steps are a bit too big, and specialization is indeed a problem. Not bad, but not a little too fast!

Although Chen Xi also felt that most of the infantry in the south were not very good, it was a little provocative to say so directly, and Li You directly proposed to abolish Liangzhou's fields and rebuild the barracks. Wrong medicine.

"I'm convinced that the south will become the grain producing area of ​​the whole country." Chen Xi coughed lightly twice to attract everyone's attention, "But I think it's better to give up farming in Liangzhou or something. Two is better, which is really too radical."

"No, I think it's radical to use the entire south as a grain-producing area, and it's even more radical to abolish the southern infantry, not to mention that the climate and precipitation in the south are not suitable for grain-producing areas." Yu Fan directly He patted the table and said, this guy also has a tough temper.
