Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

A large empire like Anxi collapsed, and the order also collapsed in the ensuing war. If you want to stabilize it, you must have an empire-level existence to do it.

That is to say, if we want to take over Anxi now, only Rome, the Han Dynasty, and Guishuang can do it. It seems simple to rule from chaos, but under the premise of the complete collapse of order, the manpower and material resources that need to be invested , it becomes very large.

However, among the three families, Rome is eager to die in peace. Guishuang is still waiting for Rome, an ally, to help out. Only the Han Dynasty can barely spare some hands to deal with this matter, but that is just Barely strong level.

It is easy to defeat a country, and it is not difficult to destroy a country. It is rare to annex that country. Even if the Han Dynasty planned to rest in peace for a long time, and colluded with Rome, it really wants to take over Anxi, not a barren land with no people for thousands of miles. It's not that easy either.

This is also the reason for enforcing the aristocratic family to Anxi. The Han Dynasty has no more people to manage such a huge country. If the original order exists, the Han Dynasty can still maintain it by relying on inertia. Now the order has collapsed Yes, it is too difficult to take over.

The short-term military control can indeed be maintained, but after a long time, the cost of continuing to maintain it will be too high. It can be said that the most urgent thing is to force many aristocratic families. However, the situation in the Northeast , so that Chen Xi could only press the matter of enfeoffment first.

Even though Chen Xi knew very well that enfeoffment is actually the most correct choice now, but if those people did not complete the reclamation of the Northeast Plain, Chen Xi would just let them go, and then the state would have to take over the mess in the Northeast. There are bigger problems.

So much so that now Chen Xi can only watch the humanitarian disaster in Central Asia and stand by, at most urging many aristocratic families to speed up land reclamation.

There is no way that the replacement itself was a pitfall back then. At that time, Chen Xi negotiated with many aristocratic families, one to two, that is, one mu of land in the Central Plains, no matter whether it is a large mu or a small mu, and whether it is paddy field or dry field, I will give it to you. Calculate it as a large-acre paddy field, and give you twice the replacement.

In this replacement method, the major families can’t pick out the thorns, and after pushing Yuan Shao horizontally, all fools know that Liu Bei is powerful, and the trend of swallowing mountains and rivers has begun. Even if the general trend of the world is not clear, the general trend of Liu Bei sitting in the Central Plains is basically stable. up.

Therefore, the major families did not reject Chen Xi's proposal. After all, the black land has nothing to say in terms of soil quality. , are basically quite satisfied.

As for the fact that the land needs to be reclaimed, since the difficulty of reclaiming the wasteland is almost zero and the seeds can be planted directly after rough plowing, the major aristocratic families are too lazy to argue with Chen Xi.

Although Chen Xi later informed the major families that you should open up as much wasteland as possible, at least clear up the part you claimed, but at that time, the major families did not take it seriously, and they all felt that Chen Xi probably You're mentally ill, so you don't need to talk about this kind of thing?

After all, the soil quality in the Northeast is very good, and it is very suitable for farming. Rough farming can produce considerable output, so the major families worked hard.

But how to say? The aristocratic families who can come to the Northeast all have too large land under their names. Even if it is a rough type, slash-and-burn farming will take a lot of time.

Therefore, last year, when Chen Xi paid New Year greetings to Chen Ji, Chen Ji complained that there was not enough manpower, so much land was occupied, and he hadn't finished reclaiming wasteland. He continued to work hard next year, and had to turn those acres into squares. To put it simply, It is from the rough and crazy type to the fine type.

When Chen Xi replaced them, he warned the big families that they must reclaim all the places they replaced and plant food. The other is not to play slash-and-burn farming for me, at least let me achieve the average level of intensive farming in the Central Plains.

At that time, the major families still thought that Chen Xi was crazy. Anyone with a sick mind would abandon such a good land. As for the intensive cultivation, it is up to you to explain it.

As a result, basically all of them fell into the pit now. A group of people had the opportunity to take advantage of the country, so they unceremoniously fished into their arms, and now they are all trapped.

Small mu for big mu, one mu for two mu, field for field, verification? Forget it, there is no need to check, your big families report it, this is my benefit to you, Chen Xi really said so in front of Chen Shang back then (Chapter 718).

Of course, this was also done later, which is why the major families had no intention of resisting, and they followed suit halfway. On the one hand, Liu Bei's power was indeed strong enough at that time, and on the other hand, the benefits given by Chen Xi were large enough. He left without too much struggle.

As a result, he was cheated to death now. The bait Chen Xi gave was getting bigger and bigger. The aristocratic family wanted to eat it even after eating it. Even if Chen Xi had some means of cutting flesh, but looking at the big cake in front, all the big aristocratic families also endured it. Now, bear with it, bear with it, wait until the big pie is eaten, and then settle the account.

In short, Chen Xi relied on such means to make the big families into a mess.

But no matter how embarrassing the big families are, there is only one last thing left now, and they can jump out of the big pit of the Central Plains, leap into the dragon's gate in one fell swoop, and divide the grass.

Therefore, now the major families are crazy about reclamation, even recruiting people from Youzhou to reclaim land without hesitation at home. Half of the fields have not been processed yet.

In other words, they still have half of the tasks left before they go abroad, and more importantly, this half of the tasks are basically done because they are too greedy.

Although Chen Xi deliberately told Chen Shang that the big and small mus are mus, and the paddy fields and dry fields are all fields. I will block the measurement and so on, and I am not afraid of being investigated at all, but in the family that was too ruthless in the wave, basically Already doomed to be much slower than other families.

To make matters worse, the Northeast has already entered late autumn, and it will suddenly enter the freezing period in October. It will be delayed until next year, and in one year, the gap will come out.

Chen Xi was thinking that there should be many patriarchs scolding him in their hearts, but to be honest from the overall situation, those people can't scold them. , I just take as much as I have, and I don’t want any more...

It has to be said that there are many strange things in the circle of aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty. Basically, at this stage, those who can pat their butts and take them directly to Central Asia to split the soil are not simple goods. These families may not be big, but Each has its own ethics.

As for those who couldn't escape, most of them were unlucky children who were too determined to take advantage of the country, but ended up being locked up. Chen Xi reckoned that if this group of people couldn't complete the land reclamation next summer, they would probably jointly request to come to Chen Xi.

The current situation, a year earlier, is really a big difference. After all, the way of enfeoffment this time is very different from the serious entrustment in history. This time, the Han Dynasty is really too lazy to study carefully Carry out meticulous packing.

There is no way, enfeoffment itself is a very big deal, let Chen Xi study each area one by one, Chen Xi himself felt that it was too much, so he gave the entire map of Central Asia to the major families, and directly said that you should go to enclose the land yourself.

So much so that even if the current situation does not mean that the hands are fast and the hands are slow, it must be that if you go early, you will get a good place, and if you go late, you will get a bad place. Under this situation, let alone a year's delay , every extra day, there may be one more Patriarch who stepped down.

But having said that, this situation is indeed a good thing for Chen Xi and the Han family. After this battle, the major families will definitely calm down when they take advantage of the country, and they will not just habitually make money like before. Bundle.

More importantly, at that time, the Han Dynasty will definitely reclaim a lot of reclaimed land, which can be used as large state-owned farms in the future.

The only shortcoming is probably that the large-scale riots that have begun in Anxi itself will become more turbulent because the Han Dynasty personnel cannot arrive on time, but this is not a fatal problem. On the one hand, other people's children can't die On the other hand, didn't Liangzhou people and Qiang people go to town together?

What Chen Xi was thinking about was very different from Zhu Jun and others, but Zhu Jun generally knew what happened in Anxi, so he generally understood what Chen Xi said.

Although from Zhu Jun's point of view, Chen Xi's approach is almost the same. When the internal conflicts at home are difficult to resolve, he randomly creates an opponent and goes first to unify the outside world. This is not the way to solve the problem.

Chen Xi also understands that this is not the way to solve the problem, but if I really want to say it, the conflict between the Qiang people and the Han people in the Xiliang area is doomed to be impossible to solve since a hundred years ago, unless someone really ruthlessly beats one of them. Get rid of.

However, it is unrealistic to solve any of them. Even the Qiang nationality has a population of two to three million, not to mention the Han nationality as the main ethnic group. It is impossible to kill them directly. There are many problems that violence can solve, but some problems are really The unsuitability and violent resolution.

Chen Xi is thinking about moving the Qiang people back to the Central Plains, and then teaching them how to farm, so as to change them from a nomadic people to a farming people, but Chen Xi has not yet made a relevant relocation plan, after all, this is not a small population. Splitting also takes a lot of time and effort.
