Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"If Zichu bears half of the blame, what about the rest?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Of the remaining half, most of them belong to me." Chen Xi said indifferently. He could explain anything, even if he should say yes, he didn't need to explain anything. It was his fault.

"You guy, the level of deep understanding of certain issues really makes people feel a little boring." Liu Bei glanced at Chen Xi and said, and Chen Xi rolled his eyes.

"Forget it, you'll know when you go. Although I'm thinking that apart from Liu Zichu and me, other people should at most have not realized the essence of that complex." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "I haven't seen it yet. , and can’t talk so full.”

"Speaking of which, don't you think the north is very desolate?" Liu Bei opened the car window and looked at the rapidly receding fields on both sides of the road. It was really deserted.

"I have nothing to do with this. The current total population of the Han Dynasty, including the foreigners who have been incorporated into it, and the aristocratic families in Central Asia, is only about 60 million, and the territory we occupy far exceeds this scale." Chen Xi said with a sigh.

Thirty million square kilometers, with a population of 60 million, even according to the most basic average method, it can be seen how sparse the population is.

"In addition, after the integration of villages and villages, most of them rely on the villages to build elite areas. The original method of a dozen or twenty households living separately on the land has disappeared in the Central Plains." Chen Xi looked at the vast wilderness outside the window, There is desolation within the visible range.

From the perspective of Yongliang's geographical environment, although there are many places suitable for farming, more places are not very suitable for human habitation.

Naturally, when Chen Xi moved, most of the people moved to places that were convenient for survival and construction.

This is also why Sansha took Guishuang's Buddhist scriptures and read them, and felt that if there was reincarnation, the three of them could enter the Asura Road. There are literally millions of people alive.

Therefore, Li Jue also felt that he was a person of great good and evil. To be honest, the three brothers never denied that they were evil people.

The place Chen Xi chooses to gather villages and villages has always been flat and easy to survive. Even if there is a natural disaster, it can be treated easily, and if there are any public constructions to be added in the future, it can continue to increase.

The place in Yongzhou that fits these attributes is also the place where Li Jue and others gathered millions of people and tried their best to clear it up in the early years. Although there are some suitable places to live in the north, most of the people in Yongliang themselves live in Guanzhong. area.

This also led to the fact that when Chen Xi entered Chang'an later and merged villages and villages, he mostly joined Liufuqu and Zhengguoqu to merge villages and villages.

This is beneficial to people's livelihood and future development, but the disadvantage is what Liu Bei has seen so far. After leaving the radiation area of ​​Chang'an and passing the prosperous area, it is all wasteland.

"Is this side so deserted?" Liu Bei asked looking at the vast wilderness.

"No, at most one generation, this side will be like the other side of Guanzhong Road, a new village will appear dotted around, but then we need to calculate the carrying capacity of the wilderness." Chen Xi said casually, the plan for the next 20 years , Chen Xi basically knew it all.

Even if he didn't make too detailed planning and design, but his eyes fell on this kind of wasteland, Chen Xi was more or less touched.

"The carrying capacity of the wilderness?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi puzzled and asked, what kind of word is this.

"Ah, you don't need to think about this. In fact, it's just a way of saying. Maybe the people don't like the land here, but the land in Yanzhou." Chen Xi said with a smile.

It's meaningless to talk about land carrying capacity and soil erosion with Liu Bei. It's better to simply say that the quality of the land here is not good enough. When the time comes, the people don't want to come here. Wouldn't it be good to go to other places that fall fallow every two years? ?

As for the problem of people leaving their hometowns, Chen Xi's relocation is a one-time relocation of a group of people, and there will be no such problems at all.

Besides, Yongliang has been frequented by strong troops since ancient times. When the next generation separates and moves to other places, if there is a conflict, it might be unlucky for the other party.

Liu Bei was stunned for a while when he heard this answer, and then nodded silently. After all, he has also farmed, so he naturally knows where the land is good and where the land is not. For example, the land in the north of Yongzhou was indeed worthy of It's Nakata.

But now that the Han Dynasty is big enough, and Chen Xi has pried out the major families, the people of the Central Plains are now qualified to farm selectively like some countries in later generations.

"Yes, if they had a choice, they would definitely not want to come here. Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou all have a lot of vacant land." Liu Bei nodded and said.

In addition to the convenience of management, to a certain extent, the combination of villages and villages is also for the convenience of military settlements. The villages of the common people are put aside, and then the state-run land can be connected into one piece. Can save a lot of things.

In addition, Chen Xi rushed to the possible mechanization early in the morning, which can be regarded as preparation for the technology that may be developed in the future.

"Actually speaking, this is all a population problem, and it will take twenty years to solve this problem anyway." Chen Xi said with a deadpan expression, there is really no way around this matter.

In order to increase the population, Chen Xi invested a lot of money in medical and health care, and he has focused on medical and health care since the first five-year plan, but doctors are not grass, and they can be harvested next year if they are planted this year. The training of doctors is especially important. It is Chinese medicine, and it takes five to seven years to start.

Reasonably speaking, the reasonable ratio of doctors to common people should be about 2/1000. The question is where Chen Xi can get about 100,000 doctors.

In fact, at present, let alone one hundred thousand doctors, even if there are ten thousand doctors, Chen Xi doesn't have any. How many doctors there were in 195, Chen Xi is currently at the top of the five for this doctor, and in 195 the Central Plains could really People who are considered doctors, add up to less than five hundred, multiplied by five, can't solve the problem now.

This is also the reason why Chen Xi arrested Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing for five years before releasing them. In the past five years, these two people have been engaged in Chinese patent medicines. The prescriptions are very simple, the materials are very easy to find, and the price Extremely cheap and mainly used to treat common diseases.

It is unrealistic to train doctors. It will take 20 to 30 years of accumulation to barely produce a usable scale. Even if Chen Xi is willing to invest enough time, energy, and huge funds in it, the common people can't wait.

So Chen Xi chose to be opportunistic, just like how Huanghao Decoction killed typhoid, we can also make some medicines that mainly treat common diseases.

In the past five years, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing have mainly dealt with common diseases and developed Chinese patent medicines that can be promoted across the map. By this year, most of them have been solved. The remaining part is really helpless, or it is easy to mix with other diseases. Mixed, there is no way to solve it directly, or the price of the targeted medicine is a bit too high.

Chen Xi's request is that the price of these medicines should not exceed ten cents. It would be even better if they can be lowered to one penny. Of course, if it can be like Huanghao soup, I will draw a picture for you directly, and then you can go outside to find it yourself. , Come back and cook it, it will be more perfect.

But this is unrealistic. If any kind of disease that can be called universal is killed like this, then the person who created this targeted medicine is enough to be canonized.

Therefore, most of the final finished products are sold for a few pennies, and the effect is not bad.

"In short, many problems are not solved in one link, all the problems are solved, but solved in one link, which is just a step forward, and there is still a long way from the overall solution." Chen Xi said calmly, anyway, after so many years , Chen Xi is also used to it.

"Now that the people live and work in peace and contentment, the population will increase rapidly." Liu Bei said with a smile.

Chen Xi curled his lips, everyone said so, but the problem is that we are short of people now, less than two people per square kilometer, even if we don’t count those not-so-good places, can we have ten people per square kilometer? is the problem.

"Forget it, let's not talk about the population. This thing is one of the very few things that I can't do anything about. It has its own internal laws. We can only speed up this law, but it is impossible to completely change this law. And this kind of Acceleration is also very limited." Chen Xi spread his hands and looked helpless, the reality is like this.

"However, no matter there are people or people, your road is always so smooth." Liu Bei looked at the county-level road with a smile. During this journey, Liu Bei hardly saw a few people on it, but the road was still repaired very well. flat.

"Whether there are people is a social problem, and whether they are repaired or not is a government problem. I can't solve the former, but I have to solve the latter." Chen Xi looked out the window and said, "After all, the existence of this road is also very meaningful. Now no one is because of summer, you will know when you come to see it in winter.”

The climate at the end of the Han Dynasty was a bit close to the Little Ice Age, which was very different from later generations, but even in later generations, the Yellow River should freeze or freeze in winter.

Therefore, in winter, it is not very realistic to continue to walk the Yellow River, but will the transfer of materials stop in winter? With a population of one million in Chang'an, the required materials are very large, and the materials that need to be transported still need to be transported.

Naturally, land transportation was a very important way at that time, and this road is an important transportation line for land transportation between northern Xinjiang and Chang'an in winter. Of course, in summer, this road is really not easy to travel. When water transportation is available, water transportation is generally chosen. Yes, it saves trouble and has a large volume of transportation.
