Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

The road was fairly smooth. Although there were no post stations on this broken road, Chen Xi was not really out of his mind. There would be a village every once in a while on this road.

The distance between any two villages is relatively far, but if the horse-drawn carriage runs all the way, you can encounter six or seven villages a day. This distance is just enough for those caravans who travel by land to rest. One day can go to the next place.

It is also for this reason that these villages have some extra private houses, which are different from the particularity of post stations. These private houses are for the caravans to live in, and the price is quite cheap, but they can be fully occupied every day in winter, so it is quite expensive. make money.

As for the ownership of these inns, it naturally belongs to the government. After all, the entire village was moved here by Chen Xi, and all the houses were built directly from the beginning. Chen Xi had done these things well from the beginning.

It's just that the money earned in this way is basically not reflected in the account book. Most of it is because of finding things for the local people, such as snow removal and deicing in winter, ensuring the passage of roads, and ensuring the cleanliness and sanitation of the homestay in summer. Spent.

This broken homestay doesn't seem to make much money, but it seems that the people in the village can get an extra one or two thousand cash if this thing exists for a year, and it seems to be okay to use it to subsidize their lives.

As for the collection of taxes, this kind of stuff really counts. If it is too detailed, it is not realistic, but obviously every place is about the same distance from the next one, but still some villages earn more, and some villages earn more. At least, Chen Xi didn't want to make any comments about it.

But on the whole, with such subsidies, life can indeed be better, and it also makes Chen Xi more aware of the jobs that can be provided by relying on the village, what the hell is there for the people, so the next direction of development is Rural low-level manufacturing industries that require a large amount of labor, or low-level rural workshops.

In short, it's enough to just stuff people in. Anyway, Chen Xi understands that labor is really worthless in feudal society when the farming is slack.

Therefore, the wages of the rural manufacturing industry can drop to the level that it is not considered a job, but the level of food and drink plus income subsidies. I don’t think about wages and so on. The level of two to three thousand yuan a year, as long as food and drink are in charge. It seems that the people of this era are willing to go home and farm safely during the busy farming season.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Xi felt that his cost could be discounted again, so that there would be room for profit and exploitation. The main reason was that after Chen Xi went out to meet more than a dozen villages, he found that the salary he thought was actually too high.

Going out to sweep snow in the winter, the village head directs the whole village to go out together, take care of food and drink, if the food is better, you will be paid, and you can do it for five cents. After all, there are really no entertainment activities in this era. The activity of snow removal is also considered an activity.

This is what Liu Bei asked himself. Just as Chen Xi guessed, Liu Bei really knows at least two or three militiamen in each village, and these two or three militiamen have all been on the battlefield, or retired after reaching the age, Or be discharged due to injury.

But no matter what the reason was, Chen Xi's usual arrangement was to be soldiers of the regular army, but anyone who participated in the war and retired without any other bad deeds would be treated favorably.

Captains of the militia, low-level managers of factories and mines, servants of the government office, in short, there are many positions, and all of them can be arranged. As for the captains of the village soldiers like this, this is basically a routine arrangement after the team leader retires. A militia captain who has seen blood will never tremble when something really happens.

After all, there are more ferocious beasts than people these days, tigers, leopards and wolves who are hungry in winter happen from time to time, and there are always people who are young and strong and put on weapons and equipment to deal with such things.

"Mr. Xuande, what do you think when you see these people?" Chen Xi poured a bowl of rice wine for Liu Bei and Jian Yong. This was a gift from the team leader who came before. I know Liu Tong, but he knows Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also knows each other.

Especially when Liu Bei asked him, when you retired from the army, you said that your third son was about to be born. Now when the third son is doing, the team leader slapped his thigh with a liver pain expression. She is still a daughter, but fortunately, he can support her these days, and the fourth child can be regarded as a son, not skinny.

Liu Bei laughed when he heard the words, turned around and brought his three or four-year-old son over. Liu Bei fumbled around and gave a piece of candy, and then at night the team leader brought a jar of wine, saying that he didn't Thinking that Taiwei still knows himself after so many years, this is the wine in his family's village, brewed by himself, and then Liu Bei accepted it without saying anything.

"He definitely doesn't know that I know him." Liu Bei said with a smile, "Actually, I not only know him, but also his two deputies. When he was in northern Xinjiang, he even killed two Huns."

"Injured and discharged?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and asked, unlike killing ordinary miscellaneous Hus, when the Han Dynasty counts meritorious service, five or six count you as one. Killing the Huns, one counts as one, and killing two on the battlefield The Huns, coupled with the victory in Beijiang, that team led the starting five titles.

Calculated according to the delayed retirement time of the fifth-level title, judging by the guy's age, he should not be able to retire now, and this guy has obviously retired for several years, so he can only retire due to injury.

"Well, the injury is gone, but it seems that the past few years have been raised well, and it is no longer obvious." Liu Bei nodded, "This guy should have belonged to a big family before he was released."

"That's right, five hundred and fifty acres of land." Chen Xi nodded, "It must be enough to support the family. A fake militia captain, it should be the village chief's return."

"He said that the village chief did a better job than him, so he stepped down to become the captain of the militia." Liu Bei said with a smile, "But I am very pleased to see this scene, this is an old man who participated in the battle of Jizhou. "

"Xiliang cavalry?" Chen Xi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"You guy obviously didn't know anything at the beginning, but you can guess everything after talking about it." Liu Bei said with an angry look at Chen Xi.

"Being able to come here means that my hometown is here." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "And we started from Mount Tai, the only ones who can follow us are the Xiliang cavalry."

"When he was the tallest, he had a ninth-level title." Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Later, he was deprived of his title because he killed several prisoners and couldn't hide it, but I don't think he cares much about these things. "

"This kind of thing is inevitable." Chen Xi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Based on Chen Xi's understanding of Liu Bei, maybe Liu Bei has already recalled everything about that guy.

"Does Xianhe have any thoughts?" Chen Xi looked at Jian Yong and asked. As for Han Xin and Bai Qi, although they also sat with these three, they obviously didn't want to intervene. Face memory ability, I really don't know what to say.

They also know very well how perverted Liu Bei's ability is in military affairs.

"Are we really going to build an urban-rural transportation line in this kind of place?" Jian Yong said with a sigh, "This kind of route will be fatal."

"If you die, you have to run for me." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "In the elite areas of various states and counties, if the logistics and transportation lines are established, it will not only make things convenient for the people, but also make some money, but there are some things that cannot be just considered. Make money."

Some things will indeed lose money, but from the perspective of the overall situation, even if it is a loss, it must be done.

"What I'm thinking about is how much I will lose." Jian Yong sighed and said, it is enough to open a line in this kind of place, even if the problem is a line, I will lose money.

It’s nothing to lose a road, but since leaving the essence of Guanzhong Road, Jian Yong has been thinking that there should be a lot of such places in the land of the Han Dynasty, and according to Chen Xi’s previous plan, all places If everything needs to be done, there are too many places to lose.

"I can't lose much." Chen Xi thought for a while, it seemed that it was raising horses, transporting carriages, and loss of fixed assets. According to the current situation, only one or two drivers are needed, and the daily loss can support a hundred cash. However, this kind of rural road traffic, under the current circumstances, only needs 20,000 to 30,000 roads, and it looks like a loss of two to three million dollars a day.

Okay, Mr. Wu'an in a year and a half, sprinkled water, can afford to lose money, put aside the money and so on, the situation in the elite area, this kind of transportation and logistics transportation can make money, and there is an official duty to divert some materials for transshipment , no problem at all.

But in general, balance of payments is overthinking, but it is meaningful for other industries. Besides, this is just now, and there will be more opportunities in the future. This is a sunrise industry. Take your time, and it’s okay to lose some .

"I will lose almost one billion dollars a year." Jian Yong said with some headaches.

"You are calculating these things very accurately now." Chen Xi said curiously.

"I've been learning these things for the past two years, and I've already started doing village route surveys, so I won't be confused." Jian Yong rolled his eyes and said.

"It's such a loss." The three people on the side all looked surprised.

"Actually, it can't be calculated like this. It's just a link, and it may not be a loss overall." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, because this thing is made in conjunction with the next five-year plan, and it will wait until the next village workshop starts. , this thing is very useful.

More importantly, when the common people have spare money, they want to go to the county seat, and the desire of the county seat will increase, and the pressure on the transportation network will also increase.

Compared with the panicked layout at that time, we will conduct a trial run now, and if we expand at that time, we will have experience in many things.
