Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

After prying out Huaxia's orbit from the cycle of reincarnation where long-term divisions must be reunited and long-term divisions must be divided, Chen Xi seldom has the idea of ​​eager for quick success and quick benefits. The circle is no longer in the previous reincarnation.

For the road ahead, no matter how fast or slow you walk, as long as you don't turn back, you will only get closer and closer to success, so Chen Xi's mentality is very calm.

In the past, facing the situation in northern Shaanxi and other places in later generations, Chen Xi would definitely have the idea of ​​quick success and instant benefit, but now, Chen Xi has been able to face up to this reality.

"Then let's go along this road?" Liu Bei didn't have any purpose, he just took Chen Xi out to relax and avoid Chen Xi from immersing himself in those boring self-blame.

Even if Chen Xi's self-adjustment ability is very good, but for Liu Bei, if this kind of thing can be avoided, it's better to avoid it, take it out to relax, anyway, Chen Xi doesn't work, he just relaxes his mind and can work for a longer period of time. live.

This wave, Liu Bei is really in the atmosphere, and the issue of service life still has to be considered.

"Let's go, just go to see how the construction in the other direction of the North Land leading to by this road is going." Chen Xi said indifferently.

Later generations of the Loess Plateau belonged to Yongzhou and Bingzhou respectively during this period. Needless to say, those close to Bingzhou were basically sucked away by the ranch.

Chen Xi has nothing to do with the ones that have not been sucked away. He can only follow the second plan, which is to shovel out a place suitable for establishing a county in that complex terrain, absorb the population of the mountainous area, and make the other party walk out of the Loess Plateau. The effect, this time I just went to see it.

"The Beidi ranch is very well built." Liu Bei said thoughtfully. After all, he went to the Beidi ranch himself once. Liu Bei's sense of the place is really good. Providing meat and milk is a very important job.

It is precisely because it is too important that Liu Bei will evaluate the bureaucrats arranged there, and it needs to be rotated periodically. Because it is too important, it is not only to solve the local food problem, but also to maintain national stability, which is an important support for military strength.

"If you really want to say it, it's okay." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, but didn't think of anything else, only the big horned deer raised by Jiang Qi, the red deer raised by Liu Ru and so on.

"Although these things were built by you, I always feel that you seem to have the least regard for them." Liu Bei said quietly.

"Ah, that's not true. I rarely underestimate others." Chen Xi shook his head and said.

"It probably means that in your eyes, what they have done has not reached the limit you want." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi's clear eyes and said with a smile. Chen Xi was speechless.

"You bastard, I don't know if it's because of your arrogance, or because you put yourself in the other's shoes." Liu Bei said with a smile, he really had nothing to say to Chen Xi.

"It doesn't count, because there is indeed room for growth." Chen Xi scratched his head and said, animal husbandry is almost the only industry in the Han Dynasty that may be comparable to China in the industrial age of later generations, because compared to the capital that later generations can invest, this The times can pat their chests and guarantee ten times!

Although even if ten times as much grassland as later generations are invested, the output is only about one or two tenths. Of course, it must be admitted that this scale is already very scary in this era.

"That's what you think is room for growth." Liu Bei said helplessly, "Although it's a good thing to push yourself and others, you really can't think that everyone has your ability."

"I didn't, and I didn't hold that hope." Chen Xi denied very formally.

"You don't have it if you say no, but I still want to make a digression. You didn't say anything before, and I haven't noticed that any large ranch actually has the operation function of a county. The entire Northland The counties revolve around the big ranch, and even if there is no bureaucratic system in Beidi, the big ranch can still revitalize Beidi County, right." Liu Bei said suddenly.

Liu Bei didn't pay attention to this before, but after Chen Xiyan replaced these executive-level bureaucrats with managers of state-owned factories and mines, Liu Bei discovered this fact. The dozen or so large ranches in the north really covered their own functions. the county where they are located.

"Ah, yes, the ranchers of the Great Northland Ranch have a definite salary, with a rank of two thousand shi, and the Northland Great Ranch has a captain, Du Wei Jianggong, Guanneihou, with a rank of two thousand shi." Chen Xi He nodded and said, this is actually a very clear configuration of a large county.

"Then there is no sheriff in Beidi County itself?" Liu Bei asked a little puzzled.

"There are no sheriffs or captains. There are only part-time bureaucrats in name. In fact, Beidi County itself was in a deserted state before. It was after the large ranch that we had the prosperity we saw the year before last. Those people are basically the employees of the ranch and their families, and the consumption of these people has produced other links." Chen Xi explained.

There are not even people, and the official titles are all nonsense. At the beginning, Beidi was not an empty city, but it was almost the same. When Jiang Qi took the Beidi ranch to fly, there will naturally be people, and then attract people from other places to settle. In the end, there was a county town that looked fairly prosperous.

At this time, it is actually possible to establish a bureaucratic system with the new county as the core, but Chen Xi is purely to save trouble. Anyway, it can operate without those people. They just keep working as before.

After all, two thousand cows are eaten a year, so it is not too much for you to do other jobs part-time.

"That's it." Liu Bei expressed his understanding. Although he vaguely felt that this management method was a bit weird, he recalled that when he went to the Northland the year before last, there was no problem with the operation there, so he didn't think much about it. It's good to send salaries to a few people.

"Because of the dilapidated problems of border counties, many county houses in the Yanbian area were actually not specially built. They first had state-owned factories and mines. Later, due to the development of state-owned factories and mines, the absorbed population established new living areas on their own, and finally formed The county mansion." Chen Xi said calmly, as if talking about a trivial matter.

In fact, this kind of trivial matter is an important part of destroying the personal restraint of the clan, and it is also a way to destroy the absolute authority of the bureaucracy. No matter how you say it, the managers of factories and mines are still different from bureaucrats in this era.

In this way, the managers of factories and mines continue to promote construction, build a new city in the wilderness, and then the bureaucrats are never in place, but they continue to operate, and finally serve as the bureaucratic system, which itself is disintegrating the authority of the bureaucracy.

Just like Liu Bang's descendants wanted to wash Liu Bang, but a group of cheerful old guys around said come, come, come, you have never seen your ancestor, but we have, you can whitewash some unimportant details That's all, I'm afraid I'm not blind if I blow these things that we can see as fake!

So it can only let it go, the rogue is the rogue.

In the same way, the general environment of factories and mines is there. If you know more, it is impossible to produce any sanctity. What bureaucrats say in terms of industrial structure also belongs to the tertiary industry. The service industry has a relatively strong source of functions.

However, Chen Xi didn't bother to explain this kind of thing. To change this era, it's unrealistic for Chen Xi alone. Wang Mang's steps are too big, and he will disappear immediately, so it's better to be realistic, and directly attack those who can be easily touched. If you can't touch it easily, leave a seed.

Anyway, the times are developing, and there is no telling when these seeds can take root and germinate, and grow into giant trees in the sky.

"Oh, so that's the case." Liu Bei nodded. Although Chen Xi didn't explain the reason, he thought about it from the perspective of human relations, and he also felt that the owner of the state-run factory, mine, and large ranch managed to pull up a piece of white land and create a prosperous place. The county mansion, and then a group of newcomers were airborne to take over all the positions in the county mansion.

This is unjustifiable no matter what, so even if it is against the rules, it is better not to assign a position to the other party and let the other party concurrently take over the position, than to seize power by airborne.

"However, if Jizhou is to be dealt with this time, I am afraid that the big counties in the north will also need to make a move, and the same is true for the Department of Smelting." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.

"Remove those personnel from their original management positions in state-owned factories and mines, and then take up positions like county guards that they previously held concurrently?" Liu Bei instantly understood Chen Xi's intentions, but his expression was obviously hesitant, "In this case, isn't it a bit owe?"

"Ah, we'll talk about whether we are owed or not. After all, they were only part-timers before, and there was no clear text. Now that they have given Yinshou, it can be regarded as a new entry path. It's just a pity." Chen Xi's face clearly showed hesitation. .

During this period, the owners of those large pastures in the north were carefully selected by Chen Xi...

Well, it was Liu Yan who searched all over the world and searched for important livestock talents from all over the country. The most suitable occupation for these people is to be managers of large-scale animal husbandry in the country. If they go to become officials, these people are not Can't be considered excellent.

Just like Jiang Qi and Liu Ru, neither of them actually wants to be an official, because they are not good at managing people, and even their own ranch is managed by their subordinates. work.

The management is not good, but the technical ability of the two of them is very strong, so strong that the executives can be changed, but the chief engineer cannot be changed, so it is nonsense to get these two people to become officials.

In the same way, the nominal administrators of the thirteen early ranches were basically such technical talents. They might understand management, but management was definitely not what they were best at.

"Then you can send the document to them and let them recommend it." Liu Bei said indifferently, since he didn't want them to leave, he just didn't give it to them.

Hearing this, Chen Xi glanced at Liu Bei angrily. You think this kind of thing, I can't think of it. The problem is that there are official fans in it. If Chen Xi gave a recommendation letter, the other party must be determined to become an official. The problem is that Chen Xi doesn't want to Let these professionals become officials.

If you run to become an official, and then you fail to resist the temptation and are ruined, isn't that a big defeat?

Although Chen Xi complained every day that the ranch was not as good as he thought, but in good conscience, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level in this era.

The shortest answer is that you let three or four of these thirteen people go to become officials, and then ask Liu Yan to find a few more replacements, but Liu Yan can't find them either.

At this level, it's basically a radish and a hole, so Chen Xi doesn't want to let people go.

"At this time, it's up to me." Liu Bei said confidently, "Adjust their vacant positions so that they have the ability to control the local bureaucrats, and then let them nominate local bureaucrats. Of course, they don't recommend them. If it’s not, it’s acceptable, let’s let him serve concurrently, so that both face and face will be saved, and the officials and fans will be satisfied.”

"..." Chen Xi has nothing to say. This is really not treating the local county officials as human beings. Chen Xi thought that although he is sometimes a bit inappropriate, when necessary, he directly ignores the imperial iron fist like Liu Bei. The rules of play are still very different.

In fact, Chen Xi's thinking went wrong. Liu Bei didn't ignore the county-level bureaucrats, but simply figured it out, or more directly, Liu Bei was thinking about the problem from the perspective of selling officials.

Compared to Chen Xi who had to look forward and backward, Liu Bei didn't have to think about these messy things at all. The county was driven by these ranchers, and the cattle and sheep were also made by these ranchers.

The position of a county-level bureaucrat was between one million and ten million dollars during the reign of Emperor Ling. Counties like Beidi and Jiuyuan, which had no oil and water, and were so dilapidated that they had no population and could not be searched, paid a price. , and no one bought it.

Now there is a big man with a net worth of millions of cattle and sheep, with a total value of more than one billion, and a steady stream of output, who supplies meat and dairy products to the people in the north. You can basically guarantee that you won't mess around.

What else is there to say, Lingdi knows how to deal with it, of course it is given, even in Lingdi's year, this kind of good thing, buy one get three, is willing to do it.

What, you want Jiuyuan County to be the sheriff, and produce meat from hundreds of thousands of sheep, thousands of horses, thousands of cows, and dairy products worth hundreds of millions of dollars every year?

What else is there to say, the governor of Jiuyuan County, I will arrange it for you today, if you give more, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Shuofang, and Yanmen can all be arranged for you.

The same is true of Liu Bei's way of thinking. Although it is not good to accept privately, but the other party has given enough. Anyway, in reality, this group of people has actually managed it for several years, and there have been some random disasters. Now they If you want it, just give it to them.

So compared to Chen Xi's complicated way of thinking, Liu Bei is simple. Mathematical problems that the late emperor could figure out clearly still stump me?

"Isn't that the solution? There's no need to struggle." Liu Bei said indifferently. The simple and easy-to-understand math problem is easy to solve. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

"I just feel that some middle-level bureaucrats are not treated as people." Chen Xi said quietly, "But that's it, anyway, it's a way, so let's do it when the time comes."

Liu Bei didn't take it seriously when he heard the words. He didn't think there was any problem with doing so. Of course, it's not a good thing to sell officials and nobles, but if you have a scale in your heart as a reference, you will naturally know what the border counties in Jiuyuan and Yunzhong are. What level is it.

"Big brother, are you also going to Niyang for investigation?" Just as Chen Xi came out from the house and looked around, the frame that was originally several miles in front of Chen Xi and his party was taken by Chen Xi and his party because of the noon break. After catching up, the other party greeted Chen Xi from a distance.

"Ah, yes, go to Niyang to have a look." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Brother, did you go there too? I see you brought a lot of goods."

"Go and have a look. I heard that there are some cheap fruit products over there." The middle-aged man who looked a little rich said cheerfully, and he didn't care about revealing his own information. After all, this trip is just an investigation, what is the result? , no one knows.

"Let's go together, let's go together." Chen Xi ran out from the frame, jumped down, and greeted the opposite side, "I also do some preserved fruit business here, maybe my brother bought and sold the preserved fruit produced here , Tell me, what kind of preserved fruit does my brother receive?"

"Big brother, what kind of preserved fruit do you make? We are from Wudu, Liangzhou. Our surname is Li Mingjun. Our parents didn't give us the word, and we don't need it. We run around and work hard." Li Jun said boldly. , and there is no feeling of being inferior without words.

Then when Chen Xi was about to say that he was engaged in Changchu and persimmon cakes, Liu Bei got out of the car, glanced at Li Jun, and said hello to Li Jun, "Ah, Li Jun, long time no see, you actually Now that you’re in business, don’t you mean you’re going back to Liangzhou to be an instructor?”

What does it mean that your little friend not only does not cover up for you, but also deliberately lets you pass through, even now, Liu Bei has no way to play private interviews in micro-services, because he himself does not know how many people he can know, and how many people there are know him.

"Ah? Ah!" Li Jun was startled, "Taiwei, why are you here?"

"The one next to you who came out to relax." Liu Bei greeted Li Jun. He didn't have any special feeling that Li Jun knew him. The people who knew him were much older, and the people he knew were also much older. By the way, Hearing the name Li Jun, one knew it was named by Liu Bei.

There are no words, how could it be possible to come up with such a beautiful name, of course it is Liu Bei because this is called Li Laoer, that is called Li Laosan, and there are many Li Laosan, so there is no way to tell them apart. The group of guys got a name.

Of course, those who can be named by Liu Bei are all veterans with excellent records on the battlefield, just like the Li Jun in front of him, who is actually a disabled person. When he was fighting abroad, his leg was broken. Let him save his life.

"Chen Hou?" Li Jun's brain speed reached 100 mph, he quickly reacted, and quickly replied, Chen Xi waved his hand resentfully, indicating that it was indeed him, and there was no way to keep a low profile when he came out with Liu Bei, a private visit? White dragon fish suit? What a joke, I was recognized on the spot.

What's more, Liu Bei never concealed the fact that he knew the local people. As long as people came out, Liu Bei would greet them, and he would never turn a blind eye.

"Uh, but I do have a business of preserved fruit. My persimmon cakes and Chang Chugan are always good." Chen Xi said very seriously. He was not joking, but really bought very well, especially persimmon cake.

Compared with things like Chang Chu, whose production is really low these days, the production of persimmons is quite reliable in any era. In addition, the shelf life of persimmon cakes is very good, and the icing content is very high, and they can even be sold to Rome. Therefore, persimmon processing can be regarded as a very good industry.

I have to mention here that the added value of the persimmon industry is actually not high. What can be copied is too little.

Just like the total value of the banana industry can reach hundreds of billions, coconuts can reach hundreds of billions, and persimmons are only tens of billions, but even so, luxury goods such as perfume can still be hung up, so Chen Xi still engages in persimmon related products Industry, after all, this kind of simple and profitable work, of course, cannot be let go.

However, this business can only be done internally after two years, because the Romans who ate persimmons in the past two years transplanted persimmon trees to Spain. It is estimated that in a few years, Rome will also produce and sell them , after all, there is really no technical difficulty in this thing.

Even if there is, it is basically impossible to stop the research of a powerful empire like Rome.

The corners of Li Jun's mouth twitched when he heard the words, but he still didn't say anything in the end. How much property did Chen Xi own, let alone Li Jun, even Liu Ye couldn't figure it out, but if the other party said there was, then there must be.

"Can it be cheaper?" Li Jun suddenly cleared his mind for a moment and asked a question.

"Ah, if you want to get cheap, I suggest you go to Xinzhou to grow melons. The land there is cheap, the light is right, the quality of the melons is good, and the business of growing melons is very good." Chen Xi was asked by Li Jun for a moment, and then said that the God of Wealth would give it to you. Pointing to a clear road, it just so happens that the eastern road from Xinzhou to Chang'an has been repaired. If you go to plant melons, the melons will keep their sweetness. No matter if you plant cantaloupe or watermelon, you will not lose money.

In the past, it must have been planted in places with a suitable climate in the Western Regions, and it must have died, but now the roads that have been built since the time when Cao Cao was in charge of Yongzhou are completely connected to the eastern part of the Western Regions. After planting, they will be directly transported to Chang'an. It will not take a few days to get ready with the horses.

Take the shelf life of melons after picking, let alone the shelf life, the freshness period has never passed, and Chang'an, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, has an explosive consumption power. As long as it is transported there, it will definitely be digested. This business is definitely profitable, because now The first melon eater has not appeared yet.

In addition, all melons pay attention to climatic conditions. With the same seeds, the watermelons grown in Weiyang Palace may not be able to outgrow the area of ​​Xinzhou under Sima Lang's rule. It can be said that this is simply the start of Tianhu, absolutely stable. Profitable business, the proper God of Wealth will guide the way.

"This?" Li Jun was a little confused, "Even if this melon is ripe, it will cost a lot of money to transport it to Chang'an. Such a long distance, no, no, the shipping fee is too expensive."

This is where the problem lies. In normal cognition, the freight for this distance will be more expensive than the fruit itself, but in fact, the logistics industry, as the blood that runs through all core industries, is the basis for revitalizing all regions.

Isn't Chen Xi working hard on infrastructure construction just to wait for the logistics industry to develop and distribute materials from all over the place at a suitable price?

The logistics industry has developed to the point of insanity, and there may even be operations that are price inversions in normal logic.

For example, I bought a set of kitchen utensils at a low price with coupons, discounts, and various messy activities. The quality of the kitchen utensils itself is a normal and qualified product, but the cost is only ten yuan, and then the store will give you from the south. Send it to the north, and finally send it to your hometown.

Among other things, it is a question of whether the more than ten yuan you paid is enough to send things from the south to the north.

That's all, and there are even more insane ones. When the store is rushing, you can buy small items for one yuan and mail them to your home. If you think about it carefully, let alone the things you buy, you don't even know the transportation price. Where did he go.

This is the really crazy place, but this kind of thing is very normal in the eyes of later generations. Northerners spend more than ten yuan to buy small items from the south and mail them home, and southerners spend more than ten yuan to buy small items from the north. It was mailed home, so sparse and common that everyone was used to it.

But in fact, if you really need to calculate one by one, the logistics cost alone is enough to make people crazy.

This is also the reason why Chen Xi sent things to Huangfusong at the time, and at the end of the delivery, he directly put together the orders manually, because the logistics industry must have a scale to dilute the freight rate. Obviously, if Xinzhou is engaged in large-scale agricultural products, relying on the Western Regions channel , can significantly reduce the freight rate.

After all, Jian Yong has been engaged in logistics for the past few years, and order consolidation and resource integration are the key. If Li Jun wants to ride the wind, if he helps Jian Yong to complete the order now, it will be very easy to take off when the time comes. It is possible, as for getting rich or something, it is not impossible.

It's just that such a sudden wealth requires capital, and Li Jun's capital, judging from his current situation, is not considered thin, but it is definitely not thick, so Chen Xi has found a way out, but how to go depends on Li Jun himself thought out.

"I have one question. What if I grow melons in the Jincheng area?" Li Junsi thought about it, and said with some embarrassment. When he arrived in Xinzhou, he really didn't know what to do.

"Jincheng can't grow cantaloupes, only watermelons." Chen Xi said with a smile, and then Li Jun asked again, but Chen Xi stopped answering, the God of Wealth still needs to be reserved.

Li Jun saw that Chen Xi didn't say anything, and he didn't have extravagant demands. Instead, he looked for the dried meat, preserved fruit, and canned food he had brought from the inside of the carriage. Now that he met them, he decided to treat the two of them to a meal.

"Come, come, taste, I wouldn't dare to take it out if it were someone else, but you two are different, so let's taste it." Li Jun took a big spoon out of an earthen pot and took it with him. Chen Xi and Liu Bei added a bowl of juicy apple flesh and candied dates. At this season, the apples and dates hadn't come down yet.
