Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

...

Zhang Fei left. Seeing the excited expression on his face, Chen Xi knew that this guy would probably have a big fight on Mount Tai before coming back.

The next day Liu Bei came again, looking helpless at Chen Xi who was leisurely drinking tea in the government affairs hall, Liu Bei no longer worried that Chen Xi would be exhausted after such a long time, he understood how much trouble there is here The guy had the time to frown, he believed what Chen Xi said on the road, political strategy is what he is good at.

"Zi Chuan is bored again." Liu Bei asked with a smile. He hardly deals with government affairs now. Except for the right to promote or punish his subordinates, Chen Xi basically let Chen Xi figure out other things. , he spends more time selecting people with good physical fitness from among the refugees and then training them. It is still a bit of a look now, but these more than 10,000 recruits are really just the same.

"Water canals, wells, roads are being dug everywhere, and the city walls have been refurbished. Finally, more than a hundred thousand people are at their command. If we can do everything right at once, we can save a lot of things in the future." Chen Xi pretended to take out a scroll of letters. While watching, he said that although he also knew that Liu Bei knew his own character, he was still used to putting on a show in front of his boss, so he shouldn't go too far.

Jian Yong sniggered at the side, and couldn't stop laughing at Chen Xi's expression of pretending to read the slips. He held the slips upside down and was still reading.

"How well Zilong is doing in farming may meet Zichuan's requirements." Liu Bei asked, he was still not at ease about Zhao Yun's ability, after all, it is really not easy for a person with such high martial arts to hope to make political contributions.

"Probably there is only one person in this world who can compete with him in farming." Chen Xi said proudly, "And there is basically no one who can win against him."

This is not Chen Xi bragging. After all, farming is a new thing at this time. Although someone has done it before, after the renovation of Zaozhi, it is basically different from the previous farming. After Ling informed Zhao Yun, he asked Zhao Yun to watch the modification by himself.

Zhao Yun's intelligence is not bad. Although he has never seen this new military settlement model, he can tell the good from the bad, and he will naturally analyze this settlement order with his own eyes. According to Zhao Yun's own words, this The garrison order is indeed a way to quickly accumulate national power, but isn't it a little too much? Isn't it a bit cruel to the common people to divide it fifty-fifty?

Chen Xi didn't bother to explain to Zhao Yun that after the 50-50 split, the common people would live better than before. After all, the middle class was killed directly, 30% of the land tax, 50% of the land rent, and only 20% of the annual planting could fall into his own hands. This is why Obviously, the Ming and Han Dynasties did not lack land, so they should starve to death or starve to death.

As for the 50-50 split that Chen Xi said, it is still divided according to the average value of the spot-checked output. Without private tax, Chen Xi guarantees that even if the 60 mu is divided into half and half in a minor disaster year, at least it will not starve to death. In the end, Zhao Yun insisted and Chen Xi He was stubborn, and he himself couldn't argue with Chen Xi, so he angrily took a group of men down to collect information, and he came back a few days ago.

I have to say that field investigations are really necessary. After more than half a month of research, Zhao Yun found out that what Chen Xi said was actually true. The five-fifth pair can even pass the disaster year. Is there any reason for this? Then why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion occur before?

When Zhao Yun came back, he was holding a gun, with a gloomy expression on his face. It seemed that Chen Xi couldn't argue this time, so he opened two holes for Chen Xi, and held a gun to argue with Chen Xi again, from the tax system to farming, from the yield per mu to the disaster year, After debating for an entire hour, even Jian Yong was shocked, never realizing that Zhao Yun could speak so well.

In the end, Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders and said that Zhao Yun would handle the matter of farming, and he didn’t need to show him the laws and regulations. If he needed anything, he could read the books and go to the field by himself, and if there was a problem, he could just take care of it.

Just like that, Chen Xi sent Zhao Yun away. Although he could find a lot of loopholes in Zhao Yun's garrison orders, Chen Xi preferred to believe that Zhao Yun would notice those things himself. Of course, it was with the passage of time and on-site inspections. It is only noticeable, but it is undeniable that he has taken his own steps.

Listening to Jian Yong talking about the previous events, Liu Bei sighed, "There is nothing wrong with the government orders of the Han Dynasty. What is wrong is that there are always people who take advantage of the loopholes. The powerful family has many talents, but they use the wrong direction."

"There are loopholes in any government order, it's just a question of how many. After all, the way changes at any time. It's normal for the golden laws and regulations in the past to be inconsistent with the present. The important thing is to keep pace with the times." Chen Xi said helplessly.

Chen Xi found that he had to instill some new things into Liu Bei. If he kept holding on to the incomplete, he would be Emperor Guangwu even if the world was unified in the end. The ambition of pointing the sword at the world would rather be like Han Wu's last resort of militarism to the point of seeking defeat alone, and don't want Liu Bei to be bound between his family and relatives like Guang Wu.

Emperor Wu of the Han launched a military campaign, until the end the world was still ruled by the Liu family. For four hundred years, even in the Three Kingdoms era, in the Western Regions, outside the customs, it was still the Han family who ruled as king, and the Quartet proclaimed their vassals. It is the decline of the Han Dynasty, and which foreigner dares to reach out?

The rise of Guangwu represents the gradual dissipation of the martial spirit that would rather not bend. He bowed his head to the aristocratic family. He lowered his head again and again until he finally got used to it. Shameful determination.

To be honest, Chen Xi is not afraid of a Han Wudi, even if he wants to clean up the Xiongnu, the domestic people's hearts are unstable, and there is even a civil uprising, so what? At least there was more than a hundred years of recuperation after the war, a hundred years, a generation of people for a hundred years of recuperation, why worry?

In the late Han and Wu period, the people’s hearts were unstable, but the Xiongnu was basically abolished. If you say that you want to cultivate your health and rest, you should cultivate your health and rest. He didn't worry about things like Kou Bian at all. After that, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty continued to cultivate his health and reached the prosperous age. That is to say, the trouble caused by Emperor Wu was not big, and he could be stable if he wanted to be stable.

And to put it too far, after Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, there will be another ruthless person of Hanwu level and then go back and forth, which is basically equivalent to the whole world's wool-sweeping action, and the Han country can eat all of Asia...

Look at Guangwu again. After Guangwu, the relatives of the aristocratic family took power, and there was no super ruthless person to suppress the aristocratic family and the relatives. Over the past hundred years, the aristocratic family became more and more powerful, until they peeped at the throne, and finally they insisted on playing the Han Dynasty to death. Live, the whole tragedy.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Xi would rather have a militaristic uncle Liu Huang than let him follow the old path of Guangwu. At least the old path of Hanwu can be passed as long as the money and people can withstand it, while the old path of Guangwu is completely a dead end. In the end, even if it is not "the upper class has no poor families, and the lower class has no noble families", it is estimated that it will not be much better. After all, the essence of the aristocratic family is left there, and there will be problems sooner or later if there is no strong suppression.

With this idea in mind, Chen Xi will instill in Liu Bei the idea of ​​dominance, kingly way, and heavenly way when he meets Liu Bei when he has nothing to do.
