Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

"Do you know the gossip about the enfeoffment of the Ganges River?" Han Ni bowed and greeted the old brothers around him, "If there is any new news, let me hear it."

"Rumors are flying all over the sky, and there are new ones, but I just don't know if they are true or not." Bai Rao picked his nose and said. He was considered a leader under Wei Yan. He even took command whenever Wei Yan couldn't defeat him. The temporary commander of the high-speed run.

There is no other way. Compared with retreating from the battlefield, Bai Rao can be called the number one in Guan Yu's entire camp. After all, he is a real famous general who has faced Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song, and has survived several times, and successfully escaped. , no matter how miserable it is, being able to lead a team to escape from this kind of person is all about ability.

"What's the news?" Seeing Bai Rao speak, a group of guys who were eavesdropping crowded around, and then greeted Bai Rao with a playful smile, "Brother Bai, tell me."

Bai Rao's information is generally very accurate. There is no way. Bai Rao is considered one of the backbone of Wei Yan's combat force, and Wei Yan is also Guan Yu's son, or Guan Yu's younger brother. Anyway, he is called that in private. After all, Wei Yan is called Little Guan Yu, on the contrary, almost no one in Guan Ping calls him that.

"I heard that it is divided into large areas, and then the boss will allocate them to us, just like this one level at a time." Bai Rao didn't understand, so Wei Yan just complained to him a few words, he was not big-minded. , there are too few things that can be understood, and the memory is too much occupied by the escape mechanism, so I don't understand it.

But there are some words that you don’t understand, but if you say them, others will understand.

A group of generals around them had a few smart moments to understand the possible enfeoffment methods. Their eyes lit up at first, and then they realized something else.

"Brother Bai, Brother Bai, is there any other good news?" At that time, someone grabbed Bai Rao's arm and asked. Bai Rao is old, so it is not a disadvantage to call him uncle, let alone brother.

After all, according to Chen Xi's retirement mechanism, no matter how young Bai Rao is, no matter how young he is, he should go home and take care of himself. Bai Rao can be considered a special talent who has been reemployed.

"No, that's all Chang Wen told me when we were eating. I don't know what it means. Maybe I can get it too." Bai Rao put the helmet under his arm and scratched it. He scratched his somewhat bald head and found that his brain capacity was not high, he was not very understanding, and he was old.

Just talking about Bai Rao's age, he should have retired a long time ago, but Bai Rao's combat skills are average and his command skills are quite good. If it weren't for his dawdling, Bai Rao could be the commander of a legion and command a legion. good.

Therefore, no one said that Bai Rao should retire. Bai Rao also did well in Wei Yan's army. He could not defeat his opponents several times, but he could quickly seize the opportunity to complete the transition. Before Wei Yan wanted to accumulate combat power and explode, he could also fight The front line advanced and the infantry coordinated to buy Wei Yan time, so Bai Rao kept doing the work of a deputy general and just hanging around.

It's just that maybe because he was hammered too much back then, his sense of crisis was too strong, and all his brain capacity was occupied by these gadgets, many new gadgets did not enter Bai Rao's brain directly. It showed that it was normal during combat, but not at other times. It kind of sounds like Alzheimer's disease.

At this time, several generals who were thinking quickly and already understood how the enfeoffment might be divided unconsciously looked at Bai Rao. If it was really what Bai Rao said, then as long as Bai Rao didn't die, he would definitely be able to get a piece of it, and it would be very good. of a piece.

"Brother Bai must have it, don't worry." The military commander next to him said to Bai Rao with a smile.

"Good word, good word." Bai Rao said cheerfully, cupping his hands, as if he was not arguing with others, while the generals around him who had already understood the situation were thoughtful.

Hundreds of mid-level officers were communicating with each other on the school grounds, sharing what they knew with others, and also learning some things they wanted to know from others. They seemed to be very familiar with each other, but In fact, Guan Yu, who was lying on the camp wall and observing, had noticed that except for a few generals who traveled among several circles, most generals had been divided into several circles, and there were also small circles within several large circles.

"This is how people's hearts are divided." Guan Yu watched this scene silently, somewhat uncomfortable, but fortunately, Chen Xi also arranged a solution.

As for this kind of plan, it is inevitable to encounter some unrepentant guys, as well as some guys who survived on the battlefield even though they did something wrong, but at least most of the problems can be solved. This is enough.

"Yuan Zhi, how are you doing?" Guan Yu and Xu Shu secretly observed the generals in the camp. After watching for a while, Guan Yu turned to Xu Shu and asked.

"I can roughly see something, and the benefits are touching." Even though Xu Shu has never paid much attention to this kind of thing, when most of the middle-level generals gathered together, Xu Shu could naturally see some of the problems. .

"It's not just a matter of interests. It wasn't like this before." Guan Yu looked at the generals in front with some memories. Most of the people here, even if he couldn't name them, had some impressions, so Guan Yu knew it very well. What it used to be like.

"With the promotion of ranks and continuous progress, everyone will have new ideas. After all, when it is difficult to survive, human beings will only think about living. When they can survive, human beings will think about living better. Okay." Xu Shu replied calmly, "This is actually a kind of progress. As long as there are no violations, we should not stop their progress."

"Yes, as long as there are no violations, we should not stop their progress." Guan Yu's voice was somewhat low. The expansion of desire itself means that the staged goals have been achieved, and the expansion of ambition itself also means that the early stage goals have been achieved. The destination has been reached.

Few people have lofty goals in mind from the beginning. More people are caught up in the torrent of the times. Those who can achieve a certain goal and move towards the next goal are already outstanding people, such as those on the school field. Most of the middle-level generals, even all of them, had never considered the issue of fiefdom twenty years ago when they were starving three times a day.

From this point of view, they have indeed made progress, and they have made great progress.

"It's good. At least we haven't taken that step yet. As long as there is no first person to do something, or even the first person to do it, there will be no good end. The latecomers will have to think carefully when they follow suit." Xu Shu looked at it. Looking at the situation on the school field, he said with a bit of a smile.

Xu Shu also knew that General Ganghe was in turmoil because of the fiefdom, because he was also one of those with turbulent thoughts. In this era, even in the distant future, it was the desire of countless people.

Guan Yu glanced at Xu Shu. Xu Shu himself was a pure and kind person. Even if he was a knight, he had no moral flaws. Naturally, he never thought about murdering others to seize the fiefdom. Even if he was confused, his behavior was always respected by the country. A recognized way to obtain military merit.

"Let's go, it's almost done." Guan Yuyan said concisely.

"Yes, even if I didn't realize it before, now I understand it after watching this scene." Xu Shu said very freely.

Xu Shu still holds a certain beauty in human nature. Even with his wisdom, he actually knows what kind of things these people can do for the sake of the fiefdom and the inheritance of their descendants. But the reason why people are human is not because they have animal nature in their hearts. But it is bound by human nature.

With the appearance of Guan Yu and Xu Shu, the originally noisy school ground quickly became quiet, and Guan Yu didn't care too much about this scene. He just stood on the general standing stage in the school ground, looking at the generals below, as if he wanted to remember again. Live like this group of people.

"Yuan Zhi, go and inform them." Guan Yu gave Xu Shu a look, and Xu Shu nodded, and then walked forward.

"Generals and colonels, you should all be thinking about why all of you have been recruited at this time." Xu Shu stepped forward and faced the generals below as the military advisor of the Ganges Army. Then he said with a faint smile, "I don't think so. There is some speculation.”

When Xu Shu said this, the generals below were obviously in a commotion. Some of the generals were even staring at Xu Shu with hot eyes, waiting for Xu Shu's announcement.

After all, although the matter of enfeoffment has been widely spread, there is still no benchmark and process for canonization. What kind of regulations this enfeoffment is, has not been published.

For these middle-level generals, they only knew that they were going to be entrusted and that it was very likely that they would be entrusted to their level, but the accurate news was not reported.

Now that Xu Shu was standing here, when he spoke, all the generals and commanders who came below had a feeling that there was really going to be an announcement from above.

"Now, everyone standing here, you can pat your chest with confidence. As those of you who have made great achievements on the battlefield, you are qualified to obtain your own fiefdom in the Ganges." Xu Shu did not use voice transmission, but took a deep breath. He shouted loudly in one breath, and the next moment the whole place was silent. Then cheers spread from all directions, and the whole school ground was filled with excitement.

Even though there have been piles and piles of gossip since the beginning of the year, and almost all middle-level generals have actually determined that Ganges is going to be enfeoffed, it will indeed fall on them.

But in the face of such a major event, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of an accident, normal people will inevitably feel uneasy. What's more, no one among the middle-level generals and colonels knows exactly which level they are divided into, and no one can tell clearly. How to divide it up.

In short, before this moment, there was still a lot of uncertainty about everything, but after this moment, most of the uncertainty has been eliminated, and everyone present can share it.

In an instant, all the anxiety and doubts disappeared, and everyone fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Even if they had ambitions before, had the idea of ​​​​expanding their own fiefdoms, and even had ill intentions towards their comrades, at this moment when the pie really fell on their heads, they could no longer think about the future. No matter how to divide it, they cheered first.

"With a title of fifteenth level or above, you will start with a fiefdom of 10,000 square kilometers in the Indus-Ganges plain." Xu Shu took out the big cake and threw it at all the generals present, hitting them fiercely. Above his head, as soon as these words came out, all the generals and commanders present fell into shock. This is too outrageous.

Ten thousand square kilometers may not sound like much to a big country, but considering the topography of the Ganges-Indus Essence Area, it is a very outrageous enfeoffment method.

After all, 10,000 square kilometers of barren mountains and rivers is nothing, but 10,000 kilometers of fertile land is really at the level of being able to live up to expectations, and the Indus-Ganges region has been developed by Kushan This place was truly a sacred place for the generals of the Han Dynasty.

You may not feel it when looking at the map of India in later generations, but some things need to be told by data. The area of ​​India itself is only half of the total area of ​​2 cultivated land.

Its cultivated land area has reached the second-largest level in the world, second only to the United States in later generations. This is only because there is Pakistan on the other side of the Indus River, which has taken away part of the essence of the Indus-Ganges plain, so that the cultivated land area has increased. decline.

In this era, although the Kushan Empire lost the lower reaches of the Ganges River, it occupied the entire Indus River Basin, so the total cultivated land area was even larger than that of later India.

By the way, Pakistan has a land area of ​​only 800,000 square kilometers, but its cultivated land area is a full 300,000 square kilometers.

The cultivated land area of ​​China's middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain is only about 200,000, and China's largest agricultural area, that is, the agricultural areas of the three northeastern provinces combined are only this large.

Using this as a comparison, if we think about India's 1.5 million square kilometers of cultivated land, we can understand why India will still be the world's largest rice exporter in future generations.

In addition to the climate advantages brought by three crops a year, rain and heat at the same time, it also has geographical advantages. From a certain perspective, the Indus-Ganges alluvial plain is indeed a chosen place.

This is why in the early days, Chen Xi tried to develop Jiangnan and other areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but later he sent more than 100,000 agricultural reclamation troops there and put them to waste.

To put it bluntly, no matter how hard Chen Xi worked to reclaim the plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, he could only reclaim more than 200,000 square kilometers of land.

It is true that for feudal society, the climate of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plains, with more than 200,000 square kilometers of fertile soil and two crops a year, was enough to solve the country's food problem.

Taking the situation of the Song Dynasty as an example, the plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were successfully reclaimed, and people could shout out such words as "Su Chang (Lake) is ripe, and the world is sufficient." However, for Chen Xi, who had carefully analyzed the overall situation of the world, when engaging in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, it was still difficult to It’s better to engage in the Ganges.

The Indus-Ganges River, plus the extended Indochina Peninsula, has almost two million square kilometers of available arable land, and it is less difficult to develop than the Yangtze River Basin.

After all, the Brahmins in that corner of India had been cultivating animals for more than a thousand years.

Even if the development level is not as good as that of the five major grain-producing areas in the Han Dynasty due to the level of farming, relying on the local climate and soil quality, planting any kind of field will definitely not be inferior to the existing agricultural highlights of the Han Dynasty, or even There is a high probability that the annual output will be higher.

The only problem is to fight, but before the Han and Tang Dynasties, China was either fighting or on the way to fight. Moreover, China's foreign policy during the Han and Tang Dynasties was basically insulting diplomacy. Such hegemonic behavior was just a matter of nonsense.

After winning the battle, we directly seized a piece of arable land larger than that of China, which was good for farming.

Therefore, if the Ganges side is enfeoffed, say 10,000 square kilometers, that is almost 10,000 square kilometers of cultivated land.

This is different from those remote mountains and remote areas. Cultivated land is still a very precious resource even in future generations, let alone in this day and age. With 10,000 square kilometers of arable land, even if there are not many people on it, each vassal can find a way. developed.

After all, the cultivated land is there, and it is a fiefdom. It does not matter how long it takes. One generation will not get up, but two generations will make this place prosperous again sooner or later. After all, only cultivated land can feed people.

According to the average household size of fifty acres, with the current level of agriculture, one can survive stably on the Ganges River, and can even develop further. Ten thousand square kilometers of cultivated land can support a population of more than 300,000 households. This is What is the level of illness?

How do you say some things? Even if no one teaches you, you will learn it naturally. Just like China’s real estate economy in the past few years, even if no one teaches the relevant theory, most people know that they should buy it and buy it quickly. The sooner the better. good.

Similarly, the water and soil on this side of the Ganges produced these, and Liu Bei's generals did not pay special attention to them, but every general and school was psychologically subordinate to them.

After all, before going abroad, the vast majority of these veterans had farmed. Even if they did not study mathematics properly later, most of them could realize how many people could be supported by these 10,000 square kilometers.

If fertile land that can support a population of 300,000 households, a fifteenth-level title, and the treatment of a prince and king are not inspiring enough, what else is exciting?

As for not being able to recruit so many manpower in a short time, it doesn't matter. Fiefdom can be passed down. I can't do it. My son can't keep up, but my grandson can keep up. Sooner or later, he will be the king of the princes.

When a man is alive, who doesn’t have the dream of being an emperor? Even if he gets older and has been educated by society and has extinguished this idea, when there is such an opportunity!

Breathing became much heavier.

Even without looking at the expressions of the generals below, Xu Shu knew that the enthusiasm of all the generals had been mobilized. It was difficult for the princes. Even for these generals, there was basically no hope, but the fifteenth-level title was for this group of people. It’s not difficult to say.

Because the lowest rank present is already at level 11, and levels 12 and 3 are even more mainstream, so it is actually not far away from becoming a junior.

If there were some other thoughts before, then at this moment, all the generals and commanders who are not yet at level 15 have extinguished other thoughts - to rush to the junior level first, there is nothing more important than reaching the level.

Damn it, China has a large territory and sufficient resources, but it does have problems with its cultivated land area. India is actually outrageous in this regard. Although India is ridiculed a lot on the Internet, India's food self-sufficiency rate has always been maintained at more than 100. India has a larger population than China, so the extra part will be very large in terms of quantity. This is also the key to India's number one rice export in the world. As for China, China's food self-sufficiency rate can only meet demand. Incidentally, this is why Reasons for developing hybrid rice and sea rice
