Chapter 1679: Benefits on the Grassland

No one can avoid things related to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everyone can feel at ease with such a thing. However, the reason why these northern families holding wool are unable to promote wool to the whole world is that there is not enough wool!

Is this a reason? Of course, it is true that there are only a few sheep on the grassland. There are so many people in the Central Plains. It would be strange if the wool produced by two or three million sheep is constantly being fed. Therefore, there will be a family that later scolds the Hu people for not even raising sheep. If they cannot give up the grassland, we want to raise sheep!

Therefore, the grasslands in the north have not yet been built. The grasslands that used to think there was no output at all and had no meaning to occupy them have now been marked by a large group of aristocratic families, raising sheep, producing wool, and eating mutton.

In addition, Jia Xu organized a large group of people to prepare to launch Ma Zheng. To be honest, the situation in the late Han Dynasty was better than in the early Tang Dynasty. At least Ma Zheng on Chen Xi did not have to worry about the turbulent people on the grassland. The Turks were simply brutal in the early Tang Dynasty.

But even so, during the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty had 400,000 war horses and more than one million pack horses. Chen Xi roughly made a charter for Jia Xu to play. It was estimated that all the grasslands were occupied by the current situation, and there was no problem with playing 500,000 war horses and 600,000 war horses.

Of course, when it comes to the horse politics of the Han and Tang Dynasties, we have to mention a dynasty that he killed himself. This dynasty is called the Song Dynasty, and he also played horse politics with the Tang Dynasty. The horse politics system of the Tang Dynasty was very sound. Although the Song Dynasty did not have the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, there were many places where the Central Plains could play horse politics.

Although the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the best choice, it doesn’t matter if they are gone. You can also play in other places. After all, Fusang can play cavalry even if it is one meter tall on its shoulder.

The local horses such as the Hequ Horse, Datong Horse, and Kazakh Horse in the Central Plains, even if they are free-range, the shoulder height will not be less than 1.3 meters. As a result, the Song Dynasty imitated the horse politics of the Tang Dynasty, which made people unable to bear to look at them. Of course, when talking about this, we must admit that the Song Dynasty is really rich!

There is a very famous record in the history of the Song Dynasty, "Raozhou has 562 male, male and female horses, and 305 dead, and 27 horses are formed."

What does this mean? It is actually very simple. I raised 562 high-quality stallions, and 315 died. The remaining 247 stallions were 27, and yes, the breeding rate was less than 5%...

However, even with such a low cultivation rate, the Ma Zheng of the Song Dynasty continued until the demise of the Song Dynasty. By the way, 5% was considered high before. For example, Ma Quangang died of the epidemic in a certain area, which is common. Therefore, the Song Dynasty's lack of cavalry was really a problem with the Song Dynasty.

In short, before the Northern Huns and the Hu people were killed, Chen Xi had already studied the grassland map. Chen Xi had roughly had an estimate in his mind that Chen Xi was not going to give it to the Hu people anyway.

Of course, Chen Xi would not deliberately enclose land in Western Siberia in nine months or even permafrost areas, at most, leave a legend since ancient times.

As for occupation, let’s get it. God has the virtue of living. If you Wu people can survive there, Chen Xi doesn’t mind you staying there forever.

Anyway, let alone this era, even in later generations, there are not many humans who can live at the lowest temperature of minus 70 degrees Celsius all year round, not to mention that there are nine months of winter in that place a year, or even longer. If the Hu people had the ability to live there, Chen Xi could guarantee that as long as they did not make trouble, the Han Dynasty would never beat them.

Of course, although Chen Xi had already planned these things carefully enough, some of them still need to be sent to inspect them on the spot. For example, the limit number of cattle carried by grasslands identified by later generations must be needed now.

By the way, Chen Xi always felt that it was completely unreliable to simply raise cattle and sheep, living by water and grass, and planting grass, and growing grass is the king. As for cattle and sheep, lack of exercise, and not delicious meat, go for nonsense!

In this era of two hundred AD, people who can eat meat lived a very good life. Who cares about these things? War horses cannot lack exercise. After all, in the era of cold weapons, the national strength of any country can be directly equated with the number of elite cavalry.

Therefore, the future plan of the grassland that Chen Xi made basically became the government's pasture. Anyway, this can't be farmed by the enemy, so we should use it to raise animals.

By the way, Chen Xi also thought about it and turned around and took the opportunity to raise funds in the chamber of commerce during this period, tens of millions of dollars and over 100 million dollars, and asked to pick out all the families who beat the dead-end people. Well, the representative figure Cookie donated a huge amount of money and food he had cheated recently.

Although they have bad motives, Chen Xi is looking at behavior. Chen Xi has always been indifferent to the problem of whether he is a good person.

So even if the motivation is bad, because of the efforts of this group of people, they turn around and turn this grassland that no one wants before into a state-owned ranch. They can divide some places to package these aristocratic families, and then take these aristocratic families to play a super-large ranch together.

Although all output countries are definitely lower than the market price, they can provide policy support in other aspects, or financial support can be provided if something unexpected happens.

Anyway, Chen Xi will definitely not give others the opportunity to destroy prices. If you seize the cattle and sheep production area of ​​the Northern Grassland, even if you subcontract it, you will definitely not let these bastards enter the market to make trouble. In Chen Xi's view, these things must be uniformly regulated by the government.

At this level, Chen Xi has to try some new ways of playing, such as turning some aristocratic families into units under the government. Of course, if something happens to such units, it is their own people. If something happens, they will kick them directly. This department is all temporary departments.

In short, after the battle between Yuan and Liu, Chen Xi settled for a while and found many ways to play.

Administrative intervention, policy support and subsidies, monopoly, entry thresholds, regional separation protection, price protection, closed loans, etc. Chen Xi turned around and looked at many things he had learned and had no chance to use, and found that there were actually too many things he could play.

There are so many things that can be played, and there is a supporting dynasty that can be called the largest empire on earth. It is a shame not to play all the things that can be played. Anyway, the root of the natural economy is growing here, even if it collapses, there will be no trouble.

After roughly determining the cards in his hand, Chen Xi basically determined what he would do in the next few years, social change, etc., take it slowly. When Chen Xi figured it out, he understood that he should not be anxious, anyway, he could not take too much steps.

"Sweater? I'll have 80,000 sets." Xun Yu raised his eyebrows and said. He had contacted this thing, which was very warm and light in itself. However, the more flawed thing is that even Cao Cao purchased it, he could not buy tens of thousands of pieces.

It’s not that I can’t even make tens of thousands of sweaters every year, but it’s just that Cao Cao was short of money before, and now sweaters are easy to sell. I can get cash in an instant when I send them back to the Chamber of Commerce. Why do I need to sell them on credit?

"Uh, this amount is a bit too much, I'll give you some cotton coats." Chen Xi scratched his head. Xun Yu was really not polite. He just asked casually. He said that there should be no such a big gap. You must know that even if Zhou Yu brought winter clothes like the one who went north, Xun Yu would not forget it.

"If I don't charge money, I'll also want 50,000 yuan." Zhou Yu said to Chen Xi.

"Hey, hey, don't overdo it. You charge your cost price. Forget it. I won't bother with you because I'm serving the country." Chen Xi said angrily, "Kong Ming, when will the supplies sent to Youzhou Shanggu will arrive at the official road?"

"The lord came first, and now the batch of supplies has arrived." Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "It should be delivered one day. After all, there is no official road after leaving the Great Wall. It will take a lot of time for Mi Changshi to come."

"Hey, you didn't refuse this kind of thing that we are obviously blackmailing you. There would be no pitfalls to let us jump." Zhou Yu's words were nonsense, but he didn't expect Chen Xi didn't refuse.

"Do you want to love?" Chen Xi said angrily, "I will support you just because everyone is on the same front," then turned around and asked Guo Jia, who had run out and then ran back with Lu Xun, and said, "What should I eat in the morning? Salted fish tofu soup?"

Chen Xi's words turned very quickly, so that Zhou Yu and Xun Yu didn't know how to continue the conversation. They didn't even talk about serious matters, but they just pulled them to the meal.

"Sweet osmanthus tofu brain." Guo Jia gave Lu Xun a look, and immediately Lu Xun spoke. Lu Xun was sent by Liu Bei to ask these advisers who stayed asleep and played the battle flag deduction for breakfast.

"Eat so early?" Cheng Yu said in confusion. As Cheng Yu, who had two meals during the day and some midnight pastry at night, he could not understand that he had dinner just dawn in the morning.

"Prepare it here, what should I eat for lunch?" Chen Xi asked again.

"Buns with salted fish soup and fish meat mixed with beef." Lu Xun replied.

"Oh, okay, I'll give you one here. We might as well have to talk. By the way, I'll send someone to the rear to contact us and send 80,000 sweaters and 50,000 cotton coats." Chen Xi patted Lu Xun's head and said, "This is my apprentice, how good is it."

Lu Xun was a little erratic in his character educated by Chen Xi, but he was smart and thoughtfully very rigorous, so after Chen Xi spoke, he formally saluted everyone.

"Yes, I've already experienced a fluctuation of spiritual talent, but it's not the time yet." Zhou Yu was the first to speak.

"It's indeed a good talent and beautiful jade." Xun Yu stared at him for a long time before speaking.

"Boyan, you go first." Chen Xi was very satisfied with Zhou Yu and Xun Yu's evaluation, while Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang looked solemn. Lu Xun actually came to this point. If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Xun would probably voluntarily awaken his talent at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

After sending Lu Xun away, Chen Xi once again brought back the original topic, "If you don't want it, then forget it, it's worth millions of dollars anyway."

"Zichuan, do you really want to give them two?" Liu Ye said to Chen Xi. There were more than 100,000 winter clothes, but dozens of cars, just giving them to the other party. Liu Ye felt a little distressed. Although Chen Xi was in a frenzy, tens of millions of dollars would be gone.

"How can I let them know that this thing is better than linen? There are fewer things in the past two years. In two years, it will take less than two years. Next year, wool and cotton will be available for some places." Chen Xi sent a message to Liu Ye, "Prepare in advance, saying it is a few million yuan, but the cost is less than one million yuan. Just invest when opening the market in advance."

"The problem is that if you open the market like this, we won't do business. Then the Chamber of Commerce will still be cheaper." Liu Ye continued to send a message to Chen Xi and said.

"Oh, let's collect taxes. When people in Jiangdong go back, they will definitely come to buy them. Besides, if the transaction volume is large, the tax will be high. If I have money, I can let them move, which will make it easier for them to carry out construction. There are too many places to build in the future, so I'd better prepare early." Chen Xi was helpless. He was so powerful that he was not good at all, but when he started infrastructure construction, he would lose money.

"Forget it, it's useless to tell you this. It's not bad to let Xun Yu raise sheep and Zhou Yu raise horses in South China. Do you think so?" Chen Xi sent a message to Liu Ye and said jokingly.

Cao Cao was short of money. Although he had a money house, even if Cao Cao was stupid, he would not have no money to make money. Therefore, after confirming that wool was profitable, Cao Cao, who was not short of war horses, would definitely raise sheep on the grassland. Turns back, Chen Xi collected the wool, sold wool, and asked Cao Cao to textile and knit.

In this way, after the Battle of the North, there will be a stage of dividing the spoils no matter what. Although the three parties will have a battle sooner or later, at least at this time, Chen Xi is not ready to accept the entire Central Plains.

Well, in fact, Chen Xi is not ready to achieve balanced development in all regions after fully occupying the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty. Although it is possible to say that wealth first leads to wealth later, it is a bit bad, but the southeast reaches the level of developed countries, the central part reaches the level of developing countries, and the west is just underdeveloped and other things.

To be honest, this is also one of the biggest drawbacks of a vast country. If it really happens to be that way, I'm afraid Chen Xi will not be able to step down.

So Chen Xi would rather seek stability than speed on this. Anyway, there is a solution now. Although it is impossible to level it up, it can be relatively fair.

Since Chen Xi is not going to take action next year, he will definitely not be able to turn against the Huns after fighting. Furthermore, it means that the spoils must be divided.

Chen Xi can guarantee that Liu Bei can get the biggest part with his strength, but although Sun Ce, who is in the southeast, will not do much in this battle, but if he really doesn't get anything, it will definitely not be possible.

So when Chen Xi saw Zhou Yu, he thought about this aspect, and finally thought about it and got a plan for raising horses in the south.

By the way, this plan is not nonsense, but a plan with real execution capabilities. The Jianghuai and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River can actually raise horses, and Wuling County in the southwest of Jingzhou can also raise horses, and there are considerable records in history.
