Chapter 1,744: Giving criminal gangs a way to make a living
"Be careful not to play with fire," Jia Xu warned.
"Oh, don't worry, I will subscribe these funds to the aristocratic families on our side when the time comes. Let's see whether Cao Cao and Sun Ce are so powerful that they can convince all the aristocratic families under their command, or am I the one who can force them to do so?
Cao Cao and Sun Ce paid." Chen Xi sent the message to Jia Xu with a smile.
Jia Xu looked thoughtful, and then couldn't help but deduce, and finally found that it was almost inevitable that Cao Cao and Sun Ce would be defeated in the war between Cao Cao and Sun Ce, but whether Cao Cao and Sun Ce chose to kill the group of aristocratic families under their rule and then bow their heads, or directly bow their heads and become
Not too sure.
"Fengxiao..." Jia Xu sent a message to Guo Jia and told Guo Jia everything Chen Xi said, "What do you think you will do?"
"Sun Bofu is stubborn and may be cruel, but Cao Mengde is more mature and may choose to admit defeat directly." Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "I'm not sure, mainly because Zichuan's thoughts are sometimes completely petty.
Child, you have no way of figuring it out."
"Zichuan is probably too lazy to argue with them." Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi and sent a message to Guo Jia, but what he said was not very confident.
"Not necessarily." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It depends on Zichuan's mood at that time. If he is in a good mood, it will probably be good for you and me and everyone will be good. If he is not in a good mood that day, just give Cao Sun a list and both parties will be happy.
It hit it off right away.”
Jia Xu couldn't help but be silent after hearing this. Thinking about Chen Xi's habit of doing things, he suddenly realized that this was not possible, but very possible. If he was in a bad mood, he would probably do this, but if he was in a good mood, it would probably not happen to the major families.
Looking at Chen Xi talking eloquently above, Jia Xu felt a little sad. Is it reliable for major aristocratic families to find such a leader? Although the IQ is indeed in place, this way of doing things is indeed a bit too deceiving.
.
After that, Chen Xi started to explain, and he talked for almost a day. Everyone listened and took notes, basically covering all aspects of the outline. Anyway, by the end of it, Chen Xi was already speechless and didn’t want to talk anymore, but many things were still there.
Keep thinking about it.
"Ah, it's over, let's do it." Chen Xi's mouth went dry as he talked about it, and he finally decided not to talk about it. It was too annoying. There are many things that can be dug deeply, but digging too deep is not suitable for the first time.
Society has reformed.
You must know that for the first social reform, Chen Xi even revised the plan. His original plan even included an economic integration relying on the upper class, but now Chen Xi has canceled it first.
There is no way that some things are not appropriate now. Although they are of great significance, the time has not yet come, so they must be hidden first. Chen Xi hates this method, but he has to do it for the sake of the future.
"Hey, hey, hey, Zichuan, you're only halfway through." Xun Yu scolded, listening happily. Although some of Chen Xi's remarks were a bit extreme, the overall context was very clear, but you were stuck in the middle, tell me it's over, you
What do you want to do?
"You said this several times." Chen Xi said angrily to Xun Yu.
"But, you only told half of it." Xun Yu was also quite angry. He hated people telling half of things. Moreover, Chen Xi's speech was very detailed and in-depth, which was very beneficial to governing the world. Everyone who listened was
Seriously, you want to run away now!
"You will get beaten up like this." Chen Xi was furious. He thought it was almost done several times, but Xun Yu jumped out and said that he was only halfway through. Xun Yu had said this several times.
Xun Yu turned his head and looked at all the civil servants behind him, and then looked at Chen Xi, "Who dares to hit me? And I think you will be the one to be beaten if you don't finish speaking."
"The question is why every time I want to finish, you say I'm only halfway through." Chen Xi said angrily. He was really afraid of being beaten. He had crushed this group of people today. If he didn't satisfy them, he would be beaten.
The possibility is very high.
"Zichuan, in fact, after you don't want to talk about it, what you sit down and talk about again will be different from what you talked about before. Do you know?" Chen Qun said with a wry smile, "Have you noticed that your core theories have been changed?
Several."
This is also the reason why the people below listened in silence, because after Chen Xi made a fuss, there was a deviation from what he said before, and this kind of deviation is of that kind. The result looks the same, but the internal core has been changed. The problem lies in this deduction.
There is still no problem getting up.
Chen Xi thought about what he had said before, looked up at the ceiling of the tent, and took a while to recall everything he had said.
"Oh, it seems true. I'm just bored, but that's not important. You can make up for it later. I'll run away first." After Chen Xi said that, he ran away. He sounded tired and didn't want to go anymore.
Having said that, it is enough to do the work.
"Hey..." Chen Xi had already run away before Xun Yu and others could react.
"Is this how he works at your place?" Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia with a dark face and asked, "You don't care?"
"Although we don't want this to be the case." Guo Jia also looked helpless, "But generally speaking, he is the immediate boss, but there are not many cases like this where he runs away for fun. Thinking about it, it has really reached the limit."
The civil servants of Cao Cao and Sun Ce felt a little calmer after hearing this. At least there is a limit. Although this limit is desperate enough, there is a limit at least.
"But it's not that his ability has reached the limit, it's that he doesn't want to do it. It's difficult for Zichuan to do one thing for a long time. It's very difficult for him to stay quietly in one place and do one thing. I can say that it's been a day today.
Forget it, it’s rare.” Guo Jia saw the wide eyes of others and suddenly said.
Guys like Xun Yu, who had already made predictions, did not change their expressions after hearing this, and the others were somewhat moved. After all, if the previous performance was to the limit, it would have been scary enough, but if it was just the inability to sit still, it would be very scary.
.
At this moment, Chen Xi suddenly ran back from outside. Suddenly, a group of people looked at Chen Xi with strange expressions.
"Zichuan, have you decided what to say again?" Xun Yu coughed twice, then looked at Chen Xi and asked,
"I won't talk to you even if I kill you. I'm almost exhausted. Aren't you tired after sitting all day?" Chen Xi curled his lips and asked.
"Not tired." Xun Yu said without hesitation.
"I'm very tired." Chen Xi said with a smile. Anyway, he didn't want to talk anymore.
"Since you were tired and ran away, why did you come back?" Zhou Yu said curiously, "Shouldn't you go out for a walk?"
"Oh, there is an important thing I forgot to mention. I was so troubled by you before that I completely forgot about it. I only remembered it when I went out and saw someone digging the soil." Chen Xi's face straightened, and he no longer smiled playfully.
Seeing Chen Xi's solemnity, all the civil servants stopped mentioning the previous matter.
"What's going on?" Xun Yu asked.
"It's like this. I need you to capture all the mountain-moving Taoists and Xiling warriors under your rule and bring them to my side. I will be useful." Chen Xi said to a group of civil servants.
"Tomb robbers?"
.”
"There's no problem with me here. I can send them all over when I turn around." Zhou Yu said calmly. The government wants to punish the mere tomb robbers. This is an era without human rights. It won't take too much time to catch them all.
"Oh, thank you very much. By the way, Wen He, go back and catch all the tomb robbers here. I'll be useful." Chen Xi said to Jia Xu.
"A tomb robber?" Jia Xu thought silently for a moment, then nodded.
In fact, Chen Xi wanted to catch the tomb robbers more than once or twice, but he never had the time. This time he thought about it and quickly put it on the agenda. Chen Xi planned to give these guys a background.
Compared with the craft of tomb robbing, the civil engineering work underneath is much simpler than tomb robbing. After all, Chen Xi has wanted to build sewers more than once or twice.
After all, most cities in this era do not have this thing. Of course, Chang'an does. As the capital, it is still particular about this aspect. However, among all the cities in the Central Plains, there are probably only a dozen or so cities with sewers, and two of them are
Newly created.
And if there is no sewer, no matter how you improve sanitation, it will be nonsense. Why did the emperor have to pave the roads with loess and sprinkle the streets with clean water? To put it bluntly, it saves nausea.
At present, the city has been built, and there are only two options for building sewers. One is to dig directly into the city, dig out the pits inside, and then backfill it again.
The amount of this project is almost equivalent to demolishing the entire city. Chen Xi thought about it. It would be better to do this once when Fa Zheng was the Prime Minister of Qi. He leveled the old city of Linzi and built a new one on the side. It was done in one step, let alone
Sewers and underground warehouses have been built.
However, Chen Xi calculated the money spent and decisively abandoned it. Counting the large cities in the Central Plains alone, there were more than two hundred. It would be really nice to rebuild them. When building a new city, you can do whatever you want, but one
When it comes to rebuilding an ordinary city, not to mention manpower, the amount of cash spent alone is upwards of one billion yuan.
In short, there is no money, so this matter can only be scrapped. Comprehensive reconstruction will take five to six years, plus 400 to 500 billion yuan, and use more than 10 million people.
Give up decisively, this is not how you spend your money. Except for Jingxiang, Luoyang and a few cities that are worth spending so much effort to transform in the future, Chen Xi will not do anything else to kill him.
However, sanitation must be maintained. The constant flow of sewage in the city is quite bad. It only affects the senses. It also spreads diseases all the time. Not to mention the cost of treatment, it also delays Chen Xi's use of manpower, and also extends the useful life of manpower.
shorten.
Therefore, sanitation is imperative. Sewers, public bathhouses, toilets, etc. must be built. However, the city cannot be demolished, and the main roads cannot be demolished and rebuilt. Chen Xi can think of few ways.
The best way to choose among those methods is underground construction. This is a very difficult project. After all, not all cities are in the north, and unlike battlefields, all cities in ancient times had water sources next to them.
If it doesn't work well, water will be dug out and it will collapse.
Therefore, Chen Xi needs professionals, and in this era, those who can be called professionals in this area are tomb robbers.
When they first attacked Yuzhou, a group of tomb robbers dug a temporary passage in a few days, and it was in a place with a lot of water networks, so Chen Xi felt that if this group of professionals, professional tools, and professional financial support were given
, it should be very easy to dig sewers for each city.
Of course it's not easy, and they have to dig. Anyway, if they screw up, they will be unlucky if they die. Anyway, to a certain extent, tomb robbers in this era will definitely be the target of ashes if they are caught.
For example, if you die in an accident while digging an underground tunnel, Chen Xi will definitely not feel any guilt. If you die, you can only say that you deserve it. If you don't die, it means that God will not accept you, so dig a hole well, be good.
To atone for your sins, if your sins do not lead to death, then work quickly.
In short, Chen Xi needs a large number of tomb robbers. According to the current situation in the Central Plains, Chen Xi needs at least 50,000 tomb robbers to be able to barely repair the sewers of major cities in five years. I just don't know if there are so many tomb robbers in the Central Plains now.
If ordinary people were asked to do this, Chen Xi really couldn't do it. After all, on the one hand, he couldn't bear it, and on the other hand, most people couldn't do it.
In a semi-arid area like the north of Youzhou, it is okay for you to dig underground tunnels. In the Central Plains, if you make the wrong dig, water will seep in. Just think about how many people had to be relocated due to water seepage during the excavation of the imperial tombs.
I know how pitiful this thing is.
What's more, there is a city above. If you dig and seep water, it doesn't matter if you die. If the top collapses, it will be completely ruined, so this kind of thing must be done by professionals, but Chen Xi estimates that even professional tomb robbers, these two
With more than a hundred cities built, there may be landslides several times. Don’t you see how many professionals there are in the imperial mausoleum, won’t landslides occur too?
"By the way, please help find some professionals who understand underground soil work." Chen Xi continued to warn, but the three of them didn't pay attention and nodded.
"Well, do you know the direct descendants of the Xiangdi family, Kanyu family, and Yinyang family?" Chen Xi asked.
"These three families are now very rare. Those who purely inherit these three families have not been seen for many years." Chen Qun said, "But Lelang County should have heirs to the Kanyu family, and Nanyang's Xu family should have heirs.
Those who have inherited the Yin-Yang family, and those who inherit the Kanyu branch Xiangdi..."
Chen Qun's voice stopped, as if he was thinking, but Chen Xi listened to Chen Qun's voice transmission, "The Xiangdi family was wiped out. They had mineral resources distributed throughout China's mountains, rivers, and the Chen family took advantage of the last time.
In troubled times, they were killed, and the scrolls were kept in the family."
"You should talk to Wei Shuo about this kind of thing. He has friends all over the world." Jia Xu turned to Chen Xi and said. (To be continued.)
