"You guys, don't always think about having a great time. Don't you know why I voted for Duke Xuande?" Chen Xi said angrily, "You have understood the logic at least ten times."
"The problem is that what I learned from other places is not as exciting as what I said myself." Zhou Yu said with a smile. Anyway, people who watch the excitement are not afraid of big troubles.
"Okay, there is actually no difference between the rumors you know and the true version." Chen Xi said angrily.
Hearing this, Liu Bei clearly saw that Cao Cao, who was drinking with him, paused for a moment, and couldn't help but snicker, "It's so exciting, it's so exciting, Chen Xi went for you, Cao Cao, but you, Cao Cao, ran away first, hahaha, what?"
It's called Manifest Destiny, that's it.
"This is meaningless." Xun Yu sighed and said. After getting the accurate facts from Chen Xi, Xun Yu didn't even need to look at Cao Cao's expression to know how troubled Cao Cao was. Ever since this rumor appeared,
Cao Cao became very upset. Now it is certain that it is probably not something that can be described in two simple words.
"Oh, there's no point in this. After all, what you should know has been known for a long time. It's just talking about other aspects. Why don't you say something?" Zhou Yu waved his hand and said with an amused smile, "I've said it all,
You can not say this, you can say other things.
"If there is anything unhappy, tell us to make us happy." Sima Lang also followed Zhou Yu's steps and teased Chen Xi.
After all, Sima Lang can be regarded as Chen Xi's distant cousin, and he is the kind of person who talks very interestingly, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. However, I always feel that he has been a little too romantic recently. As expected, he is almost unified. Without the pressure, he is just a waver.
.
"You're still not my old cousin. Have you ever done this? It's no use after all." Chen Xi pretended to be extremely angry and said to Sima Lang, but seeing that he couldn't escape, Chen Xi
His eyes slipped, and he said to Sima Lang, "I said it, and you say it too."
"Just say it." Sima Lang said majesticly, "I am not good at anything else, but I am still very good at speaking. Come on, you say it first, and I will say it later. There is no need to organize the words."
Chen Xi couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this, "Oh, I regret not saying a word back then. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty. Now make up for it, you guys, it's incredible!"
Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi speechlessly, "You are still young now. From beginning to end, you are not even thirty years old. Change it to something else, change it to something else."
"Tell me something more interesting, it's like this." Chen Xi also felt that this sentence could not fool these bastards. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then decisively pointed at Zhou Yu, "I just had something like this happen here. You can think about it for yourselves.
I’m thinking about it, because it’s related to the future.”
"Tell me and listen." Xun Yu said with a smile. Although Chen Xi had a playful smile, his words and suggestions still need to be listened to.
"It's like this. Zhou Gongjin just came to me to talk about the issue of the Kushan Navy..." After Chen Xi talked about it, everyone frowned. The opponent is a bit strong, and the feelings for the opponent's army are just auxiliary.
The navy is the main force.
Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this and didn't say anything. He told the truth, so he didn't mind Chen Xi showing it out. Everyone is qualified to listen, but if Chen Xi wants to escape like this,
That's really overthinking.
"Haha, after talking so much, it finally came down to money. Gongjin, how much money do you think it will take to get it done?" Chen Xi crossed his arms and said with a malicious look.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but frowned when he saw the malice on Chen Xi's face, and then naturally doubled the amount in his heart. Jia Xu and Li You couldn't stand it any longer. Lu Su kept giving Zhou Yu direction hints, and even
They all took out a hand and shook it.
"About two billion dollars a year." Zhou Yu just didn't understand what Lu Su meant by waving his hand. A subsidy of 500 million dollars? It seems to be quite a lot. After all, there are military expenses.
Li You and Jia Xu both sighed after hearing this, and then Li You said, "Zichuan, let me speak, otherwise it will be difficult for Gong Jin to step down."
"What's wrong?" Xun Yu frowned and said.
"According to Zichuan's estimate, in the first year after unification, the overall tax revenue of the Han Dynasty, excluding industries such as horse farms, fisheries, agricultural and pastoral areas, and mines, could reach 50 billion to 60 billion yuan. You can calculate military expenditures yourself.
." Li You said with a sigh, "Reality restricts your imagination."
"So I plan to go back and unify. When I am the minister, I will allocate 2 billion to Gong Jin, and then use the rest to subsidize other military units." Chen Xi laughed.
Zhou Yu almost burst into flames. I took the lead and threatened Chen Xi, saying that he was not authentic, and then bought genuine goods. Wasn’t it just to defraud more military expenses in the future? In the end, I didn’t get the real thing.
It has also been reduced!
Zhou Yu choked and blushed. He didn't know how to answer the question. The result of his early planning was actually due to limited vision. With such a result, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that he didn't want to talk.
[In the future, it is better to assign some people to the central government. Chen Zichuan is still good at things like money, grain and taxation.] Zhou Yu couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhao and felt that it was better to keep Zhang Zhao in the central government. Otherwise, in such a situation, Zhou Yu estimated that his lungs would
It's going to explode.
[It seems that if I stay in the central government for a few years, I will at least be able to grasp the general situation of Zichuan's administration, so that the other party can dismiss us casually, and we will still be grateful.] Xun Yu was thoughtful while holding the wine bottle.
Some wandering thoughts were settled directly.
"Can the Han Empire really have so much money and food?" Cao Cao clicked his tongue. If this kind of money and food were told by other people, Cao Cao would not believe it at all, but if it was said from Chen Xi's mouth, it would be true.
fact.
"It will only be more, not less, but there is no point in talking about this now. We will talk about it later." Chen Xi waved his hands and did not want to go into details. After all, after unification, it is the real beginning. Many industries need to be changed and developed.
It also had to be developed.
"There is no need to doubt Zichuan's ability in government affairs. At least there are only this many people under my rule." Liu Bei said, holding out four fingers.
"Uh, then why are there less than half the number after unification?" Cao Cao was stunned at first, and then said in confusion.
"In the first year, a lot of things need to be demolished, and a lot of industries need to be rearranged. We also need to invest money in other places to merge villages. After doing this, we can grow so much in the first year. I have already
It's amazing." Chen Xi said flatly, then turned his head and said, "Old Biao, I have said what I should say, now it's your turn."
"Me, actually I don't have too many ideas. When I traveled around the world, I was stalked by my second brother, and later I turned to Mr. Cao. Actually, it was because I had a better compatibility with Mr. Cao." Sima Lang didn't even put down his wine glass, smiling lightly.
He said, look, my resume is just that simple.
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to raise a toast to Zhuge Jin. The two of them once met each other by chance, and they had a feeling of being close friends. However, they later found out that the other person was actually the same person as him, and in an instant they became further and further crossed.
.
Zhuge Jin also smiled. The two of them were young and conceited about their talents at first, but eventually they met an opponent with similar attributes to himself. After they found out, they naturally grew tired of each other.
But now, having experienced a lot, everything has dissipated into the smoke and dust of the past, and I can’t help but smile when I think about it again.
"What do you think now?" Chen Xi asked with a smile. The legitimate son of the Sima family was sold by the Sima family. He said that he was sold as well, but it doesn't seem to count.
"I used to think that the relationship between my family and me was like this - I am the backbone of the family, and the family is my backer. Now I find that the relationship between my family and me is about selling and being sold, taking the blame and taking the blame.
There is nothing more difficult in life than this." Sima Lang seemed to instantly understand what Chen Xi wanted to say, with an expression of bitterness and hatred.
The whole room burst into laughter. Sima Lang's tragic tone made everyone present laugh wildly. Which of the civil servants here truly relied on their family, and who could not walk a bright road just by relying on their own intelligence and ability.
Zhou Yu's arrogant words before were not completely nonsense. With their ability, it is not too difficult to rebuild a family in this troubled world.
It's just that the strength of the family is not simply strength, but also its survivability and ability to continue. Although they can build ten times the family business, if they don't rely on the family, it is unclear whether these foundations can be continued a hundred years later.
That's the problem, that's the difference.
"Speaking of which, most of the civil servants came from aristocratic families, while most of the generals seemed to be powerful landowners from various places." Jia Kui said thoughtfully, looked at the people around him and spoke slowly.
"There is no way around this. Knowledge requires accumulation and inheritance, but talent and hard work in terms of bravery are more important. The former is limited by classics and has no way to be popularized before. The latter, in this world, people with extraordinary talents cannot do it.
"Young man, there are many people who can find a way out by relying on their talent, talent and hard work without any pretense." Chen Xi slowly took over the conversation and said.
"Civil and military officials, it seems that Zichuan is planning to completely divide the civil servants and military generals. You should also make some mental preparations and think a few things in advance." Liu Bei suddenly said.
"It is impossible for this generation. We can only divide them as much as possible in the future. However, I am not impatient and will take my time. So for you guys like Governor Zhou, don't worry. I can't beat you anyway."
Chen Xi yawned and said, "I always think it's boring for us to eat and drink like this, and we don't really want to talk about business, well..."
When Li You and Jia Xu heard this, they both lowered their heads and sneered. Wrong rhythm? No, no, no, it's because the personal grudges have not been brought to light and the conflicts have not been resolved.
