"If Zichu takes half of the blame, what about the other parts?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.
"Of the remaining half, most of it is mine." Chen Xi said nonchalantly. Whatever he could explain, or even what he needed to explain, there was no need for anything else, it was his fault.
"You guy, your in-depth understanding of certain issues is really boring." Liu Bei glanced at Chen Xi and said, and Chen Xi rolled his eyes.
"Forget it, you'll find out when you get there. Although I think that except for Liu Zichu and my pot, others probably haven't realized the essence of that complex at most." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "I haven't gone to see it yet.
, you can’t say it so fully.”
"Speaking of which, don't you think the north is very desolate?" Liu Bei opened the car window and looked at the rapidly receding wilderness on both sides of the road. It was really deserted.
"I don't have any good solutions for this. The current total population of the Han Dynasty, including the foreign races that have been incorporated into it, and the aristocratic families in Central Asia, is only over 60 million, but the territory we occupy far exceeds this
Scale." Chen Xi sighed and said.
Thirty million square kilometers and a population of 60 million. Even based on the most basic average method, you can see how sparse this population is.
"In addition, after the villages were merged into villages, most of them relied on villages to build elite areas. The original way of ten or twenty households scattered across the land has disappeared in the Central Plains." Chen Xi looked at the vast wilderness outside the window.
There is desolation within the visible range.
From the geographical environment of Yongliang, although there are many places suitable for farming, most of them are not very suitable for human habitation.
Naturally, when Chen Xi moved, most of the people moved to places that were convenient for survival and construction.
This is why San Sha took Guishan's Buddhist scriptures and read them, and felt that if there was reincarnation, the three of them could enter the Asura Road.
There are literally millions of people alive.
Therefore, Li Jue also felt that he was a very good and very evil person. To be honest, these three brothers never denied that they were evil people.
The places Chen Xi chooses to gather villages and merge villages are always flat and easy to survive. Even if there is a natural disaster, it is easy to treat it and to add any public construction in the future.
The place in Yongzhou that meets these attributes is the place where Li Jue and others gathered millions of people and tried their best to clear the area in the early years. Although there are some suitable places to live in the north, most of the people in Yongliang live in Guanzhong.
area.
This also led to the fact that when Chen Xi later took over Chang'an and merged villages with villages, he mostly followed the Liufu Canal and Zhengguo Canal to merge villages.
This is conducive to people's livelihood and future development, but the disadvantage is what Liu Bei has seen now. After leaving the Chang'an radiation zone and passing the bustling area, it is all wasteland.
"Then is this place so deserted?" Liu Bei asked, looking at the vast wilderness.
"No, in one generation at most, new villages will appear here just like the Guanzhong Road. But then we need to calculate the carrying capacity of the wilderness." Chen Xi said casually, planning for the next twenty years.
, Chen Xi basically knew everything.
Even though he didn't make too detailed a plan and design, Chen Xi felt something about it when his eyes fell on this wasteland.
"The carrying capacity of the wilderness?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in confusion and asked, what is this word?
"Ah, you don't need to consider this. In fact, this is just a saying. Maybe the people will not like the land here so much, but like the land over Yanzhou." Chen Xi said with a smile.
It is meaningless to talk about land carrying capacity and soil erosion with Liu Bei. It is better to simply say that the quality of the land here is not good enough. When the time comes, people will not want to come here. Wouldn't it be better to go to other places that are fallow every two years?
?
As for the problem of people leaving their hometown and becoming low-income people, Chen Xi's move is a group of people moving at once, so there will be no such problem at all.
Besides, Yongliang has been a place where strong armies have frequently appeared since ancient times. When the next generation separates and moves to other places, if there is a conflict, the other party may be unlucky.
Liu Bei was stunned for a while when he heard this answer, and then nodded silently. After all, he had also farmed, so he naturally knew where the land was good and where the land was bad. Land like this in the north of Yongzhou was indeed considered worthy in the past.
It’s time to get up from Zhongtian.
But now that the Han Dynasty was large enough, Chen Xi had pried out the major families, and the people of the Central Plains were now qualified to farm selectively like some countries in later generations.
"Yes, if they have a choice, they will definitely not want to come here. Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou all have a lot of vacant land." Liu Bei nodded and said.
In addition to making it easier to manage, the merging of villages is also to make it easier for military camps. Putting the common people's villages aside, the state-owned land can be connected into one piece. At that time, whether it is cultivating, sowing, harvesting or storing
It can save a lot of trouble.
In addition, Chen Xi rushed to the possible mechanization early in the morning, which can be regarded as preparation for the technology that may be developed in the future.
"Realistically speaking, this is all a population problem, and it will take twenty years to solve this problem anyway." Chen Xi said expressionlessly, there is really no solution to this matter.
In order to increase the population, Chen Xi invested a lot of money in medical and health care, and he has focused on medical and health care since the first five-year plan. But doctors are not grass. What you plant this year will be harvested next year. The training of doctors, especially
It's traditional Chinese medicine, and it takes five to seven years to get started.
Logically speaking, the reasonable ratio of doctors to civilians should be about two thousandths. The question is where can Chen Xi get around 100,000 doctors.
In fact, for now, let alone one hundred thousand doctors, even if there are ten thousand doctors, Chen Xi doesn't have them. How many doctors were there in 195? Chen Xi is currently struggling to give the number of doctors five times higher, and in 195 the Central Plains can really
The total number of people who are considered doctors is less than 500. Multiply that by five, and you can't solve the problem now.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi caught Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing and struggled for five years before releasing them. In these five years, these two people have been engaged in Chinese patent medicines. The prescriptions are very simple, the materials are easy to find, and the prices are high.
It is extremely cheap and is mainly used to treat common illnesses.
It is unrealistic to train doctors. It will take twenty to thirty years of accumulation to barely build up a usable scale. Even if Chen Xi is willing to invest enough time and energy and huge funds into it, the people cannot wait.
So Chen Xi chose to be opportunistic. Just like Huanghao decoction killed typhoid fever, we can also develop some medicines that mainly deal with common diseases.
Then Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing have mainly focused on common diseases in the past five years, developing Chinese patent medicines that can be promoted throughout the map. By this year, they have basically solved most of them. The remaining parts are really impossible to solve, or they are easily combined with other diseases.
Confused, there is no way to solve it directly, or the price of targeted medicine is a bit too much.
Chen Xi's request is that the price of these medicines should not exceed ten cents. It would be better if they could be priced at one cent. Of course, if I could directly draw a picture for you like Huanghao Tang, and then go look for it yourself.
, once you come back and cook it, it will be even more perfect.
But this is unrealistic. If any kind of disease that can be called a universal disease is killed in this way, then the person who created this targeted medicine can be canonized.
Therefore, most of the finished products produced in the end cost a few pennies, and the effects are pretty good.
"In short, many problems are not solved in one link, and then all the problems are solved. Instead, they are solved in one link, which is just a step forward. There is still a long way to go before the overall solution." Chen Xi said indifferently, after all these years,
, Chen Xi is also used to it.
"Now that the people live and work in peace and contentment, the population will increase rapidly." Liu Bei said with a smile.
Chen Xi curled his lips, everyone said so, but the problem is that we are short of people now. There are less than two people per square kilometer. Even if we don’t count those not so good places, can we have ten people per square kilometer?
is the problem.
"Forget it, let's stop talking nonsense. This is one of the very few things that I can't do anything about. It has its own internal laws. We can only speed up this law, but it is impossible to completely change it. Moreover, this kind of thing
The acceleration is also very limited." Chen Xi spread his hands and looked helpless. This is the reality.
"But no matter whether there are people or not, your road is always so smooth." Liu Bei looked at this county road with a smile. Along the way, Liu Bei hardly saw a few people on it, but this road was still very well built.
flat.
"Whether there are people or not is a social problem, whether to repair it or not is a government problem. I can't solve the former, but I have to solve the latter." Chen Xi looked out the window and said, "After all, the existence of this road is also very meaningful.
Now there is no one. That’s because of the summer. You’ll know when you come and see it in the winter.”
The climate at the end of the Han Dynasty was a bit close to the Little Ice Age, which was very different from that of later generations. However, even in later generations, the Yellow River would still freeze in winter.
Therefore, it is not very realistic to continue walking along the Yellow River in winter, but will the transportation of materials stop in winter? With Chang'an's population of one million, the materials needed are very huge, and the materials that should be transported still need to be transported.
Naturally, land transportation was a very important method at that time, and this road was an important transportation line for land transportation between Northern Xinjiang and Chang'an in winter. Of course, in summer, this road is really not very easy to travel. When water transportation is available, water transportation is usually chosen.
It's easy to transport and has a large transport capacity.
