Chapter 4177 The plan cannot keep up with the changes
Whether the Han Dynasty can gather three people like Zhong Yao who don't do anything to run the operation here is a question. To be honest, if Zhong Yao doesn't have some problems himself, and he doesn't pay much attention to government affairs, Zhong Yao will
The most suitable position for such a giant is to fish in Chang'an with Chen Xi.
Although Zhong Yao behaves like a middle-aged two-dimensional man every day, addicted to the paper world every day, he is really capable. The reason for running away from Chang'an back then was actually the Chang'an Taijuan, which prevented him from copying and learning calligraphy.
Move to a place where work pressure is low.
After arriving in the Ganges River, it was hard to say that working with all one's strength was not enough, but after Huangge was hanged, Samadhija's operational level was enough to create a template among the Ganges Kingdoms.
There is no shortage of water in the Ganges River Basin, and there is no problem with the sunshine and climate, but the reason why it is difficult for the locals to achieve three crops a year is simply because droughts lead to drought and waterlogging leads to death.
During the dry season, except for the fields close to the river, it is normal for the fields to be dry and cracked by the sun. During the rainy season, it is normal for the water to be three feet deep on the flat land. However, if taken into consideration, there is actually no shortage of water in the Ganges River Basin, but there are some problems with the distribution.
.
Therefore, the simplest way to solve this problem is to transform the water network, arrange various hydraulic projects, reservoirs, etc., and reserve drainage in the rainy season and use it in the dry season.
It was easy for Zhong Yao to do this, because when he was in Yongzhou, Li Jue rebuilt the Zhengguo Canal and opened the Eight Rivers in Chang'an. It was Zhong Yao's job to reshape the waterways.
No one would think that this is something Li Jue can do. San Sha is only suitable to be a supervisor and listen to Zhong Yao's command. However, it is precisely because he works as a local supervisor that the Xiliang cavalry is familiar to the people of Yongliang. When he quits
When we were in the Central Plains, we were ruthless and captured the Qianghu from the northwest regardless of losses, and we were able to land half-black and half-white.
Of course, the most important point here is that Zhong Yao kept a low profile and gave all the glory to Li Jue. In fact, whether it was planning, scheduling, project arrangement advancement, material distribution planning, etc., it was basically all done by Zhong Yao.
Therefore, for Zhong Yao, the reconstruction of the Ganges water network is a matter of whether he is willing to do it or not.
"Now we need to find ways to turn these nearly 10 million people into a labor force and become our own strength." Chen Xi said with a bit of a sigh.
"In a short period of time, this is simply not possible." Fazheng said in a rather depressed voice, "All the servants I recruited have gone to the local area to strengthen the rule. In all conscience, Master Li's torture of Brahmins' human nature
, in fact, it is also drinking poison to quench thirst.”
Chen Xi nodded when he heard this, but Li You really had no choice at that time. The Han Dynasty advanced too quickly and captured the lower reaches of the Ganges. In fact, the follow-up preparations were not made well.
"What are your plans now?" Fazheng asked curiously.
"Agriculture and large-scale workshops are promoted at the same time, absorbing the population, and gradually advancing during the work." Chen Xi pursed his lips. In fact, they did not have enough managers, so they had to use other methods. "Although the people here say
I have been brainwashed by religion, but I can always distinguish between self-interest and self-harm."
Fazheng nodded, animals have instincts, I can definitely tell this.
"At present, the best way is to mobilize local people to carry out construction during the dry season. With the foundation left by Wenru, we can still do it by providing food." Chen Xi squinted his eyes and said, "Build flood control facilities first.
, after the dry season comes the rainy season.”
Fazheng nodded, feeling that Chen Xi's plan was too simple and far different from the previous ones. It's not that they had never thought of doing this, but except when Zhong Yao personally took charge of the water conservancy projects of Samo and Zha, when the local people were building them
There was no riot. At other times, armed uprisings were nothing to laugh about.
The biggest commotion was when they were in Fahrenheit City. Fazheng was also preparing to build a water network and organized 20,000 to 30,000 local people. The situation was fine at first, but as a result, the project was not even one-third complete. These people didn't know what to do.
The reason was the uprising.
Although it was suppressed by Wang Ping's team without causing much turmoil, this kind of turmoil made Fazheng extremely fearful, not to mention that this was not the first time this happened.
"Are you worried that when there are more people, the locals who get the construction tools will cause unrest?" Chen Xi looked at Fazheng's expression and knew what he was thinking.
"Yes." Fazheng did not hide his thoughts.
Chen Xi nodded. He also knew that the reason why the Yuan Dynasty capsized was not because of the construction of the Yellow River. Too many poor people gathered together. Everyone complained to each other and had nowhere to vent their anger, so they revolted directly. Others blindly followed. The Yuan Dynasty did not
.
"Actually, the local people will not resist on a large scale because of our oppression." Chen Xi smiled and said, "Their unrest will only be because of the caste system."
In fact, in later generations, the ethnic unrest in India was basically due to religion, caste, oppression by foreign enemies, etc. It may lead to large-scale unrest in other places. In this place, as long as you collude with the local high castes, there will be no problem.
It would cause too many problems.
Fazheng squinted his eyes and looked at Chen Xi. In this case, what was the situation of the previous turmoil?
"We still need to cooperate with the local upper castes." Chen Xi said, suppressing his smile, "At least the construction of these projects requires the cooperation of the local upper castes."
"I hate Brahmins." Fazheng said unhappily.
"I hate it too, but we don't have enough managers now," Chen Xi explained.
"Can't you find some other way?" Fazheng looked at Chen Xi with some dissatisfaction.
"There are other ways, but people haven't migrated here yet. Don't you think that the manpower from factories and mines can be transferred instantly? It will take at least a year. The simplest and most effective way now is to recruit middle- and high-school-sized people to do it.
Construction is about laying the foundation." Chen Xi didn't want to think about it either, but in reality, things like this inevitably require compromise.
"Aren't you making plans before taking action?" Fazheng looked at Chen Xi and said, "And don't think that I don't know that your factories and mines in Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou are all equipped with double the backbone, and those four
The state’s industries cover almost all mainstream industries.”
After all, Fazheng fought out of Mount Tai together with Chen Xi, and experienced the earliest era of few people, so Fazheng knew Chen Xi's early layout even better than Zhuge Liang.
"I cut off part of it and transplanted it to a more suitable place. After all, when I made these layouts, I had not conquered the entire world, so it was not the optimal solution. During the eastward tour, I went to conduct on-site surveys and reconstruction." Chen Xi
There is no hiding that when these were first established, they were prepared to spread and self-replicate.
"What about the other part?" Fazheng asked directly. At his level, there is nothing he can't say. The plan to attack the Central Plains was made by Chen Xi, so Chen Xi must have made preparations. It is impossible to rush forward just now.
Follow-up planning.
If there is no need to fight on the front line in that way, it is only right to first find ways to digest the areas that were previously conquered. The nearly 10 million people with traces of other civilizations are not to be said to be assimilated. Just let them be under the management of the Han army. Don't do anything.
Everything is very serious.
"Jizhou and Yuzhou have changed their bureaucrats." Chen Xi said with a twitching face.
Just as Fazheng estimated, Chen Xi indeed left enough manpower in the Ganges River Basin to completely replicate the mainstream factories and mines in the four states of Qing, Xu, Yan, and Hebei.
Originally, after Chen Xi left in the second half of this year, these people would be able to arrive on time and absorb local residents to build new state-owned industries.
On the premise that he has sufficient management experience, all the industries ordered to be copied have been inspected by Chen Xi personally. It is basically impossible to have problems such as acclimatization. At that time, it will only need to enter the industrial operation mode. The population of the Ganges River
They are all human batteries.
When the industry begins to advance on a large scale and starts to operate crazily, it will be impossible for the population of Ganges to withdraw even if they want to.
The most brutal part of industrial advancement is that it has completely destroyed the original social environment. It is impossible for people to return to the pastoral society where men farm and women weave. They can only be forced to follow this fast-paced social life and crazy output and consumption.
Chen Xi's original idea was to try ultra-high-tempo operation on the Ganges River. In the local area, we need to pay attention to some humanity and combine work with rest, so that after working hard, the people can enjoy the time and leisure brought by social operation.
, you can try a new method here.
After all, we have to accumulate experience for the next development. Besides, fast-paced operation is also beneficial to the efficiency of factories and mines. Only with high enough efficiency can the Han Dynasty invest a larger scale of troops in the Ganges. The current scale of troops can be completely
It is not the limit of the Han Dynasty, but the limit of logistics.
It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Chen Xi's preparation was disrupted because of the situation in Jizhou and Yuzhou. Although Li You suggested that Yuan Shu should be the one to shoulder the burden, but Li You was inhumane and Chen Xi could not be inhumane, so he gave
After Jizhou arranged personnel, Chen Xi also arranged a group of personnel for Yuzhou.
Under the current premise that such excellent backbones are in short supply, a wave of turmoil in Jizhou and Yuzhou directly sucked away half of Chen Xi's reserves. Together, these two places have a population similar to that of the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, so they only need to exchange
After a few people, it became what it is now.
"You actually made mistakes sometimes." Fa Zheng's skin twitched twice, and he also understood what happened. Even though Chen Xi did a good job of patching up the holes at the time, all this was done with the human resources that should have been given to Fa Zheng.
, Fazheng wanted to hit someone.
"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and there's nothing I can do about it." Chen Xi had no choice but to say, "According to my previous habits, for such a big event, I at least have to be prepared for three things. But in our current situation, how can I be prepared for three things?"
"What should we do?" Fazheng looked at Chen Xi with burning eyes, "At least build all those factories and mines for us. After they are built, there will be no need to worry about the material problems ahead. At least the local young men and women will go to work.
No one is causing trouble."
The highest state of stability maintenance is when everyone goes to work. Not only does no one wander around in the street, which reduces social risks, but also produces more supplies. It is simply the best of both worlds.
What's more important is that if everyone goes to work and relies on the inertia of the system to manage, after a long time, people will get used to it, and the management cost will directly drop to relying entirely on the people's self-management ability, which is really a loser. What's more important is that
This kind of thing is really normal.
Fazheng had thought about setting up factories and mines before, but if you look at Chen Xi, you can do it yourself. If you look at it yourself, it is just a grassroots team. It will explode before it even gets started. However, there are more Han people and the factories and mines that absorb local residents can continue to operate.
.
But with more Han people and fewer local people, factories and mines with little operational value are simply unnecessary. So Fazheng gave up early. Unexpectedly, Chen Xi was already prepared.
"I'm thinking of a way." Chen Xi waved his hand, "If you want to reduce operating costs, solve social hazards, and increase output, the most reliable way is to let these people go to work quickly. There are other ways, but there is no
This is useful.”
"Then it's up to you. I can't help you in this regard. I'm going to give Bei Guiren some advice!" Fazheng saw Chen Xi's look and knew that Chen Xi probably had a solution in his mind, but he was still evaluating whether it was worth it, so
Fazheng did not ask Chen Xi any further questions and ran away directly, leaving Chen Xi free time.
Chen Xi watched Fazheng leave, and then involuntarily pressed his temples. To be honest, he really hadn't worked hard for a while, and he had to work hard this time. There was no way to solve the problem of Ganges, and the cost of rule was
There, sooner or later there will be no way to survive.
During Japan's war of aggression against China, not to mention the failure in the Pacific in the later stages, the cost of ruling Central and North China actually caused Japan to abandon its vast wilderness and only garrison cities. After all, everything needs to be discussed in terms of cost.
[Sure enough, no matter what the problem is, it will eventually come down to population and education. The former determines the population and the number of geniuses, and the latter determines the quality of the population and the ratio of backbones. Is it possible to really use those five years of education from the Taishan period?
Cultivated students?] Chen Xi lowered his head and began to evaluate whether it was worth it.
The popularization of education has been carried out for several years, but not all educated students have entered the state-owned industry to work. The vast majority of students failed to enter technical positions in the state-owned industry during the graduation season, but took Chen Xi's job.
I was given a small loan to put my knowledge to use.
After so many years, Chen Xi has a list of all those who have completed repayment among these people, and has also entered the industries these people are currently entering. It can be said that these are all backup.
The education organized by Chen Xi had technical training before the division of subjects was proposed in the sixth year of Yuanfeng. Most of the common people's children would choose one or two common skills, as well as technical posts dedicated to factories and mines. The former was chosen, and the latter was chosen.
It is necessary to learn.
After so many years, those young students have basically mastered the skills in life and turned them into a means of livelihood.
