Sun Ce is still very proud, and I don’t know where on earth this guy caught so many marine products with internal air, such as king crabs that are several people’s size, lobsters that are several meters long, rat spots that are several meters long, and so on.
Tridacna weighing tons, etc.
In short, when Sun Ce led his men to deliver several large trucks of overseas goods to Chen Xi, Chen Xi's eyes widened. It would probably take a lot of time just to collect these things.
"Where did you get these things?" Chen Xi looked at the sea goods that had been shipped to his home, and finally couldn't help but ask Sun Ce.
"The internal energy beasts in the sea are not even at the top of the food chain. You can still catch them if you look carefully. They are not too many, but they are not too few either. It is just difficult to catch them. You have to get on a battleship.
If a single inner gas is separated from the body, it is really impossible to go fishing in the sea." Sun Ce said with some regret, "In fact, the ocean is quite dangerous. Without a big ship, you will basically die."
Chen Xi was silent for a while after hearing this, and he understood more and more why life in those offshore fishing villages was so difficult back then. Fishing was not an easy task. The sea was indeed a mother, but this mother did not have a very good temper.
"Actually, we have now restricted the sailing distance of small boats. Once they go too deep and enter the fishing grounds, it is actually quite dangerous. Unless the fourth-generation ships are large-scale, they are no longer so safe in offshore fisheries." Sun Ce.
It is rare to express a conclusion after some rational thinking. It is obvious that this guy has definitely understood this matter in depth.
"That's it. No wonder the Distant Ocean Fisheries Department has eliminated the fourth-generation ships and handed them over to local governments. Some coastal veterans have pooled their money to purchase fourth-generation ships for offshore fishing." Chen Xi recalled what the Distant Ocean Fisheries Department had reported in previous years.
When I first read the official document, it only approved an execution iteration plan, but now that I think about it, it seems that Chen Xi thought in the wrong direction.
At that time, Chen Xi thought that the Ocean Fisheries Department had understood what technology iteration meant and that it should be constantly updated. But what Sun Ce meant was that for offshore fishing, the dangers of fourth-generation ships were too high?
"Coastal veterans pooled their money to buy fourth-generation ships for offshore fishing?" Sun Ce was so troubled by Chen Xi's words that he didn't know how to answer the question. Are veterans so rich? Even if fourth-generation ships are eliminated, they are still warships after all.
It’s not a sampan!
"Yes, Lieutenant Shen Quan, who was killed in battle before, purchased a retired fourth-generation warship. They have discounts for purchasing this kind of thing, and soldiers who have served on retired warships want to buy it.
There will be further discounts, and this discount can be as low as below the cost price, and then a few more discounts." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
After all, it is a retired ship, and it has made back several times its cost during its service. When it was finally sold, the soldiers who served on the warship were somewhat sentimental. I resold it to you without making any money, just to keep you as a souvenir.
Just think of it and sell it at a low price.
However, the cost of a warship is only one aspect. The annual maintenance cost is the real killer. If you buy one for a single person, you must either be a big owner or have special maintenance skills. Otherwise, you will just clean up the things attached to the bottom of the ship.
The various marine parasites are deadly enough. After all, those kinds of things can really kill a battleship.
"This is really amazing." Sun Ce was silent for a while and then suddenly laughed, "Suddenly I feel that there are still a group of people in the world who are not taken seriously and their lives are much better."
"Isn't that a matter of course?" Chen Xi said with a proud face, "My efforts over the years are not in vain. Compared with other things, when it comes to these things, I am still somewhat proud of myself. This is really done based on my ability.
The level reached is promoted.”
Sun Ce nodded. If he could afford a battleship alone, even if he was just a front-line infantry, he would definitely be considered an upper-middle class person now, but...
"That's not right. According to this statement, how come none of the veterans under my command can afford a warship?" Sun Ce asked with some confusion.
Logically speaking, if the sale of decommissioned warships provides relief for the crew, Jiangdong's side should have the greatest advantage. As a result, none of the retired soldiers under his command have any warships, not even one.
"Nearly all of our retired soldiers who have achieved such meritorious service have been captured and served as soldiers, haven't they become generals of the princes?" Chen Xi said matter-of-factly.
This is really not the benefit of Chen Xi Hei Jiangdong, but Jiangdong himself who lost his retirement benefits and became a retainer appointed by the lieutenants. It is not considered retired, because such retainers will manage the fiefdom and be carried out by the lieutenants.
If you give rewards, the country will not need rewards.
In fact, this is the same as the reason why Li Guang accepted the reward from King Liang, but Emperor Jing did not give any more reward. Although it may be a bit petty, the Han Dynasty essentially had a dual monarchy concept.
To put it simply, when you serve as an official, do you serve as an official for the government or a bureaucrat?
If someone accepts the conquest of the princes and becomes a minister of the princes, then the object of allegiance is to the princes. Although the national decree is large, it generally does not reach this level.
In other words, there are two types of ministers, one is loyal to the country, and the other is loyal to someone. This is why Chen Xi is not considered a minister, because Chen Xi and Liu Bei are actually loyal to the country, while some people are considered to be loyal to the country.
Liu Bei's ministers, taking Lu Su as an example, essentially it was Liu Bei who conquered Lu Su, and Lu Su was willing to be loyal, so Lu Su was Liu Bei's minister.
According to the situation in the Han Dynasty, when Liu Bei died, Chen Xi did not need to observe filial piety, but Lu Su, who was Liu Bei's ministers, needed to observe filial piety.
Although what Lu Su really wants to say is that he is loyal to Liu Bei and also loyal to the country, but they must be prioritized, with Liu Bei first and the country second.
This is also the reason why Liu Bei can directly take over the previous affairs, because Liu Bei is the monarch of most of the main group of people who made trouble before, Chen Xi is not, Chen Xi is a pure central court official, if Chen Xi and those people are torn apart,
It requires righteousness.
There is no need for Liu Bei. Liu Bei is a great righteousness to those people because Liu Bei is their monarch. Liu Bei can also directly carry thunder for the same reason.
Therefore, Chen Xi used this reason to answer Sun Ce, and Sun Ce could understand it. Those people had surrendered to the princes, and of course the princes had to support them!
"Well, I can't explain the pros and cons." Sun Ce scratched his head when he heard this. He couldn't figure out whether it was better to be a veteran of the Han Dynasty or a manager of the Jingchu noble family.
"If we could clearly explain the pros and cons, it would be one-sided long ago." Chen Xi said angrily, "Take Lu Quan as an example. After he retired from the army, he worked as an archery instructor in Xuzhou. For two thousand dan, he could scrape together the money to buy a fourth-generation ship.
You can arrange certain positions for your heirs, but your Sun He's ability is about the same as that of Lu Quan. He does not have an official position of two thousand dan, but you have given him a place."
If you just draw the land, in the situation in Southeast Asia, Lu Quan's level cannot be developed. However, after Sun Ce drew the land, he included this area into the overall development, giving Sun He a future. This is why Sun He is very happy when fighting.
Death-defying.
As for which of the two is better, once again, if the pros and cons can be explained clearly, it will already be one-sided. It is precisely because the pros and cons cannot be clearly explained that both situations always exist, and then the soldiers choose according to their respective situations.
However, every veteran who makes a choice is probably very satisfied with his choice. After all, this is really a dividend of the times.
"Yes, if I can clearly explain the pros and cons, then there is no need to choose." Sun Ce nodded and said, it seems that this is the most correct situation.
"Wu Hou, can I ask a question?" Chen Xi looked at Sun Ce's expression of understanding and couldn't help but feel curious, and felt that the time was right.
"Ask your question," Sun Ce said nonchalantly.
"Can you tell me, what is it that you are pursuing? Over the years, I have understood the pursuit of Xuande Gong, the pursuit of Yehou, and the pursuit of Sikong, but I have never understood you, Marquis Wu.
I never thought that Wu Hou would be a fool." Chen Xi looked at Sun Ce seriously and asked.
Sun Ce behaves like a fool most of the time, leaving all kinds of things to Zhou Yu to handle, and wandering around day by day, giving people the impression of being a jerk.
But Chen Xi didn't think Sun Ce was just a mad dog, because a mad dog couldn't become the leader of a force, even if he was lucky enough to be shocking.
Sun Ce himself is not a person who expresses emotions and anger, and due to his background, he has no relevant education in this area. He was quite caught off guard when Chen Xi asked him face to face.
However, Sun Ce was stunned for a while, and then told the truth, but there was a hint of self-deprecation in his words, "Unlike you princes and nobles, you may have very clear goals from the beginning, but I am different. My father fought
When I died on the battlefield, what I was thinking about was not even revenge, but how to stabilize the Sun family."
Sun Ce said something that was somewhat sad and helpless.
"The greatest luck in my life may be meeting Gong Jin. Many things would not be possible without Gong Jin. Can you imagine that an ordinary family who moved to the south of the Yangtze River with his mother and young brother at the age of thirteen or fourteen could quickly make friends
Do the local powerful celebrities mingle with the local high-class people?" Sun Ce looked at Chen Xi with some memories and said.
When Chen Xi heard this, he felt sad.
"Actually, the reason why it can be done is very simple, because the ancestors of the Zhou family lived in Shu County, and Gongjin's Shuhou also came here." Sun Ce said very calmly, "I do have some ambitions and some lofty aspirations, but
When do you think a person like me would aim at the world?"
Chen Xi nodded. Origin and vision will affect many things. Human desires and ambitions will also change with the growth of status.
"Gong Jin's goal is actually very clear. He has always been like that, basically unchanged. From the time he promoted me to the top, he has always aimed at the world until he met you. Speaking of which, if you hadn't given me new possibilities
, I'm afraid Gong Jin and I will both die in your hands." Sun Ce said to Chen Xi very carefully. At this moment, Sun Ce was not stupid at all.
"So Gong Jin was hit?" Chen Xi smiled and said, "Isn't it very normal that you can't beat me?"
"It is precisely because he realized that he was completely defeated that he recognized the reality." Sun Ce glanced at Chen Xi, "I also realized this, so I know what I should do."
"I understand." Chen Xi was silent for a while, extracting what Sun Ce wanted to say from Sun Ce's words.
It is obvious that Sun Ce is very satisfied with the current situation. Unlike Sun Ce who was tricked by Yuan Shu in the official history, fought back and forth, and saw the weakening of the Central Plains, Sun Ce in this life is actually very smooth. Even if he is ambitious, he is still
Before it swelled, Liu Bei pressed it down.
More importantly, unlike Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Liu Bei can at least speak of Han Dynasty orthodoxy.
In addition, Yuan Shu in this life did not feel sorry for Sun Ce. As far as Sun Ce was concerned, Yuan Shu was no different from his adoptive father. Apart from not calling him dad, he received other treatment and both parties were very satisfied.
Therefore, after facing the force majeure factor of Chen Xi, Sun Ce's ambition quickly adjusted his position and sat in a suitable place.
After all, Sun Ce is now a vassal king, and he is the kind of vassal king who looks forward to a bright future. He has realized that Chen Xi is invincible, and has never thought about fighting back to the Central Plains. He just wants to farm in Sumatra.
It was so impressive that for Sun Ce, who had been a prince for generations, he had realized his wish.
Based on this logic, Chen Xi understood everything instantly.
"After all, without Gongjin, I wouldn't be who I am now. I started on this path only after making friends with famous people on both sides of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. Now that my journey has come to an end, Gongjin is still on the road, so how can I not help Gongjin?"
." Sun Ce said very calmly, "He still has a way forward, and I am satisfied."
"He can't beat me." Chen Xi said helplessly, "Can't you recognize the reality?"
"Even if he can't win, Gong Jin will not admit defeat. He will exhaust all his energy to find those possibilities." Sun Ce said with a smile, "Even if he can't win now, he will still leave a trace of his future.
Gong Jin will not accept the possibility of winning in the future but losing for the rest of his life."
"Okay." Chen Xi smacked his lips twice and didn't say much. Zhou Yu's thoughts were considered normal. On the other hand, he could also understand Sun Ce's perspective.
"Anyway, there are so many opportunities, so of course I have to let him give it a try. Everything I could have dreamed about has been achieved. Personal strength, my own pursuits, and my family's extravagant hopes. There is no way ahead for me." Sun Ce was very happy.
He said calmly.
To be precise, it's not that there is no way out, or that Sun Ce is always contented, or that he has no ambition, but more realistically, Sun Ce, who was born in the Sun family, has come to an end when facing opponents like this.
I went to work. I didn’t want to go at all. I hadn’t been to work for a month. Plus there were so many positives everywhere. I just wanted to run away with my bucket.
