What does it mean to be the third big shot? This is it.
Sun Qian has always been a quiet person among these elders, and he doesn't like to participate in team building activities. He has been building roads everywhere since before Yuan Fengnian, and he behaves like a migrant worker. He is either drilling mountains or wading in rivers every day. , but if we want to rank among this group of elders, Sun Qian is definitely in the top three.
Now that Lu Su has fallen, there is no doubt that secondly, there is no way. Although Zhuge Liang has taken over Lu Su's work, it is impossible to straighten it out, master it, and fully obtain Lu Su's former power and status in a short time. It is estimated that it will take a few years to complete the matter.
In fact, this was also the reason why Chen Xi was furious in the Government Affairs Office. Chen Xi's inquiry at that time was actually to let these elders make a choice between his and Lu Su's respective routes.
For Chen Xi at that time, if most of the elders chose Lu Su's line, Chen Xi would have accepted it. He could go on any path anyway, and there would not be much difference in the future. However, Sun Qian took the lead in neutrality. , which directly stunned Chen Xi.
After Sun Qian became neutral, Jian Yong also followed suit. As two people who had just returned, they didn't understand what happened to Lu Su and Chen Xi. It wasn't because they lacked political sensitivity, but in the eyes of Sun Qian and Jian Yong, the problem was not there yet. At that point, the boss and the second boss started fighting again, and we could just sit down and eat.
However, in Chen Xi's view, this kind of attitude of simply not wanting to pay attention is division. If Lu Su and I are fighting, it's okay if you don't help, but you still want to start a mountain?
After all, in that situation, Chen Xi would rather watch Lu Su lead a group of people to rebel against him than watch a group of people divide into several hills and attack each other. The former at least shows that everyone is of the same mind, while the latter means that everyone is not on the same page at all. , what a fart!
Chen Xi was disheartened. In addition to Lu Su, a large part of the reason was that there were four or five mountains in the political Yuan's lineup at that time.
If the ideological disunity of the middle and lower classes can lead to rebellion at most, then there is no such thing as rebellion at the top, only division!
Chen Xi can accept that this group of people are attacking him. At least this is not a split, but a problem with his design. Lu Su's behavior is a little more violent, but at least there is a reason for it. He is afraid that he will not be able to defeat him. But when Lu Su charges, you are just watching. When the opportunity comes, it will be divided into five pieces. It's damn good that Chen Xi is upset. With this group of people besieging Chen Xi together, Chen Xi won't be upset. Instead, he will reflect on himself.
But this division is nothing, the co-authorship is all my imagination, Chen Xi.
After solving Lu Su's problem, Chen Xi straightened out his logic and understood why Sun Qian was neutral at that time. He went back to find Sun Qian and asked Sun Qian to go back and build the road quickly. Don't show up in the Political Yuan. What the hell are you doing? Do you know your position and how much political power you have?
Chen Xi, who was stunned by Sun Gan's work, really didn't want to discuss it, so he could only tell Sun Gan to go back to building roads and avoid participating in such emergencies, otherwise he would be pissed to death.
Of course, after Sun Qian returned to Sichuan and Shu to continue building roads, Chen Xi wrote a letter to inform Sun Qian. In this letter, he specifically compared the scale of power possessed by the existing civil and military schools. In this secret letter, There was no Chen Xi, no Lu Su, and Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wan were newly added, but Sun Qian realized after reading it that he was actually the most powerful among all the civil and military schools.
Nonsense, Sun Qian is of course the largest in size, but what Sun Qian himself did not realize is that the huge number of veterans among the construction teams he manages is only one aspect, and the traditional militarized management of state-owned factories and mines is another aspect. , plus counting the roads built since Yuanfeng years ago, the prefectures and counties connected, the drinks drank, and the cadres promoted.
Sun Qian is one of the few top-level bosses who has sufficient manpower in both military and political aspects.
In the past, this was the exclusive domain of Chen Xi and Lu Su. Even after Lu Su gradually withdrew from the military field in the later period, the number of military personnel involved had gradually decreased. But Sun Qian was different. Sun Qian's state caused him to be discharged and resettled in every round. At any time, it can absorb a large number of soldiers and even officers.
This kind of continuous accumulation will only continue to expand his own strength before reaching the age limit. Under this expansion, it is difficult for Sun Qian to clearly understand whether these groups are his own strength. In the past, Sun Qian thought it didn't count, but Chen Xi's letter clearly told Sun Qian that it did and must be counted.
Because human beings live in society, they are destined to be in a situation, that is, whoever gives money to take care of food and allows them to support their families will choose with their feet.
At present, the Han Dynasty only has three things that can provide such work, one is the state-owned factories and mines represented by Chen Xi, the other is its own agriculture, and the infrastructure represented by Sun Qian.
There are only three things that can support people these days. Why can Sun Qian and Chen Xi compete with each other? And whenever there is any talent or large-scale young people, Sun Qian will smell it and appear, or directly dig out of the soil. Come out, no matter who he is, you can get a batch first and then talk about it.
To put it bluntly, this thing is really necessary, and it is really important. And unlike later generations, Sun Qian is not only the leader, manager, but also the executor.
This resulted in Sun Qian's power being in a state of expansion. This was the reason why he separated part of Sun Qian's power in the past few years and established a powerful ministerial position.
Sun Qian has no real feelings about this, because his current size is too huge. Just after Lu Su fell, Zhuge Liang and Li You were divided into a lot of work, and they were still able to find a minister for Jiang Wan. Position, this is the meaning of everything in existence.
It was also after that time that Sun Qian had the consciousness to be cautious in his words and deeds, not to talk too much, and to count his own resources. It was also after that time that Sun Qian realized that he had 400,000 veterans.
Many of these veterans were from the Ganges Main Battle Corps, and there were also some old people who were as old as Mount Tai. Some of them were as strong as fifth- and sixth-level guards, while the weak were just talented.
As for why the 5th and 6th level Imperial Guards would go to the construction team to clear dust, instead of going to the local militia captain or something, this has to consider the issue of personal struggle and mentality. Li Tiao used to be a member of the construction team to clear dust. Ah, well, if you think about it carefully, when Li Tiao was dusting the building, he followed Sun Qian. If you think about it this way, it seems normal.
So it is not a problem at all for the 5th and 6th level guards to clean dust. Some people can really make a lot of money doing this. After all, the construction industry is really about the more work, and the talents of some guards are really suitable for dusting, concrete mixers, etc. This kind of thing can really be replaced by the talent of the Imperial Guard.
Of course, if you want to replace a large concrete mixer, the talent intensity required is quite high, but it doesn't matter. It's normal for Sun Qian to lack other people. It's impossible to lack veterans. On the contrary, if you really want to think about it, many times Sun Qian will What Qian is facing may be that veterans lack the vision for discovery.
However, the wisdom of the working people is infinite, and various special ways of using it have emerged, such as spiral force field mixers, white disaster condensers, fantasy warrior submersibles, etc. In short, all kinds of strange talents , various strange application methods effectively reduce the difficulty of construction.
Especially in some dangerous areas, it is much safer to send an illusion soldier to get a perspective than letting people go over. If it explodes, it will explode. At most, it will be tiring. If people go over, they may die.
So now, Sun Qian's most high-end construction sites are all filled with functional veterans, and it's all thanks to these people's efforts to improve work efficiency. This is also an important reason why the Southwest Passage can be completed earlier than originally planned.
With these clear understandings, Sun Qian also clarified his status. I, Sun Qian, am the third member of the Han Dynasty!
Therefore, when Sun Qian said that he had more than 400,000 veterans who had been on the battlefield, Chen Deng was shocked, while Liu Bei had a calm mind. This was about the same as he estimated. It should even be said that if Sun Qian did not have so many Veterans are the big problem.
According to Chen Xi's explanation to Liu Bei, the infrastructure project was an important reservoir for the Han Dynasty. It not only improved the potential and management capabilities of the Han Dynasty, but also diverted the population.
So when Liu Bei was wandering around these years, he basically determined the size of Sun Qian's veterans while chatting with local veterans. After all, one of two or three veterans went to build roads.
With such a simple estimate, considering the discharge certificate issued by yourself, you can almost estimate how many veterans Sun Qian has.
"What if we include the young and strong?" Liu Bei asked with some thought. He was considering whether Sun Qian, Guan Yu and others should be directly merged together after Sun Qian Road was built to the Ganges River. He would give it to Guishang first. A ruthless wave.
"There are probably more than two million young people in various places. There is no one who is too old here. After all, the workload is very heavy. If you are older, you may not be able to bear it, so there is an age requirement here. ." Sun Qian gave a direct answer. His subordinates are all young and strong, and there are no old men. There may be helpers, but the helpers are not in the directory Sun Qian has.
"What about Sichuan and Sichuan?" Liu Bei thought for a while, made a rough estimate, and thought he could give it a try.
"You don't want me to directly join General Guan's troops after arriving at the Ganges River, and then go to fight against Kushan?" Sun Qian looked at Liu Bei in surprise. How could this be possible? There are so many veterans under his command over the years. They are all doing nothing, and no formal military exercises have been conducted for too long. There are gaps in many aspects.
"There should be no problem with the military organization. It will only take about three months of reorganization. After all, there are many veterans." Liu Bei said with a smile. He was still confident about this matter. Sun Qian's subordinates However, there are many outstanding backbones. When the time comes, even the middle and lower-level generals will not need to be replenished. They will only need to regroup on the spot to reconstruct the army.
"Having said that, I'm really not very optimistic about this. I have some veterans with high smelting skills under my command, but to be honest, these veterans have not been positioned for battlefield smelting in recent years, and I feel that their talent development direction is in line with It used to be a little different and not suitable for the battlefield anymore." Sun Qian said with a dry smile. Apart from other things, his more than 50 mixers that were once five or six levels of smelting and now are four or five levels of smelting are really not very good. ah!
When I first came here, I was always good at mixing concrete, but now I feel like I am very good at mixing concrete and very efficient. I feel like I can't do anything like fighting.
Think about it, when I first came here, there were single fights and group fights. Even a disciplined picket team could not control these tough-headed veterans. But now, these tough-headed veterans work from dawn to dusk every day, and the whole person feels They are all numb, and even if they are provoked, they are too lazy to move. How can they still be beaten?
Of course it can!
The fact that these concrete mixers can maintain such a high level of smelting under the curse of the second round of God is enough to explain the problem. Smelting this kind of thing can really improve the basic quality, and every level is guaranteed.
The fourth and fifth levels of smelting, in the current situation, even if you go to Northern Europe, you can use the heads of several divine guards to cushion them. However, the people whose combat ability has been destroyed by Sun Qian are numb.
There is no way, if you are asked to mix nearly a thousand cubic meters of concrete in a day, everyone will be numb. Large mixers cannot mix so much concrete in a day. Generally speaking, those that can mix so many cubic meters of concrete are called mixing stations. …
However, dozens of veterans stir and stir like this every day, exerting their own spiral force field and power control to the limit, working for more than ten hours a day without stopping. How can they not be numb? Not numb. That's what the hell happened.
After all, talent is the feedback of the collective will in reality. If you use it to such an extreme in one day, what kind of iron will is this? If you use this extreme method for a few years, you should have developed a new method of use long ago. , and it has not been developed yet. It means that Sun Qian only needs the stirring function and does not need other abilities.
Even if they go to the battlefield, it is impossible to have high-smelting veterans of the fourth and fifth levels to use their talents at high intensity and at the extreme level all day long!
Therefore, as a spiral force field that can stir more than ten cubic meters of concrete at a time, if it is used to stir people, it basically does not require any special operations. It can just stir the other party as concrete. Anyway, dozens of tons of concrete can be stirred. A hundred-man team can stir it. Soldiers should be able to stir it up. At most, the concrete won't resist, but an enemy army of the size of a centurion will resist, but it's not a big problem.
"That's it, let's talk about it then." Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, but he did not reject his idea. In his opinion, this is indeed a very good plan. It is really unexpected, and it is difficult for Guishang to be prepared. Just with the backbone of Sichuan and Shu passing over, the strength of Guan Yu's army can be doubled.
Although there are not exactly more soldiers on the battlefield, there is no problem in the fact that more soldiers are really stronger. With twice the number of troops, Guan Yu can put some of his ideas to use.
"Speaking of which, Taiwei, do you have any business coming to Yizhou?" Chen Deng asked with some curiosity after seeing two former friends who were now bosses, "Of course, if it involves secrets, If so, then needless to say, I’m just a little curious.”
"There is no secret. I just accidentally discovered something when I was inspecting the suburbs of Chang'an, so I ran along the road to have a look and chat with them on the highway." Liu Bei's face straightened slightly and he spoke with a bit of seriousness. .
"Ah, Marquis Yangcheng and the others have committed another crime." Sun Qian said a little tiredly. Based on Sun Qian's experience, he returned to Chang'an five times, and he saw Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang in prison three times, and the remaining two times Most of them have just been released from prison, and it feels like the prison has almost become their hometown now.
"It's not a crime, I just need to talk to them and confirm some things with them so that they can stop messing around." Liu Bei said with a solemn expression, which had changed a lot from the gentle look before. Even Chen Deng could see Liu Bei's displeasure.
"Lieutenant, I can see the displeasure on your face. Did those two people do anything else?" Chen Deng asked with some curiosity. He still had a certain fondness for Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang. After all, During his time in power, these two people built roads in Sichuan and Sichuan, which reduced his management costs a lot, and tax collection was much easier than before.
Therefore, seeing that Liu Bei was a little dissatisfied with the two of them, he felt that he still needed some persuasion.
Liu Bei sighed after hearing this, "It's roughly like this. I met a veteran in the suburbs of Chang'an. He was a Guanzhong soldier who had participated in the Battle of Northern Xinjiang and retired early. I chatted with him and found out that he had been... Losing money in gambling will turn you into a beggar."
"???" Sun Qian had a question mark on his head, what the hell, what does it mean to become a beggar after losing? Who the hell are you kidding? Damn it, in this social environment, you have both hands and feet, and you can still become a beggar. , just say you don’t work, what do you mean by being a loser and becoming a beggar?
"Don't worry about this kind of gambling dog." Chen Deng said with a sneer, "No matter how capable this kind of person is, it's useless if he becomes a gambling man. Gambling turns people into ghosts. Don't worry about this kind of people who can't even control themselves." The guy who lives here has become a beggar? Humph, his mind has changed, what the hell."
"That's true, but I still felt uncomfortable when I saw it, so I searched around the suburbs and found that casino. How can I say that it is illegal according to the regulations, but it is generally acceptable. "Although there is gambling in there, it's not a big game. As you all know, I used to play small bets like cockfighting and dogfighting." Liu Bei sighed and said.
"Then don't worry about it. This is your own problem. This kind of small gambling house is just for gambling. There are also some in Yizhou. After all, people sometimes need to relax. I remember that there are also some in Gongyou's team. This kind of small gambling." Chen Deng said with a sneer, and then looked at Sun Qian.
"Well, yes, the limit for a single bet is fifty cents, and it cannot exceed five hundred cents a month." Sun Qian said casually, "Most of the time, the banker finds two wild roosters, and then bets. Most of them It’s just one article, five articles, and a lot of fun.”
