"I can accept this condition on behalf of Bo Fu, and even if conditions permit, directly fight the war in some sparsely populated places." Yuan Shu stared at Chen Xi and said, "But I need to see that land with my own eyes.
, Although I, Yuan Shu, am a favored disciple, I have never done farming in the plains!"
Chen Xi did not stop Yuan Shu from going to the north of Saibei. Similarly, the family alliance came to an end with Yuan Shu's words. I think the situation of the next alliance will be completely doomed.
Watching Yuan Shu and a large group of aristocratic families leave, Chen Xi was amazed. The team of several hundred people were made up of all the aristocratic families and were highly skilled in farming. The Northeastern Plains expedition team that was pieced together made Chen Xi a little confused.
Hot-eyed, this group of people are the best place to be Cookie's subordinates!
[The aristocratic family is really rich. They can actually produce so many good farmers. This group of aristocratic families must not be idle and collect everything.] Chen Xi thought speechlessly.
In fact, Chen Xi's estimation was indeed correct. Although the retainer system is not very popular nowadays, the habit of aristocratic families to keep some skilled people in the family has been retained.
For aristocratic families, there is no guarantee that these people will be used at any time. As long as they save, the cost of raising one person will not be too ridiculous, and sometimes the effect of such a person's explosion is far greater than that.
A little expense, and the aristocratic family does not lack that little money.
Isn't this useful now? Each family pulled out their high-level farming experts and pieced them together to form an inspection group. Then under Yuan Shu's unified dispatch, they were prepared to keep out the cold and directly led this group of people.
Headed by Ji Ling, they headed towards the northeastern plains.
"If the aristocratic families are so united, why bother to do this!" Cui Yan looked at the retreating figure and sighed. No matter what is the reason for the aristocratic families to be united, the aristocratic families are really powerful when united. All kinds of resources can be used to unite them.
come out!
"If the aristocratic family can work together, what do you need me to do?" Chen Xi sarcastically said, "Internal fighting has been our nature for a long time, so it is better for everyone to separate. I have prepared a place for them."
Cui Yan looked at the back of Chen Xi who left with a sneer. To be honest, he was puzzled as to why Chen Xi had such a big reaction to what he said. Didn't he show great kindness when he made an alliance with the family before? How could he?
It became like this in a short while.
Chen Xi went back to the city wall and reported the matter to Liu Bei. Basically, the overall situation was decided. Although it was difficult to completely build Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou with an investment of more than 10 billion, it was necessary to provide relief through work and rationally utilize the people's power.
It is still possible to build the three states with money.
"Zijing, give me a copy of the construction plan for the three states of Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou. I will start the construction of the three states probably in the spring of next year. You should also be prepared for the border area of Youzhou. Yuan Gongli and his team will help to keep an eye on it.
, don’t let him die in Saibei." After Chen Xi announced the matter, he turned to Lu Su and said, he knew very well that Lu Su had a complete construction plan in hand.
"You want to build three states at the same time? No, we may go to war with Xianbei and Wuwan at any time, and unlike the previous defensive wars, we need to occupy the Saibei area. The war method will lead to a substantial increase in investment; and according to our current
With the financial resources, building Jizhou first is the best choice." Lu Su is not Chen Xi's yes-man. He has a deep understanding of many things, so he naturally knows how to choose.
"Wumaru Xianbei needs to be conquered, and Saibei needs to be occupied. Those places also need to be reclaimed. Internal construction cannot be slowed down either. You first give me the road planning, urban construction planning and rural merging plan." Chen Xi pursed his lips in disdain.
He said, settle the money first, everything is ready-made, and then it will be done step by step.
"That is to say, you are planning to inject capital into it again." Lu Su touched his beard and said in a different way, "Actually, Zichuan, your approach is not very good. Zilu Shou Niu, you should know, but you don't
I don’t mind these things, but if the moral standards are set too high, it will harm the overall moral environment.”
"..." Chen Xi was slightly startled, and after a moment's thought, he understood the meaning of Lu Su's words.
In the view of Lu Su and others, from the beginning of Qingxu Construction, Chen Xi began to invest endless money in it without asking for anything in return. This approach has violated the actual moral standards, although in the short term it is of great benefit to the country.
There are benefits, but in the long run, it will harm the overall moral environment of the entire country.
"Oh, don't worry, I will remember to get the money back in the future. This is just a low-interest loan, but the borrower is the country. Don't worry, I will remember to write a note to prove that it is a national debt." Chen Xi
He said casually, but did not notice Lu Su's wry smile.
"The change of Tian Qi and Jiang Qi is to redeem the country. Jiang Qi cannot afford his own country, so the Zhou royal family can only hold their noses and admit it. The same is true for the Zhou royal family's high debt." Li You's expression did not change, but he whispered.
A message was sent to Chen Xi that he and Chen Xi were on the same front.
"Uh..." Chen Xi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. The most concerning thing about the Chen family is that their ancestors had done something to buy the country, and what Chen Xi is doing now seems to be similar.
"It seems you understand." Jia Xu's gloomy voice came over.
In fact, Li You's words also reminded Chen Xi that no matter what method he used, the money he had invested now was already very huge, and it was even enough to bankrupt one or two of the top five wealthy businessmen.
"You don't understand money at all. It's only tens of billions of dollars. With our current level of development, Qingxu County can be repaid in about two years if I personally manage it. What's more, the big man is not just Qingxu County.
State, and Qingxu has not yet reached real prosperity!" Chen Xi said directly. To be honest, he really had no interest in the Chen family's ancestors buying a country.
Chen Xi said what he said in front of everyone, and Liu Bei naturally heard it. He said that he had never thought about what happened. Then he understood what was going on after hearing Li You's impartial explanation.
"Zichuan, how much do you plan to invest in the reconstruction of the Three Prefectures?" Liu Bei did not doubt that Chen Xi had any evil intentions. In fact, Liu Bei looked further ahead than Lu Su and the others. After all, Chen Xi said that there are three familiar things in the world.
He remembered it clearly.
Liu Bei knew that there was no such place in the Central Plains, so that kind of familiar place must be in a foreign country, and since Chen Xi could know it, it would definitely not be too far away. Even if he is a scholar, some things are within the scope of his cognition.
