When Li Dian pulled Le Jin to become his gay friend, Chen Xi was discussing with Zhou Yu some things that had already been discussed with Cao Cao.
"You said we need 20,000 sailors, and then we can buy cement in an unlimited supply, and the price is only one-tenth of the previous price?" Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi suspiciously, always feeling that Chen Xi seemed to have dug a hole and asked him to go there.
Jump down.
"You should know that even if I give you the navy, it's meaningless. Their families are all in Jiangdong. Even if you have the navy, you won't be able to use it against us. As for training, I remember correctly.
If so, Gan Xingba can be regarded as a first-class general in water warfare." Zhou Yu saw Chen Xi's expression of "If you don't agree, you won't wait after the time limit", he hesitated.
"I'm just asking you if you agree. If you don't agree, forget it." Chen Xi was too lazy to explain to Zhou Yu.
"I agree to three thousand people." Zhou Yu directly cut the number to three thousand. There are many naval forces in Jiangdong, but the so-called asking for a price without concealing the truth and paying back the money on the ground, even though I don't understand what you want to do, why should I give you 20,000?
"You're too stingy, 19,000." Chen Xi glanced at Zhou Yu unhappily. Cao Cao still had to send people to build roads anyway. You, Sun Ce, can't just enjoy the same treatment as Cao Cao without making any contribution.
, then Cao Cao is still not angry to death.
"Four thousand?" Zhou Yu asked tentatively. He found that this seemed interesting.
"I feel like you are completely insincere." Chen Xi said angrily.
"The problem is that you suddenly came over and said this. I have to be sincere. Besides, in Jiangdong, Jiangnan, and Jingxiang, we all row boats and travel by water. Although land-based cement is good, why should I buy it?" Zhou Yu said with a raised eyebrow.
.
"Give me a real price. I really don't believe you don't need it." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.
"Eight thousand people, as long as these eight thousand people are not used against me, even if we have to fight, I will not recall them, let alone instruct them." Zhou Yu crossed his hands and supported his head, his expression
He said solemnly and with dignity.
"Eight thousand, let's just say eight thousand." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, Gan Ning wiped out their navy, and there are eight thousand people in one area. This year, Chen Xi can bring out a navy, "Sign the document
, when signing documents, just use as little as possible.”
"What happened to Gan Xingba?" Zhou Yu suddenly asked after signing.
"No, I just blackmailed Cao Sikong, and I came here to do the same with you." Chen Xi said with a serious face.
"Sure enough, something happened." Zhou Yu stared at Chen Xi for a long time, "Although it is true that he blackmailed Cao Sikong, if nothing happened to Gan Xingba, you probably wouldn't have such a serious expression."
"I really can't hide it from you." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Anyway, I want to scold someone, but I don't know who to scold. I'm really angry."
"It seems like it's not a big deal." Seeing Chen Xi's depressed face and his expression of wanting to curse, Zhou Yu knew that the matter was not a big deal. Otherwise, Chen Xi wouldn't be in the mood to talk so much.
"It's big, okay." Chen Xi said angrily.
"Okay, I have to work, don't disturb me." Zhou Yu glanced at Chen Xi and said.
"How could you do this to me?" Chen Xi said angrily, "Look, I have never kicked you out, and you asked me to help you before, and I helped you. You actually want to drive me away, and you still can't.
Didn’t you do it well? To be honest, it’s best for you to do it.”
Zhou Yu glanced at Chen Xi, "It's true that the general is very good, but how to get those rewards? Who will get them? It doesn't matter in the civil servant system, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not understand these twists and turns, who will get them?"
"It's three families..." Chen Xi answered naturally when he heard this, but when he opened his mouth, he realized there was something wrong. It seemed that he couldn't say this.
"Because the systems of the three parties are different, the rewards are different." Zhou Yu shrugged and said, "And now I am remaking a reward and punishment policy just for this, and I also want to make the soldiers of the three parties who originally enjoyed different reward policies all
I think it’s good.”
"What's even worse is that the system I'm working on now is very likely to become a unified system among the three parties in the future. I'm wondering if I should just copy the military merit title system, but we all know the drawbacks of this system."
Zhou Yu said rather helplessly.
"We all know the biggest disadvantage of the normal military title system, so we later specially reset it with Bonin and the others. Why don't we use the one we had before?" Chen Xi asked with a hint of confusion after thinking for a while.
"Your system is entirely based on your abilities. Although you have canceled or semi-cancelled the rewards commonly used for military titles such as house grants and land grants, your other rewards have completely overshadowed the previous rewards, at least in the short term."
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "You can achieve it, but we can't. And using the oldest method has too many disadvantages."
In fact, what Zhou Yu is talking about now is the biggest drawback of the original twenty-level Qin nobility system. There are too many benefits of this military title system, so I won't mention it anymore, only the shortcomings.
The only disadvantage of this thing is land conferment, but the most essential and core part of this system is land conferment. In order to stimulate the soldiers, the scope of this land conferment is very powerful. A first-class knight does not count the house, and the land conferment is 150
Mu, this title is very easy to get, one enemy head is enough.
In normal war years, this was no problem, but when the dynasty was unified, it became a big pit. When Qin Shihuang sent Wang Jian, Wang Ben and others to destroy the Six Kingdoms, they used no less than a million troops. In the end, the Six Kingdoms knelt down.
.
In a normal war, excluding losses on one's own side, it is indeed impossible for all soldiers to have a knighthood. However, in a war like the Unification War, where even the enemy's hometown is destroyed, there is no doubt that everyone can obtain a low-level knighthood.
Approximately how many titles were created during the war between Qin and the six kingdoms? High-level ones are not included, only low-level ones are counted. There are about one million. These million people are basically among the 20th-level titles.
The third, fourth and fifth levels of nobility, that is, each person has 3, 4, 500 acres, and an average marriage would require about 400 million acres.
From the Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty, there were about eight million hectares of cultivated land in the entire Central Plains, equivalent to 800 million acres. Half of it needed to be distributed to the soldiers who unified the six countries. If the world of the First Emperor was not enough, naturally the First Emperor could only use a lot of it.
The soldiers were demoted to hidden officials.
This is also the reason why the Qin State had no soldiers at all after the death of Qin Shihuang. As for the so-called Great Wall garrison soldiers and the Qin soldiers who were taken away by Zhao Tuo to defeat Baiyue, this is all nonsense. Under the military merit and title system, as long as the Qin State is a man, it is
soldiers.
To put it bluntly, the reason for the lack of troops is that the First Emperor himself failed to fulfill Qin Fa's promise to the Qin people. From a certain perspective, the First Emperor destroyed the credibility of the government established by Shang Yang.
Maybe the First Emperor was still alive and could suppress the resentment of the Qin people by relying on the prestige of pacifying the six kingdoms. But if the First Emperor fell, the Qin State would naturally be doomed.
This is also an important reason why Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others entered Guanzhong. The Qin people had no organization at all. They had paid so much for the country, but in the end the country failed to fulfill its promise. Instead, they fell into heavy labor and were even forced to become capitalists.
An insolvent prisoner.
And this is actually the biggest problem with the military title system. There is no danger before our army gains a crushing advantage. When our army gains a crushing advantage and all soldiers will receive titles, we need to calculate this
Does the country have enough points?
If half of the world is given to these soldiers, even if it can be recovered in only three or four generations, it is impossible for any hero who unifies the world to accept it. Therefore, although the military merit system has many benefits, it really does not
If we engage in a unified war, people will be killed.
"You can't redesign it. It's not realistic at all. It took me and them a long time to figure out our system." Chen Xi looked at Zhou Yu and said speechlessly. Zhou Yu wanted to do this alone. It was really delusional.
All right.
"It is indeed unrealistic, but if we don't redesign it, only yours is the most suitable. But although yours is suitable, it has too many disadvantages for us." Zhou Yu shook his head and said, after all, the three parties are not one party.
"Then it's up to you, it's not my business anymore." Chen Xi didn't want to take over this matter, mainly because it was really too difficult to do, and it couldn't be done by one person in a short time.
"Then you go and do your work, and I'll continue to deal with mine." Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to Chen Xi's expression, and waved his hand.
"We plan to station troops in the Western Region, do you want to send troops?" Chen Xi did not leave, but recounted what Cao Cao said at that time to Zhou Yu, and then asked.
"Garrison, let's forget about it, but we can provide support with personnel." Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, the Western Region is too far away from them, and he is not very interested. Chen Xi also knows about this, and there are more here.
Inform Zhou Yu to prove that Sun Ce did not deliberately conceal his intentions.
"Who are you going to send?" Chen Xi asked.
"You probably want Ziming or Shiyuan to go with a general, right?" Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi and asked. Chen Xi did not hide it and nodded. Faced with a shrewd person like Zhou Yu, there is no point in hiding it.
big.
"Although I don't know what kind of plan you have there, I think I need to take a long-term approach, and as for the military commander, I really need to think about it carefully." Zhou Yu was silent for a while and said with a calm face.
"Okay, then when you have a plan, just let me know. When I hold the lottery later, remember to come and support me." Seeing Zhou Yu like this, Chen Xi did not urge him, nodded and turned to leave, walking away
, said while waving his hands.
[Zhou Gongjin is really arrogant. He actually directly gave me 8,000 navy troops. He is really not afraid that I will use these 8,000 men to train a navy army to defeat him.] Chen Xi thought with a slightly solemn expression.
