Under this situation, when the aristocratic family crosses the country, Zhuge Liang estimates that the old Yuan family may even have saved resources. If their bridgehead takes the path of corruption as a trade center, the violently armed Yuan family will definitely seize the opportunity.
Harvest.
Not to mention that they all made wedding clothes for the old Yuan family, I am afraid that based on the past foundation of the old Yuan family, the possibility of the aristocratic family paying homage to the Yuan family is definitely not small.
In addition, Zhuge Liang has estimated the movements of the Cao family and is probably building a main base now. Even if he wants to hide his lack of movement, since he is located in Chang'an and has all the conveniences at hand, what will be formed by then will definitely be a five-organ base.
A well-equipped base. In this case, if the main base here in Congling chooses the trade corruption route, it will be used as a wedding dress.
Of course, looking at it from the other side, the main base established in the name of the country has become a wedding dress for local forces. When the country is strong, the local forces are probably not far away from death. It is obvious that Sima Yi's goal is the latter. Sima Yi clearly wants to
Take these places back.
"Is that so?" Although Zhuge Liang's explanation was not finished, Chen Gong and Lu Meng actually understood that the biggest conflict between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi's actions was mainly about how to handle the situation in the future. Sima Yi was afraid that he would never have trouble in the future.
"There's no need for this. It doesn't take up so much space. To be precise, even the country has not yet been fully developed. The vast majority of ordinary people are not willing to leave their hometowns. There are very few people who can come here. Those who come out are still
If it is solved, this place cannot belong to us." Zhuge Liang shook his head slowly and said, in his opinion, this kind of thing is not necessary at all.
Chen Gong and Lu Meng looked at each other. The biggest conflict between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi currently lies here. Sima Yi is obviously more radical and wants to integrate the entire Central Plains into the mainland, while Zhuge Liang is obviously different.
, he is relatively more conservative.
"Are ordinary people leaving their homes?" Sima Yi pressed his temples and closed his eyes and said slowly, "Kong Ming, you and I should stop saying these stupid things. I think you should also read the book on population changes in the library.
"
Zhuge Liang nodded silently when he heard this. He and Sima Yi had read more information than Chen Gong and Lu Meng. Whether it was the changes in the household registration population over the years or the relevant comments made by some gods and men, the contents could be said to be chilling.
.
According to the estimates in that book, under the current conditions of good weather, stable social environment, and no war, the population of the Central Plains will double in fifty years, or almost only fifty years.
By the way, the shabby book also mentioned the country's population carrying capacity. Although Sima Yi and Kong Ming both thought it was a bit nonsense when they saw it, but as they stand higher and higher now, they know something
I think about it more and more, and when I think about that book again, I have a deeper understanding of its contents.
To put it simply, the two people now know very well that the content of the book, apart from other aspects, basically has no major mistakes. With the population growing at such a high rate, as long as there is no way to achieve dynamic balance, sooner or later there will be a war.
, releasing the contradictions caused by population pressure.
This is a very scary fact. In fifty years, it only takes fifty years. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi both know very well that in about fifty years, the Central Plains will have a population of almost 100 million. This terrifying number is enough to drive many people crazy.
.
Even if there are 100 million mouths to eat, it will be a big problem. At that time, there must be more land to support these people. As for leaving their hometowns, how can I put it? Even if there are implicit restrictions such as Chen Xi's merger of villages and villages, the country will only have three acres of land for its own family.
The population divided into fields will inevitably expand in the future.
Even with the Great Northeast and the grasslands and pastures, 100 million people is almost the limit of the current carrying capacity of the Central Plains.
Although Sima Yi was not under Liu Bei's rule and had no access to some of Chen Xi's future plans, because of the relevant materials, Sima Yi could roughly guess the load-bearing limit of the Central Plains and the future plans of the Central Plains. Even if Chen Zichuan had the ability to defy the heavens,
, can only raise this limit, and cannot directly violate the laws of nature.
Zhuge Liang knew more about Sima Yi and what the next four five-year plans were mainly about. So compared to Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang still had some estimates of the carrying capacity of the Central Plains. The Central Plains could probably carry 400 million by then.
population.
According to what Chen Xi wrote in the planning book, it would take about 2 million laborers led by the government to spend 15 to 20 years to forcibly transform the south of the Yangtze River. Zhuge Liang only saw the detailed plan once by chance, and it was later dismissed.
Chen Xi hid, but the final result was in the plan.
That is to say, after the so-called large-scale development, the tax revenue in the South should be at least the same as that in the North, and if possible, even surpass the North.
But just looking at the manpower and material resources required to design it, Zhuge Liang's face twitched. Chen Xi definitely regarded it as the project of the century because it was so big.
"Well, I know, I know all this. In fact, I know very well what you think, but it's not necessary, at least not for the first hundred years." Zhuge Liang said slowly.
There is no way to solve the problem of population pressure, but it doesn't matter if it can't be solved. As early as Chen Xi mentioned this system, Zhuge Liang had a faint sense of the problems involved, and I am afraid that Chen Xi is also worried about the future.
"Is that so?" Sima Yi rapped his knuckles and looked at Zhuge Liang in silence. From the tone of the other person's words, Sima Yi heard other meanings and inexplicably thought about the current situation and the situation under it.
's future.
After a while, Sima Yi spoke slowly, and Chen Gong also looked thoughtful. Both of them had some dark guesses.
"Who proposed this plan? Is Marquis Chen alone?" Sima Yi asked.
"No." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said nothing. In fact, Zhuge Liang didn't know how this plan was modified into this, but Zhuge Liang and others now have some guesses about what is hidden behind this plan.
This is a method of cultivating gu, and the scale is larger than before, but compared to the past, this method is safer now, but that is relatively speaking.
"Then I won't say anything." Sima Yi was silent for a while and said slowly. If his plan at the time was to fight with open fire, then now that I think about it, this design was a soft knife from the beginning. But even if the family can see through it, it will definitely
Won't give up.
In the previous era, that is, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when they were still called nobles, they had experienced this situation. Now it is just reincarnation, and compared to the current greatly restricted aristocratic families, disguised as a country
If so, their strength and power will make a huge leap forward.
As for the slight danger, I am afraid that most aristocratic families are mentally prepared and want to take a chance on the future. How can they not prepare for the worst-case scenario.
What's more, even if I mess up, I will fall at the feet of the next door. Since the general trend of the Central Plains is still there, the worst case is that I can go back to the Central Plains and become my family again. Even if the domestic situation is different from what it was before due to poor management.
It's very different. For these old youtiaos who have been together for hundreds of years, it is just a temporary hibernation.
Even if this situation is clearly informed to the family, I am afraid that the family will not be shaken in any way. This is honey. Even if eating too much will cause tooth decay, these people will eat it first before talking about it.
"A testing ground, this is basically a testing ground." Chen Gong raised his forehead and said with some admiration. Using tens of millions of square kilometers of land here as a testing ground, this method is really grand.
"If this is the case, make preparations for the Yuan family and the Cao family to leave the chessboard when the time comes. With such an opportunity, they will take one step at a time, and it is very likely that they will escape from control." Sima Yi said with a little emotion.
"They are the targets. Without them, the target would be us." Zhuge Liang said softly, and the others had no more words to say. Then they nodded silently and decided on the future development direction of the Congling main base.
Just when Zhuge Liang and others were finalizing the future development direction of the main base in Congling, the big bosses of the Chen family, Xun family, and Sima family in Guishang also got some troublesome news from their own channels. To be precise, this is about
It is no longer considered a channel.
About five days ago, Vesutiva I received a letter of alliance from Rome, confirming the current situation. Due to the detention of the Kushan envoys in the Central Plains and the current complicated domestic situation in Kushan, in order to ensure the stable development of the country, Weisu Depo I
Sudeva I convened the country's great nobles for consultation.
Originally, it was very difficult for a country like Kushan to convene the country's great nobles for consultation. It was just a round trip, and it would take more than half a year from convening to gathering the people.
This time it was convened so quickly. In fact, we should be grateful for the previous North-South confrontation, because the commotion was too big. The nobles from the south and the nobles from the north finally gathered in Peshawar. In the end, although the Zoroastrian Archbishop
With Ashayana's persuasion, it came to an end.
But back then, the situation where the swords were at war and the country was on the verge of splitting was really frightening. The northern nobles who took the initiative to stir up trouble were not afraid at all. The upper castes in the south are now sweating coldly when they think about the situation at that time.
Therefore, when Vesudeva I convened a meeting of all nobles, the northern nobles did not know the psychology of the nobles, but the high castes from the south came to attend the meeting immediately.
The agenda of the meeting was not too important, although there were many conflicts between the northern nobles and the southern high castes during the meeting. It even broke out that boundary-breaking masters confronted Vesutiva I in front of him and almost started a fight in the court.
