If Chen Xi's dismissal of Liu Ba from the post of Minister was unexpected and reasonable, then Chen Xi's allocation of 22 billion to Liu Ba to build the Yanmen Coal and Iron Company was really unexpected.
Everyone expected it.
A few years ago, the position of a third official only cost 100 million to 1 billion, and a minister could earn 30 million and directly allocate funds to establish the Yanmen Coal and Iron Company. This is a real job.
Although Liu Ba can be regarded as the real minister of power, it depends on how he compares with it. Of course, the position at Chang'an Bank was removed, which is a bit heartbreaking. But the problem is that Chen Xi has gone from Yecheng to Chang'an. He won't take these banks.
It's a ghost thing if it's all integrated into one.
When the time comes, Chen Xi will be the only one among the current three bank presidents. Even if Liu Ba is determined to make a difference in this area, I am afraid that others will choose Chen Xi to take over. In other words, the so-called president of Changan Bank is
It's destined to be taken down.
Under such circumstances, Chen Xi mobilized Liu Ba to form the Yanmen Coal and Iron Company, which was a real job offer. What's more, Chen Xi made it clear that he would take half of the positions and Liu Ba would arrange the remaining positions himself.
In the past, it would have been the arrangement of the feudal officials.
This is a smelting plant with an investment of more than 20 billion. Half of the positions are assigned to you, but the power is clearly given to you. It is not the kind of overt promotion and covert promotion. In an instant, everyone felt that Chen Xi had said that he wanted to deal with Liu Ba.
It's just a joke.
This kind of arrangement is proper because Liu Ba and the Coal and Iron Department are allowed to open smelters, mines and production workshops at will. In the Central Plains, if you produce iron, are you afraid that you won't be able to sell it? Someone will take over whatever you have.
, fat difference, there is no doubt that this is a real fat difference.
"Okay, I'm done. After that, you start to do the design and planning. I will give you some support and a job list. We will fill in part of it. You can ask Wen Ruo to fill in the rest for you."
After Chen Xi finished speaking, he sat down directly and began to pretend to be dead.
"In terms of sales, do I control it?" After Chen Xi finished speaking and sat down, Liu Ba asked directly. He had already seen Zhou Yu preparing to stand up and stopped him first.
For Liu Ba, this is more than the money, the support of these materials, and the support of these craftsmen, half of which he has accumulated through hard work. Chen Xi wants to share half of it, and Liu Ba has nothing to say.
Regardless of whether he is a successful king or a defeated bandit, or the support Chen Xi is willing to give, he is qualified enough to take half of it. But if you, Zhou Yu, want to plan part of it, you must wait until I finish speaking before you speak. I will definitely give it to you, but I absolutely cannot
Let you speak first.
"As for the sales outlet, you can find someone yourself. I won't equip you here. I guess you also have channels and dealers." Chen Xi said calmly.
Chen Liuwei's family, that is, Weizi's family, that Cao Cao die-hard named Haoshang, is actually a family of the aristocratic family. Even if their family dismantled sales channels and drained all their money to support Cao Cao's change of clothes, the current situation is
, as long as they are willing to come back, they will still be the top wealthy businessmen. After all, they have not withdrawn from the contract signed by the Chamber of Commerce!
Although when the sales channels were dismantled and the money was withdrawn, I had made it known to the Chamber of Commerce that I would not participate in the so-called Central Plains Three Hundred Merchants Meeting or anything like that next time, but isn't it not the next Central Plains Merchants Collective Consultation Meeting yet?
Just saying something like that is not important at all. The only important thing is whether he is eliminated or not. What's more, with the Coal and Iron Division, Cao Cao needs a trustworthy and capable businessman to help deal with this.
As long as Cao Cao needs it, Wei Zi's integrity can be maxed out. Anyway, Wei Zi and Liu Ba were among the few people whose brain circuits were not understood during the Three Kingdoms period.
At most, Wei Zi does not engage in ordinary business, but specializes in the military. This is also business, and the most profitable business in the world will always have such a regulated arms industry.
"No problem. We have high-quality distributors here and a very good reputation. We will solve this problem ourselves. By the way, we don't have to worry about the road at this time. We will build one." Liu Ba said decisively.
In order to transport materials out, building a road or something, really just depends on whether the materials are worth it, and investing more than 20 billion yuan in a super-large coal and iron company is completely worth it.
Anyway, now Liu Ba also understands that money in his hands will become less and less valuable. Only by investing it can he have the possibility of making money. When it is time to spend money, you must not be stingy.
Isn't it just a road? To put it bluntly, there are gold and silver mines in the Sichuan-Sichuan Mountains. If they cannot be transported out, there is no point in having more. But as long as they are transported out and converted into money, ten roads to get there will be built.
.
However, many times, the problem that restricts the prosperity of these places is how to get the money to build the first road. Liu Ba didn't understand this before, but now he understands it, and his natural understanding becomes that no matter what is to be built, it must be built first.
The road goes by.
"Okay, there is no problem in this regard." Chen Xi nodded, "I will not participate in the rest. I will only provide you with the corresponding technical personnel and half of the management staff. You can do the rest yourself.
, I’ll give you one year to arrange manpower.”
Even though Chen Xi was talking about this, everyone present didn't know that Chen Xi was clearly asking Liu Ba to get a semi-private land.
"Gong Jin, if you want to say something over there, don't say it now. Let's talk about it later." After explaining Liu Ba, Chen Xi turned to warn Zhou Yu who was about to speak.
After Chen Xi finished speaking, Liu Ba was satisfied. He just had to keep his part of what Zhou Yu wanted to say next. However, he didn't expect that before Zhou Yu spoke, Chen Xi warned Zhou Yu in advance not to interfere in this matter.
Zhou Yu frowned when he heard this. Although he didn't understand the reason, in view of Chen Xi's unbiased attitude and the moral level he had shown for a long time, Zhou Yu nodded and said nothing more.
"I'll explain to you later." After Chen Xi saw Zhou Yu nodding, he directly sent a message to Zhou Yu to explain. If Zhou Yu is willing to understand, then Chen Xi will naturally give him face.
"Okay." Zhou Yu's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"This part is over, let's move on to the unified issues." Seeing that everyone had accepted Chen Xi's handling of Liu Ba, Liu Bei decisively dismissed it with a wave of his hand, and then gave Lu Su a look.
"The unification of the country has become a foregone conclusion after we united our forces and put aside our grudges. Our next expansion will be based on the west, so we do not plan to move the capital." Lu Su stood up and began to explain,
And everyone expressed their understanding when they heard the words.
After all, Chang'an has been the capital of the country for a long time, and considering the current environment, it is indeed very suitable. Besides, we need a reason to move the capital.
"But we plan to re-plan the city of Chang'an. The current Chang'an should be regarded as the inner city in our plan." Lu Su said calmly. Cao Cao and others' eyelids couldn't help but twitched twice, and they all had doubts in their hearts. It was necessary to build a city.
Is it that big?
In fact, this aspect was Chen Xi's plan. Although others were puzzled, they still agreed with the plan. In fact, Chen Xi had a very good reason, that is, the area surrounded by the city wall of Xi'an in later generations was actually the inner city of Chang'an, the ancient capital.
.
In the Tang Dynasty, the inner city of Chang'an City was surrounded by the remaining city walls. Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was far not as big as Chang'an City in the later Tang Dynasty. But how can I put it, Chen Xi was confident that the economy and culture of the Han Dynasty would be transformed.
If the prosperity reaches that level, no, it should be far beyond that level, and the territory will be even more exaggerated than when the Tang Dynasty brought vassal states.
Speaking of which, the Han and Tang Dynasties were so terrifying. Sometimes, it is really difficult for future generations to understand the concept of such a huge country without reading the classics and relying only on their own imagination.
After all, it is difficult for future generations to have the mentality of truly standing at the top of the world and looking down on the heroes, so that even if they look at the classics, they will have doubts.
"Guligan is located in the north of the vast sea in the north. Two qinjin live together. There are 4,500 victorious soldiers and more than 10,000 people. There are many lilies in the grass. The land is famous for its horses. The country is connected to the ice sea in the north. The days are long and the evenings are short. The sun is gone.
, the sky is so bright that it takes a long time to cook a lamb's scalp, but it's already dawn in the east."
What is this concept? In fact, I cook meat at night, and the mutton is not cooked yet, and the sky is clear, and the north is connected to the ice sea. After contacting the context, I know what place I am talking about.
In fact, those who know geography should know very clearly after reading the last sentence. This describes the situation of extreme daylight in the Arctic Circle, and this place is the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. However, even if there are clear records in history books, when the ancient map was drawn
At that time, no one dared to draw like this.
This is a true portrayal of the ancestors being so powerful that future generations dare not admit it, because if they did, they would probably lose their face.
Such a huge feudal dynasty itself existed in history, and it actually ruled such a territory. It was different from the conquest of the Mongols further away, but it ruled in a practical sense.
Since someone can do it, and Chen Xi has the same ideal, he dares to do such a thing. The empire that ruled such a huge territory back then had such a huge capital, so in the future, the empire that ruled an even larger territory would
The Han Empire was bound to have a matching capital, and first it was built to the size of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.
"In terms of urban planning, we have already completed it here. It will be built after field survey and revisions. It is expected to take three to five years to build." Chen Xi explained, "The speed here will not be too fast. Everyone
You can rest assured.”
"In this case, there is no problem on our side. As the saying goes, there is no majesty without magnificence. For others, large-scale construction projects may damage the country's foundation. For you, it may also bring prosperity to the country. We support it."
