After Zhuge Liang woke up, he got up and got dressed to go to the Government Affairs Office. Although Guo Jia was just joking, for Zhuge Liang, sleeping or not was not an important matter at all. Even going to the Government Affairs Office to read official documents was not an uncomfortable thing.
"It's really too strong." Zhuge Liang stretched out his hands to put on the thin shirts on his body, then opened the door and walked outside.
After going out, Zhuge Liang looked at the bright light on the east side and paused for a while. Even after being back for so long, Zhuge Liang had to be filled with emotion when looking at the Chang'an Night Market. In the past, as long as it was night, no matter which city it was, there would be a curfew.
It can be said that except for some special New Year festivals, such as the Lantern Festival, curfews are generally implemented at other times, but since Zhuge Liang returned to Chang'an, there has never been a curfew here.
Many large cities in the Central Plains have suspended curfews, and some shops have begun to operate around the clock. As for safety issues, they are gradually being resolved as the country's political system becomes stronger.
Therefore, to this day, in many places in the Han Dynasty, the commercial streets will always keep the lights brightly lit at night. Even to a certain extent, the constant bright lights also shows that the economy is improving. If you can't even make this money back
, even if there is a curfew, businesses will go back to rest.
After all, there are people who do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money.
Zhuge Liang also went to the night market and clearly felt the prosperity of business. You must know that Chang'an's position is not economic, but political. But even so, the prosperity displayed by Chang'an City, which has not yet been fully built, is
Far beyond all areas Zhuge Liang has ever seen.
That's right, it has surpassed the former Fenggao and the former Yecheng.
Speaking of which, Fenggao's economy has been outflowing in recent years. After the unification, bulk commodity trading was once again transferred to Nanyang County. As for the second trading market that Chen Xi once conceived, which was Jiangling County, Chen Xi finally thought about it again and again.
After that, I gave up.
In short, Fenggao does not have an advantage in terms of geography. Even after Liu Bei took control of Chang'an, Fenggao became a veritable capital. However, Fenggao's location meant that it could not become a node for water and land transportation, nor could it become a resource center.
.
This is why Yecheng, Luoyang, and Wancheng quickly became economic centers after changing their policies. The effect of policy support, resource allocation, and natural and convenient transportation made these three places quickly become the largest.
trading market.
Any one of them is bigger than when Fenggao was at its peak, and every tax revenue has steadily exceeded a state. It can be said that if Liu Bei had not left Fenggao, what Chen Xi and others left behind in Fenggao would have been
It is impossible to say that Fenggao, even if it has the name of a companion capital, will be reduced to an ordinary state-level city and will no longer have the scenery it once had.
"Chen Zichuan is indeed powerful. I heard that Yecheng is now known as Qizhongguo. It is far more prosperous than before. It's a pity that I don't have time to see it." Zhuge Liang looked at the flames in the distance, and even relied on the ear power that he had learned from practicing Qi.
Some noisy voices can be vaguely heard.
During the time in Congling, Zhuge Liang had basically built all the military industries by himself, from mining to smelting, plus pastures and farmland. Zhuge Liang's forward base in Congling could maintain enough military power to sweep through the three Western Regions.
Sixteen Kingdoms.
What's more important is that Zhuge Liang built it in three or four years. It can be said that anyone who can achieve this level is proud enough. However, when Zhuge Liang came back and met Chen Xi, he realized that he was
There is still a lot to learn in politics.
The so-called feeling of being close to Chen Xi is just his own illusion. Or rather, it should be said that back then, Chen Xi only held one place in his hand and could not fully display his talents. But now after unification, he has
Chen Xi has room to show off.
This is roughly the feeling of running to death in Wangshan. Especially after going out once, I will understand this feeling more clearly after I come back. Maybe Chen Xi has not become stronger than before, but he was too far away and saw the outline, thinking that
The distance is close, but in fact it is still very far away.
Before returning to the Central Plains, Chen Xi rarely talked about what he had done in his letters. He mostly complained about how he went out to play and was forcibly taken back by someone. He basically did not mention what he was doing recently. There was a sense of unwillingness between the lines.
Feeling dry.
Zhuge Liang just smiled when he saw those things, without any special feeling, and then worked harder to complete the work at hand, hoping to shock Chen Xi when he returned to the Central Plains. However, after returning, when he saw Liangzhou
Zhuge Liang could still accept it, but when Sili arrived, Zhuge Liang became silent.
Without comparison, it would be difficult for Zhuge Liang to realize how powerful Chen Xi was. He had already built ten times the city of Chang'an. He hired a large number of civilians and built the city of Chang'an in just a few years.
To this extent.
That's all. Although the two large palaces renovated by Weiyang Palace are said to be renovations, Zhuge Liang thought that they were simply reconstructions. They can be seen in any corner of Chang'an City. The design height is one hundred meters, and they have been built to seventy meters.
A multi-meter-high palace.
These are all money. In the past, it should be said that these are the people's fat and the people's support. If someone dared to do this in the past, the world would probably be in chaos before it was built. Any waste of people, waste of money, and greed for pleasure would have been hanging on their heads.
But no, not at all. Not only did there not be a big chaos, but there were even people who were eager to continue the construction. Some people even submitted a petition hoping to build such a landmark building in the capital. Then many ministers agreed, and Chen Xi finally rejected it.
"The closer you are to the gods, the more powerful they feel." Zhuge Liang looked at the Temple of Heaven and the Star-Zhaing Pavilion hung with lights, and walked toward the Government Affairs Hall with small steps, muttering to himself involuntarily as he walked.
"Hey, Kong Ming, are you really going to the Government Affairs Office?" Chen Xi, who was drinking in a restaurant outside Weiyang Palace, looked at Zhuge Liang who was alone and said with a greeting with the corner of his mouth twitching twice.
The restaurant next to the outer wall of the palace is just one, open all day, and the main diners are those who work in Weiyang Palace. Chen Xi is not sure about the backstage, but the person who can open this location is either Mi or someone else.
The surname is Zhen, or the surname is Wu.
In the past, it was possible to have a surname of Wei, but now Wei Zi has gone abroad. In China, he is also mainly engaged in steel horses and other businesses. The restaurants have been sold to other people, and Wei Zi has now gone into the construction business, and he looks at this business.
It seems to be very exciting.
If the Temple of Heaven and the Star-Zhaing Pavilion are completed, maybe the Wei family can become the largest real estate developer. How should I describe this profession? Anyway, there will definitely be no shortage of money. From this point of view, the Wei family in Hedong will not only look at people
His vision is a bit different, but his business ability is indeed very strong.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he stopped and looked up. When he saw Chen Xi sticking his head out, he didn't know what to say.
"Come on, that guy Guo Fengxiao is joking with you. As for losing, you lose. That guy is really not an opponent who can win by relying on battlefield tactics." Chen Xi waved to Zhuge Liang and told him to go to the restaurant. Guo Jia himself
It's not a good thing, it's even worse than Chen Xi.
Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then went to the private room on the second floor. It was obviously a restaurant open all day, but in fact there was no one there.
"Guo Fengxiao, you guy, Kong Ming, sit down." Jia Xu smiled and cursed at Guo Jia, first handed the pot to Guo Jia and said.
Zhuge Liang was somewhat silent after he sat down. It was obvious that the previous failure was not as easy to let go of as Zhuge Liang said. Even though he had been very open-minded in front of Lu Xun and others, now in front of these people, there is really no need to pretend to be himself.
It doesn't matter.
"Don't worry, we all lost. Liu Ziyang cooperated with General Zhu and had his head shaved. Your master Li Wenru was hacked to death by the other party with twenty thousand against six thousand or eight thousand. Guo Fengxiao didn't dare to fight at all. He said he was waiting for Guan Yunchang.
In fact, I thought it would be easier for Guan Yunchang to destroy the dream than to defeat the opponent." Jia Xu poured Zhuge Liang a glass of wine and said calmly.
"You should win." Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi and said. He didn't even ask about the situation of Jia Xu, Fazheng, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, and went straight to Chen Xi.
"I caught the loophole in his dream and won." Chen Xi sighed and said.
"The plan is correct, and the materials are definitely produced, but even if I find this loophole, I still can't win." Zhuge Liang said disappointedly. It's not that he didn't find the loophole, but he couldn't use it even if he found it.
"The map is too small. It's impossible for a state to be defeated." Chen Xi said angrily, why did this damn kid become so stubborn at this time?
"I've done the calculations. If we carry out the deduction in the land of thirteen states, with the efficiency of the other party's seriousness, I am afraid that in the end, if I develop it, it will be two states defeating eleven states. I have seven states and he has six states. I
The time he spent developing was enough for him to capture the five states." Zhuge Liang sighed and said.
Han Xin has nothing else, he is just a quick success that does not require military training, plus a guarantee of victory in battle, but the combination of the two has a crazy development time. Zhuge Liang has calculated that with the previous efficiency, the opponent may only need to conquer the six states.
In half a year to more than half a year, can you develop this?
Chen Xi was silent. He actually couldn't calculate such a thing, but since Zhuge Liang said that the other party could capture the five states, it was basically true. This also means that if Han Xin initially had seven states and his national power was better than Zhuge Liang, then Zhuge Liang would
It died suddenly before it even developed.
As for the situation where Zhuge conquered the land of seven states, the two developed states would be in trouble against the eleven states. The other party could afford to do whatever they wanted, which was a huge advantage in national power.
"I'll teach you how to kill eleven states with two states." Chen Xi glanced at Jia Xu and others, and then said slowly, "Internal affairs are king!"
