Today's Chang'an City is full of conspiracy, it may be full of traps, all pits, if you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss and can no longer turn over.

And in this atmosphere where a big event can erupt at any time, there are all kinds of drunken fans, and everyone is enjoying luxury and happiness.

Among them, Lu is a model.

At the same time, everyone is working hard and developing well.

After the Battle of Luoyang, Liu Bei and the others also brought back a lot of things from Luoyang, most of which were not looked down upon by other princes and Dong Zhuo, such as some bulky and difficult to carry equipment in the Jiangzuo Mansion.

Anyway, Liu Bei, no matter how slow they ran with those things at that time, no one dared to do anything to them.

Except for Dong Zhuo, if the other princes did not unite, there would be no way to cause much damage to Liu Bei.

Therefore, these various instruments dragged back from Luoyang have become the focus of the craftsmen who have recently merged with the state.

In addition to the craftsmen studying and learning these good things brought back from Luoyang, other workers also continue to build the future Jinyang City on the construction site outside Jinyang City.

The inner city is now extremely prosperous, and some people even call it Little Luoyang.

And after Luoyang was destroyed this time, to a certain extent, Jinyang has also become one of the most prosperous cities in the north today.

Of course, after all, this is also a big city built by Liu Bei's group with the strength of merging states.

In fact, more of the people who were willing to relocate in the previous merger state came to Jinyang and became residents of Jinyang, while in Xihe and Yunzhong, there were actually more non-merge natives, and more of them were resettled in those foreign laborers who were transferred to the official residents of the merge state after the labor reform.

However, in addition to urban construction, Chen Chen feels that the construction of spiritual culture cannot be neglected.

Now not only the labor force of the people in the entire state of Bingzhou has moved, but even Chen Chen, a guy who paddles all the year round and often drops the line and hangs up, is very serious about planning at the desk

One of the most important is the establishment of the Taihang Martyrs Monument.

The inspiration naturally came from the monument to the people's heroes in the previous life, and Chen Chen also wanted to borrow this form so that Liu Bei's group, a warlord group integrating military and government, could become a general existence of faith in Bingzhou.

Combining the military with the government and establishing faith is the tone set by a certain great man for our army.

Chen Chen is now just painting cats according to tigers, how far he can go, it still depends on the construction of basic education, you must know that most of the people in this era are illiterate, if you want them to establish faith, you must first let them be able to eat bread.

Well......

Chen Chen sat up straight suddenly, it seemed to be a big problem to let them eat bread, but it didn't seem to be a big problem to let them eat steamed buns!

Steamed bread!

How did you forget about it?

Although I don't know if the steamed bun was really researched by Zhuge Liang when he quelled the Southern Barbarian Rebellion as rumored, if Chen Chen took it out at this time, wouldn't it be Chen Chen's own thing?

But how to make steamed buns?

Chen Chen had never made steamed buns in his previous life, but he knew some steps more or less, and it is estimated that he still needs to do some practical operations to get the final result.

Chen Chen thought about it for a while, most of the steamed bread is made slowly with flour, sugar and water, and it still needs to be fermented to become real steamed bread.

But how exactly is this ratio added?

Although Chen Chen usually likes to cook, like his family, who basically doesn't eat steamed buns, naturally he doesn't know how to make steamed buns.

After the construction of the Taihang Martyrs Monument was completed, he planned to bring a few bags of flour milled from wheat after the autumn harvest and go into his yard, planning to study it himself.

Now it is better to do a good job in the design of the Taihang Martyrs Monument.

Regarding the design of the Taihang Martyrs Monument, Chen Chen's idea is to make this monument more symbolic.

Existence as a spectacle significance.

Memorials, monuments, and designs for the Hall of Light and Valhalla.

According to Chen Chen's own ideas, the monument is built on the mountain facing Jinyang, and a worship ladder will be built from Jinyang to the direction of the Martyrs' Mountain, and the monument can be worshiped directly to the top of the mountain.

The main thing is to choose a mountain next to Jinyang, build a martyr's monument, and fence it down at the bottom of the mountain, as a memorial hall, people who come to worship the martyrs need to pass through the memorial hall and then climb the ladder of worship, the top of the ladder is the martyr's monument, and the monument is followed by the Han Guangming Temple.

The spiritual positions of all martyrs and deceased meritorious people will be listed in the Valhalla City behind the mountain, and if there are people who have made great contributions, the spiritual positions can enter the Hall of Light behind the monument after death, and the meaning of the Hall of Light is that the people who are enshrined in this Hall of Light are the pioneers who have been bringing light to the Han Dynasty.

The monument will only be engraved with the words of the Taihang Martyrs Monument, and nothing will be engraved directly on it.

Chen Chen believes that as long as the monument is officially completed, the soldiers will be proud to be placed in the Valhalla after death, which is a kind of power of faith.

In front of the monument, a bronze tripod will be placed, which is specially used to worship incense, which is dedicated to all the martyrs, all the heroic spirits who live here.

And the mountain on the back of the monument is to build Valhalla without building roads, and in addition to the management of special personnel, ordinary people will not be allowed to come and disturb the long sleep of these martyrs.

In addition, the person in charge of the Hall of Light and the Memorial Hall will check every day whether the incense before each spiritual position has been broken.

On this basis, Chen Chen also established another set of incense offering system.

After passing through the memorial hall, on both sides of the ladder, there will be many horizontal passages like terraces, and there will be small temples of the same size built on the horizontal paths, which are for the martyrs who have more outstanding merits, but have not yet reached the height of the temple of light, to visit the spiritual position.

These temples allow these martyrs to receive their own incense.

If they have descendants, they will be able to come here from time to time to renew the incense.

If many members of a family have joined the army and become martyrs, they can also apply for a temple to be used by the family as a family unit to be worshiped by future generations.

And Valhalla is actually more for those unknown martyrs who have no family or are not alive.

They will have a group in charge.

It is believed that such a monument should be able to give the soldiers and people who joined the army a sense of belonging and faith, which is also part of Chen Chen's plan to establish faith for the people of Bingzhou and do a good job in spiritual and cultural construction.

Of course, when Chen Chen took this plan to Liu Bei.

"Sir is really attentive."

Liu Bei carefully looked at the drawings and detailed instructions handed to him by Chen Chen, and indeed recognized Chen Chen's plan in his heart, because this kind of plan can appease the families of battle-damaged soldiers, and can also make the army more united and cohesive.

"This plan is good, and I support it."

But Liu Bei rarely didn't agree directly, if it was before, Chen Chen only needed to mention it, Liu Bei would definitely agree, but this time he didn't.

Chen Chen blinked his eyes, looking at Liu Bei like an innocent deer, which made Liu Bei even more embarrassed to speak.

"It's just that this plan may not be implemented in a short period of time......"

Liu Bei thought about it, and still had to talk to Chen Chen, otherwise Chen Chen had been coming up with good plans to make his heart itch, but there was no way to start implementing these plans immediately, which made Liu Bei even more uncomfortable.

It's like halfway through a speech, and it's very uncomfortable.

"Why?"

Chen Chen asked puzzledly, although the construction of this kind of spectacle in the previous life, it may be said that it is a waste of money and labor, but the strength of the migrant workers in this world has been improved, this kind of engineering Chen Chen has calculated, as long as the migrant workers work seriously, the time and loss to complete this spectacle are acceptable, and it will not reach the level of making the migrant workers break their muscles and bones.

And this plan didn't have any bad effects, why did the Xuande Guild hesitate?

"It's... Alas, Xiaoxian has complained more than once that the continuous expansion of the outer city of Jinyang has made Taiyuan's finances not very good, and the local products of Taihang Academy have not yet been realized, and the Taiyuan County Government needs to allocate funds to Taihang Academy to maintain research and daily teaching, so there should be no extra money for the time being to build this kind of wonder. ”

It's really not that Liu Bei is unwilling to support Chen Chen, but now he is really shy.

The entire state is also rich in Taiyuan and Shangdang, and Shangdang is not much rich, and now the resources are concentrated in Taiyuan, but the financial situation of Taiyuan County Government is still not optimistic.

Even he himself was anxious.

In fact, he has never had much economic concept, which can be seen from the fact that he used to stuff money everywhere on the street, Liu Bei really has no experience and no talent in this aspect of economy.

Now that Mao Jie finally can't withstand the economic pressure, he occasionally spits out his bitterness with Liu Bei, and Liu Bei really doesn't know what to do.

He went to ask Xun You, and Xun You was not very good at economics.

still asked Lao Guo and asked Lao Guo to help adjust the economic distribution of the state, which can be regarded as helping Mao Jie's economic predicament in Taiyuan County.

But even if it is alleviated, the economic pressure on the Mao level is still very great.

One thing to say, he is not a person who is used to doing economics.

And Chen Chen was in retreat some time ago, Liu Bei didn't know what Chen Chen was doing in retreat, but he felt that although the economic problems were tricky, they were not serious enough to disturb Chen Chen's retreat, so he didn't tell Chen Chen.

Now Chen Chen is taking out his own ideas one by one, and each idea requires a lot of money and manpower to support, Liu Bei really feels that there is no way not to tell Chen Chen.

I don't know if Mr. has a way to solve economic problems, Mr. has always been able to surprise himself, Liu Bei still has great hopes for Chen Chen.

As for Xun You, Mao Jie, and Guo Jia, they are not good at economics, but it does not mean that they are not good at government affairs.

In fact, in this era, government affairs are not completely linked to the economy, and people who can handle government affairs well do not mean that they can do a good job in the economy.

And throughout the entire Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Three Kingdoms, in fact, there have been few particularly talented talents in economic aspects.

This may be the limitation of the times.

Nowadays, people do not have a very clear understanding of economics, and they can only cross the river by feeling the stones through their own understanding, judgment, and reasoning.

"Is it like this?"

Chen Chen was thoughtful, he took into account the limitations of the background of the times, and he understood why Mao Jie shouted that he had no money.

Because it is true that the state itself does not have much money to come up with.

"That's fine, I'll go and ask Xiao first."

Chen Chen rolled up the drawings and plans on the table, he was going to talk to Mao Jie about how to deal with the economic situation, and after dealing with the economic dilemma, there was hope for the martyr's monument he envisioned.

"Huh? All right. ”

Liu Bei touched the empty table, in fact, he still wanted to leave the drawings and plans to continue to study carefully.

Chen Chen's idea is indeed very meaningful, and Liu Bei can't wait for a ready-made Taihang Martyrs Monument to pop up directly next to Jinyang now.

Chen Chen put the drawings and plans in his pocket, and found Mao Jie, who was still diligently handling government affairs.

As Guo Jia went to the countryside from time to time to investigate the people's situation, and after coming back, he would help deal with some tricky government affairs, and after Mao Jie's workload was not so tiring compared to before.

So he silently glanced up at Chen Chen, and then continued to write and draw on the paper.

However, after only a few strokes, Mao Jie immediately raised his head and looked at Chen Chen.

Rare guests!

After returning from the battle of Luoyang, Chen Chen went into retreat, and everyone didn't know what he was doing, but Chen Chen had already dealt with his own affairs in advance on the way back to Taiyuan, so after he retreated, things had been arranged, and everything was going on in an orderly manner.

I didn't expect Chen Chen to come to the county government today.

Merely......

Mao Jie thought about the direction Chen Chen came from, it seemed to be the location of Xuande Gong's office, so after coming out of Xuande Gong, he went straight to himself?

He saw the drawings and plans that popped out of Chen Chen's arms, and saw this familiar plan.

Mao Jie immediately understood the purpose of Chen Chen's visit, not to visit him, but to ask for money.

"If you don't want money, you need to die!"

Mao Jie's neck was stiffened, and his face was facing Chen Chen sideways, Chen Chen was a scoundrel to him, so he would also be a scoundrel to Chen Chen.

"Don't be so excited, sit down first."

Chen Chen smiled, pressed Mao Jie, and put the drawings in his arms in front of him, Mao Jie, he sat down in despair, he was very familiar with this routine, when he said that he wanted to build Taihang Academy, Chen Chen was like this.
