Chapter 1857: Breaking Cao Cao's Cognition

"If you are so sure, then I won't say much else, and if you have any ideas, let's hear them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Hearing Chen Xi say that he was sure to control the Western Regions, Cao Cao also became interested, the Han family conquered the Western Regions more than once, but in the end, every time it was inevitable to lose, the reason for this, five words, the emperor is far away.

"The method is very simple, build roads and garrisons and migrate and assimilate, and don't play the previous set of remote collars, directly seal, exile This criminal law is known, we can do it, and some of the great merits and great faults are not easy to deal with, and they will be exiled there." Chen Xi said with a flat expression.

"That's not enough, just a year of exile, how many people can be exiled, one or two hundred people survived, it can't be more." Cao Cao shook his head, not too optimistic about Chen Xi's proposal.

"The way we go into exile is to bring family, friends, servants, slaves, and so on." Chen Xi said with a faint sneer on his face, [With the current frame of the empire, it won't be long before those frontiers are no longer frontiers, and the so-called exile is more of a fool. 】

"Is this still called exile?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Chiyang Hou and Meiyang Hou, they should be regarded as exiled." Chen Xi looked at Cao Cao calmly, Cao Cao's brows were furrowed, he somewhat understood why Liu Bei said, the most incredible thing about Chen Xi was his way of thinking.

"If that's what you say, it's not wrong." Cao Cao nodded and said, "It's just that if you say something like this, I'm afraid it will cause criticism." ”

"Then forget it, let's use the normal method, that is, the garrison I mentioned before, and then move those people back and let our people move over." Chen Xi spread his hands and said, "Anyway, we are close to 50 million people, and we are very stable in all aspects of society and culture, so we can digest these people casually." ”

"Of course, if you don't want to move to the Central Plains, I'm happy to give them away." Chen Xi said with a faint flirtton, to be honest, he needs those unyielding people to fight against the evil of the Han family with the so-called justice.

Of course, as for who is the real evil, it can only be said that the heroes of the other, my demons, and the people who write history must be the survivors, morality or something, it also needs to be packaged, at least Chen Xi doesn't think they are evil.

"In this case, it is not impossible for people to stay and then develop by us, but there is also such a problem, how to rule, even if it is the same kind of language, it is inevitable that it will need to be showcased." Cao Cao seems to have agreed with Chen Xi's approach, but he is still a little worried about the hidden dangers caused by this approach.

"That's why we have to build a road, I want to come to Cao Gong also knows that a twelve-driving straight road, if it is from Chang'an to Yecheng, how much time will be saved between the two sides." Chen Xi replied calmly.

"It's just that building a road to the Western Regions like this, I have to think about whether it is cost-effective, from Chang'an to the Western Regions is not less than 10,000 miles, and the benefits that can be obtained by building such a road in the Central Plains are completely two degrees." Cao Cao shook his head and said, he was not interested in Chen Xi's proposal.

The prosperity under Liu Bei's rule, even Cao Cao could not deny that a lot of it was because of the wide county roads that ran through most of the county towns, and those roads actually connected Liu Bei's rule, and also made the material exchange and soldier dispatch in various regions much easier.

In the same way, it also makes the government decree and rule a lot easier, and it has great benefits for stabilizing the forces, these are the places that Cao Cao looks at very hotly, but unfortunately there are only a few places where the cement factory is under Liu Bei's rule.

Liu Bei didn't sell cement, even if it was a strategic material, occasionally Chen Xi would start to sell it with a brain draw, but as far as Cao Cao got the cement, that is, he built two roads from Chang'an to Nanyang and to Hanoi.

As for other places, Cao Cao can get cement is just that, even the two particularly important roads did not dare to be built according to the standards of national highways and county roads, and the roads of the four drivers are also the standard of county roads in Chen Xi's eyes, even so Cao Cao clearly felt the convenience of the roads, but unfortunately he had no choice if he wanted to repair more.

Although Xun Yu later also thought of using Qin Shi Huang to build straight roads for other places as much as possible, it is a pity that if that kind of road wants to be smoothed and not eroded by muddy water, it is too difficult to build, and the cost is more expensive than buying cement from Chen Xi.

Of course, the terrible level of construction of the Qin people, if it is really built in accordance with the highest requirements of the Qin Dynasty, it is actually worth it if it is counted as a service life.

When the Qin Dynasty repaired the three bridges of the Wei River, it was used from the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, and it was not damaged.

Of course, Dong Zhuo also destroyed the bridge deck, and the bridge foundation was not damaged, so when Cao Cao came to Chang'an, he repaired it, and the bridge was ready to use again, and then the bridge was repaired by successive dynasties, until the end of the Han Dynasty 700 years later, at the end of the Five Dynasties, the bridge was really destroyed.

Therefore, it is really necessary to build according to the standards of the laws of the Qin State, and the standard wood and stone buildings are not deliberately destroyed, and they are maintained according to the requirements, and the building has a service life of a thousand years......

Of course, that is, the construction method of the Qin Dynasty is not scientific at all, and in the end, Xun Yu can only tamp the road under Cao Cao as much as possible, and wants to compare with Chen Xi's inferior cement road, no matter how inferior it is, it is much better than the dirt road.

Therefore, to build a national highway level road that is thousands of miles long to the Western Regions, in Cao Cao's opinion, it is better to hand it over to him to repair the road under his rule.

"If you repair it in China, there are indeed many benefits, but if you repair it to the Western Regions, we will leave a piece of land for future generations." Chen Xi didn't show a special expression in response to Cao Cao's question, and instead asked another question for Cao Cao to answer.

"That being said, I just don't think it's worth it. The 36 countries of the Western Regions do have their rich side, and the benefits of building such a road are not small, but if they are repaired in China, the value is greater. Cao Cao went around and around, and finally fell on whether it was worth it or not.

Chen Xi pressed his temple, and he suddenly remembered what the price of his cement was, which seemed to be the same price as grain, that is, it was about dozens of times more expensive than the cost.

In this way, in Cao Cao's opinion, paving a road from Chang'an to the Western Regions, the actual price is basically a hundred times that of Chen Xi's cognition.

Chen Xi's burning of this thing is actually one of the main schemes that Chen Xi uses for work-for-relief, but because Chen Xi dismantled it, the people who work don't know what they are doing, anyway, if there is no machine, it can be turned into a labor-intensive industry.

In addition, these parts of Chen Xi are playing integration, upstream and downstream are basically involved, and in the end, you can get back the money you spend, in terms of cost, if the upstream and downstream add up, I'm afraid Chen Xi, who has a low cost, is embarrassed to say.

As for the cost of manpower, is this considered a cost? The country is called human resources, anyway, these people finally either saved the money, or spent the money under Chen Xi's rule, as far as the result is concerned, as long as the value of production capacity is greater than wages, and the value of excess production capacity is used by the country, then for Chen Xi, the national industry is prosperous, and the people are living in a well-off life.

As for the so-called overcapacity, wash and sleep, if you don't enter the industrial revolution, you won't even have an economic crisis, and to be honest, the economic crisis is a dream that will never come for countries that have not entered the industrial revolution.

In other words, in Chen Xi's view, Cao Cao's so-called high cost is a little bit in the short term, but if you really want to talk about it in the long run, you will make sure you don't lose money, and Chen Xi will not do loss-making business.

"Ahem, Xuandegong, can I say no." Chen Xi turned his head to look at Liu Bei.

"That's one of your family's estates." Liu Bei said calmly.

"Well, only a few places are my family's, and the rest are controlled by the state bank, although they are also managed by me, but the essence is still different." Chen Xi explained casually.

Liu Bei shook his head and didn't say anything, whether it was controlled by Chen Xi or managed by Chen Xi was of great significance to future generations, but it was of little significance to Liu Bei.

"What the hell are you two playing?" Cao Cao frowned and looked at Chen Xi and Liu Bei, these two guys could communicate a lot of things with just simple words.

"Actually, let's put it this way, the cost of this, if you really want to say it, is very low, very low, so low that it is almost negligible, just like I was able to push the price of salt to one stone and one hundred dollars in Chang'an, in fact, as long as I am willing, I can make a small profit for ten dollars with one stone." Chen Xi said with a slightly proud expression.

"What?" Cao Cao was taken aback, with such an analogy, Cao Cao instantly understood what Chen Xi was going to say.

"And how much can you push this price down?" Cao Cao took a deep breath and asked.

"If it is calculated according to the country, these data can be directly erased, if it is directly talking about money, in fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the single digit is actually profitable, and the current three digits are actually profitable, as for the current three digits, there are some money grabbing." Chen Xi scratched his cheek and said.

Cao Cao was dumbfounded, what Chen Xi said was true, then he was really going to vomit blood, and looking at Chen Xi's face, he knew that the other party didn't mean to joke, that is, what Chen Xi said was true, Cao Cao's face was obviously swollen.

"Then dare to ask how much does white porcelain and glass mirrors cost?" Cao Cao is a hero after all, so he swallowed it in one go, looked at Chen Xi and said.

Chen Xi hesitated, raised his index finger, and then put his hand flat, Cao Cao was about to spit out a mouthful of blood immediately, it was really the same as before, that is, the so-called, the cost was so low that it fell below the bottom line of normal people, how did this happen.

Cao Cao turned his head to look at Liu Bei, Liu Bei sighed, made an expression that I was also stunned at the time, and then turned his head silently, Cao Cao was completely speechless.
