Chapter 522: The Theory of Prices
Chen Feng sat and watched the situation for three months, and what he saw was that those landlords were rising, what he saw was that those powerful people were frantically merging, and what he saw was that the combat strength of the army was declining day by day.
It's only been three months.
What if it's three years?
At that time, will Cao Cao collapse directly?
When thinking of these things, Chen Feng couldn't help but think of the great collapse that happened later when Guan Yu was making crazy contributions in history.
Immediately, he understood where the source of this collapse was.
The main thing is that those wealthy families in Jingzhou have not broken their muscles and bones.
It was precisely because they did not hurt their muscles and bones that they developed rapidly after the end of the war, and gave Guan Yu a backstab after that.
To be honest, when Chen Feng wanted to understand all this, he really had a chill in his back, and he was a little weak for a while.
For as long as he is an orthodox contemporary, this is a completely impossible problem to solve.
Even through war, constant war, this problem cannot be solved.
Fortunately, Chen Feng came from the later generations, so he just glanced at it, and he saw the key to the problem, and at the same time thought of how to solve this problem and preserve the combat power of the army.
But the method that Chen Feng thought of, although it can't be said to be a sword that goes sideways, if it is really sent at the moment, that is, in the era of peace, it is probably impossible to succeed.
Only through war.
In other words, it was during the war that he thought of the method that could proceed smoothly and solve one problem after another.
Moreover, once this problem is resolved, it will certainly last for a long time in the future without worrying about the combat effectiveness of the army.
After seeing such benefits, Chen Feng naturally put forward the argument of fighting a war as soon as possible after three months of rest.
However, of course, what he had in mind could not be told to anyone else.
He could only inform Liu Bei of this idea, and at most add Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Shi Tao.
Meng Jian couldn't tell.
Therefore, after proposing to fight, Chen Feng's whole person began to become excited, "Sun Quan, Xiao Xiong, if you don't attack today, there will be trouble!" ”
"With Sun Quan's current strength, if he is really allowed to rest for three years, then with his relationship with Cao Cao, we will be passive."
"Now it's just right."
"After all, we have just negotiated peace with Cao Cao, and there must be at least half a year of peace in the future."
"In this case, if you don't send troops, you're simply sorry for this God-given opportunity!"
"Let's send troops!"
"Xuande Gong!"
Of course, Chen Feng was acting, and he was very excited to act, just to let those people present see how jealous he was of Sun Quan.
Of course, at this point, no one else will probably feel that there is a problem.
Because Chen Feng has always been extremely wary of Sun Quan since he came out of the mountain.
This is a problem that everyone knows.
So even if his acting skills are not very good, other people will understand, not to mention that his acting skills are very extraordinary, so many people on the spot feel that he should fight this battle.
This even includes representatives of those families, wealthy families, and big landlords who are making trouble.
That's the benefit of fame.
Even if everyone knows that this battle should not be fought, and after it is fought, it will cause the entire Jingzhou, and even most of Yizhou and Jiaozhou to begin to become empty, but because the proposal is what Chen Feng said, others will feel that this battle should be fought and must be fought no matter what.
Ziji is very wrong!
After many years of getting along, Liu Bei was the first to see that Chen Feng was wrong, but he naturally wouldn't expose it, and even turned his head and bowed to Liu Xie very cooperatively.
"What does Your Majesty think?"
Liu Xie looked at Chen Feng: "This battle must be fought?" ”
"I have to fight!"
Chen Feng solemnly bowed his hand to Liu Xie, and at the same time explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Sun Quan has always been very good at recuperating his energy, just like before, none of us thought that he secretly contacted Liu Zhang, and he also sent troops to Jiaozhou. ”
"This is still before."
"Even before, he even pulled Lei Bo and the others into the water."
"Your Majesty thinks that he was like this at the beginning, is it possible that he will change today?"
"Impossible."
Liu Xie subconsciously shook his head, turned to look at Liu Bei and said, "The King of Hanzhong also thinks that he should send troops?" ”
"That's how it should be!"
When Liu Bei spoke, he was originally a little hesitant, but after seeing Chen Feng's eyes, he directly became firm.
Liu Xie insisted, nodded directly, and said: "Since the King of Hanzhong and Aiqing both think so, then let's send troops." ”
Although his approval is useless.
Whether it is Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, they will not take his opinion seriously at all, but with his approval, the matter of sending troops can be regarded as an extra layer of justification.
Next, the court began to discuss some trivial matters.
Normally, this process has to go on for half an hour, which can be regarded as giving Liu Xie a face.
But today, perhaps because Chen Feng walked out and made a major proposal to send troops, the whole process was only walked for less than a quarter of an hour, and it was hurriedly declared over.
As a Liu Xie who has a brain and can see the crux of the problem, his face is naturally very unpleasant, but in the end, he didn't say anything, and silently went back to reunite with the queen.
The court was dispersed.
After that, Liu Bei grabbed Chen Feng and walked to another smaller and more secluded room.
After sitting down, he asked solemnly, "Why does Ziji insist on sending troops?" ”
"It's not for attachment, it's really the current situation, and you can't do it without troops......"
Chen Feng talked about all the problems he had discovered in the past three months, and then said: "So, Feng feels that he can build a ...... through war."
"Closing positions?"
"The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States already exist?"
After listening to Chen Feng's story, Liu Bei was stunned and said: "Even so, why are so many people dying of cold and starvation?" ”
"The punishment is not enough."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "So, what I want is to establish this system through war, and whoever dares to do it will be punished three times...... Forget it, with the benevolence and righteousness of Xuande Gong, let's give them a way to live, and send them to Yazhou first, the place is warm, I originally thought that I would go over to recuperate after the world is calm...... Cheap them too. ”
Of course, this is only one reason, and the other reason is ...... The grain transportation was too slow, and at the same time, the officials of the wealthy families were too treacherous. ”
"Therefore, if you want to change the key to this problem, in addition to increasing the punishment, you must also find a way to get more food."
"I actually already have a way, one is to buy from those small countries around me...... In terms of the shelf life of the grain, this should be achievable. ”
"Second, it is to build more official warehouses and cultivate them by the royal family themselves, so that even if there is another disaster year, food can be quickly allocated...... Of course, this matter is still left to Childe now. ”
"And such a system can only be built in times of war, if not, the opposition of those people will be too great, and for the world that has not yet been unified, this opposition will even directly lead to the collapse of the entire force."
Liu Bei understood.
He instantly gave a thumbs up: "It has to be Ziji, it's so easy to come up with a good way that will not be easy for a lifetime, it's really ...... It's emotional. ”
