Chapter 6628: Failure to make people feel at ease(1/2)
Chen Xi's attitude towards Liu Chan is also obviously biased, but he doesn't like to mention this matter very much, but if he chooses one among Liu Chan and Liu Yong, Chen Xi will definitely choose Liu Chan.
After all, Liu Chan is a child who knows the roots and the bottom of his nose. Even if Liu Yong is a god-like figure, he is not sure about Chen Xi's future.
Liu Bei's attitude towards this matter was quite clear, and he didn't want to make trouble. Liu Chan's qualifications were indeed not excellent, but Liu Chan was generous, generous, tolerant, and able to unite relatives and friends. This was enough in Liu Bei's opinion. Liu Bei was still very confident in his ability to identify people. As for Liu Yong, in Liu Bei's opinion, he would talk about it when Liu Yong grows up.
What's more, Wu Yuan didn't have the intention to fight for the throne. She used to be entangled in bed with a daughter, but she couldn't control her human power, so she believed that with Wu Yuan's ability, it would be fine to settle the inner courtyard and house.
"Then I will bring a group of people to Southeast Asia. I will help you deal with any other things." Mi Zhu looked at Chen Xi and asked. After all, Chen Xi has always dealt with some small things when dealing with big things.
"When I passed Jiaozhou, I visited the governor of Shi and spent a day or two asking. The other party would definitely tell you something and then go there again. As for the local area of Southeast Asia, to be honest, there is actually nothing to say, and in my opinion, most people are the kind that cannot be believed in." Chen Xi thought about it and said his thoughts.
"Doesn't there be trustworthy people in Wu now?" Liu Bei frowned and prepared to write a list for Mi Zhu to let Mi Zhu contact him. Although he is not a high-level manager, the intelligence system of the veteran who has smelted the fifth and sixth level is still quite reliable. If you ask more questions, you can still ask some things.
"Yes, yes, Duke Xuande, don't use your internal intelligence system in Wu. Although some things are public intelligence, as long as they are not enabled directly, they can default not to exist." Chen Xi quickly stopped Liu Bei. As soon as Liu Bei took action, the Jiangdong family would find that what they believed to be their own subordinates were Liu Bei's subordinates.
Although they were not all under Liu Bei, more than half of the backbone belonged to Liu Bei, which was too exciting for the Jiangdong family. After all, after the military reform, Sun Ce recruited a large number of backbone veterans from Cao Cao and the Han Dynasty and filled them into his own infantry.
In the eyes of the Jiangdong family, there must be Liu Bei's staff among these backbone veterans, but in Chen Xi's view, this is not a matter of putting in the manpower, but these backbone veterans are all figures that Liu Bei nodded and let go. What about Cao Cao's command, that is Liu Bei's command.
Some large Jiangdong families have also speculated about this possibility, but Liu Bei did not enable this system, so he could be an ostrich and turn a blind eye to it. But if Liu Bei really uses it like this, he has to respond to those who want to pretend to be dead, otherwise the circle will not be able to get through.
"I mean you can find a few leaders and then ask these leaders to help Zizhong collect information." Liu Bei said with a smile. He is not stupid, how could he start the entire line?
"There is no difference." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Although Jiangdong does not have any credible personnel, there are still people outside Jiangdong, Kong Ming."
When Zhuge Liang heard Chen Xi greet him, he knew who the other party was talking to Mi Zhu, "Zi Zhong, you can go to General Cai Degui. Although he has always been under the command of Mr. Wu, he is actually very independent and has always been in charge of the training of the Navy Generals and the connections are very wide in Jiangdong."
People will be promoted when they are alive, especially those who are training on large-scale military affairs like Yu Jin and Cai Mao. The middle and lower classes who have made their way out to worship a mountain are a hot topic. Therefore, as long as the big men in military service have a pair of eyes that are not bad to recognize people, they will naturally accumulate a large number of connections over time.
"Just have an internal staff." Mi Zhu thought about Cai Mao's status in the navy, and confirmed that there was such a person who could avoid a lot of trouble, so he stopped talking about anything else.
After roughly making up everything, Liu Bei and Chen Xi did not stay for a long time and left quickly. Li You and Mi Zhu also brought their teams to Donglai and Southeast Asia respectively. At this time, the northern family, which was well-informed, had received some news. Chang'an was a bit of panic. After all, that was Zhou Yu, but Liu Yan. Such a thing would really kill the whole family.
"Zichuan, this is the way to Weiyang Palace. I thought you were going out of the palace." Liu Bei himself had nothing to do, so he took Liu Chan with him and prepared to leave the palace with Chen Xi. But after walking a little bit, he found that the direction was reversed.
"Go to meet the eldest princess. Since some things have been told in the Zhengyuan, you need to vent your princess, and you also need to find Han Mou." Chen Xi had no intention of hiding Liu Bei's words. He told the truth. After all, Liu Tong still needed to cooperate.
"Yes." Although the official history documents and approvals must be issued later, it is better to communicate with Liu Tong before this.
"Is there something wrong with Han Mou?" Compared to the Tianzhangzhang, Liu Bei was obviously more concerned about the situation on the cookie side. After all, if something happened to the former, it would be troublesome at most. The latter normally had no sense of existence, but if something really happened, it would be much more serious than the former.
"The problem of reserve grain is not a big problem." Chen Xi waved his hand and said. The implementation of the final plan puts great pressure on the logistics of grain and grass. In terms of weapons and equipment, Chen Xi is already processing and adding some production. When the time comes, Chen Xi will definitely be able to reserve enough. On the contrary, although Chen Xi has been reserved, the problem of Chen grain is difficult to solve.
"Speaking of this, you spend so much money to purchase grain every year, in addition to stabilizing prices, it is also to hoard grain and prepare for the last battle between the Han Dynasty and the Kushans, right?" Liu Bei had realized at this time what Chen Xi said earlier, what was for spending a lot of materials to repurchase grain and grass.
"Repurchase grain for the last battle to hoard food is only one aspect, not all, and stabilizing prices is a general demand." Chen Xi said casually, "But after the more storms, some other problems arise. Taking Chen Grain to make wine is part of the solution, but it is not enough, so I'm going to find Hanmou to see if there is a way to optimize it directly from the source."
"How many years have you been preparing to store food and grass?" Liu Bei frowned. The aging phenomenon in Dutun was still not enough.
"Prevent problems before they happen." Chen Xi said with a smile. In fact, he even wanted to follow the example of later Soviet Union, build permanent cold storage in Siberian permafrost, and then continue to stockpile materials. This permanent cold storage can still be used even after seventy or eighty years.
However, the cost of this kind of thing is a bit outrageous, and it is also a bit far from the Han Dynasty, which is somewhat undesirable, especially the distance factor, which has a great impact.
So Chen Xi thought about it and didn't let the cookies think of a way. After all, if some food does not melt, it can be preserved for more than ten years. Besides, there are related promotions for subsequent vegetable basket projects. Chen Xi also has to ask about cookies. This thing has always been the lead in pushing, but now why does it feel like there is no further information when pushing? It's been ten years since Yuanfeng. The next third five-year plan is really going to be launched. At least it is something that is initially launched. There can't be no further information yet.
So Chen Xi thought about the fact that he needed to go over and care about cookies in person recently to avoid the cookies’ negligence. He thought that this matter was still very far away and that the promotion plan would be delayed too far.
"Your Highness, the Grand Marshal and the Minister of the Shangshu Pushe came to pay their respects." When Xin Xianying saw Liu Bei and Chen Xi coming together, he hurried to inform Liu Tong, at least dress up and show up in formal clothes.
"Ah, is there something big happening?" Liu Tong was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't see Chen Xi and Liu Bei together for a few times a year. He immediately activated his spiritual talent and quickly began to hang up and analyze in advance to avoid being despised by Chen Xi. After hanging up the phone, Liu Tong suddenly found that a certain spiritual talent he often used was gone.
"Is Zhou Yu's spiritual talent gone?" Liu Tong, who had not yet woken up, was a little confused and had a mess of hair, suddenly shuddered and woke up completely. Then he grabbed Si Niang's clothes and pulled Si Niang to wake up, "Si Niang, cleaning technique."
Si Niang didn't understand why, but she still used the spell in a daze and put on her clothes and packed her clothes in an instant. After this spell, Liu Tong was no longer as confused as before. Her eyes were sharp and her expression was majestic. She knelt beside several cases with all her strength to stimulate her spiritual talent and began to search for the full range. Finally, she was sure that Zhou Yu's spiritual talent was gone.
"It's over!" After Liu Tong rubbed his cheeks, he soothed his stiff cheeks because of the overly shocked news, but just thinking that Zhou Yu was gone, Liu Tong's scalp became numb.
"Xianying, except for the people who recorded their daily life, they drove them out. Si Niang got up and accompanied me to see the Taiwei and the Minister of the Shangshu Pushe. Something big happened." Liu Tong's face looked very ugly. Even if she was a salted fish, she knew very well how much impact Zhou Yu would have on the current coastal defense.
"What's wrong?" Si Niang was pulled up with a confused look on her face, and then she slapped herself with the consciousness of Si Niang. She continued to sleep, allowing the AI that simulated self-consciousness to play a quiet concubine instead of her consciousness to accompany Liu Tong to meet Liu Bei and Chen Xi.
"I have seen Your Highness the Princess." Liu Bei and Chen Xi bowed to Liu Tong, and Liu Tong replied.
After several people took the seat, Liu Tong asked directly without waiting for Liu Bei and Chen Xi to speak, "Is something wrong with Zhou Gongjin? I can't find his spiritual talent here."
"Uh." Chen Xi, who was about to speak out about the Tianzhang, was stunned when he heard Liu Tong, and then he remembered that Liu Tong's spiritual talent was also locked in the entire picture. Zhou Yu's talent was gone, so it was normal for Liu Tong to detect it.
"Yes, Governor Zhou was assassinated by Kushan soldiers before and was killed." Liu Bei thought for a while and said, without saying anything like the plan, only saying the facts.
"Assassination? Or Kushan soldiers?" Liu Tong was stunned for a moment, his face full of disbelief. He didn't know what level Zhou Yu can do. That means assassination can be assassinated? What's more, how is the Kushan soldiers possible?
"Although it sounds outrageous, it is indeed the case." Chen Xi said helplessly, "As far as we know, it is indeed an assassination carried out by the Kushan soldiers."
"How is this possible?" Liu Tong knew that this was not Xuyan when he saw Chen Xi speak, but it was precisely because it was not Xuyan that Liu Tong felt incredible. She, a waste princess, could see the problem here, how could people like Liu Bei and Chen Xi not be able to see it?
"Although it's very incredible, it's the case. However, we have asked Doctor Mi and Doctor Xun to lead people to Southeast Asia for investigation. The problems of the Jiangdong family will be discussed later." Chen Xi told the truth. After all, this part will not reveal Zhou Yu's plan, so it's up to you.
Liu Tong lowered her head and thought when she heard this. Even if she didn't use other people's spiritual talents to obtain thinking templates to make judgments, just one Zhou Yu died, Liu Tong would be enough to doubt Jiangdong's many people.
"The problem is big?" Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"It can't be said yet, but Weishuo was assassinated on the same day. Fortunately, Weishuo's security is relatively complete, but he was frightened." Chen Xi beat up and connected some things to Liu Tong, so that Liu Tong could make up for it himself.
Liu Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard this. In this case, it seemed that only Kushan would dare to do such a thing. The damn Kushan Empire, our Han Dynasty had not started before we even started, and you actually tore up the armistice agreement directly. It turns out that you don’t want to live anymore, right?
"Investigate strictly, don't let anyone involved in the case go away." Liu Tong said coldly.
"I'm investigating, maybe I'll catch a big fish." Chen Xi nodded and said.
"Speaking of this, it seems that you are not here for this?" Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi and asked strangely, what's the situation? Don't you pay attention to such a big thing?
"This matter has been dealt with, and there will naturally be a result in the future, but it will be the end of the tenth year of Yuanfeng. At that time, the dynasty will need to publicize something, so we must discuss it with Your Highness." Chen Xi said with a calm expression. Compared with what happened recently, what will happen next is more important.
Then Chen Xi explained in detail the causes and consequences of Liu Bei's patrol on behalf of the emperor, and explained in detail to ensure that Liu Tong could easily understand it in his own language.
After hearing this, Liu Tong thought for a moment and understood what Chen Xi meant. He could generally understand what he was dealing with, but compared to the controllable part, Liu Tong cared more about the uncontrollable part, "Are you sure that Yuanfeng could completely solve the Kushan in the thirteenth year?"
As soon as he opened his words, Liu Tong might have realized that his tone was wrong, so he added a few more words, "It's not that he doubts your ability, but that Kushan is still in a prosperous state, and the internal problems of the Ganges Legion have not been solved yet. You are sure that you can withstand the Kushan counterattack next, and now I have received a lot of relevant information."
Chen Xi pressed his temples, and even Liu Tong heard a lot of jokes from the Ganges Legion, and couldn't help but look at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei glanced at Chen Xi. No wonder Chen Xi said that the major families and princes and other people were laughing at them. As things have reached this level, right?
"The situation is not as bad as you think. What you really want to say about the problem on the Ganges Legion is actually just a small problem. Moreover, after the accident between Zhou Gongjin, the war between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan has begun again. The next victory and defeat will not affect the finale. Even if you really want to say, this battle should even be said to be a way to eliminate the waste and preserve the essence." Chen Xi sighed and explained.
"That's simple. If you want to win this next battle, can you win?" Liu Tong didn't plan to save the country in a curve, and went straight to the point.
Chen Xi has a headache. If you ask this, I really want to tell you that I can win, but the overall situation is limited and the internal conflicts of people, I really can't tell you that I can win. Unless the Kushan really becomes a soft side, the Han Dynasty will never win in this battle. Maybe some of the victory can be achieved by virtue of morale in the early stage, but I'm afraid that they will have to lose back later.
This time Chen Xi even prepared to be beaten back by Kushan again. The front line of fun was a bit too big for Chen Xi, and not only the middle class, but even the upper class of the Ganges were too optimistic about the current situation of the Ganges Legion.
"Mr. Chen, you are not sure to win this game. How can I firmly believe that you can win the last battle when you need it? You must know that when it comes to the decisive battle, the power that Kushan can burst out will be far better than the next battle. More importantly, it is different from the current situation where Kushan is defeated repeatedly. At that time, Kushan will at least have a big victory to the bottom, and there will be no awe of the Han army." Liu Tong said everything in his heart.
One thing to say is that this is a mature and steadfast remark, which does not fit Liu Tong's character, but it is obvious that Liu Tong is also aware of military and national affairs. Since he is in this position, he must say what he should say.
Liu Tong absolutely trusts Chen Xi's internal affairs ability, and whatever the other party says is what he says. However, in terms of military affairs, even if Liu Tong has some trust in Chen Xi's ability, it is difficult to achieve internal affairs. In addition, some knowledge popularized by Bai Qi and Han Xin to Liu Tong made Liu Tong clearly know that Chen Xi's military strategy is more crushing with the general trend. So now the problem is here, what if you miscalculate this?
Liu Tong and most of the Han civil and military officials believed that under Chen Xi's operation, the Kushans would be eliminated sooner or later. Even the Kushans personnel led by Masinde and Langarajan knew that victory was only a matter of time, but they all said that this was a matter of time.
Since it is a matter of time, why do you have to make a very short time and let Liu Bei do this? Of course, if you hit Kushan with one punch, it will indeed solve all the problems. But what if, although you won, but you didn’t beat him to death? What should you do?
Will Liu Bei stay in the Ganges or return to Chang'an?
If you stay in the Ganges, you will have new problems. When you return to Chang'an, you will directly lay mines for the future. These are all problems, so Liu Tong's meaning is very clear. I have no objection to you if you want to go on a tour of the Heavenly Tribunal. This is indeed a good way to solve the problem. I have no objection to the King of Jin inherited the throne. You have just strengthened this concept and solved political hidden dangers, but I don't agree with the fact that you went directly to the Ganges later.
"It's hard for me to explain why I can win this." Chen Xi was very troubled. He wanted to explain in detail to Liu Tong that Liu Bei had arrived in the Ganges after Liu Bei was repaired in the southwest passage and led a million troops from the Central Plains to crush Kushan. He felt it was difficult for him to explain clearly.
To put it bluntly, Chen Xi is also a tactical sword. It is purely because Guan Yu and others were on the front line of the Ganges for so many years. After repeatedly testing the military potential of Kushan, they carefully followed the data of the Kushan military potential after testing, compared the situation with a crushing data to get into Kushan.
There is no mechanism, just heap values have reached this level.
"You can't explain it to me clearly. How can I believe this? Can we not bet on this? If we don't kill it, new problems will arise." Liu Tong said angrily. Liu Bei was not angry when he heard this. He knew Chen Xi's plan, and he also believed Chen Xi, but the questioning of Liu Tong also made Liu Bei's curiosity aroused.
"If you ask the Marquis of Huaiyin or Wu'an, I can't explain it clearly to you, but it should be able to explain it clearly to Marquis of Huaiyin and Wu'an." Chen Xi scratched his head. His current strategic plan has not been completely completed, and he is still constantly adjusting and calculating. It would be too difficult to convince Liu Tong. After all, this is a talk between a chicken and a duck, but he has to talk to Han Xin or Bai Qi. Those two people can really understand it.
"It's OK." Liu Tong nodded after hearing this, signaling Xin Xianying to send someone to Lanchi to invite the two old men. Compared to Chen Xi's military strategy, Liu Tong obviously believes in Han Xin and Bai Qi more. Even though neither of them has been to the Ganges, at least these two people have far better judging strategies and tactics than Chen Xi.
When Xin Xianying sent people to Lanchi Palace, they saw Bai Qi and Han Xin floating above Lanchi Lake. The weather was too hot. Even if there was cooling and etching in the palace, it was more comfortable to soak in Lanchi Lake. Moreover, the fish caught when soaking in the Lanchi Lake can be used as supper directly.
"Ah, Your Highness the Princess and Chen Zichuan argued. We need our help. What kind of fun is there?" Han Xin crawled out of the water, shook, and put on his own wide robe and asked the servant beside him. He liked fun very much.
"After you go, you will know that Chen Hou also hopes you will be approved." The attendant said respectfully to Bai Qi and Han Xin. It's been these days, and those who are still in the palace know the identities of these two people, so how can they be disrespectful?
When Bai Qi and Han Xin arrived, the cookie was already in the Weiyang Palace. He was not called by Chen Xi and Liu Bei, but the weather was too hot. He picked up two watermelons from the melon fields opened by the Weiyang Palace to take them back for food. When passing by, he offered one to the landlords. After all, Shanglinyuan is a royal garden no matter what. Although Liu Tong didn't care much, he had to give some face.
So when Bai Qi and Han Xin came over, they saw a group of people eating watermelons, and the Si Niang, who was originally wandering around, really woke up with the sweet watermelons.
"This melon is good, it has improved a lot compared to last year's, and the taste is super good." Han Xin took a few bites and found that the melon was different on the spot. The quality was so great that all the watermelons he had eaten were sweet in the sand! And it had a lot of juice and a good taste, which was invincible.
"Of course, it will be stronger every year, otherwise what will I do?" Cookie said with a smile, touching her beard, "But the skin of this melon is not thick enough. I have to continue to study it in combination with this melon. The sweetness and taste after ripening is fine, it is just thin."
"What do you need such a thick watermelon peel?" Si Niang frowned and asked. Isn't this melon perfect? It is sandy and sweet, with lots of juice and large size, which is simply a must-have for cooling off.
"Only the skin is thick enough, it can be easy to store and transport. Now, can this melon explode with a little force?" Chen Xi turned his head and asked the cookie. The skin of this watermelon was quite thin, and the crack was obviously not all traces of the cutting. What does this mean? It goes without saying.
"After ripening, sometimes it will explode after bumps and bumps, but the taste is really good. It is the most successful type among the dozens of achievements last year, which is that the skin is too thin and cannot be stored." Cookie nodded, "The next thing to do is to hybridize this melon and the existing Jincheng melon, and then cultivate the current Jincheng melon with this flavor."
"The Jincheng melon doesn't feel too sweet." Si Niang thought about it and said. She had bought Jincheng melon before, and the taste was much better than the watermelon she ate a few years ago, but compared with the watermelons grown in the cookie field, it was far inferior. "And the skin was very thick and solid."
"Jincheng melon is already the most comprehensive and most resistant to preservation. Other watermelons can only be revolved locally. Jincheng melons can almost go abroad." Chen Xi quickly showed off a piece of watermelon and said to Si Niang, "In fact, most of the local watermelons sold on the market are at the same level as Jincheng melon."
However, the problem is that ordinary local watermelons can only be stored for about ten days after picking them, and they are finished. Jincheng melons can be stored for one month at room temperature. Moreover, because of the thick melon skin, they can be fully supported for long-distance transportation and sent to all parts of the country. This is why Li Jun Duck Farm no longer does it and makes watermelons in Jincheng. To put it bluntly, it is really profitable.
"It's almost the same. Next, you only need to combine the Jincheng melon and this melon to create a more edible and storage-resistant watermelon." Cookie said confidently.
"By the way, how long can the maximum storage time of watermelons be achieved?" Chen Xi asked the cookies while eating the melons, "This thing is really amazing, especially the unmanned areas under our rule. If we can produce a watermelon that can be stored for a long time, it can really solve many problems. Even if there is nothing to be done to the people under our rule, it can improve happiness."
To be continued...
