Chapter 254 Deterring the Quartet and ending this year's war
Fazheng was overjoyed when he heard this. It was indeed difficult to do this kind of thing well, but doing it well was the best recognition of his ability, so he no longer hesitated and took over the matter on the spot...
"Zichuan, please take more responsibility as before." Liu Bei did not give Chen Xi any government affairs, but he left this sentence, which means that Chen Xi still has the power to control all civil servants.
"Here." Chen Xi nodded and said.
After everything was settled, Liu Bei didn't say anything more. He just held a banquet to entertain everyone as usual. Fazheng once again ate boiled mutton. It was said that the disappointment of being hit by everyone completely disappeared.
[Hmph, hey, I don’t care about you, I have to do this in my house! Chen Zichuan said to do his own thing, let others complain, I don’t care what they do.] Fazheng ate the boiled mutton again
He has strengthened his determination. In his opinion, this is such a lofty ideal. Why don't ordinary people understand it?
By the time the banquet was over, it was already dark. With the approach of the winter solstice, the days were getting shorter and shorter, and there was less time for working during the day, and more time for drinking tea, eating cakes, and making plans.
The day is over.
After everyone retreated, Chen Xi drank some soup in a daze and sat unsteadily in the living room. Liu Bei would definitely come after a while.
"Zichuan looks a little drunk." When Liu Bei came over, he brought his maid to prepare a bowl of sobering soup for Chen Xi.
"I drank too much and I'm feeling groggy." Chen Xi drank the hangover soup in one gulp and shook his head to clear his mind.
"Zichuan. Are you sure Xiaozhi can do that well? If Xiaozhi doesn't do it well, he will offend too many people. After all, there are so many people involved in this matter. As you said before, it is related to a century-old plan. That's it.
I'm really a little uneasy about leaving it to Xiaozhi. If Fengxiao is here, it would be the best choice to leave it to him." Liu Bei said with some uneasiness. In his opinion, Fazheng is really a bit young and frivolous, and his temperament is not good.
Needs more practice.
"It's not a big problem. Mr. Xuande, you should have confidence in filial piety." Chen Xi said with a smile. "Maybe he will hit a wall at the beginning, but he will be able to adjust soon."
"I hope so." Liu Bei said helplessly. In his opinion, Fazheng was a bit too young after all.
"Forget it. Let's not mention filial piety. With you watching, things won't get to that point. Let's talk about other things. In fact, I don't quite understand why veterans over thirty-two years old are transferred out. You know
With our current food and accommodation, the veterans who meet your requirements should have internal energy, and they are all experienced in combat. For these people, even when they are forty years old, they still have quite strong combat effectiveness." Liu Bei saw.
Chen Xi didn't want to say anything, so he turned around and asked the questions he was interested in.
"We need an elite force that is clearly a deterrent. In fact, as long as we maintain such food and accommodation conditions, in about two years, 30% of our troops will have internal energy. If the current conditions are maintained
, at most three generations, we should be able to popularize internal energy among the people." Chen Xi shook his head slightly and cheered up, and explained to Liu Bei.
"That's true. With the increase in our food production and ensuring that the people have enough to eat, the older generation may still be unable to cultivate their inner energy due to previous physical deficiencies, but the younger generation should have no problem." Liu Bei
He nodded and said, in this era of extremely active energy, as long as you can eat enough and your body is not exhausted, not to mention practicing to a very high level, at least cultivating one breath is not a big problem.
"That is to say, the level of our soldiers will be getting higher and higher!" Chen Xi nodded and said, "So the prosperity under the rule is very important to us."
"Indeed, between an army purely composed of soldiers with internal energy and a troop without internal energy, even if the military quality of both sides is the same, it is not difficult for the side with internal energy to completely annihilate the other side. Everyone is a little stronger, but for the army
It's enough to form a crushing force." Liu Bei's face turned pale when he thought of that situation.
The entire Han Dynasty lasted for 400 years, probably in the late period of Emperor Jing, and in the early stage of Emperor Wu, it was possible that the inner breath could be popularized by the whole people. It was a kind of short-lived prosperity, but it was powerful enough to scare all enemies! And this time Liu Bei may also do it again
Create such an era.
"Well, with the prosperity under the rule, there will also be chaos in management. Xuande also sees the current situation in Fenggao City. There is chaos in many places. I don't have much time to control these trivial details.
, so I plan to directly carry out mandatory management and at the same time put a strong enough force on the table." Chen Xi expressed his thoughts.
"Forced management, deterrence?" Liu Bei may not be good at politics because he doesn't have much experience now, but he still has a clear feeling when it comes to military affairs. It is obvious that Chen Xi is trying to intimidate.
"Well, those veterans who retired to city management will actually have no problem fighting for a few more years, and they are all veterans of hundreds of battles. This kind of team will be a deterrent to the princes who will take the opportunity to come here soon. After they
When evaluating our true strength, we will add an elite corps into the organization." Chen Xi nodded and said, although this team only conducts internal management of the city, it is enough to affect many people's evaluation of Fenggao.
"It will be a mixed bag by then, and it will be difficult for you." Liu Bei thought about what would happen in the future, and knew how necessary it is for such a force to exist.
"It's nothing, these are not too troublesome things." Chen Xi shrugged and said, "Looking back, I will re-equip these people with weapons and equipment. I started collecting craftsmen a year and a half ago, and only now have I made armor weapons.
, plus the blacksmith brought back from Yuzhou was finally able to finish the work quickly."
"Next year, you said that the army will be uniformly dressed, and all lower-level weapons and equipment will be unified, right?" When I mentioned the craftsman Liu Bei, I thought of what Chen Xi said about the craftsmen a long time ago.
"Well, by next year we should barely have enough apprentices. Plate armor is such a waste of iron that it can only be equipped for elite teams. Other troops should take their time. I have ordered people to re-determine the weights and measures. This time
Unify the standards so that they can be recycled and reused in the future." Chen Xi sighed and said that there are too many things that are lacking in this era.
"Hey, I'd better leave these to Zichuan. I can't figure it out at all. Just give me accurate data when the time comes." Liu Bei waved his hand helplessly and said. Liu Bei was actually very satisfied with the ironmaking.
, things like plate armor have begun to be equipped for legions, what else do you want? In the past, only generals were eligible to have this.
"All that's left is to end the war and re-sign the alliance." Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Under the threat of Liu Bei's powerful military power, if nothing unexpected happens, he should have enough time to deal with next year. (To be continued...
