Chen Xi, who comes from another time and space, naturally knows what things can make money quickly in this era. Of course, these industries must have enough force to support them, otherwise it will only be a crime.
Papermaking is equivalent to robbing money in this era when books are like life. The same goes for printing, the same as for glass, and the same for lime. Basic gadgets like these are the only way to grab money at this time. Don't look at the ordinary people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. My family was very poor, so I thought there was no money in this era.
As long as you can take out one of the hundreds of years of accumulation of a wealthy family, it is enough to raise a group of princes. Think about it, Cao Song accumulated enough wealth for Cao Cao to raise an army in just one generation. The accumulation of thousands of years of accumulation by a wealthy family can no longer be explained by money. .
Coupled with the scarcity of materials in this era, Chen Xi has many ways to get money from these wealthy families. To be honest, he is quite satisfied with Chen Xi, a wealthy family who values ??benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust. Although there will be some scum, it is undeniable that many of them His moral character is still very admirable, especially his integrity. Chen Xi can only admire him.
This is why Chen Xi dared to write out the salt that was almost equivalent to printing money and handed it to the soldiers, who brought it directly to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. Although there must be some mistakes and omissions in it, because the faith of this era is almost engraved in his bones. It is completely different from the era in which later generations laughed at poverty but not at prostitution.
Chen Xi can guarantee that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping will completely study the method of drying salt this time. They also sold their property and came here hoping to become Liu Bei's subordinates. The most important thing is that they will still use it. Chen Xi's skills are retained as part of the family, and he will never take advantage of him. He will even be so generous that Chen Xi himself is surprised.
Chen Xi feels that except for the poor food, everything else in this era is much better than the materialistic era before. Speaking of which, Wuding Cooking and other things are not even as good as stir-fries and spices. Chen Xi has a headache.
All in all, there are a lot of money-stealing technologies in this era. Even if he can't research it, as long as he knows the general direction, he will definitely find it by asking a craftsman to research it. There is no way that the good thing about this era is that craftsmen are better than scholars like him. They can come and go as soon as they are summoned. In addition, as long as there is some sign of being awarded an official, a large number of craftsmen can be recruited, especially at this time when the importance of craftsmen is not yet known.
For Liu Bei, Taishan County may be a mud pit, but in Chen Xi's opinion, it is completely a big pie. Even if it is a mud pit, Chen Xi thinks that according to his existing plan to grab money, he can bulldoze it with money.
As for wasting money, Chen Xi didn't realize it at all. Five hundred thousand people could get their money back no matter what they spent. It's just a pity that Taishan County is not close to the sea, otherwise it would be easier to make money.
As for the fact that Taishan County belongs to Yanzhou, Chen Xi didn't take it to heart at all. As for being back-to-back with Cao Cao, there is nothing taboo about it. Cao Cao must consolidate Yanzhou first and will definitely not touch Liu Bei before he has no strength. After all, now In this situation, Liu Bei seems to be stronger than Cao Cao.
"In other words, if Liu Bei didn't come to deal with Cao Cao, he would have given Cao Cao face. If Cao Cao wanted to pay attention to Liu Bei, he would be seeking death.
In addition, if Chen Xi's estimate is good, Cao Cao's strategy after acquiring Xi Zhicai is probably to consolidate most of Yanzhou, quietly swallow up Sili, and then carefully give Yuan Shu a chance to take over Yuzhou. As for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Cao Cao is definitely jealous of it. Eat, you will die if you eat.
To be honest, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is a big pit. Although it is undeniable that there is a Shiquan Dabu Pill in the pit, but for all the princes in this period, they are almost not qualified to take it, and they will definitely be exhausted and be killed alive. Poisoned to death, there are at least two to three million yellow turban thieves in Qingzhou now, with two to three million mouths, and no prince can hold on.
Even Chen Xi's consideration of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is put on hold for two years. This is because he can make enough money and food within two years, otherwise he can only continue to put it on hold. As for how many people will starve to death in these two years, Chen Xi has no idea. What a good idea, this is the only way.
Although two years is quite a long time, Chen Xi has to prepare in advance to take down Qingzhou. This can almost be said to be an established strategy. Qingzhou must be wiped out no matter what the reason.
To be honest, Chen Xi knows better than anyone else that as long as he eats the two million young men in Qingzhou and then buys the women, as long as he can survive the first year, then he only needs to follow the steps step by step and do it steadily and not make that fatal mistake. mistakes, it can be said that Suppressing the World is on the right track.
Of course, what this situation means is that Yuan Shu is still messing around according to history. If he works as hard as Cao Cao, and according to the conditions arranged by the Yuan family for Yuan Shu, he might have become the winner by then.
There is no way the Yuan family canThe foundation is too strong. The Nanyang County and Runan County given to Yuan Shu are almost the kind of large counties where one county dominates the other state. The combined population of the two counties is almost 5 million. This does not include other places in Yuzhou. If not for Yuan Shu He is confused and has ruined such a solid foundation. Even if he wants to become king, it will be troublesome for other princes to deal with it.
So Chen Xi has included Yuzhou in his strategy. Of course, this is just a thought, and since he needs a complete Yuzhou, not a ruined Yuzhou, he must start early enough, that is to say, in While swallowing Qingzhou, it is necessary to evacuate the defense in the southern part of Taishan to induce Yuan Shu to take the bait.
Of course, these are just Chen Xi's thoughts, but he knows very well that once Liu Bei starts to attack Qingzhou and Yuan Shu starts to make plans for Taishan, Cao Cao will never miss such a good opportunity, and this is Chen Xi's biggest opportunity.
Chen Xi knows Cao Cao's adventurous nature and Xi Zhicai's excellent vision. He will never let go of this opportunity, so Chen Xi will be prepared even if it is so far in advance. He will have time to check and fill in the gaps later. , when it is taken out in three to five years, even Chen Xi, a counselor of Jia Xu's level, will be sure to beat him dizzy. A fool will always succeed after all his considerations, not to mention that Chen Xi knows that he is not very stupid.
Chen Xi sat on the horse and thought about the big strategy for the next few years, but he didn't know how much his actions in the next few years shocked the princes of the world. I don't check your arrangements, regardless of your plans, I will always only focus on your character. , grasping your character to design the layout for you, there may be omissions in the layout, and there may be omissions in the thoughtful planning, but when planning according to your character and your character, who can see through it, or in other words, see through it? Who would doubt it?
