"That's okay." Jia Xu took a deep look at Chen Xi. He knew that if Chen Xi proposed something policy-related, he would have prepared the means many years ago and was waiting for a good opportunity. Thinking about it, after this time, if nothing unexpected happens, the era of aristocratic families having a large number of private soldiers will be over. The next era of private soldiers will probably only appear after the Han Dynasty enfeoffs the major families out of the Central Plains. "At present, in Chen Xi's words, internal stability trumps everything else. There can be conflicts, but no one except the government is allowed to have the power to turn conflicts into war. He will deal with everything that exceeds this limit. From this perspective, Sun Ce and Cao Cao can basically be regarded as very large cancers now. However, Chen Xi plans to remove these two cancers and throw them on others to poison others, because in order to increase their power, they need to find a more suitable one. Take action again when the opportunity arises. As for the quarrel between the aristocratic families, Chen Xi waved his hand and treated it as a forced purchase and sale. The fertile soil in the Northeast and the promise of enfeoffment were thrown directly into his face. We will clear our money and goods. After all, the family did not achieve the feat of exterminating the Northern Huns, so they essentially owed Chen Xi a favor. There was indeed talk of exchanging land before, but in fact everyone knew that what the family got was far greater than what they paid. Although this People from business families like to do it, but it also depends on the target. He is not as strong as the other party, but he still owes such a huge favor. Although this favor may be given by force, under the condition that it has become an established fact, the family can only bow their heads and acknowledge this favor. So isn't this a gift? Use it as a handle? All the aristocratic families know that the favor will be repaid sooner or later with their lives, so the sooner it is repaid, the better. But Chen Xi didn't give them a chance at all. Instead, he directly accepted their private soldiers. At first glance, it looked like he was going to fall out. , but as long as Chen Xi stops in moderation, all the aristocratic families will understand. In this way, although the aristocratic family must have a lot of dissatisfaction, the simultaneous action of Liu, Cao, and Sun basically represented the will of the entire Han Empire. Even if the aristocratic family was dissatisfied, they obediently took the land after it became a reality. Going north is the wisest choice. Doing this seems to have seriously offended these aristocratic families, but as long as Chen Xi only takes private soldiers and does not touch the main members of the aristocratic family, but only restrains, does not deprive and make promises, it is actually an alternative exchange of interests, and this method of exchange, although there are He is domineering, but his final promise is enough to eliminate all dissatisfaction, and it will also make the family owe more favors. Although this kind of bright bait is like catching a fool, Chen Xi can guarantee that with his current reputation, every family in the world will choose to bite the hook even if he didn't like Liu Bei before. . Chen Xi admitted that until now, aristocratic families have occupied about 60% or even 70% of the official positions in the country by relying on their abilities and connections. However, unlike during the reign of Emperor Ling, the current Han Empire can forcibly remove these people as long as they are willing to pay the price. It was peeled off from the entire system. Of course, Chen Xi would never do it if there was no great benefit. After all, whether the people at the bottom are willing to admit it or not, Chen Xi knows that in the current social environment, officials from aristocratic families have more advantages than disadvantages for the entire social environment. ¡°At least until Chen Xi has trained enough officials to change the blood of the entire bureaucracy, Chen Xi will never make any big moves in this system. Even after cultivating enough officials to change the blood, Chen Xi will be cautious enough in this aspect. After all, these people are not completely broken at this time, so there is no need to kill them all with one shot. Besides, if they really want to be turned into class enemies, Chen Xi feels that he will be in the category of being knocked down. After all, whether in the past life or in this life, he They are all vested interests. So Chen Xi¡¯s positioning is that he will sympathize with these people and be willing to help these people if he can, but if he wants to play moral kidnapping, and the Holy Mother, Chen Xi doesn¡¯t mind letting them be humanely destroyed first. Chen Xi, who seems harmless to humans and animals, is after all the rule-maker at the top of the food chain, and is essentially different from those who rise from the bottom. It is precisely because of this that Chen Xi can poach the corners of the aristocratic family and leave promotion channels for the lower levels, but he will never completely destroy it. On the one hand, he does not have such courage, and on the other hand, it is also because the land of the Central Plains is constantly growing new ones. Family. Therefore, stability is still the most important thing, but sometimes it is not impossible to use radical measures. At best, you can make up for it later. Anyway, those in the middle class of society should not only get the blame but also get the dates, so that they can have leisure and money every day. Looking for trouble. "Then let's do it. We just have some time to bring up a batch of cotton-padded clothes." Chen Xi turned to Zhuge Liang and said, then looked at Xun Yu and Zhou Yu and asked, "Are the winter clothes you have prepared enough? If not, I will?A batch of sweaters for you. " Talking about sweaters, Chen Xi has been harvesting the wool of the northern barbarians since the early days of Mount Tai. Over the past few years, a complete industrial chain of wool purchase, textile and knitting has been established. But in the past two years, it has not been the same as before. It has been so easy to collect in a few years. In the past, a standard five-baht coin could buy more than ten kilograms of wool. Now, the standard five-baht coin is basically equivalent to wool. Inexplicably, the barbarians have begun to use wool as a general equivalent. The guy had no idea what the Han Dynasty was doing with wool. A large amount of wool was collected, cleaned, sifted, and fluffed. After being fluffed and played with for several times, it was basically ready for use, whether it was spinning or playing with it. It is possible. As for the Chinese wool in the Han Dynasty, it is not suitable for textiles and is only suitable for making carpets. Under the terrible black technology of temperature cultivation, as long as the material composition is the same, you can achieve the results you want. So Liu Bei already has woolen clothes. The wool industry was originally expected to create a wealthy businessman. Under the chaos of the northern family, relying on small profits but quick turnover and cashmere to hit the upper market, the total annual profit is greater than that of any of the five wealthy merchants. The income was high. In the end, these northern merchants who were backed by aristocratic families even discovered that this was a bottomless gold mine. Wool thread might become one of the indispensable materials for the Han Dynasty like silk thread and linen thread, and silk could only be supplied to the upper class. Different from exports, twine is basically only used in the middle and lower layers. Woolen yarn can be used all over the map. Cashmere at the top and coarse wool at the bottom seem to be used in the four major categories of food, clothing, housing and transportation. The "clothing" category is divided into two categories. How much profit is it? Those families in the north who were the first to get involved in the big ship of the Chamber of Commerce will understand that this is a bottomless gold mountain!
