    Zhang Fei left. Looking at the excited look on his face, Chen Xi knew that there was a high probability that this guy would have a big fight in Mount Tai before coming back.

    Liu Bei came again the next day. He was a little helpless when he saw Chen Xi drinking tea leisurely in the Government Affairs Hall. After such a long time, Liu Bei no longer worried that Chen Xi would be exhausted. He finally understood how much trouble there was.  The guy only had time to frown. He believed what Chen Xi said on the road, and political strategy was what he was good at.

    "Zichuan is bored again." Liu Bei asked with a smile. He almost does not deal with government affairs now. Except for the right to promote or punish his subordinates, Chen Xi basically leaves everything else to his own discretion.  , he spends more time selecting people with good physical fitness among the refugees and training them. Now he has some appearance, but these tens of thousands of recruits are really just the same.

    "Canals, wells, roads are being dug everywhere, and the city walls have been renovated. It's hard to have hundreds of thousands of people at their disposal. Doing everything at once will save a lot of trouble in the future." Chen Xi pretended to take out a scroll of letters.  While watching, he said that although he also knew that Liu Bei knew his character, he was still used to showing off in front of his boss and couldn't go too far.

    Jian Yong snickered on the side, snickering at Chen Xi's pretending to read the slip. He even held the slip upside down and was still reading.

    "How is Zilong's farming done? It may meet Zichuan's requirements." Liu Bei asked. He was still not confident about Zhao Yun's ability. After all, it was not easy for a person with such high martial arts skills to hope to contribute to political strategy.

    "Probably there is only one person in the world who can compete with him on the farm." Chen Xi said proudly, "And there is basically no one who can definitely beat him."

    This is not Chen Xi's bragging. After all, farming is a new thing at this time. Although some people have done it before, after Zaozhi's renovation, it is basically different from the previous farming. Now Chen Xi will know about Zaozhi's farming  After Ling informed Zhao Yun, he asked Zhao Yun to watch the modifications by himself.

    Zhao Yun's intelligence is not bad. Although he has never seen this new model of military settlements, he can see the good and the bad. He will naturally analyze this settlement order with his own eyes. According to Zhao Yun's own words, this  The farming order is indeed a way to quickly accumulate national power, but isn't it a bit excessive? The 50-50 split is a bit harsh on the people.

    Chen Xi was too lazy to explain to Zhao Yun that after the 50-50 split, the people would live better than before. After all, the middle class was directly eliminated. The land tax was 30%, the land rent was 50%, and only 20% of what was grown in a year could fall into his hands. This is why  It is clear that the Han Dynasty did not lack land, so it was still necessary to starve to death.

    As for the 50-50 split that Chen Xi mentioned, it was still based on the average split based on the randomly checked output. Without private taxes, Chen Xi guaranteed that even if the sixty acres were split half and half in a small disaster year, they would at least survive starvation. As a result, Zhao Yun insisted on marrying Chen Xi  He was stubborn, and he himself couldn't argue with Chen Xi, so he angrily took a group of men to collect information, and he came back a few days ago.

    I have to say that on-the-spot investigation is indeed extremely necessary. After more than half a month of research, Zhao Yun found that what Chen Xi said was actually true. Five or five pairs can survive even a disaster year. Is this justified?  Then why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion occur in the past?

    When Zhao Yun came back, he held a gun and had a gloomy look on his face. He looked like he couldn't argue with Chen Xi this time, so he opened two holes for Chen Xi. He held a gun and argued with Chen Xi again, from the tax system to farming, from the yield per acre to the disaster years.  After arguing for an entire hour, even Jian Yong was shocked. He had never realized that Zhao Yun could speak so well.

    In the end, Chen Xi shrugged and said that the farming matter would be left to Zhao Yun, and there was no need to show him the laws and regulations. If there was anything needed, he would read the book himself, go to the field for inspections, and he would just be responsible for any problems that arose.

    Just like that, Chen Xi sent Zhao Yun away. Although he could find many loopholes in Zhao Yun's farming orders, Chen Xi was more willing to believe that Zhao Yun would notice those things himself. Of course, that would be with the passage of time and on-site inspections.  He can only realize it, but it is undeniable that he has already taken his own steps.

    Listening to Jian Yong talking about what happened before, Liu Bei sighed, "The Han Dynasty's decrees were not wrong. What was wrong was that there were always people taking advantage of the loopholes. The powerful families had many talents, but they used them in the wrong direction."

    "There will be loopholes in any government order, it's just a matter of how many. After all, the law changes at any time. It is normal that the golden laws and regulations of the past do not conform to the present. What is important is to keep pace with the times." Chen Xi said helplessly.

    Chen Xi found that he had to instill some new things into Liu Bei. If he kept clinging to his old position, even if he finally unified the world, he would still be Emperor Guangwu. What he wanted was the courage of Emperor Qin and Han Wu to pursue death and the north, and what he wanted was the kind of courage that could overwhelm the entire era.  The ambition to point the sword at the world would rather be like thisIn the end, Han Wu went to war to the point where he wanted to be defeated alone, and he did not want Liu Bei to be tied to his family and relatives like Guang Wu.

    Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went on a military rampage, but in the end the Liu family was still in charge of the world. For four hundred years, even in the Three Kingdoms era, in the Western Regions and outside the Pass, the Han Dynasty was still the king and ministers from all directions. The momentum of seeking defeat alone made it difficult for all parties to raise their heads.  If the Han Dynasty was in decline, which foreigner would dare to reach out?

    The rise of Guangwu represents the gradual dissipation of the martial spirit that would rather bend than bend. He bowed his head to the aristocratic family, lowering and lowering again and again until he finally got used to it. He had forgotten the original spirit of "how can we call home if the Huns are not destroyed?" and the spirit of enduring humiliation and burden.  Determination to avenge shame.

    "To be honest, Chen Xi is not afraid of the emergence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Even if his efforts to deal with the Xiongnu destabilize the domestic people's hearts and even lead to a civil uprising, what will happen?"  At least there was more than a hundred years of recuperation time after that battle. One hundred years, one generation for one hundred years of cultivation time, what's there to worry about?

    In the late Han Dynasty, the people's moral support was unstable, but the Xiongnu was basically abolished. If you say you want to cultivate your health, you should cultivate your health. When Emperor Jing was released, you still had to see if the Xiongnu was willing to cultivate your health. During the period of Emperor Wu,  He didn't worry about Kou Bian at all. After that, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty continued to cultivate his health and reached a prosperous age. In other words, the trouble caused by Emperor Wu was not big, and he could still be stable if he wanted to.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Let¡¯s look at Guangwu again. After Guangwu, relatives of the aristocratic family came to power. There was no super ruthless person to suppress the family and their relatives. For more than a hundred years, the aristocratic family became more and more powerful, until they peeked at the throne and finally killed the Han Dynasty. It was not stable.  Live, the whole tragedy.

    Precisely because he understands this, Chen Xi would rather create a militaristic uncle Liu than let him follow Guangwu's old path. At least Hanwu's old path can be passed as long as the money and food people can withstand it, but Guangwu's old path is a dead end.  In the end, even if it's not "the upper-class family has no humble family, the lower-class family has no noble family", it probably won't be much better. After all, the essence of the aristocratic family lies there, and without strong suppression, sooner or later problems will arise.

    With this idea in mind, if Chen Xi meets Liu Bei now that he has something to do, he will instill in him ideas of domineering, kingly, and heavenly ways.
