The place of Pamir, which is later Kazakhstan, is quite good in terms of climate and soil. It is definitely not a problem to support millions of people while ploughing and half-grassing.

Naturally, if you use this place as a bridgehead, there is only one thing you need to do, that is, just like Chen Xi did in Mount Tai, from nothing to building a huge base that is enough to support the war.

Similarly, this place is very similar to Mount Tai at the beginning. It seems to have nothing, but it has strong foundations that can support the future. At that time, Mount Tai had nothing, but it had manpower more important than others.

Now Pamir also has nothing here, but it has land that is sufficient to attract human resources. Except for a few million hectares, these lands are developed and well-developed arable land, and the other nearly one million square kilometers can be regarded as pastures.

If we include the mineral resources here, the conditions here are actually better than Zhuge Liang's expectations. To put it shamelessly, this place also belongs to Wangxing, but it is too vast and sparsely populated, and it belongs to a technical desert.

Even the Chen family, Xun family and Sima family brought the geoscience personnel to the Chen family, Xun family, and Sima family spent about half a year to complete the management of easy exploration. Several mines that can be easily mined have been found.

Especially the deposits near the north are basically all good iron ore. Simply put, they can make steel by digging them out and throwing them into the furnace. However, the herdsmen here have such iron ore that they can't make iron at all.

Of course, in addition to iron ore, gold ore and copper ore have also been discovered. The mines that can be discovered by such simple exploration are all extremely obvious and extremely large open-pit mines. It is obvious that the Hu people who have lived here for hundreds of years have no idea what kind of treasure they have under their feet, so Zhuge Liang silently incorporated these people.

After all, the current Pamir Mountains are seriously lacking in population. Even if they know that there are great hidden dangers in doing so, Zhuge Liang can only deal with this first. Fortunately, the Hu people here have no combat power. With the help of force, Li Jue and others quickly subdued all of these guys.

"Are you building a steel factory?" Sima Yi looked at the proposal handed to him by Zhuge Liang, and he still guessed the significance of this place. If all the guys in the west and south are regarded as enemies, then the location of the Pamirs is not only a bridgehead, but also the main base of the Central Plains.

So far, Sima Yi basically understood that after the Central Plains road was built to the Pamirs, the country itself could no longer build it westward and northward. On the one hand, this is a cost issue and a value reason. After all, if you go to the west, you will likely enter the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, building infrastructure in such places is destroyed and no matter how much money is invested, it is not enough to waste it. According to Sima Yi's estimate, with Chen Xi's concept, before it is stable here, most of them will be turned back to the country and build channels for exchanges between regions.

After all, the Central Plains is in the rear. On the one hand, the main base of the Pamirs is in hand. As long as there is no loss here, no one can attack the Central Plains. On the other hand, developing the Central Plains and consolidating the existing advantages of the Central Plains will have great significance for opening up the local and external fiefdoms in the future.

Although Sima Yi didn't believe Chen Xi didn't know that under his arrangement, a unified conflict of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period broke out sooner or later between the Central Plains and the outer feudal barriers. Although the causes of the war were different at that time, such a thing was almost inevitable.

Even if Chen Xi is working hard to consolidate the foundation of the Central Plains, even if the Central Plains are connected together at that time, even if the starting point of the Central Plains is much higher than that of all the fiefdoms, then no matter how, Sima Yi can think of the final situation even if he uses his feet to think about it, the situation of unification of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is simply irreversible.

This is not something that Chen Xi left behind now, and Chen Xi can only push it back in this process, but cannot erase it. This is almost a historical necessity. Even the founding monarch shouting for the whole world, it actually has no meaning.

Because this is a historical necessity, all the founding emperors understood that the dynasties they established would collapse one day, and their repair process was just postponing the arrival of this day.

The same is true of what Chen Xi did. It cannot withstand the ruins of children and grandchildren with its solid foundation. What's more, Sima Yi can feel Chen Xi's contradiction. On the one hand, it is suppressing the birth of this situation, and on the other hand, it will cause such consequences. Find a balance point in the contradiction. Chen Xi may be fine. If he dies, Sima Yi will no longer have any hope.

Of course, at that time, the bridgehead for the Central Plains, the Pamirs, is actually the main base for the families ahead, and the resources they need can only be obtained from here.

Maybe they may not need to obtain it from here when they grow stronger in the future, but at the beginning, they can't avoid this place. Whoever stays in charge will be the next prime minister.

Similarly, every industry planned now will affect the future direction. To put it simply, the people who choose these industries, and then they will rely on what they have here to change their plans.

Because even if there will inevitably be a national highway to Pamir, the materials transported by this road alone are definitely not enough, so in the end, the only thing you can rely on is the main base of Pamir. What is produced by the main base and what you use, there is no choice.

At least the first three years must have been like this, and these three years are very important for any aristocratic family that has just left the country. Every resource at that time was extremely important.

"You choose to smelte." Sima Yi said in silence for a while. He originally thought that Zhuge Liang would choose the same route as him to corrupt the other party in advance, but he did not expect that Zhuge Liang's positioning of this place had a conflict with him from the very beginning.

"Well, steel mills are the most important. We don't have much time, and the aristocratic families don't have much time. We don't have enough manpower now, so we can only concentrate resources to do one of them." Zhuge Liang stopped writing and looked at Sima Yi and said, knowing that his choice would affect all the aristocratic families in the future.

"I think we should take the route of corrupting each other. The family itself is suitable for this. At this time, we should disguise ourselves as trade transfer stations, make the place prosperous, and then penetrate outwards, and then use force to use force after hidden penetration. This is stable." Sima Yi said slowly, and the order given by Zhuge Liang was completely beyond his imagination.

"The aristocratic family is indeed suitable, but what we want is such a guy?" Zhuge Liang looked at Sima Yi and asked calmly, "What's more, if you play too many conspiracies, you will lose your courage. We are here to expand our territory, not to reap wealth."

"What do you think about the public platform?" Sima Yi turned his head and looked at Chen Gong. Chen Gong's eyelids involuntarily fell when he heard this. With his wisdom, he naturally knew that this matter had already involved the direction of all aristocratic families in the future. It can be said that the choices of Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang now directly affect all aristocratic families in the future.

"Corruption and war?" Chen Gong also had a headache, "Have you not given any tips in China? Kong Ming?"

"No, no one told me what to do. Chen Hou and Li both told me that I had arrived here and could just decide for myself in everything. Even if I was launching a war with another empire, I could start it as long as I nodded." Zhuge Liang said with a calm expression.

Chen Gong's mouth twitched, and he felt the degree of Chen Xi and Li You's heart again. He should say that these two guys are worthy of being the top wise men in the world.

Not to mention anything else, just this kind of demeanor is far beyond that of a normal person. With such a grand arrangement pressing on Zhuge Liang, Chen Gong was inexplicably curious. Are those two guys not afraid of something wrong?

You should know that after fighting the war against Rome and understanding the situation in the west, as long as the wise man who is still smart, he knows how important the position of the Palaciori is. It can be said directly that the importance of this position is now at the same level as the prime minister of the Central Plains.

As long as you do well in this position, all the aristocratic families in the world need to bear your favors. When the time comes, the entire aristocratic family will carry you to open a government office and become the prime minister. It’s so crazy. This position will almost determine the direction of the next few decades or even a hundred years.

"Is this how?" Lu Meng stopped dealing with government affairs at this time and sat upright at the few people. To be honest, Lu Meng actually envied Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi now. If nothing unexpected happens, one of them will definitely be the prime minister in the future, and the other will definitely be the third duke.

At most, Zhuge Liang is likely to become Prime Minister now than Sima Yi.

"Can you tell me your reason, Kong Ming." Chen Gong looked at Zhuge Liang for a while and said, Sima Yi's eyes sank. It was obvious that Chen Gong was leaning towards Zhuge Liang.

"We are not the only main base. The Yuan family is very powerful. Although they are not capable now, they will definitely have the ability to support other aristocrats like us in the future. If we choose a trade center, control foreign nobles with corrupt means, and then counterattack, they will only be empty." Zhuge Liang said slowly.

Zhuge Liang's reason is very simple. The old Yuan family is located in Ural Mountain. Although there is no road in that place now, Zhuge Liang believes that Xun Chen and others are definitely burning cement crazily, waiting for the opportunity to come. As for steel mills, they may have entered the preparations, and even exaggerated points may have entered the construction stage.

Now the old Yuan family cannot develop rapidly due to human resources and other issues, but there is at least one year left from now to the next stage.
