"Do you have no good idea?" Liu Bei came to Chen Xi to solve the problem of the emperor. Many parts that need to be completed by the emperor themselves would seem very troublesome, but if you want Liu Tong to ascend the throne, Liu Bei himself would not be able to hold this face off.

"Don't look for me, I have no good idea." Chen Xi shook his head repeatedly. He had no choice in this matter. It was impossible to replace people. Even if Liu Tong fell in the future, it would be a future matter. He would definitely not fall now.

There is absolutely no second emperor who is better than Liu Tong, the mascot. Liu Bei will definitely have conflicts with Sun Ce, Cao Cao and others as he ascended the throne, and a large part of the reason for the unscrupulous family division of franchise is that the emperor of Chang'an is in a state of half-doing.

Or more directly, the Han emperor who really should take care of this matter was not online at all. The three dukes and nine ministers only had the right to suggest this. If the emperor was not in power, no matter how far the general direction was, as long as there was no problem, there would be a chance to quarrel.

When Liu Bei ascended the throne, no matter how he developed it, his power would be collected into the central government. This is a symbol of the centralized system, but it is not suitable now.

"Then I can only continue." Liu Bei sighed and said. He had no intention of coveting the throne. He had thought about that position clearly now. That's the matter. If he went up by himself, he would actually have some constraints on the current pioneering and enterprising Han Empire. It was just that there was no emperor, and many rituals would be very problematic.

"Anyway, it will definitely be settled. At worst, just change the etiquette system. Zhou etiquette can be used. It is not a big problem to be inherited from generation to generation." Chen Xi said happily. Anyway, after doing his best, your heart will be fine.

However, Chen Xi's words were not nonsense. There was no such situation of lack of emperor in the Qin and Han dynasties, but it does not mean that it had not happened before. During the Western Anniversary, King Li of Zhou offended all the people, so the people rioted and drove King Li of Zhou away.

However, at that time, it was very particular, that was, the profession of the emperor was very sacred and ordinary people could not take office. After King Li of Zhou ran away, the country still had to operate without the emperor, and also manage the princes and perform rituals. So the people of the country established a new system and republic system!

Because this fun is very good, the year when the republic system was established was called the first year of the republic, and China also had a stable and accurate way of chronology since this year.

Of course this is not important. What is important is that King Li of Zhou was not dead. Although he drove the emperor away, according to the system at that time, ordinary soldiers were not qualified to capture the princes. Only the nobles could invite them with jade artifacts. Therefore, King Li of Zhou just ran away and was not finished.

In addition, at that time, there was no day and no country. Although the emperor ran away, he could not establish a new emperor again, so he started a republic. He forced himself to wait until King Li of Zhou returned to heaven, and the republic system was restored to the feudal system again.

The most core point is that there was no emperor in the past fourteen years. They were still doing sacrifices and wars, and they were all doing very well. Therefore, the Zhou royal family left a lot of experience. When the republic was held, the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty was in Haojing. Later, the Western Zhou Dynasty was relocated. The Qin Dynasty squatted and took the national information. Now they are all in the Han Dynasty's treasury.

Well, according to Chen Xi's estimate, even if it is not in the Han Dynasty's treasury, there must be some people who have information. At most, they don't want to use the Zhou rituals. After all, the Han Dynasty has been operating for four hundred years, and it is quite unpleasant to suddenly use an ancient ritual. Confucianism emphasizes respecting the ancients, but it does not mean that everyone respects the ancients.

"Okay, I always feel that something is not good. By the way, why do I feel that the two palaces in front of Weiyang Palace are being built at accelerating the construction recently?" Liu Bei thought about it and changed the subject. Since there was no other way, he could only make do with it.

"There is a plan at the end of the year. The half-finish project is not very good, and the Dayuezhi is coming soon. I guess when they come, the two palaces will be almost capped." Chen Xi didn't want to speed up because there was no need, but Wei's family seemed to have been injected with chicken blood recently, but it was hard to concentrate resources on this. Chen Xi was not willing to refuse, so let's do it.

"It costs billions." Liu Bei said with emotion.

"It's fine to cheat others, but I don't know the money I paid." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "Hey, it's mainly because there are few people. In the past few years, there were refugees everywhere, so recruiting workers is really simple. In the past two years, I really couldn't do it. I originally planned to renovate Wancheng in Nanyang, but unfortunately there is not enough people now, so I can't use labor for relief."

"Isn't this good?" Liu Bei said angrily. In his opinion, this is the real peace of the world. Even if he is still fighting abroad and there is no internal turmoil, the people can say that they have enough food and clothing. If this is the case, what's wrong with it?

"It's not that bad, it's just that the current social productivity has limited my own limits. I haven't reached the limit, but society has reached the limit." Chen Xi sighed and said.

This is not a hype, but a fact. The closer it approaches 7% of the full-time population, the more Chen Xi understands the limits of feudal society. If he cannot overcome that hurdle, his limit is the Song Dynasty's strange urbanization rate and amazing industrial and commercial level, and has turned the feudal era, which originally focused on agricultural tax, into a main focus on industry and commerce.

This can be said to be the peak of industry and commerce in the feudal era. The taxes of industry and commerce can reach two to three times the total agricultural tax. This level of economy is combined with the almost perverted combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty. It is really worthy of the other party to say that the opposite is his son.

However, this is not enough for Chen Xi. How can he liberate more people? He can create more and more refined social division of labor, but there are no more people, what are you doing!

Compared with the reward methods to stimulate population growth, Chen Xi estimated that the original power machine is the direction of social development, and the major changes in the population structure will also have an impact on the overall social system. The difficulty of adjusting the latter is about dozens of times that of manufacturing the former. Therefore, Chen Xi finally chose the power machine. Anyway, the template is already available, so it is simplified.

Liu Bei had nothing to say when he heard this. Although he did not understand what Chen Xi meant, it did not prevent Liu Bei from thinking that Chen Xi was really powerful and speechless.

"Ah, that's roughly that. At the end of the year, Xiangli should come to Chang'an, and I'll ask about the situation." Chen Xi sighed and said, "I hope Xiangli can handle it. After all, they can make standardization, standard parts, and assembly lines. It's only a matter of time for them to do this, and it should be no problem."

"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, just don't disturb the external objects. Just set your goal and take a big step forward." Liu Bei said with a smile.

At this moment, Liu Chan's little head came in from outside the door, and Liu Chan, wearing a black velvet coat, looked at Chen Xi with a gaze.

"Come in." Liu Bei waved to Liu Chan, and then Liu Chan brought his sister in. Liu Chan, who was seven or eight years old, gave Liu Bei first and then gave Chen Xi.

Liu Bei likes Liu Chan very much because Liu Chan is very open-minded and caressing about the details. As for how Liu Bei saw it, this kid was beaten several times by Chen Qian, who is younger than him, but he never holds a grudge. Every time he has something to eat, he will give Chen Qian generously. When he sees old at the age of three, this kid is very promising, at least a loyal and open-minded person.

"What did you learn today?" Chen Xi bent down and said to Liu Chan with a smile, because he had also seen several scenes of Chen Qian beating Liu Chan.

"Learn martial arts today." Liu Chan said obediently, "The teacher taught me how to learn archery."

"It's great to strengthen your body!" Chen Xi said with satisfaction.

"No, the teacher said that martial arts is a killing skill. Strengthening the body is second, and defending the country is the right way." Liu Chan refuted Chen Xi's words very seriously. Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei strangely, and his eyes seemed to be saying what kind of master you were looking for.

Liu Bei coughed softly twice and sent a message to Chen Xi, "I arranged the teachers who teach Chan'er to learn martial arts from Suwei. Changing someone else every once in a while is beneficial to me to recognize people, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to Chan'er to understand the world. Being good at women is not a good thing, and seeing all kinds of people is also a good thing."

If Liu Bei ascended the throne and established Liu Chan as the crown prince, then those who teach Liu Chan martial arts need to be careful. However, Liu Chan is not the crown prince. It is better to let Liu Chan see more people and see the other side of this country from these various middle-level generals.

Books are very important, but swords are more important. Liu Bei is relatively optimistic about Liu Chan. A generous and open-minded person has great advantages in the smooth handover of the regime. Therefore, Liu Bei let Liu Chan contact the other side of the world early. Everything in the Han Empire was made after all.

"Then you might as well take him to Chang'an to see it, and then go to the Wushan area." Chen Xi looked at Liu Chan, who had already had some momentum, and sent a voice to Liu Bei, "Thousands of books, thousands of miles of roads, look at books, look at the real society, look at the wealthy Chang'an, look at the remote mountainous areas, learn the sword of the emperor, learn the sword of the common people."

Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in silence, but he didn't expect that Chen Xi actually believed that Liu Chan had the qualifications to inherit the position of Liu Tong, just like him.

"Go, take your sister out for fun. I have something to talk about with your uncle Chen." Liu Bei sent Liu Chan out and asked Chen Xi to call him father in private. That was Liu Bei's hobby. Forget it in front of others, just like Xun Yu. He was interested in making Chen Qun, but in front of others, he was the right-hand man who was an official in the same court.

"Do you think Zen is good too?" Liu Bei asked at Chen Xi.

"The eldest son, and he is generous, he is pretty good." Chen Xi said casually.
