"I support you in this regard." Guo Jia said with a thumbs up, but before he finished speaking, Liu Bei turned sideways and looked at the two guys.

"You two can calm down." Liu Bei looked at Li You and Guo Jia, "Wenru, do you think Chen Xi has not given enough money in that aspect? Tell me, Zichuan, who says it reasonably, will definitely give money. You can rest assured in this aspect."

After a while, Liu Bei thought about it and said, "In fact, I see Zichuan's situation. It is highly likely that what you said is not reasonable. He will also give money, at most, give less, so I am a little curious about what the meaning of you embezzling Zichuan's funds for construction?"

"Let the military spending be more." Li You said naturally. He was not greedy for money, so there was nothing he could not say to Liu Bei. At most, he was caught by Chen Xi. But can Chen Xi beat him if he was caught? Of course, he couldn't.

Besides, even if Chen Xi wants to fight, he still needs to refer to the combat effectiveness of both sides. Li You thought that even if he was a little miserable now, it would be fine to fight five to ten Chen Xi. Chen Xi’s military formation theory is good. If you ask Chen Xi to try it out by yourself, Chen Xi will definitely be confused by controlling himself. Just like Han Fei is a master of the imperial mind, but his own practice is also a waste.

Although Chen Xi is not a waste of practical exercises, what Chen Xi's practical exercises and his theoretical abilities are actually much different.

"Come on, we need to have a good exchange at this time. Wenru, where do you think the military expenditure needs to be increased? Is the plate armor needs to be thickened, the weapons need to be updated, or the war horses, there are not enough frames, or other problems that can be solved with money have not been solved." Liu Bei said that I finally caught an opportunity to be used to criticize people.

In the past, Chen Xi was always yelling at him, but this time he caught a big boss who was not in the process of renewal, so that he could fight him.

Li You touched his chin and armor, it was not a problem at all. As long as you can wear it, Chen Xi can provide you with it. Even if you want to become a shield guard, Chen Xi can do it for you. Recently, I heard that the smelting department was going to open a small trumpet in the Ganges.

After all, compared with iron ore, the iron ore in the Central Plains is indeed garbage, with high-quality iron ore all over the map. There are only a few places in the Central Plains that do not need to screen ore. In addition, logistics transportation is too troublesome, so Chen Xi chose to open a branch base. Anyway, there are also large open-pit high-quality iron ore in India, so it's all right.

Eat the enemy for one bench and defeat yourself for ten benches. The same is true for using other people’s iron ore, and it can save you luck.

When armor is not a problem, weapons are not the same. Chen Xi wishes that every soldier is versatile, and it is best to be proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons. Anyway, it is just a casting cost, coal-iron-iron composite industrial body, even the most trashy can produce these on a large scale.

As for war horses and slow horses, the animal husbandry industry in northern Xinjiang is still expanding. Although it is impossible to match all front-line soldiers with war horses, this is really not a matter of money. Even Chen Xi cannot let the mare have a pony today and a pony mutate a horse tomorrow, which does not conform to the rules of biological growth.

If you spend enough money, you can solve this problem. That's a hell.

After thinking about it, Li You finally found that no one can solve the problem by continuing to increase military expenses. As for giving high benefits to the soldiers, forget it, Li You doesn't agree with this. Li You has always been inclined to the military merit system and seize everything with both hands. The system ensures the fairness of opportunities and promotions. Welfare and salary only ensures that you are alive.

"Look, you can't think of what you can do to continue to increase military expenses? You can't expand the army, right?" Liu Bei said to Li You with a smile. Li You nodded slowly when he heard this. It seemed that apart from expanding the army, he could not find the meaning of expanding the army expenses.

"However, it is impossible to expand the army." Liu Bei and Guo Jia looked at each other, looked at Guan Yu, who was also interested in communication between the two sides, and Li You who was thinking about it.

"We can't expand the army any longer." Yuan Shu, who has always been relatively second, could not see the level of human intelligence at all, said quietly, "The expansion of the army recruits young and strong people. They can build roads, bridges, and infrastructure all require young and strong people. In addition, farming and celibacy, the scale of the army cannot be expanded any longer."

Yuan Shu didn't know this before, but in the process of building roads everywhere, Yuan Shu really completed the process of traveling thousands of miles, clearly realizing how big the impact of population loss was. The Han Empire is now stable, which is really the result of Chen Xi's desperate efforts to increase the full-time population.

But the current social foundation makes Chen Xi dare not cross the 7% line. Although after that line, it will either enter a stage of rapid growth, and the deathly outbreak of urbanization and industrialization, or social unrest, warns later generations in a way that is called historical pain.

Chen Xi couldn't afford to bet. After all, Xiangli's power machine has been launched. Although there are still some problems, it is not far from manual control and gentle improvement, and adding controllable parameters to the social development curve by himself.

With the ability of the Xiangli people to continue to improve and streamline, it took less than five years for these people to simplify the core technology of the power machine to the point where ordinary craftsmen can replicate it. At that time, the state will control it and gradually liberate the people from the land, which is no more stable than this.

Li You was stunned when she heard this and looked at Yuan Shu. To be honest, Li You had always felt that the old Yuan family had chosen Yuan Shu as the heir for so many years, because Yuan Shu was so lucky.

What, you talk about ability. Yuan Shu's ability is not worth mentioning at all compared to Yuan Shu's luck. If Sun Ce is the protagonist who is full of kingly aura, then Yuan Shu is the protagonist's father and has his own aura of the European Emperor. He relies on his ability to make a living? Sorry, Yuan Shu can survive by luck until he can die.

As a result, Yuan Shu's words today made Li You feel a little emotional. This guy is really smart. He can see things he hasn't seen even if he hasn't seen.

"What kind of eyes are you?" Yuan Shu looked at Li You unhappily and said.

"Look at the eyes of mentally retarded." Liu Zhang replied in place of Li You.

"You are mentally retarded! I have to charge 16 years of tolls. If you lose one child, I will shovel the Chengdu Ring Road." Yuan Shu swears on the spot.

"You are waiting for a circle of nature's magical craftsmanship to grow outside your fiefdom!" Liu Zhang replied fearlessly. He was ready. If Yuan Shu didn't pay him the money collected on the Chengdu road, he would let Yuan Shu's fiefdom grow a circle of city walls outside, and I would collect city taxes one by one.

"If you dare to build a wall, I will dare to demolish your house." Yuan Shu said with his eyes on fire. He thought with his feet and knew what Liu Zhang wanted to do.

"What's wrong with these two people?" Li You took back his caring eyes from Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang and looked at Guo Jia and asked, while Liu Bei looked helpless. To be honest, no one wanted to take care of Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu. Even if the lawsuit is fought until the court meeting and Liu Tong come to the third department for the trial, it will not be solved.

Who would have thought that the four roads in Chengdu would charge so much money? Although everyone knew that they would make money, they knew that they could make so much. Yuan Shu originally planned to make some money, but after the direct route from Chang'an to Hanzhong and Hanzhong to Chengdu was opened, Chengdu went directly to heaven.

In addition, after the construction of the trading city in Jiangling, a group of northern merchants went to Chang'an to Hanzhong, then passed Chengdu, and then came a light boat that had crossed thousands of mountains and went straight to Jiangling.

This road is fast and stable, Chengdu is Tianfu again, and Shu Jin is famous all over the world. In addition, there are many large households in Shu. Many merchants sold things along the south of the Yangtze River, the Grand Canal, and the Yellow River in Chang'an, then purchased a batch of things in Chang'an, took the super highway from Chang'an to Hanzhong, and then took the Hancheng super highway, took the things, bought a batch of things from Chengdu, and walked along the Yangtze River.

I rushed to Jiangling and sold the things I bought in Chengdu, purchased a batch in Jiangling, and went south to the Yangtze River, south of the Yangtze River, the Grand Canal, the Yellow River, Chang'an, and another circle.

This is why the Wei family can make a lot of money, because everyone likes this kind of behavior of selling it over and over again. Anything can definitely be taken after a round of things, because this circulation method is equivalent to walking most of the country.

Yuan Shu, who was also planning to make some money on these roads, was like the wonder that grew on the Sanmenxia area and could not be bypassed.

Besides, Yuan Shu’s travel expenses were not high, but this was equivalent to a logistics channel, and everyone had to go. There were too many people. In the past two years, Yuan Shu not only recovered the cost, but also made a lot of money. After Liu Zhang learned to settle the accounts, he turned against him.

I treat you as a brother, and you treat me as a pig's head, it's too much!

In fact, if you really want to say that Liu Zhang just saw that Yuan Shu made too much, he felt unhappy. Of course, the most important thing is that Yuan Shu did trick Liu Zhang at that time.

But the contract was signed after all. If Yuan Shu himself was not strong enough, the contract would definitely be invalid, but Yuan Shu was tough enough. What are you afraid of when you sue? If the three officials can review it, you can beat me up? What a joke? I originally planned to laugh at you for a while, make another hundreds of millions of dollars, and then give it to you. Now that you are so aggressive, I decided to calm you down.

Liu Zhang was actually just sour. If Yuan Shu had returned it directly at that time, Liu Zhang would not have accepted it, but Yuan Shu would have asked him to call him father, and both sides would have argued. However, the two had a good temper and were not considered a stutter. It was just a matter of causing trouble, but Liu Zhang's level of causing trouble was relatively advanced.

If you charge me tolls, I will surround you and charge you tolls.

Similarly, Liu Zhang's incident ended in the Great Court meeting and the Third Office's trial, but there was no result. If Liu Zhang himself was relatively fragile, the walls or the Great Wall would definitely be illegal buildings. But the problem is that Liu Zhang is also a well-known man with a strong background.

So Liu Zhang could pat his chest and say, "Your fief is here, but my fief is not here?" This Han Dynasty hall was not owned by your family, so who are you?

Both sides disgusted each other. In fact, no one accepted the complaints now. Even if they hit Man Chong, Man Chong would not accept them. When talking about the fairness of the law, we must first understand the manifestation of the will of the ruling class. You two are more able to solve the problem by fighting each other with turtles.

"These two things." Li You sighed, "How to deal with that last path."

"It was not handled. In the early years, there was a private reporting road, and there was no requirement to be operated by the state at that time, but Zichuan seemed to want to take it back." Liu Bei shook his head. He knew that Yuan Shu had made a lot of money, but Liu Bei had no intention of pursuing this reasonable and legal money. After all, there was a great factor in luck.

"Will Zichuan recycle it?" Li You curled his lips and said. Li You didn't believe this. "Zichuan would not do such a thing. In this regard, he would rather find other solutions than take back what he had promised."

"If you don't take it back, the highway will probably have a long time to have a fight with Ji Yu." Liu Bei shook his head and said, but he was too lazy to care about these two people. He grinned his teeth and then went to drink wine again.

"By the way, the rail train is about to get started. I heard that the cargo flow in Chengdu is relatively large." Guo Jia said casually, as if he was hinting at something. Liu Bei didn't understand, but Li You understood. Isn't this clearly robbing Yuan Shu's share?

"It's just Zichuan at first glance." Li You shook his head repeatedly. The rail trains were faster than Yuan Shu's highway, and the carrying capacity was more exaggerated. More importantly, according to Chen Xi's habit, the price would be cheaper. In this case, the ring road built by Yuan Shu around Chengdu would probably be endless and would have to be cooler. But thinking about it, Yuan Shu should have enough.

"The domestic situation looks very good. In fact, due to population problems, there have been certain hidden dangers. It's just that Zichuan has covered it up with various methods. We really have to rest." Liu Bei sighed and said.

Liu Bei had never thought before that anyone could use manpower to this level. At other times, if the mobilization of troops of this scale and such a long distance of troops, hundreds of thousands of troops would lead to the decline of the people's livelihood in the country.

"I think Zichuan is not covering it up. Zichuan is probably considering solutions to the problem, but some plans will not work in the short term." Li You shook his head. After working with Chen Xi for so many years, he did not believe that Chen Xi did not expect this situation.

In fact, just looking at the current situation of singing and dancing in China, Li You knew that Chen Xi's control over the national organizational strength was still quite good, and it was still quite far from the so-called unbearable, and even thought more deeply. What Liu Bei and Guo Jia said might be Chen Xi told them.

There must be some reason, but to say that it is really endangered to that level, it is definitely more than just that. No matter what, Chen Xi has a reserved plan for beyond the outline.

"Tsk, it seems that you and I have the same idea, but whatever they say is, I don't care about internal affairs." Guo Jia said casually, and Li You glanced at him. He knew that Guo Jia asked him to take over this matter, but he really didn't want to do it.
