Chapter 4030 New Business
After prying out the orbit of China from the cycle of reincarnation, which will lead to reunion and separation for a long time, Chen Xi rarely has the idea of eagerness for quick success and instant benefits. If you slow down, slow down and work hard, you will work hard. Anyway, China has broken out of the circle of Xiaojiuzhou and is no longer in the previous reincarnation.
The road ahead is fast or slow, as long as you don’t fall back, it will only get closer and closer to success, so Chen Xi’s mentality is very calm.
Before, when Chen Xi faced this situation in the later generations of Shaanxi and other places, he would definitely have the idea of being eager for quick success and instant benefits, but now, Chen Xi can face this reality.
"Then let's follow this road?" Liu Bei himself had no purpose, but just took Chen Xi out to relax and prevent Chen Xi from immersing himself in those boring self-blame.
Even though Chen Xi has good self-adjustment ability, for Liu Bei, it is better to avoid such things, and bring them out to relax. Anyway, Chen Xi doesn't work, so he is relaxed, and can do longer work.
This time, Liu Bei was really in the atmosphere, and the service life issue still needs to be considered.
"Let's go and see how this road leads to the other direction of the north land." Chen Xi said indifferently.
The Loess Plateau in later generations belonged to Yongzhou and Bingzhou during this period. Needless to say, those close to Bingzhou were basically sucked away by the ranch.
Chen Xi had no good idea yet, so he could only follow the second plan, which was to shovel out a piece of land suitable for establishing counties and counties in that complex terrain, absorb the population of mountainous areas, and let the other party walk out of the Loess Plateau. As for the effect, this time I happened to go and take a look.
"The Beidi Ranch is very well built." Liu Bei said thoughtfully. After all, he went to the Beidi Ranch in person. Liu Bei had a really good sense of the senses there. He had his own military support and provided meat and milk on a large scale. He was a very important position.
It is precisely because it is too important that Liu Bei will evaluate the bureaucrats arranged there and need to be periodic rotation. Because it is too important, it not only solves the local food problem, but also maintains national stability, and is an important support for military strength.
"If you really want to say it, it's okay." Chen Xi thought about it and said, but he didn't expect anything else, and he thought of the big horned deer raised by Jiang Qi, the red deer raised by Liu Ru, etc.
"Although you built these things, I always feel that you still have the least attention to them." Liu Bei said quietly.
"Ah, that's not the case. I seldom underestimate others." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
"That probably is that in your eyes what they did not do as much as you want." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi's clear eyes and said with a smile, Chen Xi was speechless.
"You guy, I don't know if it's arrogance or because you are pushing yourself to others." Liu Bei said with a smile, really having nothing to say to Chen Xi.
"It doesn't count, because there is indeed room for growth." Chen Xi scratched his head and said. Animal Husbandry is almost the only industry in the Han Dynasty that could be comparable to China in the later industrial era, because compared with the capital that can be invested in later generations, this era can guarantee ten times the amount of money!
In fact, such small things are an important part of destroying the personal constraints of the clan and a way to destroy the absolute authority of the bureaucrats. No matter what, factory and mine managers are still different from bureaucrats in this era.
In this way, the factory and mine managers continue to advance construction and build a new city in the wilderness, and then the bureaucrats are not in place, but continue to operate, and finally serve as the bureaucratic system, which is itself dismantling the authority of the bureaucrats.
Just like Liu Bang's descendants, I wanted to cleanse Liu Bang, but there were a group of happy old guys around me, saying, Come on, you have never seen your Gaozu, but we have seen it. It would be fine if you blow on some unimportant details. When we blow on these, we look like fake things, and I'm afraid we're not blind!
So I can only let it go, just hooligans.
Similarly, the overall environment of factories and mines is there, and if you understand it more, it will be impossible to have any sacredness. What the bureaucrats say from the perspective of industrial structure also belongs to the tertiary industry. If you want to say special, it is probably that the service industry has a relatively powerful source of functions.
However, Chen Xi was too lazy to explain this kind of thing. If you want to transform this era, it is not realistic to just Chen Xi. Wang Mang's steps are too big and he is gone, so it is more realistic. If you can easily touch it, you can start directly. If you can't touch it easily, you can leave a seed.
Anyway, the times are developing, and it is not certain when these seeds can take root and sprout and grow into giant trees in the sky.
"Oh, so that's it." Liu Bei nodded. Although Chen Xi did not explain the reason, he thought from the perspective of human relationships and felt that the state-owned factories and mines and ranchers finally pulled up a piece of white land to create a prosperous county government, and then airborne a group of new people took over all positions in the county government.
This is not reasonable no matter how you say it, so even if you don’t comply with the rules and do not arrange positions and let the other party take over as a part-time position, it is better than taking over the airborne power.
"But if we want to deal with Jizhou this time, I'm afraid the major counties in the north will also need to move, and the same is true for the smelting department." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.
"Transfer those personnel from their original management positions in state-owned factories and mines, and then take positions like the county magistrate they had served as the former deputy?" Liu Bei instantly understood Chen Xi's intention, but his expression was obviously hesitant, "If this is the case, is it a bit indebted?"
"Ah, let's talk about it later if you owe it or not. After all, they were just part-time positions before and did not have any clear texts. Now they have given Yin Shou, which is a new way to join the job, but it's a pity." Chen Xi obviously looked hesitant on his face.
During this period, the owners of the large ranch in the north were carefully selected by Chen Xi...
Well, it was the important animal husbandry talents that Liu Yan searched all over the world and plundered from all over the country to ask his grandparents to sue him. The most suitable profession for these people is to be the managers of the country's large-scale animal husbandry industry. If they become officials, these people cannot be considered excellent.
Just like Jiang Qi and Liu Ru, these two people actually don’t want to be officials because they are not good at managing people, and even their own ranches are managed by their subordinates, and their positioning is more equivalent to that of chief engineers.
Management is not good, but the two of them have strong technical abilities, so strong that senior executives can be replaced, but chief engineers cannot be replaced, so it is nonsense to make these two people become officials.
Similarly, the nominal administrators of the thirteen early ranches were basically this kind of technical talents. They may know how to manage, but management is definitely not what they are best at.
"Then you can send the documents to them and they can recommend them." Liu Bei said indifferently. Since he didn't want them to leave, he just didn't give them to them.
When Chen Xi heard this, he looked at Liu Bei with anger. You thought this kind of thing, I couldn't think of it. The problem is that there are officials who are in it. Chen Xi gave a letter of recommendation, and the other party must have been decisively becoming an official. The problem is that Chen Xi doesn't want these professional talents to become officials.
I went to be an official, but then the person failed to withstand the temptation and was ruined. Isn’t this a big loss?
Although Chen Xi complained that the construction of the ranch was not as good as he thought, it is already very good to have achieved this level in this era.
The simplest answer is that you let three or four of these thirteen people go to serve as officials now, and then ask Liu Yan to find a few more characters who can replace him, but Liu Yan can't find them.
At this level, it is basically a carrot and a pit, so Chen Xi doesn't want to let anyone go.
"It's me at this time." Liu Bei said confidently, "Adjust their empty positions so that they can control local bureaucrats, and then let them elect bureaucrats who work in the local area. Of course, if they don't recommend them, they can accept it and let them serve on the same position. This way, they have face and inner feelings, and the officials are satisfied."
"..." Chen Xi had nothing to say. This really means not treating local county-level officials as human beings. Chen Xi thought that although he was sometimes a little inhuman, it was still very different from Liu Bei's gameplay that directly ignored the rules when necessary.
In fact, Chen Xi was thinking a little wrong. Liu Bei did not ignore the county-level bureaucrats, but simply figured it out, or was more direct. Liu Bei was thinking about the problem from the perspective of selling official positions and titles.
Compared to Chen Xi, he had to look back and forth, and Liu Bei didn't have to think about these messy things at all. The county was led by these ranchers, and the cattle and sheep were also built by these ranchers.
The position of a county-level bureaucrat was only between one million and tens of millions of dollars during the reign of Emperor Ling. For example, in the northern land and Jiuyuan, there was no oil or water, and it was destroyed to counties with no population and no plunder. After a price was paid, no one bought it.
Now there is a big man who has a net worth of millions of cattle and sheep, with a total price of more than one billion, and a steady output, providing meat and dairy products to the people of the north. He wants to take over such counties that have no oil and water before, and basically guarantees that he will not mess around.
Then what else is there to say? The Spirit Emperor knows how to deal with it. Of course, it is for it. Even if it is changed to the Spirit Emperor's reign, you will be willing to do such good things, buy one and get three for free.
What? You want a county magistrate of Jiuyuan County, which produces hundreds of thousands of sheep, thousands of horses, thousands of cows every year, and dairy products worth hundreds of millions of yuan?
What else can I say about this? The county magistrate of Jiuyuan County will make arrangements for you today. If you give me more, you can make arrangements for you, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Shuofang, and Yanmen.
The same is true for Liu Bei's way of thinking. Although it is not good to receive private lessons, the other party gave enough. In fact, this group of people has actually been in charge for several years, and there have been some random disasters. Now they want to give them.
So compared to Chen Xi's complex way of thinking, Liu Bei is simple. How could the math problems that the late emperor could calculate clearly can still stump me?
"Isn't this solved? What's the point of struggling with this?" Liu Bei said indifferently. There is nothing to be embarrassed about when it is easy to understand math problems and easily solved.
"I just feel that some people don't treat middle-level bureaucrats as human beings." Chen Xi said quietly, "But that's it. After all, it's a solution. Then that's it."
Liu Bei didn't care at all about it when he heard this. He didn't think there was any problem with doing this. Selling official positions and titles is certainly not a good thing, but if you have a scale in your mind as a reference, you will naturally know what level of these border counties in Jiuyuan and Yunzhong are.
"Brother, are you also going to Niyang for inspection?" Just as Chen Xi came out of this house and looked around, the frame that was originally several miles away in front of Chen Xi and his party was caught up by Chen Xi and his party because of the lunch break. After seeing Chen Xi, the other party greeted him from afar.
"Ah, yes, go to Niyang for a look." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Brother, have you been there too? You have brought a lot of goods."
"Go and have a look. I heard there are some cheap fruit products over there." The middle-aged man who looked a little rich said happily, and didn't care about exposing his own information. After all, this trip was just an investigation, and no one knew what the result was.
"Go together, go together." Chen Xi ran out of the frame, then jumped down, and greeted the opposite side, "I also do some dried fruit business here. Maybe my brother has bought and sold the dried fruits I produce. By the way, what kind of dried fruits I collect."
"What are the dried fruits of big brothers? We are from Wudu, Liangzhou. The surname is Li and the name is Jun. My parents don't give me a name, so I can't use it. I run around and work hard." Li Jun said generously, and there was no feeling that I was inferior without words.
Then when Chen Xi was about to say that he had made the Chu and persimmon cakes, Liu Bei got out of the car, looked at Li Jun twice, and greeted Li Jun, "Ah, Li Jun, long time no see, you actually went into business, didn't you say you had returned to Liangzhou to become an instructor?"
What does it mean that your friends not only do not help you cover up, but also deliberately let you get into trouble. Now, Liu Bei has no way to play private visits on the phone, because he himself doesn’t know how many people he can know and how many people he knows him.
"Ah? Ah!" Li Jun was shocked, "Taiwei, why are you here?"
"With the one next to you, you are relaxing." Liu Bei greeted Li Jun. He didn't have any special feeling about Li Jun knowing him. The people who know him are older and the people he knows are older. By the way, just by the way, you can tell that it was Liu Bei who gave it.
Without even words, how could it be so beautiful? Of course, Liu Bei named this guy Li Lao Er, the one Li Lao San, and there were many Li Lao San, so he couldn't tell the difference, so he named this group of guys himself.
Of course, those who could ask Liu Bei to name the name were all veterans who had very good results on the battlefield. Just like Li Jun in front of him, he was actually a disabled person. When fighting against the outside world, his legs broke. The strong vitality of training Qi to form a gang allowed him to save his life.
"Horse Chen?" Li Jun's brain speed reached a hundred miles, and he quickly reacted and replied quickly. Chen Xi waved his hand resentfully, saying that it was indeed him and he could not keep a low profile when he came out with Liu Bei. He had a private visit on the covers of the white dragon fish? What a joke, he was recognized on the spot.
What's more, Liu Bei never concealed the fact that he could know the locals. As long as people came out, Liu Bei would say hello and would never turn a blind eye.
"Uh, but I do have a business of dried fruit. My persimmon cakes and Feng Chugan are already buying them." Chen Xi said very seriously. He was not joking, but he really bought them very well, especially the persimmon cakes.
Compared with the thing like Chow Chu, which has really not increased its output this year, the persimmon production is quite reliable in any era. In addition, the shelf life of persimmon cakes is very excellent, the frosting content is very high, and it can even be sold to Rome, so persimmon processing is also a very good industry.
I have to mention here that the added value of the persimmon industry is actually not high, and it is the kind that is hung up by coconuts. Because the persimmon industry chain process is too short and there are too few additional ones, and the R&D efforts in history are not sufficient, Chen Xi can copy too few.
Just like the total value of the banana industry can reach hundreds of billions, coconuts can reach hundreds of billions, and persimmons can only reach tens of billions, but even so, it can still be used to hang up the luxury goods such as persimmon cakes, so Chen Xi still started a persimmon-cake-related industry. After all, this simple job that can make money can certainly not be missed.
However, this business can only be used internally after two years, but no one can do it externally because the Romans who ate persimmon cakes in the past two years have transplanted the persimmon tree to Spain. It is estimated that in a few years, Rome will produce and sell it on its own. After all, this thing is really not technically difficult.
Even if there is, it is basically impossible to stop the study of a powerful empire like Rome.
Li Jun's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he still didn't say anything in the end. How many industries does Chen Xi have under his name? Not to mention Li Jun, Liu Ye couldn't understand, but the other party said there was, then there must be.
"Can you be cheap?" Li Jun suddenly felt clear for a moment and asked a question.
"Ah, if you want to be cheap, I suggest you go to Xinzhou to plant melons. The land there is cheap, the lighting is suitable, the quality of the melons is good, and the melon planting business is very good." Chen Xi was asked by Li Jun for a moment, and then said that the God of Wealth showed you a clear road. The eastern road from Xinzhou to Chang'an has been repaired. If you go to plant melons, this melon will keep sweet. Whether it is planting cantaloupe or watermelon, you won't lose money.
In the past, if you planted in a place with a suitable climate in the Western Regions, you will definitely suffer a loss. However, now the roads that have been built since the time when Cao Cao was in charge of Yongzhou have been completely integrated to the eastern part of the Western Regions. After planting, you will be transported directly to Chang'an. As long as the frame and horses are ready, it will not take a few days.
Taking the shelf life after picking melons, this time has not passed, let alone the shelf life. As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an has an explosive consumption capacity. As long as it is transported over, it will definitely be digested. This business is absolutely profitable, because the first melon eater has not yet appeared.
In addition, all melons pay attention to climatic conditions. With the same seeds, the watermelons planted in Weiyang Palace may not grow even higher than the New South Wales under Sima Lang's rule. It can be said that this is simply a business that starts with Tianhu, absolutely stable profits and no loss. It is a guide for the God of Wealth.
"This?" Li Jun was a little confused. "Even if this melon is ripe, it will cost a lot of money to transport it to Chang'an. Such a long distance, no, no, the shipping fee is too expensive."
This is the problem. In normal perception, freight costs at this distance will be more expensive than fruit itself. But in fact, the logistics industry, as the blood that runs through all core industries, is the basis for revitalizing various places.
Isn’t Chen Xi’s desperate efforts in infrastructure just to wait for the logistics industry to develop and distribute materials from various places to various places at appropriate prices?
The logistics industry has developed to a point where it is crazy, and may even appear in normal logic, which is a price inversion operation.
For example, you can buy a set of kitchen utensils at a low price using coupons, discounts and various messy activities. The quality of the kitchen utensils itself is that they are normally qualified products, but the money is only about ten yuan. Then the store will send you from the south to the north and finally to your hometown.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the more than ten yuan you have paid is a problem whether the freight rate for sending things from the south to the north is enough.
Just this, there are even even more crazy people. When the store is rushing for a dollar, they buy small items and mail them to you home. If you think about it carefully, let alone the things you bought, you don’t know where to go for transportation.
This is the real crazy place. However, this kind of thing seems very normal in later generations. Northerners spend more than ten yuan to buy small items from the south and mail them to their homes. Southerners spend more than ten yuan to buy small items from the north and mail them to their homes. It is so sparse that everyone is used to it.
But in fact, if you really need to calculate one by one, the logistics cost alone is enough to make people crazy.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi sent Huangfu Song things and then hand-published the orders directly at the end, because the logistics industry must have a scale to dilute the freight rate. It is obvious that if New South Wales engages in agricultural products on a large scale and relies on the Western Regions Channel, the freight rate can be greatly reduced.
After all, Jian Yong has been engaged in logistics in recent years, and the key to order-buying and resource integration is the key. If Li Jun wants to ride the wind and help Jian Yong buy orders now, it is very likely to take off when he takes a ride. As for getting rich, it is not impossible.
It’s just that getting rich like this requires capital, and Li Jun’s capital depends on his current situation, but it is definitely not thick. So Chen Xi pointed out the way in the face, but how to go depends on Li Jun’s own idea.
"I'll ask one thing, what if I plant melons in the Jincheng area?" Li Junsi thought about it and said with some embarrassment. When he arrived in Xinzhou, he was really unsure.
"Jincheng cannot grow Hami melons, they can only grow watermelons." Chen Xi said with a smile, and then Li Jun asked again. Chen Xi no longer answered, and the God of Wealth should still be reserved.
Seeing that Chen Xi didn't say anything, Li Jun didn't ask for anything, he turned to the frame to find the jerky, dried fruit, and canned food he brought. Since he had met it, he would at least treat the two to a meal.
