Chen Xi nodded to Guo Kai after hearing this. Indeed, he gave up a lot of things, gave up a lot of personal desires, and handled many things as fairly as possible. Isn’t the reason also because it is worth it?

Compared with those external things, the pursuit that comes from the soul can drive people forward more.

"The results are still very abundant." Lu Su looked through the official documents and handed the official documents reported in the north to Guo Kai. Most people cannot read such things, but Lu Su handed them to Guo Kai, "Look, you have your contributions in it."

Guo Kai was a little at a loss, but in the end he took the document, which was a test on the transportation time and efficiency of meat in the North Ranch. This test looked quite funny, but this thing was related to what price the people in the north could eat meat at and what level the overall level of materials that could be shared.

Therefore, after completing this stage, testing is something that has to be done.

Finally, the test report based on Bingzhou Logistics and Transportation Network was delivered to Lu Su's desktop with a very detailed data template. How to say it did not reach the level required by Chen Xi, but it was already within an acceptable range for others.

"Are you able to transfer meat with supporting facilities?" Guo Kai looked at the data in surprise. Although he was not good at this before, he always had to use these mathematical calculation tools in the past two years. Over time, he became much more familiar with it.

"Look, you have underestimated yourself." Lu Su said with a smile, "Yes, it's OK. Although it has not met Zichuan's requirements, Zichuan's requirements are not considered normally for us. This is already very good now."

In the past, it took too long to transfer to villages and was prone to rot in spring, summer and autumn. In fact, if it was transported purely by road, according to the current level of the Han Dynasty, it could be transported to various places when equipped with cellar ice cubes.

However, due to the scattered distribution of counties and counties, an effective transportation network is basically impossible to form, which inevitably leads to the high temperature during the transfer process.

At that time, the Han Dynasty also considered the issue of ice cellar storage, but if it was built in various villages, it would be unrealistic on the one hand, and the cost was too high on the other hand.

Although there have been ice cellars in China since the Zhou Dynasty, the manufacturing cost of this thing is too high. Even Chen Xi felt it was unbearable to build an ice cellar that could not melt for a year. So, when Chen Xi was thinking about it again and again, he gave up the ice cellar.

Giving a whole ice cellar to a village is not to mention anything else, the cost alone is enough for Chen Xi to be too big. Even if Liu Yan finds a professional to reduce the cost of insulation technology as much as possible, he still can't afford it, and in the end the matter can only be left alone.

Of course, Chen Xi has not considered building an ice cellar in several villages, but where to build it and how to use it effectively are all problems, so he can only give up in the end.

After Guo Kai emerged and had the ability to make the best solution for point layout, during the construction of the logistics park, Chen Xi realized that it could build an ice cellar inside the logistics park.

Because this point is the optimal solution, it means that the point is definitely the shortest distance to the nearby villages, and in fact it fully meets Chen Xi's requirements back then.

More importantly, the construction of ice cellars is consistent with the basic ideas of steel furnaces. If the construction is too small, the unit cost is too high. Only when the construction is large can the cost be recovered. Moreover, if the construction is large, the cooling and etching developed by Zhou Yu can be carried out.

But when there was no Guo Kai before, you built too big. As an ice cellar shared by several surrounding villages, you can't determine where to place it is the best solution, especially in places with hills, mountains, mountains, rivers, and rivers, which is simply deadly.

Guo Kai's spiritual talent solved this problem, and the ice cellar was established. After the ice cellar was established, the transportation of meat was no longer a problem.

As for the ice cube problem in the ice cellar, it is not something Chen Xi needs to consider. Whether it is adding a few pieces in the military service or taking turns to exert force, etc., it can solve the problem. After all, only if there are ice cubes in the ice cellar, there is affordable meat to eat, which is very realistic.

Therefore, after trying to build an ice cellar and clearly informing the benefits of establishing an ice cellar, at the end of last year, local people either cut ice cubes from local rivers to transport it to the ice cellar, or poured ice cubes from wooden barrels to deliver it to the ice cellar.

After all, in the north these days, the temperature is still very low after winter. Under the leadership of the local village chief, the ice cellar was soon filled.

However, some disharmonious things happened in the middle. For example, the five villages share an ice cellar. This village cuts more ice cubes and that village cuts less ice cubes, and conflicts will occur when the time comes to use.

Of course, this is not that some villages are lazy, but that they can stuff ice into the ice cellar more and they are stuffing ice into the ice cellar as much as possible. The ice cubes these days are very expensive, and each piece of stored ice is worth a lot of money in summer.

In addition, the technology of making ice with ice, the new ice made from a bowl of ice in summer, relying on the old ice in winter, is not added, and it is directly the spring water white ice, which is worth one or two cents. The purchasing power of the Wuzhu coins in the Han Dynasty is very stable.

Therefore, when I learned that my family could store ice in the ice cellar, the logistics park would charge a 30% management fee, and the local people also took advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do in winter, so they would get buckets of water and make a few wooden boxes outdoors, and they would drag them to the ice cellar a few pieces of ice. Next year, they would be money-free. This is equivalent to picking up money for nothing.

After all, in the Han Dynasty, when there was no air conditioner, cooling in summer was a big problem, so ice cubes were extremely precious in summer. Even if it was not processed, it would be a lot of money to sell the old ice directly, and there would always be someone who needed it.

After all, a large ice cellar can only store two or three thousand cubic meters of ice. If this amount of ice is really cooled down in summer, it may be enough for one or two large households.

So after the ice cellar in the logistics park was opened, a few days after winter, that is, the day when ice can be made by the weather, the ice cellar was filled.

There is no way. No matter what era, there will be someone to do business that can make money.

As for selling ice in summer, it has appeared this year. The ice that can be sold in Bingzhou Ice Cellar has sold out, leaving only the 30% retained by the logistics park for management fees.

Although people come to ask from time to time whether to sell it, Jian Yong knows very well what he does, so he will not sell the remaining ice cubes at will. These ice cubes are the basis for ensuring the freshness of meat. If you want to sell it, then you will put the cart before the horse?

Because of this clear bottom line, after the logistics park was laid this year, the counties in Bingzhou have basically ensured that meat can be delivered to all places safely, which can be said to be a great progress.

"Seeing these achievements, I have more confidence to continue working." The pride in Guo Kai's smile was almost unblocked.

"Now I have only made Bingzhou. Next, Jizhou is the big one. Bingzhou is vast and sparsely populated. Considering that there is a lot of room for turnover, Jizhou only made one framework at that time, and experienced another turmoil in the officialdom. It will be handled well." Chen Xi said to Guo Kai with a smile.

"Actually, in Jizhou's words..." Guo Kai said with a little hesitation. He didn't know whether he should say this. After all, what he really wanted to say was somewhat out of line.

"If you have anything you want to say, you are considered an adjutant of the Department of First Division and are qualified to give suggestions on such matters." Chen Xi said to Guo Kai, and he also wanted to hear what Guo Kai wanted to say.

"Actually, if you really want to do logistics and laying, it is better to adjust the location of some cities." Guo Kai thought about it and still did not hide it. After all, he had been to Jizhou when he followed Jian Yong in the first year, so he knew the problems of Jizhou.

After Guo Kai said this, Lu Su was the first to smile, and then Chen Xi shook his head, "Actually, if you are purely on the standpoint of convenient transportation, what you said is correct, but unfortunately. In Jizhou, many cities cannot move."

"That's it." Guo Kai nodded and said nothing. He was indeed considering the issue from the perspective of transportation and logistics.

"Some things are already there, and they can't get around it. They can only obtain the best result in the current situation based on the current reality." Chen Xi said helplessly.

Just like Ji Village and Village merger, Chen Xi also knew that the way he had merged village mergers was not the best solution at the current national level.

It is true that the merger of villages and villages is the most correct plan in any case, and it is also the basis for all Chen Xi's current governance methods.

There are no large villages with more than a thousand people or even two thousand people, and many supporting facilities in Chen Xi cannot be built. Without these supporting facilities, Chen Xi will find it difficult to manage the world, and it is even more impossible to penetrate the regime into the local area.

To put it too much, Liu Bei knew people in every village. One important point is that the current villages were forcibly merged together by Chen Xi. Only after they became large villages could they have the foundation to support a complete militia team.

If it was the case of a dozen households and dozens of households in a village, it would be nonsense to have a militia captain leading a militia team, a supply and marketing cooperative, and a popularization of education.

Suppose that if more than a dozen households are in a village and two more people eat, it will be fatal in this era when the supplies are not abundant, not to mention that militias that can hunt beasts, provide schools, communicate inside and outside, convey information, build other new industries, etc.

This requires enough manpower to start. If you don’t gather villages and merge villages, Chen Xi can’t do anything. At least it is completely impossible to extend the tentacles of the national political system to the level of the village. Without this skill, even if you remove the aristocratic family, you will not be able to solve any problem.

The current system of the Han Dynasty, which is said to be the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, is actually mixed with many different things, and the division of classes has gradually become clear. It is a complete system for the people and another system for the aristocratic families. These systems are interspersed with each other, but they are not inconsistent.

But the foundation of these systems is all based on the combination of villages and villages. Without this, everything else is a castle in the air. With this, the others have a foundation for operation.

However, I really want to say that Chen Xi’s merger of villages is perfect?

Chen Xi didn't believe it. He could see that when the village was merged, the location arranged in the new village was not the best. Some villages were even the best, and based on the current comprehensive consideration, the location was even a bit scary.

But can Chen Xi adjust one by one? It is completely impossible. He can only make mistakes, unless the location of some villages is really a scam and will adjust them, and the rest will do the same.

"It is impossible to adjust one by one, unless there are major problems in the layout." Li You also explained to Guo Kai, "And such major problems must be adjusted after being solved and have the benefits of being so popular. Otherwise, you can only pass it like this first."

It is impossible to move. Chen Xi could no longer move Linzi City for several miles as he was in Mount Tai when Fa Zheng was the prime minister of Qi with an order.

A large part of the reason why Fa Zheng could do that at that time was that Fa Zheng was strong enough, and that people could control local bureaucrats. If someone else moved, even if there were benefits in the future and the benefits were visible, they might have fallen before they could move.

To be honest, even in the heyday of the Han Dynasty, there were not many civil officials at the level of Fa Xiaozhi. Don’t look at this guy who is out of the way, he is a real big shot.

Guo Kai nodded in a slight sense of understanding. He had never experienced political struggles and had always been working. Naturally, someone helped him handle other things well. He had never considered how much impact the urban migration would have on the local area and how many changes in interests would be.

"But in Jizhou, I know that there is a city that will definitely be moved." Chen Xi said with a smile, while Li You nodded expressionlessly when he heard this. Yuanshi City must be moved.

"Shengzhi, after you arrive in Jizhou, remember to go to Changshan County and discuss it with Gu Prefect. Although he has already selected the position, after the new county magistrate's office is selected, other county magistrates may also need to be adjusted. Then you can help him adjust it to the best." Chen Xi reminded Guo Kai.

After Gu Xi got the money from Li You, in addition to building roads, the rest was to move the city. The goal was basically to move to the Hutuo River, and later Shijiazhuang, connecting the roads between Bingzhou and Youzhou, and becoming the northern logistics distribution center.

The plan was done well and the money was obtained, but the construction has not started yet.

If it were someone else, Li You and Liu Ye would definitely send someone to check what was going on, whether the money was dredged or the design was a problem. However, since the prefect of Changshan was Gu Xi, the moral level of that person was too outrageous, neither of them thought they had seen it.

I guess Gu Xi is rich and destined to do the best, but he can't find the best layout, so he can only wait for Jian Yong to go there.
