Chen Xi actually considered that the Romans were not completely crazy, but because they didn't store enough food, what would they do after they were crazy. However, Chen Xi had thought about various possibilities, but never thought that Rome would come up with such a treacherous plan, but such a reasonable plan.

How to say this method? It completely solved the problem of farming technology in Rome. It directly allowed the Yuan family to farm, and then went to Italy through the Volga and Don Rivers.

As for land, you only need to take the land route of less than 100 kilometers between the Volga River and the Don River, which is the main war zone between the Yuan family and Rome before. According to the traffic conditions of the Don River and the Volga River, transport ships less than 5,000 tons can be used during the non-freezing period, and there is basically no problem with transportation.

The Roman Empire still does not know that the Volga River can lead to all parts of Eastern Europe, but the Roman Empire at least knew that the old Yuan family had no logistical pressure to reach a location less than 100 kilometers from the Don River by the Volga River, because Huangfu Song's camp had been there for several years.

If the logistics pressure is very high, even if the Yuan family wants to hold on, it will not be possible.

With this understanding, the Roman Empire didn't need to think too much, just consider letting the Yuan family farm. No matter where the Yuan family planted the fields, the Yuan family could definitely transport them to a location 100 kilometers away from the Don River without much loss.

It is true that the loss of land transportation of 100 kilometers is also very large, but at least in Rome's bearing range and road quality are relatively good, three days are enough.

In fact, Sergio's inspiration at that moment was that instead of recruiting people to farm in Eastern Europe, it was better to let the Yuan family farm in Eastern Europe and transport it over.

Not to mention anything else, the Chinese people in the Yuan family are all good at farming in Eastern Europe. If the soldiers transferred to farm on the spot, they could also farm, and their farming level was quite good.

With Rome's reconnaissance ability, at least we knew that the Yuan family had several large-scale agricultural reclamation armies west of the Ural Mountains.

Of course, this is normal. The Yuan family is working with Rome in the upper reaches of the tributary of the Volga River. Considering the logistics transfer cost, they have to organize several agricultural reclamation armies west of the Ural Mountains. Otherwise, it would be a brainless person to transport grain from east of the Ural Mountains.

In fact, from the beginning when the war broke out in the upper reaches of the Volga River and Rome, the Yuan family vigorously promoted the land reclamation on the west side of the Ural Mountains. In the early days, a large number of Slavs reclaimed land, providing Slavs with food and wine shops.

Because of the distilled spirits, the Slavs didn't mind working hard to reclaim land and farm and exchange wine. As a result, the land was reclaimed, and the fields were not planted, and more than 100,000 acres of black soil were reclaimed, but the grain was not enough to exchange for wine and drink, Yuan Tan was stunned.

Xu You even sent him to investigate several times and finally confirmed that the Slavs did reclaim more than 100,000 mu of land, but because civilization is at the level of fishing and hunting, farming is too garbage, and it is simply abandoned farming and too wasteful.

It was not until Cyprian joined the Yuan family, helped the Yuan family reorganized the organizational structure, clarified the Slavs' responsibilities, revised the original blood tax, and established a strange structure like the Agricultural Reclamation Legion and the Knights.

The Slavs undertake the task of reclamation. The land that was reclaimed by the state and handed over to migrant Han people for farming, and then the Han people who used the land assumed the wine and water production of this land.

In other words, the so-called Slavs used to farm and change wine to produce grain outputs that were borne by the Han people who farmed. However, in this process, the Slavs did not contact the Han people and were handled by the state, which means that they were directly included in taxation.

Originally, this kind of operation would have major problems, resulting in the tax rate of the Han people being too high. However, the Slavs had basically no civilization before the fifth century. They mainly focused on fishing and hunting, and could not farm at all. The approved output was far lower than the per mu of the Han people.

In this way, even if this tax is added, the Han people are willing to accept this policy without investing in the cost of land reclamation. After all, the tax is not high, and it is true that the land falls into hands.

Although Cyprian's tax law clearly informed that the land that was reclaimed by the Slavs belonged to the state in essence after being transferred to the Han people, as long as the person who owned this land paid taxes on time, no matter who the land was in hand, it could be sold.

This is very outrageous, but this point is completely in line with the various European habits of selling. The right to keep tax is an evolution of selling. Cyprian was ultimately influenced by the Roman Empire and unconsciously embarked on the path of selling.

Even if it belongs to the country, it can be sold. At most, it only has a different sales basis. In essence, this kind of sales is actually a secondary subcontract, but do you just say it is considered a sale?

It is difficult for the Han people to see higher-level operations. They can only see the tax reform in the provisions and cannot understand the things behind the tax reform. The Slavs got the fields and also farmed for wine. Now they only need to reclaim land and there is wine without farming. So how can they choose? This kind of information asymmetry has made both parties get what they want.

It is precisely because of this that the Yuan family successfully spread from Sizhao City east of the Ural Mountain to the west of the Ural Mountain, and spread little by little towards the black soil to the west.

This speed is very slow, but the pace is very stable, because every generation of Slavs wants to drink alcohol all the time, at least a few hundred acres of land must be cultivated. When this generation of Slavs dies, the amount of alcohol given to him will be reduced by half. If the next generation does not continue to cultivate, it will be reduced by half again. This is the wisdom that Cyprian learned from the reincarnation of the Han Dynasty.

The Han people had ready-made fields to grow, and if there were enough, they would not take the initiative to open up land, because farming was also a very energy-consuming task. The emergence of various farming tools did reduce the physical energy consumption of the people, but the scale of family farming was ultimately at the upper limit.

In this way, as long as the Slavs took the initiative to reclaim land, they would have a guarantee of life. As long as the Han people farmed, they would provide themselves and the Slavs with a guarantee of life. The two complement each other. As long as this simple framework continues to be maintained, Eastern Europe will gradually turn into farmland as the Slavs and the Han people advance.

Considering the size of Eastern Europe and the scale of human resources, Cyprian estimated that this positive cycle could last at least two hundred to three hundred years, and that it would not stop until the entire Eastern Europe was reclaimed and the crop was planted.

More importantly, this positive cycle only needs one thrust to continue, and the Yuan family does not need to spend energy to manage it. It only needs to be careful when reviewing, don’t be too ungrateful, just hold on to the idea of ​​taking both ends.

After taking this step, the Yuan family did not need to invest their energy in this regard. They just needed to gradually swallow the entire Eastern Europe and achieve a true empire by relying on the step-by-step encroachment of the Slavs and the Han people.

This is also why Cyprian had such a prosperous status after only four years of coming to the Yuan family. Even Xun Chen was considering letting the other party take over, and Yuan Tan was thinking about the reason why he arranged a marriage for the other party.

To put it bluntly, this person is really strong, so strong that the plan he makes does not need to be promoted by himself. He only needs to take the first step, and the huge interest groups that naturally form in the future will promote the plan to continue.

Now it has been ten years since Yuanfeng. The Slavs reclaimed land and the Han people's farming methods have formed an inertia. Several huge groups have formed west of the Ural Mountains.

These farming legions, with their families, had at least tens of thousands of people, and at most tens of thousands of people. The Slavs who reclaimed the land in front and the Han people who farmed behind had naturally formed their tribes in Eastern Europe.

Just as Cyprian said back then, running a huge team and eliminating internal conflicts is not enough to have hands. The lubricant formed by enough interests can naturally be used to develop suitable middle-level managers.

Education? There is no need at all. If there is the best, there are smart people among illiterate people. Monkeys can create a leader. A successful organization can either have ideals or interests, and just be just a little bit.

For Cyprian, most of the waste that cannot handle the organization's operations either fail to find the right lofty ideal to gather people's hearts, or fail to find the right points of interest.

As long as you have these two things, even if there are no appropriate organizational rules and no formed rules and regulations, sooner or later, someone will be able to create them for you. Even if the times have changed, the organizational rules and regulations of the past have become out of place. As long as your ideals are lofty enough, the benefits are great enough, and new blood can be attracted, that is not a problem.

In the current situation of the Yuan family, is it difficult to develop a lofty ideal? It is not difficult. Even in the 21st century, establishing a great country is a lofty ideal, especially if the Yuan family has this foundation and can be established, let alone the interests. The previous lofty ideal was the interests themselves.

Therefore, Cyprian's casual operation created a long and stable century-old strategy for the Yuan family. Moreover, this strategy is stable so that the Yuan family is left alone. As long as they do not take the initiative to die, a hundred years later, they will naturally have the ability to collide with Rome head-on. Maybe they can't win, but the Yuan family, which has a good location, will at least not lose.

Yuan Tan personally reviewed this strategy and started implementing it two years ago. After all, this is a plan that does not occupy any resources. As long as you are stuck there, you will have progress and make great profits.

In Xun Chen's words, let it go and observe it with Rome. When Rome realizes it, Rome can no longer control it.

Because of this idea, settlements with a large number of farmland have been spontaneously formed to the west of the Ural Mountains, and because of mutual promotion of cooperation, the relationship between the Han people and the Slavs has become much more harmonious.

The two sides who were once unable to communicate because of language barriers can now communicate, cooperate, work, and support each other, gradually eliminating the gap between the two sides.

Rome, as Cyprian teased, knew nothing about these things, but this did not prevent Rome from knowing that there was a large group of Han people who could farm to the west of the Ural Mountains.

It just so happens that what Rome needs now is the people who can farm. Compared with the average farming level, and there are not many Christians left after the fleeing in recent years, it is still the Han people who are more reliable in farming level.

The transportation is not much difficult, and you can rely on water transportation. The farming technology is reliable and you won’t cheat your father. More importantly, the locusts will basically not rush to the current position of the Yuan family’s farm in Eastern Europe. Is it necessary to consider how to choose?

Just as Gelius apologized to Chen Xi, we, Rome, are indeed anxious, but please forgive me, our current situation needs the Yuan family to help us farm.

There is nothing to say. Even Chen Xi has no way to face Rome's attitude. At this point, Rome's posture in front of Chen Xi was very low, but when this low posture was put on, Chen Xi was destined to be unable to deny it.

Watching Gelius leave, Chen Xi sat in his seat helplessly, then remained silent for a moment and handed the Roman letter to Yuan Yin. After all, it was the Yuan family's microphone in the Government Affairs Council, so it should be a look.

When Chen Xi handed the letter of the country directly to Yuan Yin, Yuan Yin felt a little panicked. How could he show such a thing? He is not worthy!

"It has something to do with the Yuan family, look at it, I'm mentally prepared." Chen Xi said with a calm expression without looking back.

Yuan Yin was a little at a loss and took the letter of the country and opened it. In an instant, his pupils shrank into needle eyes.

"How can this be done!" Yuan Yin lost control in the State Council for the first time, and he could not accept such enthronement at all. As a member of the Yuan family, Yuan Yin knew very well what Yuan Tan was facing.

"If there is no choice, if Rome really goes to the end, it will make everyone die together. At least we are not sure that Rome will self-destruct and lead everyone to die together." Chen Xi explained with his eyes unconsciously.

It’s not that there is no confidence, but that Chen Xi cannot bet. Even if only one-fifth of Rome is likely to cause heavy damage to human civilization while self-destruction, the Han Empire, which is now in an upward period, should not bet.

The rising sun rises, and when it reaches its peak, you will naturally defeat the opponent. Why do you have to fight with the opponent to death when it rises?

As long as the development is carried out step by step, the Han Dynasty will naturally reach its peak and will naturally defeat its current opponents, so it is not worth the effort now.

Yuan Yin only felt dizzy in his head, and held the table and looked at Chen Xi, "Horse Chen, can you accept this kind of humiliation?"

"You should ask Duke Zhong whether he can withstand it." Chen Xi looked at Yuan Yin and said.

Yuan Yin looked bitter when he heard this, but he didn't know.

From the standpoint of the other people in the Yuan family, they felt shame at most, but from the standpoint of Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan had already accepted the canonization of Liu Bei, the enemy who killed his father, as the loser. He continued to accumulate strength and bravely moved forward. It took ten years to finally make progress, and then he had to accept the canonization of his second mortal enemy!

What kind of hell is this?

Yuan Yin left first because he was not in good condition. Chen Xi picked up the enthronement document again and sighed softly. As long as the strength of large forces has not reached the level of crushing and is not ready to fight to the death, many things are actually political games.

"They were appointed Yuan Tan as the Duke of the border counties in northeastern Rome, ruled over the eastern European territory, and called Augustus." Chen Xi carefully read the content of the book of the country after the others left.

Not talking about the hellish black humor of Yuan Tan, just talking about this enthronement is not a humiliation. Other rewards are put aside. The duke of the border county, and the name Augustus, was actually treated as the deputy emperor. Rome did not humiliate Yuan Tan, and even deliberately promoted Yuan Tan's status.

Although this is all false, it is obvious that Rome made adjustments to the sake of the Han Dynasty, even if it was urgent to follow the power. In any case, this was also the duke of the border county, and it was a real local tyrant in Rome.

On the other hand, if you give such a status, you will naturally have corresponding obligations. If nothing unexpected happens, Rome will be aware of this wave of locust plague and will be somewhat aware of finding a way out, and the blank Eastern Europe is a real way out.

Even if it is relatively far away, Rome is difficult to rule, so it can only occupy the areas along the Don River. It is a way of thinking to rely on the canonization to make peace with Yuan Tan. Eating some food from the Yuan family is also a way of thinking.

After all, Rome's fist is indeed big, and as long as Yuan Tan accepts this canonization, those legal and rational things can be told to the Yuan family. It is true that the Yuan family will definitely benefit from it, but Rome has a stronger size and military strength, and will only make more profits.

To put it simply, it is just that a group of better farmers and a large piece of grain-producing land are beneficial or disadvantageous for Rome. As for the occasional local duke turmoil, is this a problem?

This is not.

Anyway, after accepting the enthronement, Rome went to Yuan’s family to make food, so it was not blackmail, but to collect taxes. On the other hand, the duke of the northeastern county went to Rome to fetch wool, and even barking in the Senate was normal.

"If Yuan Xiansi had not been let go by my mortal enemies, Duke Xuande, I would probably have negotiated with Rome to appoint Garnasis as a honorary Duke of the West to achieve the balance of the empire. But now, this letter of nationality might further stimulate Duke Zhong's development." Chen Xi said with a little estimation as he looked at the letter of nationality.

Yuan Tan's ability to withstand pressure is really too strong, and the more he bears, the stronger he becomes. Chen Xi did not specifically consider the strategy of imperial balance, and also considered Yuan Tan's ability to withstand pressure. Yuan Tan has not been hit by a big thunder for so long, and he feels that the overall power is a bit lazy and has developed. Although the official history shows that you are quite useless, this time you are developing really against the will of heaven. I, Chen Xi, are you, the princes who are most optimistic about me!

Many of Yuan Tan's power arrangements cannot be understood by others, but Chen Xi can still understand them. If it was possible to rush to the empire in the past, then it can be realized now. One civilization, two empires, will form a strong cultural wave and will naturally assimilate other civilizations.

Therefore, for Chen Xi, this time it was a test for the Yuan family. If Yuan Tan took it over, then some subsequent things could be explained to Yuan Tan, and the other party was really qualified to be the pillar of the Han civilization.

This is really a test, miserable
Chapter completed!
