"This is true." Liu Bei pondered for a while and nodded slowly. As an intelligence system, he went deep into the public and had a good understanding of various types of intelligence, he had to admit that what Li You said was true.

Is it a matter for the people of this county to offer a member of the Kuaiji Wang family who can come to the county to repair Lei Jitai? It would be best if the county magistrate is willing to sacrifice, but if he is unwilling to sacrifice, there are tens of thousands of righteous men in this county, which can make the county magistrate decent.

Is this a problem with the official position of 600 stone? This is not!

"And there are some things that are easier to communicate between bureaucrats and bureaucrats. Taking Jiaozhou as an example, why did the bureaucrats in Jiaozhou counties not go to the local coconut processing factory? You should know that the local clans there are very powerful, because the director of the coconut processing factory also has a rank." Chen Xi said with a little sigh.

No matter how ignorant local clans are, they cannot do bureaucrats. Since ancient times, clans can be rampant in the villages, they need bureaucrats as their backers. Even if they are aristocratic families, the core point of their influence is the bureaucratic system. Without this thing, the right to interpret the scriptures and laws and universal morals will be destroyed in no time.

So at that time, the clans in Jiaozhou watched the coconut processing factory make money every day, just like they opened a printing machine, making money wildly, and they forced themselves to do nothing, because the other side was also an official.

"It is difficult to promote many things by individuals. In addition, sometimes the process traps of the bureaucratic system will really kill people. Therefore, large factories and mines must have ranks. Otherwise, if you encounter a bureaucrat who cheats, you will be buried if you are not careful." Chen Xi said helplessly. It is not that all bureaucrats are like this, but in the process of development, encountering one is enough to drag them to death.

Liu Bei thought about it after thinking about the fact that when he was the county magistrate of Anxi, he almost got angry when he met the supervisor.

"As long as things like bureaucrats are not in charge of each other, they will give some face when talking about things, and at least they can follow a normal process, rather than a pitfall at a time. Nowadays, many technocrats in the Han Dynasty are basically added for efficiency." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, this is also the reason why Chen Xi continued to split the Shaofu and road traffic. There were too many technocrats involved in these two.

"That's it, but I feel that the number of bureaucrats is indeed a bit too high." Liu Bei could understand after hearing Chen Xi's explanation, but according to his experience, there were indeed a bit too many officials.

"About this, when Xuande Gong was on his behalf, he could carefully investigate and determine. If you really want to say this situation, it can only be said that the times have different times." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "Just like the 103 counties in the Han Dynasty who really had county lieutenants. Now, at least more than 60 counties have clearly arranged county lieutenants."

Liu Bei refused to comment when he heard this, nodded, saying that he would go to verify it later, and continue to promote it now. After all, no problems have occurred in the past few years, and the Han Dynasty is also booming as a whole. According to Liu Bei's experience, just don't move if you can, and continue.

In short, Liu Bei is somewhat conservative. Even if there is enough evidence to prove that this policy will have problems in the future, Liu Bei will take the initiative to operate. As for this subconscious suspicion that there are problems with the policy, let’s not stop it. As long as the people live and work in peace and the country is booming, it is out of common sense, and it is effective.

To a certain extent, Liu Bei is a standard pragmatism. He does think that the increase in the ratio of officials and people is not good, and there are enough reasons to support this concept. However, after Chen Xi improved the ratio of officials and people, he further improved the living standards of the people, so Liu Bei would never criticize this thing for being bad.

Liu Bei would only think that he knew nothing!

"The main reason is to issue a rank of 100 stone, which will really make some people work hard with their hearts and souls." Chen Xi looked up at Fang Liang and said with a bit of complexity. "They really recognize this. Even if the technicians don't have many opportunities to show off. When they don't engage in technology and production for a year, it will only take a few days, but with such a layer of skin, it is really effective."

Nonsense, of course I'll do it. This is a good official. Even if it's a hundred stones, it's the lowest level. The county magistrate usually only has two hundred stones. Although one hundred stones is low, the pavilion chief sometimes does not have this level. After all, the pavilion chief is similar to the police station director now and serves as the post office. There are few who have more than one hundred stones.

If a county itself has a small population, then it may be possible that the entire county will have only three county magistrates, county magistrates, and county magistrates over 100 stones. To be precise, it should be three hundred to five hundred stones in the county magistrates, and two hundred to four hundred stones in the county magistrates. Generally, there is such a configuration.

In the Han Dynasty, the population of most counties could not reach 10,000 households, so the county magistrates were mostly less than 500 stones, and the unlucky point was directly 300 stones. In this case, the county magistrates and county magistrates only had 200 stones. In this case, the pavilion chiefs, wives, You Jiao and other officials who were officially county-level at the county level would not exceed 100 stones. In other words, a position of 100 stones is enough to be in the top five in ordinary counties.

So most of the time, a 100-stone official position is enough for those senior technical talents to rack their brains to study technology. After all, most of the people who take the technical route these days do not expect to transform themselves into bureaucrats. The opportunity to have fun in the county and townships and behave like a person is enough for many people.

This is also the reason why the number of Han bureaucrats has increased from 7,567 to nearly 20,000 in recent years. The administrative bureaucrats in counties have basically not changed much. In the past, there are still many, and there may be more officials, but overall, there have been no obvious changes in administrative positions in counties and counties. What is really increased are positions for technical personnel.

In Chen Xi's words, it would be too profitable to get such a small salary expense if this group of people racked their brains to do research!

Therefore, Chen Xi has issued such official positions many times over the years, and ranks below 600 sq. do not require reporting. Anyway, the salary is also paid by Chen Xi, so it has increased so much in ten years...

"Anyway, you pay the salary. If you have more officials, you need to calculate the salary." Liu Bei did not mean to be entangled in this. He was a bureaucrat with less than 600 stones, and technicians with more than 600 stones. He had seen each of them and agreed that these people really had to give such a rank. To put it too much, take the Beidi Ranch as an example, which manages 1.7 million large animals. If Jiang Qi, as the supervisor of the Ranch, did not give 2,000 stones, Liu Bei was afraid of something.

That's 1.7 million large animals. I gave Jiang Qi a thousand stone rank. Liu Bei was afraid that the county magistrate of Beidi would fight Qiufeng. He didn't say it would be too dark. He would take you 10%. It would be fine if he had passed by. I was two thousand stone rank high-ranking officials passed by you. Your ranch is also on my land in Beidi. It's okay to count my political achievements. If it's not good, it's okay to pay taxes to our Beidi!

Therefore, Liu Bei had conducted on-site inspections of Qianshi technocrats in every eastern prefecture and county, and basically agreed with Chen Xi's arrangements. Although he did not realize that this group of people were so-called technocrats, not administrative bureaucrats, considering that these professionals did run state-owned factories and mine workshops very well, and their scale and output were excellent, Liu Bei also felt that it was reasonable to give this rank.

But unexpectedly, nearly 10,000 technicians were awarded official positions.

"This doesn't need to be counted. I give a rank of 100 s, and the other party has created at least 100 s, and can give a 300 s. The other party has basically improved certain technologies and can produce profits continuously for a long time in the future. Even the kind of person who can give a 600 s, is the one who can give a percentage point in the overall output." Chen Xi said with some praise, relying on the enthusiasm of the technicians!

Although Chen Xi is amazing, Chen Xi has no time to get involved in these details, so these links are mainly due to these technical talents. The Han Dynasty is currently booming, but it all depends on the hard work of these technical talents. Without these talents, the total output value of the Han Dynasty has dropped by at least several points. Just the current Han Dynasty, the total output of the several points, do you talk about salary?

"I think it's Zichuan, it's still a matter of blackness." Guo Jia sighed. This is a person who has produced a few points in the overall output!

"So I agree with their contributions very much." Chen Xi did not refute, "and they are very satisfied with this plan of having no fronts and no thresholds, and directly joining an official position. There are also seals for the copper seal and yellow ribbon, and everyone is quite satisfied."

"It's okay, anyway, you think it's appropriate, and it's really beneficial to the country." Liu Bei didn't want to bother about this matter, because in terms of government affairs, Liu Bei had long determined that everyone present was not as good as Chen Xi. Letting Chen Xi do it will be beneficial to everyone.

"Basically, these things need to be discussed at the Grand Court. Although the other things are important, they are generally directional or directive. Only these two things are prone to resistance." Chen Xi smiled when he heard this. He was also seeking stability as much as possible. To this point, for Chen Xi, radical plans are completely undesirable. Stability is the basic requirement of Chen Xi at this stage.

"Speaking of this, I didn't see the highway and Ji Yu today." Liu Bei looked around and saw this. He had discovered this before. It was a bit strange. After all, this was a hundred-day banquet for Fa Zheng's son. With the situation of Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, as long as they are in Chang'an, they will basically come, but they didn't see it. Isn't in Chang'an?

"The housekeepers of the two families said they were going to investigate the Southwest to conduct a new round of research." Fa Zheng explained casually, "They have made a big business recently, and the liquor is really OK."

Lijiu has many shortcomings in this era of rampant rice wine, but the cost-effectiveness of Lijiu has gone to the fast lane since Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang created the first jar of lijiu. In addition to the Zhen family's sales network channels and connections, after the lijiu was released, it quickly increased. If it weren't for the guidance of Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, even with Chen Xi, they would have miscalculated the demand. Now lijiu should account for one-third of the market of Dahan Liquor Industry.

In addition to lijiu and rice wine, lijiu is basically two tracks. After Lijiu comes on stage, it directly opens up a new track by itself. Now it is said that it occupies one-third of the market of Dahan Lijiu, which is equivalent to just half the width of Lijiu outside the original liquor industry track. The question is, is this the limit of lijiu?

This is not, this is the limit of Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang!

If liquor continues to develop, it will not be a problem that accounts for one-third of the market, it is a question of how many people in the Han Dynasty will increase per capita!

Is this a rival that rice wine and liquor can fight? Even Chen Xi, no matter how large it is, it is impossible to make the price of rice wine and liquor lower than that of liquor. Even the so-called craftsmanship, compared with rice wine, it basically cannot reach the so-called entry-level price. This is the gap!

So Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, who underestimated how awesome this card were in their hands, are now transplanting and planting hops in northern Sichuan, plus protection work.

To put it simply, after the Central Asian family came back, they were very upset when they saw Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang picking up money with sacks. They felt that they wanted to do this industry, but there was no threshold anyway, so they just wanted to fight. If they were engaged in other industries, they might lose. This was a blue ocean, and they just invested money to fight!

Ordinary families cannot afford to engage in such an industry that requires large-scale investment at the beginning, and there is no channel. In addition, ordinary families cannot afford to offend Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang, but do the aristocratic families in Central Asia lack money? Are they lack channels? Are they afraid of offending Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang?

When these people came back and found this, they called their friends and then took the way between Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang and started to make it. Various brands of liquor were quickly launched. However, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang had the advantage of hegemony in Chang'an, so they had an absolute advantage, but in various places...

Do you still need to learn something like local protectionism? You can learn it directly without a teacher!

The area in Bingzhou with Taiyuan as its core can only sell the old Wang family liquor, which is inherited from the ancient wines of the Shang Dynasty. The specialty of the old Wang family is to steal Yuan Shu, and the personnel also dug from Liu Zhang. The sales channel? The locals of the old Wang family, the reputation and reputation are trusted by the locals!

The taste and flavor are the masters I found from somewhere. The mix was quite good, which was different from Yuan Shu's first generation liquor, but each had its own winning games. Then, the price was exactly the same as Yuan Shu's liquor in Bingzhou.

Needless to say, Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang were driven out by the Wang family after only half a year of money in Bingzhou, and the Zhen family’s sales channels in Bingzhou were also borrowed by the Wang family. The locals strongly support the local industry. The Wang family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is trustworthy!

I'll see the wrong version one by one!

Yuan Shu thought it was outrageous for the master Wang family to take out the liquor on the spot. Although his skills were stolen and key personnel were dug up, liquor could not be made just by wanting it. In fact, no one has much technical reserves for this thing, so your old Wang family would be able to get it.

As a result, before Yuan Shu could ask, Yuan Sui quickly notified Yuan Shu to protect his wine technology. Among the outstanding university students snatched by the Wang family, there were professional wine brewing personnel, and there was a whole team!

Although Yuan Shu was not very understanding that college students were studying winemaking, those who could enter this school were all very outstanding students. It was not outrageous that they could get the first-match style of their own head-on taste. Yuan Shu turned around and asked Yuan Sui, "What about the brewing staff we recruited from the university, please lend me first!"

Then Yuan Shu learned that as a wealthy family, his fighter jet among the aristocratic family, was stolen by the old Wang family and the Yang family.

Next, before Yuan Shu brought all his men to conquer the Wang family's nest and rescue the hostages, he heard that Ercui and Yang took a group of people to conquer their base in northern Yizhou, preparing to use the hop plantation they built as a magical craft of nature and transplant it to their own base.

This rumor sounds outrageous, but in fact, this group of people really did this, Yuan Shu didn't seem to have any good solutions, so Yuan Shu took Liu Zhang to northern Sichuan quickly. After he went there, he found that his base was fine. But Ercui and Yang's bastards had already started to mobilize locals to dig wild hops all over the mountains and fields, and then found professionals to transplant them onto the land they had opened.

In short, the plan of Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang to make a lot of money has collapsed by 70%. Large aristocratic families are now entering the market. They are too good at playing with this kind of capital- and labor-intensive industry. Moreover, it doesn’t matter whether they make money or not. Being able to make happiness is victory. What’s more, the large aristocratic families after a wave of locust plagues have heard that this thing can withstand hunger even if they drink enough. Don’t you reserve some?

So much so that Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang don’t even have time to come for the 100-day banquet of Fa Zheng’s son.

"You are all outdated news. There are more than a dozen new liquors available now, and they are sold well everywhere. The aristocratic families in various places are very grateful to Mr. Yuan and Mr. Liu for opening up the market for them, and then kicked them out without hesitation." Chen Xi talked about the background roughly and explained what happened. Everyone looked at each other.

"Is the market for liquor so big?" Li You asked with a hint of surprise.

"Entertainment is easy, there is no problem with hundreds of millions of liters." Chen Xi said with a plain face, "The market prospects are very huge. Unlike the current rice wine and white wine, the advantages of liquor are very obvious. The positioning is completely different from the previous two, so an explosion of consumption is inevitable."

"This is very strange. Shouldn't you interfere in this kind of industry?" Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi and asked, "If you don't like ordinary industries, you won't like this."

"Because I didn't realize that we had raw materials at first, Yuan Gaolu and the others found the raw materials and made them out. I thought for a while and thought they would take the lead. As a result, who knew that the major families were so active." Chen Xi said calmly, "But what we did was indeed a bit too much. Local protectionism was really nonsense, and it was too justified."

Increase the income of local people! Our Wang family/Yang family/Zhang family/Cui family and other families do this not to make money, but to our local people!

Chen Xi really believed this time. This family really attracted people and went to the right balance of income and expenditure. If the liquor was sold, the money that could be earned would be invested in the construction of the winery and continued to absorb local people into the winery. He would even rather pay a little money than drive Yuan out.

Therefore, Chen Xi chose to turn a blind eye to such an outrageous local protectionism. There is no way, the people are really profitable, and Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang are not unable to make money, they just make less money. There are also crazy people like Wang, Yang, and Cui in every place, and there are also those who are willing to cooperate with the Yuan family for win-win results. This is a healthy competition. Anyway, the people are profitable, so happy!

"No wonder I went around the gambling house in Chang'an for two times before but I didn't see those two guys. I was not in Chang'an together." Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he heard about the many things that happened around Liquor recently. He was a change of evil and returned to the right place.

"The gambling house in Chang'an is actually quite regular. I have been there in person." Man Chong said quietly. Since he dared to sign, he naturally had conducted an open and secret investigation, and he was still responsible.

"I've gone too, but is this kind of blatant one considered gambling?" Liu Bei asked with some confusion, "And I think some veterans are quite addicted."

"How to say it, some veterans are addicted to this kind of thing, but they are addicted to skills, not the gains and losses of gambling. Those who really care about the gains and losses of gambling basically don't enter this place because they can't win, and those who go to gambling can always see some amazing ways of doing things." Chen Xi said with a little distracted heart and tiredness. He has also gone to see it. How about it? It's too amazing. Is it reasonable to shake the six-sided dice to get blackjack?

"A game of throwing pots, twenty people threw a real will arrow into it for victory, but it still maintained its gold and iron color after leaving the body. It was the kind that had not changed. With this arrow, it crushed all the arrows thrown in front, and then blocked the mouth of the pot, but it didn't win." Guo Jia saw Chen Xi's expression and remembered the scene of disguising himself in the gambling scene.

"How can I lose this? This is the normal will break the limit, and the bottle has been strengthened." Hua Xiong looked like he saw a ghost. Guo Jia was just a military advisor. He didn't understand this very much, but he just thought it was outrageous. Hua Xiong understood this, and just wanted to ask how to lose this?

"Because someone saw that he couldn't win, the arrow in his hand did not throw it at the bottle, but at Tian Wen himself, blowing Tian Wen away, and the bottle was blown up by the aftermath." Fa Zheng said with a depressed look on his face. It's really a dog. He saw with his own eyes that the bottle was covered by the will talent, and it formed a brilliant coverage. As a result, Tian Wen capsized the boat and the bottle was blown up by the aftermath, and the dealer licked the bag with tears.

It was also the time when Fa Zheng thought that Yuan Shu would definitely make money in this place, because some bad funers don’t want to win at all, just go to make trouble.

"Actually, the most overwhelming thing is cockfighting. I can't understand how far the cockfighting ends. The chicken heads were fired as weapons..." Liu Yan said with a dry smile. He had also experienced it, but how do you say this experience? After going there once, Liu Yan only went to be an audience and was not worthy of being on stage!
