Chapter 361: Unreasonable
After seeing Lu Bu off, Guo Hao walked into the Government Affairs Hall with a lot on his mind. One thing after another had to happen, and it was really difficult for the Han Empire to cope with it.
None of Goryeo, Japan, and the Northern Huns can be easily conquered, but now the arrow is on the string and must be shot.
"Zichuan, how is the supply mobilization in the northern border going? Marquis Wen is here to urge us to do it." Guo Hao calmly found an excuse to put off Xun Yu and others.
"Food and grass are already being allocated. Chen Gongtai is doing a good job. Bingzhou shouldn't have any problems this winter." Chen Xi recalled and thought of the transfer order he had issued before.
"After Zijing, Fengxiao and others come back, start implementing your development plan. After all, there is still six months of development time." Guo Hao shook his head with a wry smile.
"I'm afraid we don't have that much time!" Li Ru shook his head. "The Xianbei King is a tyrant. He might start a rebellion in late autumn."
"Do you mean Youzhou?" Jia Xu guessed what Li Ru meant.
Compared with Bingzhou, Youzhou, which had just experienced a war, seemed easier to deal with.
"Reinforcements have been sent before, so Youzhou shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Chen Xi frowned. Development must be coordinated and overall planned. If that place is left behind, it will become a historical issue.
"Wenhe means that he is worried about Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan!" Li Ru shook his head and continued speaking in line with Jia Xu's guess.
"The biggest conflict between General Gongsun and Governor Liu is how to treat the Hu people. If the Hu people go south, there might be chaos between the two sides."
"But we have to be on guard..." Chen Xi had a headache.
The contradiction between the Iron-Blooded Faction and the Educational Faction is at an all-time high and remains the most mainstream conflict in the Central Plains. The most crucial thing is that this is a dispute over ideas, and both parties start from the perspective of the country, which is why it has been difficult to determine who is superior.
If the fighting gave the Hu people some opportunities to take advantage, it would be a loss .
"Well, you, Wenhe, should go to Youzhou in person. There is Goryeo in front and the Hu people behind. If Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan come into conflict, it will not end well. How about you, Wenhe, take charge of the coordination?" Guo Hao said after thinking for a while.
"Good!" Jia Xu instantly understood what Guo Hao meant. After all, he still had to consider the impact, so "exiling" him to Youzhou was indeed a good idea.
After he dealt with the Northern Huns, he was completely cleared of all charges. After all, compared with fighting the Northern Huns, the death of a few princes was no big deal.
It was just right that he could hide from Dong Zhuo for a while. In case Dong Zhuo wanted to take it out on him, he would have some room for buffer. After all, it was he who arranged Guo Hao's marriage. If Dong Zhuo couldn't afford to offend the princess and the general, he would take it out on him.
"Then I'll let you, Wenyou, take over my work?" Jia Xu turned to look at Li Ru. "Wenyou, have you made any progress in your household registration system?"
"The biggest progress is that there is no progress. The household registration system can no longer be implemented. When I finish Luoyang, I will need manpower to help!" Li Ru said with a sneer.
"How many people are hidden by the family?"
Jia Xu understood what Li Ru meant. The reason why Luoyang could proceed in an orderly manner was because they joined forces with Cao Cao and Sun Jian to kill all the uncooperative families. The rest were naturally not any obstacles. But from what Li Ru meant, these good kids were not easy to deal with.
"The Zhou family alone has hidden nearly 20,000 people. If Zhou Yi hadn't reported the data to me himself, I wouldn't have believed that this was Luoyang." Li Ru said with a sneer.
"Is the problem so serious?" Chen Xi did not expect this. Logically speaking, land annexation would only be so serious during the Song Dynasty. How could it have become so serious during this period of time?
You have to know that the hidden population is equivalent to non-existence, they don't have to pay any taxes, and they don't have household registration. They are simply members of aristocratic families. It is unknown how much taxes are hidden among them.
"When the time comes, write a letter to the noble families in various places, and they will naturally understand. Things are different now than they were in the past!" Xun Yu said in a smooth talk. He knew with his little brain that the Xun family was also a tough one. Now it is different from the past, and perhaps it would be better to use a gentler approach.
"We do need to talk. Now that the world has just stabilized, we should not use overly drastic measures." Chen Xi said after thinking about it.
“When the time comes, we’ll organize some people to check it out. By then, those stubborn families will no longer have a need to exist.” Li Ru said with murderous intent.
"If it's difficult , just wait a little longer. After all, some things can't be solved with a one-size-fits-all approach. Times are different now, and it's best to resolve them in an amicable manner." Jia Xu nodded in agreement.
“Bang!”
Just as several people were discussing the future disposal of the aristocratic family, a sudden loud noise spread throughout Luoyang.
"Another one!" Chen Xi sighed helplessly.
"I hope it wasn't the biggest ones that exploded!" Chen Xi muttered. There were less than twenty blast furnaces near Luoyang. As long as it wasn't the biggest ones that exploded, it would be acceptable.
After all, it was incredible , so what else can be said.
Chen Xi was sometimes curious about what Zhao Yun was made of. When the blast furnace was built, it was all thanks to Zhao Yun who performed miracles.
The design drawings provided by the players and the design drawings provided in the encyclopedia in his mind are completely useless in this world and it doesn't make any sense at all.
The parameter of the essence of heaven and earth directly destroys all modern facilities. Apart from being used as a concept to guide the design, it is completely useless.
This is also the reason why the real mechanical assembly line has not been copied here. The real equipment cannot be brought in for testing at all, and they can't research anything from the players. They can only conduct independent research according to the idea of etching, and have achieved some results in mecha.
At the beginning, Chen Xi led a group of common people to do something big at Hulao Pass. Basically, they were all on one side. Occasionally, if he was lucky enough, he could be on both sides.
But Zhao Yun was unreasonable. He fiddled with the design drawings here and there. Each one of them looked square and very regular, but they were all five or six cubic blast furnaces, which instantly killed the large number of blast furnaces that Chen Xi had worked hard to build.
The most crucial thing is that almost all of Chen Xi's blast furnaces have exploded, while only two or three of Zhao Yun's blast furnaces have exploded so far.
Every time one was bombed, many old officials of the Han Dynasty would come to Chen Xi crying, which put Chen Xi under a lot of pressure. A group of old men dared not do anything and just stared at you. Are you afraid?
You have to know that the bigger the blast furnace, the better. The bigger it is, the more efficient it is, and the more it can produce, the better.
It perfectly illustrates what it means that bigger is better and bigger is justice.
"Why don't we catch Zilong and build a few more? Why not try a bigger one this time?" Chen Xi thought silently. This rubbish game in reality is unreasonable. The craftsmen still can't figure out Zhao Yun's level of craftsmanship.
