Chapter 2102: Governing the World
"Why does it feel like the last sacrificial text?" Chen Xi looked at the sacrificial text that Li You brought over with a little puzzled understanding.
After the military parade, Liu Bei planned to bring hundreds of thousands of soldiers to sacrifice to the soldiers who had fought for the country for so many years.
"Because it has not been completed, the elderly have a support, the young have a teaching, the farmer has a land, and the living has a house. These things look simple, but in fact, it is not that easy to pursue them." Li You said casually, "And this slogan is very good."
"Besides, you already have some kind of malicious intentions towards human morality, so the superiors declare to everyone that it is more suitable for passing on as a law and as a system." Li You said silently, "But your original words, any practice of infinitely elevating moral qualities will only corrupt morality. After all, there are no saints in this world, and there are no perfect people. The law is the ultimate guarantee."
"Hey hey, let it be clear, I am not malicious about human morality. I just don't want to face the offline of human morality and self-discipline. Even if I can be restricted by law, I have to talk about morality. What is the meaning?" Chen Xi said with a sneer.
"So, you guys always have malicious intentions towards human morality." Li You casually flipped through the sacrificial text he wrote. This was a version after finding someone to polish it. After all, this wave is considered a high sacrifice and there are many things to pay attention to.
As for Sun Ce and others, they originally wanted to run away, but after knowing the situation, they did not leave directly. They were preparing to leave after Liu Bei sacrificed the dead. After so many years of battle, their subordinates also lost a lot of soldiers.
If Liu Bei didn't mention it, they might not have any special feelings, but after Liu Bei mentioned this, Sun Ce, Xiahou Dun and others also had the idea of raising incense for the deceased.
"This is why I can get along with you, because you have malice towards morality, but you are more radical, and I am not like this." Chen Xi picked up the sacrificial text and said slowly, "At least it was like this before."
Li You nodded. Chen Xi and him had the same idea of overthrowing the current system, and they both had such power in the past or now.
As for the difference, Li You was cheated on him. In addition, after confirming the system's mistakes, Li You chose to directly overturn the system instead of thinking about the results that would occur after the system collapsed. He believed that when the system collapsed, a new system would definitely be born, which would be better than this. Of course, if it was worse, let me smash the system again.
Chen Xi said that he was actually dissatisfied with the current system and the former system, but Chen Xi did not have the idea of violently dismantling the system, and his thinking pattern belongs to the orderly sequence.
In other words, if there is a problem with this system, then before there is no better system, do not destroy this system, and repair it first, so that the system will gradually develop towards the desired state, and rely on a long period of continuous improvement, and finally obtain the desired system.
Therefore, Li You sometimes thinks that Chen Xi is a bit conservative, abides by the rules, and maintains the rules. More importantly, both Li You and Chen Xi know that the latter way of thinking is absolutely impossible to get what he has begun to want.
This is because Chen Xi's own ability is extremely strong. If he is weak, let alone continuous improvement, until the required system, I'm afraid Chen Xi will die halfway through the way because he has too many benefits.
"So sacrifice to heaven is a very important thing. At least all the soldiers should understand the meaning of their sacrifice." Chen Xi said half-retted on the chair.
After three days of rest, on the west side of Yecheng, on the altar that had been built long ago, just like Liu Bei made his promise back then. The gap between doing some things and doing them well is too far. Liu Bei's current level is considered to be done, but it is very difficult to do them well.
Behind the altar, the square formation of 400,000 troops was as straight as an axe and a machete. Compared with the cumbersome etiquette of Liu Bei and others, there was only one requirement for these soldiers to take off their hats and watch silently for the comrades who had died in battle over the years.
All those present had experienced fighting, went to the battlefield, and saw bloody soldiers. Naturally, they all had comrades in their arms to sleep forever because of this.
Perhaps, in the late Han Dynasty, this kind of separation of life and death was too common. The soldiers who came from suffering saw many separations of life and death. During the reign of Emperor Ling, when natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, life was like grass, and the sacrificed soldiers, if they were at home, could be a roll of straw mat, burying them in a straw mat, and their families cried for a while, which was extremely insignificant to the world.
However, under Liu Bei's command, they suddenly found that their death had meaning. Hundreds of thousands of comrades would mourn them after their death, lord's rituals, and sacrifices in the four seasons.
Only in this environment can these soldiers who don’t know why they fight and die realize that their deaths can actually make sense and that they can also be heroes. This is very important.
Once you understand these, soldiers will understand the responsibilities and glory they shoulder when picking up the armor, live like a hero and die like a hero.
"Fortunately, Duke Xuande did not make any wishes this time." Chen Xi lay on the table panting, his expression and appearance must be very solemn when sacrificing the sky, so he cannot move around. After striking like this, he is really tired. If he doesn't feel it during the sacrifice, he will find that he is very tired after he comes down.
"Because the lord already knows that every word he said and every promise he responds to means responsibility. Now we have 26 million people under our command, and every promise represents the credibility of the government." Lu Su was also exhausted, but his voice was much stronger than Chen Xi.
"Anyway, it's great not to make a wish." Chen Xi buried his head in the wide sleeve of his silk robe, and his voice was a little unclear.
"I seemed to have seen the two cauldrons shine with the beginning of the sacrifice ceremony." Guo Jia collapsed in the ring chair, turned his head and spoke.
"I saw it too." Fazheng and others responded.
"It's a pity that it's not as big as the last time." Jia Xu shook his sleeves, took a sip of tea before speaking, "Zichuan, I think the Yizhou Mu has some ideas about you, don't you express it?"
"What does it mean to have ideas about me? It is obviously to have ideas about the logistics in my hands." Chen Xi lay in his wide sleeves and said without raising his head.
"Anyway, you have figured out how to deal with it." Li You said while drinking tea.
"Give him five thousand chain mails and plate armor, and you don't need to give him weapons." Chen Xi said indifferently, "Just find someone to solve this problem."
"Give it out?" Liu Ye asked unhappily.
"Of course, I am a Grand Secretary and in charge of the national finances. By the way, I also merged the Shaofu and also had some other things, so I am the general logistics." Chen Xi sat up silently and said, "Anyway, I am produced according to one million sets, so I am not afraid."
"I always feel that this will develop the habit of running to us to fight Qiufeng." Liu Ye said unhappily, completely ignoring, talking about blood relationship, and Liu Zhang was very close to him.
"When we are unified, everyone will come to fight Qiufeng." Chen Xi said half-resisting the chair, "After all, they are all their own people."
"By the way, some time ago, I checked the output of Luzhong Railway Plant, which is much higher than what you reported." Lu Su touched the official document beside him and took out one, "You said it was five or six thousand kilograms a day, and the report below is far more than this number."
"I said at that time that there was so much steel for producing weapons in Japan," Chen Xi glanced at the official document, then turned his head and said, "Most of the production of ordinary iron is used to produce agricultural tools and other things."
What the hell are weapons? When the Han Dynasty was farming, there were as many sickles as there were people, as well as kitchen knives, plows, rakes and other daily necessities.
The steel used for weapons is only a small part of the Shandong-China Railway Factory. It built seven million sickles last year, and so many will be built this year. In another five years, it is estimated that the Central Plains sickles will not be short of, but then the sickles will be replaced.
The iron required for seven million sickles can be replaced with 300,000 soldiers. Daily necessities are the biggest pitfall, but this is very good at making money, and it is a necessity in the agricultural society.
"You have made seven million sickles? There are also two million plows for people." Liu Ye, Lu Su and others held their foreheads and couldn't talk to Chen Xi anymore. You have wasted so much iron. Although the material is not as good as the steel of characteristics, it is also iron after all. It is also a good weapon after being warmed up.
Both of them thought that the Luzhong Railway Factory built by Chen Xi mainly produced weapons, but now you tell me that you are actually mainly producing agricultural tools, and weapons are side jobs!
"Yes, I also produced a lot of kitchen knives, scissors, screwdrivers, oh, and iron pots, these things are very easy to sell." Chen Xi didn't care about Liu Ye and Lu Su's vision of killing people, weapons, etc., and it was not profitable, side jobs, side jobs.
"Don't you know how much armor these things can produce for weapons? You're a total waste!" Liu Ye said crazy, and he suddenly realized that Chen Xi's brain circuit seemed to be very different from them.
"Even the iron you use to make kitchen knives is quite good. If you use these irons to make weapons, we can now arm two million people and unify the world easily." Lu Su said with a headache.
"It seems that we can't be the same now." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "Your thinking mode is to conquer the world. My thinking mode is to rule the world. You are not called becoming stronger, you are called being a military force!"
