Chapter 6625 Arrangement

Chapter 6625 Arrangement
Talent smelting is something that requires a considerable amount of time even for the big guys among the immortal veterans. Generally speaking, the fifth level of smelting takes about ten years.

Therefore, the veterans who can reach the fifth level of refinement have a clear life trajectory. It is precisely because of this trajectory that they are destined to have intersections with Liu Bei in the past ten years. After all, there are only a few veterans who have reached the fifth level of refinement. Liu Bei knows each of them and can even piece together each other's relationship network when he sees them.

In this situation, accidentally encountering an unknown fifth-level smelter is already an outrageous situation, but not recognizing all five of them is pure nonsense, not to mention that three of the five people are sixth-level smelters, which is even more incredible.

Assuming that the fifth level of smelting belongs to the big guys, then the sixth level of smelting is the top level. It is no longer a problem that Liu Bei can recognize. The people in the Executive Yuan and the senior officers should recognize them all as soon as they meet them, and call out their names one by one to determine their level of origin.

And this is not just the case with the Han Dynasty. It should be roughly the same for Rome and Kushan. The veterans who have been tempered by the six levels are not just soldiers, they are military backbones and the pillars of the country.

Chen Xi could recognize most of these people. After all, the Han Dynasty alone had less than 200 people, so they needed to be stored in separate archives. To put it bluntly, the Kushan Empire inexplicably lost three sixth-level smelters. The Kushan Empire was probably also wondering what the three brothers were doing.

Therefore, when Liu Bei said that he didn't know them either, Chen Xi and others were basically certain that this group of people should be from Kushan. They couldn't really be from the Yuan family. Even if Yuan Tan was defeated by the Romans, he wouldn't have suffered a brain injury and do such a thing.

After all, because of Yuan Shu, the Yuan family and the Sun family are firm allies.

"First, send a formal letter of accountability to Kushan and ask what Kushan really means." Fa Zheng turned his head and spoke to Zhuge Liang.

"We agreed on a ceasefire. We, the Han Dynasty, have always abided by the rules. What the Kushans have done? Have some shame." Fa Zheng looked furious, which Liu Bei found very interesting.

"First, consider what to do with Sun Bofu. If we tell him, there will definitely be problems with his performance. If we don't tell him, when Sun Bofu comes back, Jiangdong will definitely be in trouble." Chen Xi asked Jia Xu. In his opinion, it would be better to ask Jia Xu about this kind of thing.

"Of course I won't tell you about that." Jia Xu said as a matter of course, "If there's a problem in Jiangdong, it's the problem of the Jiangdong family. Zhou Gongjin's capsizing was 99% his own fault. Doesn't it mean that there is no problem with the protection of the Jiangdong family? So you can get what you want. It's no big deal. Just face the reality."

Chen Xi turned his head to look at Jia Xu. What you said does make sense, but why is there so much indifference in your words?

"It would be good to deal with the Jiangdong family." Li You said with a bit of coldness. He had long been fed up with the Jiangdong family, and he never tolerated things that he didn't like.

"I'm afraid it won't be a punishment, but a direct knock off of the head." Guo Jia said very tiredly, but he did not dissuade him from doing so. The Jiangdong family did need to be punished.

"Well, if you do this, will Zhou Yu really not be assassinated after he is resurrected?" Chen Xi had a helpless expression on his face. You are not leaving any way for Zhou Yu to survive.

"The main reason for this happening is that Zhou Yu was assassinated. The reason why the Jiangdong family got hammered is because the Jiangdong family was unlucky. Could it be that Zhou Yu was not involved?" Fa Zheng repeated what Jia Xu had said before. Chen Xi was completely speechless. Okay, you guys just play it this way.

"That's it. Let's first send an edict to the Kushan Empire in the name of the Han Empire. Vasudeva I seems to be in East Africa now, so we can send it to Rome as well." Chen Xi didn't care about being embarrassed at all. The Han Dynasty had been embarrassed many times anyway, and now it was almost becoming a funny character, so he didn't care much.

"Okay. How about we let Master Jia or Master Li go to the Donglai Shipyard to check on the status of the seventh-generation ship? Last time during the sea trial, we only sent people there but didn't go there in person. Should we bring people there this time?" Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Xi and suggested.

Although he was absolutely confident in the seventh-generation ships, Zhou Yu had failed now and it was time to really need the seventh-generation ships. With Zhuge Liang's cautious thinking, he felt that it was still necessary to conduct a detailed review so that he could replace Zhou Yu's business in the future.

"Speaking of which, Governor Zhou will not be able to appear in the short term. If the seventh-generation ship is confirmed to be deployed on the battlefield, to whom should it be delivered?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and asked. Without waiting for Chen Xi to speak, he gave an answer that he said was a question but was actually a suggestion, "Should it be delivered directly to Xingba?"

"It's okay to give it to Xingba." Guo Jia nodded and said, there was actually no choice, either Gan Ning or Taishi Ci, and giving it to Gan Ning would be more suitable.

"Then we need to mobilize Xingba to come back from Kunwu." Liu Bei said to Chen Xi.

If the seventh-generation ships were given to Zhou Yu, Liu Bei could accept it, but now that Zhou Yu has fallen, and Liu Bei was asked to give the seventh-generation ships to other people in Jiangdong, to be honest, Liu Bei said he could not accept it. The officers in Jiangdong were all small fry, and few of them could stand up to the standard. As long as Zhou Yu was there, he would still look up to him. Without Zhou Yu, the country would be in disarray. How could such a national treasure fall into the hands of Jiangdong?

"Then give it to Xingba." Chen Xi thought about it and it seemed that there was really no other candidate. The navy is based on merit and qualifications. Under the current circumstances, it seems that only Gan Ning is suitable.

"Then when sending a letter to Kushan to blame them, also send a letter to Xingba and ask Xingba to take over the seventh-generation ships." Liu Bei quickly made his own judgment.

"Let's just leave Montcomb alone for now. You all know the terrain of that place. The seventh-generation ships are indeed difficult to deal with." Chen Xi looked at Li You and said.

There is a natural channel between Ceylon and India that can be seen from the satellite. This channel is called Adam's Bridge or Rama's Bridge. It is essentially an underwater land composed of sandbars, but these lands are sometimes exposed above the water and sometimes underwater due to the ups and downs of the tides. But even underwater, they will not be less than one meter underwater.

This resulted in the seventh-generation ships being unable to enter this place because of the draft depth issue. It was impossible for the seventh-generation ships to sail in water one meter deep. This was also what Zhou Yu had said before. Meng Kangbu actually did not intend to fight a decisive battle with the Han army, but relied on the fortified Ceylon Island to disgust the Han Dynasty and delay time. This idea was correct based on Chen Xi's current analysis.

More importantly, this disgusting method is effective. The seventh-generation ships can bombard Ceylon indiscriminately. As long as there is enough time, it will definitely be able to destroy Ceylon. But if too much time is wasted on Ceylon, the overall strategies of the Han Dynasty and Kushan will definitely undergo a new round of changes.

Therefore, from a strategic point of view, it is not a good idea to allow Meng Kangbu to drag out time.

"Why is there such a strange terrain?" Fa Zheng frowned. He also felt that the terrain of Ceylon Island and its surrounding areas was outrageous.

"The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. It's normal. Just walk more and see more." Li You said calmly. He was not shocked at all by this outrageous terrain. After all, he had read a lot of strange things written by Wan Zhen.

To be honest, Wan Zhen's "Around the World" is very well written, with detailed content and interesting descriptions. It is full of all kinds of strange creatures, and even comes with pictures and explanations, as well as cooking methods. It sells quite well in Central China.

Not to mention people in the third century AD, even people in the twenty-first century AD generally cannot travel to so many places in their lifetime, so many people like to read this kind of record-like books. Of course, thanks to Chen Xi's efforts to popularize education, at least now the younger generation can still read to the older generation, which has solved many problems.

Li You really likes reading this book. On the one hand, Wan Zhen has now become a powerful figure in the Liangzhou faction. On the other hand, this book really increases knowledge and allows people to see a lot of outrageous things. Even if Wan Zhen does not use his spiritual talent of knowing everything, he has actually known everything. In short, traveling thousands of miles is really useful.

The only drawback is that there are too few travel groups in the world that can take individuals on global tours, so Wan Zhen has to endure the unreliable evil god teammates and continue the life of his Xiliang Brigade. There is no other way. It's not that Wan Zhen has never thought about running away, but the earth is really too dangerous. The first time Wan Zhen took people to run away, he encountered a world-breaking beast in Africa.

When there was the Iron Cavalry Brigade, let alone the world-breaking beasts, even if it was the world-breaking ancient gods, Wan Zhen dared to chat and laugh with them, and the other party would have to endure it.

What, you said the Ancient God of Breaking Worlds has no intelligence?
What are miracles for? Come, let me show you what it means to do whatever you want - I looked directly at the evil god, and the evil god looked directly at me, and then the evil god was infected, and gained the intelligence to communicate, and then we could communicate.

After that, Wan Zhen stopped struggling. His dream of traveling thousands of miles in his youth was finally realized in his middle age. What was there to struggle for? It was good enough to have a brigade to lead him. Why did he need a bicycle? After all, in the wilderness these days, it was not good to be wild. Without the protection of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, even if Wan Zhen had spiritual talent and triple smelting, he would capsize sooner or later.

"That's right. So who between you and Wen He will go to Donglai this time?" Chen Xi turned his head and looked at Li You and Jia Xu and asked. Although Sun Qian was definitely the most suitable person to go to Donglai, Sun Qian was still building an overpass in the southwest and had no time to go there, so only Li You or Jia Xu could go.

"I'll go." Li You thought for a moment, then nodded to Jia Xu, "It's just right to see what the so-called invincible seventh-generation warship is like."

"Then let Wenru go." Liu Bei also knew that going to see the seventh-generation ship now was to confirm its status. After all, the trial run had already begun and the technical level had basically been solved. What remained was to continuously collect opinions and optimize it during each voyage. Li You used to be more of a decision-maker.

"It's been ten years since Yuanfeng. Zichuan, do you need to go to the north and the Central Plains to check out the situation?" After Liu Bei made the decision on the seventh-generation ship, he turned his head and looked at Chen Xi and asked.

"That's not necessary. The situation in the North and Central Plains is still okay. We've only warned them twice before, so there won't be any major problems. On the contrary, the Northwest and Southwest should have been inspected in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, but it has been delayed until now. I'm afraid the situation is not very good." Chen Xi sighed. He was too confident in the bureaucracy's ability to stir up trouble, so he knew very well what had happened to the Northwest and Southwest, where no one had gone, despite the fact that they had only been given verbal warnings in the past few years.

"It's not too chaotic. At least it won't cause the kind of trouble that happened with agricultural products in Yanzhou." Liu Bei said calmly. He had been to Yizhou, Liangzhou, and even Xinzhou in the past two years. The veterans from these places would tell Liu Bei whatever they wanted to know when they saw him, so Liu Bei knew the situation in these places to some extent. There were problems, but it wouldn't cause any major chaos.

"After this year is over, I will personally go to Yizhou, Liangzhou and Xinzhou." Chen Xi said calmly. He was confident about Liangzhou because the people in Liangzhou were tough and the corruption and bribery were not developed at all due to violent extortion. After all, only the big fists were right there. Corruption? I would extort directly. It didn't matter if I got money or not. I would extort first.

On the contrary, Chen Xi was somewhat worried about Yizhou and Xinzhou. Yizhou had become really rich in recent years. Although the Northwest Passage had not been completely opened, after reaching Chengdu, it continued to go south. From a national perspective, the closed Sichuan and Shu were successfully connected again with other parts of the Han Dynasty.

As a result, many unique materials of Sichuan and Shu were rapidly expanded, and various materials that were previously unable to enter were also able to enter. The speed of Shu's development was too alarming, and under Chen Deng's governance, it was also thriving. This rapid development concealed a lot of problems, and although Chen Deng's ability was not weak, his mind might not be on governance, which naturally left a lot of problems.

It’s just that the rapid development has covered up a lot of problems and we can’t see them now, so in order to avoid sudden disasters later, we have to go and see it in person.

As for Xinzhou, it goes without saying that it is currently the largest state of the Han Dynasty. It has a mixed population of Hu and Han people. The returnees from the thirty-six countries and the people who migrated there have not yet been completely unified. Sima Lang has good governing ability, but there are big problems in his handling of certain issues.

Chen Xi did not want to think about whether Sima Lang's treatment was for the future or for his own family. It did not matter. However, Xinzhou had been incorporated into the country for so many years, and Chen Xi was indeed not going to delay on this matter any longer and wanted to completely incorporate Xinzhou into the national management system as soon as possible.

After all, once the Kushan Empire fell, this major passage in the northwest would be the most important lifeline. From Xinzhou to the Pamirs, and then to Central Asia, it would become the trial direction for the next stage of the Han Dynasty. In this case, Sima Lang naturally could not be allowed to continue to paint on it at will.

This is also the reason why even if Sima Lang died safely, Chen Xi would replace him with Wang Xiu. After all, the upcoming Northwest Channel would need to undertake very important military tasks, and it would be impossible to leave it alone as before.

Therefore, after bringing Wang Xiu to Xinzhou to take over this year, Chen Xi will personally lead a team to Xinzhou next year or the year after to sweep Xinzhou again, trying to cover as much of this place where Hu and Han people live together as possible with industry, both to prepare for subsequent trials and to stabilize the area.

For most of the lower-class people, nationalism can easily incite them, and having enough food to eat and a stable job and a good home can also allow them to quickly eliminate the conflicts caused by ethnicity.

Chen Xi didn't want to think about those messy things. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the people of the Thirty-Six Countries had not yet been eroded by the Central Asian race like in later generations, and still maintained the characteristics of the East Asian race. He could quickly assimilate them through industry and completely incorporate them into the Han Dynasty. This would establish the fact that he had controlled this place since ancient times. Even if there were recurrences in the future, he would be able to easily hold on to it once the Central Plains was stable.

"Xinzhou." Liu Bei glanced at Chen Xi. "Zichuan, do you know what Sima Boda did in Xinzhou?"

"I saved them the first two times. Even though they crossed the red line, they were still worth saving. But forget it this time. I can't save them." Chen Xi said with a sigh.

Chen Xi usually has the attitude of saving those around him if he can. After all, even if they have fallen into the hands of a big shot, with Chen Xi's status, he can set up a banquet and make them drink three glasses of wine as a punishment. With the big shot's tolerance, he can basically let it go. After all, when it comes to this level, it is usually just an infringement on interests. The problem is that it has reached this scale, what does this little bit of interest count for?
If worst comes to worst, there is still Chen Xi. Being able to appear in this occasion, Chen Xi can really make them suffer. With a nod, both sides will have a way out. Chen Xi will even make it up to you. There is no life-and-death feud, so why make things so embarrassing for everyone?
On the contrary, if the crime was committed by ordinary people, Chen Xi would let them solve it, because for big people it was just an infringement of interests, but for small people it could be the difference between life and death. Perhaps the other party's solution was not as good as Chen Xi thought, and might even be a little cruel.

But as long as the crime is not committed in front of Chen Xi, Chen Xi will not explain anything in particular, because there will always be a time to pay it back. Unlike the interests of big shots, which are just painful, the interests of ordinary people may really be a matter of life and death.

It is never an exaggeration that when a common man is angry, blood will splatter five steps away. When things have reached the point where there is no choice, the life of the emperor is neither noble nor sacred.

Therefore, Chen Xi didn't care if Sima Lang competed with the aristocratic families for profit, he would help them when necessary. But when Sima Lang fought with the people for their lives and got his head chopped off and kicked around like a ball, Chen Xi could only sigh and lament about the cousin he knew back then. As for the others, Sima Lang's life was life, and wasn't Wanmin's life also life?
