Chapter 6874: Choosing a Way to Die

Wu Anjun said nothing, but just looked at Chen Xi quietly, watching Chen Xi go from being full of vigor and vitality to slumping back in the seat, turning into a salted fish.

"This can at least really solve the problem. Compared to Marquis Huaiyin's plan, if you use the Law Soldiers, you will create the strongest Law Soldiers of all time." Bai Qi looked at Chen Xi who collapsed, knowing that the other party did not accept his proposal, but still made a suggestion.

"Yes, compared to what Marquis Huaiyin said about using Xuanxiang to guide the will, then suppressing it with shield guards, and slowly grinding it to death, if I choose the route of the law soldiers, even ordinary shield guards will be greatly enhanced in a very short time. The scene when Wu'an Jun broke through Yingyin will reappear in the world. The demon god born from the corpse feast is not worth mentioning at all in front of the fully-developed law soldiers, right?" Chen Xi seemed to be telling a joke, but his eyes were unusually cold.

“Although it’s not that exaggerated, but with the foundation you have accumulated now, if you switch to the route of the Law Soldier, you will be truly invincible. Even the 30,000 demons of Yunmeng can be destroyed with a single move.” Although Bai Qi already knew that Chen Xi had rejected this proposal, he still had to say what he had to say.

"Then what?" Chen Xi asked softly, "I don't know what Shang Jun used to suppress me, but after embarking on this path, I'm afraid there's no turning back. I'll be pushed to carry out reforms."

Wu Anjun did not answer, but Chen Xi already knew the answer. Nothing was too complicated. In this world, as long as it was beyond one's ability, there would be no such thing as a free lunch.

Once the Law Army is formed, the more than 2,000 restraints will not only bind the soldiers, but also the country and the people who created it. Is it strong? Very strong!

The ritual of feasting for corpses would also be crushed under such a trend, but if Chen Xi really believed this, he would inevitably be influenced by it and move towards the path of reform.

"Although there are certainly problems with the current laws of the Han Dynasty, they can only be passed down and promoted if they are improved by the people and written by the productivity of the times. As for matters of legal reform, Wu Zi and Shang Jun have a common language, so I'll forget about it." Chen Xi shook his head and said. He could even guess which part of the Binshixiang Ritual the Law Soldiers had borrowed from!

"Han inherited the Qin system, and the law soldiers can be directly continued. You don't even need to do anything. Essentially, you have done a better job on the basics than Shang Yang. The social structure, the people's centripetal force, and the trust in the government are even better than before. You have completed the preparations for the law soldiers. All you need to do is nod, and then let Liu Xuande review them..." Bai Qi said with some emotion.

"This is the accurate way to use the oath talent, right? That's why Lord Xuande said that when he leads his army to the battlefield, at least 3 percent of the soldiers will experience a leap-forward improvement. In essence, this is the oath talent, an oath based on the glorious chapter we have written in the vicissitudes of humanity?" Chen Xi asked thoughtfully.

Bai Qi nodded. "The upper limit of the oath talent created by my grandson is actually very high. The oaths that ordinary people can use, such as oath binding, oath disaster, oath maintenance, etc., are just the most basic things. The truly powerful oaths are the ones you mentioned, the prayers for the vicissitudes of humanity and the prosperity of the world. It's just that ordinary people are not qualified to use them."

"Even if one's will is transcendent, one cannot cut off this flourishing and prosperous chapter, right?" Chen Xi said with a smile, "If you think about it this way, the strongest of the five talents of the Southern Army is actually the oath talent. Even things like the corpse feast are just stones under the wheels of history in the face of a true oath."

"Yes, but the biggest problem with the oath talent is..." Bai Qi sighed.

"Those who are qualified don't care about this oath, and those who are not qualified cannot use this oath." Chen Xi said slowly, "I roughly understand it. Thank you, Wu Anjun."

"That's not necessary. I'm just telling you what I know, but I can see that you've made your own choice. In that case, I won't say much. I'll leave you the relevant knowledge about the Law Soldiers just in case." Bai Qi shook his head and said.

"No rush. We will deal with the Yunmengze and Chu issues after we resolve the issue with Kushan. We will have more means at hand by then. As for now, let our ancestors hold on. Besides, they have already held on for seven hundred years, so they don't mind another three to five years." Chen Xi said calmly. Giving up is also a way to solve the problem. At least, it won't get worse, right?

"I always feel that you don't seem to be proactive in this matter." Bai Qi said after thinking for a while.

"After all, these are troubles left by our predecessors, not troubles I created myself. When it is easier to solve, I will solve them. But how can I be proactive in dealing with this kind of major difficulty that I don't have a good solution for?" Chen Xi said calmly, "Speaking of which, are you interested in Wu Anjun's grand martial arts performance this time?"

"Forget it. We can just find a few veterans from the palace to participate. I have no interest in this kind of thing." Bai Qi shook his head. Although he did not refuse, it was obvious that he was not very interested. However, considering that Wu'an Jun had only been entangled with Sun Wu for a few months, it was very normal for him to be physically and mentally exhausted now.

"Oh, that's fine." Chen Xi nodded and said.

Afterwards, Wu Anjun did not stay for long and left quickly. After all, he had been stuck with Sun Wu for such a long time, and Wu Anjun also missed the Tailao sacrifice that Si Niang had prepared for him.

"Law soldiers, these people in the pre-Qin period are really not human." Chen Xi sighed lightly.

If Bai Qi hadn't said it, Chen Xi might not have noticed it, but since Bai Qi had said it, Chen Xi would naturally notice the Achilles' heel of this gameplay - the governance of the world cannot be done by one person alone, and a gentleman in a position of power can't just rely on empty words! Laws and soldiers are good things, but the world belongs to everyone in the world. Chen Xi can mend the cracks in the sky with one hand, but he can't rule the world alone.

"Rejected you?" When Bai Qi appeared in the side hall of Weiyang Palace, Han Xin had already asked the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. There was hot soup boiling in the copper pot, waiting for Bai Qi to come back for a hot meal.

"Well, he refused. Things change with time. The best things five hundred years ago may not be suitable now. Besides, Chen Zichuan may have a solution, so he refused. It's not surprising." Bai Qi said with a smile, then pulled out the Youxi sword, threw it on the mutton, and asked the sword spirit to cut the meat.

"That's right. This way the cause and effect between you and that person are cleared up." Han Xin said with a smile.

"Yes, where is Wu Zi?" Bai Qi poured the chopped meat into the soup pot and boiled it twice, then raised his eyebrows and asked. He also wanted to meet the most famous general before him. As for Sun Wu, he was just average. Strong men like them generally would not receive noobs who would be defeated in the battlefield!
"He hasn't been awake for long, and he's still Mars now. He should want to use the fortune and reputation of the Han Dynasty to completely awaken his mind. Regardless of whether he can survive, at least he won't fall into this kind of slumber now." Han Xin said with a sigh.

"That's a pity. We haven't had anything decent to eat for a long time since that guy came to visit." Bai Qi sighed, picked up the cooked rice wine beside him, filled up the glasses for himself and Han Xin, then clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp. For Bai Qi, who was reborn, this kind of life was what he wanted.

"Are you going to help Wu Zi, or?" Bai Qi asked with some interest after drinking some wine and eating some hot pot.

"Wu Zi doesn't need my help, but I think it will be difficult for him to get a good ranking. He weakened the demon god too much, and the twenty-four body gods and defense accumulation cannot be used. If we only rely on basic qualities, the guards from the royal family of Chu have no advantage over the six-fold smelting these days." Han Xin pointed at Wei Yang and whispered, "Wu Zi can't get out of here, and he doesn't know a lot of things."

"What you mean is that new fun has appeared in these few months?" Bai Qi drank a bottle of distilled wine and quickly understood Han Xin's hint.

Han Xin nodded after hearing this, then searched around and found the observation mirror for Shanglinyuan that Si Niang had given him. As he said before, the more Han Xin interacted with Si Niang, the more he felt that Si Niang was definitely not a human. Many secret techniques were just an idea to Si Niang, and then there was an idea. As for the principle, there was no principle. Just use it anyway, and don't ask about the principle, because Si Niang didn't know either.

"Look, this is what Chen Zichuan made in Shanglin Garden." Han Xin searched Shanglin Garden and quickly found the heavily armed guards who were in training.

"What the hell is this!" Bai Qi looked at the heavy infantrymen in the observation mirror who were wearing heavy armor with only their eyes showing through the gaps. He was a little confused. It's not that he had never seen heavy infantry before, but he had never seen such an exaggerated version.

"Chen Zichuan has made a popular heavy infantry." Han Xin said seriously, "Not counting talent, his physical fitness is all due to muscle-building needles, bone-strengthening needles, and saffron secret medicine, which has been piled up to the level of the Imperial Guards. Even without all the blessings, his physical fitness alone is as tough as that of the Imperial Guards!"

"Didn't they say that the saffron secret medicine needs about ten years to take full effect? ​​Even if it's fast, it will take three to five years? It's only been a year." Bai Qi looked at Han Xin in surprise and said.

"That's just the conventional plan. The medicine of the Han Dynasty is not a vegetarian. What you see now is that they don't care about the cost. Chen Zichuan recruited a group of people to conduct tests, and this is the result." Han Xin pointed to the silently advancing front line in the observation mirror, his expression extremely solemn.

"Then this." Han Xin took out a sword box from the side. After opening it, there were three weapons inside. He then pushed it to Bai Qi from the table.

Bai Qi picked up the sword in the middle, felt it for a moment, then pulled out the sword spirit of You Xi Sword and stuffed it in. The quality of this sword seemed too exaggerated to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi tried the remaining two, a spear head and a golden spear. Well, in Bai Qi's opinion, the magic weapons were just like this.

"Chen Zichuan can already mass-produce this kind of thing." Han Xin said slowly.

Bai Qi's hands trembled. Can this kind of magical weapon be mass-produced?
Although it was announced to the public that there were only 500-odd dragon bone weapons, Chen Xi has already stepped up efforts to have Xiangli conduct reverse analysis and re-smelt them. If luck is not too bad, samples should be available by April or May of the eleventh year of Yuanfeng. If luck is very bad, samples should be available by the end of the twelfth year of Yuanfeng.

After all, the material ratios of each furnace of Xiangli's were recorded according to Chen Xi's requirements. Even though there might be unknown additives in it, by reverse analyzing the results and combining them with the material ratios when the furnace was opened, it would only be a matter of time before they could be replicated.

What's more, Xiangli Qin, who was sent by Xiangli clan, guaranteed to Chen Xi that it could be reproduced before the twelfth year of Yuanfeng at the latest. Given the habits developed by Xiangli clan in Daqin, when he said this time point, it was basically equivalent to using his own three or nine clans as a guarantee.

This is also the advantage of blast furnace smelting. Once the technology is developed, production capacity can really explode!

"So during the meeting this time, I simply gave the suggestion of exporting the will, because the rest doesn't matter. Even if there are some powerful demons that are difficult to kill, most of them are just wild boars to the Han soldiers who use this kind of weapon and dress like this." Han Xin took the new Youxi sword and looked at the words engraved on the sword's spine with great emotion.

"For Chen Zichuan now, it is only a matter of stepping forward for the soldiers whose basic qualities have reached those of the Imperial Guards. This kind of magical weapon, which was unthinkable before, is just a standard weapon for Chen Xi. The route he takes is completely different from ours, but his strength is unquestionable." Han Xin put down the Youxi Sword and said slowly.

"Is this medicine really without any side effects?" Bai Qi showed a little humanity.

"If it were our time, would you ask this kind of question?" Han Xin sneered.

"That's right." Bai Qi nodded. It was enough to enhance combat effectiveness. As for the damage? On the battlefield, let alone something that would not kill you on the spot, even if it really killed you on the spot, you had to use it. Chen Xi's stuff was already very mild.

"But I still have to say one thing. After the efforts of pharmacists, the drug toxicity problem has been completely solved. In addition, these things are not used to strengthen the body, but to open the upper limit of the body's functions. As for how to fill this upper limit, it depends on eating." Han Xin pointed to the things on the table and said, "The things we eat are also eaten by the soldiers, and they are not necessarily inferior to us."

Bai Qi was silent for a while. Although he also followed Liu Bei and Chen Xi on the eastern tour, he was not very clear about the quality of the soldiers' meals. Bai Qi and Han Xin knew that the guards of Weiyang Palace ate the imperial meals with them, but to say that they ate the same food as their level...

"I'll find it for you." Han Xin adjusted the observation mirror and quickly found the special dining place of the Shaofu. At this time, Huang Xiu and Baxiu were eating and drinking in front of the Ruishi trio and Hou Jing. As for the four on the opposite side, although they were also issued muscle-building injections and bone-strengthening injections and were qualified to eat and drink here, these four did not fight. They just ate here every day.

When Bai Qi looked at the observation mirror, he happened to see the chef from the Shaofu frying steaks for Bashu and the others. Several large steaks with meat were sizzling on the iron plate.

On the other side, a dozen fried eggs were placed on the plate, a pot of steamed rice was filled with a large spoonful of gravy, and a full spoonful of braised cubes of pork belly was scooped out with a colander and spread all over the pot.

He scooped the fried yellow croaker and tofu onto the plate, then took out a clay pot of milk and added two spoons of sugar into it. He pushed it to the food collection counter for Bashu and Huang Xiu to come and get the food. After they came, he placed the almost fried ribs on the plate.

To be honest, if a normal person eats like this, not to mention the problem of calorie explosion, whether they can finish the meal is a huge problem. But for adolescent teenagers who need high-intensity training and explosive growth in height and weight, if their growth rate is the kind of ten centimeters in two months, they may need to supplement with other nutrients to eat this amount.

Apart from anything else, Bashu has only been here for a dozen days, but he feels that he has grown a few centimeters taller and gained almost five kilograms. Otherwise, how could he have made further breakthroughs in his fight against the Demon God Zhuanglu?
These are all noble achievements brought about by the improvement of basic qualities!
"This is too much." Bai Qi frowned and said, "How much does this meal cost? Is this how you raise soldiers? This meal must cost at least a few hundred coins!"

"Forty-nine coins." Han Xin said expressionlessly.

Bai Qi didn't say anything for a long time after hearing this, and finally uttered the word "fuck"!
"How did he do this? There must be more than one big yellow croaker alone." Bai Qi did not think that Han Xin was lying to him. After all, this kind of thing could not be fooled.

"I don't know, but when I asked before, he gave this price. He said that if the logistics industry could be more developed and mobile transportation could be faster, the cost of the special meals for the Shaofu in Chang'an could be reduced further. It is said that over at the Liaoxi and Liaodong ranches, Chen Zichuan could reduce the price of so many things to thirty-nine cents." Han Xin thought for a while and said, while Bai Qi felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.

This is really a problem of logistics and supply chain. Chen Xi's kitchen has no labor and venue costs. The chef's money is not paid by the army, but by the Shaofu. The labor cost is not included in the 49 cents of the meal standard. Not to mention the supply chain. They are all factories opened by Chen Xi, so he can just look for the cheapest place. On the contrary, the logistics costs are occasionally too high.

As for the high-end ingredients available at certain times, such as the ribs and yellow croaker that are in abundance today, they are all scheduled for this time, which means it is time to produce them during this period of time. This is different from the capitalist logic that it is better to throw away something if it cannot be sold. Since there are a lot of them available at this time, of course we have to let everyone eat more of them, and eat as much as they can!
Therefore, the meal price of 49 cents made Liu Tong and Si Niang feel that Chen Xi was cheating them of their living expenses. Chen Xi was helpless about this. After all, even in the 21st century, when a dish of stir-fried food cost dozens of yuan, there were still twenty or so meals of migrant workers outside large construction sites for ten to thirteen yuan, which included meat and vegetables, cooked on the same day, and were high in oil and salt.

The cost of food is actually not high. What is high is the added value. Of course, there are also various rents, taxes, etc. that are passed on to consumers. If you exclude these and look at the price of food, you will find that the low prices feel like we are living in the past.

The most realistic thing is that even today in the 21st century, barbecue restaurants in Xi'an still sell a large number of beef, tendons, tendons, tripe, salted tendons, etc., which are skewered and grilled on the same day, and the taste and freshness are very good.

The price of food is the price of food, and the additional fees are the additional fees.

The prices given by the special food supply offices opened by Chen Xi in Shaofu, Liaoxi, Liaodong, Donglai, Yuzhang and other places were all pure food prices, which did not even include the wages of the cooks.

This resulted in a price that Bai Qi found outrageous.

In fact, Chen Xi knew very well that he should not open this store in Chang'an. It would be cheaper and less troublesome to open this store in Liaoxi, Liaodong, Donglai, Yuzhang and other places. But Chang'an is the capital city under the feet of the emperor, so he had to open one even if he had to pay a little more.

"Injections and secret medicines are actually nothing. Even if other countries get those things, they can only be used for the core elite. What's outrageous about Chen Zichuan is that he uses these things as the basis. The price of injections is not expensive, but the food behind them is expensive." Han Xin looked at Huang Xiu who was sucking bone marrow in the mirror with obvious admiration, "This is the foundation."

"Come on, come on, let's go over there to eat. I think the food over there tastes better." Bai Qi stood up and said. He had to see how cheap it was.

"No, to eat there, you need a token. It's not impossible for the two of us to go, but it's really unnecessary. You can tell the kitchen and they can prepare a set for you. It will cost you more at most." Han Xin refused. Chen Xi was actually very strict in this regard. Although it wouldn't cost much even if he kept on eating there, Chen Xi did keep supervising in this regard.

"Is that so?" Bai Qi paused after hearing this, then smiled a little and said, "This is actually the foundation of the law. Compared to restricting those people, we should be restricted!"

Han Xin was somewhat unable to accept what he heard. After all, he and Bai Qi lived in completely different environments. Bai Qi did not advocate the so-called law, but believed that it could indeed restrain people's hearts, maintain social stability, and allow the system to continue for a longer time. Having witnessed that kind of chaos, even if he stood above all other creatures, Bai Qi felt that it was better to be stable.

On the other side, Hou Jing and others had somewhat complicated expressions when they saw Baxiu and Huang Xiu eating and drinking so much. In the eyes of this group of people, these two bastards were here to waste national assets. They were already over 70 years old and might die at any time, yet they still kept eating like this.

"It feels really good." Bashu loosened his belt, poured the remaining rice into his mouth, then wiped his mouth and said excitedly.

"That's enough." Guangyuan held a bowl of tea and tried his best to persuade him, "We all came from a poor family, so you should have some conscience for doing this!"

"I will go to the Ganges in three years!" Bashu said, patting his chest, "When the time comes, I will die in battle as a tough man!"

It's so tiring to work like a slave, but it's even more tiring to stay at home and take care of the kids, and my work and rest schedule is unstable. I feel desperate.
