Chapter 6964 My Position
In short, every era has its own incredible gameplay. After Chen Xi took over, the first thing he got rid of was the abominable mercenary system of the Han Dynasty.

As long as they are soldiers, the most they have is a difference in rank. There cannot be such a thing as temporary workers. Those who died on the battlefield all served the country. Do they have to be divided into temporary and non-temporary?
This is also the reason why Chen Xi, after he became rich in the later period, was willing to pay back salaries to all veterans as long as they had evidence to prove that they had fought for the country.

Before Chen Xi was in power, they could just pretend not to see it, but now that he is in power, it would be a bit too much to pretend not to see it. So Chen Xi actually reimbursed the salaries of all the veterans who had participated in foreign wars and maintained national stability, and after they reached the age of 60, they would receive an annual stipend of rice, flour, oil, and meat at the end of the year.

However, this operation is somewhat problematic in these days, because essentially, Chen Xi, a guy who believes that the Yellow Turbans have the right to rebel in order to survive, is paying pensions to the Sanhe and Five Schools that suppressed the Yellow Turbans when implementing the policy.

Not many, but they are there.

This is also the key reason for the conflict between Guan Yu and Huangfu Song, because there is a deviation between what Chen Xi said and what he did on this matter.

The problem is that Chen Xi has no way to explain this matter. The Three Rivers and Five Schools suppressed the Yellow Turbans in compliance with the orders of the national government. They worked hard to suppress the Yellow Turbans, so when the Han Dynasty continued, this group of people should be rewarded.

Therefore, even if Chen Xi believed that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was justified, and after unifying the world, he should let the Yellow Turbans enjoy the benefits of a prosperous era and no longer pursue any past issues, his past achievements could not be ignored. The Sanhe and Five Schools led by Huangfu Song did have the merit of supporting the Han Dynasty. Without Huangfu Song and that group of people fighting desperately to suppress the Yellow Turbans, the Han Dynasty would not have lived up to the day when Chen Xi came to power.

Therefore, after Chen Xi came to power, as long as he recognized that Huangfu Song had indeed maintained the unity of the Han Empire, he would reward the person who had worked for this bloody unification.

Even though this reward did not seem like much to Chen Xi, it was just to provide the regular troops on the list provided by Huangfu Song, with food, fuel, basic housing, bedding for all four seasons, and normal disease treatment. After their death, if they had no descendants, the local government would properly arrange the relevant funeral arrangements. It would not cost much in a year.

After all, in Chen Xi's system, to put it bluntly, this thing means that the local bedding factory should send a set of clothes every quarter, and a quilt in winter and summer. If there is a local agricultural grain and non-staple food workshop, send someone to bring some self-produced non-staple food to check it out every ten days. The local open-pit coal mine should pull a cart of coal briquettes every quarter, and the local supply and marketing cooperative should remember to bring two bags of rice and a pot of oil every month, a piece of meat during the four seasons, and half a pound of sugar at the end of the year.

As for medical treatment and funerals, how should I put it? The medical technology of the Han Dynasty was just so-so in improving the grassroots level. It was basically the prescriptions studied by Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. In most places, the rubbish doctors just relied on their feelings to treat diseases. If that didn't work, they would just use these ten or so commonly used medicines. If they didn't work, then it was over. But to be honest, this actually greatly improved the health and medical level of the Han Dynasty.

Because the dozen or so Chinese patent medicines developed by Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji can indeed deal with most problems, and even if you are not sick, there will be no impact after taking them. Thanks to these things, the life expectancy of the lower-class people has increased by more than ten years. It can only be said that the medical technology before was basically non-existent, but now at least this kind of medicine can indeed deal with most diseases.

But speaking of this, Chen Xi thought of antibiotics, which are truly epoch-making miracle drugs. Although people in later generations often say that antibiotics are abused, and it is indeed abused, you have to admit that antibiotics can cure most diseases.

Anyway, for most diseases, the problem of antibiotics is dosage. The most obvious point is that one bottle of early penicillin contained about 160 to 80 units, which was enough to kill most of the germs at that time. By the st century, the starting dose of penicillin in hospitals was million units, and a small number was units. This is what it means for bacteria to develop drug resistance.

This is also the reason why many ancient medicines are useless against modern bacteria, because modern bacteria have been screened by antibiotics, and those old stuff basically cannot kill modern bacteria.

Of course, to be honest, from a bacteriological point of view, this cannot be said to be a completely bad thing, because bacteria themselves have very few genetic fragments and carry little energy. Once they have developed drug resistance, it is difficult for bacteria to balance strength. This is also the reason why contemporary bacteria, even if they have become popular, are relatively rare in terms of virulent and lethal bacteria. After all, evolution also requires energy.

We first tried a shot of penicillin with 160 million units, but it was used on virulent and lethal bacteria that had no drug resistance and couldn't even get through the first round, so there was no further development.

The same is true for when a physical body travels back to ancient times. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about the bacteria on one's body killing people around. What one needs to worry more about is that those virulently lethal bacteria hundreds or thousands of years ago penetrated the immune system of the traveler and then took the traveler away directly.

After all, bacteria that have not been beaten by antibiotics have high lethality, acute and other combat effects. After being beaten by antibiotics, the bacteria begin to develop drug resistance, but their own combat effectiveness decreases rapidly.

By the way, this is also the reason why the medical and health care industry and the bigwigs of bacteriology in later generations are extremely wary of the melting of the Antarctic ice sheet. To put it bluntly, the low temperature is likely to have caused the ancient deadly bacteria to hibernate until now, and then take the opportunity of the ice melting to rush out and kill.

After all, who knows what mechanism the ancestors of the Archaea have. If it is negative resistance and critical hit damage, then the degree of danger is actually very outrageous!
Chen Xi didn't suggest any antibiotics, but he just used a dozen commonly used Chinese patent medicines prepared by the two great doctors. So far, the effect is quite good.

However, precisely because this approach worked so well, Huangfu Song felt that Chen Xi's position was very clear and that he was standing firmly on the side of the Han Dynasty.

There was no way. What Chen Xi took for granted was absolutely beyond belief in this era, especially since most of the people from the Three Rivers and Five Schools during Huangfu Song's era, even though they were old, had the ability to live independently to a certain extent. So Chen Xi thought that things that needed to be delivered to their doorsteps would usually be picked up by themselves.

This is a very big difference, it belongs to the Confucian concept of providing for the elderly, it means that even if there is no heir, the country will solve the affairs before and after death, and what Chen Xi thinks is very ordinary is completely exceptional in this era, and it can even be an operation that can break the defense of many small families.

Whether the country remembers you or not actually lies in these details, and these actions are actually explaining that the country remembers everything you have done. Even if it is not publicized or recorded in history books, the country remembers what you have done. You can eat and drink your food with peace of mind. The country will support you until you die, and after you die, it will properly handle your funeral and send you to the mausoleum.

In Chen Xi's opinion, this is natural. Even Chen Xi still thinks that people should eat meat. The dignified and terrifying upright ape evolved for millions of years. Is it just to eat grass? Eating meat is necessary. Eating meat every day is the progress of society.

However, in this era, let alone eating meat every day, being able to eat it every month is already considered a prosperous age. Given the situation in the Central Plains, throughout history, the people could only say with a clear conscience that they were full during the Kaiyuan and Tianbao years. At other times, they had to wait for reforms.

Therefore, some of the policies implemented by Chen Xi appear to be extremely unusual in details. It is not a question of whether they are strong or not, but that they are elevated to the level of ancient books and legends for people of this era.

But then again, this is also the reason why the old soldiers of the Three Rivers and Five Schools still identify with their own identities and believe that fighting for the country is correct and just in some way - if it is not correct and just, why does the country have to give me so many supplements every year until I die!

Chen Xi did not explain this, but sometimes, Chen Xi's silence would be interpreted by people with different positions in a way that suits their own positions. For example, Huangfu Song firmly believed that Chen Xi's compromise with the Yellow Turbans was only for the sake of better stability in the world, rather than that he really believed in the correctness of the common people's rebellion.

On the other hand, after Chen Xi fulfilled his promises regarding food, clothing, housing and transportation, the Yellow Turbans also believed that the justice Chen Xi talked about did exist. They were indeed fighting for this future back then, but they did not possess the ideological wisdom and relevant theoretical system.

In short, everyone does believe in the sutras that Chen Xi recited, but after the sutras were recited, the interpretations of various schools were different, and some were even diametrically opposed. To this, Chen Xi can only say that the hundreds of schools of thought originated from the Book of Changes, and they have the same source but opposite principles, which is actually the truth.

Therefore, Chen Xi is very open-minded about many things, and is even mentally prepared for the possibility that someone will misinterpret his teachings in the future. That's just the way it is. Anyway, in an era when he can still control things, he will try his best to set an example so that those who come after him will have a law to follow.

Therefore, facing the problem of Bai Qi, Chen Xi's attitude was very casual. He really made changes, even the system of mercenaries/temporary workers in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He tried his best to be perfect in this regard.

"It seems so." Bai Qi recalled that he noticed this when he read the official history books, and it seemed to be true.

"It's not just an appearance, it's the fact, and what is owed will even be repaid. The Han Dynasty has been able to survive only because the regular army is provided with food and salaries no matter what happens." Chen Xi said speechlessly, but he had to admit that this trick was indeed effective.

"Come to think of it, as long as the veterans are left on the battlefield for a long time, the talents they possess will become more adaptable to the battlefield. There should be no problem, right?" Chen Xi looked at Bai Qi and asked.

"It should be." Bai Qi thought for a while and said.

"What do you mean by should be?" Chen Xi asked with a strange look on his face.

"Sun Tzu didn't have much time to fight, Wu Zi changed hands too many times, there wasn't much essence of heaven and earth in the era of Marquis Huaiyin, and I had no way to verify such things at that time." Bai Qi spoke with a spirit of verification, and he was very confident.

"To be honest, it is true." Wu Qi was the first to change his previously firm statement. Sun Wu thought about it and felt that what he said was indeed theoretical knowledge, but everyone knows that theory is sometimes different from reality.

"At that time, didn't you still have some of the essence of heaven and earth? And you had been fighting for a long time. Why? Wasn't it verified?" Han Xin played the role of a supporting actor very well.

"Aren't I just killing people indiscriminately? I win every game. Do you think I would study how to develop talents, how to optimize them, how to become stronger and more streamlined?" Bai Qi said as a matter of course.

The pressure from the Four Saints was passed on to Huangfu Song who had spoken earlier. Huangfu Song was silent for a while and didn’t know how to explain. What you all said makes so much sense, damn!
"In theory, there is no problem. It is essentially a kind of screening. The mortality rate is higher in unsuitable development directions." Sun Wu explained as tactfully as possible, but it was like saying, I have indeed not experienced such a long-term stalemate in a war, and I can only draw conclusions based on speculation.

Chen Xi turned his head to look at Huangfu Song and just smiled slightly. Everything was self-explanatory. Huangfu Song understood everything. He could only say that the big boss was bullying others.

"Zichuan, find Wu Xi for me." Seeing that Chen Xi stopped communicating with the four giant gods, Li You quickly sent a message to Chen Xi.

"What's wrong? Can't you find it yourself?" Chen Xi asked in surprise. He clicked on Wu Xi's name and tried to locate it, but failed.

"No? Out!" Chen Xi clicked the location twice, then turned to look at Zhao Shuang. Zhao Shuang also screened and confirmed that there was no one. Chen Xi turned his head and smiled at Li You.

"It's impossible for him to be eliminated." Li You said with a headache, "Wu Xi was smelted at the seventh level, as you know. Not to mention the demons you put in before, even the Huns would have to work hard to kill Wu Xi. However, Wu Xi disappeared inexplicably."

"Then it's over. It might have sunk into the inner world." Chen Xi was stunned for a moment and gave his own judgment directly. Li You was also stunned when he heard it and looked at Chen Xi in amazement.

"No, Zichuan, can an old soldier jump from a small world to the inner world?" Li Youren was dumbfounded. If so, what should he do with his body? Throw it into the Wanxiang Palace for preservation? Like Cao Sikong back then, soak it in a culture tank first?

"I don't know. There's a small probability that it will leak out. This is calculated by Zhao Shuang. I'll send you the relevant mathematical formula." Chen Xi passed the Menger sponge, which has an infinite surface area and zero volume in mathematics, to Li You based on the mathematical formula that Zhao Shuang forcibly expanded.

Li You took a look at it and threw it out of his mind. If he could understand this, he would twist Xu Yue's head three times. Did he really think that Li You didn't know that Xu Yue would mess with him every day? If Xu Yue was not the only one in the world who could work with databases, he would have whipped Xu Yue and used him like a beast of burden.

"In short, as of now, there is an extremely low probability of leakage. It seems that Wu Xi has encountered this low-probability event. But it doesn't matter. With Wu Xi's strength, there will generally be no problems. Moreover, with the life imprint, he can survive for at least a few decades. It's not a big problem." Chen Xi said with a smile, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

In fact, Chen Xi knew very well that Wu Xi had probably used some means to block their lock. As for the possibility of it leaking into the other world, it was indeed possible from a mathematical point of view, but the probability was unknown at one in a billion. As for the real world, it could be assumed that it did not exist.

"Still in there, right?" Li You and Chen Xi had worked together for more than ten years, so he knew Chen Xi's personality. Seeing this, he stopped asking and began to look around based on his own experience and familiarity with Wu Xi's style, and then found a Hun.

"Prepare to die, Hun!" Ai Xin looked at the Hun in front of him who didn't look tall and was rather thin with great excitement. After looking around, he finally found a Hun. He heard a rumor in a certain public area that if he killed a Hun and captured it with a special method, he could get a box of high-quality silk after taking it out. Ai Xin was very motivated after receiving the news.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are not many veterans who can do this kind of thing, and Ai Xin happens to be one of them. As for the question of how strong the Huns are, damn, I, Ai Xin, am a sixth-level smelting expert, the chief centurion of the Fifth Skylark, with only the sixth level, I can capture them with ease!

As he was speaking, Ai Xin excitedly picked up his Roman dagger and rushed towards the old Hun soldier. At this time, Wu Xi, who had relied on Single Idealism to forcibly refine the old Hun soldier and put him on his body, was somewhat annoyed. He couldn't find the Demon God, nor could he find Zhang Yong, and he only encountered one Hun.

You have to know that all the crimes that Wu Xi had committed over the years could be completely whitewashed after being cleansed in the national war if he could collect three or five Hun heads.

Do you know what it means to be completely whitewashed? That means there is no crime at all! For Wu Xi, this means that the title that has not been touched for more than ten years can finally be moved. With Wu Xi's strength and ability to lead troops, if he fights hard, there is still some hope for the entire Guannei Hou.

In fact, to be honest, if he hadn't committed so many crimes back then that his title had been locked for so many years, he would probably have been the Marquis of Guannei based on the merits he had accumulated in fighting for the country over the years.

Unfortunately, because the crime he committed was so serious, he was not killed directly, but was given a very good arrangement, which was already considered very generous. If he wanted more, he could only rely on the heads of the Huns.

This is the real hard currency of the Han Empire. Other things may depreciate, but the heads of Huns never depreciate at all. Let alone Wu Xi's crime, even the crime of the Three Idiots can be washed away in front of enough Huns' heads.

So Wu Xi was also actively fighting the Xiongnu, but maybe it was a matter of luck, he just couldn't meet one, and finally caught one. Wu Xi suddenly had an idea and decided to use fishing enforcement!
After refining this Huns outfit and then putting it on himself, he relied on his invincible single idealism and superhuman illusion to condense it into a shape. He, Wu Xi, was the Huns Yi Mi. What he had to do next was to rely on fishing enforcement to attract other Huns, and then successfully blend into the Huns group and kill them all!

However, just as the plan was being implemented, the Romans had already come running over before the Huns were even attracted.

Looking at this idiot Ai Xin, even Wu Xi who wanted to seek revenge on the Fifth Skylark didn't want to pay any attention to him. He only wanted to find the Xiongnu now. He had already avenged his hatred with the Fifth Skylark before and there was no need to bother with him anymore. But who could have thought that Ai Xin would chase him relentlessly and even cheer for his luck.

Bullshit luck! Wu Xi has already prepared himself mentally. As long as Ai Xin rushes over to attack him, he will beat Ai Xin to death on the spot!

As expected, Ai Xin rushed over cheering. The peculiarity of light and shadow manipulation caused Wu Xi's perspective to be somewhat offset, so that Ai Xin raised the Roman dagger, turned the suppression talent to the maximum, and Wu Xi did not react until the gas cutting and phantom light suppression were about to pierce Wu Xi's armor.

It has to be said that a guy like Ai Xin who can control the atmosphere, control light and shadow, and suppress his own presence is definitely an assassin.

The sword pierced Wu Xi's armor, and the shadow of the incident ten years ago when the Fifth Skylark killed thousands of people in Lianghe directly emerged from Wu Xi's heart.

You are shameless, right? I don't want to bother with you and was ready to move away, but you dare to chase me. Okay, I'll send you off!

When Ai Xin's Roman dagger pierced Yi Mi, he realized something was wrong.

As the chief veteran who retired from the Fifth Skylark, he has a very clear understanding of his own strength. The manipulation of light and shadow affects the opponent's vision, the manipulation of the atmosphere affects the propagation of sound, and the suppression of his own existence affects the opponent's normal perception. Under the triple blinding, it is basically impossible for the opponent to detect his attack in advance unless the opponent has super intuition.

Regarding this point, Ai Xin conducted a test on the veterans of the Tenth Knight, and found that the opponents were actually unable to accurately judge his attacks.

Therefore, Ai Xin's attack method is very simple, that is, under the triple blinding, he explodes his talent strength, forcibly suppresses the opponent's talent strength for about 0.1 second, and then kills the opponent with one sword.

This set of attack methods seems very simple, but it is extremely effective. At least over the years, Ai Xin has never met many people who can withstand it. However, this time, he failed. What's worse is that the way he failed was very outrageous and did not break the defense!

After a stab, he found that the defense was not broken, so Ai Xin jumped back directly. His talent for controlling light and shadow instantly showed the error between the real jumping distance and the image jumping distance. Then the airflow control dragged Ai Xin's entity to fly backwards to a farther distance. At the moment of widening the distance, Ai Xin controlled the light and shadow to slash at the Hun whose strength was a bit outrageous.

But at this moment, Ai Xin has realized that he has hit a wall, but it’s okay, he can run!
