Chapter 4030: New business

After prying Huaxia's track from the cycle of reincarnation, the cycle of dividing for a long time must be combined and a long time must be divided, Chen Xi rarely has the idea of ​​eager for quick success and quick profit. The circle is no longer in the previous cycle.

On the road behind, whether it is fast or slow, as long as you don't fall back, you will only get closer and closer to success, so Chen Xi's mentality is very calm.

Before the release, Chen Xi, facing the situation in northern Shaanxi and other places in later generations, would definitely give birth to the idea of ​​quick success, but now, Chen Xi has been able to face this reality squarely.

"Then let's follow this path?" Liu Bei didn't have any purpose himself, he just took Chen Xi out to relax, avoiding Chen Xi immersed in those boring self-blame.

Even though Chen Xi's self-adjustment ability is very good, but for Liu Bei, this kind of thing can be avoided, it is better to avoid it, and bring it out to relax. Anyway, Chen Xi does not work, entertaining, and has a relaxed mind, and can work for a longer time. live.

With this wave, Liu Bei is really in the atmosphere, and the issue of service life still has to be considered.

"Let's go, just to see how the construction in the other direction of the Northland that this road leads to is going on." Chen Xi said indifferently.

Later generations of the Loess Plateau belonged to Yongzhou and Bingzhou during this period. Needless to say, those close to Bingzhou were basically sucked away by the ranch.

Chen Xi didn’t have a good idea. He could only follow the second plan, which is to shovel out a place suitable for establishing counties in the complex terrain, absorb the mountain population, and make the other party out of the Loess Plateau. The effect, I just went to have a look this time.

"The Northland Ranch is very well built." Liu Bei said thoughtfully. After all, he personally went to the Northland Ranch. Liu Bei was really good with the senses there. He has the ability to raise troops and is large-scale. Providing meat and milk is a very important job.

It is precisely because it is too important that Liu Bei evaluates the bureaucrats arranged there and needs to be rotated periodically. Because it is too important, it is not only to solve the local food problem, but also to maintain the stability of the country, which is an important support for military strength.

"If you really want to say it, it's okay." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, but he thought of the big horned deer raised by Jiang Qi and the red deer raised by Liu Ru.

"Although you built these things, I always feel that you still look at them the least." Liu Bei said quietly.

"Ah, that's not the case. I rarely underestimate others." Chen Xi shook his head and said.

"That's probably because what they did in your eyes did not reach the limit you want." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi's clear eyes and said with a smile, Chen Xi was speechless.

"You guy, don't know if it's arrogance or because of pushing yourself up to others." Liu Bei said with a smile, really having nothing to say about Chen Xi.

"It doesn't count, because there is indeed room for growth." Chen Xi scratched his head and said. Animal husbandry is almost the only industry in the Han Dynasty that is likely to be comparable to China in the later industrial era, because compared to the capital that later generations can invest, this The times can be guaranteed ten times by patting the chest!

Even if you invest ten times the grassland of later generations, the output is only about one-two tenths. Of course, you have to admit that this scale is already very scary in this era.

"That's the room for growth you think." Liu Bei said helplessly, "Although it is a good thing to promote yourself and others, you really can't think that everyone has the same ability as you."

"I didn't, and I didn't hold this hope." Chen Xi denied it very formally.

"If you say no, then no, but I still have to say a digression. You didn't speak before. I haven't noticed. In fact, any large ranch has the function of operating as a county. The entire Northland The county revolves around the large ranch, and even the Northland does not have a bureaucratic system, the large ranch can still revitalize the Northland county, right." Liu Bei suddenly said.

Liu Bei didn’t pay attention to this before, but after Chen Xiyan replaced these executive-level bureaucrats with state-owned factories and mines, Liu Bei discovered the fact that the dozens of large ranches in the north really have to talk about their own functions. The county where they are located.

"Ah, yes, the rancher of the Northland Ranch has a clear salary, with a rank of two thousand shi, and the Northland Ranch has a captain, Duweijiang Palace, Guanneihou, with a rank of two thousand shi." Chen Xi Nodded and said, this is actually a very clear configuration of the big county.

"Is there no county guard in Beidi County itself?" Liu Bei asked in a puzzled way.

"There are no county guards and no captains. There are only nominal part-time bureaucrats. In fact, Northland County itself was in a state of ruin. It was after the large pastures that the prosperity we had when we visited the year before last. Those people are basically the employees of the ranch and their families, and then other links are generated by the consumption of these people." Chen Xi explained.

There are no people. The official titles are all nonsense. At first, the Northland is not an empty city, but it is almost the same. When Jiang Qi takes the Northland Ranch to fly, there will naturally be people, and then attract people from other places to settle down. In the end, there was a county town that seemed to be quite prosperous.

At this time, it is actually possible to establish a bureaucratic system with the new county as the core, but Chen Xi is purely to save trouble. Anyway, it can run without those people. It is better not to add entities. Give the administrators more beef and let They just continue to work as before.

After all, I have eaten 2,000 cows in a year, so it’s not too much to let you do some other work part-time.

"That's it." Liu Bei expressed his understanding. Although he vaguely felt that this management method was a bit weird, but when I recalled the previous year when I went to the North, there was nothing wrong with the operation there, so I didn't think much. It's good to pay a few people's salary.

"Because of the dilapidation of Bian County, many counties in Yanbian were not specially built. First, state-owned factories and mines were established. Later, because of the development of state-owned factories and mines, the absorbed population established new living quarters on their own, and finally formed. The county." Chen Xi said calmly, as if she was talking about a small thing.

In fact, this kind of trivial matter is an important part of destroying the personal constraints of the clan and a way to destroy the absolute authority of the bureaucracy. In any case, factory and mine managers are different from bureaucrats in this era.

In this way, the management of factories and mines constantly promotes the construction and builds a new city in the wilderness, and then the bureaucrats are not in place, but they continue to operate, and finally serve as the bureaucratic system. It is itself disintegrating the authority of the bureaucracy.

Just like Liu Bang’s descendants wanted to wash Liu Bang, but a group of cheerful old guys around said that they came here, you haven’t seen your great ancestor, but we have met, and you blow up some unimportant details. That's it, bragging about these things that we look at is fake, I'm afraid it's not blind!

So there is nothing left to do, the hooligans will be hooligans.

In the same way, the general environment of factories and mines is laid there. If you understand more, it is impossible to produce any sacredness. What the bureaucrats say from the industrial structure belongs to the tertiary industry. To speak of particularity, it is probably This service industry has a relatively strong source of functions.

However, Chen Xi didn't bother to explain this kind of thing. To transform this era, Chen Xi alone is unrealistic. Wang Mang's steps are too big and the direct person is gone, so he is still more realistic. He can easily touch him directly. Leave a seed if you can't touch it easily.

Anyway, the times are developing, and it's impossible to say when these seeds can take root and sprout and grow into giant trees in the sky.

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." Liu Bei nodded. Although Chen Xi didn't explain the reason, he thought from the perspective of human relations. He also felt that the state-owned factories and mines, and the ranch owners finally pulled up a piece of white land and made a prosperous achievement. The county government, and then a group of newcomers airborne and took over all positions in the county government.

This is unreasonable anyway, so even if it is not in compliance with the rules, not arranging positions for the other party, it is better than parachuting to seize power.

"But if you want to deal with Jizhou this time, I am afraid that the northern counties will also need to move. The same is true for the Smelting Department." Chen Xi thought for a while and said.

"Remove those personnel from their original management positions in state-owned factories and mines, and then take up posts such as the county guard they previously held concurrently?" Liu Bei understood Chen Xi's intentions in an instant, but his expression was obviously hesitant. owe?"

"Ah, let's talk about whether you owe it or not. After all, they were only part-timers before, and there was no clear text. Now they have given Yin Shou, which is a new entry path, but it is a pity." Chen Xi's face clearly showed hesitation. .

During this period, the owners of those large ranches in the north were carefully selected by Chen Xi...

Well, it’s Liu Yan who has searched the world and sought out important animal husbandry talents from all over the country, begging grandpas and grandmothers from all over the country. The most suitable occupation for these people is to be the managers of the country’s large-scale animal husbandry. If they become officials, these people will not Can't be considered excellent.

Just like Jiang Qi and Liu Ru, neither of these two people actually want to be officials, because they are not good at personal management, and even their own ranch is managed by their subordinates, and their positioning is more equivalent to the general manager. work.

Management is not good, but the two of them have very strong technical capabilities, so strong that the senior management can be changed, but the chief engineer cannot be changed, so it is nonsense to remove the two of them as officials.

In the same way, the nominal administrators of the thirteen early large-scale pastures were basically such technical talents. They may understand management, but management is definitely not what they are best at.

"Then you can send the documents to them, and they will recommend them." Liu Bei said indifferently. Since you don't want them to go, just don't give it to them.

Hearing this, Chen Xi glanced at Liu Bei angrily. You think this kind of thing, I can't think of it. The problem is that there is a fan in it. Chen Xi gave a letter of recommendation. The other party must be decisive to become an official. The problem is that Chen Xi doesn't want to. Let these professionals become officials.

Run to become an official, and then people fail to resist the temptation and are ruined. Isn't this a big defeat?

Although Chen Xi said that the construction of the ranch every day was not as good as he thought, but according to his conscience, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level in this era.

The simplest answer is that you now let three or four of these 13 people go to be officials, and then ask Liu Yan to find a few more roles that can be replaced, and Liu Yan can't find it either.

At this level, there is basically a radish and a pit, so Chen Xi doesn't want to let people go.

"At this time, it's my time." Liu Bei said confidently, "Give them some adjustments to their vacancies so that they have the ability to temper local bureaucrats, and then let them recommend the local bureaucrats. Of course, they don't recommend it. If you do, you can accept it, and you can do it concurrently. This way you will have your face and leeway, and the official fans will be satisfied."

"..." Chen Xi has nothing to say. This is really not taking the local county officials as human beings. Chen Xi wonders that although she sometimes is a little inappropriate, he and Liu Bei's imperial iron fist directly ignores when necessary. The rules of play are still very different.

In fact, Chen Xi wanted to make a difference. Liu Bei didn't ignore the county-level bureaucrats, but just figured it out, or more directly, Liu Bei was thinking about the problem from the perspective of an official Wangjue.

Compared with Chen Xi who has to look forward and backward, Liu Bei doesn't need to think about these messy things at all. These ranchers take the county to fly, and these ranchers do the cattle and sheep.

The position of a county-level bureaucrat was between one million and ten million in the years of Emperor Ling. For example, Beidi and Jiuyuan had no oil and water, and they were ruined to counties and counties with no population and no search, and a price was set. , And no one bought it.

Now there is a tycoon who owns millions of cattle and sheep, with a total value of more than one billion, and a steady stream of output, who provides meat and dairy products to the people in the north. Basically it is guaranteed not to mess around.

What else is there to say, Lingdi knows how to deal with it, of course it is for, even in the years of Lingdi, this kind of good thing, buy one get three, are willing to do.

What, you want Jiuyuan County to be the county guard who produces hundreds of thousands of sheep’s meat, thousands of horses, thousands of cows, and dairy products worth hundreds of millions of dollars every year?

What else is there to say, Jiuyuan County, the county guard, will arrange it for you today, if you give it more, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Shuofang, Yanmen can arrange it for you.

Liu Bei's way of thinking is also the same. Although it is not good to give and receive privately, the other party has given enough. Anyway, in reality, this group of people has actually managed for several years, and there have been some random and harmful things. Now they If you want, just give it to them.

So compared to Chen Xi's complicated way of thinking, Liu Bei is simpler. The math problems that the first emperor can figure out clearly, can he still stump me?

"This will not be solved, what's the struggle for this." Liu Bei said indifferently, simple and easy to understand math problems, easy to solve, what's the problem.

"I just feel that some of the middle-level bureaucrats are inappropriate." Chen Xi said quietly, "but it's just that. Anyway, it's also a way. That's it when the time comes."

Liu Bei didn’t care about it at all. He didn’t think there was any problem with doing this. Of course, it’s not a good thing to sell official Wangjue, but if he has a balance in his heart as a reference, he naturally knows Jiuyuan and these border counties in the cloud. What level is it?

"Big brother, did you also go to Niyang to investigate?" When Chen Xi came out of this house and looked around, the frame that was a few miles away in front of Chen Xi and his party was taken by Chen Xi and his party because they were resting at noon. After catching up, the other party greeted from a distance after seeing Chen Xi.

"Ah, yes, go see Niyang." Chen Xi said with a smile, "Brother, did you go there too? See you have brought a lot of goods."

"Go and see, I heard that there are some cheap fruit products over there." The middle-aged man who seemed to be rich said cheerfully, and didn't care about exposing his own intelligence. After all, this trip was only an investigation. What was the result? , No one knows.

"Go together, go together." Chen Xi ran out of the frame, then jumped off, and greeted the other side, "I also do some candied fruit business here, maybe my brother has also bought and sold the candied fruit produced by me. , What kind of preserved fruit my brother accepts."

"What the big brother does for preserved fruits, we are from Wudu, Liangzhou, and our surname is Li Mingjun. I didn't give it to this kind of word, and I didn't use it. I ran around and worked hard." Li Jun said boldly. , There is no sense of being inferior without words.

Then just when Chen Xi was about to say that he was making Changchu and persimmon cakes, Liu Bei got out of the car, glanced at Li Jun, and said hello to Li Jun, "Ah, Li Jun, long time no see, you unexpectedly Didn’t you say that you returned to Liangzhou to become an instructor when you started business?"

What is your little partner not only does not help you cover up, but also deliberately let you wear it, that is now, Liu Bei this person has no way to play private visits, because he himself does not know how many people he can know, and how many people there are. know him.

"Ah? Ah!" Li Jun was shocked, "Taiwei, why are you here?"

"Come out with the one next to you to relax." Liu Bei greeted Li Jun. He didn't have any special feelings about Li Jun knowing himself. People who know him are getting older, and the people he knows are getting older, by the way. Listening to the name Li Jun, you know that Liu Bei started it.

Without a word, how could it be possible to have such a beautiful name? Of course, it was Liu Bei because this is called Li Lao Er, that is called Li Lao San, and there are many Li Laosan, so if there is no way to distinguish between them, I give it to him. The group of guys named.

Of course, the people who can make Liu Bei name are some veterans with excellent records on the battlefield. Just like Li Jun in front of him, he is actually a disabled person. When fighting outside, his leg was broken, and his vitality became strong. Let him save his life.

"Chen Hou?" Li Jun's brain speed reached a hundred miles, and he quickly responded, and quickly replied. Chen Xi waved his hand bitterly, saying that he was indeed himself. There was no way to keep a low profile with Liu Bei. White dragon fish suit? What a joke, I was recognized on the spot.

What's more, Liu Bei has never concealed the fact that he can know the locals. As long as people come out, Liu Bei will say hello and will never turn a blind eye.

"Uh, but I do have a business with dried fruits. My persimmon cake and Chang Chu Gan bought old things." Chen Xi said very seriously. He is not joking, but really bought very well, especially Persimmon cake.

Comparing to things like Changchu, whose output this year is really unattainable, the output of persimmons is quite reliable in any era. In addition, the shelf life of persimmon cakes is very good, the icing content is very high, and it can even be sold to Rome. Therefore, persimmon processing is also a pretty good industry.

I have to mention here that the added value of the persimmon industry is actually not high. It belongs to the kind that is hung by coconuts. Because the process of the persimmon industry chain is too short, there are too few additions, and the historical research and development efforts are not very sufficient, leading to Chen Xi What can be copied is too little.

Just as the total value of the banana industry can reach hundreds of billions, coconuts can reach hundreds of billions, and persimmons are only a few tens of billions, but even so, you can still hang up the luxury of perfume, so Chen Xi still engages in persimmon related things. Industry, after all, this kind of simple and profitable work cannot be let go of course.

However, after two years, this business is estimated to be only internal, not external, because the Romans who ate persimmons in the past two years transplanted persimmon trees to Spain. It is estimated that after a few years, Rome will produce and sell itself. , After all, this thing really has no technical difficulty.

Even if there is, it is basically impossible to stop the study of a powerful empire like Rome.

When Li Jun heard the words, the corners of his mouth twitched, and in the end he didn't say anything. How many properties Chen Xi had in his name, let alone Li Jun, Liu Ye couldn't figure it out, but the other party said yes, then there must be.

"Can it be cheaper?" Li Jun suddenly became sober for a moment and asked a question.

"Ah, if you want cheap, I suggest you go to New South Wales to grow melons. The land there is cheap, the light is suitable, the quality of the melons is good, and the melon business is very good." Chen Xi was asked by Li Jun for a moment, and then said that God of Wealth would give you Pointing to a clear road, just the eastern road from NSW to Chang'an has been repaired. You go to plant melons. This melon is sweet. No matter whether it’s a cantaloupe or a watermelon, you will not lose money.

It used to be planted in a place with a suitable climate in the Western Regions, and it must have died, but now the roads that have been built since the time when Cao Cao was in charge of Yongzhou are completely connected to the eastern part of the Western Regions. It won’t take a few days to get ready with the horses.

With the shelf life of melons picked, let alone the shelf life, the shelf life has never passed. As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an has exploded consumption power. As long as it is transported, it will definitely be digested. This business is definitely profitable, because now The first melon-eater has not yet appeared.

In addition, all melons pay attention to climatic conditions. When the seeds are the same, the watermelon planted by Weiyang Palace may not grow beyond the area of ​​NSW under the rule of Simalang. It can be said that this is simply a Tianhu start, absolutely stable. For a profitable business, a proper God of Wealth will guide you.

"This?" Li Jun was a little dazed, "Even if this melon is cooked, it will cost a lot of money to ship to Chang'an. For such a long distance, no, no, the freight is too expensive."

This is the problem. In normal perception, the freight for this distance will be more expensive than the fruit itself, but how can I actually put it? The logistics industry, as the blood that runs through all core industries, is the foundation for revitalizing all regions.

Isn't Chen Xi dedicated to infrastructure construction just to wait for the logistics industry to develop and distribute materials from various places to various places at appropriate prices?

The logistics industry has developed to a frenzied level, and it may even appear as an operation that is price upside-down in normal logic.

For example, using coupons, discounts, and various messy activities to buy a set of kitchenware at a low price. The quality of the kitchenware itself is a normal and qualified product, but the cost is only ten yuan, and the store will give you from the south. Send it to the north, and finally to your hometown.

Not to mention, it is a question of whether the ten yuan you paid is enough to send things from the south to the north.

That’s all, there are even more frenzied ones. When the store is rushing, you can buy small items for a dollar and mail it to you home. If you think about it, let alone the things you buy, you don’t know the transportation price. Where did you go.

This is the place that is really frantic, but this kind of thing looks very normal in later generations. Northerners spend more than ten dollars to buy small items from the south and mail them to home, while southerners spend more than ten dollars to buy small items from the north. Mailing to home is usually so sparse that everyone is used to it.

But in fact, it is really necessary to calculate one by one, and the logistics cost alone is enough to make people crazy.

This is also the reason why Chen Xi sent something to Huangfu Song at the time, and at the end, he directly put together the order manually, because the logistics industry must be scaled to dilute the freight rate. Obviously, if NSW engages in agricultural products on a large scale, relying on the Western Region Channel , Can greatly reduce the freight rate.

After all, Jianyong has been engaged in logistics in the past few years. Order consolidation and resource integration are the key points. If Li Jun wants to take advantage of the wind and help Jianyong to prepare orders now, he will take a ride on a ride and take off. It is possible. As for getting rich or something, it is not impossible.

It’s just that it takes capital to get rich so much, and Li Jun’s capital, depending on his current situation, is not thin, but it is definitely not thick, so Chen Xi has come across the road, but it depends on Li Jun himself. Thoughts out.

"Let me ask one thing, what if I grow melons in the Jincheng area?" Li Jun thought about it and said with some embarrassment. When he arrived in New South Wales, he really didn't know what to do.

"Jincheng can't grow cantaloupe, you can only grow watermelon." Chen Xi said with a smile, and then Li Jun asked again, Chen Xi no longer answered, God of Fortune still had to be reserved.

Seeing that Chen Xi didn't say anything, and didn't have any extravagant expectations, Li Jun turned to find the jerky, preserved fruit, and canned food from the frame of the car. Now that he encountered it, he had to invite them to a meal.

"Come, come and taste, I don’t dare to take it out for someone else, but you two are different. Have a taste." Li Jun took a big spoon and took a big spoon out of a crock pot. The juicy apple meat and candied dates added a bowl to Chen Xi and Liu Bei. In this season, the apples and dates have not yet come down.
