Chapter 4260: based on reality

Chen Xi nodded to Guo Kai when he heard the words. Indeed, he gave up a lot of things, gave up a lot of personal desires, and dealt with many things as fairly and justly as possible. Isn't the reason also because it's worth it?

Compared with those external things, the kind of pursuit that comes from the soul can drive people forward.

"The results are still very rich." Lu Su flipped through the official documents, and handed Guo Kai an official document reported by a certain Northland. This kind of thing can't be read by ordinary people, but Lu Su just passed it to Guo Kai, " Take a look, it's your fault."

Guo Kai was a little overwhelmed, but in the end he accepted the official document, which was about the test of the meat transportation time and transshipment efficiency of the Northland Ranch. This test looked funny, but it was related to what the northern people could What kind of price can you eat meat, and to what extent can the overall level of materials that can be shared reach.

Therefore, after the current stage is completed, testing is something that has to be done.

In the end, the test report based on the Bingzhou logistics and transportation network was sent to Lu Su's desktop with a very detailed data template. How to put it, it did not meet the level required by Chen Xi, but it was already within the acceptable range for others.

"Is it already possible to carry out meat transshipment relying on supporting facilities?" Guo Kai looked at the data in surprise. Although he was not good at this before, he has always used these mathematical calculation tools in the past two years. As time passed, I got to know a lot.

"Look, you've underestimated yourself." Lu Su said with a smile, "Yes, it's ok, although Zi Chuan's requirements have not been met, but Zi Chuan's requirements are not normally considered by us. , which is very good now.”

In the past, it took too long to transfer and distribute to villages, and it was easy to rot in spring, summer and autumn. In fact, if it is purely transported by road, according to the current level of the Han Dynasty, it can be transported with ice cubes in the cellar. to everywhere.

However, due to the scattered distribution of counties and counties, it is basically impossible to form an effective transportation network. As a result, meat will inevitably rot due to high temperature during the process of transshipment.

At that time, the Han Dynasty also considered the issue of ice cellar storage, but if they were built in various villages, on the one hand, it would be unrealistic, and on the other hand, the cost would be too high.

Although there have been ice cellars in China since the Zhou Dynasty, the manufacturing cost of this thing is too high. An ice cellar that can maintain ice for a year is so expensive that even Chen Xi finds it unbearable. When merging the village, Chen Xi gave up the ice cellar after thinking twice.

Giving an entire ice cellar to a village, among other things, the cost alone is enough to make Chen Xi's head big. Even if Liu Yan finds a professional to reduce the cost of thermal insulation technology as much as possible, it is still unaffordable. Of.

Of course, it's not that Chen Xi hasn't thought about building an ice cellar in several villages, but where to build it and how to use it effectively are all problems, so he can only give up in the end.

After Guo Kai was born and possessed the ability to optimize the layout of points, during the construction of the logistics park, Chen Xi realized that an ice cellar could be built inside the logistics park.

Because this point is the optimal solution, it means that this point is definitely the shortest distance to reach the nearby villages, and it actually fully meets Chen Xi's requirement back then.

More importantly, the basic idea of ​​building something like an ice cellar is the same as that of a steel furnace. If it is too small, the unit cost is too high. When it gets bigger, you can go up to the cooling etching developed by Zhou Yu.

It’s just that when you didn’t have Guo Kai before, you built it too big, as an icehouse shared by several surrounding villages, but you couldn’t determine where to put it is the best solution, especially in a place with hills, mountains, and mountains. Where the river is, it's just to die for.

Guo Kai's spiritual talent solved this problem, and the ice cellar was established. After the ice cellar was established, meat transportation would no longer be a problem.

As for the problem of ice cubes in the ice cellar, that is not something Chen Xi needs to consider. Whether it is adding a few items to the military service, or taking turns to contribute, etc., the problem can be solved. After all, only when there are ice cubes in the ice cellar can there be cheap meat to eat , this is very realistic.

Therefore, after trying to build an ice cellar and clearly telling the benefits of building an ice cellar, at the end of last year, the locals either cut ice blocks from the local river and transported them to the ice cellar, or poured ice blocks in wooden barrels and sent them to the ice cellar.

After all, in the north this year, after winter, the temperature is still very low. Under the leadership of the local village chief, the ice cellar was quickly filled.

However, some disharmonious things happened in the middle. For example, five villages share an ice cellar. This village cuts more ice cubes, while the other village cuts less ice cubes. There will be conflicts when the time comes.

Of course, this is not because some villages are lazy, but those who can stuff more ice into the ice cellar are trying to stuff as much ice into the ice cellar as possible. Ice cubes are very expensive these days, and every piece of ice cubes stored in summer is expensive. It is worth a lot of money.

Coupled with the technology of making ice with ice, a big bowl of new ice made from winter old ice in summer is worth one or two pennies, and the Han Dynasty’s five baht is worth nothing. Purchasing power is very stable.

Therefore, after learning that they can store ice in the ice cellar, even if each piece of ice, the logistics park will charge a 30% management fee, the local people also think that there is nothing to do in winter, so they pack buckets of water and make several wooden boxes outdoors. One day is just a few pieces of ice, dragged to the ice cellar, and the next year is making ice with the attitude of money, which is equivalent to picking up money for nothing.

After all, in the era of the Han Dynasty without air conditioning, cooling in summer was a big problem, so things like ice cubes were extremely precious in summer. Even if they were not processed, selling old ice directly could fetch a lot of money, and there would always be people in need.

After all, a large ice cellar can only store two to three thousand cubic meters of ice, and if this amount of ice is really used to cool down in summer, it may be enough for one or two large households.

Therefore, after the opening of the ice cellar in the logistics park, the ice cellar was full within a few days of winter, that is, on the day when the ice could be made according to the weather.

There is no way, no matter what the era, there are always people rushing to do business that can make money.

As for the sale of ice in summer, it has already happened this year, and the ice that can be sold in Bingzhou Ice Cellar has been sold out, leaving only the 30% reserved by the logistics park for management fees.

Although from time to time someone would come to ask if they would sell it or not, but Jian Yong was very clear about what he was doing, so naturally he would not sell the remaining ice cubes at will. These ice cubes are the basis for ensuring the freshness of meat, so it will be sold , Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

Because of this clear bottom line, after the completion of the logistics park this year, all counties in Bingzhou have basically ensured that meat can be delivered to various places in a safe manner. This can be said to be a great improvement.

"Seeing these achievements, I am more confident to continue working on it." The pride in Guo Kai's smile is hardly concealed.

"Now we have just made Bingzhou, and Jizhou is the next big one. Bingzhou has a large area and few people. Considering it, there is a lot of room for turnover. Jizhou only made a framework at that time, and experienced another turmoil in the officialdom. Handle it well." Chen Xi Said to Guo Kai with a smile.

"Actually, Jizhou's words..." Guo Kai said with some hesitation, he didn't know whether he should say this, after all, what he really wanted to say was somewhat over the line.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. You are an adjutant of the First Division anyway, and you are qualified to give opinions on this kind of matter." Chen Xi said to Guo Kai, and he also wanted to hear what Guo Kai wanted to say.

"Actually, the situation in Jizhou, if we really want to talk about the laying of logistics, it is actually better to adjust the location of certain cities." Guo Kai thought for a while, but he still didn't hide it. After all, he went there when he followed Jian Yong in the first year Jizhou, so I know the problems in Jizhou.

After Guo Kai said this, Lu Su was the first to smile, and then Chen Xi shook his head, "Actually, if it's purely from the standpoint of convenient transportation, what you said is correct, but it's unfortunate. This place in Jizhou Ah, many cities cannot be moved."

"That's it." Guo Kai nodded and didn't say anything else. He really considered the problem from the standpoint of transportation and logistics.

"Some things are already there, and we can't get around them. We can only obtain the best result under the current situation based on the current reality." Chen Xi said helplessly.

Just like combining villages and villages, Chen Xi also knows that the number of roads he used to combine villages and villages is not the best solution at the level of the country today.

It is true that combining villages and villages is the most correct solution anyway, and it is also the basis of all Chen Xi's current governance methods.

Without a large village with more than 1,000 people, or even 2,000 people, Chen Xi would not be able to build many supporting facilities. Without these supporting facilities, it would be difficult for Chen Xi to manage the world, and it would be even more impossible for Chen Xi to penetrate the local government. .

To put it too far, Liu Bei was able to know people in every village. The important point is that the current villages were forcibly merged together by Chen Xi. Only after they became large villages did they have the basis to support a complete militia team.

Change to the previous situation of a dozen households, dozens of households and a village, and the captain of the militia leads a small militia team? Also supply and marketing cooperatives? It is also nonsense to popularize education.

Assuming the situation of a village with more than a dozen households, two more people to eat would be enough to kill in this era when supplies are not abundant, not to mention supporting militia teams that can hunt wild beasts, supplying schools, communicating internally and externally, passing information, and building other new industries, etc.

All of this needs enough manpower to start. If you don’t gather villages and villages, Chen Xi can’t do anything. At least it’s impossible to extend the tentacles of the country’s government to the village level. Without this, Even if the aristocratic family is pulled out, it will not solve any problems.

The current system of the Han Dynasty, which is said to be the Sangong Jiuqing, has actually mixed many different things, and the division of classes has gradually become clear. It is a comprehensive system for the common people and another system for the aristocratic families. The systems are interspersed with each other, but they are not contradictory.

But the foundations of these systems are all built on the villages and villages. Without this, the others are all castles in the air. With this, the others have the basis for operation.

But really, is Chen Xi's Jicun Bingzhai perfect?

Chen Xi didn't believe it. He could see that when the villages were merged, the location for the new villages was not the best location, let alone some villages. On the basis of the current overall consideration Next, the position is even a bit cheating.

But can Chen Xi make adjustments one by one? It's completely impossible. He can only make mistakes, unless the location of some villages is really cheating and they will make adjustments. Let's just leave it at that.

"It's impossible to adjust one by one, unless there is a major problem with the layout." Li You also explained to Guo Kai, "And this kind of major problem has to be solved, and it will be beneficial to the sky. Make adjustments, otherwise you can only make do with it.”

Migration is impossible. Chen Xi can no longer move Linzi city for several miles like when he was in Mount Tai.

At that time, a large part of the reason why Fazheng was able to do that was that Fazheng was strong enough, and the local bureaucrats could be controlled by people in the local area. If they didn't move, they fell down.

As for Fa Xiaozhi's level of civil servants, to be honest, even in the heyday of the Han Dynasty, there were not many. Don't look at this guy's escape, he is really old.

Guo Kai nodded half-understood. He has never experienced political struggles and has always been just working. Other things will naturally be handled for him. He has never considered how much impact the urban relocation will have on the local area, and how How many benefits vary.

"However, in terms of Jizhou, I know that there is a city that will definitely be moved." Chen Xi said with a smile, while Li You nodded expressionlessly when he heard that Yuanshi City would definitely be moved.

"Shengzhi, after you arrive in Jizhou, remember to go to Changshan County and have a good discussion with Gu Taishou. Although he has already selected the position, after the new county government is selected, other county governments may also need to be adjusted. By then You can help him adjust to the best." Chen Xi urged Guo Kai.

After Gu Xi got the money from Li You, in addition to building roads, the rest was to move the city. The goal was basically determined to move to the side of the Hutuo River. The location of Shijiazhuang in later generations will connect the roads of Bingzhou and Youzhou and become the northern logistics. Distribution center.

The plan was well done and the money was received, but no construction has started yet.

If it were someone else, Li You and Liu Ye would definitely send people to investigate what was going on, whether the money was lost or something went wrong with the design, but since the prefect of Changshan was Gu Xi, the moral level of that person was too outrageous, and the two of them I didn't even see it.

I figured that Gu Xi had the money and the destiny to do his best, but he couldn't find the best layout, so he could only wait for Jian Yong to go there again.
