Chapter 257 The blinding wonder building
Yang Ji, who is organizing the relocation of more than 300,000 people, does not know that Chen Xi and others have now planned the military restructuring, or that Zhang Fei came to him to discuss this matter I only found out when it happened.
"Did Zichuan and the others not consult with you when they were planning the military restructuring?" Zhang Fei stared at Yang Ji in disbelief.
What are Chen Xi and the others thinking? After all, Yang Ji is also the highest military officer under Liu Bei. He even hides such a major event as the military restructuring... What do they want?
"Let's go, third brother, go help you seek justice from your eldest brother!" Zhang Fei angrily pulled Yang Ji up and wanted to find Liu Bei to reason with him, not to bring such a bully.
"Okay, stop pretending, don't think I don't know what you want to do." Yang Ji slapped Zhang Fei's big hand away.
"Don't you just want to resist this restructuring and want to keep me company? I know what you are thinking." Yang Ji directly exposed Zhang Fei's little thoughts.
"..." Zhang Fei looked at Yang Ji silently. Why was Yang Ji so calm and had no intention of rejecting this restructuring?
"Ziyu, aren't you worried that your military power will be affected?" Zhang Fei asked his doubts.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It seems that my military power has been affected." Yang Ji said angrily.
After all, in Chen Xi's restructuring this time, the soldiers who need to be eliminated are those soldiers who are obviously unqualified in age. Does it have anything to do with the cool young men in their twenties and middle-aged uncles in their thirties at most in his own army?
Obviously, disarmament has nothing to do with him. If this is the case, then why does Yang Ji refuse this restructuring?
"Um, it seems...it really doesn't have any impact." Zhang Fei was immediately choked by Yang Ji's words.
What Yang Ji said just now is correct. Yang Ji is already the highest military officer under Liu Bei. Even if he expands the army, his military power seems to have come to an end.
"No, no, that's not what I want to say." Zhang Fei shook his head violently and realized that he had almost been deceived by Yang Ji.
"What I want to express is that when Zichuan and the others were planning the reorganization of the army, they did not consult with you, but made the decision themselves.
Not even a single general participated in the meeting. , This is not good." Zhang Fei shook his head and said.
Zhang Fei himself does not oppose the restructuring of the army. After all, even if he did, it would be of no use, because it was Chen Xi who proposed the restructuring.
Facing Chen Xi, Zhang Fei didn’t think he could defend himself.
As a military general, Zhang Fei definitely hopes that his legion will be stronger, and one of the manifestations of strength is the organization of the legion.
The reason Zhang Fei came to Yang Ji was because of the organization of the legion.
However, before Zhang Fei could express his thoughts, he heard a big surprise from Yang Ji:
Chen Xi did not even call Yang Ji together when planning the restructuring. discuss.
"What can we do even if there are military generals attending the meeting? Since it was Zichuan who proposed the plan, he must have already calculated what demands we will make, and even used it to silence us. I have already thought of the excuses.”
Yang Ji was not surprised that Chen Xi would propose a proposal to restructure the army, because Yang Ji already knew what Chen Xi was going to do.
"What's more, who knows whether what Zichuan calls disarmament is disarmament or expansion." Yang Ji added casually.
"What does this mean?" Zhang Fei was confused. What did Yang Ji mean? How come disarmament turned into expansion?
Yang Ji sighed, "Who knows which legions Zichuan is going to lay off? What if they are field soldiers, what if they are miscellaneous soldiers, what if they are... Anyway, it is possible.
Moreover, maybe after some reduction and selection, the total number of our troops will increase."
"Um..." Zhang Fei has been completely confused by Yang Ji, how can we still reduce the number of troops. Can the total number of troops be reduced and increased?
Can you teach me? I also want to learn something.
Zhang Fei pressed his forehead, but was still shaken by Yang Ji. What he wanted to know was about the formation of the legion, not the total number of troops.
Really.
Zhang Fei sighed. It seemed that he couldn't get the answer he wanted from Yang Ji. And indeed, as Yang Ji said, this restructuring would not affect Yang Ji's military power.
Because it is already the top, unless Yang Ji wants to go down, Yang Ji's position will probably not change for a long time.
Although Zhang Fei was surprised that Chen Xi did not find Yang Ji to discuss the matter during the restructuring, it was not incomprehensible.
After all, Chen Xi wants to restructure, can you still refuse?
What's more, do you believe that Chen Xi and Yang Ji have no tacit understanding in this regard? Zhang Fei didn’t believe it anyway.
The tacit understanding between the two people is not once or twice, but this time it is the turn of the military field that Yang Ji is in charge of.
"General Zhang, what did Yang Sicheng say?" Taishi Ci hurriedly asked Zhang Fei after seeing Zhang Fei come out. Huang Zhong next to him also looked at Zhang Fei.
Facing the inquiries from Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei shook his head, "Ziyu is not responsible for the military restructuring. If you want to know the specific situation, you still have to go back and ask Zichuan and the others who are specifically responsible. "
"Huh?" Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong were stunned for a moment. Isn't Yang Ji the general person in charge of their Taishan military? He is not the person in charge of the military restructuring. What is the situation?
"Okay, you go back first." Zhang Fei waved his hand, "My second brother, me, and Zilong will go and ask what the situation is."
After saying that, Zhang Fei left. He had to arrange military affairs and then return to Fenggao. Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and the others must have already set off to return to Fenggao.
Tai Shi Ci and Huang Zhong looked at each other, and finally Tai Shi Ci said: "Did General Zhang not mention Yang Sicheng just now?"
"Um, I guess you didn't mention it?" Huang Zhong said hesitantly. He was also a little unsure whether the 'they' in Zhang Fei's words included Yang Ji.
Yang Ji, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Hua Xiong are the oldest generals in Liu Bei's army, and they are also the biggest leaders in Liu Bei's army.
However, recently, Yu Jin seems to have a tendency to establish a new mountain, especially after Yang Ji and Chen Xi handed Yanzhou's hundreds of thousands of troops under his control.
Although, most of the soldiers in the hundreds of thousands of troops were quickly taken away by Zhao Yun and incorporated into the Yanzhou Tuntian Group Army.
——
After Liu Bei came back from Yanzhou, he was sent by Chen Xi to inspect the house that had just opened the rainproof cloth. Then Liu Bei clutched his heart, almost using the powerful vitality of the internal energy leaving the body.
Liu Bei pointed with trembling fingers at the courtyard in front of him. The gleaming walls and translucent windows could almost reflect his own floor...
Looking at these, they all showed luxury and luxury. During the decoration, Liu Bei felt his heart was broken. At the same time, he kept asking himself, can this really be built with one million dollars? Li Ru, who came with Liu Bei for acceptance, saw Liu Bei's actions and couldn't help shouting, "Xuan Degong, are you okay?"
Don't look at Li Ru's face at this time Calm, but his heart was already in turmoil. This was completely different from the material he had seen before!
If Li Ru hadn't seen with his own eyes what these things looked like when they were just taken out of the kiln, Li Ru would not have dared to associate the shiny golden things in front of him with the gray things that had just been taken out of the kiln. ah.
"It's okay," Liu Bei took a few breaths and waved his hand to Li Ru, saying that he was okay. He just had angina pectoris after seeing such an expensive building for the first time.
"Wen Ru, do you think one million dollars can build such a thing?" Liu Bei asked, covering his heart with a twitching face. No wonder Chen Xi had to cover it up before asking Sun Qian to build it.
"Maybe one million dollars can actually be used to build it." Li Ru said calmly, because Chen Xi really used one million dollars to build it.
However, with this golden look, no one would believe it if he said it was a million dollars, just like Liu Bei in front of him.
"Fart! If the merchants on the Exchange Street come to negotiate the price, they won't be able to negotiate without 500 million yuan." Liu Bei sneered, really thinking that he didn't go to the Exchange Street.
"This price was given by Zichuan." Li Ru moved Chen Xi out directly. After all, it was Chen Xi's fault, so let Chen Xi take the blame.
"..." Liu Bei was silent, this was actually the price given by Chen Xi.
"Okay, since it is the cost price given by Zichuan, it must be true." Liu Bei put down the hand that was covering his heart, turned around and walked towards the library.
"..." Li Ru blinked. Liu Bei's attitude has changed too much. Why do you believe the price given by Chen Xi? Although this is indeed the cost price given by Chen Xi.
Well, it is indeed the cost price, which is mainly the labor of the craftsmen.
As for the materials, they are just made of sand and clay. In essence, they can be made for free, as long as the craftsmen are paid.
From a distance, Liu Bei saw bright red glazed tiles shining in the sun in the distance. Although these glazed tiles were called fake and shoddy products by Chen Xi, they were almost destroyed on the spot.
However, in front of people like Liu Bei who have never seen the world, this kind of thing is still too high-end.
After Liu Bei put down the glazed tile that was blinded by the flash, he finally came to the library and saw the glass inlaid on the door.
Although this piece of glass is uneven and contains many impurities, it even emits a colorful halo in the sunlight.
If Chen Xi and Yang Ji were to evaluate the glass in front of them, they would definitely smash it first and then evaluate it.
But for now, let these inferior products enjoy people's eager eyes. It won't be long anyway.
"Xuande, you are here too." Sharp-eyed Lu Zhi immediately spotted Liu Bei coming this way, and then greeted Liu Bei in front of Huangfu Song and all the great scholars.
"I've seen the teacher." After discovering that his teacher was also there, Liu Bei immediately squeezed over here. It was really crowded.
After hurriedly greeting Huangfu Song and other great scholars, Liu Bei asked Lu Zhi: "Why are you free to come here today, teacher?"
Although Liu Bei himself had some guesses as to why Lu Zhi appeared here, But after all, Liu Bei is not the kind of person who understands people's hearts, so he still has to ask what should be asked.
Moreover, if it were an ordinary matter, Lu Zhi would not be allowed to put down his research and come to watch the completion of the library.
“It’s not like that guy Chen Zichuan made too much noise.” Lu Zhi pursed his lips towards the library. Lu Zhi was also very curious about this spectacle.
"Alas, I didn't know that the library pavilion that Zichuan was going to build would look like this." Liu Bei said with a bitter smile.
If he had known that the library pavilion that Chen Xi was going to build would be of the current style, he would never have agreed to Chen Xi building it like this.
It’s so dazzling.
Look, even the glass inlaid on the door will glow with color under the sunlight, not to mention the red glazed tiles that can be seen from a distance.
“Forget it, now is the time for you young people, we old guys won’t comment so much.” Lu Zhi shook his head and said.
That being said, if the people under Fenggao and even Liu Bei's rule were not living a better life than they did back then, Lu Zhi would definitely go to the Fenggao Government Affairs Office to talk to Chen Xi.
"Um, Xuande, can I ask, how much does this building cost?" Huangfu Song suddenly asked Liu Bei after he recovered from his fugue.
“According to Chen Zichuan, the price of these materials is even cheaper than the wages of craftsmen.” Li Ru stepped forward and said.
What Chen Xi wants is to make Liu Bei feel like "this thing should only exist in the sky" when he sees these marvelous buildings. How could he let Liu Bei know the cost price in advance.
Huangfu Song's eyes flashed, "Since it was said by Chen Zichuan, it should be credible."
After all, he had experienced Chen Xi's arrogance.
"Xuande, when will the library be opened?" Lu Zhi asked Liu Bei. He wanted to see how many books were collected in the library of this size.
"I don't know about this. These things are usually arranged by Zichuan, but since Zichuan has opened the curtain, the opening time should be very soon." Liu Bei shook his head. said.
Liu Bei thought about it and decided that it would be better to go in and take a look. After all, he had already seen the outside, so he had to take a look inside as well.
Liu Bei glanced at the commander blocking the door and took out his seal ribbon from his pocket, "Zhang Yi, come find someone who can make the decision. I want to go in and have a look."
"Promise!" Zhang Yi took Liu Bei's seal ribbon with a serious look on his face, and after asking his soldiers to watch the gate, he went to personally find Hua Xiong, the general who was guarding the place.
Soon, Zhang Yi brought Hua Xiong over, "I have met my lord!" Hua Xiong saluted Liu Bei.
"I have seen General Huangfu, Lu Zhonglang, Cai Zhonglang, all the great scholars!" Then Hua Xiong saluted the circle of great scholars behind Liu Bei.
Seeing that it was Hua Xiong, Liu Bei said directly without writing: "Open the door, I want to see what Zichuan has built the library."
