The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 209 The important responsibility for Chen Yuanda

Chen Yuanda naturally didn't know the attitude of the head of the Lu family, but from the confidence in Liu Tai's tone, he could understand that the Grand Canal was not just Liu Tai's whim, but a cooperation between Liu Tai and these Youzhou and Jizhou families. .

If the Grand Canal is built smoothly, it means that these aristocratic families in Youzhou and Jizhou are completely tied to Liu Tai's ships.

To be honest, a political system that is not politically influenced by aristocratic families, but is able to unite local aristocratic families in the process of governance, such a terrifying thing will be born in front of his eyes. Chen Yuanda feels that this world is too magical.

Liu Tai, you don't want to separate the regime, you really want to rebel!
Should you go back and report to Liu Cong yourself?But so what if he reported it, could he still force Liu Cong to come over and attack him?

After all, Liu Tai united the family to dig the canal, and even the people below did not object, so what reason did he have to attack Liu Tai.

The most important thing is, even if we are to attack Liu Tai, who can we use as a general to defeat Liu Tai reliably? ?

Therefore, the best choice is that as long as Liu Tai doesn't really want to rebel, just pretend he didn't see it.

If you force the other party and the other party really rebels, then you will become a sinner of the Huns and Han Kingdom.

When Chen Yuanda thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Liu Cong, who was so arrogant when he was normal and went on a killing spree when he was insane.

Chen Yuanda could feel that fewer and fewer people in the Xiongnu and Han court dared to tell the truth to Liu Cong. If this continued, Chen Yuanda would not know how he should curb the flourishing Liu Tai.

When Chen Yuanda thought of this, his eyes turned slightly red. He felt that he was sorry for the deceased Emperor Guangwen!
I feel that I am really incompetent and that I can only deceive myself and others by covering up!

Liu Tai looked at Chen Yuanda's posture with some doubts in his eyes. Why was he so excited?

But now that Chen Yuanda is back, it is natural for Liu Tai to let him start working.

if not?Do you think Qingzhou governor doesn’t want Jiujiu?

Pooh!Without your Zero Zero Seven, who will realize the great rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty? Work, work!
Liu Tai looked at Chen Yuanda and said, "Changhong, since you are back, there is something that needs to be done by you!"

When Chen Yuanda heard Liu Tai's words, he saluted Liu Tai and said, "Please give me the Duke's instructions!"

Liu Tai nodded, and then said, "You also know that we defeated Wang Jun and conquered Jizhou and Youzhou. In order to encourage contact between the two sides, we encouraged every coastal county to build a dock to stimulate business. contacts."

Chen Yuanda heard Liu Tai's words and nodded to Liu Tai. Chen Yuanda already knew this.

Liu Tai continued: "First of all, the Bohai Commercial Road is a new thing, and neither the aristocratic family nor the common people have ever experienced it.

Therefore, I will adjust the regulations of the trade route at any time, and I also need you to formulate laws that comply with the shipping laws of this trade route.

It is necessary to ensure the regulation of transactions in this business channel, and to ensure the normal transaction order of the business channel. "

Chen Yuanda was a little surprised when he heard Liu Tai's words, because he didn't expect Liu Tai to entrust this matter to him.

Although Chen Yuanda didn't know exactly what Liu Tai's plan was, Chen Yuanda knew very well that at least in Liu Tai's future plan, the Grand Canal was definitely the key.

The Grand Canal is connected to the Bohai Bay. He can entrust this matter to himself. No matter how he looks at it, he can see that he values ​​himself.

When Chen Yuanda thought of this, he looked at Liu Tai curiously and said, "The Duke plans to leave this matter to me!?"

"Exactly!" Liu Tai said matter-of-factly in the face of Chen Yuanda's doubts, "You are also the legal advisor of Qingzhou, and you know the laws of the world better. If we don't leave this matter that requires formulating laws to you, how can we leave it to anyone else?" person?"

Chen Yuanda hurriedly saluted Liu Tai and said with emotion: "Thank you for your trust, Duke, Da will write this law completely without paying anything to the Duke!"

Liu Tai nodded when he heard Chen Yuanda's words, saying that he was optimistic about you.

To be honest, Liu Tai didn't care whether Chen Yuanda was loyal to him or not. Chen Yuanda was not a Han, but a Huns. Could it be that he still had Liu Kun's charm and could brainwash Xianbei into being almost obedient?
Therefore, as long as Chen Yuanda is still under his command and he is still capable, then he is willing to reuse him to death.

Nine-nine-six is ​​not enough, and zero-zero-seven is not much. After all, such talents will die from overwork, and it will be very troublesome for them to rebel in the future.

Although as long as Liu Cong doesn't force himself, he will continue to wait for the conflict between the Xiongnu and the Han faction to explode within the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom.

Before that, even if he was really ready to rebel at any time.

But if there is a choice, I still want to be a good person, it just depends on whether the other party will give me this opportunity.

So now that the decision has been made, instead of being suspicious and thinking about things, it is better to rely more on Chen Yuanda.

Let his shoulders bear more things, and he will not have to think about things when he works more.

After all, political work is not like working for others. Basically, as long as you are serious and work hard, it will be hard no matter what you do.

But as long as you choose to lie down and feel that you have the power to run rampant in the countryside, then it will be very comfortable.

But now in troubled times, it is very dangerous if you want to hold power but fail to achieve anything.

As for Chen Yuanda himself, now that he sees Liu Tai being positive and Liu Cong deteriorating every day, he feels that he should continue working and stop thinking so much.

What if the more you do, the more conflicts arise between the two parties?

Chen Yuanda took over the task from Liu Tai, but Liu Tai also made his thoughts on shipping clear to Chen Yuanda.

That is the container system.

Modern logistics, especially the shipping industry, can be so developed, and container technology can be said to be revolutionary.

If it is land transportation, container transportation actually does not show any advantages. The most important issue is the charging standard.

Regardless of whether they are collected according to weight or other standards, the container itself is a very redundant facility.

But when it becomes long-distance shipping, it is completely different. Because of the long distance and large throughput, shipping often involves various bulk cargoes. A box of cargo can contain silk, pottery, fruit, and even tea. .

It would be very troublesome to carry these things up and down, whether for tax inspection or to prevent theft.

After all, there are a lot of coolies working at the dock. Suddenly a thief sneaks in. This is something no one knows about.

Even if the bulk cargo is really unloaded, usually after all the work is done, a good business traveler will choose to take out a box of thirst-quenching goods such as oranges and share the favor with the coolies who are handling it. These are actually considered cost.

In the days before containers, the cost of unloading was very high. A person who could afford a ship was definitely not an ordinary person.But with unified containers, all these bulk goods can be put into one container, and many intangible costs will be directly reduced.

Even if the officials go to collect taxes, they will at most check whether there are any contraband in your container.

As for how much tax to collect, just charge it according to the unified container.

If you can't fill the container, that's your problem, not the government's.

Make various governance standards as simple as possible so that everyone can understand them, so that tax collection will be clear.

However, the historical development is that steam engines came first and containers came later, so some hidden conditions did not appear.

But now, if you want to get a container first, you must consider the need to produce a special container vehicle, how many horses can pull the vehicle, and what kind of roads can properly transfer these containers.

But this can be tried after all, and the advantages of the container system cannot be concealed at all.

The most important advantage of containers is that the unloading location is moved from the terminal to other locations, which reduces the parking time of cargo ships at the terminal and enhances the operating efficiency of the terminal.

Not only the terminals, but also transportation costs, large management costs, warehousing costs, and even the unexpected costs of the goods themselves have been greatly reduced in almost every part of the logistics chain.

Therefore, if you want to develop the Bohai Sea circle and improve the economic benefits, you must point out the container technology, which seems simple but is actually very important.

However, due to differences in productivity, I have no way of determining what the most suitable container specifications are for this era.

That would require Chen Yuanda to try it slowly, and even Jie Fei to be Chen Yuanda's helper and study various equipment for unloading.

Therefore, after Chen Yuanda left, Liu Tai immediately approached Jie Fei, but when Jie Fei saw Liu Tai, he immediately said to Liu Tai with a face full of joy: "This is to inform the Duke, the Duke asked our craftsmen to analyze Wang Jun The Thunderbolt car has been successfully copied.

Next, we are conducting a detailed analysis of each accessory of the Pili car to see if each part can be standardized! "

"Very good!" Liu Tai nodded in approval after hearing Jie Fei's words,
"After analyzing the Thunderbolt Vehicle, you go to Su Jun to see if the Thunderbolt Vehicle can be installed on the next-generation ship. After installation, what impact will this have on the ship itself.

A detailed report is compiled on the load, weight, and even the tilt of the ship.

If you can still study it, then let's see if the Pili Cart that was dismantled from the ship can be modified to run on the ground by adding a few wheels. All in all, just give it a try.

As for money, it's not a problem, letting your talents fully develop is the most important thing! "

"Thank you, Duke!" Jie Fei couldn't help but feel extremely moved when he heard Liu Tai's words.

The most important thing for a craftsman to be so valued by Liu Tai is that Liu Tai is very willing to give him money and food to try various experiments. Even if he is a craftsman, he will more or less unconsciously produce some confidants. Really aware of this!
"By the way, I came to you for two things. One is how the research on the steel filling method is going. Our demand for armor replacement fish scale armor has increased recently!" Liu Tai said seriously to Jie Fei.

"Mr. Ge is amazingly talented. He already has a direction by referring to many classics such as "The Inscription of the Sword" and "The Seven Lives".

According to Mr. Ge's own statement, around autumn, the first batch of steel forged by the steel filling method should be successfully forged. "

Jie Fei quickly replied to Liu Tai.

To be honest, Jie Fei still admires Ge Hong very much, especially he is a bit shocked.

Because Jie Fei plays with machinery, it is more of a structural change.

But Ge Hong has always been playing with chemistry, and various materials are constantly transformed under Ge Hong's control. In Jie Fei's view, what is the difference between this and creating things out of thin air.

Therefore, the more I work with Ge Hong, the more I feel ashamed of my words and deeds.

Moreover, although Ge Hong was interested in the golden elixir produced by Liu Tai's paintings, Ge Hong was more interested in studying various classics and analyzing medical knowledge. As for the golden elixir, it was just a by-product of Ge Hong's cultivation of immortality.

Liu Tai said to Jie Fei, "When the steel filling method is successfully forged, I will give you a county man and three hundred households in the city."

"Thank you, Duke!" Jie Fei was very excited when he heard Liu Tai's words. When he got a fief, he would be considered to have a title.

Liu Tai waved his hand and said, "In addition, I need you to allocate some of your manpower to Chen Yuanda.

Next, we need to establish a container system and test the most suitable container size.

It needs to be able to be pulled by a horse-drawn carriage, easy to lift, load and unload, and can be transported by ship.

These require a little bit of polishing, but it is a delicate job and is quite troublesome to operate. "

"My subordinate understands!" Jie Fei heard Liu Tai's words and said firmly, "My subordinate will definitely handle it!"

Jie Fei knew very well that as long as he got involved with the ship, this matter would not be a trivial matter to Liu Tai.

Because Liu Tai didn't know why he was so obsessed with shipping, Jie Fei understood it very well.

Seeing Fei's answer, Liu Tai nodded with satisfaction, then waved to Jie Fei and said nothing more.

Of course, in addition to the development of the Bohai Bay, the land equalization system and the government army system were then promoted in Jizhou and Youzhou, allowing this system to penetrate deeper into the rural areas of these areas.

After all, although Bohai trade is the focus of his development, Liu Tai has not forgotten that agriculture is his foundation.

Especially in this era, letting the common people have food to eat and allowing the soldiers to obtain land is our basic position.

After he defeated Wang Jun, these policies began to be implemented bit by bit in Jizhou and Youzhou. However, if he wanted to implement these policies, he needed military history and veterans. He really wanted to make these two states what he wanted. I'm afraid it still needs time to settle.

Therefore, Liu Tai now knows very well that he needs the most time to consume Wang Jun's territory.

This is not just a matter of replacing the governor, but requires the army to clean up the military troubles, officials to reform the administration of the two places, and encourage the people to cultivate fields, so that the people have a sense of belonging to themselves, and even start to sign up to become government soldiers, and even become combat soldiers. .

This is also the reason why Liu Tai chose to recuperate in the next season.

Of course, Liu Tai chose to recuperate and slowly digest the results, while Liu Kun chose to take the initiative to digest Wang Jun's legacy.

At least when Wen Qiao brought Liu Tai's words to him, just as Wen Qiao expected, Liu Kun chose to continue to cooperate with Liu Tai because he really needed Liu Tai's armor!
