God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

People are always the most valuable resource of this era. Especially after the infrastructure construction, Xu You recognizes this point even more.

There are only a few hundred thousand people in their territory, and various construction and expansion projects are already on the right track and are thriving.

From this perspective, Xu You could better understand Chen Xi's terror.

After all, he had played with hundreds of thousands of people, but he was already somewhat clumsy and helpless, unable to continue expanding.

As a result, the manpower that Chen Xi had for construction and development was basically no less than one million. This was a very terrifying number, especially since this number was not even the opponent's upper limit, which was even more terrifying.

Even a wise man like him could understand this. These were barbarians who followed their biological instincts, and they really couldn't be any better.

However, compared with the Han people who worked hard and forgot to eat and sleep as soon as they got started, the barbarians in this area did have a considerable gap in quality and work experience in many aspects.

At least the initial training and instruction, as well as solving the language communication problem between each other, made Xu You understand his headache.

So when Xu You saw Ju Yi bringing another large group of barbarians, his expression could be said to be very complicated.

Huge human resources can indeed accomplish many tasks, but these barbarians who still need preliminary training to complete all of this have to pay heavy initial costs before they even start working. This is indeed a heavy pressure for Xu You, who wants to spend every penny wisely.

"I'm back again. I wonder what the result will be this time?" Ju Shou was not in charge of the relevant internal affairs, so he didn't have that many worries.

The outcome of the war is what Ju Su cares most about, nothing else matters.

Only with sufficiently strong military force can we intimidate the surrounding barbarians, and this is the sufficient source of stability.

The prerequisite for implementing everything is to have strong military force to protect yourself, so that you can build a rich and powerful base when surrounded by enemies.

"Hello, sir..." Ju Yi, who had returned normally from the real battlefield, politely greeted Ju Shou and others.

This kind of behavior can be said to be very normal for other people, but it is completely different for Ju Yi.

However, after happening many times, even Xu You gradually got used to such greetings.

"General, how many prisoners have you captured? Why does it seem like there is no end in sight..." Xu You, who was already used to it, directly asked the question that he wanted to ask in his heart.

"From south to north, there are only more than 30,000 people. For the sake of our lord's cause, it is not a problem at all..." When Ju Yi talked about Yuan Shao, a smile appeared on his face.

There is still something creepy about this rigid soldier's face.

However, Xu You had already gotten used to it and would not feel any dissatisfaction about it.

"30,000 people? That's a lot of people, but you should hold back a bit..." Xu You looked at Ju Yi, who was directing his men to prepare to hand over the prisoners and then lead the troops to continue the expedition. He hesitated for a moment, but then he slowly started to explain. The number of their main ethnic group was too small. If it really came to this, it would not be a good thing to continue to increase the barbarian population.

It's not just the living habits and local customs that are different. In this kind of mutual communication and contact, if the number of Han people is far smaller than that of the barbarians, even if a large part of the barbarians can be controlled through the system and patriotic education, the final essence cannot be changed.

If we trace back to the source, the country they wanted to establish was a Han Empire with Han people as the main body, rather than a barbaric country with barbarians as the main body.

The former can even get the qualification to be on equal footing with the Han Empire, while the latter can only be a local foreign country. If he is in a good mood, he is a prince, and if he is in a bad mood, he is just a whetstone.

Xu You himself is not stupid, so how could he allow such a thing to happen?

Therefore, when it comes to withdrawing from the Han people, Xu You has always been the most active and diligent person, and he paid a huge price for it.

However, in Xu You's view, this loss of wealth in a short period of time was reasonable and very normal.

If everyone goes abroad to expand territory in the future, the local population of the Han Empire will drop sharply. In that case, Chen Xi absolutely does not want to see a large number of Han people being withdrawn.

Therefore, time is the most precious thing. As long as there is enough time, they can transport more things and materials from the country to their current location little by little.

"Conserve?!" Ju Yi looked at Xu You in confusion, thought for a moment, and then answered seriously, "Although these prisoners are not very strong, they still have basic physical fitness, so it's perfect to use them as labor."

Being defeated by others with logistics, Ju Yi would naturally think of ways to improve and work hard on this aspect.

But as for the results, it doesn't seem to be very friendly.

"There is still a lot of work to be done in the early stages. We can even rely on the copper coins obtained from plunder to further expand the corresponding personnel, so as to decentralize power. Then the people below will have the ability and dare to do things..." Xu You pointed to the flags in the military camp, gestured to the flags of the surrounding legions, and the corresponding people, explaining the differences.

"We are not on the same path. Maybe you are right, and maybe I am right too..." Ju Yi laughed up to the sky, revealing a certain sincerity in his laughter. He said not seriously, "If I had known this earlier, why would I have waited until now?"

"Yes, unfortunately there is no such thing as regret in this world. Once you make a choice, you can only bear the consequences of failed choice. Moreover, judging from the current results, I don't regret it..." As if infected by this voice, Xu You also said gently, something special.

When they left the Central Plains, they carried quite a few things with them. However, when they really arrived at this place, the supplies that they could actually use were extremely rare.

In particular, the advancement of some laws by Chen Xi has suppressed their suggestions to a large extent.

It is difficult to resist, whether it is for them or for others.

After expressing their feelings, Xu You and Ju Yi smiled at each other, as if they were old friends. Their understanding of each other was full of speed.

Not only that, Ju Yi also gestured to the people in the distance with his hand, and then said happily, "As long as we hide deep enough, the Roman Empire will not know it is us..."
