Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 129 Innate Government Sacred Body
  While Li Ji was feigning illness and recuperating, he not only completed the Wu County water conservancy planning plan, but also reviewed the entire Wu County's next development plan from beginning to end.

It's just that Liu Bei did not allow Li Ji to go to the government office to order Mao, nor did he allow Li Ji to handle government affairs.

Therefore, Li Ji could only sort out all the plans involving all aspects of Wu County bit by bit, and take advantage of this moment to hold a small meeting with Liu Bei to try out ideas.

This conversation unknowingly turned to curfew time. Both parties still did not feel tired, but were in a state of high spirits.

Wu County seems to be changing little by little under the governance, and seems to be moving toward a better future little by little. Everything is a promising future, which undoubtedly makes Liu Bei and Li Ji feel quite excited.

It’s a new year for Wu Jun.

For Liu Bei and Li Ji, a pair of ministers who know each other and share the same heart, this will be a brand new year.

Previously, Li Ji had always felt that the description of "long conversations" was a bit exaggerated, but when he and Liu Bei completely calmed down to communicate with each other and look forward to Wu Jun's future direction, time really passed by unknowingly.

After both parties felt quite sleepy, Liu Bei and Li Ji did not return to the mansion separately, but simply found a side room in the mansion to sleep.

at the same time.

Zhang Fei, who was waiting in Li Ji's mansion, scratched his messy beard a little irritably, feeling that something was not quite right.

"Why hasn't Mr. Zikun returned to the mansion yet?"

Zhang Fei stared and kept waiting.

He kept staring until he fell asleep unconsciously.

The next day.

Li Ji got up in the government office. After washing briefly and tidying up his appearance, he unhurriedly entered the main hall of the government office and nodded.

But when Li Ji walked into the main hall, he found that the atmosphere in the main hall seemed a little strange.

Small stoves were lit everywhere in the main hall, driving away the cold and humid winter air in Wu and bringing a certain amount of warmth to the main hall.

Jia Xu was leisurely sipping hot tea, looking at the mountains of bamboo slips and documents in front of him as if they were nothing. He even seemed not to notice the wide-eyed Zhang Fei sitting opposite him at all.

In addition, Gu Yong, who was huddled in a slightly inconspicuous corner of the main hall, sat like a confused mascot as if he didn't know anything and was unaware of anything.

As Li Ji stepped into the main hall, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the main hall.

Zhang Fei, in particular, stood up and walked towards Li Ji almost immediately. It looked like he had been deceived by Jia Xu again early in the morning.

"Cough cough..."

Li Ji coughed lightly and spoke seriously before Zhang Fei could speak. "Yide, why are you still here?"

"what?"

Zhang Fei was suddenly confused.

I waited all night in Li Ji's mansion, and then rushed to the government office early in the morning to settle the score with Jia Xu. Now...

I shouldn't be here, then where should I be?

With just one sentence, Zhang Fei's CPU was almost overloaded, and he subconsciously thought that he had made another mistake.

"My lord got up early in the morning and got busy with business. It was a time when there was a shortage of manpower. Ji thought Yide had gone to help early in the morning." Li Ji continued.

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Fei asked urgently, but his attention was completely diverted in an instant. After asking Liu Bei's whereabouts, he hurried out of the main hall.

In response, Gu Yong, who was hiding in a corner and pretending to be confused, looked at Zhang Fei and couldn't help but feel a little more pity.

I was pretending to be confused, but you are so honest...

Gu Yong, who arrived at the government office early, learned the general story from their conversation when Jia Xu deceived Zhang Fei, who came to ask for help.

Poor Zhang Fei was like a gun, used as a weapon by Li Ji and Jia Xu to stab each other to cause trouble.

Now that the trouble between Li Ji and Jia Xu has generally eased, the gun was instantly thrown towards the lord to end the trouble.

Moreover, Li Zikun's words to deceive Zhang Fei did not mention "the lord is looking for Zhang Fei", but they did mention "the lord is looking for Zhang Fei".

It not only perfectly avoided the problem of falsely conveying the Lord's orders, but also perfectly conveyed to Zhang Fei that the Lord was looking for him.

'The so-called language art was finally understood by Li Zikun...'

Thinking of this, Gu Yong couldn't help but shrink his head. Not only was there some air leakage from his position in the corner of the main hall, but the cold wind went straight to his neck, and he didn't want Li Ji to notice too much.

However, after the real honest man left, there were only three gentlemen left in the main hall.

Not to mention that Jia Xu and Gu Yong were both "Eight Gentlemen of the Wei and Jin Dynasties", Li Jina was a pure and honest gentleman who cared about the country and the people.

However, how could Li Ji, a gentleman who cherishes gentlemen, ignore Gu Yong?
  Li Jidang went over and pulled Gu Yong up, pressed him down next to Jia Xu, and said.

"Yuantan, why are you sitting so far away? Come over to Wenhe. It's the warmest place." "Thank you, Lord Li, for your concern." Gu Yong replied with some joy.

"Why didn't Yuan Tan call him by Ji's name instead of his position?" Li Ji asked.

"Master Cai taught me that public is public, private is private, and public and private cannot be separated. Therefore, the working hours after Dian Mao should be used as the title of the official." Gu Yong replied with a simple and honest face.

"high!"

Li Ji gave Gu Yong a thumbs up, as if he couldn't understand Gu Yong's subtext at all, and instead praised him.

"He is worthy of being praised by Duke Cai many times. He even received the crown in person and named him 'Yuan Tan'."

"Li Juncheng has given you too much praise, and thanks to Li Juncheng's regard, Yuan Tan can be appointed as the 'recorder', and he will be able to contribute to the elders of Wujun."

After a pause, Gu Yong asked. "I just don't know how I can assist Li Juncheng in taking notes?"

However, Li Ji was astonished that Gu Yong had repeatedly hinted at the "notebook clerk" and spoke directly.

"It just so happens that Wen He has another transfer order and will leave Wu County to perform official duties. Then I would like to ask Yuan Tan to make a handover with Wen He and spend more time handling these government affairs."

After Li Ji finished speaking, Jia Xu and Gu Yong stared at Li Ji almost at the same time, showing some resentment in unison.

What Jia Xu was thinking was: It turned out that I found the tool man, so I was asked to leave Wuxian County to enjoy the wind and sun?
  What Gu Yong was thinking was: I am actually the tool man? I'm just a little note-taker!
  And Gu Yong looked at the piles of bamboo slips, and he couldn't pretend anymore at this moment, so he hurriedly fought.

"Li Juncheng, logically speaking, I am not qualified to handle these government affairs."

"During work, do not be unreasonable but follow rules." Li Ji replied with a smile.

"According to the rules, I am not qualified." Gu Yong retorted.

Li Ji's smile became more elegant and easy-going, he patted Gu Yong's shoulder gently and said.

"In the government office, Ji's rules are the biggest rules. You must obey the arrangements of your superiors. Yuan Tan should not say or do anything that affects unity."

This sentence completely killed the argument, and even blocked Gu Yong's escape route.

Don’t do things that affect unity…

That is to say, if Gu Yong affects unity, the consequences will be serious.

If it were easier to understand, Li Ji would have just lied on Gu Yong's back and whispered in his ear: Yuan Tan, you don't want to care about your tribe either...

"Yes, Li Juncheng."

This year, Gu Yong was only sixteen years old. At the age of 18, he received the attention of the world-famous Li Zikun, entrusted him with important tasks and high hopes, and (voluntarily) devoted himself to his arms...

Afterwards, Jia Xu looked like he had suffered a loss, and conducted a series of government affairs handovers with Gu Yong. In particular, a large number of complicated official documents related to the resettlement of refugees accounted for almost 70%. It seemed that Gu Yong had begun to work at a young age. Bloodshot eyes.

Li Ji also stood aside and watched the entire handover process. After Jia Xu's handover was completed, Li Ji spoke.

"Yuan Tan, work hard, and don't blame Ji for not helping you..."

Immediately, Li Ji picked up three bamboo slips that were not suitable for Gu Yong to handle, and then left about three hundred bamboo slips, surrounded Gu Yong on the table, and took Jia Xu to the other side of the main hall to drink tea. .

Since Li Ji once mentioned to Liu Bei that he likes to drink fried tea, after arriving in Wu County, Liu Bei specifically ordered the blacksmith to build an iron pot based on what Li Ji said.

Therefore, after Li Ji tried it for more than ten times, he finally got the roasted tea as he wished, and it was popularized among the government offices almost instantly.

Nowadays, not only Li Ji, but also officials such as Liu Bei, Jia Xu, Jian Yong, etc. have given up on making tea, which is a complicated process and mixed with various spices, and instead choose to make tea.

"Suck, suck, suck~~~"

Although Li Ji and Jia Xu were sitting quite far away from Gu Yong, Gu Yong could still clearly hear the sound of sipping tea, and a certain fragrant and rich tea fragrance also drifted to Gu Yong's nose unknowingly, making him Gu Yong's eyeballs seemed to be bloodshot and redder.

"Li Sanqian, who is famous all over the world and cares about the country and the people, please don't fall into my hands someday..."

Gu Yong turned his grief and anger into motivation, and kept immersing himself in reviewing and reviewing, ignoring the inaudible whispers of Li Ji and Jia Xu as if they were nothing.

"Zikun, where did you find this young man? He can review government affairs so quickly when he first gets started. What a talent he can create."

Jia Xu took another sip of tea, chewed the tea leaves, and commented.

Li Ji smiled and said nothing.

As the prime minister of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Gu Yong's reputation may be far less than that of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.

But after all, he is also the man behind Sun Quan. He has been the prime minister for nineteen years. He has made almost no mistakes and is well versed in the way of protecting one's life. He is in a high position and can die well under Sun Quan in his later years. This level and ability can be called understanding. Got it all.

In Li Ji's view, Gu Yong can be called the "innate body of government affairs". Gu Yong, who is well versed in the golden mean and pretending to be ignorant, is best suited to handle the large number of complicated and trivial government affairs caused by the resettlement of refugees.

And with Gu Yong's help, Li Ji can get away from the complicated and trivial government affairs and focus more on other important matters.
