Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"The 'city without walls' mentioned by Mr. Zikun may not be impossible to achieve."

Mi Zhu first expressed his support and then spoke.

"I will immediately send people to the area around Rende Academy to conduct on-the-spot measurements to confirm the area suitable for building a city and whether there have been any disasters in this area over the years. Then I will calculate the money and food expenses required to initially build the market and report it to the lord for decision. "

"As for the location issue, Zizhong doesn't have to worry about it."

Li Ji smiled, pointed at the area just circled on the map, and said with a smile.

"This area has not been affected by disasters recorded in the entire central and northern parts of Wu County in the past 50 years, and after the water conservancy issues in Wu County are subsequently improved, even if a typhoon sweeps through, this area will not be affected. Risk of drowning.”

Hearing this, Mi Zhu couldn't help but look at Li Ji in shock...

But then he couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. To others, this kind of thing can be regarded as a "great talent". He really has a ravine in his chest and a mountain and river hidden in his belly.

But for Li Zikun, it seems to be just a basic thing.

Mi Zhu, who was in charge of finance, had the good fortune to have access to part of the complete picture of Wu County's water conservancy planning plan. He knew how grand the plan was, and was even more shocked by how Li Ji accomplished this plan on his own.

If it were Mi Zhu, I am afraid that even if there are more than fifty scholars who are good at water conservancy to help, I am afraid that it will not take three to five years to come up with a preliminary plan.

and……

'So it seems that Mr. Zikun had already planned all of this when he selected the site for Rende Academy? '

This thought flashed through Mi Zhu's mind, and she couldn't help but admire Li Ji more and more, and she looked forward to the future of Wu County as a whole.

"I understand. I will come up with a plan and present it to the lord as soon as possible."

Mi Zhu responded in a deep voice, inexplicably feeling a sense of urgency and pressure, fearing that it would slow down Li Ji's rhythm and planning.

Li Ji nodded and continued.

"Zizhong, regarding the idea of ​​building this 'city without walls', I'm afraid the treasury won't be able to come up with any extra money. All that money needs to be used as a guarantee for the water conservancy development plan and cannot be touched lightly."

Suddenly, Mi Zhu was stunned.

If you don’t have money, just tell me your appearance!

Mi Zhu's face turned red for a moment. Isn't this trying to embarrass my Zizhong?
Li Ji naturally knew that Mi Zhu could not make something out of nothing, but the money in the government's granary must not be touched lightly, and it was even less likely to be invested in the "city without walls" in the short term, which was likely to be a bottomless pit with insufficient short-term returns.

Although the government treasury is now full of money and food, considering the two most important gold-eating beasts, water conservancy planning and shipbuilding factories, there is no room for squandering.

Immediately, Li Ji continued to speak.

"So, Ji's idea is to jointly build this 'city without walls' with the Mi family in the name of the government, and the Mi family can share 50% of the thirty-year ownership of any shop..."

"And when we continue to expand this 'city without walls', it will inevitably continue to attract other aristocratic families and merchants to join it. The government will take the opportunity to take the lead in establishing a chamber of commerce, and the Mi family will serve as the initial president."

"In the future, the construction of the 'City Without Walls' will be carried out in the form of a chamber of commerce, and the shops will also be allocated 50% of the thirty-year ownership rights to the chamber of commerce for internal distribution."

贪！
So greedy!
It can be said that Li Ji's idea is that as soon as the government spends a dime, it will only be responsible for the land. Not only will it directly distribute half of the shops and all the residences, but it will also collect all the huge taxes generated by the "city without walls". This can accommodate the external students of the "Ren De Academy" to meet their daily needs.

However, Mi Zhu became more and more excited the more she listened.

From a businessman's perspective, this is still a profitable business.

How much does building energy cost in terms of food and materials?

As long as there is enough traffic, a store that lasts for thirty years can definitely make back the cost.

From a long-term investment perspective, as long as the "city without walls" continues to develop, the rate of return will be extremely high.

And once the "City Without Walls" truly reaches a certain scale, it can be regarded as a commercial city in the true sense...

Even looking from a more distant perspective, if the massive development of the territory south of the Yangtze River that Li Zikun once proposed becomes a reality, then this "city without walls" will not only become a commercial city south of the Yangtze River, but perhaps It will be a commercial city that directly connects the north and south hubs.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Zikun...what do you mean by the chamber of commerce you just mentioned?"

Mi Zhu suddenly thought of a term Li Ji just mentioned and asked.

When Li Ji heard this, he gave Mi Zhu a general explanation of what a chamber of commerce was.

Even Li Ji didn't need to explain it thoroughly. With Mi Zhu's ability, he understood the meaning and importance of the Chamber of Commerce in an instant.

And Li Ji's promise is... that the Mi family will become the first president of the Chamber of Commerce.

In an instant, Mi Zhu's heart was pounding, knowing that this would be a huge opportunity for the Mi family, and even the Mi family would be completely recorded in the annals of history and become an iconic name for businessmen.

Compared with the risk that Mi Zhu took in building a market in the early days, this is undoubtedly not an exchange. It can even be regarded as Li Ji replacing Liu Bei in repaying the Mi family's previous investment in Liu Bei.

After realizing this, Mi Zhu immediately bowed to Li Ji and thanked him. "Zhu, I would like to thank Mr. Zikun for this. From now on, Mi Zhu will do his best to serve his lord."

"Since Zizhong understands my intention, let's go down and get busy. Rather than assisting Yuan Tan in handling trivial government affairs, it is better to focus more on his own duties. The word 'finance' is nothing more than increasing revenue and reducing expenditure." Li Jixiao said.

"Mr. Xie Zikun's advice will be kept in mind by Mi Zhu."

Mi Zhu said gratefully, and then hurriedly left the main hall, apparently going down to arrange for someone to come up with a practical plan.

Only Gu Yong, who had lost such a hard-earned helper like Mi Zhu, had an even more bitter look on his face and looked at Li Jidao faintly.

"Li Juncheng, Master Mi just helped me handle some government affairs. Is this intentional or accidental..."

"Yuantan, don't promote yourself. If you can't judge the significance and benefits of that 'city without walls', then maybe you should consider whether to change someone to handle government affairs."

Li Ji said casually while taking a leisurely sip of tea.

Suddenly, Gu Yong became silent.

Gu Yong always had doubts about Li Ji's intentions and character, but he couldn't help but admire Li Ji's ability. He couldn't understand why someone's vision of governance could always transcend the times.

Gu Yong, who had been listening carefully just now, also made some calculations in his mind and found that what Li Ji had expected was correct.

Today, with "Rende Academy" as the center, it is indeed just a piece of wasteland unsuitable for farming, but after Li Ji drew that circle, ten years later, I am afraid that the "city without walls" that rises from the ground will become the entire The most prosperous city in Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Gu Yong also knew that perhaps this was Li Ji's reward for him, and decided to persuade his father to drink this soup with the Mi family early after returning home from work later.

However, before Gu Yong could think about how to persuade his father, he was hit on the head.

"boom!"

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry and deal with government affairs."

Li Ji lifted up the bamboo slips that he knocked on Gu Yong, then threw the bamboo slips in front of Gu Yong and replied.

"This part was handled improperly. Let's do it again! My Lord upholds the style of benevolence and does not need to be too harsh on the refugees. He will do his best to benefit the people wherever possible."

"You are now my lord's subject and my subordinate officer. You should handle government affairs from the perspective of the lord and me, not..."

When he said this, Li Ji's voice paused, slowed down a little, and spoke every word authentically.

"The mentality and style of aristocratic family members."

In an instant, Gu Yong, who was honest on the surface but disapproving on the inside, felt a chill in his heart. He subconsciously looked up at Li Ji and met the pair of eyes that seemed to see through his thoughts. He instinctively lowered his head and answered respectfully.

"Yes, Li Juncheng."

"Yuan Tan, you need to take a longer view. I'm optimistic about you, so don't let me down."

Li Ji said something and tapped the table three more times before returning to his seat to deal with some bamboo slips that were not suitable for Gu Yong to handle.

After reading the first volume, Li Ji couldn't help but twist his eyebrows slightly.

Guan Yu reported: There is something strange happening in the mountains to the south.

Guan Yu did not mention any support, but Li Ji knew that with Guan Yu's arrogance, something worthy of Guan Yu's special report was enough to show that it was probably not a trivial matter.

Immediately, Li Ji came to the government office and looked at the map around Fuchun Mountain.

There is no doubt that Wu is close to the Yangtze River after all, and has experienced hundreds of years of development by the Yue, Wu and Chu states dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Therefore, there are not many Shanyue tribes in Wu. Even if there are Shanyue tribes, they are in the south of Wu County.

Guan Yu only needs to guard the Fuchun Mountain area to block Shanyue's possibility of plundering Wu Commandery.

However, what Li Ji was worried about was the problems of other states and counties in Yangzhou, and how to truly integrate the Shanyue and barbarian tribes into the Han Dynasty.

……

at the same time.

The devastated Guo Tu didn't even know how he left the "Rende Academy". In addition to the changes in the "four red water crossings" in his head, there was a deep sense of frustration.

Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, Guo Tu's performance was good enough, and he was full of ingenuity, and he was forced to survive in the extreme situation of being surrounded and with a huge gap in troops and equipment.

More than 30,000 light infantrymen were exchanged for more than 15,000 enemy troops!
However, after actually being in the sand table deduction, Guo Tu realized what a desperate situation the blue team was facing, and that all his actions were nothing more than a meaningless struggle as a trapped beast.

What Guo Tu finds even more difficult to accept is how Li Zikun did better in such an extreme and desperate situation...

This is impossible! (End of chapter)
