Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 151 Where does the money and food come from?

As he understood the information deduced by the "strategy simulator" bit by bit, Li Ji couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Perhaps in terms of results, this time Li Ji succeeded in using force and "righteousness" to force the results in the direction he wanted.

Not only did he successfully solve the problem of resettlement of the refugees, but he also took the opportunity to add a large amount of sand to the rest of Yangzhou counties, gradually allowing Liu Bei to take control of the state pastoral power as the governor.

However, the last reminder from the "strategy simulator" forced Li Ji to pay attention to it.

Are there any hidden dangers left?
The obvious hidden danger is the family problem.

It is conceivable that if Li Ji immediately implements the plan deduced in the "strategy simulator", then in the eyes of the Yangzhou family.

That was originally at home, eating hot pot and singing songs, occupying hundreds of acres of land, and enjoying the wonderful life of farming, studying and passing down family traditions.

suddenly……

There was a "pop".

Liu Bei and Li Ji, the governors of Yangzhou, insisted on being nosy. They wanted to save those mud-legged people, but they forced them into their homes and demanded that the fields be divided.

Can this be tolerated?
This is not just a slap in the face, it is shaking the foundation of our family!

There is only so much arable land, and if it is given to the mud-legged people, won’t our family be short of it?
Even if our wine and meat stink, it has nothing to do with the mud-legs who are about to freeze to death and starve to death, let alone share it with them.

Very soon...

Our aristocratic family made its own reaction. The court's justice cannot be violated, and Liu Bei and Li Ji can't fight head-on, so we can just attack those mud-legged people.

Do it, do it, do it all!
As long as no mud-legs arrive, there is naturally no need to relocate.

However, what those aristocratic families probably didn't expect was that the two foreign Yankees in Wu County were so ungrateful that they would actually lie in wait and plot, and even use this opportunity to bite back and impeach each and every official position.

After that bloody political struggle, the status, influence and power of the Yangzhou aristocratic families will inevitably decline significantly, and many Yangzhou aristocratic families will even disappear completely from history.

Will the Yangzhou family be willing to do this?

Different from the situation of the Wujun family, it is good that 70% of the Wujun family is dead, but the 70% who die will not protest, while the status of the 30% who are alive has increased to a certain extent with Liu Bei's comfort.

More importantly, 70% of the deaths of the Wujun family were almost perfectly blamed on the Wujun bandits, and Liu Bei played the role of a savior.

Even if some family members have seen the clues, the living will not become the mouthpiece of the dead.

In the future, if the Yangzhou family is determined to cause trouble with Liu Bei, there won't be many ways, and the hidden dangers and troubles it can cause will be staggering.

For example, Sun Ce in the original trajectory was ambushed by a family member and died under a crossbow.

Even with Sun Ce's force, Liu Bei and Li Ji would be killed by random shots from bows and crossbows, let alone Liu Bei and Li Ji.

In addition, those Yangzhou aristocratic families have been in the local area for more than a hundred years. If they do it deliberately, they may not be able to follow the practices of the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty and secretly collude to guide the Shanyue barbarians to plunder.

With internal support, no matter how dense the defenses are, the Shanyue barbarians can easily find a gap and come and go like the wind.

Thinking about the hidden dangers that he could think of, Li Ji felt a pain in his head, and he really wanted to kill all the Yangzhou families on impulse.

But his reason told Li Ji clearly that this was impossible.

The aristocratic family represents not only hidden dangers and troubles, but also the elite of the entire era.

Like Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Xun Yu, Lu Xun and other great talents, none of them were born in aristocratic families. They really overshadowed the aristocratic families like Huang Chao, and stood completely opposite to the aristocratic families like a diode.

Then even if you gain the world, you will still face a situation where there is no one to manage it.

'Give some parts together, attack some parts, divide them and transform them...'

Li Ji knew very well that this was the best way to treat the aristocratic family, transferring the conflict between the power and the aristocratic family to the conflict between the aristocratic family and the aristocratic family itself.

In this way, we can continuously eliminate the dross in the family while retaining the essence of the family, so that those essences can become the foundation for establishing a power.

But, how to do it specifically, and how to achieve that degree...

Li Ji took a deep breath, and a large amount of the still moist and cool air entered his nasal cavity, allowing Li Ji to keep a clear head.

Suddenly, Li Ji also noticed another hidden danger that had been ignored.

It does not come from aristocratic families, but rather comes from hidden dangers within Wu County.

That is, even if Wu Jun successfully diverted a large number of refugees, the amount of money and food consumed by Wu Jun in the process was unimaginable.

Wu County's huge money and food gap must also be a hidden danger.

Without the support of money and food, the development and development of Wu County will inevitably stop.

'money! grain! '

This thing will not fall from the sky, nor can it be dug directly from the ground!
If you want to have ready money and food, you only need to rely on transfers...

Moved from other people's warehouses to Wujun's treasury.

However, it is almost impossible to extract money and food from the emperor and the court.

As for this era when "rich families are stinking of wine and meat, and people are freezing to death on the road", it is impossible for wealthy families to do things like donate money and food to refugees and victims of disasters. The only two ways are to borrow or rob.

Rob? Can official affairs be called robbery?

And there are some things that cannot be done at the same time. If the same trick is repeated again, it is a clumsy self-destruction.

borrow?
"But, who can lend such a huge amount of money and food?"

Li Ji's eyes flashed and he murmured something.

The Central Plains region and the Northland near the border can be eliminated first.

They are short of food themselves, where can they borrow food?
Looking further south, Jiaozhou, the most remote and least populated state, also has neither money nor food, so only Xu, Jing, and Yizhou are left with the most money and food.

Among them, Jingzhou and Xuzhou are the closest to Wu County and seem to be the best choices.

However, Jingzhou and Xuzhou did not have prefectures, and each prefecture and county was governed by their own county magistrates. If Li Ji wanted to borrow food, he could only try to persuade the magistrates one by one.

On the contrary, it is Yizhou, and now Liu Yan has been appointed as the state pastor.

As long as Liu Yan can be persuaded, Liu Yan can mobilize the treasury of Yizhou in a single thought.

And although Yizhou is quite far away from Wujun, it is not difficult to reach Wujun as long as Yizhou dispatches ships to transport money and grain from the waterway all the way down the Yangtze River.

'The various county guards in Jingzhou and Xuzhou should try to contact each other to solve their urgent needs...'

'And even if those county guards are unwilling to borrow food, they can still use this to get to know each other and prepare for the future. '

'However, if Wu County's financial and food crisis can be solved, the only way to persuade Liu Yan is to mobilize the money and food that Yizhou, the land of abundance, has accumulated over the years. '

Li Ji thought about it silently, feeling that the way to break the situation was obvious.

Although there are still countless problems in how to persuade Liu Yan, or how to find ways to divert the refugees and integrate them into Yangzhou, at least there is a way to break the situation.

……

at the same time.

Under the quick work of the messengers, the orders sent from the government office were quickly delivered to Jia Xu's hands.

When Jia Xu saw the order "Don't starve to death", his expression changed slightly. Li Ji's face inexplicably appeared in his mind, and he felt that something was wrong.

It's just that Liu Bei's order is here.

Jia Xu could only end his leisurely tea-sipping time, straighten his appearance a little, and then led his two guards out of the post house arranged in Dantu City, heading towards the refugee camp about twenty miles outside the city. go.

When Jia Xu approached the camp that was urgently built to house the refugees, a stench of mixed smells first reached Jia Xu's nose from a distance.

Jia Xu did not rush into the refugee camp, but observed it from a distance and confirmed that there was no danger of riots in the refugee camp...

In response, Jia Xu nodded slightly, confirming that Jian Yong still had certain abilities and that riots would not break out in the refugee camp so soon.

Then, Jia Xu made a rough estimate from a distance and found that there were approximately 20,000 refugees who had been initially resettled in the refugee camp. He then entered the refugee camp under the protection of two personal guards.

Numb faces came into his eyes, but Jia Xu's expression did not change at all from the beginning to the end.

Refugees...

For Jia Xu, who was born in the cold and bitter land of Xiliang, he has seen too much!

After witnessing countless people starving to death and freezing to death, and the refugees who were almost rescued almost having all their food and clothing taken away from them, it became even more difficult for Jia Xu to make any waves about the misery of the refugees.

'madness! '

'Li Zikun, why do you support my lord in doing this? Is it really not the work of a wise man, or are you also burdened by your reputation and cannot see the current situation clearly? '

Jia Xu said secretly, and without changing his expression, he walked through the refugees gathered everywhere in the refugee camp, and went straight to the big tent located in the center of the refugee camp, which was protected by several soldiers who were standing ready.

Just before Jia Xu walked in, the curtain of the big tent was opened first. Jian Yong, whose hair was as messy as a chicken coop and his eyes were sunken, walked out in a hurry and almost bumped into Jia Xu.

At this moment, the images of Jian Yong and Jia Xu are very different.

"Wenhe?"

Jian Yong saw the person in front of him clearly, and his eyes that always showed fatigue were just a little brighter. He grabbed Jia Xu and walked into the big tent, saying.

"I was just about to go and find you. My lord has ordered you to take charge of the distribution of money and food to the refugees."

Jian Yong spoke quickly and briefly, obviously so exhausted that he no longer had the thought or energy to be polite.

Jia Xu cupped his hands unhurriedly. "I just came here after receiving the order from my lord."

"That's just right..."

Jian Yong pulled Jia Xu to a table in the big tent and sat down, then he placed a pile of bamboo slips related to the distribution of money and food in front of Jia Xu, and quickly handed over a warrant for the transfer of money and food. (End of chapter)
