Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Then, Jian Yong breathed a sigh of relief, as if some heavy burden had been lifted.

In a very short period of time, Jian Yong not only needs to quickly establish a refugee camp to house the refugees who are constantly being sent from the other side of the Yangtze River, but also needs to be responsible for responding to the refugees' problems and preventing them from freezing to death or starving to death, or causing riot.

This made Jian Yong also spin for a long time, not daring to relax even a little for fear of something big going wrong.

Now that the most tedious and careful money and food supplies have been handed over, Jian Yong's pressure has obviously been greatly reduced, and he even had a little more energy to say a digression.

"My lord and Zikun don't know what they are thinking. It is obviously not easy for the refugees to be stable for the time being, and yet they sent someone to order them to follow a series of rules related to diet and excretion. It's really stupid..."

Having said this, Jian Yong shut up instantly and did not say the disrespectful words. Instead, he cupped his hands towards Jia Xu and hurriedly walked out of the tent.

Obviously, for the refugee camp in Nuoda, there are still a steady stream of refugees being sent to the refugee camp in batches. This leaves Jian Yong with almost no spare time. There are countless trivial matters that need to be dealt with by Jian Yong. to solve.

Jia Xu, who had maintained a gentle and gentlemanly manner throughout the whole process, watched Jian Yong leave and then calmly opened the bamboo slips and started reading.

After a while.

Jia Xu summed up his mission in two words - "simple".

Jian Yong's work in allocating money and food was "rough", but there were no major mistakes. He only needed to continue to "follow the rules and regulations".

But it was precisely because it was too simple that it made Jia Xu feel inexplicably uneasy.

Due to Jia Xu's special status in Liu Bei's group, Liu Bei rarely directly bypasses Li Ji and gives Jia Xu any tasks. But Jia Xu knows better that the tasks Li Ji gives him are never simple. of.

Every time... it's a troublesome high-end game.

"So, what's the problem?"

Jia Xu squinted her eyes and thought for a while, unconsciously stroking the lines of the bamboo slips in front of her with her hands, and all the messy possibilities in her mind soon formed a train of thought.

This made Jia Xu stand up suddenly, picked up the warrant for mobilizing money and food, and quickly headed towards the area in the refugee camp where food, grass, clothing and other supplies were stored.

Coincidentally, Jia Xu heard bursts of cheers from the refugees around him.

"Food has been delivered again!"

"Mr. Liu Fu is truly a benevolent person..."

"Hurry, dear grandson, kowtow to Mr. Liu Fu. Never forget Mr. Liu Fujun's great kindness in this life."

"A lot of food, still the same amount as what was delivered last time."

……

Jia Xu paused and looked in the direction of the cheers. He saw a baggage team escorting food walking in Jia Xu's direction.

Wherever he passed, the cheers of the refugees rang out, and even the originally numb eyes were filled with life and light.

For them, that is their chance to survive.

Jia Xu didn't say a word, but his eyes looked back and forth among the baggage team.

The grain officer in charge of the granary had already noticed Jia Xu's appearance, and hurriedly walked towards Jia Xu and asked respectfully.

"Lord Changshi, what are your orders?"

Jia Xu waved his hand and said calmly. "Nothing, let's take stock of the food and put it into storage first."

"Yes!"

When the grain officer heard the words, he nodded and bowed in agreement. He then went to personally supervise the delivery of bags of grain sent by the baggage team into the granary with the sword on his waist.

A large number of refugees gathered around the granary, watching the grain being sent into the granary with eagerness and hope in their eyes.

However, the prestige that Jian Yong had accumulated before and the large number of soldiers stationed around the granary prevented these refugees from making any rash moves.

It wasn't until all the food sent by the baggage teams was delivered into the granary that the refugees dispersed on their own.

Jia Xu had been watching the refugees disperse, and then he walked towards the granary with a slightly sullen face.

Seeing this, the grain officer also rushed towards Jia Xu to greet him.

But before the grain officer could speak, Jia Xu took out the warrant for mobilizing money and grain and ordered.

"Open the granary, I want to go inside and inspect it."

"Yes."

After the grain officer checked that the warrant was correct, he realized that his immediate superior had changed from the meritorious Cao Jian Yong to the Jia Xu in front of him. His expression became more respectful and he quickly ordered the granary to be opened.

Just when Jia Xu was about to enter alone, he paused slightly, pointed his finger at the grain officer, and said.

"What's your name?"

"I am Li Can, a native of Haiyan, Wu County, with the courtesy name Ziyao." Grain Officer Li Can was shocked and replied loudly.

For Li Can, if he could be appreciated by Chang Shi, a high-ranking official in Wu County, he would be able to rise to great heights in an instant.

"That's right, that's right. I didn't expect that his surname is Li, and he is from the same family as Li Juncheng."

Jia Xu nodded slightly, with a gentle and harmless smile on his face, and then replied. "Li Can, could you please come with me and check the food?"

"No trouble, no trouble, it's an honor for me to serve Mr. Chang Shi." Li Can said excitedly, and then led Jia Xu the way, and said a little excitedly.

"Speaking of which, I heard that my ancestors also moved from the North to Wu. It is possible that they have some connection with Li Juncheng's ancestors..."

Jia Xu did not correct Li Can because he was so excited that he even spoke awkwardly. Instead, he changed his eyes after entering the granary and quickly focused on the batch of grain that had just been put into the warehouse.

Immediately, Jia Xu walked up to the batch of grain and patted the sack hard with his palm.

The dull sound of being slapped on the grain
"Open an opening."

Jia Xu ordered to Li Can.

Li Can followed the words and did not find it strange at all. Instead, he felt in his heart that it was no wonder that someone else was Chang Shi. His responsible and cautious behavior was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Immediately afterwards, Li Can took out the saber from his waist and poked a hole in the sack with a slight force.

rice!
Jia Xu grabbed a handful and inspected it, then reached deep from the opening to his elbow, grabbed another handful and took it out for inspection.

rice!
Although the color is a bit old, it is undoubtedly edible rice, and a handful of it is enough for the refugees outside to break each other's heads.

Moreover, the color is a bit old, which is normal.

After all, Jia Xu knew very well how the food in Wu County's granary came from.

Then, Jia Xu reached out and patted different sacks one after another, from top to bottom...

Until he patted the sacks piled in the middle layer, Jia Xu suddenly felt a slightly different feel and sound.

Jia Xu's expression had not changed yet, but Li Can's expression changed drastically after hearing the roundabout voice.

As a grain officer, Li Can knew very well what a normal sack of grain would sound like when patted.

This sound is wrong!

Before Jia Xu could say anything, Li Can drew his knife and stabbed the sack.

As Li Can withdrew his saber, he saw extremely dazzling sand, which made Li Can's face suddenly turn pale.

The next moment, Li Can suddenly knelt down towards Jia Xu, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried out for mercy.

"I'm definitely not greedy for food. I'm from Haiyan, and my whole family is in Haiyan. It would be considered trivial for the three Yi tribes to be found out about this kind of thing. I would never dare to do such a thing."

"Lord Chang Shi, Ming Jian! Ming Jian!"

"And... yes, yes! Mr. Changshi also saw that these grains were delivered just now. They have nothing to do with me at all. Please tell me, Mr. Changshi."

Just when Li Can was crying with runny nose and was about to knock his head off.

"Get up."

Jia Xu grabbed Li Can's shoulder, lifted it up, and said. "Don't worry, I know you are innocent."

"Thank you...Thank you, Lord Changshi."

Li Can stood up tremblingly and still a little frightened.

Jia Xu, on the other hand, patted Li Can on the shoulder, and his gentle and harmless gentlemanly attitude made Li Can regain some courage.

"Go, check every bag of grain delivered this time to see how much sand is in it."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Li Can immediately checked the sacks bag by bag as arranged by Jia Xu.

After working for a while, Li Can came back to report to Jia Xu with a pale face. "Only... only 20% of the sacks contain grain."

Two percent?

Jia Xu's expression finally changed slightly, and his heart was almost instantly filled with more than a dozen articles that were comparable to the "Essay on Criticizing Thieves". He wished he could scold all the eight generations of the ancestors of the Longxi Li family.

However, Jia Xu soon realized that the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi was not Li Ji's real ancestor...

Jia Xu knew that any task given to him by Li Ji would never be simple, but Jia Xu never expected that Li Ji would be so ruthless.

The food officer Li Can thinks Mo is greedy for food does not exist...

And under this situation, unless Liu Bei or Li Ji personally ordered it, no one would dare to embezzle food under such circumstances.

With Li Ji's powerful position in the Liu Bei Group, gold and silver treasures are readily available, so why do he need to be a big rat?
Therefore, the sand must have been installed under Li Ji's order.

Because the refugees cannot be allowed to discover that the food delivered by the baggage train has decreased, otherwise it will not only destabilize the people in the refugee camp, but also damage Liu Bei's reputation.

There is insufficient food in Wu County and it is impossible to provide enough food to keep everyone full, so the food supply can only be reduced in this way.

Therefore, it became clear that Jia Xu's real mission, which could not be left in writing, was to keep as many refugees alive as possible while reducing the food supply to 20% of what could have been enough to fill their stomachs.

Under Li Can's anxious gaze, Jia Xu pondered for a while, then his gentle and harmless smile slowly appeared again, and he said warmly.

"Li Can, don't be afraid, I know this matter has nothing to do with you." (End of Chapter)
