Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

But for Liu Bei, what he did casually just now was just a small episode.

Following the ambition in his heart of "Don't neglect a good deed because it is too small", and when Liu Bei passed by, he also felt pity for the three-year-old child struggling to hold the coffin, and he felt unbearable in his heart.

As for whether this will cause loss of identity...

For Liu Bei, there is no need to consider status when practicing benevolence.

However, the various tragic conditions of the refugees he saw along the way made Liu Bei's heart become more and more urgent, and he also inexplicably felt a sense of urgency on his shoulders.

The lives of thousands of people depend on a single thought.

Perhaps by borrowing more food, we can reunite a few more families of three.

Although Wu Jun is also constantly transporting food to Xuzhou through the Mi family's channels, so as to allow the refugees to have enough strength to rush to Wu Jun as much as possible.

However, when food could only be transported by land, Liu Bei frowned at the cost of transporting food, and a large number of soldiers had to be arranged to protect him from being robbed by bandits, bandits or extremely hungry refugees.

This makes transporting food even more difficult!
At this moment, Liu Bei further understood Li Ji's thoughts on building Wujun's navy.

If the shipbuilding factory is established and enough sea-going ships are built, then it is completely possible to transport grain to Xuzhou by sea.

In this way, not only the speed is increased by more than ten times, but the consumption along the way is greatly reduced, and even the safety is improved by an unknown amount.

It’s just that distant water cannot save nearby fire...

The matter of sea-going ships cannot be expected in the short term, and the consumption of Wujun's transportation of grain to Xuzhou is also staggering.

Liu Bei could only hope to borrow grain from the governors or prime ministers of Xuzhou counties, so that he could quickly meet his urgent needs.

(PS: Tao Qian is not Xuzhou Mu at this time.)
In Li Ji's plan to borrow grain from Xuzhou for Liu Bei, the first step was to find Liu Rong, King of Langya.

Suddenly, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of Li Ji's reminder before leaving Wuxian:

[Lord, the key to going to Xuzhou is King Langya! As long as King Langya is willing to borrow food in the name of helping his clan and caring for the people, then Prime Minister Langya Yinde will definitely lend food to help the people for the sake of King Langya...

Then, the lord goes from north to south, and then visits various county governors and ministers in the order of Donghai County, Xiapi County, Pengcheng Kingdom, and Guangling County. If the lord personally comes forward and gradually becomes a trend, then things will definitely be done. 】

Soon, the fiefdom of Langya King Liu Rong was in front of Liu Bei.

Immediately, recalling Li Ji's reminder, Liu Bei did not wash up and continued to look dusty and muddy. Then he asked Xiahou Bo to prepare all the gifts and went directly to the palace of King Langya to hand over the greeting card.

After Liu Bei waited outside the palace for a while, the middle door of King Langya's palace opened wide, and a young man who looked a little sick and wore royal robes came out and saluted Liu Bei from a distance.

"It turns out it's my uncle who's visiting. Please forgive me for not welcoming him from afar."

Upon seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly greeted him and returned the greeting. "King Langya is too polite. Bei Nai is a foreign minister. How can he be called an uncle?"

Liu Rong coughed a few times, looked at Liu Bei's gentle look, and couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy in his heart and spoke.

"According to seniority, since I am an uncle, I should act as a junior."

Immediately, Liu Rongfang noticed Liu Bei's dusty and slightly embarrassed look, and couldn't help but ask.

"Why is there so much mud on my uncle's body? Could it be that he encountered bandits and bandits on the way?"

Liu Bei quickly replied. "No, it's just that I am eager to meet King Langya, and I am anxious in my heart instead of daring to stop for a moment."

"Oh? But something big happened that brought my uncle who is far away from Wu County to Langya." Liu Rongli asked nervously.

Liu Bei spoke with a hint of guilt in his tone.

"It's really a matter of refugees. I can't bear to see the refugees suffer from hunger, but Wu Jun has spared no effort in spending money and food. That's why I came to visit King Langya to borrow food."

When Liu Rong heard this, his expression softened and he said.

"The king's palace still has a lot of food. Apart from keeping some for the servants, gifting the rest to my uncle is just a small matter, but I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket."

After a pause, Liu Rong spoke proactively.

"I would also like to invite my uncle to come into the palace for a while. Please allow me to summon Yin De, Prime Minister of Langya State, to come and talk to me and see if I can intercede and let Prime Minister Yin lend some grain from Langya's granary to my uncle."

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He never expected that things would go more smoothly than he imagined. He was even more impressed by Li Ji's clever calculation.

Langya King Liu Rong was really a wise king. Before Liu Bei even asked, he was already trying his best to help Liu Bei borrow food to save the people as soon as possible.

It should be noted that the Han Dynasty had 13 states and 105 counties. Some of the counties were renamed as countries because there were Han clan members in these counties who were crowned kings.

However, not every king's territory occupies an entire county, and each king's territory will be reduced a lot if he is passed down for another generation.

Therefore, even within Langya Kingdom, King Langya does not have much real territory.

And under such circumstances, if the imperial court sets up county guards in Langya country to govern the territories that are not owned by King Langya, it will undoubtedly be disrespectful to King Langya.

Therefore, whenever there is a king in a county, there should be no county guard, but a chancellor to respect the king.

And when Langya King Liu Rong was willing to personally intercede with Langya Prime Minister on behalf of Liu Bei, even though Liu Rong did not have the power to directly order the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister naturally needed to give Liu Rong face. As long as Langya Kingdom opens such an opening and precedent in Xuzhou, it will be much easier for Liu Bei to visit other counties.

The development of things was much easier than Liu Bei imagined, and everything seemed to fall into place as Li Ji had expected.

After Liu Bei stated that the borrowed grain would not be transported to Wu County, but would be used to provide disaster relief and rescue people nearby, with Liu Rong's strong support, Langya Prime Minister Yin De promised to mobilize 50,000 dans of grain and grass for disaster relief.

However, Langya State Prime Minister Yinde made it clear that Langya State was unable to accommodate the refugees and could only divert a large number of refugees towards Wu County.

Naturally, Liu Bei would not have the slightest objection to this.

As the matter was quickly agreed upon, Liu Bei only stayed at Langya Palace for one night. He hurriedly bid farewell to Liu Rong and Yinde the next morning, and hurried south to Donghai County.

Liu Rong sent Liu Bei personally outside the city, and watched Liu Bei and others leave, but he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"My uncle can be said to be a very benevolent and virtuous person."

Yin De, who had always had a sullen face before, commented with a bit more admiration in his tone.

"A gentleman."

After a pause, Yin De shook his head and said.

"But if Langya Disaster Relief continues to vigorously divert the refugees to the south, how can Wu County resettle so many victims? This may be more of a disaster than a merit."

"My uncle is not someone who cares about one thing and not the other. He should have already had countermeasures. We can do our best."

Liu Rong shook his head, said something, and then said.

"Prime Minister Yin, I can allocate 10,000 dans of grain from my palace, and I will give all of it to Prime Minister Yin for disaster relief. Please make good use of it."

Knowing Liu Rong's character, Yin De did not refuse. Instead, he handed over his hand and hurriedly went down to arrange everything and prepare to start disaster relief.

Only Liu Rong stayed there for a long time, looking at the occasional homeless people outside the city, and murmured with a bit of sadness in his eyes.

"Can I, the Liu family, be worthy of my ancestors, worthy of all the people in the world, and worthy of the great Han Dynasty?"

……

And at the same time.

In the Luoyang Palace, Shi Changshi and many important ministers were also fighting fiercely in the court hall.

Without those refined speeches, everything was straightforward and vulgar.

After all, as a general, He Jin was just a butcher, and most of the ten regular servants were ordinary civilians.

Since the leaders of the two major forces in the imperial court are both vulgar people, the styles of both sides will naturally not be generous.

"Zhang Rang, you eggless thing, I just think there's something wrong with resettling those refugees in Yangzhou?"

"He Jin, you vulgar person, fuck your mother!"

"Do you have that ability? Besides, I am a relative of the emperor. If you want to fuck my mother, do you intend to be disrespectful to His Majesty?"

"You are a butcher and a vulgar person, don't talk to His Majesty in such an arrogant way!"

"You're an eggless person, you can't be rude even if you want to be rude."

"..."

As the scolding war between the two sides gradually evolved from the issue of resettling the refugees to personal attacks, many important ministers present were already accustomed to it, and even their laughter was no longer flawless.

On the contrary, the aloof Emperor Liu Hong leaned back a little lazily, supporting his chin with one hand, as if watching a good show, listening to the exchanges between He Jin and Zhang Rang with great interest.

As for the slight offense to imperial power in the conversation between He Jin and Shi Changshi, Emperor Liu Hong didn't care, or it could be said that Emperor Liu Hong did it intentionally.

Regardless of whether it is He Jin or Shi Changshi, the worse the reputation and the more incompetent the ability, the more satisfied the emperor Liu Hong will be.

Since Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, in order to check and balance the aristocratic family's control of government affairs, each generation of emperors had to rely on the power of eunuchs and relatives, but at the same time, relatives often had exclusive power.

Therefore, the eunuchs of this generation were chosen by Emperor Liu Hong for a long time...stupid pigs.

This kind of eunuch's wife who even kept her power secretly and even openly scolded her in the court was the eunuch's wife that Emperor Liu Hong felt most at ease with.

So, let’s scold each other…

The Emperor Liu Hong patiently enjoyed this good show until he became a little tired. Seeing that there were many important ministers in the court who supported the resettlement of the refugees in Yangzhou, and there was no need for the court to pay an extra penny for food, he was also satisfied with this. A solution to the severe drought and epidemic in the Central Plains.

"Then let Yangzhou be responsible for resettling the refugees, and the governor of Yangzhou will supervise this matter..."

The Emperor Liu Hong said calmly and made the final conclusion on the matter. Then he left the court in response to the "Sage's" voice and went straight to the wine pond and meat forest in the harem, his pace speeding up a lot. (End of chapter)
