Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Therefore, Liu Yan's bottom line is very clear, that is, more food can be given, but if Li Ji's request is to ask Liu Yan to reward Liu Bei with a Yizhou County governor, that is absolutely impossible.

There was no land in Yizhou for Liu Bei to live.

It can even be said that Liu Bei really entered Shu. Liu Yan felt that he might not be able to sleep at night.

Liu Yan discussed the details with Liu Zhang in detail and reminded Liu Zhang of the key point of visiting Wu County. Only then did Liu Yan summon Zhao Yun as the envoy to explain his decision.

When Zhao Yun heard that Liu Yan, the herdsman of Yizhou, was going to send his son to follow Zhao Yun to visit Li Ji in Wu County, and he had prepared 300,000 loads of grain as a gift.

Even though Zhao Yun was as calm as he was, he was already a little confused and even wondered if he had heard wrongly.

Zhao Yun knows very well how far Wu County is short of food now.

Li Ji and Mi Zhu had to have heated discussions about money and food almost every few days, and the refugee camps in front of them also tried their best to reduce the consumption of money and food.

What exactly did Mr. Zikun write in the bamboo slips that he actually asked Yizhou Shepherd to return to Wu County with 300,000 burdens of gifts.

At this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly felt that the so-called rich man was far inferior to Mr. Zikun.

It is unimaginable to exchange one bamboo slip for 300,000 dans of grain...

Until Zhao Yun and Yizhou's guards escorted Liu Zhang and set off in a hurry, Zhao Yun still felt as if he was in a dream.

As for the huge 300,000 tons of grain, naturally it was not transported from Luoxian County, which is now the seat of Yizhou, nor was it transported bit by bit to Wu County by land.

Otherwise, given the difficult roads around Yizhou, it might take a year and a half to transport it to Wu County.

Therefore, Liu Yan mainly mobilized the grain from Bajun in southern Yizhou, directly entered the Yangtze River from Bashu, and went south along the Yangtze River straight to Wujun.

Zhao Yun followed Liu Zhang to Bajun and saw the continuous loading of grain, and he was very excited.

I understand that as long as this food is sent to Wu County, not only will Wu County's food shortage crisis be solved, but the lives of many refugees can also be saved.

It's just that the huge amount of 300,000 dans of grain and grass, even with the abundance of the land in Sichuan, needs to be slowly mobilized from the major granaries, and loading it also takes a lot of time.

Moreover, Zhao Yun knew that these grains were of great significance. The sooner Li Ji knew the news, the more prepared Wu County would be.

Immediately, except for Zhao Yun who continued to stay in Ba County to protect Liu Zhang and food, the rest of the guards who followed Zhao Yun to Yizhou were all dispersed by Zhao Yun on different ships and sent to Wu County to ensure that the news could be informed to Li Ji as soon as possible. .

……

And Zhao Yun's judgment was correct. This was the news that Li Ji was waiting for!

As Zhao Yun's personal guards returned from Yizhou one after another, they reported the news to Li Ji.

After mutual confirmation to ensure that the news was true, even Li Ji couldn't help showing a look of joy and relief on his face.

The food shortage crisis in Wu County has been resolved!
With the food sent from Shuzhong, these refugees who are constantly coming from the Central Plains will not become an obstacle to Wu County. On the contrary, they can greatly speed up the development of Wu County through the "relief for work" method.

Zhao Yun acted cautiously and calmly as always, and the personal guards sent back in advance informed the news in time, which could be regarded as solving Li Ji's current big problem.

Today, the number of people gathered in the refugee camp in northern Wu County has exceeded 200,000.

Jian Yong was already so busy that he was almost exhausted, but he couldn't manage and control the flow of private business.

Refugees have begun to spread to the surrounding Dantu County, and various security incidents have begun to occur frequently.

As much as two hundred thousand...

Even if they are not soldiers, but refugees whose muscles are weak due to hunger, it is not something that ordinary people can easily control.

It can even be said that no one from top to bottom in Wu County, including Li Ji, has the ability to easily command 200,000 people.

If Zhao Yun's news is delayed for a few more days, in order to be on the safe side, Li Ji can only choose Zhang Fei to start a more high-pressure patrol to prevent the disorderly refugees from attacking the local people in Wu County, and will also go to the rest of Yangzhou first. The county has dispersed some of the refugees.

Now, as news continues to come from the Central Plains region, preliminary estimates of the impact of this natural and man-made disaster have been made.

This drought and plague have directly or indirectly affected more than three million people, and more than one million people have become refugees and have to flee in order to survive.

Among them, approximately 800,000 refugees are fleeing south.

And because Liu Bei had been absorbing refugees before and promoted the name of benevolence, almost all the refugees fleeing south were flowing in the direction of Wu County.

Therefore, the 200,000 refugees gathered in the northern part of Wu County can only be regarded as the beginning. There are more refugees slowly moving towards Wu County in Xuzhou, and there are also refugees in the Central Plains moving towards Xuzhou. Escape direction.

With the definite news from Yizhou, and the fact that Liu Zhang personally visited with 300,000 dans of grain and grass, Li Ji could make bold use of Wu County's grain reserves to make arrangements.

Immediately, Li Ji no longer hesitated and immediately prepared to launch a work-for-relief program.

And Liu Bei is not in Wu County, so Li Ji, who has mastered the governor's seal, the governor's seal, and the tiger talisman at the same time, almost controls the entire Wu County.

On the premise that a series of project plans had been prepared early, Li Ji also mobilized all counties in Wu County in advance to carry out a series of preparations.

Including Wu County, there are a total of 15 county seats in Wu County, and the county magistrates of all county seats were summoned to Wu County by Li Ji in advance.

The next day, Li Ji, who had been preparing for the whole night, summoned all the county magistrates to the government office for a meeting early.

Li Ji, who wanted to be arrested in two parts for a while, originally had no intention of talking nonsense to these county magistrates with complicated backgrounds and different abilities. When Li Ji and others arrived in the main hall, they glanced around and found that a county magistrate was missing.

Gu Yong, who was following Li Ji and responsible for some chores in the meeting, said.

"Magistrate Qiantang had a hangover last night and has not woken up yet. I have sent an official to call him at the post house."

(PS: No typo, this period was called Qiantang County, not Qiantang.)
"No need to scream."

Li Ji waved his hand, glanced at the many county magistrates below, and then spoke.

"How dare two hundred thousand refugees in the north have no food to eat, and they are ordered to wait for orders in the city at all times, so they dare to be drunk? Yuantan, take my warrant and go to the posthouse to pick off his official seal, and then hang his head in the city It will be shown to the public for seven days.”

In an instant, most of the county officials present turned pale almost instantly.

Some county officials who claimed to have connections in the county and were privately dissatisfied with Liu Bei and Li Jiduo felt cold sweat all over their bodies.

Among them, three or five county magistrates were so frightened that their hands hidden in their sleeves kept shaking. They were the ones who drank with the Qiantang magistrate last night.

As county officials, it is rare for them to meet each other, so it is inevitable to have some exchanges.

It's just that their drinking capacity is much stronger than that of Qiantang County Magistrate, so they arrived at the government office in time under Li Ji's order early.

Magistrate Qiantang, who had been hungover all night and still hadn't sobered up, seemed to be an unlucky guy.

However, there was also a county magistrate who took courage and said loudly.

"Jian... Lord Cheng, Qiantang County Magistrate's crime is not worthy of death. If he is killed on this ground, he may not be able to convince the public, and the people of Qiantang County will also be in panic."

Hearing this, Li Ji turned his eyes to the magistrate who spoke.

With just one glance, the county magistrate was so shocked that he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Li Ji.

"In a year of great calamity, as a county magistrate drinking and having fun, what's wrong with killing someone?"

Li Ji asked back, causing the county magistrates present to turn pale.

If this was the reason, if three of the fourteen county magistrates present were chosen to kill one at random, none of them would have died unjustly.

As for which county magistrates gathered together to drink last night, Li Ji still doesn't know?

Even what some county magistrates said when they were drunk were clearly recorded by Jin Yisi and handed over to Li Ji.

"Are you the magistrate of Yuhang County?"

Li Ji looked at the magistrate who spoke.

The county magistrate responded quickly. "This official is the magistrate of Yuhang County."

"Yuhang is a good place, but what you said last night is a bit unfair to the people of Yuhang, right? The three girls of the Zhao family are only fifteen years old, and you took them as your fifth concubine. You also boast of being a man seven times a night. Isn't it a bit rude? Already?"

Li Ji said something meaningful, and every word seemed to hit the Yuhang County Magistrate deep in his heart, making his heart and soul feel shocked.

Why did Li Ji know so well what was said while drinking last night? Even the tone of voice seemed to be quite similar, as if he was listening to the whole process.

For a moment, the other county magistrates were so frightened that they lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Li Ji.

As for the handsome magistrate of Yuhang, who boasted of being a man seven times a night, he was sweating profusely, and he spoke tremblingly despite his strong physique.

"Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, you must be aware that... those are all just bragging. I only took less than seven breaths in one night, not... no seven times."

"Oh, that's it."

Li Ji nodded, then turned to look at Gu Yong, who was still standing next to him, and asked.

"Why don't Yuan Tan go?"

Gu Yong, who had been waiting for Li Ji to decide the outcome with the county magistrates to avoid affecting himself as the executor, asked in a pretentious manner.

"Your Majesty, the head will be hung at the city gate for seven days, but where is the body?"

"Wasn't the Yuhang County Magistrate just now worried that Qian Tang would make people panic? Then the body will be sent directly to Qian Tang and hung at the city gate to shock people."

Li Ji said calmly, but it was like thunder in the ears of many county magistrates.

brutal!

How cruel!
After a pause, Li Ji looked at the vacant seat reserved for Magistrate Qiantang and said.

"In addition, Yuan Tan went to see if Xu Wen, the prime minister of Qiantang County, had sobered up. He is the new magistrate of Qiantang County. Ask him to come to the government office as soon as possible to obey his orders."

"Yes."

Under the awe and fear of many county magistrates, Gu Yong mobilized a group of county soldiers with Li Ji's order, and then left the government office directly in the direction of the post house. (End of chapter)
