Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

By the time Li Ji had begun to arrange the tasks of the minor officials and scholars, it was already sunset.

As for Jia Xu, who followed Li Ji throughout the whole process and acted as an invisible person, there may still be some scholars who don't understand the meaning of "relief with work", but Jia Xu who was listening in fully understood how Li Ji resettled the refugees. ideas.

When Jia Xu accompanied Li Ji back to the tent assigned to Li Ji, Jia Xu couldn't help but ask. "Zi Kun is indeed a great talent. Did this method come from "Yan Zi Chun Qiu"?"

If it were the past, Li Ji really didn't know what Jia Xu was referring to.

However, in order to guard against someone who is obsessed with Spring and Autumn, Li Ji is now very familiar with the classics related to "Spring and Autumn".

"Working for relief" was first recorded in "Yanzi Chunqiu": When the people were hungry, Yanzi asked him to provide millet for the people. Rather than interesting. In three years, the platform was completed, and the people were invigorated. Therefore, the pleasure of traveling is the pleasure of traveling, and the satisfaction of the people is food.

As for Li Ji's modest smile and silence, Jia Xu said with emotion.

"In order to save the people, Yanzi asked the victims to work hard to build a high platform for Qi Jinggong to enjoy. After three years of repairs, the victims could survive the disaster years."

"When I read the "Yanzi Chunqiu" about this matter, most of the people who lamented it were that Qi Jinggong was greedy for pleasure and despised the victims, and regarded pleasure as higher than the interests of the people."

"I don't want to, but in Zikun's eyes I see the strategy of governing the country. I am far inferior to Zikun."

It was the first time that Jia Xu admired him in person, and Li Ji couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

After all, "relief for work" comes more from the experience of later generations. Li Ji just looked at it from the perspective of later generations. He really did not realize the principles of governing the country from "Yanzi Chunqiu" as Jia Xu admired. Policy.

However, Li Ji had no way of explaining this, and the form of "relief through work" indeed first appeared in "Yanzi Chunqiu".

But in a sense, this is also a good thing for Li Ji.

Policies that are completely out of date may not be accepted by others.

However, policies based on the classics of sages will not only not be questioned, but will be praised and praised. This is evident from Jia Xu's reaction.

Smart people sometimes just tend to figure out some details on their own.

Moreover, in the future, as the same monarchs, they both "relief with work". Qi Jinggong did it for pleasure, while Liu Bei did it for the development of water conservancy. Comparing each other, it became more obvious that Liu Bei was more benevolent and caring for the people than Qi Jinggong. This Undoubtedly, it is once again adding bricks and stones to the high ground of publicity.

It should be noted that if you don’t occupy the high ground of public opinion and propaganda, others will naturally occupy it.

When Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence has completely become the subconscious mind of everyone in this era, a large number of leading parties will naturally be born within the hostile forces without having to take action personally.

Of course, the real troubled times have not yet come, and it is too early to say this, but counselors should be far-sighted and accumulate advantages in all aspects early...

These thoughts flashed through Li Ji's mind and he said.

"Wenhe is too praised."

Immediately, Li Ji invited Jia Xu to stay on the bed, and then checked the tea in the tent and found that it was the roasted tea he usually likes to drink.

"Xianhe is really thoughtful." Li Ji sighed with emotion.

Jia Xu watched Li Ji elegantly and skillfully start to boil water and make tea, and replied casually.

"That was probably Xianhe's own tea. It's just that Xianhe probably didn't have time to make tea until he got here, so he must have had some sent over when he arranged the camp for Zikun."

Listening to Jia Xu's slightly teasing voice, Li Ji smiled helplessly and said.

"Jia Wenhe, you really have no heart! Xianhe has good intentions after all, but you are just gloating about his misfortune."

"please!"

As Li Ji spoke, he poured a cup of fragrant tea for Jia Xu.

The slight scent of tea made Li Ji's tired spirit slow down a lot.

"Sigh~"

Jia Xu took a sip of tea, tasted it carefully, and said. "As expected, the tea made by Zikun is even better."

"My lord brewed it, Wen He generally has to praise it for drinking five points." Li Ji said with a smile.

"that is not……"

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and replied. "The tea my lord brews must be at least seven points."

After saying that, Li Ji and Jia Xu both looked at each other and smiled.

Perhaps, there is a big age difference between Jia Xu and Li Ji. Li Ji is not yet twenty, but Jia Xu is already nearly forty years old.

However, among the Liu Bei Group, Li Ji and Jia Xu were rare acquaintances.

Of course, both Li Ji and Jia Xu disagree that the point of mutual understanding lies in "gentleman" and "poisonous tactics", which are entirely based on the other party's ability.

After a little leisure time for tea tasting, Li Ji continued to add tea to Jia Xu and spoke. “Once the work-for-relief program is implemented, a large number of laborers gathered in the refugee camps will be able to play a role. Each scholar will lead a large number of laborers to different areas of Wu County for water conservancy development.”

"At that time, after the water conservancy development comes to an end, those laborers will bring their families to settle down in the local area, and they will be engaged in developing water conservancy for the local area, and they will be more easily accepted by the local people."

Jia Xu nodded and said.

"Work-for-relief is naturally a good strategy, but Zikun should have considered the problem of food consumption, right? Wu County's current food alone may be insufficient, and Zikun should have already taken countermeasures."

"The food is on its way." Li Ji said with a smile.

"Xuzhou?"

Jia Xu frowned and reminded. "No matter how proud my lord is, it is impossible to lend much grain from Xuzhou."

Li Ji shook his head and pointed to the west.

Jia Xu's expression condensed for a moment, his eyes flashed with thought, and he quickly locked on where Li Ji was pointing and said. "The only place to the west of Wu County is Jing and Yizhou, and both can quickly transport grain along the Yangtze River to Wu County."

"It's just that the internal struggles between the aristocratic families in Jingzhou are serious and the situation is complicated. It's extremely difficult to persuade the aristocratic families to borrow food."

"As for Yizhou... the new Yizhou Shepherd Liu Yan is not a kind person. He proposed the 'State Shepherd Policy' and other plans that will cause endless harm. Liu Yan's heart is either stupid or poisonous. How can he be willing to borrow food for the people? "

At the end of the sentence, Jia Xu's tone became a little more suspicious.

However, a look of uneasiness flashed across Li Ji's face. Being told to his face that the "State Animal Husbandry Policy" was a plan that would cause endless harm was different from being pointed in the nose and scolded by Jia Xu as either stupid or poisonous.

Moreover, it was difficult for Li Ji to explain that the "state pastoral policy" was proposed by him to exchange interests with Liu Yan. In exchange for Liu Yan's full support for Liu Bei, Liu Bei truly had a usable army to go south to conquer the Yellow Turbans. of.

The only people who knew about this matter were Liu Yan and Li Ji. Even Liu Bei did not know the details at all. He only thought that Li Ji persuaded Liu Yan to support the conquest of the Yellow Turbans with his smooth tongue.

"Wen He doesn't need to worry too much about food. There are only two things I'm worried about now."

Li Ji said something leisurely, but at this moment Jia Xu seemed not to hear it at all, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and looked down at the tea leaves swirling in the cup.

Can't hear...

Don’t q…

If Li Jishang is worried about something, it is definitely not an easy matter.

If Jia Xu hadn't realized that running away was useless, he would have run away from the camp long ago.

However, Li Ji seemed to be unable to see Jia Xu's silent rejection. Jia Xu did not answer, and Li Ji continued.

"With the establishment of water conservancy, Wu County's arable land will increase dramatically. However, Wu County's local cattle are far from enough. Reclamation by manpower alone... is difficult and difficult!"

"Even if there is water conservancy and fertile land by then, I am afraid that the efficiency of people's farming will be quite low."

Li Ji's brows almost furrowed when he mentioned this issue.

It can be said that cattle farming has been throughout the five thousand years of farming history in China, and its importance is self-evident.

The availability of cattle will have a great impact on the efficiency of people's farming, and sufficient cattle can also promote the further liberation of the labor force.

Otherwise, in this era when the average person needs to cultivate more than 20 acres of land to ensure that they can support themselves in the coming year after paying taxes, relying entirely on manpower alone, the common people have to immerse themselves in the fertile fields almost every day, and there is not much time to talk. .

Previously, Li Ji's plan was to gradually develop Wu County's water conservancy, gradually increase Wu County's fertile land, absorb refugees bit by bit to increase the population, and then slowly purchase farm cattle through various channels.

However, the plan obviously did not change quickly.

As long as "relief for work" is successfully implemented, Wu County's water conservancy will be nearly fully developed within a year, and countless refugees will be able to settle down in Wu County and own their own houses.

On the contrary, this suddenly highlighted the problem of cattle shortage, and it is also an urgent problem that can significantly improve people's livelihood.

However, this is undoubtedly a difficult problem, and it is even more difficult for Jia Xu.

Especially for this kind of problem of people's livelihood and governance, Jia Xu had no clue for a while. Instead, he recalled the delicious taste of beef, which was really delicious.

Unfortunately, in this era, eating beef is not a glorious thing, and even the government will often pursue it.

So no matter who asked, Jia Xu not only couldn't share with others how delicious beef was, but even insisted that he didn't eat beef.

Li Ji seemed not to notice the change in Jia Xu's expression and continued.

"Another question is that according to estimates from various sources, the number of refugees heading south towards Wu County through the Xuzhou Passage exceeds 800,000."

"This number is too much! The number of local people in Wu County is roughly the same. Even though the water conservancy development through 'relief for work' has greatly increased the land that Wu County can accommodate the refugees, this number is still too high. ”

It's not that there is a shortage of cultivated land in Wu County after water conservancy development, but that what Li Ji still needs to consider is the period between resettling the refugees and waiting for them to resume working and farming! (End of chapter)
