Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

During the period when the refugees are initially resettled in the fertile fields reclaimed after water conservancy development, and then the first batch of grain is produced in the fertile fields, those refugees also need funding from the government.

The refugees themselves had no food reserves. If the government did not support them until the first batch of food matured, then the refugees would also have no choice but to starve to death before the food matured.

The consumption during this period of time is also something Li Ji needs to consider, and it is also an extremely huge expenditure.

Therefore, Li Ji's calculations really fully developed the cultivated land in Wu County, and the number of people that can be accommodated is five times that of today, completely exceeding the current population of Runan County and Nanyang County of over two million. , reaching a population of about four million.

Moreover, based on the unique climatic advantages of the Jiangnan region, the grain produced in Wu County will be extremely abundant, truly approaching the ideal state of "when Taihu is ripe, the world will have enough".

However, based on the actual situation...

"Currently, Wu County can only accommodate up to 600,000 refugees to ensure that money and food will not collapse in the coming year. Therefore, at least 200,000 refugees need to be diverted to other counties in Yangzhou."

Li Ji told what the problem was, and then looked at Jia Xu who lowered his head in front of him and seemed to be unable to hear.

"Wen He, now I need to work for relief. I can only leave these two problems to you to solve. I think with Wen He's ability, I think we can solve it in a short time."

"You praise me too much..."

Jia Xu couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke.

"Zi Kun praises me too much. If I can give birth to a calf, I can also give birth to a few cows for my lord. But if I am asked to collect cattle for 600,000 refugees to cultivate the land in one year, how can I find them?"

Cattle, these things are scarce.

No matter which village in the Han Dynasty they were in, they were all treasures offered up by villages from all over the country.

If you go to the countryside to steal people, even if you are discovered, you can still be taken to see an official. But if you go to steal cattle and are caught, you will definitely be beaten to death.

If he wanted hundreds of them, Jia Xu could still think of ways to do it, but that would be a huge number needed for 600,000 refugees to farm the land.

Even if three hundred people share one cow and the cow is plowed until it foams at the mouth, it would still require a huge number of at least two thousand cows.

Can't do it!
There is no doubt that it can’t be done!

Jia Xu simply lay down and died. Anyway, he would never accept such an impossible task, lest there would be some pitfalls waiting for him if he couldn't complete it.

"Is there really nothing I can do?" Li Ji asked with a sigh.

"No way." Jia Xu replied.

"Even Jia Wenhe can't do anything?" Li Ji asked again.

"My ability is really limited and there is nothing I can do."

Jia Xu almost said this while lying down.

This made Li Ji's face look very sad. He stood up and walked back and forth in the tent, sighing again and again, and kept mumbling as if he was exhausted.

"So, what should we do?"

"In particular, most of the cultivated land will be cultivated for the first time. Without cultivated land, how difficult is it to cultivate good land by manpower alone?"

"It's hard to have fields but no cattle..."

……

Jia Xu was quite helpless when hearing these words read out in his ears.

However, considering various factors, this problem cannot be solved at all.

Perhaps, there would be a lot of cattle in the area near Beidi, but how could those cattle be collected and sent to Wu County?

Not to mention that bandits were rampant along the way, but there were huge herds of cattle at the checkpoints set up by the government along the way.

After layers of deprivation, they managed to collect one or two thousand cattle in the Northland, and by the time they reached Wu County, there were only one or two hundred cattle left.

Just when Jia Xu felt increasingly helpless and was about to say goodbye to Li Ji, Li Ji suddenly spoke.

"Oh, that's all. I will take my time to figure out the cattle farming matter. There must be a solution, so I won't force Wen He. But how can we find a way to properly resettle the two hundred thousand refugees in the other counties of Yangzhou? Wen He can Don’t let anything go wrong.”

Jia Xu breathed a long sigh of relief and answered subconsciously. "This matter is also quite difficult, but there may not be a way to solve the problem. Let me go back and think about it for a while."

"Don't worry, Wen He, the imperial court has ordered the resettlement of the refugees in Yangzhou, and ordered the Lord, who is the governor of Yangzhou, to supervise them." Li Ji reminded.

When Jia Xu heard this, his face suddenly relaxed and he said. "With 'righteousness' in hand, it will be much easier to handle. I have many ways to make those county guards take the initiative to ask for resettlement of the refugees."

"Then I'll bother Wen He."

Li Ji said something with cupped hands, and Jia Xu returned the gesture, and then left the camp with a heavy heart. After all, farming cattle is indeed a big problem, and it is related to the harvest of the entire Wu County after resettling the refugees in the coming year, which can be said to be of great importance.

However, when Jia Xu stepped out of the camp, a gust of smelly wind that was unique to the Liumin camp blew in.

Jia Xu suddenly came to his senses, slapped his thigh and shouted that he had been fooled!

"Li Zikun didn't want to leave the cattle farming matter to me at the beginning. He deliberately said so and then asked me to take the initiative to persuade the counties in Yangzhou to accept the refugees..."

"What a cunning Li Zikun, he was fooled!"

At this moment, Li Ji's hearty laughter came from the tent, without the sad look on his face just now, he said.

"Wen He, be careful on the road. After you hand over the distribution of food in the refugee camp tomorrow, you will go to other counties in Yangzhou as soon as possible to resolve the matter. Don't delay."

"Humph!"

Jia Xu had a sullen face, feeling that the depression Li Ji had deliberately pretended just now was completely transferred to his face.

It's just that now, Jia Xu obviously has no chance to regret it. Even if he returns to Li Ji's camp, he will only be greeted by a burst of heartier laughter.

Immediately, Jia Xu could only take a big step and leave directly, and transferred all his grievances to other county guards in Yangzhou.

And hearing the news of Jia Xu leaving, the smile on Li Ji's face in the tent could hardly be concealed.

For Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is natural to try their best to stimulate the generals; for Zhao Yun, he will explain it in detail so that he will not shirk his duties; as for Jia Xu...

Then you need to make a relatively excessive request first, and then tone it down a little and come up with a less excessive request, and Jia Xu will naturally accept it easily.

And Jia Xu, who has resentment in his heart, must be a little more diligent than usual, instead of pretending to be embarrassed like he is in a refugee camp, but in fact he is lying around fishing every day as a salary thief.

After Liu Bei gathered the hearts and minds of the people in the exile camp, Jia Xu's task in the exile camp was actually to secretly monitor and guide the internal public opinion trends, which was enough to avoid riots. It could be described as leisurely.

Remembering that Jinyisi often reported to Jia Xu that he stayed in the camp to drink tea every day, drinking tea until his stomach was bloated before wandering around the refugee camp. How could Li Ji endure such a leisurely life?

'If you can't display them all together, then everyone doesn't need to display them. '

Li Ji secretly thought to himself, and then took out his usual note-taking bamboo slip from his sleeve, and wrote the two characters "Geng Niu" on it, and then wrote "Sea Ship" under "Geng Niu".

Li Ji knew clearly the reason why Jia Xu refused to farm cattle.

With the level of darkness in the Han Dynasty, one of the pair of mandarin ducks passing through the level must be taken to the pot!
If you want to transport a large number of cattle across the border, you have to ask the emperor for an order. The emperor might have to take half of them first and send them to Huangzhuang for farming.

However, Jia Xu subconsciously considered it based on human nature and reality and couldn't figure out how to solve it.

But for Leakey, the answer already existed.

That's a sea ship!
As long as the number of sea-going ships at the shipbuilding factory reaches 10%, then it is completely possible to bypass the many checkpoints and reach Wujun directly from the North by sea. Even as long as this seaway is opened, Wujun's long-standing war horse problem will be completely solved.

Relatively speaking, Jia Xu felt that the simplest part of this problem, collecting cattle in the north, became the most difficult part for Li Ji to solve.

In addition, Li Ji also added the words "quyuanli" on the side of the plowing ox.

Nowadays, the Han Dynasty uses long straight shaft plows. Even Li Ji personally tried to use them in the fields. He found that the long straight shaft plows were inflexible in turning, difficult to lift, and relatively inefficient.

And Li Ji remembered that there was a kind of "curved shaft plow", and Li Ji also remembered the general structure and outline. He could completely hand over the concept to craftsmen to perfect, improve the long straight shaft plow, and then improve the efficiency of the oxen. Farmland efficiency.

However, Li Ji wrote all his considerations concisely and concisely on the bamboo slips to avoid any omissions in the future, but he did not rush to solve them, but took a rest early.

The most important thing now is always "relief for work".

Starting from tomorrow, Li Ji will need to direct the many petty officials and scholars to start selecting suitable young people from the refugee camps, and then start to divert the refugees in the refugee camps, and officially start "relief with work".

A large number of complex problems in all aspects need to be solved bit by bit by Li Ji.

Similar to an important but not urgent matter like plowing cattle, Li Ji just recorded it, pushed it back until he had free time, and then gradually implemented and solved it.

In the next three to five days, while Li Ji personally handled various important tasks in the refugee camp, he also personally visited the entire refugee camp to supervise and guide the scholars in selecting refugees.

Soon, groups of refugees left the refugee camp under the leadership of the scholars. The entire Wu County was running at high speed from top to bottom to cooperate with the start of "relief for work".

As groups of refugees left the camps one after another, the number of refugees inside the camps finally began to decline rapidly.

After all the scholars and petty officials selected the first batch of refugees suitable for "relief through work" to leave, the number of refugees in the entire refugee camp dropped to about 40,000 in a very short period of time.

This caused Jian Yong's pressure to plummet so much that he even slept for four hours in a row.

The remaining refugees are all alone, old, weak, women and children, and there are no young adults in their families who fled here together. Naturally, they are not suitable to participate in "relief for work". (End of chapter)
