Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

However, since it is something that can be passed up through the Jinyi Department, the source must be clear, and it must have been ordered by Liu Bei or Li Ji personally.

'Is it the lord? '

After this thought came to Li Ji's mind, he reached out and opened the tied cloth bag, took out the cloth inside and opened it to read.

The next moment, as a beautiful and familiar font appeared in front of Li Ji's eyes, Li Ji suddenly realized that this was Cai Zhaoji's reply.

It's just that unlike Li Ji's letter, which was almost an official report, Cai Zhaoji's words and sentences revealed a touch of concern, and the elegant handwriting seemed to be able to directly read a bit of the girl's thoughts.

When Li Ji saw the sentence written by Cai Zhaoji [However, your letter is no different from an official document, there is no word between the lines whether you miss me], there was an inexplicable sweet and sour feeling in his heart, and even The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

It wasn't until a moment later that Li Ji suddenly came to his senses, his eyes widened slightly, and he murmured.

"I, am I being flirted with?"

Li Ji's fingers lightly traced the words on the cloth, but it seemed that he touched a bit of Cai Zhaoji's heart when he wrote this letter across distance and time.

A letter is worth a thousand pieces of gold...

Suddenly, Li Ji felt this feeling.

Perhaps due to the inconvenience of communication in this era, each letter is filled with heavy emotions.

Cai Zhaoji seems to be...the same.

Because I don’t know when the next reply will be, so even though I am very shy when I write the letter, I can’t help but express my affection in the words.

Li Ji savored this strange and pleasant feeling, even silently imagining how to reply to Cai Zhaoji in his mind.

"Zi Kun! Zi Kun!!"

Suddenly, Liu Bei's voice came from far to near outside the tent. Li Ji was frightened and subconsciously stuffed the cloth into his sleeves in a panic.

Just when Li Ji had just hidden the cloth, Liu Bei's figure full of joy and exhaustion opened the curtain of the tent and rushed in, saying.

"I haven't seen Zikun for many days. I miss Zikun very much..."

However, at this moment, Li Ji felt inexplicably astonished and panicked, as if he was almost caught by the teacher while handing out a love letter in class. He stood up and returned the favor to Liu Bei somewhat helplessly.

"Why did my lord come back so quickly without sending someone to notify you so that I could go and greet him?"

"Bei Zhizikun has been working very hard during this period. How can we bother Zikun to go out of his way to welcome him? The 'relief for work' is really a good strategy for governing the country. It can not only settle the refugees, but also manage and develop the Wu area. It's wonderful. Unspeakable.”

When talking about Li Ji's matter, the fatigue on Liu Bei's face seemed to be wiped away, and he talked non-stop with a spring breeze on his face, looking like a big man who was the best at Li Ji.

However, when Liu Bei was talking enthusiastically, he suddenly noticed the unexpected feminine cloth bag on the table filled with bamboo slips, and subconsciously reached out to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, Li Ji reached out to grab it first as if he was in a hurry, took the cloth bag and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"Zikun, what are you doing?"

Liu Bei blinked and made sure that he had read it correctly. It was definitely a cloth bag used by women.

And Li Ji, who had always been calm and calm, had a look of shame on his face at this moment.

Li Ji's moral bottom line is flexible, but it doesn't mean that Li Ji is usually a shameless person. If Liu Bei happened to break through and deliver a love letter, it would be a death for him.

And Liu Bei gradually came to his senses and asked.

"Zikun, um...isn't it a bit untimely to come here?"

Li Ji coughed slightly. It was naturally impossible for him to ask his lord to go out. His Excellency Rong Chen finished writing his love letter before coming in, so he could only speak bravely.

"No, my lord, you came just in time."

"Ok?"

"It just so happens that I have something important to discuss with my lord."

As Li Ji said this, his mind was almost racing as to what "important matters" it was.

Fortunately, the process of finding the answer is not difficult!
Especially now, the more Wu Jun continues to seek change, the more problems that need to be solved will arise in the process of change.

Immediately, Li Ji spoke seriously.

"Lord, if the 'relief for work' goes well, the water conservancy development plan planned by Fengji can be completed within one year, and it is estimated that up to 600,000 people will be resettled accordingly."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei almost instantly forgot about such trivial matters and said with an excited expression.

"In this way, it is really a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Lucky for the people, lucky for the land of Wu, and lucky for the great people."

Li Ji nodded and continued.

"My lord, even if the water conservancy development is completed, Wu County will have countless more fertile fields for cultivation, but it will be difficult for the people to cultivate and cultivate with their hands alone, and there is an urgent need for a large number of cattle."

This made Liu Bei, who was overjoyed, gradually frowning. Liu Bei, who was born in poverty, is not a "why not eat minced meat" kind of person, and Liu Bei's farming skills are quite good. He knows a lot about farming, so he naturally knows what it means to farm cattle.

Especially if new fields need to be cultivated, farming cattle is a top priority!

Liu Bei spoke in a deep voice. "The Preparatory Committee will try its best to contact merchants from all sides, spare no expense and food, and make every effort to purchase, so as not to miss the important farming event of the people."

However, Liu Bei also knew that in the land of Wu, the price of buying a few usable war horses was prohibitively expensive, let alone higher-value farm cattle.

It is simply a dream to purchase cattle from merchants to meet the needs of 600,000 people within one year.

It's just that even though Liu Bei knew that this was extremely difficult, he was not one to give up. Even if he bought an extra ox, it would benefit many people and make them full.

"My lord, in my humble opinion, my lord may write a letter to ask for help from his old friends in Youyan Land regarding this matter."

Li Ji reminded gently.

"Wars and disasters continue in the Central Plains, and it is true that cattle are increasingly scarce. However, the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not have much impact, and the two states are bordered by grasslands to the north, so all kinds of horses and cattle circulate frequently. It takes a year to slowly chart the situation. Unexpectedly Disaster."

Liu Bei nodded. As a native of Youzhou, he naturally knew that Li Ji was right.

Horse dealers like Zhang Shiping are not uncommon in Youzhou.

In other words, almost all horse dealers go to Youzhou and Bingzhou to engage in the business of reselling war horses to earn the price difference.

And maybe horses and oxen are rare things in other places, and there is not a fully-organized 3,000 cavalry team in Yangzhou.

But in Youzhou, Gongsun Zan could be so bold as to gather 3,000 pure white horses to form the "White Horse Yicon" to serve as the imperial guard simply because he liked white horses. You can imagine the huge gap.

"Zikun, it is indeed not difficult to buy and sell horses and cattle in Youzhou, but how to transport them to Wu County is a big problem."

Liu Bei said with a sigh, obviously aware of the difficulty of transportation.

"Did my lord forget the shipbuilding workshop?"

Li Ji said with a smile, then rummaged through the desk to find a bamboo slip and handed it to Liu Bei, saying.

"Lord, please look."

Liu Bei opened the bamboo slips and read them, and found that the information on them was about the shipbuilding factory.

With Wu Jun's unwavering support, the shipbuilding workshop was established at an incredible speed.

Especially during this period, Li Ji has been continuously selecting craftsmen from among the refugees to relocate to the shipbuilding factory, which has greatly improved the progress of the shipbuilding factory.

The people living in this land are very good at "mutual cooperation".

With enough manpower, all kinds of incredible miracles often happen.

Especially those craftsmen who could not escape from the Central Plains were so grateful to Liu Bei that they almost risked their lives in order to repay Liu Bei's grace of survival in this way.

Therefore, not only the shipbuilding workshop has been established, but also attempts have been made to build the first sea-going ship based on the ship drawings collected by Liu Bei.

"If everything goes well, it will only take three to five months to build the first sea-going ship for testing."

"Then after those craftsmen have accumulated a certain amount of experience, they can make certain modifications to the sea-going ships and transform them into sea-going ships suitable for carrying horses, cattle or various goods for trade to and from Youzhou."

When Liu Bei heard this, he felt excited.

Liu Bei also couldn't help feeling that Li Ji's way of governing the country was very calculated. The ship that originally only wanted to go overseas to find rice seeds and gold and silver mines actually solved a big problem at the moment.

However, only Li Ji knew how important the appearance of the sea ship would be.

As long as he fully grasps the advantage of the sea, Liu Bei, who seems to be occupying the land south of the Yangtze River, will actually be in a corner of peace, but in fact he has complete control over the long coastline of the Han Dynasty and can deploy troops anywhere in the Central Plains or the North at any time. Local landing.

"If that sea ship can really transport cattle as Zikun said, then I will contact my friends in Youyan Land and ask for help."

Liu Bei said with some joy.

"Then I'll trouble my lord." Li Ji cupped his hands and said.

Liu Bei was not ambiguous, and immediately stood up to say goodbye and left, hurriedly preparing letters to communicate.

After Liu Bei left, Li Jifang breathed a sigh of relief and took out the cloth bag and silk fabrics from his sleeves.

Immediately, Li Ji took out the small bamboo slip and drew a circle on the "cow" in the bamboo slip. Then he picked up the cloth and browsed it carefully again.

Inexplicably, I felt as if honey was flowing into my throat and moistening my heart.

However, when Li Ji thought about how to reply to Cai Zhaoji, this actually put Li Ji in a difficult position.

After pondering for a long time, I just wrote down one word - "think"!
Compared with talented women like Cai Zhaoji, Li Ji's literary quality is obviously not good enough, and he is a naked novice in writing love letters.

However, besides writing "thinking", what else can be written? (End of chapter)
