Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Naturally, Li Ji didn't know that Gan Ning's uncle was actually his true fan. Jinyisi's business had not yet developed to Yizhou, and he knew very little about Jiang Zhi.

After Li Ji had arranged the transportation of the 300,000 dans of grain and grass, and left Dantu County to return to Wuxian County, he learned from the information reported by Liu Yang that Gan Ning and Jiang Zhi had been discussing chart drawing. Then I learned that Jiang Zhi was actually a rare person who knew how to draw sea charts.

This is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Li Ji.

After all, nautical charting can be said to be an extremely unpopular miscellaneous subject in this era. It is not easy to find someone who knows how to draw nautical charts.

Li Ji's original plan was to return to Wu County and send someone to ask Cai Zhaoji if he had relevant books, and then find a way to temporarily train a few young people from Taoyuan people who knew how to draw rough sea charts, and then send those young people to go to sea with Gan Ning. .

Now, with Jiang Zhi's presence, this saves Li Ji a lot of trouble.

Different from the current situation where the entire Han Dynasty is basically unfamiliar with the sea, Li Ji understands that if there is any secret treasure in the sea, then the sea itself is undoubtedly a secret treasure that can be continuously exploited.

As long as the fishery is developed enough, the fish caught from the sea will be enough to feed countless people.

In the "relief for work" program, simple grains are not enough to supplement the daily consumption of young and strong laborers. Even army sergeants who want to undergo high-intensity training every day also have considerable appetite for meat. Require.

Food can fill you up, but if you want to really build up your strength, meat is essential!
However, the breeding industry in Han Dynasty is not developed, and Wu County currently does not have the conditions to raise chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on a large scale.

Therefore, fish has undoubtedly become the best choice.

There is endless protein in the sea!

The significance of drawing a nautical chart around Wu County is to quickly find out the area where fishing can be carried out quickly, and to formulate routes for subsequent large-scale fishing boats to avoid problems such as running aground on rocks and getting lost.

Just to develop a large-scale fishery among the big people who only have sporadic fishermen fishing along the coast, then Li Ji had to establish a complete set of corresponding configurations.

Li Ji had already prepared to transfer the first experimental sea-going ship from the shipbuilding factory to Gan Ning, who was asked to take the lead in sailing to the sea and draw a nautical chart along the coast of Wujun.

The subsequent shipbuilding workshops quickly transformed a number of fishing ships based on the experience of experimental ships, and concentrated the scattered fishermen in Wu County for large-scale fishing.

As for the various tools required for large-scale fishing, this is actually a small problem for Wu County today.

A large number of refugees moved south, allowing Wu County to quickly accumulate a large number of craftsmen.

In an era when black technologies like seismographs can be manufactured, you can despise the craftsmen for not knowing how to make steel, but they can use chromium lattice etching and chrome plating technology on the Yue King Goujian sword.

It can be said that often as long as these craftsmen are given a direction, they can give corresponding satisfactory results.

Still the same sentence: The bond between the nine clans cannot be underestimated!

The most troublesome thing right now is the other supporting things for the fishery.

Lighthouse, fishing pier, pickling place, road paving...

Needless to say, lighthouses, fishing piers, and road paving are all things that must be built.

Without a lighthouse, returning fishing boats would be a big problem.

The fishery wharf is naturally separated from confidential places like shipyards. You can't catch fish every day and unload the goods at the shipyard, right?
Therefore, it is also necessary to build a dedicated fishing pier again.

As for the pickling place, it is a helpless choice based on the times.

Perhaps everyone knows that chilled food is an excellent choice, and even making ice is not a difficult task for Li Ji.

However, the problem is not whether making ice is troublesome, but the limitations of transportation efficiency, which makes it meaningless to preserve fish catches even if ice can be made on a large scale.

If the chilled method is used, 150 kilograms of the 300 kilograms of goods that are basically transported by manpower must be ice cubes.

And even if this is the case, the ice cubes during transportation may not take long to melt, and the fish meat will quickly spoil.

Wu Jun has insufficient transportation capacity and low efficiency. How could Li Ji adopt the method that he took for granted.

Therefore, pickling and preserving has become the best choice.

Today, most of the refugees in Wu County are women who have no whereabouts, so the pickling work can be left to women.

The difficulty of transporting marinated fish is greatly reduced.

However, a lot of salt is needed during the pickling process...

The big man is short of salt and it’s expensive!

Although Li Ji knew that there was a lot of salt in the sea water, making salt privately was tantamount to rebellion, and it was something that required caution and caution.

After pondering for a while, Li Ji finished writing the plan for the promotion of a series of supporting facilities such as lighthouses, fishing piers, pickling places, road paving, etc. on the bamboo slips, and then wrote another secret order, preparing for the two and three craftsmen to follow it. Li Ji quickly developed the method of drying salt using the ideas he knew.

As for the actual construction of the salt farm, Li Ji immediately thought that it would be more appropriate for Jia Xu to be responsible for it later.

Moreover, before the death of Emperor Liu Hong, sea salt made from seawater was undoubtedly not allowed to enter the market. Li Ji was only prepared to use it for marinating fish in-house.

Li Ji, who was sitting in the carriage heading back to Wuxian County, was not only maintaining the "work-for-relief" program one by one, but also wanted to smooth out the matters that he wanted to move forward quickly. When he came back to his senses, he only felt that Feeling dizzy, I couldn't help but rub my swollen temples and shouted.

"Stop!" Immediately, the entire convoy heading back towards Wu County stopped.

Zhao Yun walked to the carriage and asked.

"Mr. Zikun, what's going on?"

"How far is it from Wu County?" Li Ji asked.

"It still takes about half a day to travel." Zhao Yun replied.

"Let's rest for a while before rushing on."

Li Ji said something, then lifted the curtain of the carriage and got out.

Although Li Ji's physique was much stronger than before, after sitting in a very uncomfortable carriage for a long time and being deep in thought for a long time, he seemed... motion sick.

Due to his image and face, Li Ji endured the overwhelming discomfort in his stomach and stood beside the carriage with a calm face, looking into the distance.

It's not that Li Ji doesn't want to move, it's that Li Ji doesn't dare to move, for fear that if he moves, he will be involved all over.

But Zhao Yun noticed Li Ji's livid face and expressed concern. "Mr. Zikun, are you really okay? Do you need to call the military doctor?"

"No problem, just some minor issues with the current situation."

Li Ji waved his hand calmly, and then looked around.

"This is about ten miles west of Piling County, right?" Li Ji said with certainty.

For a person like Li Ji who has a photographic memory, it is impossible to forget the road he passed while inspecting the Wujun water network before, and he can judge the problem he is facing almost instantly.

Li Ji thought for a moment and said. "Two miles west of here, I remember that this is where I planned a river channel that needs to be dug. Let's go and have a look."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun shouted to the cavalry guards guarding the surrounding area. "Second and third sons, bring the horses over."

"No, don't make too much noise, so as not to disturb the normal excavation progress. Just take a few glances from a distance."

Li Ji waved his hand and took the lead to walk towards the west.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun quickly followed with the sword on his waist to guard the carriage on the left and right, and ordered one team to stay in place to protect the carriage, while the other team followed far behind to protect it.

Two miles of land also does not require much foot travel for Li Ji.

But now that he got off the carriage and walked around, Li Ji felt that his original motion sickness had quickly recovered a lot, and his eyes were looking around him from time to time.

Soon, as Li Ji crossed a small slope, what came into view was a scene in the distance where thousands of people were digging river channels.

It was nearly June now, and the sun was already quite fierce.

Li Ji stood under the shade of the tree and felt quite stuffy. Most of the thousands of young and strong laborers below who were digging the river channel were working shirtless.

And in this era without heavy machinery, all we can rely on is manpower.

Li Ji never doubted the miracles that human power can create, just like the miracle of the Burma Highway, which was dug out of the Hengduan Mountains by 200,000 migrant workers, including the elderly, weak, women and children.

However, Li Ji looked at the thousands of young and strong laborers. There was no supervisor whipping them, but they hardly stopped and diligently followed the instructions of the scholars who were also running back and forth in the factory. Excavate in the required direction and depth.

Li Ji kept standing and watching until he saw a group of old and weak women and children preparing meals for them. The young and strong laborers were just resting and eating.

Even though the distance was extremely far, Li Ji could occasionally hear the hearty laughter of the group of young laborers eating and their expectations for the future.

When Li Ji came back to his senses, he suddenly found that his eyes were filled with tears for some reason.

"Mr. Zikun?"

Zhao Yun, who noticed Li Ji's condition, said softly.

Li Ji gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his index finger, and spoke with emotion.

"Grateful, hard-working and simple, they deserve a better life. They should live and work in peace and contentment instead of being displaced..."

"They didn't fail us, and we shouldn't fail them."

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this.

Although what Li Ji said was not grandiose and ambitious, what was revealed in those simple words was true benevolence, and it greatly touched Zhao Yun, who was also just a poor commoner.

"Yun, I am also willing to work hard to create a peaceful and prosperous world created by my lord and Mr. Zikun!"

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice, and even suddenly felt that some kind of belief was condensed in his heart, a belief that was more powerful than the blind loyalty in the past. (End of chapter)
