Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 189 Whipping the Postal Supervisor?

In Wuxian County, when the government officials came to take duty in the early morning, two breaking news shocked all the officials.

The county magistrate Li Ji has returned late last night, and the governor Zhang Fei has been thrown into prison and beheaded by Li Ji's order for violating the prohibition on alcohol.

Especially the latter news can be said to have made the officials look at each other in shock.

Among the entire Liu Bei group, there are three people whose status is obviously much higher than the other officials.

That is Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Li Ji, and this can be seen from their official positions and power.

Guan Yu held military power and was stationed in Fuchun Mountain; Li Ji was in charge of government affairs and had an overview of the overall situation in Wu County; as for Zhang Fei, as the postal supervisor, he was allowed to inspect various officials in Wu County.

These three people hold military power, political power and supervisory power respectively. They can be said to be the real core of Liu Bei's subordinates.

Now, as Liu Bei's sworn brother, Zhang Fei was actually imprisoned and prepared to be executed. This undoubtedly shocked many officials. While they began to be in awe of the various orders issued by Li Ji, they also felt that a storm was coming.

If there is a power struggle between Li Ji and Zhang Fei, it is likely that the entire Wu County will be divided.

It's just that unlike the worried officials in the government office who knew about the matter, Li Jida, who had rested in the government office last night, was in a high-spirited state. He summoned the officials in the government office early for a small meeting to explain the matter. After asking some questions, he left as usual.

Seeing this, Gu Yong and Mi Zhu quickly chased after Li Ji in the direction he left.

Li Ji looked at the two people who hurriedly followed and asked.

"Huh? Zizhong, what's the emergency for Yuan Tan?"

Mi Zhu grabbed Li Ji's wrist and said worriedly. "Mr. Zikun, General Zhang cannot be killed!"

"Exactly, I agree with what Zizhong said." Gu Yong also advised.

Hearing this, Li Ji glanced at Mi Zhu, and then looked at Gu Yong, who was obviously pretending to be confused.

Mi Zhu may be really worried that Li Ji will kill Zhang Fei, but Gu Yong is obviously pretending to be confused and shows his kindness to Zhang Fei by the way.

"Without rules, there is no circle, and without five tones, it is difficult to correct the six laws. If everyone violates the prohibition order like the postal governor and is not guilty, then wouldn't all the orders issued by the government become a joke? The former Qiantang County magistrate can be killed. The governor can also kill him!"

Li Ji said in a deep voice, and then interrupted Mi Zhu and Gu Yong before they could continue speaking.

"Zizhong, Yuantan, don't try to persuade me, I have already made up my mind..."

After a pause, Li Ji pointed his finger at Gu Yong and said. "At that time, Yuan Tan will still be responsible for supervising the execution!"

"Ah I?!"

Gu Yong was stunned and subconsciously pointed his finger at himself.

"Of course, didn't Yuan Tan handle the matter of the former Qiantang County magistrate very well last time? Yuan Tan should be in charge this time." Li Ji said with a smile, which made Gu Yong's face almost turn green. .

Finished!

You are pretending to be confused and something is wrong!

Not to mention that Gu Yong believed that Li Ji only wanted to use Zhang Fei to establish his power and had no intention of actually killing Zhang Fei. However, Gu Yong became the supervisor of the execution.

Afterwards, based on the relationship between Zhang Fei and Li Ji, Zhang Fei may not hold grudge against Li Ji, but Gu Yong, the supervisor of the execution, will definitely be taken care of by Zhang Fei.

Originally, Gu Yong was thinking of selling a favor to Zhang Fei so that the Gu family could get along better in Wu County. But now, he might have completely offended Zhang Fei.

Li Ji glanced at Gu Yong and shook his head helplessly.

The style of Gu Yong's family is still a bit unchangeable. As a civil servant, you want to take the opportunity to win over the generals and show their favor to you when you vaguely guess the inside story. What do you want to do?
Immediately, Li Ji didn't give Gu Yong and Mi Zhu a chance to say anything else, and headed straight outside the government office, preparing to rush to the shipyard.

As the focus of a series of subsequent developments in Wu County, the shipbuilding workshop has a lot to do with it. Today, there are more than a thousand craftsmen placed in the shipbuilding workshop, which is close to more than 90% of the craftsmen in the entire Wu County.

Therefore, Li Ji also had a series of ideas that he needed to communicate with some craftsmen personally, and guided those craftsmen to make something based on Li Ji's ideas.

Paper, plows, sun salt, and all kinds of fishing equipment that Li Ji knew...

Communication of these things through text may not necessarily achieve the same meaning, so Li Ji thought over and over again and decided to rush to the shipbuilding workshop to have face-to-face and in-depth communication with the craftsmen to avoid any major deviations.

In order to facilitate communication, Li Ji specially drew a few sketches from memory last night and took them to the shipyard.

In addition, the docks intended for fishing also need to be located as soon as possible and built bit by bit. We cannot wait for the fishing boats to be built, and end up with no suitable docks to berth.

Li Ji, who had had enough of horse-drawn carriages, chose to ride a horse this time, and headed straight for the shipbuilding yard under the escort of Zhao Yun.

Fortunately, the location of the shipbuilding yard is not too far from Wuxian County, only two hundred miles away. Riding a fast horse and setting off from Wu County early, Li Ji's equestrian skills were able to arrive at the shipyard before dusk, and by the way, he also had a meal of seafood that Sun Ce had brought back from the sea.

Ok?
Sun Ce goes to sea? !
Li Ji always felt that there was something wrong with a fleeting thought, but looking at Sun Ce's darkened skin, a bit of relief flashed in his eyes.

According to reports from the Jinyi Division who was stationed at the shipbuilding factory, Sun Ce was quite active in training every day.

Despite his young age, Sun Ce led a group of young men recruited from nearby and trained meticulously every day, and their agility could be said to have greatly improved.

While Li Ji was eating seafood, he listened to Sun Ce excitedly recount the interesting things during this period, and he felt a bit of nurturing fun.

After a period of adaptation, it was obvious that Sun Ce had fallen in love with the sea.

Immediately, Li Ji gave Sun Ce a few words of encouragement as usual, and then took a group of selected craftsmen to the shipbuilding workshop to communicate and discuss one by one.

However, Li Ji obviously did not have any advanced level of physics, chemistry or mechanics. Apart from some remembered pictures, most of what he could provide to the craftsmen were just general ideas.

After all, Li Ji couldn't even worry about passing the art exam every day, so how could he have time to study crafts and technologies suitable for time travel every day?
Even so, Li Ji discussed with a group of craftsmen until late at night, and only then did he initially let the craftsmen understand his thoughts and ideas.

Li Ji rested for the night in the shipbuilding workshop and got up early to visit the experimental ship that was about to be completed under the guidance of the craftsmen.

Previously, the shipbuilding factory's technology for building sea-going ships was entirely derived from the shipbuilding technology exchanged from various aristocratic families in Yangzhou.

The craftsmen need to use those drawings to build an experimental sea-going ship, so that they can slowly transform the technology on the drawings into their own, and then accumulate and transform the experimental sea-going ship into a ship that meets Li Ji's requirements.

The next most important transformation of sea vessels is undoubtedly the transformation of a number of giant fishing boats suitable for fishing, opening up Wu County's marine fishing industry, providing enough meat for Wu County's large labor force, and further alleviating Wu County's food pressure.

In addition, there are sea-going ships suitable for carrying cattle and long-distance sea-going ships in search of grain, which need to be built at a later stage.

If Wu County's food is now mainly used to maintain "relief for work", then most of Wu County's money is continuously invested in the shipbuilding factory, a gold-eating beast.

After Li Ji walked around the shipyard and secretly arranged for Gan Ning, Jiang Zhi and the Three Hundred Jin Sail Thief to be nearby, he hurriedly left and began to return to Wuxian County.

Although the shipbuilding yard is important, Li Ji's stay here is of little use.

With Li Ji providing the craftsmen with the ideas he could, there was nothing Li Ji could do to help. Professional matters could only be left to professionals. This has always been Li Ji's thinking.

But for a scholar like Li Ji, running back and forth was very rough.

When the town of Wuxian was within sight, Li Ji even dismounted from his horse and walked to relax his legs, which were sore from being rubbed.

Without the "Three Treasures of Horse Harness", Li Ji had to rely on his legs to hold the horse's belly to stabilize his body while riding on the horse, which was much more difficult than with stirrups.

It is precisely because of this that people who often ride horses in this era have almost no fat on their legs.

However, just as Li Ji walked slowly to the city gate, a fast horse rushed out of the city and passed by Li Ji quickly.

Li Ji looked at the familiar figure on the horse and couldn't help but said something in surprise.

"Ji Chang?"

Xiahou Bo also noticed Li Ji and Zhao Yun, and then he suddenly pulled the reins, turned over and dismounted, and the whole movement was extremely smooth.

This made Li Ji couldn't help but admire and said.

"Ji Chang's riding skills have greatly improved!"

It should be noted that in the past, although Xiahou Bo also knew equestrian skills, he was better at foot combat. Compared with Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others, his equestrian skills were far behind.

The equestrian skills that Xiahou Bo showed just now made Li Jidi admire him a little.

At least, Li Ji couldn't make such an emergency stop, and then he could turn over and dismount at the same time steadily.

However, Xiahou Bo's face was full of urgency and he ran towards Li Ji. He didn't even care about Li Ji's praise and said humbly.

"Mr. Zikun, I am about to leave the city to find you. Come with me quickly."

When Li Ji heard this, his face became solemn and he said anxiously. "Huh? But what's the emergency in the city?"

"That's right!"

Xiahou Bo said anxiously as he pulled Li Ji onto his horse with an anxious look on his face. "The Lord is whipping Zhang Duyou, almost to death. No one can stop him."

Liu Bei whipped the postal supervisor? !
This sentence seemed familiar to Li Ji inexplicably, but based on reality, Li Ji was unable to fully understand this sentence. (End of chapter)
