Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 196: Clear the clouds and see the sun

When Liu Zhang came to visit, Li Ji seemed to take Liu Zhang to eat, drink and have fun every day. In fact, Liu Zhang was completely unaware that Li Ji had secretly tested him thousands of times.

Now Liu Zhang's rise is entirely due to the sense of crisis in wanting to inherit the family business with his three elder brothers.

In fact, Liu Zhang had no ambitions at all, and his ambition was limited to inheriting Liu Yan's family business.

As long as Liu Zhang inherits Yizhou, Liu Zhang will only continue to sink deeper and deeper in Yizhou, which seems to be completely unaffected by troubled times.

Therefore, what Liu Yan saw from his perspective was a plan to tear apart the earth and seal the king, waiting for the right time to conquer the world.

But from Li Ji's point of view, that is to use Yizhou as a target to attract the attention of the emperor and the court, and to truly build Yizhou into a comfort zone cage, and to use Yizhou as a cage to trap Liu Yan and his son for their entire lives. .

When the time comes, Liu Zhang, as the household dog, should welcome Liu Bei, his master, into Sichuan.

When Li Ji received the letter from Yizhou, which stated that the next 300,000 tons of grain would be mobilized and sent to Wu County within two months, he couldn't help but smile.

Six hundred thousand dans of grain is enough to completely make up for the grain gap estimated by Wu Jun, and it also leaves enough redundancy.

"At this point, the food problem has finally been solved. As long as we survive this year, Wu County will be completely free from the shackles of food."

Li Ji couldn't help but feel a little more expectant in his tone.

Even though there are still refugees on their way to Wu County, Li Ji already has the feeling of "pushing through the clouds and seeing the sun".

Nowadays, all affairs in Wu County have gradually returned to the right track. The influx of a large number of refugees has also brought vitality to the originally sparsely populated Wu County in a sense.

In addition, water conservancy projects are being built almost everywhere in Wu County. It looks like it is in full swing, and there is a feeling that it is about to transform and take off.

The entire new framework of Wu County has been completely built by Li Ji, with a large number of "temporary workers" scholars as the skeleton, the refugees who poured into Wu County as the flesh and blood, and sufficient food as the blood that drives the scholars and refugees forward. Then the good operation of "relief for work" was maintained.

The follow-up problem is to continue to absorb scholars and refugees into the "relief for work" system within the scope that food can support, and finally completely transform Wu County into what Li Ji wanted. shape.

And as Wu Jun really got on the right track and could operate well, Li Ji's workload suddenly dropped a lot, and he was able to return to the time when he was on duty and could occasionally wander around the government office with a pot of tea. stage.

Especially the occasional training with Gu Yong made Li Ji seem to have found a different kind of fun.

"Hmm, Yuan Tan has made great progress and is now quite experienced in handling government affairs."

"This won't work. We must provide as much meat as possible to the laborers. There is no need to worry about the reserve problem. The most urgent task must be solved first..."

"Suck, that's good tea. Would you like some Yuan Tan?"

"Yuan Tan, your hair seems to have become thinner recently..."

Finally, Gu Yong, who was always the best at pretending to be confused, became completely red-tempered.

If Li Jiji laughed at Gu Yong and told him to take care of his liver and kidneys, Gu Yong would just smile and think that he could persist for a quarter of an hour without any problems in this regard.

But the hair volume issue, this can be said to be a key point for Gu Yong!

Recently, Gu Yong found that his hair volume... dropped sharply. When Li Ji mentioned it again, it can be said that it suddenly hit Gu Yong's heart.

Even Li Ji was kicked out of the main hall by Gu Yong.

Of course, Li Ji can still tolerate his subordinate Gu Yong's little temper.

After all, Gu Yong was only sixteen or seventeen years old, in his prime, so it was understandable that he would be irritable because of his hair loss.

But as Wu County's internal system got back on track, Li Ji was suddenly liberated from the busy official duties that seemed to be endless, and he was really at a loss for a while.

Even Gu Yong can't play with it...

Suddenly, Li Ji felt a little contempt for himself in his heart. It was not that he despised his bad taste in teasing Gu Yong from time to time, but that he actually thought he was too idle.

Isn't this just a sign that there are no emergencies in Wu County?
In fact, Li Ji is not the kind of person who is involved in everything, big or small. He prefers to delegate power to the people below him.

Only when there are major changes that affect the development of Wu County, Li Ji will exercise his right to speak in order to avoid accidents.

The more leisurely Li Ji is, the smoother the development of Wu County can only be.

It's just that except for Gu Yong, all the other officials in the government office are very respectful to Li Ji.

And after experiencing the whipping of postal supervisor Zhang Fei and the cutting off of Liu Bei's hair as acting head, Li Ji's prestige in the Wu County bureaucracy can be said to have been further improved.

Wherever Li Ji went in the government office, officials, big and small, almost subconsciously tensed up, fearing that something would go wrong or Li Ji would be dissatisfied.

This made Li Ji wander around the government office again in the name of inspection, but he couldn't find any faults.

Facing the awe and admiration eyes of the officials, Li Ji couldn't help but put the teapot in his hand into his sleeve, and nodded slightly in response to the greetings.

For a moment, Li Ji even felt that his leisurely self was a little out of place with the still busy atmosphere inside the government office. Immediately, Li Ji, who took a short walk to stretch his muscles, returned to the side hall that had almost become a private cabin for Liu Bei and Li Ji. Then he picked up a volume of military literature and read it carefully.

And when Li Ji was immersed in the book, time flew by unconsciously.

When it was time to go off duty and all the officials in the government office dispersed with tired faces, Li Ji left the government office and sat on the carriage in high spirits.

The groom on the carriage was a rather strong young man. After carefully helping Li Ji get into the carriage, he asked respectfully.

"Sir, are you going home?"

This young man looks unattractive and wears loose linen clothes, but in fact he is by far the most outstanding person in martial arts among the Taoyuan people. He was named Liu Wu by Liu Bei.

In order to protect his own safety and to put himself under the supervision of Jinyi Division, Liu Wu naturally became the groom of Li Ji's house.

Although Li Ji's influence on Jin Yisi can completely prevent him from being under the surveillance of Jin Yisi, Li Ji will naturally not seek such privileges.

Li Ji did not expect that Jia Mu would fanatically respect him and secretly rebel against him, so he took advantage of the situation and made Jia Mu a member of the Jinyi Division to monitor Jia Xu.

In contrast, Li Ji never thought about letting himself out of Jinyisi's protection and surveillance.

Li Ji never had any intention of rebellion, so there was no need to do things that would make the emperor and his ministers suspicious.

Perhaps, when Li Ji, who was a gangster, followed Liu Bei at the beginning, he did not miss the idea of ​​wealth. But after he truly reached his current position, wealth, something that is easily available, was no longer Li Ji's pursuit.

And even if Jia Xu realizes that Jia Mu is a member of the Jinyi Division, Jia Xu, who is well versed in self-preservation and human nature, will understand that this is a good thing for him.

Only when the person closest to you has the Lord's eyes can it be easier to gain the Lord's further trust.

More importantly, even Li Ji arranged for himself to be supervised by the Jinyi Department. How could Jia Xu have any objections?

In fact, with Jia Xu's wisdom, he would have expected that since there was an intelligence agency like Jin Yisi, it would be impossible not to place eyes around him.

What Jia Xu might not have expected is that those eyes were none other than his son.

These thoughts flashed through Li Ji's mind. After sitting firmly in the carriage, he answered Liu Wu's inquiry and said.

"If you don't go back home, go to Rende Academy."

"Yes, sir."

Liu Wu kept the honorific title he had given Li Ji in the past and steadily drove the carriage out of the city towards Rende Academy.

Li Ji, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain and observed the situation along the way.

It has been several months since the announcement of the establishment of "Ren De Academy" and the screening of the first batch of admitted scholars through the "military" and "political" processes.

The day when the "Ren De Academy" will actually start teaching classes is also approaching, and this matter is also profoundly related to Wu County's development and talent reserve.

It's a pity that Li Ji has always been busy with various official duties and has not been able to take time to pay attention to the current situation of "Rende Academy". He can only understand it through some reports from the Jinyi Department.

Now that Li Ji had some free time, he planned to go out of the city to see "Ren De Academy" in person.

Moreover, Li Ji was also very interested in the extent to which the Mi family had initially developed the "city without walls" that Li Ji had cooperated with the Mi family.

After leaving the city, Li Ji was somewhat surprised to see that there were many people coming and going in the direction of "Ren De Academy".

Among them, the scholars were the most dressed up, followed by the small merchants and hawkers doing some business.

During this period, merchants were not a lowly class in the true sense. Aristocratic families were allowed to do business, wealthy families were allowed to do business, and even ordinary people were allowed to do business.

For example, Liu, Guan, and Zhang initially had their own businesses, one selling shoes, one selling mung beans, and one selling pork.

It can be seen that the business atmosphere in this era is actually quite good.

But Li Ji was quite surprised when he looked at the small merchants and hawkers carrying burdens, and he knew that it was the city without walls promoted by the Mi family that attracted these small merchants and hawkers.

Although Li Ji's carriage does not have any markings, this carriage was given by Liu Bei, and its luxury and grandeur can be said to be the most luxurious in Wu County.

Therefore, naturally no one would look for trouble without knowing it. Instead, they would consciously give way to the road.

However, although Li Ji observed that the flow of people spontaneously maintained a good order along the way, as a county magistrate, Li Ji subconsciously realized that there were certain hidden dangers to public security.

There are county soldiers and government officials in the city, and Liu Bei attaches great importance to public security, so there are naturally very few crimes.

But outside the city, there may not be people who take desperate risks! (End of chapter)
