Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

The order formed spontaneously can be easily destroyed by those who do not abide by the order.

But without Liu Bei or Li Ji's order, not even Mi Zhu could mobilize a single soldier, let alone the Mi family.

Previously, Mi Zhu had to calculate the dispatch of massive amounts of money and food every day, so naturally he had no time or inclination to discuss such prepared details with Li Ji.

Immediately, Li Ji tapped the carriage three times, and the carriage stopped.

A person who was following the carriage not far away quickly walked to the side of the carriage and waited patiently.

A moment later, an order for mobilizing two hundred county soldiers to maintain order around Rende Academy was written and printed by Li Ji, and then handed to Jin Yisi who was waiting outside the carriage through the curtain.

"Immediately hand it over to Cao Zhaoyun, the thief under my command."

Li Ji said.

The member of the Jinyi Division carefully put the warrant in his arms, and then quickly left and returned to Wu County.

For Li Ji, mobilizing two hundred county soldiers to maintain law and order around Rende Academy was nothing more than a trivial matter. There was no need to wait until he returned to the government office tomorrow to make special arrangements. He could just issue a warrant.

Difficulty in governing has never been Lee's style.

After the member of the Jinyi Division who had received the warrant and left quickly disappeared into the crowd, Liu Wu looked around the surroundings with vigilance, and then steadily drove the carriage along the newly built official road to Rende Academy. And go.

As we got closer and closer to Rende Academy, it was already almost dusk, but the place was unexpectedly lively.

In the market, a large number of wine shops and teahouses were built around the periphery of Rende Academy. It had a bit of the feeling of a university town food street in Li Ji's impression. Groups of scholars gathered in wine shops and teahouses. Talking loudly.

There were many poor families among the scholars in this era, but the poor families were by no means blindly poor. They could be called middle-class families in this era. Otherwise, they would not be able to support the high expenses of the scholars' studies.

As for the scholars who come from aristocratic families, they are even richer!

Many small merchants and hawkers who were temporary guests from nearby people had obviously sensed the business opportunities. They were selling their own specialty snacks near various restaurants and teahouses, creating a noisy scene.

Compared with the city, which is about to enter curfew time, there is naturally no curfew here, and it seems more free and carefree. Therefore, it attracts a large number of scholars who would rather stay here than return to the post house in the city to rest.

And Li Ji sat in a carriage and circled around the outskirts of the initially established market, and found that many houses had been built around the market as a resting place for the scholars.

Although the environment of these residences is relatively simple, there is a sense that demand exceeds supply, and many residences are already listed as having no rooms.

Even though Li Ji had already had a brief understanding of it from Jin Yisi's report, seeing this lively atmosphere with his own eyes, Li Ji felt an inexplicable closeness to it.

There are many reasons for setting up the "curfew", and the benefits undoubtedly outweigh the disadvantages for the city, so Li Ji will definitely not cancel the "curfew".

However, for this "city without walls" in the blueprint, Li Ji did not intend to establish a "curfew".

And many scholars obviously couldn't resist the feeling of drinking wine, eating late-night snacks, and talking loudly with their classmates in the gradually falling night.

Even though the prices here are relatively high, they are obviously not within the consideration range of these rich brothers.

After a brief walk around, Li Ji was generally quite satisfied. At least during this period, even if Li Ji had no intention of paying attention to the "city without walls", the Mi family was indeed following the blueprint planned by Li Ji. The market was initially established step by step.

Just the daily consumption of these scholars is a huge amount.

And when the planning of the market continues to expand and the "Ren De Academy" has real students and starts enrolling, Li Ji can consider speculating on "school district housing" in this era, and in this way harvest through the scholars The wealth of wealthy families buried underground is almost moldy.

Wu County's daily money and food expenses are almost more exaggerated than those of a state. The shipbuilding factory and the work-for-relief program are almost like two gold-eating beasts, constantly swallowing Wu County's money and food.

Therefore, this market has become a rare source of financial resources for Wu County.

In fact, Li Ji looked at the lively and prosperous market in front of him, his eyes flickered, and he unconsciously hatched a crazier harvest plan in his heart.

However, that needs to wait until the "City Without Walls" has completely formed a scale.

Li Ji shook his head and put down the harvest plan that was far from perfect for the time being. Then he changed out of his official robe directly in the carriage and put on an ordinary blue uniform, and picked up a folding fan in his hand. He got off the carriage.

The most popular thing in this era was the feather fan. In the original trajectory, whether it was Zhuge Liang or Zhou Yu, they were actually dressed like feather fans and scarves.

It's just that Li Ji was not used to feather fans, so he made some improvements to the "waist fan", the predecessor of the folding fan that already existed in this era, and made it into a folding fan.

Unfortunately, the papermaking technology limited to craftsmen has not yet been successfully improved, so this folding fan made of multiple layers of paper is almost yellow and the creases are not obvious enough.

However, the temperature in Wu County has gradually warmed up now, and it is enough to fan yourself occasionally when traveling on weekdays.

Seeing that Li Ji seemed to want to go to the wine shop in person, Liu Wu quickly followed him and said. "Sir, please allow me to accompany you for protection."

Li Ji, who knew how Sun Ce died, would not be careless.

Even though there were still some Jin Yisi hidden in the dark, Li Ji nodded slightly to express his approval.

Liu Wu's military strength is not low, and he is a little stronger than ordinary second-rate generals on the battlefield. He is enough to serve as a guard near Wu County.

After all, Zhao Yun has many roles. Li Ji can't always take Zhao Yun with him when traveling, so he really uses Zhao Yun as a pure bodyguard.

Moreover, as far as Li Ji knew, his reputation was extremely loud around Rende Academy.

Jinyisi's report mentioned that almost all scholars who stayed around Rende Academy for more than a month would gradually divide into three categories.

Either they are those who admire Li Ji very enthusiastically; or they are disdainful of Li Ji; or there are those who seem to be jumping between the two.

So if something really happened and Li Ji raised his arms, he might have so many followers, so naturally there would be no need to bring too many guards.

However, before Li Ji walked a few steps, he saw a familiar figure in a teahouse nearby.

Xia Houlan!
And Xia Houlan, who was sitting in the teahouse and talking eloquently, had seven or eight scholars sitting in front of him.

Seeing this, Li Ji quietly entered through the side door of the tavern, and then found a seat behind Xia Houlan in the teahouse.

And seeing Liu Wu consciously standing between Li Ji and the door, vaguely blocking the possible assassination outside the door, Li Ji couldn't help but laugh.

"Sit down. There are quite a few Jinyi Divisions near Rende Academy. If anyone appears suspicious, they will have been monitored for a long time."

Immediately, Li Ji patted the seat next to him and motioned Liu Wu to sit down.

"I dare not sit with you, sir." Liu Wu said a little flattered.

"Don't say much, just sit down. You are the only one standing among the guests in the teahouse, wouldn't you attract attention?"

Li Ji chuckled lightly, and Liu Wu did not dare to disobey and carefully sat next to Li Ji.

And just after Liu Wu sat down, the waiters who were busy greeting the guests also brought stoves, tea sets, tea leaves, spices, etc.

Obviously, except within the government offices, the mainstream way of drinking tea in this era was still making tea, and it was also an elegant thing highly praised by many scholars. Otherwise, there would not be as many teahouses around Rende Academy as there were wine shops.

Although Li Ji was not used to the taste of tea, he still knew a thing or two about how to make tea.

Li Ji played with the tea set casually, enjoying this rare leisure time, and most of his attention was focused on what Xia Houlan and his group were talking about behind him.

"Brother Mingzheng, today you lost seven people in a row, and none of them broke through to the edge of the sand table. It can be seen that brother Mingzheng's level is really improving by leaps and bounds."

"That's right, that's right. During the third order, Brother Mingzheng almost predicted the opponent's troop movements in advance and completely blocked the opponent's march route. It was extremely wonderful."

"In time, Brother Mingzheng will become a master of military arts who is not inferior to Mr. Zikun..."

"Brother Mingzheng, I have gained some insights during this period. I intend to try the 'Four Crosses of Red Water' again tomorrow. Please be lenient, brother Mingzheng, and give me a chance to enter the 'Rende Academy'."

"This is a little thought of mine. Please accept it from Brother Mingzheng. It has no other meaning. It's just that I want to make progress too much and I hope Brother Mingzheng will make it happen. From now on I..."

Listening to the voice that was obviously lowered at this point, even though Li Ji was actually no more than ten feet away from Xia Houlan, he still couldn't hear what was said behind him.

However, Li Ji's expression remained calm as usual, and he poured the tea boiled on the small stove into the tea cup in front of Liu Wu. Liu Wu was flattered and quickly held the tea cup carefully.

"Be careful of the burn."

Li Ji smiled and reminded Liu Wu, which made Liu Wu feel warm in his heart.

However, Liu Wu, who was sitting on the side, naturally knew that Li Ji was paying attention to the movements of the table behind him. While observing secretly, he quietly reported in real time to Li Ji, who had his back to Xia Houlan and others.

"Sir, these are three gold cakes... I didn't accept them..."

Li Ji nodded slightly calmly, but was a little surprised by Xia Houlan's calmness.

After all, Li Ji asked Xia Houlan to preside over "Four Crosses of Red Water" to gain experience for Xia Houlan. The most important thing was that he could not find more suitable personnel for a while. (End of chapter)
