Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"How could it be? Ji Ke Shiwen Heru is a teacher, a close friend, a brother..."

Li Ji took the initiative to help Jia Xu sit down, and then pushed another cup of tea to Jia Xu and said. "Wenhe rinse your mouth and take a moment."

Jia Xu looked at the tea and immediately felt a change of color.

Li Ji added in due course. "This is the good tea I brought. Just drink it without worry. Wen He is not like me. I am a gentleman."

Jia Xu secretly spurned Li Ji, but without any doubt, he picked up the tea cup and took a small sip.

It was a familiar aroma, which made Jia Xu feel at ease and taste it carefully.

It was not without reason that tea and porcelain gradually became popular in Europe through the Silk Road.

Especially after people like Jia Xu were accustomed to drinking tea, even on the way to Yingzhou, the tea leaves were wetted by wind and waves, causing the tea leaves to become moldy and spoiled.

Jia Xu was so tired that he tried to dry the tea leaves and then brew them. The result was that he succeeded in making himself sick.

After a while, Jia Xu spoke quietly.

"I want half a pound."

Li Ji glanced at Jia Xu, knowing that Jia Xu loved making tea, how could he let go of the easy way to manipulate Jia Xu.

Immediately, Li Ji said in a very embarrassed tone.

"To be honest with Wen He, this is the last bit of tea, and Ji has been reluctant to drink it. It wasn't until he saw Wen He accidentally drinking the mold tea that he thought about taking it out for Wen He to rinse his mouth out."

For a moment, Jia Xu, who had always been particular about the image of a gentleman, couldn't help but roll his eyes spiritually.

Immediately, Jia Xu spoke directly and said. "I am sick."

"What disease? A disease that will lead to death if you don't drink tea?" Li Ji asked with a smile.

Jia Xu held his forehead and groaned once or twice, saying. "I drank moldy tea, and now I feel unwell and my thinking is sluggish. I'm afraid I have to go back to Wu County to recuperate."

"Would you like some tea?"

"It won't get better."

Li Ji asked again. "If you slowly brew a few tea leaves and rest, will you be able to recover?"

"It's still a lot worse," Jia Xu replied.

"At most three taels."

"It's still not enough to cure the disease, and there is a risk of recurrence at any time."

Li Ji said with a concerned look on his face. "Then it seems that the condition is critical. Ji will arrange a ship to send Wen He back to Youzhou to recuperate first. Don't delay your health."

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he spoke energetically. "Now that I think about it carefully, three taels can barely last for some time."

Li Ji smiled helplessly and turned to ask seriously.

"Now that Wen He's illness has been relieved a lot, can we get down to business?"

When Jia Xu heard this, he tasted the tea slowly and said.

"Zikun, before that, I have to ask Zikun first. Is the gold and silver mine real, or is it a fabrication?"

"Huh?" Li Ji.

"After arriving in Yingzhou and contacting the Gounu Kingdom, I secretly sent people to explore around the Gounu Kingdom and found that there was almost no gold and silver in the Gounu Kingdom. This is consistent with what Zikun said about gold and silver everywhere. There are different……"

After a pause, Jia Xu spoke with a bit of solemnity in his eyes.

"Yuanyang Yingzhou has depleted Wu Jun's money and food accumulation in recent years. If there is no benefit in the end, it may not only have a serious impact on Zikun's prestige within Wu Jun, it may even seriously hinder the lord's great cause."

Hearing this, Li Ji seemed to completely understand Jia Xu's approach in the Dog Slave Kingdom.

In a nutshell.

That is, Jia Xu is a wise and cautious person. He will not believe everything Li Ji says, but will have his own ideas and judgments.

When Jia Xu discovered that the Gounu Kingdom in Yingzhou was not only full of gold and silver, but was so poor that his crotch was wet, Jia Xu naturally judged that there was no need to waste a lot of money, food and troops in Yingzhou to completely control it.

Therefore, Jia Xu used a tactic to attack people's hearts and instantly caused civil strife among the dog slaves. The king and important ministers were both damaged, leaving only a young king. He also allowed the Han army to establish an excellent reputation here.

At this point, it is easy for the Han army to control the Gounu Kingdom. They only need to control and support the Gounu Kingdom so that it will not die at the hands of the Yamatai Kingdom.

In this way, we can inherit the Japanese kingdom and surrender to the Han Dynasty in the name of the Gounu Kingdom, and we can also make the Han army's expedition gain something in the bright and righteous way, without wasting unnecessary money, food and troops.

It can be said that Jia Xu's approach can be regarded as the least effort, and it allows Dahan and Wu Jun to gain relatively much.

The only ones who suffered were Beimi Gongda and Gougu Zhibeigou. These two were the actual leaders of the Gounu Kingdom, but they both died in internal fighting under Jia Xu's gentle manipulation.

No need for Jia Xu to explain in detail, Li Ji also figured out Jia Xu's thoughts and starting point in the blink of an eye, and then answered.

"But what if Yingzhou is really full of gold and silver mines?"

When Jia Xu heard this, he frowned unconsciously and looked deeply at Li Ji in front of him to confirm whether Li Ji was so persistent because of his youth, vigour, and good face.

However, what caught Jia Xu's eyes was Li Ji's elegant and gentle expression, without any trace of the desperate feeling after the original plan was ruined. "Zikun, are you joking?"

However, Jia Xu still didn't believe it.

How could the Japanese living here not know whether there were gold or silver mines in Yingzhou?
But even if there are gold and silver mines in Yingzhou, even the Japanese don't know about it. How did Li Ji, an outsider, know about it?

This is illogical!

Jia Xu would not believe anything illogical.

"Wenhe only needs to give me three months, and I will find the location of the gold and silver mines in the Gounu Kingdom." Li Ji replied in a very confident and calm tone.

Li Ji may not even know whether there are any undiscovered gold or silver mines in the Central Plains.

Coincidentally, because he had played a certain series of Yingzhou games in his previous life, in which a large number of gold and silver mine locations were set as resource points based on reality, this actually made Li Ji familiar with Yingzhou gold mines and silver mines. The location of the mine is well known.

Even under the vicissitudes of life, the topography will be different, but with the general map of Yingzhou, Li Ji can delineate the general scope, not to mention that all of them can be found, but the gold that is currently suitable for excavation will be It is not difficult to find half of the silver mine.

Petroleum, which attracts mold...

Gold and silver will undoubtedly attract the Han army, who "all the sun and moon shine on is Han soil", to come and dig for their own gold and silver.

Jia Xu, who knew Li Ji well, almost confirmed this time that Li Ji was definitely not joking.

However, Jia Xu still asked with some worry. "Zikun, are you really sure that the gold and silver mines in Yingzhou are worthy of war?"

Li Ji thought for a while, then came up with an idea that made Jia Xu's heart beat faster, and said.

"One thing is certain. Once all the gold and silver mines in Yingzhou are excavated, the entire Han Dynasty and even ordinary people may have the opportunity to use silver as currency."

Today's Han Dynasty undoubtedly uses copper coins as currency, while gold and silver exist as valuables with higher value.

But this does not mean that the big Han people do not value gold and silver. On the contrary, no one among the big Han people can refuse the luster of gold and silver.

Even when motivating soldiers in the army, it is never about how much money the reward is, but how much gold it is.

Especially with the political chaos and turmoil, the purchasing power of copper coins often fluctuates, but the purchasing power and value of gold and silver have always been as stable as Mount Tai.

Therefore, the Han Dynasty is extremely short of gold and silver!

Wu County is even more lacking!

As long as there is enough gold and silver, even if the Yuan family has hundreds of years of accumulation, it will still be far inferior to Liu Bei's "mine at home".

Whether you want the rapid development of the Liu Bei Group or the massive development south of the Yangtze River.

Gold and silver in one hand, grain in the other, both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be strong.

And a large amount of gold and silver is indispensable in Li Ji's eyes to further rebuild a more complete monetary system among the Han Dynasty in the future.

This time, Jia Xu pondered for a long time, then filled himself with a tea cup, raised it towards Li Ji, and said.

"If this is really the case, then I have made some decisions on my own. I will punish myself with three cups!"

Jia Xu really drank one cup after another. Looking at Li Ji, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly unconsciously, but he still chose not to expose the idea that Jia Xu simply wanted to be a "tea thief".

At the moment, Li Ji is the two most valued counselors in the entire Liu Bei Group.

One is Guo Jia, a wine Mengzi; the other Jia Xu is a tea Mengzi.

It's the same thing as one person.

Immediately, after Jia Xu seemed to be completely satisfied with the drink, he continued to speak.

"If Yingzhou really has such a huge amount of gold and silver mines, it will not be easy to mine all the gold and silver..."

After a pause, Jia Xu, whose eyes moved slightly, added in his mind.

At least, as Jia Xu envisioned from the beginning, it is not enough to control the entire Gounu Kingdom just by controlling Beimi Gonghu.

Not to mention that Heimi Gonghu, who is only a puppet, does not have the ability to firmly control the entire Gonu Kingdom. No matter how prestigious Heimi Gonghu is, he cannot control the greed of the middle and lower class Japanese.

As for Jia Xu's concerns at this moment, Li Ji naturally also considered it.

The greed of human nature cannot be controlled by an order from the king. It will inevitably make the Japanese unable to control their hands and reach out to the gold and silver belonging to the big man.

Therefore, even when diamonds are dug in Africa, they are often not supervised by law, but by whips and assault rifles.

However, that problem is a little longer.

A smile appeared on Li Ji's face, he spread the Yingzhou map he had obtained from Gan Ning in front of Jia Xu, and said.

"No matter what, the first step is to unify Yingzhou!"

"Control all the top and bottom of Yingzhou, and implement a closed country, prohibiting even one Yingzhou flat ship from leaving Yingzhou, to prevent the spread of information about the large-scale gold and silver production on Yingzhou in the future."

After all, Yingzhou is not far from Goguryeo, and fishermen on both sides occasionally come into contact. Otherwise, there would be no Goguryeo people who could speak Chinese and Japanese at the same time. (End of chapter)
