Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 88: Rewarding Official Positions
  What words?

What words?

Jia Xu was not very happy when he heard this. What does it mean that I am more experienced?
  "It's the first time for me, Jia Wen, and Na to get on the sedan chair when it comes to plundering aristocratic families. Even if we had this idea before, it's mainly because we didn't have such a chance."

Jia Xu defended himself.

Li Ji groaned and followed the good path.

"In this case, it's not convenient for Ji to force Wen He's first time. I'll just go with someone else. If there is any evidence against Wen He left in those aristocratic mansions..."

Seeing Li Ji preparing to leave, Jia Xu quickly stopped Li Ji and said. "Wait a minute, Zikun, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I'll just go."

"Then leave it to Wen He."

Li Ji said with a gentle smile, then raised his feet and walked towards Liu Bei, who was surrounded by family members and crying.

Seeing Li Ji approaching, Liu Bei seemed to have found reinforcements and spoke quickly.

"Zi Kun, Zi Kun, listen to this. The bandits in Wu County are so rampant. In less than a month, more than twenty wealthy families were killed by the bandits."

Hearing this, Li Ji seemed to have a bit of shock on his face, but his tone was still calm. "Is this happening? Don't worry, my lord, let Rong Ji see what's going on."

Zikun?

Li Sanqian, who assisted Liu Xuande in fighting thousands of miles and defeated the Yellow Turban Burning Zhangjiao's think tank, and was praised by Lu Gongsheng as "there may be no one in the world who can rival him"?
  With this person here, there is no need to worry.

Suddenly, the family members present seemed to be infected by Li Ji's calmness, and their moods became much calmer.

"Li Zikun of Longxi, I have met all of you and would like to ask you what is the situation of bandits in Wu County?"

As Li Ji politely saluted many family members, the family members present also hurriedly returned the greetings, and then started talking one after another.

"Mr. Zikun didn't know something. First, Yellow Turban thieves came from the north to Wu County. Then, in order to ensure the safety of the local people, a large number of aristocratic families in Wu County gathered young and strong servants to wipe out the Yellow Turbans."

"Unexpectedly, the bandits in Wu County also took the opportunity to cause chaos and robbed the wealthy families wildly. So far, according to our statistics, more than twenty wealthy families have been killed by the bandits."

"The people of Wu County are miserable~"

"Please also ask Mr. Xuande and Mr. Zikun to give peace to the people of Wu County!"

……

As these family members spoke, their faces showed a mixture of fear and fear almost instinctively.

Li Ji took a panoramic view of it, but couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

'Most of them are old people who have lived their whole lives in Wujun. They are humble and fearful to the outside world, but majestic and inviolable to the inside...'

'I'm afraid they are all frightened now, for fear that they will be the next victims of the Yellow Turbans and bandits. '

In Li Ji's original estimation, Jia Xu's success in killing two or three people in Wu County was enough to scare the monkeys, forcing the Wu County family to rely on Liu Bei.

Nowadays, 70% of the entire Wujun aristocratic family is dead, which undoubtedly makes the only remaining aristocratic family members in Wujun feel like there is a sharp knife across their necks all the time.

"The thief is so brave!"

Li Ji drank sullenly, then turned to Liu Bei and cupped his hands.

"My lord, Wu County is far away from the Central Plains and is difficult to control by the court. I didn't expect the harm caused by bandits to be so serious."

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded with a very serious expression.

Li Ji said with some emotion.

"The wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, and the warriors are here to guard the four directions!"

"Bandits must be suppressed at any time. It is impossible not to suppress them. Let me ask you, we, the people of Wu County, plow the fields and sing songs on weekdays, but suddenly we are robbed and violated by bandits. How can we bear it?"

"And now, so many of the aristocratic families who are the pillars of Wu County have been killed. If we continue to delay, won't we have to kill them all?"

As soon as this statement came out, it could be said that it touched the hearts of the family members present, and they all nodded in agreement.

Li Zikun is indeed a wise man of the world known as "Li Sanqian", and he fully expresses the aspirations of people in the family.

On weekdays, I am the son of an aristocratic family, reading books, holding a beautiful concubine, and reproducing happily. Suddenly, I was robbed by bandits. How can I bear this?

"What Mr. Zikun said is absolutely true, the thieves must be suppressed!"

"Please also ask Mr. Xuande to quickly suppress the bandits. We will definitely give our full support."

"I would like to thank Mr. Xuande and Mr. Zikun here. I am so grateful that it is difficult to express in words."

……

And Li Ji raised his hands slightly, suppressing the angry voices of the family members present.

Then, Li Ji glanced at him, revealing a bit of seriousness and solemnity, and said.

"It's just that Ji suspects that there are people in the family who are connected with the Yellow Turban bandits. Otherwise, how could those bandits find the weakly defended family so accurately?"

In an instant, people in the aristocratic family subconsciously distanced themselves a little away from each other, and pairs of eyes full of suspicion looked around cautiously.

Most of the people in the frightened family did not consider this matter. But at this moment, Li Ji revealed the truth, which immediately made the family members present unconsciously suspicious.

In this way, Li Ji easily inserted a non-existent "wolf" into a group of sheep, making them suspicious of each other and making it difficult to unite. Then he asked.

"Are all the Wujun families here?"

"Families that have not been harmed by bandits, after being notified by Mr. Jia Wenhe who arrived in Wu County, most of them hurried over to welcome Mr. Xuande. Those who did not come, I am afraid that most of them were completely beaten by the bandits. harmed……"

After a pause, the old man who answered said something gloomy. "Or maybe you have a guilty conscience and don't dare to come here."

Li Ji nodded, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Everyone, I wonder if you can register on the roster and tell us as clearly as possible your family name, your place of origin, how many young slaves you have in your family, and the information about the thieves around you."

"In this way, not only will I be able to investigate the potentially suspicious families based on the roster, but I will also be able to know the information about each family and send soldiers to patrol and garrison around the families that may be attacked as soon as possible to avoid delaying rescue after being attacked. .”

In this regard, the family members present only hesitated for a moment, and then readily agreed, and quickly registered under the officials arranged by Liu Bei.

Jia Xu walked to Li Ji's side and whispered.

"Zikun, what's the use of this? People from these aristocratic families don't expect to report the exact number of young maids in the family, and generally they will only report to Shaoli."

"Isn't this just right?" Li Ji responded.

"Ok?"

"This is the quantity they said themselves." Li Ji said meaningfully.

"Oh, this is to give the handle to Zikun." Jia Xu responded.

As the ceremony that was supposed to welcome the new Wujun governor ended, Liu Bei comforted the family members present one by one and promised to take action as soon as possible. Only then did these family members go down. Rest.

Then, under the leadership of Jia Xu, who arrived in Wu County in advance, Liu Bei led his civil servants and generals into the Wu County government office.

Although Jia Xu had already arranged for personnel to clean and repair the government office early, it was still difficult to cover up the dilapidated atmosphere, and there were only a few junior officials in the government office.

Rather than saying that there are only a few junior officials who are maintaining the normal operation of the government office, I am afraid that they cannot even sweep the floor on weekdays.

"The post of county governor has been vacant for more than six years in Wu County. Almost all affairs in Wu County are controlled by county officials and wealthy families from various places."

Jia Xu introduced the current situation of Wu County to Liu Bei and others along the way, and introduced everyone to sit down in the main hall of the government office.

In the main hall, Liu Bei sat at the top, and below were the civil and military officials.

The list of civil servants on the right is headed by Li Ji, followed by Jian Yong, Jia Xu, and Mi Fang; the list of generals on the left is headed by Guan Yu, followed by Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Xiahou Bo.

Although there were only eight civil and military personnel below, Liu Bei, who was sitting at the head of the government office for the first time, suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

Liu Bei opened his hands slightly, as if making a hug, and said.

"From now on, I will be grateful to all of you for your help to bring peace to the Han people and to help the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone responded in unison, and their hearts suddenly became excited.

Immediately, Liu Bei stood up and cupped his hands towards Li Ji.

"There are so many affairs in Wu County. I would like to appoint Zikun as the county magistrate. He will assist me in overseeing all the government affairs in the county. Please don't refuse."

Moreover, Liu Bei personally presented the official seal of Wu County to Li Ji, which was stored in the government office and represented the magistrate of Wu County.

Li Ji's expression moved slightly, his lips pursed slightly, and he bowed. "Ji, I will do my best to help the Lord achieve his great ambitions."

Liu Bei also responded excitedly and reminded with some concern.

"In the future, Zikun will have to worry about everything. Moreover, Zikun can appoint subordinate officials and auxiliary officials for his own use. He must not be too tired."

"Lord, don't worry." Li Ji responded.

Immediately, Liu Bei held the title of Captain, who was responsible for overseeing military affairs in the county, and appointed Guan Yu as the Captain of Wu Commandery.

Afterwards, Liu Bei also rewarded the other civil servants and generals who were in the main hall at this moment without hesitation.

Zhang Fei is the postal supervisor;
  Zhao Yun served as the supervised thief Cao (in charge of the military guards);
  Xiahou Bo was the thief Cao (the main bodyguard);
  Jian Yong is the meritorious officer;

Jia Xu is the long history;
  Mi Fang is the facial features.

It can be said that Liu Bei almost immediately rewarded all the good positions he could get as a county guard at once.

From veterans like Li Ji, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to newly joined representatives like Mi Fang, they are all generous.

Among them, although Cao Cao, the governor of the sect under Zhao Yun, was not an official, but just a clerk, this was the first position he was granted when Liu Bei made his fortune. It was of great significance and showed how much he valued Zhao Yun, which moved Zhao Yun deeply. .

Only Li Ji couldn't help but look a little weird when he looked at Zhang Fei, who looked happy after being sealed with "Supervisory Mail".

So, will the "whipping of postal inspectors" incident happen again?

From now on, when Zhang Fei, the postal supervisor, goes to inspect various counties, will there be someone who is short-sighted and wants to whip the postal supervisor?
