#147 - Don't let small kindnesses go unrewarded
Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly took the leather from Zhao Yun and began to read.
【Lord, there is no need to hesitate, proceed with benevolence!
Although Ji does not know the extent of the disaster, the Xuzhou passage that you have painstakingly maintained will be affected, so you must do your best to maintain it.
Moreover, you should quickly dispatch Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin's navy to assist in transporting the refugees across the Yangtze River. By no means should too many refugees be allowed to stay on the north bank of the river, for too many will cause chaos, and chaos will lead to violence.
Once a riot breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the various prefectures and counties of Xuzhou will inevitably panic and then close their borders to prevent refugees from entering!】
The writing on the leather was coherent and hurried, suggesting that Li Ji had written the content almost without thinking.
And he hurriedly ordered Zhao Yun to return to the government office day and night, relying on the speed of his Night-Shining Jade Lion.
More importantly, after Li Ji's reminder, Liu Bei suddenly realized that the real priority was not to transport grain to Xuzhou to maintain the passage, but to quickly dispatch ferries to transport the refugees constantly stranded on the north side of the Yangtze River to the south side.
Otherwise, once the number of refugees on the north side of the Yangtze River reaches a certain level, it will easily lead to chaos.
Even for the sake of survival, it is not impossible for the refugees to attack the government.
If this is the case, the nature of the matter will be completely changed.
From refugees to rioters, not only will the Xuzhou government violently suppress them, but it will also directly block the passage that Liu Bei had previously worked so hard to open.
At that time, not only will Liu Bei be unable to provide relief to the refugees, but even after this disaster, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to gradually receive refugees again, and few refugees will be able to reach Wu Commandery.
For an ordinary commandery administrator, this would undoubtedly be a great double blessing.
However, this matter is undoubtedly unacceptable to both Liu Bei and Li Ji.
Wu Commandery, with its vast land and sparse population, and even the entire Yang Province, needs population too much. Simply relying on childbirth, the long cycle is something that Liu Bei and Li Ji cannot wait for.
Therefore, continuously receiving refugees fleeing from the Central Plains is also a development strategy that Liu Bei and Li Ji had previously confirmed.
Liu Bei still remembers Li Ji's seemingly unintentional exclamation: People are the foundation of everything.
Moreover, just as Li Ji's letter seemed to fully understand what choice Liu Bei was more inclined to, Liu Bei also understood Li Ji's meaning.
Money and grain can be slowly replenished later, but saving people is urgent.
Immediately, Liu Bei no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice.
"Ji Chang, immediately send someone to convey my order, ordering Xu Sheng and Jiang Qin's navy to lead all the ships to the ferry and assist in bringing the refugees to Wu Commandery as soon as possible."
"Xianhe, you immediately go to the northern part of Wu Commandery to build camps that can temporarily accommodate the refugees, and prepare a large amount of food, clothing, medicinal materials, and other necessities."
"Yide, you lead five thousand commandery soldiers and five hundred cavalry to rush to the northern part of Wu Commandery to patrol, and by no means allow riots to occur among the refugees, and also prevent thieves from taking advantage of the chaos."
"Zi Zhong, I will trouble you to be stationed in Wu County to allocate all the money and grain."
"Yuan Tan, since Zi Kun has entrusted you with full responsibility for all the large and small trivial government affairs of Wu Commandery, I also believe that you have this ability…"
Finally, Liu Bei's expression became solemn and he said.
"Although I am only the administrator of Wu Commandery, my thoughts and actions are all for the benefit of the people of the world. Benevolence should not only be applied to Wu Commandery, and benevolent governance should save and cherish the people."
"The people of the Central Plains are suffering and fleeing to Wu Commandery. Is this not because the people came for my, Liu Xuande's, name of benevolence? How can I use the Yangtze River as a wall to block them from being saved?"
"Even if the people do not die because of me, Liu Xuande, can Liu Xuande's guilt be concealed from the world, or can it deceive my own heart?"
"Even if I can save one more person, that can make me feel at ease, worthy of my ancestors, and worthy of standing between heaven and earth."
In the end, Liu Bei, feeling inspired, said with emotion.
"Do not refrain from doing good because it is small, and do not do evil because it is small…"
"Please, for the benefit of the people, help Liu Xuande, I am grateful beyond words."
Under this series of orders and emotions, not to mention gentlemen like Mi Zhu and Jian Yong, even Gu Yong was greatly shocked.
Gu Yong's previous words and actions, thoughts and ideas were more for the sake of the family, while Liu Bei had more of the people of the world in his heart.
Moreover, Liu Bei's vision was never limited to the land of Wu or even Jiangdong.
Liu Bei's governance of the land of Wu was never just for the land of Wu, but for the Han Dynasty!
"To govern the world with one commandery."
Liu Bei has been practicing this from beginning to end.
A difference in ideological realm arose spontaneously in Gu Yong's heart.
Although Gu Yong was very clear that his knowledge and ability were perhaps far above Liu Bei's in many aspects, the difference in ideological realm made Gu Yong only want to bow down to Liu Bei at this moment and…
"We respectfully obey the Lord's order!"
Gu Yong loudly bowed his head with the crowd to listen to the order, and suddenly felt a sense of being led by Liu Bei onto a certain path.
'Yuan Tan, I am willing to follow the Lord to see what the end of this path of benevolence will be like!'
This thought arose in Gu Yong's heart, and he felt for the first time a sense of being alive.
Not the kind of feeling of reading and writing under the orders of his father and family, growing up to revitalize the family one day, but a feeling of truly being alive.
And having received the crowd's response, Liu Bei cupped his hands and bowed, and then everyone began to act in an orderly manner.
Those who can enter Liu Bei's decision-making class are not mediocre people.
Even Jian Yong can be called a talent of the state and commandery, and Gu Yong is even a chancellor seedling recognized by Li Ji.
Therefore, although the official structure of the Wu Commandery government office can only be said to be in its initial system, it is enough to make the entire Wu Commandery operate efficiently.
For a time, orders were issued from the government office.
A large number of soldiers, money, grain, and other materials were quickly mobilized towards the northern part of Wu Commandery, and the various counties and cities of the entire Wu Commandery also increased their levels of martial law to avoid being impacted and causing chaos due to the refugee problem.
Under Liu Bei's personal orders, the Mi family and the remaining aristocratic families in Wu Commandery also assisted in stabilizing the prices of various items, mainly grain, in Wu Commandery, to avoid causing turmoil in the local area of Wu Commandery under the impact of the drought in the Central Plains and the refugees.
It was not until this time that Liu Bei suddenly realized that Li Ji had unknowingly shaped Wu Commandery into his own image in just over half a year.
With a move of Liu Bei's will, the entire Wu Commandery, from the government office and the various county offices to the various merchants, aristocratic families, and soldiers, almost all had to obey his orders.
This kind of mobilization power made Liu Bei feel incredible.
What Liu Bei didn't know was that, in Li Ji's view, this was just the beginning.
When Liu Bei's order can truly make a large number of people act autonomously, and the order reaches every village, that is the mobilization power that Li Ji is satisfied with.
When Li Ji arrived back in Wu County after about half a day, he also rushed back without stopping, and the first batch of money and grain had begun to be transported to the northern part of Wu Commandery.
Li Ji glanced around and quickly headed towards the direction of the government office.
On the way, Li Ji happened to pass by the Cai residence and suddenly remembered Cai Zhaoji, whom he had not seen or contacted for nearly a month.
First: Li Ji had countless things to be busy with and arrange every day;
Second: Li Ji had no reason to specifically meet Cai Zhaoji.
Previously, it was because of the water conservancy planning, and at that time, even if it was against etiquette, it was only because the two parties were engaged that they turned a blind eye and even intentionally or unintentionally helped Li Ji cover it up.
But to see Cai Zhaoji again after that would be too disrespectful to Cai Zhaoji and Cai Yong, and it would also make Li Ji seem like a person with a bad temperament, and also a lustful person, who couldn't even wait for the half-year wedding date.
What made Li Ji feel a little guilty was that he seemed to have promised to exchange letters, but he didn't expect that after being busy during this period, Li Ji completely forgot about it.
Even if he hadn't just passed by the Cai residence, Li Ji would have even forgotten that he still had an unmarried wife.
Even so, Li Ji still didn't stop for a moment, but quickly passed the entrance of the Cai residence and continued straight to the government office.
Compared with the great cause, compared with the lives of thousands of people, a little personal emotion was insignificant to Li Ji.
Once, perhaps Li Ji had imagined whether he would live a corrupt life of being drunk on the knees of beauties when he had power in his hands one day.
But when Li Ji truly mastered the military and political affairs of a commandery and acted as the commandery administrator with the status of commandery assistant, there was no such idea in Li Ji's mind at all.
No other!
Compared to beauties, the country is even more graceful, and the feeling that the people under his rule are getting better at a visible speed is really too wonderful.
In the world, it is thought that there will be no more advanced development game than this.
In the face of unfinished great achievements, Li Ji clearly felt that he loved beauties quite a bit, but he really didn't have the urge to indulge in women.
'Perhaps, I'm taking the script of Li Longji's temperament, a sage in the early stage and a beast in the later stage?'
This thought couldn't help but appear in Li Ji's mind, and he felt that this didn't seem impossible, and was even influenced by Liu Bei.
That sentence 'I've been fighting all my life, can't I enjoy it?' really made Li Ji never forget this magical and righteous statement.
However, as the government office was close at hand, Li Ji's gaze condensed, suppressing all those messy thoughts, and quickly entered the government office.
Knowing Liu Bei's habits, Li Ji did not go to the main hall, but went straight to the side hall where Liu Bei usually liked to stay.
"Mr. Zi Kun?"
Just before Li Ji arrived at the main hall, he happened to be met by Mi Zhu on the way, and he was directly stopped and pulled to a quiet corner, and asked.
"Why did you agree to this matter? Although the Lord's decision is to provide disaster relief and save the people, as a minister, you should advise the Lord not to do things that are impossible or unachievable."
Li Ji looked up and saw that Mi Zhu, who was from a merchant background and placed great importance on his image, possessing a noble and wealthy air, now had disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes.
