Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

As the number of displaced people in the refugee camps decreased, Li Ji, who had been busy for a long time, gradually freed up some time and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As far as "work-for-relief" is concerned, the most difficult and troublesome framework has now been initially set up within the entire Wu Commandery.

Besides continuously supplementing the refugees who have begun water conservancy development in various places, the remaining task is to use the refugee camps as a transit point to screen and classify the refugees who will arrive in Wu Commandery one after another, and continuously disperse suitable refugees to various places in Wu Commandery.

It can be said that as long as the 300,000 dan of grain sent from Yizhou are truly put into storage, then Li Ji can at least guarantee that the basic situation will not collapse, and bring advanced technology and vigorous vitality from the Central Plains to Wu through the continuous flow of refugees.

As for the 200,000 refugees who are expected to be scattered to the rest of Yangzhou, it is somewhat helpless, considering the redundancy that needs to be reserved in order to avoid various emergencies.

In Li Ji's view, there are still potential risks if 200,000 refugees are not dispersed to the rest of Yangzhou.

Moreover, in Li Ji's view, the rest of Yangzhou will sooner or later be his own territory, and sending a portion of the refugees out temporarily is essentially keeping the meat rotting in the pot.

In a sense, isn't this just letting others help raise the children first?

What's more, those refugees who deeply feel Liu Bei's benevolence will inevitably take the initiative to publicize Liu Bei's name of benevolence when they are scattered to the rest of Yangzhou, so that Liu Bei can have a certain foundation of popular support even before he has truly completely controlled the entire territory of Yangzhou.

In addition to these benefits, there is another reason why a portion of the refugees must be dispersed to the rest of Yangzhou, that is, it would be too eye-catching for Wu Commandery to completely digest all the refugees with the strength of one commandery.

However, if a portion is openly diverted, the space for maneuvering the specific number of diverted people is too great, and there are ways to avoid attracting the attention of the imperial court and those with ulterior motives.

Of course, Li Ji was also wary of the result of forcibly dividing all the refugees among the commanderies of Yangzhou by using "righteousness" to pressure the rest of Yangzhou and the aristocratic families, causing fierce rebound, as in the previous deduction.

Although in the deduction, Li Ji also secretly grasped the right to speak in the rest of Yangzhou by virtue of "righteousness" and the supervisory power of the Inspector of Yangzhou.

However, there is no need to be so anxious!

Even without the implicit hint in the deduction—"Perhaps this will leave some hidden dangers?"—Li Ji should not be so hasty out of consideration for the overall situation.

This move does not conform to Li Ji's strategy that he did not explicitly state to Liu Bei: "Store up grain widely, build high walls, and postpone becoming king."

The current Emperor Liu Hong has not yet passed away, and Emperor Liu Hong still has considerable control over the Han Dynasty. It is by no means a good thing if Liu Bei, as the Inspector of Yangzhou, behaves too strongly.

Could this be the real "hidden danger" referred to in the deduction?

This also made Li Ji understand the limitations of the "Strategy Simulator". During the deduction process, the target corresponding to this strategy will be the first priority, and all judgments will be based on absolute rationality.

Only consider how to maximize efficiency and properly settle the refugees from the Central Plains with the existing money and food in Wu Commandery.

In this regard, the "top-down" approach adopted by the "Strategy Simulator" for deduction is undoubtedly excellent.

However, the success of a strategy is not necessarily beneficial to the overall strategy.

However, after Li Ji solved the problem of food shortage and digested 600,000 refugees within Wu Commandery through the "work-for-relief" method, there is naturally no need for all the commanderies in Yangzhou to share the burden of digesting and resettling the refugees.

Originally, each commandery might need to resettle more than 100,000 people, but now five commanderies share 200,000 refugees.

Calculated, it is not difficult for each commandery to digest 40,000 refugees.

When the damage to interests is not great and there is "righteousness" in hand, the possibility of other commanderies voluntarily accepting refugees will naturally increase.

There is no need to force other commanderies to accept them through "righteousness" as in the deduction.

Of course, how to make the other commanderies "voluntarily" accept is also a technical task.

However, with Jia Xu's ability, this matter is expected to be not difficult.

Jia Xu, a top strategist in the late Han Dynasty, must have a place.

If Jia Xu cannot make the rest of Yangzhou "voluntarily" accept 200,000 refugees when he has "righteousness" in hand, then what Li Ji needs to consider is Jia Xu's intentions and loyalty.

Is the internal traitor revealing his flaws?

Therefore, Li Ji only specifically explained to Jia Xu the desired result and drew a bottom line that Liu Bei's reputation must not be ruined, and then left the rest to Jia Xu to freely play.

In the case of insufficient information, Jia Xu's ability is still above Li Ji, and Li Ji does not need to remind him much.

Li Ji had been buried in the "work-for-relief" matter for several days in a row, and now he also had some leisure time to start dealing with the rest of the official duties that had been accumulated for several days.

However, almost all the unimportant and tedious official duties in the entire Wu Commandery are handled by Gu Yong, and only some major events will have documents passed to Li Ji.

Therefore, Li Ji spent more time reading the intelligence sent up by the Brocade-Clad Guards these days.

The main thing is the movements and reactions of the county magistrates in Wu Commandery…

If there are really any county magistrates who dare to reach out at this time, Li Ji doesn't mind wiping out their three clans.

Perhaps the law of the Han Dynasty does not punish the three clans for such a crime, but Judge Li uses the law of the Han Dynasty, beheading first and reporting later, as a warning to others…

First, slaughter the three clans, define the murderer as a bandit or mountain bandit, and then pass this matter on to the county government offices in various counties. Those who understand will naturally understand, and Li Ji can also use this as an excuse to further impose martial law on the county towns, completely cutting off the possibility of those county magistrates escaping.

In short, they didn't run away when they were officials and enjoyed themselves and embezzled money. Now that they need to do something, they want to roll up their money and retreat?

'There really is a genius born with this idea, thinking there is such a good thing?'

Li Ji looked at the series of actions of the magistrate of Yuhang County after leaving Wu County in the information reported by the Brocade-Clad Guards. On the surface, he began to mobilize people to prepare supplies, but secretly he began to continuously sell his private property.

Obviously, Yuhang County and Qiantang County are neighbors, and the former magistrate of Qiantang County and the magistrate of Yuhang County must not only be drinking buddies, but also often like-minded people.

As a result, the fate of the former magistrate of Qiantang County almost scared the magistrate of Yuhang County out of his wits, and he has begun to prepare to retreat and run away.

Presumably, the magistrate of Yuhang County's idea is that anyway, the official positions of the Han Dynasty can be bought with money. Since being a magistrate under Liu Bei and Li Ji is so dangerous, it is better to roll up the money and run away to another place to buy an official position.

After slightly pondering the magistrate of Yuhang County's thoughts, Li Ji couldn't help but sneer, picked up another vermilion-dipped brush on the table, and wrote a sentence on the bamboo slip.

[Killed by bandits, died in the line of duty, the three clans are wiped out, publicize it.]

Of course, Li Ji knew that the magistrate of Yuhang County was still complete now, but when he rolled up his money and took his family to retreat and run away, the first step he took out of Yuhang County, Li Ji would teach him what it means to split up.

The soul can go, but the person stays; the heart can go, but the money stays!

"Let me see how you run?"

If there were no Brocade-Clad Guards, maybe these county magistrates could really run away secretly.

It's just that after the Brocade-Clad Guards have fully penetrated all aspects of Wu Commandery, let alone selling family property, even if the magistrate of Yuhang County goes to the latrine several times a day and spends a few days with his concubine every day, the Brocade-Clad Guards can be said to be clear.

In this case, even if the magistrate of Yuhang County is some fierce general, rushing out of the ambush set by the Brocade-Clad Guards, Guan Yu is still blocking the important passes in the southern part of Wu Commandery.

Therefore, when Li Ji wrote that sentence in vermilion, he already understood that unless the magistrate of Yuhang County suddenly woke up, otherwise his fate was already doomed.

After that, Li Ji also successively read the reports of the Brocade-Clad Guards about other county magistrates, and his expression softened slightly.

Overall, some county magistrates don't want to run away, but they haven't earned as much as the magistrate of Yuhang County. After all, they are still reluctant to part with the position of county magistrate, so they plan to wait and see.

And perhaps because of guilt, that part of the county magistrates are quite actively cooperating with the "work-for-relief".

Presumably, when the news that the three clans of the magistrate of Yuhang County all died in the line of duty reaches the ears of those corrupt officials, they will be expected to perform more actively.

However, as Li Ji continued to read the reports of the Brocade-Clad Guards, he suddenly found an exquisitely embroidered cloth bag among them.

Li Ji took it in his hand and stroked it, only to feel a burst of fragrance drifting into his nose.

"This is not the intelligence transmitted by the Brocade-Clad Guards, why is it mixed in here?"

Li Ji murmured with some doubts.

Now the system of the Brocade-Clad Guards has been initially established. People from Taoyuan are the backbone and are responsible for establishing contact points in various regions, and then develop downlines to collect intelligence through a single-line contact method.

It's just that Xiahou Bo, as the commander of the Brocade-Clad Guards, only has the management rights of the Brocade-Clad Guards, but the intelligence constantly transmitted from all directions will not directly pass through Xiahou Bo, to ensure that Xiahou Bo will not completely control the "eyes" and "ears" of the Brocade-Clad Guards.

All the intelligence that the Taoyuan people judge to be valuable will be independently aggregated into an independent room located in the backyard of the government office. Each piece of intelligence will be copied on bamboo slips by two different people.

After that, the original intelligence will be given to Xiahou Bo for browsing and archiving, and the intelligence bamboo slips copied by two different people will be directly handed over to Liu Bei and Li Ji.

It can be said that this method almost eliminates the possibility of the commander of the Brocade-Clad Guards concealing or tampering with intelligence.

It is also because of this that the Brocade-Clad Guards intelligence that Liu Bei and Li Ji see should be of uniform bamboo slip specifications, and there should only be two kinds of handwriting.

Li Jilue squeezed the cloth package with some confusion, feeling that it resembled something a daughter would embroider herself, and it seemed to contain cloth inside. (End of Chapter)
