Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Chapter 132 Setting the Threshold
  As for whether Li Ji's power would be distributed as a result, Li Ji could only smile and remain silent.

As the saying goes: "Small things are discussed in the general meeting, and big things are discussed in the small meetings."

Things that would actually be brought up for discussion at a tea party like this that might be leaked cannot be said to be trivial, but they are things that would not matter at all even if they were leaked.

Regarding major strategic matters, Li Ji and Liu Bei had almost discussed the results last night.

Even if it is brought up again and discussed at a tea party, the discussion is not whether it should be done, but how it should be done.

For example, regarding the establishment of the Wujun navy, the scope of discussion at the tea party was who should be sent there and how many naval forces were planned to be established?

As for the more secretive and more extensive shipbuilding factory, Liu Bei did not discuss it at all.

Moreover, Liu Bei and Li Ji had basically made unanimous decisions on many issues, and discussing them at the tea party was more convenient for brainstorming and checking for omissions.

For example, when being elected as the general to lead the Yangtze River navy, besides Jiang Qin, is there a more talented second candidate who has been ignored?

As for Zhang Fei's self-recommendation, it was almost ignored by the collective.

What Liu Bei and Li Ji didn't expect was that Zhao Yun recommended someone at the meeting.

It is claimed that this person was originally named Xu Sheng, courtesy name Wenxiang, and was from Langye Ju. He moved to Wuxian County about a year ago and became a county soldier.

When Yan Baihu led the thieves to attack Wuxian, Zhao Yun noticed this man's bravery in battle, and later paid more attention to this man. After occasionally chatting, he found that although his martial arts was slightly inferior to his own, he was not as good at water warfare. We all have experience in fighting on foot, so we know it is extraordinary.

Liu Bei also paid attention to Zhao Yun's strong recommendation. After the meeting, he asked Zhao Yun to bring Xu Sheng over for a closer look before deciding on the candidates for the navy general's deputy.

Only Li Ji knew that Xu Sheng could be regarded as a rare navy general with the combination of command, strategy and bravery. He and Jiang Qin were among the "Twelve Tiger Ministers of Eastern Wu", but Jiang Qin was more good at martial arts. , Xu Sheng's record shines much brighter in comparison.

Li Jishang still remembers that in "Three Kingdoms", the person who was evaluated as "big and strong" was not only Boss Cao who praised Zhang Liao as "the powerful one in Xiaoyaojin", but it was Sun Quan who praised Xu Sheng for repelling him in the "Battle of Ruxu" The achievements of Cao Jun.

Zhao Yun... is indeed a lucky general!
  What's even more rare is Zhao Yun's always humble style, which allows him to not only discover great talents under his command, but is also willing to recommend them to Liu Bei.

Except for Xu Sheng, the following tea party meeting did not bring any more surprises to Li Ji.

However, as the tea party meeting ended, each topic was agreed upon, and each task was assigned on the spot.

Even Zhang Fei, who was staring at the whole process most of the time, almost understood Wu Jun's general development direction and plans for the next year.

The water conservancy planning plan, which is the highlight, will also be implemented in earnest.

In the early stage, the five lakes in Wu County: Taihu, Youhu, Mohu, Xuhu, and Gonghu were used as the center to improve the water network, renovate the rivers, and build farmland around the lakes, with the intention of taking the lead in creating a fertile land for thousands of miles with the five lakes as the center. Accommodating refugees in a steady stream.

When the tea party that lasted until dusk ended and Li Ji led Gu Yong to leave, Gu Yong was still immersed in the huge plan and couldn't extricate himself.

As a prime minister who is good at politics, Gu Yong is too clear about what kind of grand scene will be described under the blueprint.

More importantly, Gu Yong saw the possibility of success and a feasible execution plan, which made Gu Yong feel an indescribable excitement in his heart.

As a person from Wu County, Gu Yong was eager to see the grand scene that turned Wu land, which was just a remote place in the eyes of the world, into fertile soil.

Even if Gu Yong vaguely knew that what he had provided Li Ji to drastically transform the land in Wu County was probably the money and food accumulated by 70% of the aristocratic families in Wu County.

However, Gu Yong felt for a moment that those aristocratic families deserved their death!
  He is the cornerstone of a prosperous age and deserves to die!
  If the Wujun family suffered heavy losses for a while, the prosperity of Wujun would last for thousands of years. Gu Yong claimed that he could govern by himself, and he would never hesitate or be merciful.

The only difference is that Gu Yong feels that he may not be as clean as Li Ji, who plundered the family's money and food without losing any words.

For a time, Gu Yong couldn't help but look forward to his upcoming official life and his future of studying behind Li Ji.

"What are you thinking about? Did Yuan Tan think about my general for just one night?"

Suddenly, a voice came into Gu Yong's ears.

When Gu Yong came back to his senses, he realized that he had unknowingly followed Li Ji from the government office back to the door of Li Ji's mansion.

However, Gu Yong obviously would not admit his gaffe, and instead asked in a serious tone. "I followed Li Juncheng here, just to confirm if Li Juncheng has any other instructions?"

Li Ji raised his eyebrows and teased. "It's already non-working hours, so can I give you instructions outside of work?"

"Official matters should be handled publicly, and private matters should be handled privately." Gu Yong said loudly.

"Then Yuan Tan will go back and have a good rest. You have worked hard today to record the contents of the meeting for half a day..."

Li Ji patted Gu Yong's shoulder and spoke to Gu Yong warmly. His brother-like behavior made Gu Yong's heart warm slightly, and he couldn't help but feel that Li Ji might have some humanity.

However, Li Ji paused briefly and continued before Gu Yong could speak.

"What's more, half of the government affairs are backlogged today, and Yuan Tan will need to worry more tomorrow."

Gu Yong:......

Gu Yong's mouth moved slightly, as if some obscene words were about to come out, but he endured them.

"Yes, thanks to Li Juncheng for his attention, Yong Ding will work hard."

Gu Yong cupped his hands and walked away almost as fast as he could escape. And the moment he turned his back to Li Ji, Gu Yong's expression, which had always maintained a simple and honest look, became distorted, and he almost cursed someone silently. The person quickly disappeared in front of Li Ji's eyes.

Xia Houlan, who was following Li Ji, couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, even if Yuan Tan is a simple and honest character, but this... wouldn't it be a bit bad? Yuan Tan would be overwhelmed by so many government affairs." "Simple and honest?"

Li Ji chuckled and said instead.

"Habit is a very scary force. Unlike Wen He, Yuan Tan can also develop some good habits. Otherwise, when Yuan Tan fully grows up, it won't be so useful."

As for what a good habit is, it is naturally the habit of handling trivial government affairs without complaint.

When will Gu Yong be raised to be the kind of person who, no matter how many trivial government affairs are thrown at him, will complain verbally, but his body will still be very excited and handle all the government affairs perfectly.

In Li Ji's view, Gu Yongfang was truly cultivated.

And unlike Li Ji and Jia Xu, Gu Yong's real expertise is government affairs, and Li Ji will naturally fully develop Gu Yong in this aspect.

After Gu Yong initially grows up, Li Ji can focus more on other more important aspects.

With the tea party meeting over, all the civil servants and generals in Wu County who were responsible for important tasks became busy.

Soon after, the candidates for the generals of the Wujun navy were determined. Xu Sheng was the chief, Jiang Qin was the deputy, Jia Xu served as the governor and military advisor as the chief historian, and the Xiang Yong originally led by Jiang Qin was recruited as the backbone. Xiangyong established a navy army with three thousand soldiers and built a water village around Dantu.

Therefore, Jia Xu soon left Wu County with the army, which also left Li Ji with one less tea companion after Dian Mao in the government office.

As for Gu Yong?

He was so busy dealing with government affairs that he didn't even have time to get up and pee. Why did he drink so much tea?
  Wouldn't that harm Gu Yong?

Li Ji, who has a gentle and kind personality, would naturally not harm Gu Yong like this.

Therefore, when Li Ji directed (supervised) Gu Yong in handling government affairs in the main hall of the government office every day, most of the time he drank tea by himself while supplementing the information corresponding to the Wu County Water Conservancy Planning Catalog. Specific content, and personally arrange water conservancy development.

It's just that some of the bullets fired early finally circled around and hit Li Ji himself.

When Xia Houlan walked up to him with another pile of greeting cards, Li Ji felt a little pain in his head.

"Sir, this is a greeting from Xu Jing, a famous scholar in Runan."

Xia Houlan pointed to the greeting card at the top and explained, and was about to continue introducing the rest of the greeting cards below.

Li Ji rubbed his temples and asked. "Just say the numbers."

"Thirteen." Xia Houlan replied.

This made Li Ji's face even more bitter.

Li Ji suddenly realized that he had been a little careless before, or that he had been tricked by Jia Xu.

That is, even though Li Ji attracted a large number of scholars to Wu Commandery with his reputation, Li Ji was unable to deal with so many scholars on his own.

Unless Li Ji holds a big banquet every day in his mansion to entertain visiting scholars from all over.

But once Li Ji becomes such a talkative person, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?

However, even if Li Ji could ignore ordinary scholars, just dealing with celebrities like Xu Jing still required a lot of effort, which made Li Ji somewhat tireless.

'Jia Wenhe, I'm afraid he had thought of what happened today when he proposed this policy...'

While Li Ji secretly made a note to Jia Xu, he couldn't help but think about whether there was any way to solve it once and for all.

Not only can it continue to attract a large number of scholars to Wu Jun, but even if Li Ji does not need to receive them, it will not damage the reputation of Liu Bei and Wu Jun.

'I am famous all over the world for my method of deducing the sand table, and I should explain it from here. Many scholars also visited me to ask for advice and advice. '

'Why not use this to set a threshold and screen out the mediocre among them? '

At this thought, several gleams of light flashed in Li Ji's eyes.

If something similar to the "Zhenlong Chess Game" is set up, why can't it attract the world's scholars even more?
  And there is no need to use cracking as the threshold, but to divide the levels based on the extent to which it can be deduced.

In this way, the damn desire to win will definitely make the scholars in the world unable to stop, and all of them want to use this to either prove their abilities or gain fame.

At that time, you can raise your own status without offending many scholars...

For example: Outstanding genius is just the basic threshold for meeting me, Li Zikun.

The more Li Ji imagined it, the more he realized that it was highly feasible.

The only question is how to set up an eternal problem similar to the "Zhenlong Chess Game" and still arouse the desire to win and lose among the scholars all over the world, and then rush to it like a flock of ducks?

Sand table deduction...

Sand table deduction...

Maybe we can do some dimensionality reduction and cross the red water? !
