Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

After Lu Zhi listened, he was silent for a long time before speaking.

"This method is quite good. Compared with being gentle or tough, it can not only consume Shanyue's young and strong labor, but also make Shanyue know the dress and etiquette of my big man."

"As long as this continues, or it only takes ten or twenty years, Shanyue will be completely integrated with the Han people, and it will be difficult to distinguish them from each other. The Shanyue disaster that has lasted for countless years south of the Yangtze River will also completely disappear. "

"It's just that it is now heard that Wu County is reclaiming fertile farmland and wasteland. Naturally, it will accept the young and strong laborers from the mountain. But if one day Wu County no longer needs these laborers, it may become a hidden danger, Zikun..."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi suddenly shook his head and said.

"But I am overly worried. Even if such a situation occurs by then, I am afraid Xuande will no longer be the governor of Wu County, so there is no need to worry about such long-term matters."

In response, Li Ji smiled and did not answer.

With the degree of development south of the Yangtze River, as long as Li Ji maintains a positive and enterprising spirit, there will be no labor surplus at least in Li Ji's lifetime.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Shanyue Qingzhuang to have no work.

However, Lu Zhi originally thought that he would be quite surprised to see Shan Yue in Wujun. Unexpectedly, as he visited Wujun with Liu Bei and Li Ji, Lu Zhi became more and more frightened.

The natural and interlocking water conservancy has turned almost half of the entire Wu County into fertile soil worthy of reclamation.

What's more important is that even though it's winter, people can still be seen everywhere enthusiastically reclaiming fertile fields, waiting for the next spring to start farming.

The large number of cattle in Wu County also made Lu Zhi speechless.

It can be said that in Lu Zhi's view, Wu County has undergone almost earth-shaking changes.

Even with Lu Zhi's knowledge and vision, he had never seen such a state full of vitality and hope in other parts of the Han Dynasty.

And this seems to be only a year and a half after Liu Bei took office as county governor, right?

Such significant changes have occurred in one and a half years?
At this moment, Lu Zhi turned to look at Li Ji, who was huddled in the corner of the carriage, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

'Your Majesty, if you accept the recommendation of the ministers, accept Li Zikun as your confidant, and rely on the state affairs to support you, you may not be able to revive the imperial court. Why do you have to do this? '

However, Lu Zhi also knew that this matter could only leave him sighing, and he hated those eunuchs and castrated dogs even more in his heart.

If the castrated dog Zuo Feng hadn't hit Li Ji on the head with his staff, how could this recommendation be voided?

Liu Bei didn't know why Lu Zhi's interest suddenly dropped. He could only take Lu Zhi back to Wu County to recuperate after spending a few days with Lu Zhi, who looked slightly depressed.

It’s another New Year.

Except for Gan Ning, who was not suitable to appear in public, even Jia Xu secretly rushed back to Wuxian by sea ship.

Compared with the previous year, not only Wu County is much more prosperous and lively this year, almost every household is filled with joy and surprise, and even the government offices are also much more lively.

The addition of Gu Yong, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Xu Sheng and others has undoubtedly made Liu Bei's men appear to be full of talents.

In addition, Liu Bei, Li Ji, and Zhang Fei also started their own families, which also led Liu Bei to specially prepare a banquet for the female family members this year.

Looking back at the past, it was obvious that Liu Bei Group was rapidly expanding, and Li Ji had a smile on his face almost unconsciously.

Especially last year, Li Ji pretended to be struck by the staff and could only pretend to be sick. This year, Li Ji naturally had a great time.

It's just that the arrival of the third year of Zhongping has made Li Ji feel a little more urgent unconsciously.

In the spring of the sixth year of Zhongping, the emperor who sang songs every night would pass away, and troubled times would follow, leaving not much time for Liu Bei and Wu Commandery.

However, Liu Yan, who had been preparing for half a year, gave the entire Han Dynasty a big job at the beginning of the year.

Taking advantage of the renewed rebellion in Liangzhou and the overwhelming Xiqiang rebels once again attacked the land of Sanfu, Zhang Lu, the "Five Fighters Taoist", rebelled in Hanzhong and killed Su Gu, the governor of Hanzhong County.

After Hanzhong became independent, Liu Yan completely cut off contact with Luoyang on the grounds that rice thieves were causing trouble and blocking traffic. Even the court repeatedly asked Liu Yan to send troops to quell the rebellion in Hanzhong, but Liu Yan seemed to ignore it.

Moreover, none of the messengers sent by the imperial court to Yizhou could leave alive. They all claimed that they were killed by rice thieves. Liu Yan also insisted to the outside world that he had never seen a Han envoy.

As a result, the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty were almost completely separated from the translucent Jiaozhou, and Liangzhou and Yizhou were almost effectively out of the control of the Han Dynasty.

House seemingly endless rain!

After the situation in Liangzhou and Yizhou began to spread, it seemed that countless people realized that the imperial court that quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion in just a few months was not as powerful as imagined, but instead revealed an aura of decay and weakness.

The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains were in chaos again, and the Black Mountain Army also had a large-scale rebel army calling themselves the "Black Mountain Army" and harassing the government everywhere. Even Wuhuan also showed changes. The Xiqiang Rebellion was like a fuse that exposed the true weakness of the imperial court.

So compared to the second year of Zhongping, which was originally relatively peaceful, the third year of Zhongping has just begun, and the Han Dynasty is already in chaos.

Faced with a situation that seemed to be riddled with problems, the imperial court could only focus on resisting the Xiqiang rebellion, lest the fall of the Sanfu Land threaten the imperial capital Luoyang.

As for the chaos frequently reported from various places, the imperial court could only choose to decentralize military and political power and appoint a group of state pastors earlier than the original path in Li Ji's memory, hoping to use the state pastoral policy to quell the chaos in all directions.

Youzhou Prefect Liu Yu, Jingzhou Prefect Liu Biao, Xuzhou Prefect Tao Qian, Jiaozhou Prefect Zhu Fu.

(PS: Let me mention Zhu Fu here. Zhu Fu was the son of Zhu Jun and served as the governor of Jiaozhou around this period in history.

As for the well-known Shixie [Tong Xie], he was a member of the Jiaozhou gentry. He had never served as the governor or pastor of Jiaozhou. However, due to the war in the late Han Dynasty, Shixie's family gradually took control of the real power in Jiaozhou, so Shixie became the governor of Jiaozhou. The uncrowned king. )
Among them, Youzhou and Jiaozhou were both border areas of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, the imperial court was anxious to determine the prefectures to prevent unrest.

Liu Biao was designated as the prefect of Jingzhou, or the court saw through Liu Yan's excuse, so it wanted to block the possibility of Liu Yan's rebellion from the Yangtze River to Shu in the direction of Jingzhou.

Tao Qian was designated as the prefect of Xuzhou because the Central Plains had frequent Yellow Turban rebellions and experienced droughts and plagues, so that the Central Plains area was temporarily unable to quell the rebellion. On the contrary, Xuzhou had never experienced too serious natural or man-made disasters.

Therefore, the purpose of Tao Qian being designated as the prefect of Xuzhou was undoubtedly to curb the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains.

Even though he had expected this, Li Ji couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw the weak state of the Han court.

However, this is also the court's helpless choice at the moment.

In particular, the Gonggun princes were either ambitious, inactive, or greedy.

Even if there are a few people with good abilities and good character, it will be difficult to achieve anything under such circumstances.

Under such circumstances, the imperial court was simply unable to quell the chaos in all directions, and ignoring it would only make the Han Dynasty lose its majesty faster. Furthering the military and political power was not a solution.

The Han Dynasty will be in chaos!

This phenomenon has become more and more obvious.

In such a chaotic situation, Jinan Prime Minister Cao Cao, who Li Ji often paid attention to, resigned due to illness.

And the number of refugees flocking to Wu County has risen several levels again from the previous low.

In this regard, Li Ji almost refused to accept anyone who came, and continued to slowly absorb refugees from the Central Plains to the south, filling the population of Wu County and Kuaiji County.

In order to ensure that the refugee channel in Xuzhou would not be affected, Liu Bei personally went to Xuzhou several times to visit Tao Qian after learning that Tao Qian had been appointed pastor of Xuzhou.

At this moment, Tao Qian was entrusted with an important task by the imperial court. Naturally, he was not the seemingly harmless old man who sent his family home in Li Ji's original impression.

On the contrary, Tao Qian's resume is quite dazzling. Starting from Maocai, he served successively as county magistrate, Yilang, governor of Youzhou, and then military attache. Before that, he served as a Yangwu captain under Lu Zhi and fought against the Western Qiang in the land of Sanfu. , repeatedly made military exploits.

It can be said that in the eyes of the imperial court, Tao Qian was the next generation military attache Miao Zi of Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun, so he appointed Tao Qian to Xuzhou to be the governor of the state to quell the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

And Liu Bei and Tao Qian have a relationship like Lu Zhi, plus they have similar personalities, it can be regarded as a thunder and fire.

Even though it was inconvenient for the two of them to get together later, they continued to exchange letters, which made Li Ji speechless.

Our Lord's succubus skills are... very good!

In such a tumultuous situation, the water conservancy project developed by Wu Junna, which used hundreds of thousands of refugees to provide "work-for-relief", finally produced sweet fruits.

Thanks to the day and night work of a large number of Han people and Shanyue young people, Wu County produced countless fertile fields through spring plowing this year.

Even though the fertility of these fields is slightly lacking because they have just been cultivated, they are fertile fields that can be cultivated and can feed the people.

During the spring plowing period, countless officials, scholars, and laborers who had been busy for a long time had their eyes wet all the time. Even Liu Bei secretly wiped away tears.

But compared to Liu Bei's excitement, Li Ji's expression was much calmer.

In Li Ji's view, this is just the beginning. If you want to significantly increase Wu County's grain production on this basis, grain seeds are the key.

It can be said that grain seeds can only be found by luck, or cultivated slowly.

But after the spring plowing came to an end, which meant that countless refugees in the second year of Zhongping had truly become common people with land in Wu County, Li Ji gradually focused more of his energy on the island barbarians.

After starting preparations in advance, Guan Yu had already formed and trained a group of 3,000 people composed of carefree Han people and strong young men from the mountains and mountains. (End of chapter)
