I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

3122, Zhuge Liang's discoloration

For Zhuge Liang, if possible, he certainly did not want to kill people, because it would easily offend the nobles and people of Yizhou, but the development of the situation made Zhuge Liang unable to be a butcher again.

Liu Bei had just captured Yizhou. If there were no problems, Liu Bei would be able to win the hearts of Yizhou as long as he followed the steps and took some time.

After all, Liu Bei is very good at gathering people's hearts.

But the bad thing is that Liu Zhe is here.

No one dares to underestimate Liu Zhe. If Liu Zhe is allowed to invade Yizhou, with Liu Zhe's strength, Yizhou will fall into Liu Zhe's hands sooner or later.

Therefore, Liu Bei had to take action against Liu Zhe.

In order not to let those people with dissent intentions drag Liu Bei back, Zhuge Liang had to raise his knife and clean up these people.

At the same time, it also used this to stand up for Liu Bei, so that the people of Yizhou did not dare to rebel at will.

This is not a method within a method.

In the last rebellion, many people were nobles and officials from Yizhou, and they had great influence in Yizhou.

If it wasn't for Zhuge Liang's deliberate suppression, there might be many people who would not rebel, but Zhuge Liang would do it anyway.

Zhuge Liang did not dare to take the risk. If those who had dissent did not participate in the rebellion, but instead ran to collude with Liu Zhe, Liu Bei would be defeated.

Raising the butcher's knife to these people will affect his reputation and will be detrimental to his future career, but Zhuge Liang did not hesitate, Liu Bei trusted him enough to do things for Liu Bei like this.

This is Zhuge Liang's own style of doing things.

Zhuge Liang was thinking about things while walking.

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang noticed that someone was lining up in front of him. The long queue made Zhuge Liang curious.

"What's ahead?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Dong He shook his head. Although he was the commander of Chengdu, it was impossible for him to be familiar with the streets of Chengdu.

"Go and have a look."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Dong He, "Come out and encounter such a thing, go and see."

When Zhuge Liang and Dong He approached, they discovered that it was a rice shop and the people were lining up to buy rice.

"Why are so many people selling rice?" Zhuge Liang was surprised.

Generally speaking, there will not be too many people selling rice in rice shops, at least there will not be long queues to sell rice as they are now.

Dong He's face was a little dignified. As the commander of Chengdu, if there was a shortage of food in Chengdu, he was also responsible.

"Go and ask."

Zhuge Liang summoned a subordinate and asked him to inquire.However, before the subordinates asked, there was a commotion in the queue.

At first, people were talking in low voices, and gradually, anger appeared on the faces of the people.

"Why is the price going up again?"

"Yeah, the price went up only yesterday, and it goes up again today, so that people can't live?"

"The profiteer, this damn profiteer..."

"Reduce the price, we must reduce the price, otherwise we will not agree..."

The angry people stopped lining up and gathered around the door of the rice shop, protesting loudly.

"What's the noise?"

Soon, a potbellied owner who looked like a rice shop appeared. After he came out, he shouted loudly, "This is the price right now. If you like it or not, if you don't buy it, get out of the way, and I will be hindered from doing business."

"Why is the price going up again?" some people shouted loudly.

"Why?"

The boss smiled and said: "By the way, this shop belongs to this master. Master, if I want to increase the price, I will raise the price. The reason is that there is not much food in Chengdu now. Master, I kindly sell some food. What's wrong with the price increase? ?"

"Don't think about making trouble here."

The boss threatened, "Chengdu is now the Chengdu of the King of Chu, and Prime Minister Zhuge is in charge. If you dare to make trouble, then you will provoke the Prime Minister's knife, don't blame me, sir."

I have to say that the boss's threat was very effective. After hearing the words of the rice shop owner, the surrounding people did not dare to mess around. They had to disperse in the end except for a few words.

Of course, some people continued to line up to buy rice, some people stared at the rice shop angrily, and some people left disappointed.

The people dispersed, and Zhuge Liang stopped using his subordinates to ask what was going on. He directly stopped one and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, what happened here?"

The person Zhuge Liang intercepted was an old man in his fifties. He glanced at Zhuge Liang and Dong He and saw that their appearance and demeanor were not ordinary people. The price of food has gone up.”

"The price of rice grains has risen?"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Dong He in surprise. Dong He's expression was very solemn. Dong He did not know the news, nor did he tell Zhuge Liang.

"you do not say."

The old man seemed to be pouring bitter water on Zhuge Liang: "This is the fifth price increase this month. Before, I could buy ten days' worth of rice grain, but now I can only buy half a day's worth of rice grain."

"So expensive?" Zhuge Liang was taken aback and his expression became serious.

The problem revealed in this is a big one.
