I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

"How could it be?" Zhuge Liang asked again.

"Isn't it because of the war? We fight every day, and all the rice and grain we can eat is taken to the war. How much rice and grain can we ordinary people have enough to eat?"

When Zhuge Liang heard the words, his face changed greatly. ..

3123, Yizhou lacks food, the crisis appears

Zhuge Liang's complexion changed greatly, and Dong He's complexion was also not good-looking.

Zhuge Liang and Dong He were not stupid. On the contrary, they were both smart people. The old man in front of him didn't say much, but the information revealed was enough to make Zhuge Liang and Dong He tremble.

"What's the matter?" After saying goodbye to the old man, Zhuge Liang asked Dong He with a solemn expression.

"My subordinates will go and find out immediately." Dong He said, and then left in a hurry.

Zhuge Liang looked at Dong He who was leaving, his brows were wrinkled, his expression was very ugly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

In less than two days, Dong He and Wang Lei came to see Zhuge Liang together.

"What's going on?" Zhuge Liang asked directly as soon as they met.

In fact, Zhuge Liang has also sent people to inquire about the news in the past two days, and he has learned some things, but for more specific information, he still needs to ask Dong He and Wang Lei.

"Returning to the Prime Minister, it is the negligence of the subordinate..."

Although Wang Lei came to Liu Bei himself to ask to leave the mountain, he was still a little arrogant. He was too lazy to call him a subordinate in front of Zhuge Liang.

It turned out that after Zhuge Liang slaughtered a group of people with dissent in Chengdu last time, many of these people were officials of the old family. When they were killed, they still had official positions.

After being dealt with by Zhuge Liang now, other people must be promoted to fill their vacant positions.

However, the efficiency of the new people at the beginning is definitely not as good as that of the original people, which leads to low efficiency.

Second, Zhuge Liang's methods at that time frightened other people, and when the above order came, they had to complete it with all their might.

Zhuge Liang entrusted Wang Lei and others to take charge of the collection of food and forage. The orders from above, even if the people below burned, killed, and looted had to be completed.

However, after the long war between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, Yizhou had consumed a lot of food and personnel.

If you want to return to Liu Zhang's previous level, it will not be possible within a few years.

But Liu Zhe called again, and there was no time for Yizhou to recover.

Liu Bei and Liu Zhe are fighting in Fucheng, and they will definitely need food and grass.

If the grain and grass are collected from Jingzhou, the distance is long, and the consumption is huge. Only from Yizhou is the grain and grass.

In order to complete what was explained above, the people below had to forcibly collect food and grass from the people, but now the people in Yizhou have enough food and grass to fill their stomachs, and the food and grass in their hands are definitely not enough.

This is why I saw people selling food in Chengdu.

After Zhuge Liang heard it, he completely understood.

In a word, Yizhou began to run out of food.

Whatever the reason, Yizhou began to run out of food, and the people began to run out of food.

At this time, Zhuge Liang couldn't help shouting a fluke in his heart, and cold sweat broke out from his back.

If it was not discovered early, if it continued like this, Yizhou would sooner or later fall into a food shortage.

The current Yizhou can still rely on the foundation laid by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang before, and if it continues, Yizhou will explode sooner or later.

Zhuge Liang was also depressed in his heart. The butcher knife he raised before finally hurt him, faster than Zhuge Liang imagined.

The people below did not dare to speak up when they encountered difficulties, did not dare to report, and could only squeeze the common people.

Oh shit.

Zhuge Liang thought about it, and finally couldn't help but feel rough in his heart.

In fact, the real reason for all this is because of Liu Zhe.

If it weren't for Liu Zhe's sudden attack, there would not be such a situation today.

"I don't do things well, and I hope the Prime Minister will punish you." Wang Lei said in the end.

Zhuge Liang shook his head slowly, and said, "It's not my fault sir, everything is the responsibility of Ben Cheng."

In fact, Wang Lei would have a lot of responsibility if he was prosecuted. Who made him ineffective in supervising him, but Zhuge Liang was too lazy to hold him accountable at this time. After all, the biggest responsibility was his Zhuge Liang.

It wasn't that he asked Wang Lei to be responsible for collecting food and grass, it wasn't that he promoted a large number of people to fill the vacant positions, it wasn't that he raised the butcher knife to frighten the people below, and if he had to deceive the top and the bottom, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

"The most important thing now is to find a solution." Zhuge Liang said.

Yizhou is now starting to lack food. If there is no way to solve it, Yizhou will fall into turmoil, and finally will be in chaos, and then Liu Bei will definitely fail, and even lose Yizhou because of this.

"Prime Minister, there are still more than two months before the harvest season, so the food and grass problem can be alleviated by then." Dong He said.

"Continuous fighting, even if there is a harvest, it is not much." Wang Lei shook his head and said.

Liu Bei and Liu Zhang fought in Yizhou for almost three years. Under the chaos of war, how many people could grow food with peace of mind?

Zhuge Liang was expressionless. After all, the constant war was provoked by Liu Bei. In his heart, Zhuge Liang agreed with Wang Lei's words.

Liu Bei and Liu Zhang fought in Yizhou for so long, which not only consumed a lot of Yizhou's reserves, but also made the people of Yizhou unable to live in peace. ..

3124, Zhuge Liang went to Fucheng in person
