The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

"Hey, [-] gold, for the Sima family in Hanoi, which is not in business, it must be hurting." Zhuge Liang gloated.

"What is this? Dare to hurt the lord, this matter is endless." Chen Dao said indignantly.

"You don't understand! Hurting Sima Yi alone is nothing at all. These big families are most afraid of shaking their foundations. One assassination will make the Sima family pay such a price. Will he dare to take the next step?" Zhuge Liang said.

This silent threat is more effective.It is impossible for Liu to be on guard against backstabbing all the time, so it is most important for those behind the scenes to recognize the consequences.

"Just let the Sima family be wiped out!" Chen Dao said.

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes.

Chen Dao didn't flinch, and insisted on thinking so.

"Uncle Zhi is right, this is not enough." Liu Ke said.

Hearing this sentence suddenly, Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh.

"Why did Kong Ming sigh?"

"It's not easy to survive in troubled times. If the family is like this, it will be overthrown if it moves, let alone the people?"

Liu Ke didn't dislike Zhuge Liang because of his words.

"Kong Ming, I'm very happy that you can realize something."

The people who suffer the most in the world are the people. As the saying goes, when people are prosperous, the people suffer, and when they die, the people suffer.

The change of dynasties is always accompanied by killing, Liu Ke has no way to stop it, he can only do his best to save the people.

There were three main reasons for the sharp drop in population during the troubled times of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The first one is the chaos caused by direct killings.

The second is hunger. The people are displaced, there is no stable production environment, and many people starve to death.

The third is the plague, and the plague is the most terrible thing. The Central Plains is empty.

Now, Liu Ke has solved the second and third problems. The first problem still needs some time.

"My lord, I believe that the prosperous age is coming." Zhuge Liang looked forward.

Liu Ke nodded without denying it.

Just when several people were deeply moved, Liu Ke received a letter.

The letter is from the Chishui Army.

Liu Ke took it apart and looked at it, and immediately sneered.

"Kong Ming, take a look."

Zhuge Liang glanced at it, showing a look of sympathy.

"The Yamatai Kingdom is so bold! They even seized the merchant ships in Yangzhou, aren't they afraid of our retaliation?"

It turned out that the last time Liu Ke was awarded the king's ceremony, he rejected the mission of Yamatai Kingdom. They held a grudge, so they seized a huge merchant ship in Yangzhou.

There is only one trade relationship between Yangzhou and Yamatai, which is to exchange cheap grain for their minerals.

Both parties clearly marked the price!

For a long time, the Chishui Army has suppressed the Yamatai Kingdom with a strong force, so that they dare not act recklessly.

This seizure of the ship is outrageous.

For the small Yamatai country to act so boldly, it is simply provoking the majesty of the Chishui Army.

The generals and soldiers of the Chishui Army were furious, clamoring to attack Yamatai and let them perish.

Therefore, after Gan Ning learned of this, he did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly reported to Liu Ke.

If it is not handled well, it will be bad if it causes mutiny.

After Zhuge Liang calmed down, he persuaded:

"My lord, Yamatai is poor and remote, and it's not worth using force at all."

Of course Liu Ke knew, it was just that this matter had to be dealt with, otherwise everyone would follow suit, and it would be difficult for future children to take care of.

"Go back to Dongyang and discuss."

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to obey.

After returning to Dongyang City, there were many discussions on the streets.

"What happened?" Liu Ke couldn't help asking.

Chen Dao hurriedly went to inquire, but it turned out that they were all discussing crimes committed by the Yamatai kingdom.

"What happened? This kind of secret is leaked casually?" Liu Ke was a little speechless.

He advocates freedom of speech, but key speech must still be controlled.

Take, for example, the seizure of merchant ships by the Yamatai Kingdom this time.

Liu Ke didn't even deal with it himself, and everyone knew about it, which was simply dereliction of duty.

Seeing that Liu Ke was a little angry, Chen Dao added, "It's the Yangzhou Times."
