Inside Liu Bei's study
Liu Bei, who was dealing with official business, suddenly someone came in, he raised his head slightly, and when he saw the visitor, he immediately stood up and walked towards the visitor with an excited face:
"Military division, you came just in time!"
"Come and see, the disaster situation in the entire territory has been completely controlled now!"
"And we don't need any more disaster relief!"
"It can save a lot of money, and now we can invest more in military equipment and train more soldiers."
The person who came was Zhuge Liang. In Liu Bei's study, he could come in at will without being notified. Apart from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang was the only one.
The rest of the people, no matter how much they like it, must be notified before they can enter.
It can be seen from this that Liu Bei attaches great importance to Zhuge Liang, and he dragged Zhuge Liang to his desk, full of joy.
"My lord, there is one thing that Liang must report to the lord!"
"I hope the lord can prevent it in advance!"
There was not much joy in Zhuge Liang's eyes, Zhuge Liang also knew about Jiang Chen sending people to confuse the people in the south of the Yangtze River to plant rice.
Through research, he finally got some clues.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Seeing Zhuge Liang's serious expression, Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment. It must not be a trivial matter to make Zhuge Liang frown.
"It's about people planting rice!"
"This matter is very wrong, so we must take precautions in advance!"
Reported by Zhuge Lianghui.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with doubts on his face. In his opinion, this is a plan to kill three birds with one stone, and there is no more appropriate way than this.
Not only solved the disaster, but also allowed the people to settle down, the most important thing is that he also saved money, and the future tax revenue was also guaranteed.
He once thought that Jiang Chen was the savior. While saving the people, he also saved him by the way.
"My lord, it looks like there's nothing wrong with it!"
"But if you think about it carefully, the people have planted rice. In the future, all the food will be in Jiang Chen's hands!"
"By then, there will be no food in the world!"
"If he sits on the ground and raises the price, wouldn't our life and death be completely controlled by Jiang Chen?"
"Today's petty gains, in the future, we will have to repay the price ten times, or even a hundred times. Jiang Chen is not the savior of the world, he can't help the lord for no reason!"
"My lord, please think twice!"
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei broke out in a cold sweat.
If what Zhuge Liang said was true, it would be too terrifying. After all, food is the life of a person. If there is no food, wouldn't it be lifeless?
By then, no matter how much money you have, it will be of no use if you have no food to eat and you will still starve to death!
"In the opinion of the military advisor, how should this matter be handled?"
Liu Bei grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and asked in a panic.
"My lord, this matter, as far as it is concerned, does not cause much harm for the time being!"
"It is only necessary for the Lord to sign a new contract with the stewards of each leased land when the people are harvesting grain, and absolutely not to raise prices on the ground!"
"What is provided to the people must be ready food, not currency. Only in this way can we prevent the situation where we will have no food available!"
Zhuge Liang told Jiang Chen his thoughts.
"This matter indeed makes sense!"
"Military division, then I will leave this matter to you to handle!"
"Immediately send people to each leased area and negotiate with the person in charge of them. If they don't agree, we must control the food first and we must not let them take it away!"
"Even if it's cooperation, it can't be calculated!"
Liu Bei nodded, and handed over the matter to Zhuge Liang. With his personal ability, he obviously couldn't handle such a thing well.
He is only good at acting, and not very good at anything else!
"Yes, my lord!"
"Liang will deal with this immediately!"
"After all, the issue of food is related to the stability of the territory! There must be no mistakes!"
Zhuge nodded.
He was also aware of the seriousness of this matter, and Jiang Chen's actions could not be targeted indiscriminately. This time, fortunately, he discovered it early.
If this is discovered late, it is very likely that he will suffer a huge price.
"Military division, luckily you found out this time, otherwise it would be over!"
"As for Brother Zhongmou, Beizi will go to support him!"
"You can't let him fall into Jiang Chen's tricks, of course, you can get some benefits from it by the way!"
"Bei is going to meet Brother Zhongmou right now, go get busy!"
"There are military advisers in the territory, don't worry!"
Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang's hand and walked out of the study enthusiastically.
Although Zhuge Liang felt that his emphasis on talents was a bit hypocritical, it also moved him a little, if Liu Bei hadn't betrayed him to gain profits.
Maybe Zhuge Liang will always follow Liu Bei and not betray. After all, Zhuge Liang has always been ashamed of betrayal.
However, this time, his heart was not as firm as before.
"My lord, go slowly!"
Zhuge Liang watched the back of Liu Bei who left in a hurry, and then left Liu Bei's mansion.
"Military division, what's the point of finding the younger one?"
A soldier came to Zhuge Liang and asked respectfully.
Zhuge Liang is not only a good hand in handling government affairs, but also has a very strong ability in military affairs. Without Zhuge Liang, the Three Kingdoms would not be possible.
It is also impossible for Liu Bei to establish the Kingdom of Shu for decades, Cao Cao absolutely cannot tolerate it.
The main reason is that Zhuge Liang is too difficult to deal with, and Cao Cao is not sure to wipe him out. He can only consume one of them, and everyone is expending huge energy to fight against him.
In the end, all three were defeated and the national treasury was empty. Then the people on the grassland found an opportunity and launched a brutal and inhumane incident of Wu Huan's rebellion against China.
"Go and invite some adults, Liang has something to call them to do!"
Zhuge Liang ordered.
"Yes, I will notify you immediately!"
The soldier nodded, and immediately mounted his horse and ran towards the distance, obviously looking for those internal affairs officials.
As for Liu Bei, he went directly to Sun Quan's temporary residence by boat, and wanted to inform Sun Quan of the news as soon as possible.
After all, he is also Sun Quan's sister-in-law. Last time he cheated his family, this time, he has to make up for whatever he says.
Taking a boat from Balu to Jiangxia is not far away, and the current wind is just southerly, so Liu Bei can quickly approach Jiangxia with the help of the wind.
Therefore, when Liu Bei came to Jiangxia, it was still early, and the navy guarding Jiangxia quickly discovered Liu Bei and chose to let him go.
This was explained by Sun Quan. Now that the Sun and Liu families are united, in order to show the trust between each other, Liu Bei entered Jiangxia. As long as there are not many people in his hands, there is no need to report.
However, there will be someone in front of you who will lead the way. They say they are leading the way, but they are also monitoring you in a certain sense. Who knows if you have any little conspiracy in your heart. After all, Liu Bei was also the one who once borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan but refused to return it.
