    Zhuge Liang's expression changed drastically, and Dong He's expression didn't look much better either.

    Zhuge Liang and Dong He are not stupid people. On the contrary, they are both smart people. The old man in front of them doesn't say much, but the information revealed is enough to make Zhuge Liang and Dong He frightened.

    "What's going on?" After bidding farewell to the old man, Zhuge Liang asked Dong He with a solemn expression.

    "My subordinates will go and investigate this matter immediately." Dong He said, and then left in a hurry.

    Zhuge Liang looked at Dong He leaving, his brows furrowed and his expression very ugly. He had a bad premonition in his heart.

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

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

    In fact, Zhuge Liang also sent people to inquire about the news in the past two days and learned some information. However, for more specific information, we still have to ask Dong He and Wang Lei.

    "It was my negligence to reply to the Prime Minister"

    Although Wang Lei came to ask for help when Liu Bei personally came to ask for help, he was still a little arrogant and did not bother to call himself a subordinate in front of Zhuge Liang. He faced Zhuge Liang and told the matter in detail.

    It turns out that after Zhuge Liang slaughtered a group of disloyal people in Chengdu last time, many of these people were officials from his old subordinates. When they were killed, they still had official positions.

    Now that Zhuge Liang is dealing with it, others must be promoted to fill their vacant positions.

    However, the initial efficiency of the new person is definitely not as good as that of the original person, which results in low efficiency.

    Secondly, Zhuge Liang¡¯s methods at that time frightened other people. Once the orders from above came down, they had to complete them even if they risked their lives.

    Zhuge Liang handed over the matter of collecting grain and grass to Wang Lei and others. After the orders from above came down, the people below had to complete even burning, killing and looting.

    But Yizhou has experienced a long war between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, and a lot of food, grass and personnel have been consumed.

    If you want to return to Liu Zhang's previous level, it won't 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 grain and grass are collected from Jingzhou, the journey is long and the consumption is huge. The only way to collect grain and grass is from Yizhou.

    In order to fulfill the instructions given by the superiors, the people below had to forcibly requisition grain and grass from the people. But now the grain and grass of the Yizhou people are barely enough to fill their stomachs. After the grain and grass are requisitioned, the food in hand will definitely not be enough.

    This is why I saw people selling grain in Chengdu.

    After Zhuge Liang heard this, he completely understood.

    In a word, Yizhou is beginning to be short of food.

    No matter what the reason was, Yizhou began to be short of food, and the people began to have insufficient food to eat.

    At this time, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but exclaimed "lucky" in his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

    "If it hadn't been discovered early, if it continued like this, Yizhou would have fallen into a food shortage sooner or later.

    The current Yizhou can still barely support itself by relying on the foundation laid by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. If it continues, Yizhou will explode sooner or later.

    Zhuge Liang also felt depressed in his heart. The butcher knife he raised before finally hurt himself faster than Zhuge Liang imagined.

    The people below do not dare to speak out or report when they encounter difficulties, so they can only exploit the common people.

    Oh shit.

    Zhuge Liang thought about it over and over, and finally couldn't help but burst out in his heart.

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

    If Liu Zhe hadn¡¯t suddenly come in, there wouldn¡¯t be such a situation today.

    "If I don't do my job well, I hope the Prime Minister will punish me." Wang Lei finally said.

    Zhuge Liang slowly shook his head and said, "Sir, this is not my fault, everything is my responsibility."

    In fact, if the investigation is held, Wang Lei will have a big responsibility for his ineffective supervision, but Zhuge Liang is too lazy to pursue the responsibility at this time. After all, the biggest responsibility is Zhuge Liang.

    It wasn¡¯t that he put Wang Lei in charge of collecting grain and grass, it wasn¡¯t that he promoted a large number of people to fill vacant positions, it wasn¡¯t that he raised the butcher knife to scare the people below, and if he had to deceive others, things would not have turned out like this.

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

    Yizhou is now short of food. If there is no way to solve it, Yizhou will fall into turmoil and eventually chaos, and then Liu Bei will definitely fail and even lose his life.?zhou.

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

    "With the constant fighting, even if there is a harvest, it won't be much." Wang Lei shook his head.

    Liu Bei and Liu Zhang have been fighting in Yizhou for almost three years. How many people can grow food with peace of mind during the war?

    Zhuge Liang's face was expressionless. After all, Liu Bei was the one who started the constant war. 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 of mind.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
