"Military advisor, you must have heard about recent events!"
"Bei came to you just to ask you, how to deal with Jiang Chen's moves?"
"If we don't think about it, the caravan on our side will collapse, and the country will be unstable!"
"I don't know if the military division can do it?"
Liu Bei asked anxiously.
If there is no commercial tax revenue, then they will live in the same poor life as before.
Once people get used to a rich life, they will inevitably feel uncomfortable when they return to the time of the poor.
Now Liu Bei and others have understood that commercial tax is the fundamental way for them to make a fortune, and it is many times higher than agricultural tax.
But now Jiang Chen easily paralyzed them with one move.
Liu Bei felt very powerless, and Zhuge Liang may be the only one who can do something now.
"My lord, actually the root cause of this problem is not Jiang Chen!"
"It comes from within us!"
"If this problem is not resolved, I'm afraid such incidents will continue to happen!"
Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then said with some words.
“What’s wrong with us internally?”
Liu Bei was taken aback when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, and then asked.
"My lord, you actually know it in your heart!"
"The corruption in the officialdom is very serious!"
"If we don't clean up the team and drive those greedy people out of the government, I'm afraid this kind of thing can't be stopped!"
"If it wasn't for the people below ignoring the lord's order, Jiang Chen would have nothing to take advantage of today!"
Zhuge Liang sighed.
He understood that the reason why this kind of thing happened must be due to Liu Bei's silence.
According to Zhuge Liang's thinking, these people must be severely punished.
When this incident happened a month ago, the entire officialdom was shaken.
No one thought that the officials would secretly collude with the people who rented the land from Jiang Chen behind their backs, signed a cooperation agreement, and helped Jiang Chen plant a season of crops.
At that time, Liu Bei was also extremely angry and told Jiang Chen to severely punish these corrupt officials.
However, what I didn't expect was that the entire government united and put pressure on Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei would show mercy outside the law, otherwise they would resign collectively.
If they are willing to let them live, they are willing to pay double the tax to represent their respect and gratitude to Liu Bei.
At that time, Liu Bei did not follow Zhuge Liang's advice.
Faced with this huge tax, he chose to compromise.
This can be regarded as completely breaking Zhuge Liang's heart, although Zhuge Liang already knew that when faced with such a huge amount of temptation, Liu Bei would definitely choose the latter.
However, when the truth came, Zhuge Liang still sighed a little.
He didn't expect that the master he was loyal to would be such a person.
For the sake of profit, he can even disregard the basic ethics. Can such a person have a future with him?
Zhuge Liang at this time felt the huge gap between Liu Bei and Jiang Chen.
For a month, Zhuge Liang basically never met Liu Bei except for his work. Liu Bei seemed to be a little confused about how to face Zhuge Liang, and he never summoned him.
Until today, Liu Bei was so forced that he had no choice but to recruit Zhuge Liang hypocritically.
He just wanted Zhuge Liang to think of a way to solve the immediate crisis.
As for punishing those officials, the money has gone into his own pocket. If he punishes those officials again, wouldn't he become a person who breaks his word?
Liu Bei loves face, and he will definitely not break his promise to those gentry, this is a group he can't afford to offend!
"Back to the lord, there is no way!"
"If you want to solve it, you can try it!"
Zhuge Liang thought about it and said.
Anyway, now is not the time for him to fight Liu Bei, he needs to use Liu Bei's strength to fight Jiang Chen well.
Even if he failed, he was convinced that he had lost.
"any solution?"
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei felt his eyes light up.
He quickly grabbed Zhuge Liang, and looked at Zhuge Liang as if he were looking at a gold coin.
"Then Jiang Chen is so generous, give those good snow salt and cotton cloth to those common people!"
"Those are high-end luxury goods!"
"Most people are definitely not willing to use it!"
"Why don't those merchants buy it from the common people at a high price?"
"In this way, they can get countless high-end products and raw materials!"
"Selling it to those nobles at that time will definitely make those merchants make more money!"
"Such a good business opportunity, how could those profiteers miss it?"
Zhuge Liang said.
"Wonderful, military advisor, why didn't you think of this plan?"
"Go and tell them now!"
"Strategist, you've worked hard too. I won't leave you alone!"
After Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's suggestion, his eyes lit up.
He never expected that the solution would be so simple.
As long as the purchase of the goods in the hands of those common people is completed, and there is no stock in the hands of those ordinary people, then they still want to buy products from them?
With such a handover, they can immediately make money from ordinary people and nobles at the same time.
At that time, their products can be raised appropriately, so that the common people can spit out what they swallowed. Is their money so easy to earn?
"Lord, for such a simple truth, Jiang Chen must have already..."
Originally Zhuge Liang wanted to persuade Liu Bei again, Jiang Chen must be able to think of such a simple reason, even he can think of it.
How could he not take preventive strategies?
However, before he finished speaking, he realized that Liu Bei had already hurriedly disappeared from his sight.
Looking at the figure of Liu Bei who had disappeared, Zhuge Liang could only sigh secretly.
He came to Liu Bei's desk and wrote a line on the paper on his desk:
"Jiang Chen must be prepared! Master, please don't be impulsive!"
After writing this line, Zhuge Liang also hurriedly left Liu Bei's mansion.
Since the last incident, Zhuge Liang understood that there had been a huge gap between him and Liu Bei. This was due to differences in governing philosophy.
I thought Liu Bei was just a little greedy and a little hypocritical.
Now it seems that he can even accept the fact that those corrupt officials use money to buy crimes. How can such a master deserve his full service?
Fortunately, the decisive battle with Jiang Chen will come soon.
When the time comes, no matter he wins or loses, he will no longer choose to follow Liu Bei. He would rather farm in Nanyang and be a hermit than follow Liu Bei anymore.
This time, Zhuge Liang's heart was completely broken by Liu Bei.
Liu Bei also had no choice. After being forced into the palace by hundreds of officials, without the support of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, he directly showed his weakest side.
