What kind of answer will Zhuge Liang give to this matter?

After years of getting along, Zhuge Liang has gradually changed from a god-like figure to a close friend in Liu He's heart.

He knows very well that Zhuge Liang's personality is diametrically opposed to himself.

His personality is flamboyant, while Zhuge Liang is very cautious, whether it is the angle from which he looks at things or the way he deals with problems, the two are completely different.

Liu He has always been very careful to handle the relationship between the two of them, and he hopes that between himself and Zhuge Liang is complementary, not incompatible.

This is also the reason why he wants to hand over all government affairs to Zhuge Liang alone, not that he is unwilling to take on that heavy responsibility, but he is afraid that if there are any differences of opinion in the process, there will be a rift in their relationship.

However, today, the situation that he had thought about before, but did not dare to think deeply, finally happened.

Falling apart due to political disagreement.

Zhuge Liang personally drafted and issued this decree, he was a hundred disagree, this result, of course, Zhuge Liang should have expected this result, but he still chose to do so, and he chose it when he was not in Chengdu.

In case, Zhuge Liang can't listen to his own persuasion and insists on carrying out this decree that is enough to destroy the entire Yizhou economy, how should he choose?

Is it a blatant turn of face and want to abolish this decree, or would you rather watch the land of Shu wither day by day, but also preserve the love between brothers?

Liu He didn't want to see these two situations, let alone face them.

So the hand, always hovering in mid-air, didn't knock on the knocker.

"Is it Boxian?" Zhuge Liang's faint voice suddenly came from the room.

Liu He's heart tightened.

The voice was so weak, and the owner of the voice, apparently from the hard work of the day and night, had little strength to make any louder noise.

"Since you're here, come in."

Liu He adjusted his mood, pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as I entered the house, a strong smell of herbs came to my face.

Liu He looked at the bowl of steaming decoction on the table, and said softly: "If you don't take the medicine, you won't be able to get better, so let's drink the medicine while it's hot." ”

As he spoke, Liu He picked up the decoction and walked towards Zhuge Liang's bed.

"Don't come here!" Zhuge Liang immediately shouted, and began to cough violently again because of excessive force.

Liu He held the bowl of decoction that was about to lose its temperature, stood in place, and did not go any further.

He suddenly felt that there was something between himself and Zhuge Liang, just like the screen in front of him blocking his vision at this time.

Maybe this incident will also become a screen, which will completely separate the two from now on, and there is no possibility of heart-to-heart.

Sadly, who put down this screen, when it was placed, and who could move it away, these Liu He wanted to know, but he didn't know.

"The doctor said that my illness may be passed on to others, if you have anything to say, you can say it outside." Zhuge Liang said weakly.

In Liu He's heart, there was suddenly an inexplicable sense of relaxation.

He needed a reason so badly, a reason why he would want to put this screen between the two of them.

He may not care whether the answer given by Zhuge Liang is reasonable or not, as long as Zhuge Liang is willing to give, Liu He feels that everything is still salvageable.

He gently put the bowl of decoction back on the table, sat down on the chair next to him, and said calmly: "In the past few months since I left, Chengdu City seems to have changed, do you know this?" ”

There was silence on the other side of the screen for a long time, and then Zhuge Liang's faint voice came, "I know, you will definitely come to me for this matter." I'll just say it directly, I received news that Cao Cao and Sun Quan are both recruiting troops, and if we don't do it sooner, our strength will be worse and farther away. Expanding armaments requires silver, so that's the only way I can do it. ”

"Your method is like a seedling to grow, and it is not a long-term solution at all. Besides, you should know a little bit about the situation outside, and you can't even solve the urgent needs in front of you. The tax is so heavy that those merchants dare not do business anymore, and if there is no business, there will be no tax silver, what will you use to expand your armament? ”

Liu He's words thought about it all the way, but as soon as the words came out, it seemed to have been expected by Zhuge Liang.

"Do you know how much tax money was collected in the first month of the new policy? I have thought about all of what you said, but the result is that the amount of tax silver collected in the first month is equivalent to the sum of the past six months, and with this amount of silver, it is enough to maintain the expenses of a year. ”

"And after that?" Liu He's emotions were obviously a little excited, "Except for the first month, I'm afraid I won't be able to collect anything, even if that month can last half a year, what about half a year later?" ”

"It won't take that long, I have already explained this matter to the Fazheng, and on the first day of the next month, this decree will be abolished." Zhuge Liang said, suddenly paused, "I didn't expect that you would go out for so long and come back, I really made a mistake, a mistake......"

Liu He didn't say anything more, in this matter, he did have a bit of a loss, and threw everything to Zhuge Liang, but he himself took a group of brothers out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

At this juncture, he encountered such a big thing, and Zhuge Liang had no one around him to discuss, and he was seriously ill, so there was such an omission.

Today is the twenty-fifth, and it is almost the end of the month, and in just five days, it is estimated that there will be no more major problems, and by the beginning of next month, this decree will be repealed, and everything will still have room for maneuver.

After finishing the matter, Liu He asked a few more words about Zhuge Liang's condition, and after learning that Zhuge Liang was only infected with wind and cold, and there was no major problem, Liu He relieved himself.

Coming out of Zhuge Liang's room, the group of guards were still surrounding the door, holding halberds, staring at Liu He nervously.

Liu He sighed, didn't say anything more, and walked straight forward.

There were nearly a hundred guards, but no one dared to step forward to stop them, so they had to watch this uninvited Mr. Tianji swagger away.

At dinner time, the people of the Tianji Camp, who had rested and adjusted for half a day, reassembled in Liu He's mansion.

Everyone was relieved to learn that the decree would be repealed early next month.

When they left the Drunken Immortal Mansion just now, they didn't know the existence of this decree, but Zhong Lixun and Pang Tong still explained to the others the possible consequences according to the depressed scene they saw.

According to the unanimous statement of Zhong Lixun and Pang Tong, if this is the case, I am afraid that in less than three months, the entire city of Chengdu will be paralyzed.
