The elders felt relieved upon hearing this, but at the same time, some couldn't help but think: It seems Caesar has fully taken control of the prosperous Egypt; his strength might become even greater!
Then the following words from Caesar made the elders feel tense again.
"However, since Egypt has just ended its civil war, the wheat stocks are nearly exhausted, and grain supplies will only be available after the harvest. There will be a few months of grain shortage during this period. If Rome cannot endure this time, conflicts and chaos will occur, and they will be more intense than they are now. So how should this be solved?"
The elders looked at each other, with no one answering.
