God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

It can be said that the two people developed completely different ideas based on their own strengths, and when it came to final implementation, Xu Shu still chose to support Sima Yi's ideas.

The reason is very simple, that was the Parthian Empire, not the Han Empire.

Even if the Parthian Empire needed to bleed the Roman Empire to prevent it from over-expanding, it should not have gone to that extent.

Sima Yi's ideas and plans could not only bring huge benefits and strengthen the market, but also reduce the economic level of the Roman Empire and suck the blood of the Roman Empire, which could be regarded as the completion of the original goal.

"Warfare is a matter of deception! War is often just an extension of politics. When observing the overall situation of a war, we cannot just look at the surface of the war. We also have to look at many things outside the battlefield..." Sima Yi looked at Xu Shu, who was working hard after returning to the Pamirs area, and gave him some advice.

As for Sima Yi himself, his recognition of Xu Shu was actually not very high.

Xu Shu's talent was terrifying, not inferior to him at all. Although he missed a lot of golden time for learning, he made up for it at the end. His foundation was still solid. Relying on the direction extended from this foundation, he was able to be first-class in front of the wise men of the world.

But considering Xu Shu's talent, he is only first-rate. Is it really worthy of such a talent?

Others don’t know the situation, but doesn’t Sima Yi know the real situation?

In Sima Yi's opinion, as Liu Tong's apprentice, Xu Shu enjoyed more teacher education than most people in the world today.

But it was precisely because of this kind of education and Xu Shu's talent that the foundation was quickly supplemented and consolidated.

However, even with this foundation, Liu Tong and others did not teach Xu Shu how to develop, or how to build his own system after the foundation had been built.

Although everyone hopes that Xu Shu can go out on his own and build a new set of things that are unique to him, the time required for this is completely unpredictable.

Sima Yi, who is broad-minded and knowledgeable, naturally knows what Xu Shu, who is specialized and skilled, lacks. Under the current circumstances, if he learns a little more about other things and touches on some other aspects, his strength will definitely improve significantly.

"But what I have accumulated is still not enough..." Xu Shu shook his head and looked at the military book in his hand again, a military book that didn't even have a name, and sighed softly.

"Your military book..." Sima Yi noticed this scene and glanced sideways at the military book in Xu Shu's hand. Looking at the rather brief content, he knew that it was definitely not written by Teacher Xu Shu.

Except for a few special versions, the military books written by Liu Tong are all simple and easy to learn. He treats other people as fools, and they just need to follow the situations written in the book and take one step at a time.

That kind of military book is just about how to fight stupid battles, with no technical content at all. Reading it too much will even pollute your brain. After Sima Yi read one, he had no intention of reading a second one.

"This military book has many contradictions, so it's a bit of a headache to read, but the concept is very high, it's a very good military book, I'm still far from this level..." Xu Shu, who thought he was very knowledgeable about military tactics, was completely overwhelmed after receiving a series of military books. The so-called self-advantages and learning paths were almost completely destroyed when encountering such a fantasy book.

"Inconsistencies? Who wrote this? Isn't this misleading?" Sima Yi blurted out this sentence when he heard it, but he reacted after he finished speaking.

The military books in Xu Shu's hands were basically given to him by Liu Tong. Although Liu Tong was a quiet person who enjoyed his personal time, one thing was quite true.

That is, the books that come out of Liu Tong's hands must have their own unique features. Even if they are sometimes full of nonsense, there must be essence hidden in them.

A book like this one, which is condensed into bytes, is something you can only come across by chance.

Even Sima Yi himself had only seen it once before and had never seen it again since then. This was the second time.

"Even if it is misleading, it can be regarded as a practical expression. With our abilities, you and I should know that there are some things in this world that cannot be thought about with common sense." Xu Shu pointed at himself, then at Sima Yi, and said with some emotion.

Sima Yi, listening to this sigh, looked up at the western sky and felt a little worried.

I didn't feel anything before, but now I suddenly react.

The so-called win-win-win situations are superior to the unlimited blood-letting of the Roman Empire, but does the Roman Empire really have so much blood to bleed?

If this situation could not be supported, what would the Roman Empire do?
Individuals can lose their minds, but can an empire really lose its mind?
Is it really possible to invest unlimitedly in a luxury like silk, which is consumed by the nobility?

Thinking of this, Sima Yi instantly thought of the official countermeasures that the Roman Empire might take, and then nodded secretly.

"In this case, I'm afraid the silk trade business won't be able to last long. If we want to gain sustained profits, we'll have to do it over a long period of time. But now that the trade has been opened, it may not be easy to take it back..." Sima Yi thought of his plan and realized the gap in it. While he was talking about it, he was also thinking about a remedial plan in his mind.

This plan would require that people be able to have a safe ending after the Roman Empire issued a clear ban on the purchase of silk and completely eliminated the silk trade.

It was necessary to reduce the inventory in the hands of the Parthian Empire's silk merchants to avoid excessive losses and serious collapse of the Parthian Empire so as to prevent the Roman Empire from bleeding; at the same time, it was also necessary to appease the domestic silk merchants to avoid resistance and negative forces caused by a temporary reduction in profits.

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be a troublesome thing.

"I also think that this kind of business is not sustainable. Once the quantity of luxury goods increases, it will be difficult for them to enjoy the positioning and status of luxury goods. Will the nobles still recognize such things by then? With so much gold spent every year, it is hard for me to imagine how much they actually bought? Or, Zhongda, how much did you actually sell?" Xu Shu agreed with this, but also asked with curiosity.

"I'm not sure. This kind of thing is done by professionals. I just control the channels. But the number should be quite large. Let them restrain themselves a little. It should be fine..." Sima Yi naturally knew that blocking someone's money was like killing their parents, but at this time, he had to take action to curb it. (End of this chapter)
