God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Each other's work does not affect everyone's mood and attitude towards life.

For people like Jia Kui, having a job to do proves that he still has value.

The more work is shared with him and the more difficult it is, the less replaceable he is, which is also a good thing.

As long as he can withstand this pressure, his voice will become stronger and stronger, and his future can be said to be bright.

"Brother Liang, come and take a look at the information sent by Parthia. It is getting more and more strange. What's going on with these Romans?" Sima Yi handed the letter in his hand directly to Jia Kui and said with a touch of concern.

"Romans? What's wrong with them?" Listening to the Roman Empire, Jia Kui expressed that he could not understand.

"I just can't understand the Romans' way of thinking, it's too bizarre..." Sima Yi pointed at the content of the letter, spread his hands and said helplessly.

This could even make the knowledgeable Sima Yi feel confused and puzzled, and Jia Kui instantly became interested.

He temporarily put aside his busy work and read the letter in his hand. After reading the content, he fell silent for a moment, and at the same time he began to understand Sima Yi a little.

"I didn't expect the Romans to go to this extent. Don't they have any concept of country in their heads?" After being instructed by Sima Yi, Jia Kui, who had some economic foundation, looked at the contents of the letter and directly expressed his confusion.

For a huge country, the domestic economic foundation is a very critical indicator.

Whether a country is rich or poor, the treatment it enjoys is completely different.

Of course, this money refers to the amount that can actually be used to purchase corresponding materials, and excessive over-issuance is not included.

However, in this era, whether it is the gold coins of the Roman Empire or the Wuzhu coins of the Han Empire, in practical terms, they are all precious metal currencies.

In addition to their status as general equivalents, these currencies themselves also have corresponding value, so there is no problem of over-issuance.

Theoretically speaking, as long as this metal currency remains in the country, even if it is in a storage circulation, it will only reduce the money in the market and cannot reduce the actual total amount of money.

At most, the country has no money but the people have money, or the country has money but the people have no money, and the overall number is the same.

However, the Roman Empire, which purchased a large amount of silk, had its gold coins flow into the hands of the Parthian Empire and the Han Empire during this large-scale purchase.

This pure outflow, without sufficient inflow, would only lead to a significant decline in the economy of the Roman Empire, and the phenomenon of insufficient money would also arise.

Under normal circumstances, an empire facing this situation would either open mines directly to increase the amount of general equivalents to maintain the money circulating in the market, or curb this wrong trend to ensure that money does not flow out. Of course, there are some ruthless people who use both methods and even assist other methods.

However, neither of these two methods worked for the Roman Empire. In particular, the Duke of the Eastern Roman Empire, Ganasis, not only did he not stop this behavior, but he directly questioned the Parthian Empire in a condemning tone and words, asking why the silk trade was interrupted?
If the silk trade and the corresponding silk supply cannot be restored, then this behavior will be defined as a provocation to war. At that time, facing the army of the Roman Empire, the Parthian Empire will no longer have any dignity.

"They bought so much silk and spent so much money. Don't they feel any pain at all? No matter how good luxury goods are, they are just luxury goods after all. This is almost endangering the national finances, right?" Jia Kui said he couldn't understand.

If it is a personal pursuit of luxury goods, he can still understand it. After all, everyone has a different personality and people are always weird. Some rich people particularly like luxury goods, and there is nothing wrong with that.

However, the amount of silk they exported before was a very huge quantity, which was impossible for a single person to obtain. Even if it was a family, it was estimated that no family would do such a suicidal thing.

And even if it is a family, how many families in the world can have such great financial resources?
In other words, it is very likely that the entire Roman Empire was buying silk, which was a terrifying thing.

Being able to like something so much that it causes a financial crisis, but the first thing they do is not to save the finances and prevent the crisis from happening, but instead they try to continue buying silk. Can this kind of train of thought really be called an empire?
Thinking about the Roman Empire in this state, and then thinking about the group of lunatics and perverts in the Beigui region who were fighting for the princess, Jia Kui couldn't help but start to doubt, are the brain circuits of those who can be called an empire abnormal?

But after thinking about the Parthian Empire and the Han Empire he was in, Jia Kui finally put this idea behind him.

There are still normal empires in this world, but the two empires he encountered are obviously not normal empires.

An empire like Parthia has the strength and standards that an empire should normally possess.

Of course, what Jia Kui saw as Parthia was an empire, but in Sima Yi's view, it was just a super-large local regime.

Without a unified belief from top to bottom and without a sound system, having manpower, land and wealth accumulated over hundreds of years cannot change the reality that this country is extremely weak.

There are many things that need to be done to change this situation, but it is definitely not something that he can change alone.

Of course, Sima Yi’s priority now is not how to strengthen and develop Parthia, but how to give Parthia a more satisfactory answer under the current circumstances?

It was impossible to continue supplying silk as he did not have the power to mobilize more silk.

But if we don't supply silk, the Roman Empire doesn't seem to be joking. If a war really breaks out, there will probably be more headaches.

We can't just treat the Roman Empire as a weakling just because of its temporary defeat. Sima Yi is not so arrogant as to say that.

As for empires, Sima Yi, who had been taught by Liu Tong, naturally understood what kind of mentality he should have when treating and viewing these empires.

"According to the current situation, many things are like an arrow that has been released from a bowstring, there is no turning back. But in this case, I might as well add more fuel to the fire..." Sima Yi realized that this war was inevitable, and instantly went through it in his mind, thinking of some ways to make things difficult for the other side... (End of this chapter)
