God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

For Vologases V in this situation, the people led by Sima Yi, no matter how many they came, were a kind of thoughtfulness and willpower, reflecting the degree of recognition of him by the Han Empire.

With this external force, when cleaning up and reorganizing the internal affairs, those people who are already afraid of the consequences will naturally become more cautious.

If those who rebel against him cannot gather enough strength within the first period of time and firmly confront Vologases V, then the so-called resistance will only be a delay of time.

The joys and sorrows of different people are often not the same.

What was a happy event for Vologases V was not so happy for some nobles in Ctesiphon.

The conflict between the nobles and the emperor was an open fact throughout the Parthian Empire, not a so-called unspoken rule.

Relying on the previous economic development and profit acquisition, Vologases V not only gathered a large amount of wealth around him, but also a large number of businessmen and common people.

Whether it was the people's support or wealth, he gained a lot, which was a very rare thing for an emperor.

Relying on the trade gains brought by the Silk Road and the high frequency of goods transactions over a period of time, not only did the silk market expand further, but it also refreshed the concept of silk among the Romans and further solidified the role of silk.

What is luxury?
In one case, things that most people cannot use or cannot afford are the real luxury goods.

In another case, alternative luxury goods will emerge, that is, luxury goods that are recognized by everyone.

When everyone considers an item to be a luxury item, it can be considered a luxury item even if its price is not very high.

If we compare the silk of the past, we can only say that it is the former, because it was only spread among the Roman nobles and some Roman citizens, spreading its excellence and quality.

However, the large-scale trade in silk not only met the needs of many Roman nobles, but also allowed many Roman citizens to learn about this thing, and even some barbarians were able to experience silk.

The silk, which originally had the first attribute, also has the second attribute.

Those are the people who can afford to wear silk. They are not the people of the Roman Senate. They are the Roman citizens, the backbone of the country and the national aristocracy.

There is no need to prove your identity or explain your family background; the silk on your body can speak for you.

Excellent silk is able to demonstrate outstanding background, extraordinary military power, extraordinary courage and great wealth.

Relying on one ideology and value concept after another, the Romans, who were already crazy about silk, became even crazier.

Of course, on the surface, the Roman Empire still maintained its fairness and justice.

All citizens of the Roman Empire were equal and fair in terms of class attributes. As for what they wore, at least nothing was said on the surface.

But once some things are exposed, whether it is for the sake of competition, family face, or personal comfort, excellent silk is the only choice.

It is this diverse mentality that can be said to have further expanded the silk market and demand for silk within the Roman Empire. Supply and demand determine economic prices. This obvious surge in demand, corresponding to the gradually decreasing supply of silk, will naturally drive up prices.

It can be said that the huge trade deficit caused a lot of the Roman Empire's wealth, real gold coins, to flow into the Parthian Empire one after another.

The influx of a large amount of wealth, coupled with the Parthian Empire's previous support and assistance for business activities, directly enabled the Parthian Empire to maintain an unprecedented prosperity.

Enough money to buy enough things, coupled with the habit and ability of doing business, the wealth circulated in the market of the Parthian Empire is already greater than the wealth needed for normal circulation of the empire.

It can be said that for the vast majority of classical countries, money was never in short supply from beginning to end.

However, the country often has no money, or there is no money in the market. The reason is very simple, that is, the money in deposits is far greater than the money in circulation.

This results in the wealth circulating in the market being far less than the market demand, and a situation similar to deflation will occur.

Once this kind of manifestation appears, except for a few bold and reckless people, this negative cycle will continue for a long time until the distrust of the market is overcome and the opportunity for rapid development can be regained.

The situation in the Parthian Empire was the opposite. The wealth that needed to circulate in the market was not high, and the amount of goods needed to be bought and sold was obviously not enough for the large amount of money.

In this situation where supply exceeds demand, even real metal currency will experience a certain degree of economic inflation in the face of this situation.

While the Roman Empire's economy was shrinking inward, the Parthian Empire's wealth was expanding.

Just from this perspective, the status of everything in the future may change.

If things have reached this point and are still within the normal range of economic operations and can be influenced through policies and reality, then some of the operations that will be carried out afterwards will make Liu Tong feel his scalp tingling when he sees them.

If it is just normal economic means, then in this situation close to classical, even if there is a scope of destruction and coverage, it will not be too outrageous, and countless cities will not be affected in a short period of time.

But unfortunately, this kind of economic means, no matter how you look at it, can not be called mediocre.

...

"So Zhongda, who came up with this idea? What kind of thinking led to such a decision?" Lu Jun tried his best to calm down and looked at Sima Yi calmly.

Even though Sima Yi had said before that he did not do it, who was Lu Jun?

It's not like he hasn't played economic warfare and policy support before. He is very good at it and naturally knows some of the knowledge involved. Knowledge that seems to be common sense is not something that can be learned in a few days, even if the other party is a genius.

"Vologases V just needs a name, an excuse, an excuse to stabilize the country before fighting foreign enemies. So he needs an opportunity, an opportunity with pressure. As an outsider, I am very suitable in this regard, so I thought of a simpler policy..." After making sure that there was no one around, Sima Yi finally spoke his mind, which was at least half true.
