I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 383 I, Da Wu, will fight Li Jian to the end!

"Your Majesty, what my uncle said makes sense. If this matter is not dealt with seriously, more people will inevitably have an affair with Li Jian. This is tantamount to siding with the enemy!"

Zhongshu ordered Sun Hong to come out and spoke sternly.

"And once the news reaches Sima Yi, Sima Yi will definitely use it as an excuse to close the horse market."

At this time, the Crown Prince and Tutor Wu Can could no longer control his anger. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Sir, please tell me."

"Just now Zhang Shusi said that I am an enemy, but I think otherwise." Wu Can argued, "The reason why I have a little deal with Jiangling is actually to arrange for people to go to Jiangling to investigate the enemy's situation."

"Oh?"

"Zhang Shusi just said that Jiangling is now prosperous. The many new policies introduced by Li Jian in Jiangling not only attracted our people, but also accumulated wealth and a large amount of military expenditure. I think that I, Da Wu, can follow suit."

Sun Quan's expression changed slightly and he said, "What are you imitating?"

But do you really want him to follow Li Heng's strategy?
What strategy?
Divide land? Or legislation?
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Xiu continued to add insult to injury, "Li Jian's strategy is to give all the money to the head of Guizhou! Isn't this ridiculous! Since ancient times, no one has given money to the head of Guizhou! If the head of Guizhou gets money and his life is better, what will they think? That’s more?”

"Nonsense!" Sun Quan slammed the table angrily, "Where did our great Wu come from external and internal troubles!"

"This..." Wu Can didn't know how to defend himself for a while.

No one would object to Zhang Xiu's statement.

I was stunned for a moment. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't explain it.

Hearing this, everyone began to nod.

"This...I don't know, but Jiangling's strategy..."

At this time, Lu Yin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now we are in trouble internally and externally, and Grand Tutor..."

Hasn’t Lord Shang already told everyone here about the powerful tools for governing the country?

Sun Hong, who was good at observing people's words and emotions, noticed Sun Quan's subtle emotional changes. He said to Wu Can, "Does the Crown Prince think that the great Wu is not as good as the small Jiangling?"

Sun Quan's face darkened, and he asked: "How prosperous is this small Jiangling, and why do I need to imitate its many policies?"

"Of course not, I just think Jiangling's many strategies are good, haven't we already..."

Zhang Xiu continued: "The head of Guizhou has too many ideas, how can the court govern the people?"

Wu Can said: "Imitate Li Jian."

"Since Luoyang didn't follow suit, there was certainly fraud involved!" Zhang Xiu said, "What kind of person is Sima Zhongda? Couldn't he see the changes in Jiangling? Why didn't he follow suit?"

Without giving Wu Can a chance to speak, Zhang Xiu asked, "Does Luoyang follow Li Jian Jiangling's strategy?"

"say no more!"

Maybe they had conflicts with each other because of the competition for the crown prince, but they were surprisingly consistent on how to govern Guizhou.

Obviously, Sun Quan followed Sima Yi because he wanted to follow the banknotes.

"Li Jian is rebellious!" Zhang Xiu's words were not shocking. His sharp eyes instantly glanced at Wu Can and he reprimanded angrily, "The Crown Prince wants to move all this over so that those Guizhou leaders can benefit. One day If they are no longer satisfied, will they go to the palace?"

Lu Yin was instantly blocked and said quickly: "I didn't mean that..."

The atmosphere in the hall became tense.

"I have explicitly prohibited any contact with Li Jian!" Sun Quan's face turned extremely ugly. "Come here, I will remove all my official positions from Wu Can and put him in jail!"

The imperial troops outside came in immediately.

"Your Majesty..." Zhu Ju also stood up.

"This matter does not need to be discussed further!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Xiu struck while the iron was hot, "I thought that one Wu Can was just found. Could there be many more Wu Can?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"I believe that from now on, we should order a complete ban on any goods from Jiangling. Anyone found to be using Jiangling's goods will be deemed guilty! Only in this way can we eliminate it from the source!"

"Your Majesty! You must not!" Lu Yin said, "This will cause chaos..." "What Zhang Shusi said makes sense!" Sun Quan said forcefully.

"His Majesty……"

Sun Quan stood up, flicked his long sleeves, and left the hall.

Wu Can was taken down.

Analyzing the Wucan case from the internal perspective of Wu State, it is not an affair with a foreign enemy, but the externalization of the internal struggle between the prince and the prince.

It is also a manifestation of the further fierce contradictions in the struggle between the prince and the prince.

As the prince's teacher, he was the first to be taken down, which made the princeling feel an unprecedented crisis.

This incident did not end with Wu Can being imprisoned. The news spread in Jianye that day, causing an even greater sensation.

However, the political forces of all parties are still in a state of restraint at this stage.

March 18th, Jiangling.

After Li Heng read Zhuge Liang's letter, he noticed from the lines that Guanzhong was recovering.

Like Jiangling, Guanzhong's population has increased significantly in the past year.

They mainly come from Longyou, Sizhou, Bingzhou and Jingzhou.

Sizhou has Hedong County and Hongnong County, and Jingzhou has Nanxiang County.

Many people from Hedong County crossed the Yellow River, while those from Hongnong County used Luoshui to enter the east of Lantian, and some crossed mountains and rivers to enter Guanzhong.

As for Nanxiang County in Jingzhou, it is much simpler. Pass through Wuguan, pass through Shang County, arrive at Shangluo, and enter Guanzhong.

Last year alone, the population of Guanzhong Plain increased by nearly 100,000.

Most of them came from Longyou, and some migrated from Hanzhong County.

It is said that more people will pass through Hanzhong County this year.

As for the currency distributed last year, it was as high as 50 million.

Li Heng couldn't help but sigh. According to this progress, Sima Yi might have received news about the population relocation of Hedong County and Hongnong County.

Sima Yi has even sent detailed inspections to Guanzhong.

Li Heng is naturally not afraid of Sima Yixue.

Because economic theory is not a panacea, it is closely related to productivity, ideology, land, and population.

There will be problems if you apply things mechanically.

For example, Guanzhong and Jingzhou are two independent regions. They have one thing in common: they are not large in scope.

There was a fatal point in using Keynesian macro-control in ancient times: transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, information transmission was slow, the court printed money, and the news fed back by the market had a serious lag.

This lag is directly proportional to the size of the region.

The larger the territory, the slower the news feedback is.

We all know that printing money creates inflation.

When inflation occurs, the court must adopt a monetary tightening strategy.

Before taking action, the court must decide its strategy according to the market.

This is the governance flaw caused by delayed news.

Therefore, governing a big country and a small country are different.

In this process, Sima Yi will definitely step into a trap.

For example, the price of food in Luoyang was low, and Sima Yi continued to print money. However, the price of food in Yecheng may have skyrocketed, but the paper money in Luoyang was still circulating to Jizhou, Yanzhou and other places.

This results in localized hyper-inflation.
