The Strongest System To Dominate the Three Kingdoms - Chapter 1188
Shuchuan, Liu Bei has long been proclaimed emperor, after a year or two of hard work, the development of Shuchuan is still very good.
There is no war here. When Liu Bei started to do his best, the army has grown to 300,000.
And he has Pang Tong’s help, and he manages all aspects very well.
However, when Zhang Yu defeated Sun Ce and Cai Wei one after another, and then killed Cao Cao, he immediately understood that he would never be able to fight out in his life.
No chance, unless Zhang Yu suddenly died suddenly.
In time, Zhang Yu had an accident and it was useless. He still had no chance.
Therefore, Liu Bei gradually lost his ambition.
In the past, Liu Bei would not give up even if there was a chance, but now, there is no chance at all.
Therefore, Liu Bei began to enjoy it.
Once a person loses his ambition, he is content with pleasure, it is a flaw.
Once Liu Bei was unwell and was ill for a few days.
Someone introduced him to Fushou Ointment, and when he first started contacting it, this thing really relieved the pain greatly.
From then on, Liu Bei was obsessed with this thing.
This thing not only made him enjoy it, but it also made him very interested in matters of men and women.
There are more than a dozen concubines in his harem, you know, Liu Bei was not good at it.
But he has no way out in Shuchuan, and there is no problem in enjoying it.
This caused him to be a little apart from his men.
Pang Tong persuaded him, Liu Bei listened to it, but failed to persist for a month, and became an addict again.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were okay. They had been training soldiers in the barracks. Although they had heard about Liu Bei, they understood that Liu Bei had suffered for a lifetime.
This Liu Bei also gave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Zhang Luo women, after all, they are married brothers and must share joys and sorrows.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also accepted women, but they would not be addicted to it.
On Liu Bei’s side, he gradually became addicted, but there was no problem with his internal affairs, because his team was still good, and a few veterans who followed him helped him manage well.
However, in the long run, problems will definitely arise.
This Liu Bei was addicted to the Fushou Ointment and the woman, and it was already difficult to extricate himself.
There were also rifts between the emperor and his ministers. Liu Bei was not in diligent politics, which made his followers very helpless.
Such as Pang Tong, he is very ambitious, but he wants to help Liu Bei rule the world, but now that Liu Bei is like this, there is no chance for them.
Originally there was no chance, but Pang Tong wanted to develop Shuchuan well. If this generation has no chance, then the next generation. In short, as long as they can continue to separate, then there is still a chance.
But Liu Bei couldn’t do it anymore, and Liu Bei actually started to enjoy it.
Originally, he enjoyed it by himself. It was no problem. He had been tired for most of his life, but now he settles down and enjoys a little.
The frightening thing is that many officials underneath have learned from Liu Bei.
Seeing that Liu Bei had no ambition, he knew that he would not be able to fight out in this life, and that he might live a life here comfortably, so many officials began to buy property and prepare their children and grandchildren to live here.
This will breed corruption, and will gradually show the luxury of extravagance.
At first, everyone wanted to fight, but now they can’t fight, so they started to enjoy it together.
This terrible sign shows up and will cause them a lot of trouble.
Pang Tong went to persuade Liu Bei several times, and Liu Bei quickly agreed, insisting on it for a few days each time, and quickly became addicted to it.
Several times of persuasion made Liu Bei annoy Pang Tong, and Pang Tong was also very dissatisfied with Liu Bei and publicly accused him several times.
At this time Liu Bei’s mentality has changed a lot.
He has proclaimed himself emperor, he is emperor
This Pang Tong is just a courtier, how can he not give face so much.
Most importantly, Liu Bei felt that he didn’t need Pang Tong much.
The reason is very simple. You can’t fight anymore. No matter how powerful you are, what use is there.
Pang Tong was good at tactics, but he was a bit poor in governance, so Liu Bei could not use Pang Tong at all.
However, Liu Bei did not open Pang Tong and still let him be in charge of government affairs.
However, there has been a rift between the monarch and his subjects, and I don’t know how long it will last.
They didn’t realize that a huge crisis was pervading Shuchuan.
A lot of wealth is lost.
Caravans enter and exit Shuchuan, and most of them only sell things in, and rarely sell things out.
This is the imbalance of trade and the loss of a lot of wealth.
Money is constantly being transported to Zhang Yu’s side, resulting in less and less money available for Shuchuan.
At the same time, Zhang Yu controlled the salt trade and blocked the salt, only a few of them were sent to the big merchants and families in Shuchuan.
If salt is not enough, the price is naturally high.
The result of high prices is that the people are getting poorer and poorer, they cannot afford it, and they have to buy it.
More and more money is concentrated in the hands of big businessmen.
And Zhang Yu took the opportunity to sell them all kinds of luxury goods. With these luxury goods, Zhang Yu earned the money of these big businessmen and big families.
This is Zhang Yu’s method of plundering wealth from Shuchuan.
In order not to lose the hearts and minds of the people in Shuchuan, Zhang Yu used the hands of these people to make it difficult to control.
The common people would not have thought that Zhang Yu was the black hand behind the scenes, and would only blame those big family and big businessmen, and thus Liu Bei.
Zhang Yu is very safe, no one knows that all of this has to do with him.
Although Pang Tong was smart, he didn’t notice these problems for a while.
Even if it was discovered, it was difficult to deal with it. He suggested to Liu Bei to completely prohibit these businessmen from contacting each other.
However, it won’t work for a long time. Not long after the ban, the big businessmen stopped doing it. They used various methods, even directly colluding with local officials, military generals, etc. to smuggle.
The consequences of smuggling will be more serious, military and political officials will gradually become corrupt, and even more out of control.
Of course, Pang Tong could also suggest that Liu Bei launch a slaughter and kill all those who violate the order.
But in that case, the entire Shuchuan will be turbulent, and if it is used, it will be messed up for a long time.
Pang Tong was smart ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but couldn’t find a way for a while.
He doesn’t have so many talents to use. These aristocratic families have talent resources, and most of the officials have some kind of connection with them.
Therefore, this decree simply cannot be implemented. Rather than breed corruption, it is better to let it go, and the government will charge more taxes to control it.
This made Pang Tong very depressed. He was originally a genius, but he was trapped in Shuchuan and couldn’t do anything.
He really couldn’t do it. Liu Bei was already like this, indulging in pleasure, and the family of Shuchuan also took the opportunity to grow bigger. He couldn’t handle this.
Liu Bei is the emperor, and the army is controlled by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. People in the court, such as Jian Yong, are also deeply trusted by Liu Bei. This Pang Tong can only watch and is unable to change the overall situation.
The officials in the DPRK are inextricably linked to the great families in Shuchuan. These families have already been raised, and I’m afraid they will be overwhelming.
