Shuchuan, Liu Bei has already been called the emperor, after a year or two of hard work, the development of Shuchuan is still very good.

There was no war here, Liu Bei worked hard at the beginning, and the army grew to 300,000.

And he has Pang Tong's help, and he is very good in all aspects.

However, when Zhang Yu defeated Sun Ce, Cai Mao one after another, and then destroyed Cao Cao, he immediately understood that it was impossible for him to fight in his life.

There is no chance, unless Zhang Yu suddenly dies.

Zhang Yu had an accident in time, 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 little opportunity, but now, there is no chance at all.

So, Liu Bei began to enjoy it.

Once people have no ambition and are content with pleasure, they are all flaws.

Once Liu Bei was unwell and was sick for a few days.

Someone introduced him to Fushou cream, and when he started to contact it, this thing really greatly relieved the pain.

Since then, this Liu Bei has been obsessed with this thing.

Not only did he enjoy it very much, but he also had a great interest in men and women.

There are more than a dozen concubines in his harem, you know, Liu Bei is not good at this.

But he has no way out in Shuchuan, and there is no problem with being happy to enjoy it.

This caused him to become somewhat alienated from his men.

Pang Tong persuaded him, and Liu Bei listened to it, but he couldn't last a month and became an addict again.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are okay, they have been training in the barracks, although they have heard of Liu Bei, they all understand that Liu Bei has suffered all his life.

This Liu Bei also gave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Zhang Luo women, after all, they are righteous brothers, and they must share weal and woe.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also accepted women, but the two would not indulge in them.

Liu Bei's side gradually became addicted, but there were no problems in internal affairs, because his team was still good, and several old ministers, following him, helped him govern well.

However, in the long run, there are bound to be problems.

This Liu Bei is addicted to Fushou ointment and women, and he can't extricate himself.

There is also a rift between the monarch and the minister, and Liu Bei is not diligent in government, which makes the people who follow him very helpless.

Like Pang Tong, he is very ambitious, but he wants to help Liu Bei dominate the world, but now that Liu Bei is like this, where do they still have a chance.

There is no chance, but Pang Tong wants to develop Shuchuan well, this generation has no chance, then the next generation, in short, as long as it can continue to be divided, then there is still a chance.

But Liu Bei couldn't do it, Liu Bei actually began to enjoy it.

Originally, he enjoyed it alone, no problem at all, he had worked hard for most of his life, and now that he has settled down, what will happen if he enjoys a little.

The terrible thing is that many officials under the bottom also learned from Liu Bei.

Seeing that Liu Bei had no ambition, he knew that it was impossible to fight in this life, and he might live here comfortably for a lifetime, so many officials began to buy family property and prepare their children and grandchildren to live here.

This breeds corruption and allows extravagance to emerge.

Originally, everyone was bent on playing, but now they can't play, so they start enjoying it together.

This terrible sign is revealed, and it will cause them a lot of trouble.

Pang Tong went to persuade Liu Bei several times, but Liu Bei quickly agreed, and each time he insisted on it for a few days, and soon became addicted to it.

persuaded each other several times, which 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 been called an emperor, an emperor.

No matter what Pang Tong says, he is just a courtier, how can he be so faceless.

The most important thing is that Liu Bei feels that he doesn't need Pang Tong much anymore.

The reason is very simple, you can't fight it, no matter how powerful your Pang Count strategy is, what's the use.

Pang Tong is good at scheming, but the governance of the place is a little worse, so Liu Bei can completely do without Pang Tong.

However, Liu Bei did not open Pang Tong, and still put him in charge of government affairs.

However, there is already discord between the monarch and the minister, and I don't know how long it will last.

What they didn't realize was that there was a huge crisis in Shuchuan.

A lot of wealth is lost.

The caravans went in and out of Shuchuan, and most of them only sold things in, and rarely sold things out.

This is the imbalance in trade, the loss of a lot of wealth.

The money continued to be transported to Zhang Yu's side, resulting in less and less money that Shuchuan could use.

At the same time, Zhang Yu controlled the salt trade, blocked the salt, and only a few of the big merchants and great families of Shuchuan were transported.

If there is not enough salt, the price will naturally be high.

As a result of the high prices, the people are getting poorer and poorer, and they can't afford it, so they have to buy it.

More and more money was concentrated in the hands of the big businessmen.

And Zhang Yu took the opportunity to peddle all kinds of luxury goods to them, and with these luxury goods, Zhang Yu made money from these big businessmen and big families.

This is Zhang Yu's means of plundering wealth from Shuchuan.

In order not to lose the hearts of the people in Shuchuan, Zhang Yu made it difficult to control the back, so he borrowed the hands of these people.

The people would not have thought that Zhang Yu was the mastermind behind the scenes, and would only blame those big businessmen of the big families, and thus Liu Bei.

Zhang Yu is very safe, and no one knows that it all has anything to do with him.

Although Pang Tong was smart, he didn't find these problems for a while.

Even if he found out, it would be difficult to deal with it, but he suggested that Liu Bei completely ban these businessmen from coming and going.

However, it didn't work long after it was implemented, and not long after the ban, those big families and big businessmen stopped doing it, and they used various methods, and even directly colluded with local officials, military generals, etc., to carry out smuggling.

The consequences of smuggling will be even more serious, and military and political officials will gradually become corrupt, and when the time comes, it will become even more out of control.

Of course, Pang Tong could also advise Liu Bei to kill everyone who violated the order.

But in that case, the entire Shuchuan will be in turmoil, and if it is used, it will be chaotic for a while.

Pang Tong was smart, but he couldn't find a way for a while.

He doesn't have so many talents to use, these families are in control of human resources, and most of all the officials have some kind of connection with them.

Therefore, this decree is simply impossible to enforce, and instead of breeding corruption, it is better to let it go, and the government will collect more taxes and 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 can't do anything, Liu Bei is already like this, indulging in pleasure, and the family in Shuchuan has also taken the opportunity to become bigger, he has no way to deal with this.

Liu Bei is the emperor, and the army is controlled by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and people such as Jian Yong and others in the court are also deeply trusted by Liu Bei.

The officials in the court are inextricably linked with the big families in Shuchuan, and these families have been raised, and I am afraid that they will not be able to lose their tails.
