Economic Stimulation

What cannot be regulated by the empire is doomed to fall into the hands of those much less concerned with the welfare of its citizens.

Whilst the urban administrators of the Han are often accused of facilitating needlessly lavish lifestyles, the private merchants who have seized control of key industries as the government decentralises are equally to blame.

By gouging prices on grain and other crucial supplies, they drive their own personal profit at the expense of the entire empire.
