The Golden Triad Strategy!
In the Xiuwen Pavilion, when Zhao Douan proposed this complete set of strategies that intertwined and influenced each other,
the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and in the minds of the scholars, it was nothing short of an awakening.

We need not mention the first two strategies, but the construction of a "market" wouldn't require much investment, not a lot of money, just one official document.
Furthermore, some suddenly remembered that when Zhao Douan previously discussed the "spread of farmland taxes," he had mentioned not increasing taxes for merchants.
