To the Almighty Emperor of China:

I write to you as an imperial adviser in order to suggest to you to maintain the policies of commercial isolation that you have been carrying out against neighboring kingdoms.

As a first argument, I must tell you that we are in the middle of a political crisis, and it wouldn't be strange if it leads to a war. For this reason, nothing more accurate than isolate the economies of the potential enemies of the Empire.

In addition, the destination of goods for sale abroad has conditioned the supply within the country. We must take care of our people, offering more quantity of goods at a lower price, as established by the law of supply and demand.

Finally, I must emphasize that our economy is much more developed than that of neighboring kingdoms, so our commercial policy is not much more than an act of charity and solidarity. But at these times of crisis and tension, the only possible solidarity is respect to our people and our Empire.

For these reasons I consider maintaining and deepening the isolation policies will be the best option.

Long live to our Emperor.
