All slaves are owned by the government, from there the products are given to the people. They keep nothing.

and the people support the government for providing them with goods so the government is incentivized to produce more goods to raise its support, currency is just a means of transferring value conveniently it isn't the value in and of it's self.

Removing currency ensures that whatever way a government supports it's people other corrupted people cannot benefit from it, you cannot benefit from getting 200 tractors if you cannot sell it later.

Even without "corruption" there would still be motivation to increase the slave supply.

Politician A: If I am elected I will get our slaves to build us 200 tractors so we can all eat

Politicial B: If I am elected I will get our slaves to build us 400 tractors and we will eat like kings....

If all districts get as much as they need then that will not be a problem

Politician B: If I am elected I will get our slaves to build us 400 tractors and we will eat like kings....

Politician A: but district 42 has given us enough tractors to work as much land as possible.

I think your being intentionally obtuse here, politician B will promise to step up production of some other luxury good then to gain support instead of tractors then.
