Power and Empire Chapter 3357: The dead line of tripping (7)

Under the morning sun, Taijing Dahaicheng is enough for people to come and go on the main road with twenty horse-drawn carriages side by side, and the bustling scene of busy traffic. Looking left and right, the densely stacked shops are called this Empire First Avenue adds a rich layer of shades, like a colorful picture scroll, melting everything inside with colorful colors

Located in the center of First Avenue is a large-scale commercial plaza with 1,500 shops, row upon row of luxuriously decorated shops, and gorgeous colorful flags illuminate this commercial center in a colorful light. The huge signboards hung in the height of the store, and the girls in colorful clothes standing in front of the store, showing the bright and bright atmosphere of spring. This is the most eye-catching commercial center of Teikyo, and the number of stores that can be owned here, from To a certain extent, it has been regarded as the status of the empire’s major chambers of commerce in the empire. During the empire’s annual meeting, it has entered a blowout period

The empire’s commodities have been sold for more than two months. The merchants of the entire empire are busy, and the merchants of the entire continent are revolving around the empire. The countries of the mainland gather in the name of paying attention to the empire’s annual meeting. In Daejing Dahaicheng, the envoys of these countries will naturally not come alone. That one is not followed by a large number of nobles from other countries. These nobles naturally come to the empire to sweep goods, and most of them are women. According to the statistics of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs In just the eight days of the Empire’s annual meeting, this commercial plaza, which represents the prosperous empire’s commerce, sold more than 4 million goods, of which 80% were sold by these special envoys and Nobles do it all

And this obviously hasn't reached its peak yet

Because the southern European area with the most purchasing power arrived yesterday, it’s too far to reach the Imperial Grand Sea City from southern Europe. Even the sea route will take nearly a month. In other words, yesterday Among the South European and Baro countries that arrived, such as Harvey, Icar, and Martin Liya, they almost had a battle with the empire in the Holy Capital. They didn’t even have time to wipe the wounds, and immediately put on gauze. This is the empire’s current influence on the Obaro region. Although the empire’s army has not yet completed the conquest of the south, the empire’s merchandise has already conquered the south in advance.

"The envoys brought by the Three Kingdoms envoys were only three to four hundred people, but they hired a combined fleet of 57 large merchant ships. They would never leave if they were not full. It can be seen that even The war could not stop these southern European and central landlocked countries’ desire for imperial goods.” The fat man put down the curtain of the carriage with a wry smile, and shrugged his shoulders to Princess Mingyue and Li Yuehua who were sitting opposite. “The road is blocked again, if If we still want to move on, then I’m afraid we can only walk on our feet. If we look at the situation outside, we’ll know that even if it’s the imperial emperor’s carriage, if we don’t let the guards open the way, I’m afraid we can’t be in such a crowded crowd. Passing by"

" It’s an honor to be invited by your Majesty. The most lingering thing for the Imperial City is the Imperial Commercial Plaza in front of you, which makes people never feel enough to visit. Just passing by, I am afraid it will be difficult. Let your Majesty appreciate the beauty of this place..."Li Yuehua's charming face showed a look of hesitation and cessation

"I can bear no more than 300,000 per person. No matter how much, I will have no money. I can figure it out by myself!" The fat man said with an angry and funny mouth

Of course he knew what Li Yuehua wanted to do. He thought that because of the embarrassment of the Li family, Li Yuehua himself was transferred back to the Imperial Capital to assist the intelligence department for more than half a year. Li Yuehua almost plunged into this commercial plaza. The square is the focal point of the most concentrated area of ​​various information. Just look at the products here, which is equivalent to a glance at the information from all parts of the empire. It blatantly used more than 300,000 empire’s intelligence department funds to buy and buy, and finally was bought by the empire. A report from the Ministry of Intelligence was sent to Fatty. Fatty also laughed at the matter and did not pursue it. He just asked the Imperial Intelligence Ministry to reduce the 300,000 adjustment quota originally given to Li Yuehua to 150,000, which was an anxious body. A woman in a foreign land, don't let her find a way to vent, and she won't be succumbed to madness!

"Your Majesty is serious?"

Li Yuehua’s bright eyes were crescent moons happy, almost before the emperor finished speaking, her arms had already rolled up the hem of the white-gold palace dress, with an expression of eagerness, even though she knew she was touching Because of the light of Princess Mingyue, because the emperor did not agree with Princess Mingyue’s request, it was considered a kind of compensation in disguise, but the chance of being able to slay the emperor ruthlessly once was rare. She almost directly pulled down the princess next to Mingyue. With the carriage, she can be said to be familiar with the road in a light car. After getting off the car, she went directly into a beautifully decorated shop next to the road.

"Your Majesty has such a big hand, it is just six hundred thousand at will"

Princess Mingyue muttered to herself, watching Li Yuehua's figure disappear at the door of the shop, her mouth showed a touch of coldness, her fingers squeezed tightly at the skirt belt, and she could feel the car outside with her favorite man. Prosperity is naturally a very pleasant mood, but for myself, this is a kind of luxury

"Does your majesty know that if you directly hand over the 600,000 imperial gold to me, I can at least prevent the 300,000 refugees from China and Biya from being frozen and starving to death!" Princess Mingyue looked next to her. The fat man took a deep breath. "To be honest, the prosperous scene here reminds me of the original Zhongbian Imperial Palace, but the gap is also so obvious. It is a big city with a million people, but What Baili Long Court brings to people is a luxury that has been flat for too long. The place along the street is not a tavern and tea house, or a place with blue and red leaning on the green. The real business chamber only accounts for one or two points. Here, all are real businessmen"

Princess Mingyue paused and looked at the fat man. "Although I don't know how much business tax the empire receives from merchants every year, the super-large square that was enough to accommodate 200,000 people in the past is still congested and it’s okay for carriages to travel. Knowing that this must be a number that I can’t imagine. With these business people with the imperial force of the empire, the empire has the financial power to contempt the world, and the person who perfectly combines the power of the merchant with the empire is you. So I believe that if someone can save China and Bahia, that person must be you too!"

A touch of unnaturalness flashed across Fatty’s face, but seeing Princess Mingyue’s sad eyes, Fatty still couldn’t help but be moved.

"It is said that as far as I know, businessmen are regarded as a lowly industry in Central and Bahia. There is even a saying in the Central and Bianya proverb that there is no profiteer but no business, which almost completely nails the profession of businessmen to the pillar of shame. In China, as long as a businessman is a profiteer, even court officials clearly stipulate that they are not required to be a businessman within three generations. This is the perception of merchants in China and Biyadh. Therefore, the profession of profiteer will never be able to make it to the table in the end. In the empire, merchants are just like an aristocratic class of the empire. Merchants in the empire can hold their heads up anywhere. The empire supports the development of merchants and also gives them room for development. The merchants promote the continuous reform and development of the empire. Another powerful driving force for expansion,

"But you know, it's impossible!"

The fat man's voice paused, a pair of tiger eyes shot fierce divine light, and Yuanting stood proudly and calmly said. "Zhong Biya has been heavy agricultural and light merchants for thousands of years, even if the wealthy and wealthy merchants are contaminated The upper body is full of copper stinks, and any scholar can bleed your curse at will. As long as there is a shortage of money in the hall, the first thing that comes to mind is to crack down on merchants to fill the treasury! Over time, merchants can buy more money when they become rich. There are many fields, and the money will not be used to support the development of the country. Two completely different treatment policies have created two different imperial destinies. If the Chinese and Biya empire were able to treat businessmen as fair as the Falcon Empire. , Or the situation in China and Bahrain will not be like this now"

Of course, the fat man knows that this is basically a fallacy. China has been focusing on agriculture and light business for thousands of years. How can it be possible to give businessmen a reasonable position? The reason for saying this is to divert the attention of Princess Mingyue. I am still a little bit sorry for the princess of China and Biya,

He not only knew about the situation in Central and Bialand, but even in the winter of last year, he suddenly left Central Bialand and returned to Obaro, part of which was to avoid Princess Mingyue, because the fat man had already foreseen that last winter would For Biya, it will definitely be a catastrophe, so the next round will be arranged in advance,

The Zhongbian court has been besieged by the Aden army, and it is unable to take care of the refugees everywhere. The Southern Song people closed the road to the south early and dispatched the mountain army to drive the refugees who had settled down to the north again. As a result, those areas originally belonged to the court were forced to bow to the Song people. The Southwest Longjia only accepted the young and strong from the refugees in accordance with the usual practice, and did not accept the old and weak women and children.

The result is that the various forces, for their own interests, under the open and secret competition, the most miserable nature is the refugees from China and Biya

In the cold winter that just passed, because of the war, especially the expansion war of the Aden people, it was a disaster for the Zhongbian court control area. The Zhongbian court was completely caught in war. In order to reduce the pressure on the transportation line, Aden The army launched a brutal and all-round levy of food in the Xinjing area, which eventually led to countless people from China and Biyadh who died of starvation and freezing every day. It also caused a larger wave of refugees to collapse in the cold wind and snow, and a large number of people were rolling south. The crowd collided with the northward crowd driven by the Southern Song people. It was really a mess. Almost every city was filled with refugees. The refugees, like locusts, ate up all the food in one place, if it weren’t true. Because there is no food everywhere, I am afraid that there will be a large-scale refugee riot. It is conservatively estimated that in the last winter alone, the number of people in Central and Biyah who died of freezing and starvation reached more than five million. Phenomenon such as eating dead people is almost everywhere, and this miserable situation is still spreading.

This is like an endless loop like a whirlpool. The refugees eat up the food in the area, and the area where the food is eaten up becomes the new source of the refugees. It is like a snowball that is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a raging refugee wave for millions of people. , This kind of catastrophe that can become a catastrophe at any time, who dares to pick it up! If the Southwestern Longjia opens the switch to accept the refugees, the Longjia will be eaten up within a month. If the southern Song people accept the refugees, the southern mountain people will directly overthrow the Song rule, even the important town of Dijing West Road. Li Yuehua, who was sympathetic to the refugees in China and Biya, also ordered the closure of the west of Dijing Road to the south. The empire’s 100,000 iron armors waited for it, and the entire line of the river was blocked

Anyone can see it, but no one dares to pick it up. This is what happened last winter. According to Li Yuehua’s report, there was still someone who jumped out last winter. That’s Princess Mingyue. This woman went there at risk. Once at the Southwest Long Family, the Long Family sent someone to assassinate her. Three days later, Princess Mingyue looked at the refugee camp for hundreds of miles outside the Southwest Pass, leaving with a sad expression on her face. Then Princess Mingyue went again. In the southern Song people, a princess of the princess of Zhongbia entered the southern mountains, and she still wanted the Song people to do harm to the refugees, and immediately caused the entire southern mountains to be blown up. Before the Song people, there were already dangerous situations along the way, and some people had issued deaths. Intimidation, someone has shot a dark arrow, and even someone intercepts it in the lead

Finally, with the signboard of the empire, Princess Mingyue arrived at the bottom of the Song mountain city, but the result was that Song Que, the patriarch of the Song family, didn’t even see him, and turned away for fifteen days.

As a last resort~IndoMTL.com~ Princess Mingyue could only break her vow and went to the Zhongbia court, and what she got was only a promise to save people from difficulties. If this were not the case, Princess Mingyue would not come in person. Even though he knew he would be scolded by others, Emperor Jing brazenly asked the empire to send troops

It’s ashamed to say it, and it’s also a place where Fatty feels guilty secretly. A group of troubled lords are pretending to turn a blind eye to the tragedy, but they are carried by a woman alone, so even though Fatty’s heart is angry that Princess Mingyue renounced her previous oath, she did not The Zhongbian court completely drew a clear line, but decided to see Princess Mingyue. Since all the forces in China and Bahia are so cruel and ruthless, why should the empire carry the whole pot! There are millions of refugees, and there are signs of change and riots at any time. Even the empire can't take it. The only thing that can be done now is to wait for the millions of refugees to settle down by themselves.

In fact, those who hold this kind of thinking are more than empires

The Southwest Dragon’s family bought a large amount of grain from the Southern Obaro region last winter at a high price. What did it do? The Southern Song people also placed a huge order of food from the imperial merchants, just to feed the mountain people. They don’t need so much food. Obviously, everyone is waiting for the Central and Bian court to be in Aden. The moment Wan Dajun collapsed, the moment when millions of refugees were unable to struggle because they were hungry, and eventually changed from millions to one million, to hundreds of thousands

At that time, the Southwest Dragon family would be strong and powerful, and then go out of Guanglinchuan, and use the grain in their hands to make the localities obey the management of the Long family. The Southern Song people will also break the previous vow of never going out, and the food in their hands will be the best. All the fertile river areas are included, and then the Southern Mountain Army will be driven to fight for the orthodoxy of the royal authority.

But the fat man would definitely not say anything about it, because the empire behind it is the empire! The empire is also waiting! Waiting for the moment of closing!
