The lives of ordinary people are so fulfilling and perfect, almost reaching the appearance of a wealthy family in the Roman Empire. How can this be compared?

The towering city wall interprets what a powerful defense is. The armed forces on the city wall allow him to see what an infallible city is. In comparison, Constantinople is just like this.

His mission this time would bring back a large number of orders to the Frankian dynasty and would also promote the reform of Heinrich IV.

To be honest, Alex envied the ministers of the Song Dynasty in front of him. They had such a powerful and wise emperor. The concentration of imperial power also gave these officials considerable real power, which was the right given to them by the emperor.

But this was not the case in the Roman Empire. The power of the nobles completely surpassed the officials, which meant that the law could hardly be enforced in the upper class, and taxes......... would be fine!

Why do they so eagerly hope to obtain the monopoly of commodity in the Song Dynasty? In order to collect taxes from the nobles and the upper class!

How many ordinary people can afford the silk and porcelain of the Song Dynasty, let alone the crystal clear glass. These are all unimaginable things, and only nobles and wealthy merchants can buy them.

When the Frankian dynasty obtained some of the goods sold in the Song Dynasty, these things could only be bought and sold through the dynasty's financial officials, that is, they could obtain goods from the emperor's treasure house.

Once the monopoly power is obtained, the emperor can take the taxes into his hands. After all, it is easy to collect taxes from ordinary people, but it is difficult to collect taxes from nobles. With the goods from the Song Dynasty, it is a different matter.

Alex was in awe of Zhao Zhen because the Eastern monarch in front of him made him admire him and also scared him. After signing the military trade, Alex suddenly discovered that it was very likely that the Frankian dynasty was helping the Song Dynasty to make money.

The monopoly of goods was obtained, and the Dynasty also made money, but in the end it had to flow into the pockets of the Song Dynasty, because these weapons and equipment were not given for nothing, but were exchanged for real money and silver, and the price was quite high!

God can testify, this is simply plunder!

But Alex knew that he had to sign this trade agreement because the dynasty needed it and his emperor needed it, and he could not refuse this tempting agreement.

Even Alex knew that if the agreement was not signed, he would not be able to survive when he returned to the emperor.

Everything is for the imperial power, everything is for the emperor!

The emperor should be above everything else, rather than needing the crown of the Holy See. This is ultimately because it is not strong enough. If the Frankian dynasty could be as powerful as the Song Dynasty, he believed that any pope would kneel in front of the emperor and kiss his boots lightly!

Look at the Song Dynasty, look at the imperial power of the Song Dynasty, which is above everything else. There are no princes here that can compete with the imperial power, and there are even no princes. Their titles are just names and there are no powerful religious existences, because the emperor here is a god! He is the emperor!

Alex knew that his missionary behavior in the Song Dynasty would not be hindered because no one would obstruct him. He believed that he should have a very good foundation of faith. After all, Buddhism on this land was also very prosperous.

But now, people use faith more as a tool, a tool to calm their hearts rather than a way! There is a big difference between the two.

After leaving the palace, standing on the most prosperous streets of the Song Dynasty, surrounded by wide and tall buildings. Looking back at the magnificent palace complex and the symmetrical towers that are erected high.
