The capital of the Great Song Dynasty was the center of the world, with countless merchants coming and going here, countless goods coming and going here, and it was the international city of this era.

Western countries called the gods of the Song Dynasty the city of gold, because the goods they needed were almost equivalent to gold, and all of these goods came from the capital of God. Therefore, in the eyes of Westerners, the capital of God is full of gold.

Blonde and blue-eyed merchants from the West often appear in Shendu City, and they often sigh at the magnificence of the city and the amazing wealth.

Blonde and blue-eyed women are popular in the West, but they are not surprising in the Song Dynasty. After all, the people of the Song Dynasty have seen them for a long time. Among the concubines of the official family, there is a blond and blue-eyed beauty who often distributes rewards and palace flowers with the queen during festivals.

A caravan from Abbas appeared at Nanxun Gate, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. This retained the old name of the Tokyo City Gate. The city gate was built in the model of Nanxun Gate, except for the size of the Nanxun Gate.

The tall city gates, deep gate holes, and the imperial guards wearing hard and sharp edges all make people be careful and honest. This is the outer gate of Shendu City. Only by passing through this is the outer city that enters Shendu City, and there is still ** after that.

The leader of the Abbas caravan showed a flattering smile from a distance and actively stepped forward to the city guarding officials, "Master, we are the caravans of Seer who live in the dynasty. This is the customs clearance document. We have walked all the way from Henglus City and have never escaped a city. We remember the itinerary clearly on it and dare not miss it."

The leader of the imperial guard guarding the gate is called "Mentou". This is why merchants who often travel to and from Shendu City call this. Especially foreign merchants, they can call this name, obviously they are "cooks" from Shendu City.

He glanced at the man at the door. He had been serving at the city gate for many years and only needed to look up and know who he was from where he was from. Some things could not be pretended.

Knowing that he was from Sail, he looked at the official seal on the document. He started from Hengluosi City and went east. There were also many official seals on a city on the road. He recorded the business route of the caravan in detail. Liu Sanhu knew that there were no false statements in his words.

Turning the document to the last page, looking at the product list they filled in, I saw that the word spices were listed. Liu Sanhu frowned immediately. After the spices from the outside court entered the Song Dynasty, they had to pay the central tax. But just as he frowned, a cloth bag was cleverly stuffed into his hands by the Sail merchant...

"Take it on!"

Liu Sanhu knew why the city above this document never collected his spice tax but recorded the following tax.

This is not a rare thing in the Song Dynasty. After all, spices were in short supply in the Song Dynasty. In addition, the tax rate of the imperial court was already very high, and the tax on spices was not much different from the central tax. To do it too much is just a few big money, and it is difficult to distinguish based on the material.

After weighing it with his hands, Liu Sanhu nodded and waved his hand, "Go over, get the tax sign and enter the city again. If the person from the Tax Management Department finds out, you and I can't afford to take care of it!"

The merchant kept nodding, his high nose bridge was like an eagle's beak: "I dare not! We have known the interests of businessmen for many years!"

After Liu Sanhu made his mark, he quickly took the document to the table behind, and once again prepared it according to law, and obtained the tax licence of the clerk.

As long as you pass the Nanxun Gate, it will be basically safe. After the caravan gets the tax license, the imperial guards check the goods and then enter the city. After that, they can sell goods at designated locations in the city. The Tax Management Department sends people to collect commercial taxes at the tax rate on the tax license.

Originally, everything would not have any problems, but during the inspection, the Imperial Guard found that something was wrong with the caravan.

Especially the servants who followed the Seljuks, the humble and unmannered eyes revealed arrogance.

Who is Liu Sanhu? A veteran who has been to Hengluosi battlefield, otherwise he would not have been on duty at the Nanxun Gate, which has the largest number of merchants in the Western Regions.

I felt something even more wrong when I got closer to these servants. The smell of mutton and spices almost made him feel angry.

His right hand quickly raised his fist, clamored... It was originally just a small move, but the imperial guards around him reacted rapidly and surrounded him.

For a moment, the shield surrounded him, and the sword was unsheathed, and the murderous intent suddenly appeared, causing the pedestrian merchants around to dodge quickly, staring at Liu Sanhu and the imperial guards who were attacking at any time.

Everyone knew that the Song Dynasty regarded the imperial guards as the elite, and the imperial guards regarded the Shendu as the elite. Although these people were not as strict as the above four armies, in fact, the imperial guards of the four gates of the Shendu were all stronger than those of Beiwei, most of them came from the Bai army.

He had a clever mind and had a very quick reaction. If he had not chosen a leisurely job after retiring from the White Army, he would have already been in Peking Prefecture as a captain.

"Zhisi Niao, Yuan Dao, you are an honest merchant, but you didn't expect it to be a thief. Even the Indians dare to bring it to you. Don't you think it was because of the courage of the bear heart and the leopard?"

The Seljuk merchant's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that Liu Sanhu would shout out in public, and in this way, there was no room for reversal.

Facing the imperial guards who were eyeing the covetous and vigilant, the merchant of Sailju quickly ordered people to surrender, and at the same time showed a helpless expression.

"I wanted to make more money, but who would have done it backfired. These Indians gave me a bag of gold and begged me to bring them to me. Now that they missed it, they were not lucky. I hope that Liu Mentou would beg me to be a businessman in Sail."

Liu Sanhu's eyes turned and he said with a lip voice: "This is not what I, Liu Sanhu, say. Leave this to the master of Peking Mansion to say it."

The Sail businessman looked a little ugly, but nothing was wrong. After all, he was a Sail businessman and had a clearance certificate. He paid no less taxes along the way, and even the penalty would not be too heavy.

However, the faces of those Indians who were tied up by many flowers were even more ugly. The Song Dynasty forbidden the exchanges between India and all trade was stopped, let alone the capital of the Song Dynasty?

The relationship between the Song Dynasty and Tianzhu was very tense. After all, the complaint made the people of the Song Dynasty, especially the Shendu, hate the people of the Tianzhu.

In addition, the news of refugees from Yunnan Road was spread to Shendu, and the Baixins had already disliked the Indians. Various newspapers in the Song Dynasty had made the caste system and their living habits public.

For a time, the favorable impression of the most popular people in the Song Dynasty was reduced to the minimum. Cutting off trade was a severe punishment for Tianzhu. But who would go to Tianzhu first and collude with the Seljuks and dare to sneak into Shendu? What is this asking for death?
