If Cai Boqi could see Liu Yong, he would definitely bring bitterness to him. What Zhao Zhen said was actually to take the lead and meet with the secret envoy of Seljuk Emperor Tugluk in the desert.

What kind of alliances and any covenant are actually prepared in advance. The two sides must reach a consensus, otherwise it is impossible to form an alliance in Amu City.

Once the talks collapse, what's the use of even the emperors of the two countries arrive at Amu City? In fact, no one wants to compromise, Zhao Zhen doesn't want it, and Tugluk doesn't want it.

As Zhao Zhen's envoy, Cai Boqi had already arrived at Tiemen Pass first. He was extremely secretive when he left the prison this time. This was a secret exchange of interests. No one could know except the emperor and the envoy between the two sides.

Cai Boqi went to Amu City in the name of a caravan. Tiemen Pass was the first pass in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, and it was also the last pass in the 800-mile vast sea.

All merchants in the Song Dynasty knew that if they wanted to enter the vast sea, they had to have enough supplements. If they could not reach Amu City, they would not be able to walk out of this desert no matter how expensive the goods they were.

Cai Boyi was hiding in the caravans of the Song Dynasty. This time he secretly went to Amu City, using only one caravan as a cover, and no one was brought with him, and the defenders at Tiemen Pass did not know his arrival.

It is absolutely safe inside Tiemen Pass, because the regulations on Tiemen Pass are very clear, that is, no violations of laws and regulations are allowed, and the defenders of Tiemen Pass are also the most common areas on the border.

Whether it is the merchants of the Song Dynasty or the merchants from other dynasties, once they arrive at Tiemen Pass, they must report to the local government after entering the city. Where did they come from, what kind of goods should they bring, and where should they go?

Of course, you can also choose not to report to the Tiemenguan yamen, but once the caravan that has not been reported is found, it is not as simple as punishment. All goods are found, and the caravans from the Tiemenguan are expelled from the Tiemenguan. The merchants in the Song Dynasty are handed over to the local government office to convict and punish.

The means of punishment are very simple and there is no fine. After all, the caravan's goods have been seized and there is no need for economic punishment, but a punishment is indispensable.

When Cai Boqi took the caravan to the Tiemenguan Office to ascend the throne, he saw a bearded businessman in the outward dynasty tied to a wooden stake, with whip marks coming from behind him.

Fortunately, the soft whip is used. If the whip is used with the steel wire, the skin will definitely be broken.

But even so, the soft whip was still covered with blood marks on his back, and the wailing sound of merchants echoed around, making the onlookers' backs ached faintly.

This is the reason why the merchants wailed not only because they were whipped behind their backs, but also because they had to watch their goods being pulled away by trucks.

Such pain is heart-wrenching, which is equivalent to his slap in vain. The hardships along the way disappear with the dust in the northwest.

If the merchant comes from the loan, he will lose all his money. Not only will the goods be lost, but the land deeds, house deeds, and land deeds mortgaged to the money house at home may be collected by the money house.

Cai Boqi has seen such people for too many times and always thought he could escape by chance. Don’t he know that there are so many sergeants at the Iron Gate Pass. Sansi even hired local people here. They don’t have to do anything else, but they can get a lot of rewards just by reporting and exposing them.

It is almost impossible to apply for tax evasion from the Song Dynasty. As long as you do not report to the local government office of Tiemenguan, it is equivalent to smuggling.

The Taxation Department’s yamen is almost the most important yamen in Tiemen Pass. This saying is circulating among the local people: the convoy that robs the money house gets rich overnight, and the convoy that robs the Taxation Department has no worries about the three generations!

But after so many years, no one dared to take the tax department. In order to eradicate the robbers and rebels on Xinjiang Road, almost every city was full of thieves and prisoners.

Even though Cai Boqi was responsible for the emperor's order, he still reported to the Taxation Department for registration immediately after he arrived at Tiemen Pass. Even if he could not violate the regulations here, he could not violate the regulations.

At Tiemen Pass, registration and filing are iron laws, and no one can violate it. This is why there are very few smuggling here for so many years.

Tiemen Pass is the westernmost pass in the Song Dynasty. If you want to bypass this place, you have to walk hundreds of miles of unmanned land. In addition, there is no one who can successfully pass the vast sea.

He Kan started from Tiemen Pass, and the Song Dynasty's cavalry wandered around, and the farthest had reached the border of the Amu River.

As for going around from the north, it is even more impossible. There are two cities in the Song Dynasty in the north. The black sand and Puhualuo are the land of Huatshuzimo to the north, and it is also the territory occupied by the Song Dynasty.

After Cai Boqi's caravan registered, a group of tax officials began to check, and the things were exactly the same as described, but when they found Cai Boqi's carriage, they were a little puzzled.

This car used a car made by the official Song Dynasty. The undercarriage is as thick as axle, and the rubber on the wheels is also extremely thick, and there is a layer of iron on the outside.

Needless to say, the owner of the carriage must be the powerful in the court. The inspectors naturally refused to offend them, but the inspection had to continue, and finally a bad luck was introduced by drawing lots.

Zhang Defa looked at the short sign in his hand with a little depressed depression, and could only sigh in secret about his bad luck, took out the waist sign of the tax department and whispered: "This noble man has invited me, please Rong Xiao's car to check it out."

An ivory waist sign was thrown out with a calm sound: "I can guarantee that there are no prohibited items in the car. If you have any problems, you can go to Sansi to find someone!"

Zhang Defa reached out to catch the waist card and looked at it, then immediately apologized: "I don't know if it's the noble man from Sansi is here, so please forgive me for offending me."

Cai Boqi's caravan slowly left, Zhang Defa trembled and returned, and a group of colleagues surrounded him: "Lao Zhang, who is in the car? Is there any ban?"

Zhang Defa shivered: "I didn't dare to get in the car, but I had a waist sign and had already been printed. I will know if I will report it back later."

These minor officials will inevitably encounter some people with official identities. In Tiemenguan, all kinds of waist signs and handwritten warrants will appear, so the tax department has already had a printing system.

You can tell if the content of the waist card is just a little comparison, but there is generally no mistake. You should know that not using waist card handwriting is more dangerous than smuggling, and it is a matter of losing your head.

If you can't say it, you will confiscate your family and destroy your clan. This is a big disaster. No one dares to imitate it easily, and of course you can't see these rare things.

A group of people stopped talking after seeing the Qilin pattern on the rubbing. Judging from the clarity of the rubbing, this thing must be true.
