"The Great Protector, you should know that in addition to a very small number of countries in the Hezhong can maintain the royal bloodline that was continued from the former Han Dynasty. Most of them were sent to various countries during the Western Turkic rule. The Tutun was replaced, while the Huoxun Kingdom was one of the few people who maintained the royal bloodline of the Sogdians. However, according to the previous tradition, they also claimed to be the king and Jie Lifa, even if the great cannibals came."

"Turando successfully became the messenger and saint of Miaoshui. His status is actually comparable to Hawthorne, but Hawthorne wants to go further. It is said, ahem, it is said that under the instigation of Turando, Hawthorne moved away from Yulong Jiechi and moved the palace to the former Governor's Mansion, which was the city of Nukus, which is separated from Yulong Jiechi."

"That's not all. He also divorced his original wife in the name of infidelity. He was originally the one of Princess Anguo, and cruelly killed the princess's children. He was waiting for Turando to agree to marry him. The Great Protector, according to the doctrine of the Zoroastrianism, the Miaoshui messenger can get married, but after marriage, he only has one month to spend with his husband every year. The rest of the time must be in Zoroastrian Temple, just like Geshuminu and Jinsikaiya."

"So, Tengjis led a 25,000 army to station in Yulongjiechi. In the past, in Yulongjiechi, Hawthorne and his Avrig family had huge industries and slaves. Tengjis selected women from them to match his soldiers, and the captured women and children of Ugus, based on these people, and accepted some industries south of the Wuhu River. It seems that he lived in the Huoxun Kingdom in a noble way."

Sun Xiurong asked, "Then he doesn't want the tribes in the Sarideg River basin on the north shore of the Caspian Sea?"

"Major Protector, he doesn't want it. When Tengis led his army into the north of the Aral Sea, Brans of the Khanate of the Khanate had already sent troops to occupy it. Even if he wanted to go back, he could not go back. Besides, he took away the elite troops from the Dubo Department, so he probably didn't feel sorry for him."

Sun Xiurong nodded and said, "This is the best. You said it easily. How can these 25,000 people lose their parents, their wives and children? But because of this, they cannot live without us. If they move the entire Dubian Department here, plus the wealth of Huoxun Kingdom, I am afraid that even I will not take it seriously."

After thinking, "You should go back quickly and take Axi to camp, and let them occupy the land near the Caspian Sea on the east bank of the Sazedge River, and let the newly established Ugus camp move their herders there under the leadership of Suni. According to Suni, in the northeast of the Caspian Sea, there is a big river called Zhemu River, which was originally a pasture of the Kimak tribe. When Tengis led his army south, they avoided the upper reaches of the Sazedge River."

"A little more than a hundred miles upstream of the estuary, there is a small town built by the Kimaks, called Culissare, who sected the camps of Assy, and the Ugus camp occupied there, and the Bessegan camp occupied north of the Aral Sea."

"Why is this?"

"You think, if Brans knew that Tengjis had occupied Hualazimo, how could he not be worried? He would definitely continue to advance eastward. If he did not occupy the Hedong area before he advanced to the Sazedeg River, the trouble for the Ye Army would be great in the future."

"yes"

......

Ten days after Su Xijie left, a caravan came from Huoxun Kingdom. The leader of the caravan was Abraham, the Jewish merchant who was calmly wandering in the Tang Dynasty, the Shattered Ye Army, the Dashi, and the Khanate of Xhosa.

Abraham was about forty years old and proficient in Turkic, Sogdian, and Tang. He was not angry when he saw the Thunder Ye Army occupying the Kizil Port - he also had a store in Kizil Port.

Abraham was almost the farthest Jewish merchant in the world. He went to the Pinlu Jiedu Mansion under Anlushan to the east, and to the west, to the Poitiers of the Frank Kingdom (the frontline of the Franks dealing with the Arabs at this time).

After walking so far, he finally set his headquarters in Samandar (Makhachkara), the capital of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Caspian Sea on the western coast of the Caspian Sea. In addition to the increasingly obvious signs of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the West, it was also because it was the middle between the East and the West, and goods from China were continuously transported to Europe, West Asia, and North Africa.

Over the years, he has also come to a conclusion.

"For merchants, the Tang Dynasty nominally collected the least, but the passes were the most. Apart from the business tax, the pass officials and the soldiers guarding the city asked for the most. If you are not a great priest, the great priest collects the most commercial tax, and Europe is the most chaotic. Generally speaking, merchants dare not cross the mainland and go to western Europe."

"With goods, most of them go to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean line, and just send the goods to the coast. As for where the goods eventually flow, others will bear it."

"As for the Khanate of Xhosa, they attached the most importance to the country, but the country did not have a complete system for managing merchants and collecting commercial taxes. The regulations were constantly changing. Some were similar to the countries in the past, which collected certain commercial taxes in normal times. In wartime, they would have to pay a lot of money to meet important birthdays or important religious festivals of princes and nobles."

"The Roman Empire had complete regulations, but they only existed in Constantinople. The vast other places performed their own rules, of course, and they also had their own rules, but they were different, which was a headache."

"Only within the territory of the Sailing Ye Army, there are unified regulations, and the determined tax types and tax amounts are considered. It seems that they are also very proficient in business, always pay attention to the main goods prices, and have compiled guiding prices, and used guiding prices to collect commercial taxes."

"For goods that have been clearly shipped to, if they have been registered in the first castle, they will not unbox and inspect the second castle, nor will they pay commercial tax again. After entering the territory of the Sailing Ye Army, they only need to pay commercial tax once."

"However, they have prepared a lot of supporting facilities for merchants to make money to consume as much as possible, as well as specialties near castles. If you sell the goods somewhere and buy local goods, you can also enjoy partial tax refunds before leaving the country. In this way, the business in the Saiyejun is the most prosperous, with merchants and various goods flowing continuously, which is spectacular."

Abraham was also very happy about the Leaf Army taking away Kizil Port from the Xhosa people, because they naturally transported by ships to the west coast of the Caspian Sea through the Khizil Port. However, the Khanate of the Xhosa monopolized ships and routes. If merchants wanted to transport goods, they had to rent their warehouses. After they were transported to the West Coast, they had to withdraw 10% of the goods as shipment fees, which naturally made merchants complain.

However, if you go back to the west bank from the desert grassland in the north or Dubasidan, there are a lot of barbarians on the road, and the transportation costs on land will definitely be more than 10%. Therefore, merchants have to accept the exploitation of the Xhosa people.

But with the intervention of the Leaf Army, their ships could set off from Kizil Port, arrive at the Baku Port of Azerbaijan, and then go north to Samandal or west to Constantinople. Of course, the premise is that the Leaf Army can withstand the harassment of the Khanate of the Xhosa at sea.

"If the Sailye Army can negotiate peace with the Khanate of Xhosa, the ship can only fly directly to Samandar."

As a Jew, Abraham still wanted to transfer his trade to the Khanate of Xhosa.

However, this time, in addition to transporting the goods to Kizil Port, he also carried a large number of goods with him.

That was a batch of grain that the king of Huoxun Kingdom commissioned him to transport. There were a hundred large trucks. Huoxun Kingdom's large trucks could only carry a thousand kilograms of things. Even so, they could carry a thousand stones of grain. However, from Huoxun Kingdom to the west, they were all deserts. They were carried by camels, and camels themselves consumed a lot of food and grass.

In fact, he only transported five hundred stones of grain and grass this time, of which three hundred stones of grain and two hundred bunches of solid hay. The remaining half was consumed by people and animals on the road.

After receiving this batch of supplies, Sun Xiurong breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of the distance of more than a thousand miles, he consumed half of the food and grass, he became even more urgent to open the sea route as soon as possible.

"Protector"

As a businessman who has truly traveled around the world, Abraham is proficient in various languages, so Tang language is naturally no problem. It is said that Abraham had participated in scientific experiments in Chang'an. Although he had not passed, it was a special "Gake" designed by the emperor to win over these merchants who came from thousands of miles away, but those who could be shortlisted were extraordinary.

Somehow, although Abraham didn't know how to go to the Secret Ye Army to participate in the Caspian route, he felt a little expectant and even happy that the Leaf Sword Army suddenly went deep into the place far away from his homeland.

"There is another letter here, which the king asked me to pass on to you."

Sun Xiurong took the letter.

This is a letter enclosed in an envelope produced by the Tang Dynasty. It has a grassy yellow and slightly thick surface. There is a rectangular square box standing up in the middle. The mouth of the thread is tightly glued with rice paste. There are two varnishes in the middle. Seeing these two varnishes, Sun Xiurong's heart couldn't help but condense.

It was the peach blossom stone-shaped fire lacquer seal.

The peach blossom stone is carved into three branches of the tree-shaped pomegranate holy object of the Zoroastrian religion. On the branch is a lion, but there is something else in the pomegranate.

One seal has a phoenix pattern, and the other is a dragon pattern!

The three-branched pomegranate tree and the male lion represent the goddess of happiness of the Zoroastrian Church. With such a fire lacquer, it can only mean that these two seals do not come from King Hawthorne, but from the Saint!

And in the Kingdom of Huoxun, there is only one saint.

Turandot!

There was no specific text written on the envelope. When he used his short knife to uncover the letter paper, a faint fragrance suddenly emerged.

Sun Xiurong pinched the envelope again and said to everyone: "Of course it is the king's letter, let me read it carefully."

After everyone left, he took out the letter again.

At this time, his former Khonsa Khanate was in the house where officials of the Kizil Port lived.

“Protector..."

The letter was written in Turkic text, with delicate handwriting and it was from a woman at first glance.

I don’t know how long it took, but he finally finished reading the letter. After reading it, he first took it into his arms, and then felt that it was inappropriate, so he took out the scythe, flint, and tinder, lit the tinder and burned it.

Then he sat cross-legged on the ground for a while, as if he was thinking nervously. He looked a little relaxed after about half an hour.

He poured the burnt black letter paper into the ink cartridge on his desk. After adding some clean water, the debris completely dissolved in the water.

He then pushed open the window.
Chapter completed!
