God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

After a large number of data arrays and complex calculations, Lucci formulated a tax result that everyone can accept.

"Okay, if that's the case, then go ask them and collect the protection fee by the way..." Li Jue nodded on the spot and said angrily at the same time.

"We are a formal organization, with a legal organization endorsed by the Han Empire, so the collection of caravan tolls is a qualified toll tax. It is collected from the people and used for the people. How can it be called protection fees?" Lu Qi He looked at Li Jue quite speechlessly. Although there was no difference between the two in terms of behavior, the difference in name and final result was also different.

What is legal is legal, what is illegal is illegal, the gap between the two is huge.

The former can be confronted in court, while the latter can only be justified with a big fist.

"That's right..." Li Jue looked at Lu Qi's serious look, nodded, and brushed off the content.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, just get over it first. In his opinion, big fists are justified.

They all went to Congling, which is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and they still worried about whether it was legal or not. It was just overthinking.

Seeing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but shook his head, but he didn't say much, but moved forward silently, preparing to go to the merchants of the caravan to ask about the relevant content.

Merchants from these caravans would also pass through Yumen Pass and enter the Han Empire.

If he can abide by the rules, he will naturally abide by them as much as possible, because he himself is one of the people who made the rules. If he doesn't even abide by them, how can he expect others to abide by them.

The main reason for being so quiet and cautious is that these westward-bound caravans include many businessmen with aristocratic family backgrounds. Who knows if there may be some weird people in them. When the time comes, they will see through their true colors, and then in the court It wouldn't be fun if you reported yourself to someone above.

If you really want to be admonished by others and start a quarrel in the court, no matter what, it is not a good thing.

"Thanks to the relatively safe route, this trade route has become increasingly prosperous, and more and more people are doing this kind of business. Normally, you can make a trip every two or three years. Now, it's basically every trip. It takes more than a year to go back and forth, and in terms of income, it is indeed a lot more than before..."

Lu Qi followed Li Jue and others to the gathering place of businessmen. Listening to the voices in his ears, he felt a little more satisfied.

The people who are most sensitive to this kind of time are businessmen who often travel here and there. They are the ones who experience this aspect most clearly.

After returning home, these people will also send such messages to other people and other aristocratic families.

The growth of the essence of heaven and earth has not only brought about an increase in the upper limit of the world's force, but also improved people's physical fitness and movement speed. The former imperial barrier has long ceased to exist.

And this means that the already vast empire can continue to expand externally and build a more glorious territory.

"Wan Peng!" Li Jue looked at the familiar figure in the market and immediately shouted, "Come here quickly, something happens!"

Lu Qi followed the direction of the sound and looked over, and saw a very special person among the Xiliang Cavalry - Wan Peng.

As the saying goes, there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings, and naturally there are various leaders in the Xiliang Army, and Wan Peng is one of them. Compared with others, Wan Peng is far behind in terms of personal ability and military achievements. What makes up for all this is the identity and background behind Wan Peng...

What Wan Peng is doing now actually has little to do with the army, but because of his position and the many factors of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he still has a legion in his hands.

But even so, Wanpeng spent more time on how to manage Congling market operations and maintain market order.

Based on the human geography, customs and habits mentioned by businessmen coming and going, the relevant content was sorted out and compiled into a volume, thus constructing a set of human geography unique to Wanpeng.

Hearing this familiar voice, Wan Peng also put down everything in his hands and looked in the direction where the sound came from. After discovering that it was Li Jue, he quickly put down what he was doing and quickly came to Li Jue's side.

Wan Peng, who came to Li Jue's side, also noticed the elegant Lu Qi and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Lu Qi also returned the gift. In any case, Wanpeng's status was not low.

Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou are the top county princes in terms of titles. Although there are reasons for this, it is undeniable that they are indeed the highest-ranked people in the Han Empire.

As for Wanpeng, there is inheritance in his family, and the Wan family itself is the only one from generation to generation, so at this time, Wanpeng can be called a marquis without any problem.

"General Wan, how are you collecting intelligence from the West? Do you know why this Kushan Empire army went to the Parthian Empire?" Lu Qi looked at the people around him and could only ask himself.

Faced with such a question, Wan Peng recalled for a moment and said, "According to those businessmen, it seems that the Emperor of Parthia held a coronation ceremony not long after he took office, and his power was in a vacuum..."

After hearing such words, Lu Qi recalled the relationship between the Parthian Empire and the Kushan Empire. It seemed that it was indeed not a good situation.

The conflict between the two countries is actually very huge, and the border between the two sides is also very long.

In recent years, the Yuezhi in the Kushan Empire have further focused on the Brahmins, resulting in conflicts on the northern border that are relatively weak.

Regarding this point, the Beigui personnel, who knew that they could not fight on two fronts, also shrank their defense lines and moved south.

This left an extremely wide road that could be transported directly from Congling to the Parthian Empire without passing through the Kushan Empire.

This also allows silk merchants who often trade on this road to further reduce their costs and ensure more profits.

However, this kind of thing did not last long. Under the coordination of Vesuthiva I, Beigui naturally led the army again to regain the lost land, and redirected Vesudeva I, trying to use the vast land of Central Asia. land to prove their ability and strength.

The period during which the Parthian Empire changed its emperor was more like an opportunity given by God.

How could an emperor who had been in power for less than a year take back power from the stubborn seven nobles? And how much fighting power could a dispersed empire have?

Beigui knew this very well, so he silently led the army and embarked on the journey. (End of chapter)
