Stunning Supreme Spirit Pivot

Chapter 152 Deterrence [4]

Shi Ying is a good player in marching and fighting, and knows nothing about business, but after hearing what Cai He said, he also knows that they have an advantage.

In a fight, the favored side can create too many opportunities.

"Call together a few merchants from the Western Regions! If you don't pay, you won't be able to pass through the northern border!" Shi Ying said, "The road to trade with them will be closed!"

"People in the Western Regions are extremely shrewd. Three years ago, they resold food and made a lot of money. This time, they should spit it all out!" Cai He was excited, thinking that he could solve the problem of movement and disorder without using private treasury. get more!
The daughter of King Beining may seem weak, but in fact...she is smart, and she did not disappoint him at all when they met for the first time!

"One more thing." Fan Lingshu raised his head, still speaking in a calm tone, but this time Shi Ying and Cai He looked at her without the same contempt as before.

"Mu Lan's army occupies such a unique place in the northern border, resisting the desolate people, deterring the Chiyun country, so that the people of the Western Regions can travel and do business in a safe and secure way. Could it be that there is no reward for creating such favorable conditions for them?"

"The young master means..." Cai He is a scholar and a business mind, and immediately fell into deep thought, and unconsciously changed her address, "Should we levy taxes on merchants from the Western Regions?"

"Taxation is the emperor's business, how can we count it as taxation?" Brahman Lingshu smiled lightly, "It's just that if you want to do business safely and worry-free, you have to pay some protection fees."

"Isn't this what robbers say!" Shi Ying immediately said, "If you do robbers in a bright and honest way, Mu Lan's army will be ridiculed by the world!"

Even Mu Yunfei frowned slightly.

Fan Lingshu propped her chin with one hand, and her exquisite makeup made her look a little coquettish, "Who said we have to be robbers in a fair manner?"

Both Shi Ying and Cai He, the bookworms, were stunned.

Mu Yunfei slapped his thigh and said, "The northern border is our territory, so we have the final say on whether there are robbers or not!"

"Young Marshal, how can such a thing be possible?" Shi Ying's face darkened, "Wouldn't the fame of King I of Beining be ruined!"

"Compared to such illusory things as reputation, the fate of Mu Lanjun and the entire Mu family is the most important." Fan Lingshu tapped the table lightly, "The people in the Western Regions are barren after all, but they have natural ores, spices, Medicinal materials, and we have food, cloth, tea, porcelain and other necessities for daily life. When they come to Xuanyue country for trade, they have to pay taxes to the country first, and we charge a protection fee. When the goods are shipped back to the Western Regions, the price will naturally rise , what should people from the Western Regions do?"

"In order to survive, the Western Regions will start another war." Mu Yunfei looked at Fan Lingshu, with a strange light in his eyes, how could it be, she was only at this age...how could she think so far?

"Uncle has just quelled the wars in the eight countries of the Western Regions. Now that the Western Regions are peaceful, what should the millions of Black Banner troops do? What a huge amount of food and salaries the imperial court allocates to the Black Banner Army every year. If there is no war, it is impossible for any emperor to support them." With so many soldiers and horses."

Fan Lingshu looked at the floating tea in the teacup, the tea was already cold without any temperature.

"They can choose not to trade with Xuanyue Kingdom." Shi Ying said, but this time, her voice was much weaker.

Fan Lingshu didn't open his mouth. Cai He could answer this question: "If they don't go from the northern border, they will go in a big circle to Chiyun Kingdom, and then they will definitely pass through the demon world. The danger of the demon world will never return. Who dares to take such a risk?"
