cosmic hegemony

Chapter 625, the contradiction begins with tariffs

With the strategic cooperation agreement reached between the Empire and the Honor Alliance, a vast void centered on the Empire has ushered in a rare period of peace. Restricted by the League of Honor, the external policy has been changed to 'disintegrate and disintegrate the League of Honor'.

Within the League of Honor, due to the agreement of the offensive and defensive alliance, the wars between each other have also stopped. Many river systems that originally had deep hatred for each other have also stopped wars. They are both members of the League of Honor, and they dare not violate the alliance at all. agreement.

Peace has the benefits of peace. In the entire vast void, the trade between river systems has begun to flourish. Because no one dares to break the current situation, even if there are conflicts between them, they can only suppress each other. Most of them are economic and trade exchanges.

The empire is located in the center of the entire region, and it is the most powerful civilization in the surrounding area. It also has trade weapons such as biological warfare soldiers, so it has gradually become the core and hub of the entire region's economy and trade.

The caravans of the League of Honor going south and north pass through the territory of the empire is the shortest distance, and basically every member of the League of Honor is desperately buying advanced biological warfare soldiers from the empire to strengthen their own strength, especially in the These river system civilizations and forces in the periphery are even more curious about biological warfare soldiers.

Time is slowly passing by, and 1 years have passed in a blink of an eye!

Luoyuan Civilization Linyuan River System leads to the Yanhuang Empire's Andromeda galaxy at the entrance of time and space ocean flow. Because it is an important route to the Yanhuang Empire, this place is more prosperous than before, and the entire void is full of Neatly arranged space ports.

The brightly lit space port is extremely busy, with spaceships rising and falling, caravans traveling north and south, and people of various races from various river system civilizations and forces of the Honor League gathering here, bargaining with each other to discuss goods. trade.

"Go to the Andromeda Galaxy of the Yanhuang Empire, a total of 100 million spaceships."

Kakao, a merchant from the Custer Empire with two horns on his head, handed a card to the Luoyuan civilization customs officer. He has traveled to and from the Yanhuang Empire not once or twice, so he is familiar with many things.

The Custer Empire is tens of millions of light-years away from the Yanhuang Empire, and it takes thousands of years to travel through more than ten river systems.

Of course, anyone who has done interstellar trade in the universe knows that the farther you travel in the universe, the higher the profit. Although this transaction takes thousands of years, the profit is also terribly high, tens of thousands of times, ten times. Ten thousand times, a million times, it is not online at all, with better luck, one trip is enough for children and grandchildren to eat for countless generations.

However, cosmic trade also requires a lot of capital, especially for this kind of long-distance cosmic trade. Only the most powerful businessmen among the river system civilizations and forces can afford it. The investment is large, and you can do it casually It is the cargo of hundreds of thousands of large spaceships.

Then small forces with only a few thousand or tens of thousands of spaceships can only play in the nearby river system, and they simply cannot withstand the toss of this long-distance space trade.

This time, Kakao is carrying a large amount of goods to the Yanhuang Empire to sell, most of which are extremely valuable heaven and earth spiritual materials, and they can be sold at a good price when they arrive at the Yanhuang Empire. The biological soldiers of the empire can maximize the profits of this trip as soon as they return to the Custer Empire.

"If you go to the Yanhuang Empire, you need to pay a 70% tariff. I don't know if you pay with Yanhuang coins or with goods."

Luoyuan Civilized Customs staff carefully read the information on the card, and then said very indifferently.

"What? 70% tariff, did I hear you right?"

When Kakao heard it, he couldn't believe it. He thought he had heard it wrong. Tariffs would exist as long as there was trade. Because of the honor alliance, the trade between members is very close, and tariffs are generally not It would be too heavy, and the previous tariff was only about 5%.

"You heard me right, it's 70%. As long as you pay the tariff, you can go to the Yanhuang Empire."

Luoyuan Civilized Customs staff nodded and said again.

"You are stealing money. The previous tariff was only 5%. Why is it suddenly increased by 70% now?"

Kakao almost jumped up. The 70% tariff is really too heavy. This journey has passed through more than ten river systems, and none of the river systems have to pay tariffs. In fact, the tariffs are quite heavy. Now they have to pay a 70% tariff all at once. If the tariff is paid, this trip can basically be regarded as a waste of time.

"In the past, that was the past. Now the tariffs have been adjusted. If you don't pay the tariffs, you may not be able to go to the Yanhuang Empire."

The staff of Luoyuan Civilized Customs said coldly, in fact, he was a little confused about the sudden increase in tariffs, but the orders of the superiors must be resolutely carried out.

"Hmph~ I will report this matter to our Custer Empire. I believe the Honor League will give us a fair explanation."

Kakao snorted very dissatisfied, took back his card, and prepared to contact the Custer Empire, so that the empire behind him would back him up.

"Whatever you want, our Luoyuan civilization will still be afraid that your Custer Empire will fail?"

The Luoyuan Civilization Customs staff seemed indifferent. Luoyuan Civilization is a powerful civilization that occupies more than a dozen river systems, and it is not a Custer Empire at all.

……

In a virtual conference room, the representatives of the members of the Honor League kept flashing, and the figure of the emperor of the Custer Empire, the bull, was also in it, but at this time he had a very unhappy expression on his face. Scanning in the virtual conference room, he quickly found the leader of Luoyuan civilization, Buck.

"Your Excellency Buck, I don't know why you Luoyuan suddenly increased the tax on our Custer Empire's caravan going to the Yanhuang Empire, a 70% tariff, what do you mean?"

The barbarian bull has the violent temper of the tauren race, and is a powerful and civilized emperor, so his temper is not very good. Now he pointed directly at Buck's little head and asked.

In fact, not only Kakao's caravan encountered the problem of a sudden increase in tariffs, other caravans also encountered the same situation, as long as the caravan headed to the Yanhuang Empire was taxed.

"Your Majesty the bull, don't give yourself money. Our Luoyuan civilization is not aimed at your Custer Empire. We treat every member fairly. All caravans going to the Yanhuang Empire, no matter which river system civilization they come from, we They are all subject to a uniform tariff of 70%.”

Facing the accusation from the bull, Buck still remained calm. The strength of Luoyuan civilization is very strong, so there is no way to be afraid of the Custer Empire, not to mention the treaty restrictions of the League of Honor.

"Yeah, why is the tax on our caravan suddenly raised, and it's so heavy?"

"We must give us an explanation today."

"Our caravan has also been taxed, but it is the Bart Empire."

"The Obadiah River System has also raised taxes on us, also 70%!"

Representatives of other river system civilizations and forces in the surrounding area also began to yell. Not only Luoyuan civilization raised the tariff to 70%, but all these river system civilizations and forces bordering the Yanhuang Empire also raised their tariffs. 70%, it seems that these civilizations have agreed with each other.

This cosmic trade can only travel back and forth safely through space-time ocean currents. Although it can also be reached through the dark abyss, the risks involved are too great, the losses are too serious, and it is obviously unrealistic to not get supplies and rest.

Luoyuan Civilization, Bate Empire, Yubi River System, Obadiah River System, and other river system civilizations and forces adjacent to the empire raised tariffs, and immediately everyone's business route to the Yanhuang Empire was blocked.

"What? Tariffs have also been raised in other directions?"

At this time, Man Niu realized that things were not as simple as they seemed, and asked other people. Soon, everyone chatted with each other for a while, and everyone knew the various routes leading to the Yanhuang Empire. Tariffs on air routes have been raised.

"What do you mean? The tariffs we levied on your caravans have never been raised. You have increased the tariffs privately, which has seriously affected our space trade."

Man Niu said to Buck and the others.

"That's right, what do you mean? Why did you raise the tariff to 70% all of a sudden? If you don't give us an explanation today, we will also impose the same tariff on your caravan."

"Think about it, this is not only harming our interests, but also harming the interests of the Yanhuang Empire."

The leaders of civilizations also shouted. At this time, in the virtual meeting room, the people of the Honor League began to be divided into three parts. One part was led by the Custer Empire bulls, who were seriously dissatisfied with the increase in tariffs, and the other part was Led by the leader of the Luoyuan civilization, Buck, these are the leaders of the river system civilizations adjacent to the Yanhuang Empire; there are also some who have nothing to do with themselves, and these are the leaders of the river system in the middle area. Civilization leader.

"If you want to increase tariffs, you can increase tariffs. We don't care. Anyway, if you don't pay the tariffs we set, you don't want to go to the Yanhuang Empire from our territory."

Buck looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said with a sneer that he didn't care about all kinds of threats at all.

In fact, this increase in tariffs was also initiated and proposed by the leader of Luoyuan civilization, Buck. Other river system civilizations and forces adjacent to the Yanhuang Empire also responded positively. There is no way, Luoyuan civilization, Bart empire and other civilizations are also suffering from pink eye disease.
