168 Can't refuse

The content written by the former king is another world that the prince cannot imagine.

"All of them live in the city?"

"Yes. Even villages have high walls to guard them. They are called 'Yi'." Lao Wang obviously knew more: "They have enough cities to accommodate people outside the city during wartime."

"Why don't we imitate that kind of weapon called 'cross'?" the prince asked again.

Lao Wang recovered his strength a little and said, "What will happen to our country when the untouchables have a 'cross'?"

"Slaves and untouchables will use it to shoot and kill whipped soldiers, officials who come to collect taxes... and even assassinate all the superiors who oppressed them." The prince understood. The slave states were completely unworthy of possessing crossbows.

"What is scary is not the crossbow itself." Lao Wang looked at him with a savage: "It is the great man who can't help but bow and crossbow. Everyone can hold crossbows, and the people can cast swords. I can't imagine how the great man can stand for four hundred years. The male man in this empire will have to serve in the army for two years after he grows up. Everyone is like this."

"Everyone?" the prince asked again.

The military service system in the Han Dynasty was at least a thousand years earlier than the world. The advanced nature of the Han civilization was taken out by a thousand years at will. If every item that constitutes the entire civilization, or most of them, are leading the world for thousands of years, can it be said that this civilization is leading the world for thousands of years?

"Yes. Everyone must serve the empire in their own way." Lao Wang replied.

Lao Wang said again: "They have a population of 50 million. They take away ten million gold coins from our pockets every year."

Seeing the prince lower his head and silent.

"The new lord of the distant oasis, a noble hero with the royal blood of the Han Dynasty, wants to buy 100,000 slaves at the price of one gold coin per person. The premise is all Amazons." Lao Wang finally said: "I cannot refuse child."

The prince understood. This transaction is not only about money, but also about power.

Bazaar Market, Colosseum prison.

The torches were raised high, and the Kingdom guards holding scimitars rushed in and surrounded the prison.

"Don't move." The queen spoke calmly.

The female warriors allowed the prison door to be opened, put on heavy shackles, and were chained into a string.

"Queen?" Ashivaya looked alert like all the tribesmen.

"We may not be able to go to Rome, Ashivaya." The queen whispered.

He walked out of the prison and then out of the Colosseum. I saw that the Bazaar market was filled with caravans filled with slaves. The queen glanced at it and suddenly felt suspicious. The car was mostly elderly and young children. There were very few adult strong slaves. Many were even sold to their families.

Who wants to buy dying elderly people and young children who have to be raised for many years?

"Where are we going?" the queen asked before boarding the bus.

"Go to the far east." The driver replied with a smile.

There were already crowds of people on both sides of the street. Many people came to see Amazon farewell.

When the vehicle is driving, petals are still falling on the top of the head.

People called the Queen's name and watched her go away.

The heroes are immortal because no one can kill their great achievements and a greater reputation.

It is Qiancheng, Changshi Mansion.

The mountains and rivers outside the house were all white, and water turned into ice. Only then did Liu Bei understand why Ban Dingyuan built such a thick wall to keep warm.

The temperature difference between the four seasons in the Western Regions is too huge.

Fortunately, the water in the Changshi Mansion was built before the winter. The warm cabinet brought warm wind, and the house was as warm as spring. Qin Dai, Murong Yan, Yan Bi, Meng Li, all of them were pregnant one after another. They should not move. Fortunately, apart from the Qifu Xianbei who had been hiding their whereabouts, the western region was peaceful. The beginning of spring next year, the Silk Road will surely be unobstructed.

At this time, the Western Regions mission should have arrived in the suburbs of Luoyang. You can enter Beijing by avoiding the blizzard.

I heard that several kings of the great powers who accompanied him had drafted a memorial. I wanted to reopen the Western Regions Protectorate. Of course, Liu Bei was the first Protectorate.

Liu Bei's heart was like an arrow. How could he stay in the Western Regions forever?

Besides, it is no different for Liu Bei to be a gubernatorial captain of the Western Regions. More than 3,000 households in Tuoba's other Xianbei who settled in the city of Gancheng all followed his horse. Three thousand Tuoba's brides followed him with orders. In addition, the prefectures, Zhang Meng, Duan Wei, and tens of thousands of old soldiers guarding the border. Then wait for 100,000 slaves outside the territory, and stationed in Gaochang, Liuzhong, Wulei, Quli, and Zhenzhong.

As the slave owner, Liu Bei is naturally the biggest winner.

Who will be the commander of the three thousand Tuoba Xianbei?

Liu Bei was unable to make a decision for the moment.

The Tuoba other troops who started their family and stayed in the city of Gancheng have been drawn out of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others and formed a team separately. They are still left to the two brothers to practice.

The military camp located in the outer city was full of killing sounds. The residents in the city all slept peacefully. This year, the food and grass will be supported by various countries in the Western Regions. When the spring next year is about to start next year, they will be able to maintain their own farming within a few years. In addition, the warehouse located in the city of Shin City has opened business and lend money to various countries. It is believed that it will not take long before the Western Regions countries will use sufficient food and grass to offset national debts.

The Kushan gold coins collected from Hedi's treasury, and apart from the gifts presented to His Majesty, Liu Bei ordered people to melt them into horseshoe golden cakes. The various copper coins collected were also melted into copper ingots and stored for later use. He dared not mint the coins. If he could reopen the Western Regions Protectorate, he might as well try to ask for the right to mint coins. After all, the Western Regions are thousands of miles apart, and urgently needed is one, and the second is not affected by the influence of the pass.

Let's talk about it if it can be done.

What if it is done? Right.

Before the mountain was covered with heavy snow, the Wusun envoy crossed the Baishan Avenue and arrived at it.

This tunnel connecting Wusun and Kucha is called the "Wusun Ancient Road". Later generations are called the "Xiata Ancient Road".

It is part of the Wusun to Kucha Post Road. It is a shortcut connecting the north and south of Baishan. It is famous for its steepness and ruggedness, and it extends to the foot of the iceberg. It connects the north and south of Baishan, with a total length of more than 300 miles, and is a shortcut from Wusun to the southern countries. The envoy wanted to rush to Yancheng, but heard that the chief had moved it. Then he arrived quickly.

The Wusun envoy crossed mountains and ridges and traversed the dangerous roads to this point. The purpose is naturally trade.

The Wusun Kingdom produced a lot of horses. "Han Shu: Biography of the Western Regions 66": "There are many horses in the country, and the rich are as high as four or five thousand." The Wusun horse has excellent breeds and is the "Western Pole" second only to Dayuan horses.

Xiji Horse.

Like thunderous.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, the Western Regions offered Wusun horses. When Emperor Wu saw this horse, he gave it the name "Tianma". Later, the Western Regions paid tribute to Dayuan's sweat and blood horses. So he changed the Wusun horse to "Xiji Horse" and called the sweat and blood horses "Tianma". There are also Yanqi "Roge Horses", both of which are named horses in the Western Regions. The Western Regions horses have beautiful appearances: big eyes, bright eyes, high head and neck, small and sensitive ears. In addition, they are tall, have strong limbs, steady steps, and are not prone to illness.

It is the first choice for the army.

Nowadays, horses are expensive. If you can build a horse farm, you will be profitable.

Don't worry. Let's listen to what the Wusun envoy said.

Wusun is the "country of travel", and the capital is Chigu City.

"With the animal husbandry, we live with water and grass, there is no permanent place for the city walls, so it is called "Zhiguo."

The customs are similar to those of the Huns.

When Liu Bei chose an auspicious day, he would meet with the Wusun envoy in the Changshi's Mansion.

The host and guest sat down. Liu Bei saw that the Wusun envoy looked very familiar. He was about to speak, but the envoy had already presented something first.
