The nobles and senior officials of the Western Regions are now very happy.

All their enjoyment should be matched with the standards of the powerful and nobles of Wei State, and to meet the standards that even a nobleman from Wei State came to their houses, he could feel like he was returning to his own home.

That is their pursuit, and they are willing to pay huge sums of money for this - anyway, they have too much money to spend, and they will not use it to improve people's livelihood, so of course they are trying to show off their wealth and enjoy it.

And the best place to consume is naturally Wei State.

So what they consumed in Wei over the years and the consumption within the business scope of the two imperial caravans was enough for Guo Peng to organize a small and medium-sized war of about 10,000 people.

It can be seen that the huge wealth and income brought to them after the opening of the Silk Trail in recent years.

They can do a lot of things they have never thought about before.

Or they spent a lot of money to bring their family to Wei State for a trip.

Go to Chang'an and Luoyang in Guanzhong, go to major cities in the Guandong region, and even travel to Jiangnan.

For these people who have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend, Guo Peng doesn't mind opening a special passage for them to spend money with great effort along the way to show their financial resources.

The more you spend, the better.

In some small countries, there are even situations of fighting for wealth.

In the second quarter of Yande 6, when Guo Peng was reviewing the foreign trade transaction business quota, he suddenly found that the sales of Shujin and tea bricks increased significantly in this quarter, which was quite puzzled.

It’s okay to forget about Shu brocade. This tea brick is a new product of Yande’s four years. Its luxury is still above Shu brocade. When he was still tea, it was not resistant to storage and long-distance transportation and was corrupt from time to time. After Guo Peng learned about it, he ordered the department in charge of Jiangdong Tea Garden to study tea bricks.

After the birth of tea bricks, the storage tolerance has greatly increased and sales have improved. More powerful people are willing to buy tea bricks. Domestic sales are booming and exports are also good, but the sales volume in that quarter was particularly large.

Guo Peng felt curious and sent someone to check it out. The results of the search left him speechless.

It turned out that a wealth battle occurred in Kucha, a major country in the Western Regions.

The main participants were the two uncles of the King of Kucha. They didn't know what was going on, so they started fighting for wealth.

My uncle used imported Shu brocade as firewood to cook rice and water, so the people of Kucha said that he was more generous.

My uncle was very upset, so he chose to use imported tea bricks to cook tea water, and then use tea water to wash dishes. When the news spread, the people of Kucha felt that he was more generous.

My uncle was not willing to be outdone and used the precious luxury goods [icing frosting] imported from the Central Plains Jiangnan to make sugar water, which was used to reward the servants for drinking, and let the servants go out to promote it. Therefore, the people of Kucha said that he was more generous.

My uncle was even more upset and took out the high-end luxury seafood [Pearl] imported from Qingzhou, Central Plains, ground it into powder, and gave it to his servants for taking it, so the people of Kucha said that he was more generous.

After a while, they didn't know how much luxury goods imported from the Central Plains were spent to fight for wealth, which gradually attracted the attention of the King of Kucha and the upper nobles of several surrounding Western Region countries.

Then they also came to the stage to fight for wealth and demonstrated their strong financial resources to prove that they were more generous.

A wave of wealth fighting emerged throughout the Western Regions.

This is OK.

This battle for wealth lasted for a long time and did not end, which shows that the powerful and powerful people from the Western Regions were really full of food and drink.

However, contrary to the drastic changes that have taken place in the upper class of the Western Regions, the lives of the people at the bottom of the Western Regions have not improved much.

How to pass or how to pass, some places even have worse life.

Because the Wei State business travelers came to the places where they live on a large scale to do business, and even bought land.

Wei State Business Travel was willing to spend a lot of money to build its own manor to buy land. After enough money was given, the local rulers were jealous of money and agreed.

A few who disagree and were even criticized as heretics and soon lost their voice.

Therefore, Wei State Business Travel and Tourism were squeezed out in a comprehensive manner, and local farmers and small vendors went bankrupt one after another, and were acquired by Wei State Business Travel and Tourism and included in their own manors.

The manor, which was driven away by Guo Peng in the Wei Kingdom, became a sharp blade in the Western Regions.

Royal merchants purchased land to build manors, ran local farmers and small vendors, and included them in their own manors after they broke the bankruptcy, producing vegetables, melons, vegetables, fruits and agricultural products on the spot, and did not produce staple food. All the grain was transported from Hexi to sell.

Not long after, the small countries in the Western Regions who didn't know how to play economic wars were foggy.

But the ruler himself doesn't care.

As long as there is enough money for them to spend and enjoy, it is enough. A few people who worry about the country and the people repeatedly protest and repeatedly object to the supreme rulers, believing that doing so is to give the country completely to the Wei people and no longer belong to them.

The kings of these small countries heard such voices, but they were not worried, but more afraid.

I was afraid that the people of Wei knew that there were such people in their country, so they would not do business with them and let them have no money to spend.

Then this type of people is generally solved by them internally, and this type of people is not allowed to continue to speak out for a better enjoyment.

They don't want to offend the Wei people.

The upper class pursues the goods of Wei on a large scale, and the middle and lower classes naturally follow the example and form a trend. The local fragile and narrow original ecological commerce is simply impossible to compete with the high-quality products of Wei.

So in just three or four years, the royal caravan team organized by Guo had basically controlled all aspects of the commerce of these countries, from daily necessities, agricultural products, to luxury goods, and even military products, which were all controlled by Wei State Business Travel.

Seventy percent of them were controlled by imperial merchants under Guo Peng's control, and the remaining 30% were controlled by private merchants and travelers.

The commercial power of the small countries in the Western Regions has been squeezed and there is almost no room for survival. All those who survived are using their status and power to cooperate with the business travelers of the Wei State, becoming compradors and other figures, and sting outside.

Because their strength is weak and not even as large as the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, they have no resistance to the all-round commercial invasion of Wei.

So basically as long as Guo Peng ordered their supply of materials to be cut off, they would be in panic in a short period of time.

Or if Mr. Guo ordered the destruction of their country, it would not cause any social unrest.

Of course, it is not a country that is not without dissatisfied and worried about it and then openly opposes it.

It even appeared in a group of times a few years ago.

For example, in Yanqi, the king of Yanqi was very dissatisfied.

He was very dissatisfied with the large-scale operation of the Wei State's business traveler entering Yanqi State to do business and relying on capital and technological advantages to run the bankruptcy of its own farmers and small vendors.
