Qin Qi thought in her mind that after several years of continuous efforts and technological advancement, the distance between the transmitters has exceeded five hundred miles and has entered the range of a thousand miles. The communication problem between the two places has indeed been solved.

Li Dian is right. If the Central Plains region wants to mobilize troops and horses into the Western Regions, the distance is indeed very long, and transportation construction must be accelerated.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come in!"

Qin Qi said.

"Report to my lord, a telegram has been sent from Mulu City, saying that the Parthian Empire's 400,000-strong army has been annihilated.

More than 200,000 Parthian prisoners were captured, nearly 60,000 Arabian war horses were captured intact, and the rest were injured.

According to a call from General Zilong, Mulu City is short of food and grass. If the prisoners are fed, the food may be insufficient. It is said that the food and grass supplied from Loulan City will take ten days to arrive. Please let me know."

Send orders to soldiers.

The Parthian Empire's 400,000-strong army that invaded Mulu City was wiped out, which suddenly surprised Qin Qi!

Unexpected!

Only a few days!

hehe!

Zilong is a bit fierce!

Qin Qi took the telegram from the messenger and quickly inspected it.

"Tell General Zilong to send a cavalry division to attack and snatch back the supplies of the Parthian Empire Army.

Let’s deal with the lack of food first, and then send a telegram to Guo Jia in Loulan City to ask Loulan City to send food and grass to Mulu City.”

Qin Qi said.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

"Lord, our Kangju City is not close to the Parthian Empire. There are a large number of nomadic races in the surrounding areas.

We cleared the air and captured tens of thousands of prisoners. If we crossed the Amu Darya River, we might clash with the Parthian Empire army. I don’t know whether we should attack from the west next, or to guard against the Parthian Empire army.

host."

Xu Huangdao.

hehe!

"Gongming! The pace of expansion must be stopped. It is too far away from the Central Plains and supplies are too difficult.

We must first establish and improve the defense fortifications in Kangju City, and only after the traffic situation in the entire Western Region is completely resolved can we consider expansion."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, I understand my humble position."

Xu Huang cupped his fists.

"Everyone is here. I have an idea in my mind. Let's talk about it and let everyone discuss it and see if there is anything to add."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, please come out and let everyone listen first and then study the feasibility."

Jia Xu said.

"Generals, in this way, we can build the three border cities in Kangju City, Mulu City, and Haolat City.

Build a foreign trade trading zone, or mall. Everything in the mall will be sold to businessmen from other countries.

In cities in border areas, you must have customs clearance documents when entering and exiting the city. If you are a merchant, you must produce a tax payment document for the entry and exit negotiations.

Otherwise, merchants are not allowed to pull things in and out of the city at will. People who are not merchants and are just tourists can also enter and exit the city as long as they do not purchase things and have customs clearance documents."

Qin Qi said.

"Prosper the country! This is a good way to turn the border cities into commercial outlets for selling products from the Central Plains.

For merchants in the Central Plains region, it is indeed a great thing that benefits the country and the people. The establishment of a trading area will not only increase the merchants' profits and returns, but also increase the government's income."

Cao Cao said.

Qin Qi was filled with emotion!

He is worthy of being a great man. After a brief mention, he immediately understood the benefits that this policy would bring to businessmen, people, and the country.

"Haolat City, Mulu City, Kangju City, these border cities are far away from the Central Plains.

Since we are selling various products made in China, we can consider setting unified sales prices."

Cao Cao added.

Qin Qi nodded.

I sincerely admire Lao Cao. No wonder he became a great man, a national hero, a statesman, a writer, and a military strategist.

"We really need to formulate a standard and formulate a corresponding sales price system according to the standard so that merchants can use it as a reference."

Qin Qi said.

"Beizhi grew up in Liangzhou and has some knowledge of some businessmen who entered the Western Regions. According to the businessmen, things from the Central Plains are

If shipped to the Western Regions, the price will be more than ten times that of the Central Plains region, and the profit margin is very attractive."

Jia Xu said.

"Mr. Wenhe is right! When products produced in the Central Plains are sold in the Western Regions, the prices are indeed very impressive.

The profit is more than ten times higher. However, in the past, merchants had to suffer various losses when transporting things into the Western Regions.

We also have to pay tolls to the road bullies and bandits in various places. The cost is also very high. Now, all the road bullies and bandits in the entire Western Region have been wiped out.

Merchants will not be plundered or robbed along the way, and the returns earned by merchants are indeed much higher than before.

I am not jealous, I also hope that businessmen can make more money, especially the money of businessmen from other countries. The more the better.

However, in the past, businessmen did not pay taxes and there was no transaction tax. This was not advisable. Businessmen had to pay taxes.

This is the responsibility and obligation that a businessman should fulfill. As a legal businessman, tax evasion is not allowed.

We found that we must severely punish each other, and we must not tolerate adultery and let businessmen develop the habit of paying taxes.

Especially for businessmen who are engaged in foreign trade, it is not a good habit to make so much money and not pay taxes.

As far as I know, our silk is shipped to Parthia, Peacock, Rome and other countries, and the price is even more shocking.

It should be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the Central Plains. Tea, ceramics, cosmetics, etc. are also very popular."

Qin Qi said.

Snoring!

The general sitting here has his eyes as wide as a bull's eye. It is too profitable to engage in foreign trade.

Jia Xu said that the tenfold return was very surprising, and what Qin Qi said shocked everyone in the conference.

"Xingbang, is the sales price really that high?"

Cao Cao said.

hehe!

"Meng De, I will say random things to deceive everyone, is it necessary? The silk produced in our Central Plains,

Tea, ceramics and other items were indeed very high in the Mauryan Empire, Parthian Empire, and Roman Empire.

Especially items like silk, whether it is Peacock, Parthia, or the Roman Empire, they cannot produce it.

They can't produce such good silk. You know, those countries are ancient empires with a history of thousands of years.

There is too much accumulated wealth, which means that rich families really have no shortage of gold coins. Moreover, silk variants are unique products of our Central Plains region and cannot be produced by other countries."

Qin Qi said.

"Xingbang, I have heard that I have heard that if you want to take a caravan to sea, you are not thinking of Peacock, Parthian, Rome and other empires!"

Cao Cao said.

"We do have this plan. After the Western Expedition is over, we will return to the Central Plains and have a good rest before taking the caravan out to sea."

Qin Qi said.

"When the country is rejuvenated, I will be called to a humble position. I also want to go overseas to see and travel. I can't stay in the Central Plains all the time."

Cao Cao said.

Qin Qi nodded.

hehe!

"Meng De, don't worry! When I go to sea, I will definitely ask you to go out and learn more about the customs and customs of other countries, and visit the landscapes, cultural heritage, etc. of each country."

Qin Qi said.

"Okay! We have made an agreement."

Cao Cao said.

Next, Qin Qi sent the negotiated plan to Xun Yu via telegram, asking Xun Yu and the others to study it carefully.


Chapter completed!
