The envoy of Wusun State presented a broken belt.

No wonder he met him. This person was the shortstop who rode his horse over Cao Mengde's head and used a Ju stick to hook Liu Bei's arm, so he fell off the horse.

Fortunately, Liu Bei reached out and grabbed the leather belt around his waist. Although it was broken, the buffering force also saved his life.

"It's the lower official." The King of Wusun gave a salute: "Thank you, the Chief Secretary, for helping him."

"It's just a matter of raising your hand." Liu Bei smiled and replied: "I wonder if the king's envoy was cured?"

"It's already OK."

After a few greetings, Liu Bei asked, "I don't know what the king is doing here?"

"He came for trade." The King of Wusun said, "I heard that the chief expelled the captives, pacified the Western Regions, and opened the trade road again. Then he came to meet him at night. I wonder if he could also build a school library in Chigu City?"

"That's right." Liu Bei nodded happily. He first showed his attitude and then talked about business. The King of Wusun used good methods.

"There are many slaves in our country. Can they come with the Kushans?" the king asked again.

"There are many slaves in your country?" Liu Bei asked back.

"That's right." The King of Wusun sent this to tell the source of slaves from Wusun State in detail.

The greatest source of slaves is naturally foreign wars.

During the rise of Wusun, they defeated the Dayuezhi people, the Seed races, and the Northern Huns one after another. Therefore, these three races are the largest source of slaves in the country.

A slave gave birth to a son, and he was also a slave. According to generations, the number of slaves was quite considerable. It is said that at this time there were no less than hundreds of thousands.

The Great Yuezhi (dà ròu zhī) people belong to the Europa race and originated from a branch of the ancient Indo-European migration on the Eastern European plains.

The Seed race is abbreviated as the Seed race, which belongs to the Mediterranean type of Europa.

"The Wusun has the most different shapes in the Western Regions. Today, the Hu people with blue eyes and red beards are like monkeys, which are based on their species."

According to this statement, the Wusun people should also have red hair, blue eyes, red beards, and light pigmented Europa race.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Yuezhi, let's get a mercy, even if you sell it." The Northern Huns had blood feuds with the Han Dynasty, so let's forget it.

The King of Wusun was overjoyed: "How much does a long-term envoy need?"

"First ten thousand households." Liu Bei smiled and said, "You can imitate Kushan, with ten people in each household, each with twelve zhu gold."

"Thank you, Chief Secretary." The King of Wusun sent a big gift. It should be noted that the Kushanshu used five thousand miles according to this, while the Wusunshu was less than two thousand miles. The expenses along the way were much less than those of Kushans.

"Please get up quickly." Liu Bei stretched out his hand to help him.

Compared to slaves, Liu Bei liked Wusun Xiji horses more. Then he asked: "I wonder if your country's 'Xiji horses' can come together?"

"What's wrong!" The King of Wusun was overjoyed.

The price of horses in Luoyang is extremely high. The reason why it is so high is because of the right monopoly. The price is high. The Wuhuan, the Southern Xiongnu, the Gaoche and other northern nomads are all stocking up and reluctant to sell them. It even pushes up the price of horses.

But the Western Regions are different.

"The Wusun Kingdom, Dakunmi, governed Chigu City, and went to Chang'an with 8,900 miles. The 120,000 households and 6,300 people, and the 188,800 soldiers were defeated. The east was 7,721 miles, and the west was 5,000 miles to the mainland of Kangju. The land was flat and rainy and cold. There were many pine trees. The fields were not planted, and the animals followed the water and grass, and the same customs as the Xiongnu. The east was with the Xiongnu, the northwest was with Kangju, the west was with Dayuan, and the south was with the city walls."

After marrying the Han Dynasty, crops began to grow. The Chigu area included barley, wheat and millet. The upper nobles of the Wusun Kingdom gradually ate grains. They no longer only ate beef, mutton, cheese, roe apples, and milk wine.

Nowadays, Wusun has good horses.

Even though the horse price is quite low, Liu Bei's current financial resources still cannot buy it in large quantities. After all, it is the "Western Ji" known as the second largest in the world.

Then he said, "I want to be in the willows, and the ploughs are pierced, and it runs into three cities and opens the horse market. Now the business roads are cleared, and thieves are gone. Why are the good horses in your country not sold in the horse market?"

"It's so wonderful." The King of Wusun nodded happily.

Abandoning slaves and good horses, Liu Bei also planned to build a winery in Gaochang to produce wine.

As mentioned earlier, compared with the Central Plains, the Western Regions are an untapped piece of untapped jade. They can be deeply complementary to the Central Plains.

As long as the snowy road is opened, famous products in Linxiang will be continuously transported. In particular, such as carriages, fire jade and Huasheng, golden silk blankets, top-quality bedding, fox cloaks, fur coats, brocade mattresses, chicken crowing pillows, jade nectar, and glazed fragrance dew, these money-burning luxury goods will inevitably be enthusiastically sought after by countries in the Western Regions.

A bottle of glass fragrant dew can be exchanged for ten Western Ji horses, which are hundreds of them. It is far more cost-effective than using Wuzhu coins.

The most expensive ones are often the most luxurious ones.

The King of Wusun, who lived in the Western Regions Embassy for several days, loved water and water heating equipment very much. I asked Liu Bei if he could sell it in Chigu City.

What's wrong?

The problem is that washing and heating is not only a commodity, but also a skill. Even if you buy all the accessories, you need to visit Lou Sang in person to finish the laying.

Speaking of which, during the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu ordered Central Plains craftsmen to build a Han-style palace for the princess in Chigu City. Wusun also admired the Han culture very much. Liu Bei was blessed and had a bold plan.

After seeing off the envoy of the Wusun King, he called the Linxiang craftsman who came from Chang'an for 400 miles a day and explained what he thought.

The good craftsman took the order and left.

Five days later, Liu Bei invited the King of Wusun to attend the banquet.

During the banquet, people were ordered to carry up a giant wooden platform on Baishan Mountain. When they opened the show, the sight of the King of Wusun was firmly sucked like a magnet.

On the platform is a miniature model of a city.

Liu Bei ordered his craftsmen to carefully build them according to the landform of Chigu City.

Ask the King of Wusun to look closer and look forward to it.

"Washing water and warm water is just a trick of carving insects." Liu Bei pointed to the heavy buildings, lined up one after another, the streets were like chessboards, and the palaces were majestic and magnificent city models, and tried to say, "Why not build a royal city?"

The King of Wusun asked in a daze: "I don't know... how much is it to build such a magnificent Tongyi Metropolis?"

Liu Bei smiled happily: "It costs 1 billion."

The King of Wusun sighed: "It is really hard to withdraw such a huge amount of money in the country."

Liu Bei laughed again: "It is okay to use things to change things. Slaves and good horses can all be sold to Wuzhu coins for market prices."

A Xiji horse can be sold for 100,000 or even one million or one billion yuan, but it can be exchanged for tens of thousands of good horses. If you count the slaves, this huge amount of money is actually not as difficult as you imagine.

Linxiang Hou was good at building a city, and was famous all over the world.

in other words.

A city with complete functions and far exceeds the present is Linxiang's top-notch product.

It is also the biggest luxury.

"Can you hand this item over to the lower officials to bring it back?" The King of Wusun pointed at the mold and said.

"That's right." Liu Bei smiled warmly.

Because of the oasis, the Western Regions are a city-state system. Compared with Chigu City, which is in Wusun, the Western Regions countries are Liu Bei's biggest potential customers.

Liu Bei renovated its Gancheng in a large manner, and first completed the renovation of the Western Regions Embassy. The purpose of this is self-evident.

When building cities nowadays, most of the materials are expensive. The most expensive one is labor. The largest Linxiang City cost only 100 million yuan. It is conceivable how profitable it is to Liu Bei buy a price of 1 billion yuan to build Chigu New City.

The most important thing is that if the city is handed over to Liu Bei for construction, all facilities will be under control. It is also a slight effort to hide a few secret passages in the sewer network.

It's not necessary to say it, two things.

If there is a change in Wusun, Liu Bei will join his army to attack the city. If there are a few secret passages, wouldn’t there be more chances of victory?

Let’s see how King Wusun thinks.

When the King Wusun envoy returns to Chigu City in the spring of the next year, everything will be clear.

No hurry.

The king is young and can afford to wait.

Suddenly, a few blizzards came, and the end of the year was approaching.

King Shache sent an envoy to report.

There was a large group of herders, dressed in rags, coming along the Pamir River toward it.
Chapter completed!
