The variety in the bakery is already much richer. There are different flavors such as brown bread, white bread, grape bread, sweet bread, salty bread, brioche bread, strawberry bread, etc. There are also a variety of fruit cakes, so that the guests have a wide range of choices.

And the menu is beautifully drawn and pasted on the wall, making it very appetizing. Based on Goganya's recommendation, Mamikonian chose a strawberry mousse cake, which is the signature pastry of the Byzantine bakery.

I also ordered several different flavors of bread and drinks.

"Do you have any nut milk tea sweetened with sugar?" , Ge Gan asked aloud.

Because the production of cane sugar in Khorasan is not high, the price of brown sugar and white sugar is relatively expensive. If you want to add sugar cubes to milk tea, you will add one or two more copper coins.

Mamikonian was not short of money, so he asked Goganya to add more sugar to the milk tea.

Several Georgians who accompanied him looked at their surroundings and sat down in amazement. Jangil picked up a deck of playing cards, briefly explained the rules, and invited Mamikonian to play.

A block away from it, a group of guests dressed as Mongolians were being greeted on the third floor.

In Khorasan, Yipinju is a well-known high-end restaurant. Malu's is just a semicolon, and the store is still breaking leaves. However, in terms of revenue, the latter can't catch up with Malu. After all, it is the capital, and there are many dignitaries and dignitaries, and the consumption power is much higher.

And the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper of Yipinju is not ordinary.

He is the son of the former Liao general and the current Tubo general Tayang Gu. In the youth battalion, he is also a young general with military exploits. And with the lord of Khorasan Li Chengji is the brother of the worshipper, the relationship is quite hard.

With this, no one in Malu City dared to go wild in Yipinju.

Now, with the expansion of Khorasan, Yipinju has also opened a number of branches. There are cities such as Broken Leaves, Xunskan, Kujand, Xiqi, Puhua, Yeli, Tusi, Karachi, and Thorny. Although it was not as rapid as the expansion of the Lee Firm, which had been renamed the Royal Commercial Bank, it was relatively fast.

At this moment, the third son of the Mongolian Great Khan, Ogedei, led his fourth brother Tulei, the Mongolian important minister Tata Tong'a, and his uncle Hesar to sit down together. There were also some retinues, standing behind them, guarding the various corners of the box.

is also the three people in front of him are all heavyweights in Mongolia, and they can't tolerate the slack of people below.

"Uncle, fourth brother, teacher, you have been in Khorasan for many days, how do you compare to my Great Mongolia?" , Wokotai stared at the noisy street market outside the window and said loudly.

Since the peace talks between Khorasan and Mongolia were settled, the personal restrictions of Tulei, Tata Tonga, and Ghazar were lifted. In order to show the friendship of Khorasan, Li Chengji also allowed Tuo Lei and them to personally go to the prisoner camp to select suitable Mongol prisoners to be escorts.

As for the other captives, although they were not released immediately, they were not treated harshly. Just wait for the Mongols to send someone over and send them out of the country.

Of course, the brothers settle accounts.

The captives were fed and drunk. In the end, they are not like other captives, who can be repaid by their work.

Although he didn't like the philistines of Khorasan, the Mongolian side still agreed.

After all, the asking price in Khorasan is not high, and there is no need to tear your face because of this.

"Khorasan is rich and strong. External victories continue, and internal people are well-being. By force alone, there are more than a million of our Mongolian detainees. And the Mongolian boy can ride a horse and shoot arrows since he was a child. Although the days of Khorasan were short-lived, the people were content with ease and did not want to shoot arrows on horseback. Since childhood, Tuo Lei has established the concept of the first armed forces of the Great Mongolia.

So even though Khorasan is a hundred times richer than Mongolia, he still thinks that Mongolia is better than Khorasan in his heart.

Hesar shook his head with some concern, and responded: "I have heard in the teahouse a few days ago that the Khorasan military department intends to recruit soldiers on a large scale after the founding ceremony. Many people are already ready to sign up. Although it is true that a comfortable life can easily make people corrupt and degenerate, the whole country of Khorasan is not as prosperous as Maru.

Those places that have just come out of war are still very poor. Many families are still eating a big pot of rice and receiving interest-free relief food from the Khorasan government.

This is a food subsidy policy for border areas and newly established counties.

The government distributed food to the people through collective labor. It's not free, but it doesn't require interest. And it lasted for one year, which was enough for the people to survive the famine year after the Great War.

When it was time for spring plowing in the following year, the government also issued grain seeds and farm tools to the people in the form of credit. so that they can resume production and become self-reliant as soon as possible.

In addition to this, there is also a rent-free policy for two consecutive years.

This is not limited to those who farm, but also those who raise cattle and sheep. The government will give them lambs on credit in advance, so that they can get out of poverty as soon as possible.

These policies are not seen in the vicinity of Malu, but they have seen them in the territory of Huihe and Xiaye. At that time, they did not understand the actions of the Khorasan government.

Later, they had to use the reason of the Khorasan government's hypocrisy and righteousness to take the opportunity to accumulate money, so as to convince themselves from their hearts to accept the Khorasan government's actions that violated common sense.

At that moment, after listening to the words of Ghazal, Tata Tonga added: "The conscription system of Khorasan is very different from that of my Great Mongolia. They were not allowed to plunder without permission as soldiers, and the government issued them uniformly. The more military merits, the more lucrative gains. And their family members will be exempted from land rent and tax due to military dependents. If they are disabled and discharged from the army, the government will also arrange a way back for them, so that they can support their families. ”。

"So harsh! And someone else who lives for them? Wokotai's first reaction was that the Khorasan government was cutting itself off. Because how much money can be in the army, where can it attract people to join the army and work for Khorasan.

He Sa'er shook his head and said loudly, "Wrong, wrong! As soon as this move came out, Khorasan enlisted in the army. ”。 Tata Tonga also explained: "When you are a soldier and eat food, what you ask for is just a way to live. Khorasan gave a lot of money! The lowest of the ladies can have eight dinars a month. ”。

"Khorasan has so many dinars?" , Ogedai was surprised.

Everything in the Great Mongols is obtained through plunder! So in their view, the total amount of money is fixed. If you send out your money, you will never be able to make ends meet.

Tata Tonga didn't speak, only smiled and asked people to go outside and buy a newspaper.

Soon, the retinue brought three newspapers from outside. One is Allah and the other is Malu County. The other is the Khorasan Business Daily.

But without exception, all of them reported in eye-catching text the tax revenues from the old year of Khorasan to the first half of this year.
