Chapter 385: The Grain Control of the Chinese Empire

Of course, although the ancestors were broad, the northern Bolgar Khanate did not consider this to be the ancestor of the Bulgarian Kingdom, and the northern Bolgar Khanate considered it to be the ancestor of its own Bolgar Khanate.

And not the ancestors of the Bulgarian kingdom who had abandoned their ancestral culture and chose to embrace the Slavic culture.

Having said that, it cannot be denied that the royal family of the Kingdom of Bulgaria and the Great Khan of the Bulgarian Khanate were both from the same family, although now they are separated.

Speaking of which, the Bolgar Khanate and the Bulgarian kingdom did not dwell too much on the topic of orthodoxy.

The two countries, the Bolgar Khanate and the Kingdom of Bulgaria, are discriminating against each other.

Although they all seem to be of the same race, the Kingdom of Bulgaria does not want to pay attention to poor relatives living in the poor lands of the north.

The Bolgar Khanate did not bother to do so, living in the south of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, which was governed by Orthodox dogma.

For their part, the Bolgar Khanate did not know much about the Orthodox Church, and they believed that joining the Orthodox Church was bound by the rules.

However, the Kingdom of Bulgaria did not see it that way, and the Bulgarian Kingdom only used the Orthodox Church as an instrument, an instrument of rule.

But in fact, the Bulgarian kingdom was gradually influenced by the Orthodox Church, as well as by the Slavic culture.

If it weren't for the Chinese Empire, I'm afraid the situation of the Kingdom of Bulgaria would not be as embarrassing as it is today.

Since the rise of the Chinese Empire from the north, the northern part of the Bulgarian Kingdom has been acquired by the Chinese Empire.

The living space of the Bulgarian Kingdom in the north was also squeezed by the Chinese Empire, and the Bulgarian Kingdom actually had the strength to attack some places.

For example, the Kingdom of Bulgaria actually had the strength to attack part of the territory of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

But when the Chinese Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire formed an alliance, the Bulgarian kingdom did not dare to take action against the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire.

After all, the Bulgarian kingdom was afraid of attacking the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and the Chinese Empire would attack the territory from the north.

The Bulgarian Kingdom was really a little afraid of the Chinese Empire, after all, the Chinese Empire rose too fast, and the Chinese Empire was able to defeat the Bulgarian Kingdom's army in border conflicts several times.

However, the Bulgarian kingdom is very contradictory, in addition to the Bulgarian kingdom is a little afraid of the Chinese Empire, the Bulgarian kingdom is actually a little pro-Chinese Empire.

Although it seems that the Chinese Empire was not very kind to the Bulgarian Kingdom, the Chinese Empire also sent missionaries to invade and infiltrate the Bulgarian Kingdom.

However, the Chinese Empire was not as excessive as the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, and while the Chinese Empire infiltrated the Bulgarian Kingdom, the Chinese Empire also gave some help to the Bulgarian Kingdom.

Because of this, the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire let the Bulgarian Kingdom go to war against the Chinese Empire together, and the Bulgarian king was really unwilling!

After thinking about it, the Bulgarian king finally called the military governor of the Kingdom of Bulgaria and his own daughter.

After a while, the daughter of the Bulgarian king took the lead in coming to the Bulgarian royal palace, Her Royal Highness the princess of the Bulgarian kingdom, that is, the envoy who had previously sent to the Chinese Empire.

This princess of the Bulgarian kingdom has not been valued in the Bulgarian kingdom before, although the king of Bulgaria is kind to this daughter.

But the princess of the Bulgarian kingdom was not given any rights by the Bulgarian king, not that the Bulgarian king was unwilling to give his daughter rights.

Rather, the Bulgarian king thought that it would not be beneficial to his daughter if he gave him the right to do so.

However, since the Bulgarian princess returned from the Chinese Empire, with the growing strength of the Chinese Empire, the Bulgarian Kingdom has gradually been influenced by the Chinese Empire.

This made the princess of the Bulgarian kingdom, who was originally ordinary and worthless in the eyes of everyone, begin to become fragrant buns.

Because after the return of the princess of the Bulgarian Kingdom, the Bulgarian king thought that the Bulgarian Kingdom and the Chinese Empire should not have much intersection.

Therefore, the Bulgarian king gave the Bulgarian princess the right to communicate and diplomacy with the Chinese Empire.

This right to diplomacy with the Chinese Empire may seem like a good thing, but in fact it is not a right at all, because the Kingdom of Bulgaria in most cases initiated commercial exchanges by the Chinese Empire.

In other words, in this matter, the Chinese Empire occupies the initiative, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria has no initiative at all.

However, this is also normal, after all, there are no things and materials in the Kingdom of Bulgaria that the Chinese Empire needs.

For the Chinese Empire, the Kingdom of Bulgaria could be regarded as a poor country.

The war horses of the Bulgarian Kingdom were not as good as the war horses of the Chinese Empire, and even inferior to the hybrid war horses of the Chinese Empire.

And the grain in Bulgaria, the Chinese Empire doesn't care at all, the food in Bulgaria can't even satisfy its own people, and the quality of the grain is not very good, how could the Chinese Empire want it.

Generally speaking, it was the Bulgarian kingdom that bought grain from the Chinese Empire, and the Bulgarian kingdom grew some food and fruits needed by the middle and upper classes of the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese Empire was today the largest exporter of grain, and its grain spread throughout the Khazar Khanate, the Kingdom of Bulgaria, the Kingdom of Poland, the Kingdom of Great Moravia, Lizhou, Eastern Roman Byzantium, and the Arab Abbasids.

In addition, some countries in Western Europe also had grain from the Chinese Empire, but most of this grain was smuggled from the Kingdom of Poland and the Kingdom of Great Moravia.

It can be said that most of the food eaten by the people in the Kingdom of Bulgaria came from the Chinese Empire, and now most of the people who grow grain in the Kingdom of Bulgaria have begun to grow fruits and vegetables, or raise livestock.

But in the king's domain of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, the Bulgarian king still cultivated grain.

The Bulgarian king was not a fool, how could he possibly allow all his domestic grain to be imported from abroad?

Isn't this equivalent to pinching the whole life of the whole body into the hands of the Huaxia Empire!

The Bulgarian king could not tolerate such a thing, and that is why the Bulgarian king has issued many orders to grow grain.

But no one obeyed this order of the Bulgarian king, and the people themselves settled the accounts, and they did not have enough to eat several times a year when they grew their own food.

And to buy the grain of the Chinese Empire, these people can eat enough, and the money to buy the grain of the Chinese Empire is only equivalent to the income of their own grain cultivation that year.

However, the peasants of the Bulgarian Kingdom could not eat enough grain by themselves, and the grain of the Chinese Empire could be eaten by the peasants of the Chinese Empire with the same income.

In other words, it was much more cost-effective for Bulgarian peasants to buy grain from the Chinese Empire than to grow it themselves.

Because of this, the peasants of the Bulgarian kingdom began to grow fruits, vegetables and meat that the Chinese Empire needed.

It is also because today, the peasants of the Kingdom of Bulgaria buy 70% of the income from the fruits, vegetables and meat sold to the Chinese Empire every year.

The remaining thirty percent of the income was also spent on the purchase of things produced in the Chinese Empire.

It can be said that most of the economy of the Kingdom of Bulgaria was controlled by the Chinese Empire, and the lifeblood of the Kingdom of Bulgaria was also largely controlled by the Chinese Empire.

To put it bluntly, if the Chinese Empire stopped sending grain to the Kingdom of Bulgaria, then the Kingdom of Bulgaria would definitely starve many people to death.

Even if people do not starve to death, the fruits, vegetables and livestock grown by the peasants of the Kingdom of Bulgaria will not be salable, which will also kill the peasants of the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

It's just that for the road of cutting off grain and business, it is impossible for the Chinese Empire to take it under normal circumstances.

Even if the Chinese Empire wanted to conquer the Bulgarian Kingdom, the Chinese Empire would not take the road of running out of food, which would make the local people disgusted with the Chinese Empire and not conducive to the rule of the Chinese Empire.

Just like the Chinese Empire has been in border conflicts with the Kingdom of Bulgaria in recent years, but the Chinese Empire has never planned to run out of food.

But there is a contingency in everything, and the Bulgarian king is to prevent that contingency, so he continues to grow grain and store grain in the king's domain.

In fact, the grain transported by the Chinese Empire to the Bulgarian Kingdom was organized by the imperial court, and because of this, the Chinese Empire was careful about how much grain the Bulgarian Kingdom sold.

It's just that no matter how much the Chinese Empire calculates, the Chinese Empire will only sell more and not less.

It is precisely because of this that the Kingdom of Bulgaria still has a certain surplus of grain in the past two years.

In addition, the cloth of the Chinese Empire was also very popular in the Kingdom of Bulgaria.

It is a pity that these things were directly delegated by the Bulgarian king to the Bulgarian princess.

Except for the grain sold by the Chinese Empire to the people of the Kingdom of Bulgaria, other large-scale transactions were state-to-state.

This also makes the Bulgarian princess seem to have no rights, but in fact, there are many places where the Bulgarian princess can do her hands.

And the Bulgarian king naturally saw this, he believed that his daughter would not do anything, but he did not trust others, others might induce his daughter to do things, and even endanger the safety of the Bulgarian princess.

Therefore, the Bulgarian king appropriately gave the Bulgarian princess some rights, such as the Bulgarian king gave a county under his command to his daughter.

In addition to this, the Bulgarian king sent fifty men from his own personal guard to protect the Bulgarian princess.

It is precisely because the relationship between the Bulgarian princess and the Chinese Empire is good, after all, they are in constant contact, although the initiative is in the hands of the Chinese Empire.

The Bulgarian princess can be said to be the person who knows the Chinese Empire the most in the Bulgarian Kingdom, and since the Bulgarian princess last went to the Chinese Empire, she has become curious about Chinese culture.
