The businessmen regretted it and scolded one after another, but at the same time tried their best to remedy it and went to the Ministry of Commerce to purchase it aggressively.

The most injured should be Dashengguo.

Originally, merchants from all over the world poured into Cangguo, as the only way to pass through the country, there were more merchants in it, and the people along the way were also greatly facilitated, and many villages began to use inns as their business.

Seeing that Cangguo is a small country and makes such a lot of money, the nobles of Dasheng are red-eyed, so they jointly wrote to the emperor of Dasheng State, asking for the establishment of checkpoints on the business route and charging fees.

At the same time, the nobles themselves began to build small workshops and started a business of copying books, selling them to caravans along the way.

In a short period of time, although it is not as profitable as Dacangguo, it can be regarded as a small profit.

But unexpectedly, Cangguo sacrificed a killing weapon.

Book price reduction!

This news is undoubtedly a catastrophe for many book-copying workshops in Dasheng Kingdom.

When one caravan came to the door to refund the money, the hearts of the nobles were dripping blood.

No nobles dare to repay their debts, because they don't dare to offend the merchants too much, no one will be stupid enough to think that these merchants are commoners, and among the major vassal states, those who can form a scale are all without exception with a strong official background, and even some of the caravans are directly ordered by the royal families of various countries.

The caravan is also an invisible political force!

Of course, there are also some book copying workshops that are unwilling, thinking that such a low price in Cangguo will definitely not last long, just to suppress them to reduce the price for a short time, so they have adopted a delaying strategy, and also made a guarantee and bet on compensation.

However, he was immediately slapped in the face by reality, and for about ten days in a row, the "Fable Story" of the Ministry of Commerce of Cangguo was a big hit, and the sales volume of the big white paper reached an all-time peak!

The nobles of the Dasheng Kingdom could not sit still, and after losing a large sum of money, they began to seek revenge.

The means of retaliation are also very simple, that is, the tolls at the major checkpoints are increased, and each caravan has to pay a large amount of silver in order to go back and forth smoothly.

For a time, the caravans of various countries complained.

Many merchants, directly united, sent a letter to the emperor of the Dasheng Kingdom, demanding that this decree be abolished.

However, from the emperor of the Dasheng Kingdom to the princes and ministers, no one took it seriously.

The reason is also very simple, thinking inertia.

After all, more than half of the territory of Cangguo is now Zheng Guo in the past, and they have been using silver money to make connections for many years, and they have become accustomed to the low voice of Zheng Guoren.

Now, Cangguo has annexed Zheng Guo, so of course, there should also be a little brother, pay tribute to Dasheng State, and accept this unfair treatment.

As for the interests of the merchants...... Hehe, don't pass through Dasheng Country if you have the ability!

What about ruining your reputation, what about being spurned by the caravan, it's just a big deal to lose some money, can you still let the armies of all countries unite and attack the Great Sheng Kingdom?

These nobles have nothing to fear.

However, in the end, they still underestimated the attractiveness of Cangguo's goods to merchants, and also underestimated the influence of the major caravans.

In less than half a month, the envoys of various countries all gathered in Dasheng Kingdom, and the condemnation documents flew to the desk of the Emperor of Dasheng Kingdom like blood flowers.

In desperation, the nobles of the Dasheng Kingdom had no choice but to restrain slightly and withdraw the checkpoint.

The nobles who have suffered heavy losses can be said to hate Cangguo to the core.

Originally, the monarchs and ministers of the Dasheng Kingdom were very unhappy with the attitude of the Cangguo not being a minister and not paying tribute, but after this incident, the diplomatic relations between the two countries deteriorated suddenly.

Until the beginning of March, the patrol guards of Cangguo found suspicious people near the industrial park, sneaky.

Who is it that dares to wander around the edge of the industrial park at night?

You must know that since the establishment of this industrial park, it has been strictly guarded, and its garrison strength is comparable to that of the imperial palace.

This group of people is sneaky, and at first glance they are not serious people.

Jin Yiwei laid a net, captured several of them, and finally got some things out under some torture.

As expected, it has something to do with Dasheng Country!

Immediately, Jin Yiwei reported the news to Yang Mu.

"Can't wait?" Yang Mu muttered lightly, pacing in the hall, and the husband was innocent of his guilt, which is an eternal truth.

In the eyes of Dashengguo, Cangguo is a little guy who can be kneaded, and when he had no value before, he naturally went away, but now that he has huge benefits, it is worth their shot.

Pai Xizuo infiltrated the industrial park, just to investigate in advance to see if he could steal the technology.

If it succeeds, naturally there is no need to be too troublesome, Cangguo is still that small country, so there is nothing to worry about.

If it doesn't work, fight again!

Yang Mu looked at the map stained on the wall and sneered in his heart.

Compared to Dasheng Kingdom, Cangguo's territory is indeed much smaller, and it looks like a little guy who is forced into a corner.

Dasheng is indeed more prosperous than Cangguo, and its national strength is indeed stronger.

But what does this mean?

Dasheng country, can it guarantee that the Cangguo will be destroyed in World War I?

If not, as long as Cangguo has time to breathe, sooner or later it will be able to compete with Dasheng Kingdom!

"It seems that there will be a battle between Dasheng and Cangguo!"

Yang Mu sighed, a little helpless, in fact, he didn't want to fight much, especially in the past few years, Cangguo will be in a period of rapid development, it can be said that it is changing with each passing day, and in time, it will definitely be able to develop into a big country with limited territory.

However, in such a world where great strife has just begun, when a country becomes strong, it will inevitably harm the interests of other countries, or in other words, provoke the covetousness of other countries, and the road to development will not be smooth sailing.

Even if it is Dasheng and Cangguo, these two countries are not thinking of annexing each other, but under the collision of huge interests and contradictions, a war is inevitable.

……

March 16, Dacang Palace.

A grand reward was held in the court.

Award people according to their contributions!

The clarion call of the battle of Zheng is especially in his ears, Yang Mu has just recovered from a serious illness, and after sorting out many domestic matters, he finally started a largest-scale reward in the history of Cangguo!

Compared with the reward after the last time he rushed to aid Shenguo, this time it is more than one level higher in terms of scale and attention.

The four major legions all participated in the battle, plus several rebel armies attached to the front and back, the total number of people reached more than 80,000!

Among these people, basically all of the 20,000 soldiers of the four major legions have military merits, and more than 30,000 of the rebels have received military merits and rewards.

After the huge reward, there were more than 20,000 people in Cangguo at once, and the generals at the level of thousands of generals basically became earls, Wei Zhongquan became a three-star marquis, and the generals of the other three major legions also won the title of five-star earl.

On the same day, the "Dacang Times" published a special issue for this purpose, and every general who won the rank of earl was on the list, and vigorously promoted and praised the Northern Expedition.

Those merchants from all over the world in the imperial city were simply stunned.

Is this country crazy?

The title is given as if it were not for money, is this to reward all the money earned in the past few months to those vulgar soldiers who have fought in war?

In fact, they guessed correctly, after this reward, the silver rewarded by Yang Mu reached more than two million taels, plus the pension, the treasury was suddenly three million taels of silver.

Just when the people were boiling and amazed, the Ministry of War issued a conscription order!

Conscription!

Conscription again!

Suddenly, the people were amazed, followed by jubilation.

And those who have a heart begin to feel that something is wrong.
