……

The central steppes of Eurasia, the northeastern steppes of the Chinese Empire, the weather is bitterly cold, but here there is a nomadic army that seems to be sending something to each other.

Although it is now spring and the weather is gradually improving, it is still very cold in the grasslands of the northeast.

In fact, it's not just the grasslands of the northeast that are cold, but much of the Chinese Empire is also cold.

For example, Wanzhou and Luozhou in the Chinese Empire, as well as the newly conquered northern regions, the climate in these regions is a little warmer than in winter.

But the people of the Chinese Empire didn't feel how cold they were because they had sweaters, honeycomb coals, and warm kangs.

Except for the feeling of a cold wind lapping on your cheeks when you go out, you don't really feel the cold.

However, the nomadic khanates on the steppes were different, although the nomadic khanates on the steppes also had certain means of keeping out the cold.

But compared to the warm sweaters and velvet jackets of the Chinese Empire, it is absolutely inferior.

But it is a pity that the warm clothing of the Chinese Empire has always been only exported to the high-level of other countries, and the price is very expensive.

And this is still in short supply, especially in the nomadic khanates and the Holy Roman Empire in the West, which are in great need of this kind of clothing to protect against the cold.

Therefore, it was impossible for the people of other countries to wear the warm clothes of the Chinese Empire, and some nobles could not wear them either.

But some people have thought of a way, and this way is to take the risk of smuggling the clothes of the Chinese Empire.

They bought the civilian sweaters of the common people of the Chinese Empire and sold them at high prices to the middle nobles of other countries.

It seems that these people are smugglers, but everyone who understands knows that behind these people is probably Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire.

After all, what kind of international is the Chinese Empire, and the high-level leaders of other countries almost know what kind of person the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire is.

Gao Yang Yajun is a person who likes money very much! How could Gao Yang Yajun, this kind of money-making work, let others interfere.

Especially this is still a smuggling job, you must know that Gaoyang Yajun's inner mansion is very rich, it can be said that half of the money of the Chinese Empire is in Gaoyang Yajun's inner mansion.

Of course, this is not to say that the treasury of the Chinese Empire is not rich, in fact, the treasury of the Chinese Empire is also very rich.

But most of this money was commercial taxes and customs duties, and the agricultural taxes of the Chinese Empire were still tax-free.

But even if the Chinese Empire did not have agricultural taxes, the annual income of the Chinese Empire was almost exhausted.

This is not an exaggeration, but a fact, in fact, the Chinese Empire's annual tax revenue is only a third of the year's maximum.

Therefore, the officials of the Chinese Empire discovered the value of the commercial tax, and the agricultural tax could not reach half of the commercial tax according to the calculations of the Chinese Empire.

Not even one-third, so the Chinese Empire is now gradually proposing whether to reduce or reduce agricultural taxes, or directly not to collect agricultural taxes.

But this proposal was rejected by Gao Yang Yajun, who believed that now was not the time to cancel the agricultural tax.

Unless the agricultural tax can be replaced by a real commercial tax, Gao Yang Yajun will cancel it.

Instead of abolishing the agricultural tax, this is so that in case something happens to the Chinese Empire in the future, the Chinese Empire can also use the agricultural tax to collect taxes.

And now the Chinese Empire is exempting agricultural taxes for one year at every turn, this is for the sake of rule, but also because there is really no need to collect it.

Because the Chinese Empire is really not short of the little money for agricultural taxes now.

Nowadays, the bulk of the tax revenue of the Chinese Empire is the export of grain and clothing, finished clothing, and the Chinese Empire has never exported any raw materials.

All of them are finished exports, because only in this way can the Chinese Empire monopolize part of the world's economy for a long time.

Even control a part of the country through food, so that they can become their filial sons.

The Cuman Khanate was now at war with the Chinese Empire, but now with the arrival of spring, the Chinese Empire has finally delivered food to their country.

The Cuman Khanate froze and starved to death many people this winter, and why, because even they themselves did not want to live in this cold northeast.

In general, the Cuman Khanate spent the winter in the south all year round, near the Chinese Empire and the Khazar Khanate.

But now, their relatively warm winter region has long been seized by the Chinese Empire and the Khazar Khanate.

They had to huddle here, cursing the Khazar Khanate behind their backs and sending protons to the Khazar Khanate.

This, of course, was not the will of the Cuman Khanate itself, but was demanded by the khan of the Khazar Khanate, Ashina Zechariah.

Ashina Zechariah originally hoped to bully the Cuman Khanate, but he read some Chinese classics.

Ashina Zachariah had a whim, and he planned to bring the heir of the Cuman Khanate to be cultivated by the people in the country.

Then in the future, a pro-Khanate heir to the Cumen Khanate will be raised, and when the time comes, the heir of the Cuman Khanate will certainly ask for submission to the Khazar Khanate.

When Khan Ashina Zechariah thought of this, he was really a little excited in his heart.

It can be said that after the strong rise of the Chinese Empire, the culture of the countries of Europa, not only influenced the Chinese Empire.

The culture of the Chinese Empire also influenced them.

Nowadays, whether it is the top of the Holy Roman Empire, the top of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, or even the top of the Khazar Khanate, their clothes are as good as those of the Chinese Empire.

Because neither the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, nor the Holy Roman Empire, nor even the Khazar Khanate, they were reluctant to recognize their barbarism.

The Confucian brainwashing ability of the Chinese Empire, especially the Kingdom of Poland, was very powerful, and they brainwashed the rulers of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Khazar Khanate.

The emperors of these countries considered themselves to be superior, so they did not want to be called barbarians, so they were very fond of the cumbersome etiquette of the Chinese Empire.

In fact, this etiquette is also used by some nobles in the middle and upper classes, and the Chinese Empire actually does not have so many etiquette.

These rituals were found by Polish Confucian scholars from ancient texts and given by Amway to leaders in other countries.

Now even the people of the Cuman Khanate are dressed in the clothes of the Chinese Empire, which of course they did not buy.

Rather, they are willing to become filial sons of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire gives them the clothes of filial piety.

To put it bluntly, it can also be understood as the assistance of the Chinese Empire to them.

But in any case, since the Cuman Khanate has become the son of the Chinese Empire, it has also said that it will become a filial son.

Then the Chinese Empire, as a father, should also encourage his son to smash, so that he can be a son with peace of mind.

Therefore, while the Chinese Empire provided food, it also sent some Confucian students from the Kingdom of Poland.

The reason why this group of Confucian students trusted the Huaxia Empire was because they had a vision of Great China in their hearts.
