The overseas businessmen in the south of Tianzhu were not short of funds, labor, or materials, and the construction team from Liuqiu Island had rich work experience, so the new business district of Marbury was built quickly...... If nothing else, in a few more months, they will be able to complete their primary goal.

Hurry up and move out of the cramped and dirty streets, which will be our business district!

But there was an accident, although it was not caused by the maritime merchants, but it had something to do with them.

The wealth of the Marbury Kingdom made the surrounding hostile forces red-eyed.

They had heard that the annual commercial tax collected here was more than the sum of several years in their country...... I've heard that this is a wasteland that no one wants, and it can be sold for an unheard-of price!

Why should we be poor and you become rich?!

Why is it that our wasteland is everywhere, why doesn't anyone come and buy it?

Why...... Why!

In this way, three nations and one princely state were united, and they found several reasons that were not justifications for the king of Marbury and began to make trouble.

It is said that the tax revenue of Port Marbury will be shared first, and then a horse festival will be held.

The horse festival is a symbol of land possession in the southern region of Tianzhu.

One side will send a horse out and let it go, and wherever it goes, even if the other party has regained possession of the territory.

If anyone challenges this, they will have to fight the samurai who follow the horse.

When the horse returns to its original place, the horse is sacrificed and sacrificed.

This means that the occupation of the territory has been approved by God.

King Marbury is illiterate and doesn't know directions, but he's not stupid, why should he hold a horse sacrifice after so many years?!

Of course he didn't do it, the two sides couldn't talk about it at all, and they both made a move to fight and talk about it.

Qian Song was a little anxious...... What the fuck is going on?!

Business development is most afraid of war!

Now the local industry and commerce are just booming, and various industrial and commercial guilds are just flourishing.

At this time, there were many commodities in the market of Marbury, including minerals, agricultural products, and many handicrafts.

For example, black pottery from the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges, textiles and sandalwood from the city of Gandhara, woolen carpets from Gandhara, ivory from the foothills of the Himalayas, copper plates from Gyozala, and horses from the northwest, these important commodities need to be transported not only by sea but also by land.

More importantly, Qian Song is also calculating how to expand the market to the middle and low-level people...... Some Tianzhu people have some spare money in their hands.

But the war will ruin all this, and if King Marbury wins, it's okay to say, what if he loses? Everything from scratch?

This is not a no-no...... Qian Song then arranged for his subordinates who had expanded their operations point-to-point to go to various countries for mediation.

He has this need, and he has this self-confidence.

In the southern region of Tianzhu, the highest caste is the Brahmin, the second is the Kshatriya, the third is the Vaishyas, and the fourth is the Shutara...... The cheapest ones don't even have grades and names, and it will make people dirty when they look at them.

Brahmins are primarily engaged in teaching others to learn and conduct sacrifices.

They can perform sacrifices, give gifts, and receive gifts.

Among them, teaching, performing sacrifices for people, and receiving gifts are livelihoods, and learning sacrifices and giving gifts are obligations.

Kshatriyas and Vaishyas also had the obligation to study, make sacrifices, and give gifts, but the means of earning a living varied.

The Kshatriyas use weapons, i.e., force.

Vaishyas have the widest range of livelihoods and are engaged in commerce, animal husbandry, agriculture and other handicrafts.

And the only activity of the Shudra is to obey the first three varnas, to serve them.

In the face of adversity in life, i.e. when a member of a caste rank is not able to earn a living in a prescribed trade, he may also engage in a lower trade.

For example, the Qian Song employed a lot of Kshatriya castes as janitors.

Of course, there are counterattacks in life.

Shudras could also engage in handicrafts, i.e., enter the trade of Vaishyas, who are higher than them.

For example, among the people employed by the Qian Song, there were several people from the Shudra caste who were promoted to official positions by the Qian Song because of their strong learning ability and serious work, and they did not have to engage in manual work...... In the eyes of the Vaishyas caste, this is the same as them.

From the pure mental work of the Brahmins to the pure physical labor of the Shudras constitutes a ladder of hierarchy and also from the purest to the dirtiest.

In fact, there are filthy and miserable untouchables at the bottom of this ladder, and there is no need to say much about those people.

The Great Song and the Streamers were considered to be Vaishyas in their minds, but they were higher than Vaishyas...... The reason is that, in addition to being wealthy, their skin is lighter than that of the locals, and they are almost always tall.

As mentioned earlier, in this time and space, in addition to the black people in East Africa who are naturally tall, the height of the Great Song people can kill other races in seconds.

Locals revere light-skinned, tall ...... Of course, much richer than them.

Therefore, Qian Song must use all his strength to stop the war!

However, Hu Zhennan, the general manager of the New Oriental Security Company, who had just arrived here, didn't care.

He said to Qian Song, "Let them fight a dozen...... The three small kingdoms plus one princely state had a total army of only three thousand five hundred men, and it was said that there were more than three hundred warriors; There were 3,000 men and more than 100 warriors in the country of Marbury...... But their samurai, in my opinion, are not as good as the level of the splashy and broken houses on the streets of the Great Song Dynasty, and they dance like they are dancing! ”

Qian Song said worriedly: "I heard that the other side has more elephant soldiers than here......

"What's the use of that? I don't have to shoot at all...... A few grenades are thrown over, and they can all be stunned! ”

Qian Song said worriedly: "...... You can't just look at these few, other countries are also eyeing ......."

General Manager Hu Zhennan was speechless for a while, he was annoyed in his heart, damn, what kind of place is this, how can there be so many countries and states?!

He swallowed and said, "Don't wait until it's completely built...... Let's get all the merchants to move into the new business district at once, and I'll set up the defenses first! ”

I thought I had found a good job that was easy and profitable, but who would have thought that it would become a situation of participating in battle!

Hu Zhennan, the general manager, is not afraid of the birdmen in this place, but how did he know that after taking over this job, he would actually use the method of fighting to protect other businessmen...... Added responsibility and trouble to yourself in vain!

Qian Song immediately agreed to this suggestion, and asked him if he had informed the Imperial Navy.

Hu Zhennan, the general manager, sighed: "How can you not notify quickly...... I sent people to Hormuz Island, Happiness Island, and the naval base in the port of Lion City in Shilan...... The empire is with us! ”

Qian Song also immediately followed: "The empire is with us!" ”

After shouting, he felt better.

After hearing Qian Song's suggestion, overseas businessmen did not need him to do any ideological work, and quickly brought their families and moved to the new business district along with the commercial goods...... Let's move first, and then get the finishing touches.

Hu Zhennan, the general manager, led more than 100 of his team members and commanded the laborers sent by the king of Marbury, first laid out a simple wooden fence on the periphery of the new business district, and then used sacks to build a second line of defense.
