Xingchenmeng looked at the military camp stationed outside the Guanli Pass, although it is now a shopping mall, but there are only three places where this mountain can be passed from south to north, there is a sandy beach with a width of less than 100 meters on the northernmost seaside, and this fortress, and the southernmost part of the mountain has a natural stone bridge on the Grand Canyon in Tianyu Province, which is separated by thousands of miles, which is also the only important road for the east-west exchange, where there are three divisions and nearly 150,000 elite troops stationed all year round, and there are nearly one million troops stationed outside the gate for long-term defense, so the strategic position here is also very important。 Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xingchen Meng looked far away in the east of the city lord's mansion, but his heart had already flown to Estes, Saber and others, the multi-way army that had attacked the seven small countries and successfully conquered the city was met by more small countries to join the melee of the war, each legion surrounded one city after another and was counter-surrounded by more troops, circle after circle, some encirclements were still interconnected, the battle situation was very complicated, fortunately, the army was far ahead of those small countries in terms of equipment or military concepts, and those small countries only had a slight upper hand in the number of troops, and the Xingchen Empire army, which had just captured the three major countries, began to shrink extremely, although there were many new recruits to join, but it will take a long time to complete the screening, rectification, and training, so a large number of regular troops are left to garrison the new provinces and cities.

And it will take a long time for the additional troops recruited by the family to be trained, and now they can only prepare for the future and collect intelligence, so Xingchenmeng came here to collect intelligence from the outside world, but he was annoyed by many businessmen outside the gate.

In addition to accepting this place and collecting intelligence this time, Xingchenmeng also brought Icarus, Kaos, Scarlet Ju, Huangquan and others, firstly, for safety, although the merchants who came in here were allowed to enter the city after strict censorship, but who guaranteed that there were no assassins outside the gate here, and at the same time, all the existing Moad Warrior Guards and Soaring Wings Knights were mobilized here to increase the security protection tasks during this period.

"Your Highness Xingchen, when will trade resume, the old man has been waiting here for more than a month?" an old merchant asked anxiously, and many of the always gorgeous rich businessmen behind him had anxious expressions.

Xingchenmeng shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know, now that the road conditions in the country have begun to be restored, it will probably take half a month anyway, and because of safety issues, the items here will be taken and sold by the empire in the future." ”

"What?" many businessmen were taken aback when they heard this, because it means that their interests may shrink, and each businessman has his own way to obtain the highest benefits at the lowest price, but if one party takes the intervention of the state and uniformly divides the price, then whether it is the cost of collecting will be increased, and even the cost of selling will be suppressed and reduced, and everyone's face is very ugly.

An eleven or twelve-year-old girl in yellow, with a delicate and petite figure, her innocent and sweet face was close to Xingchenmeng's face, pitiful, "It really can't be like this, otherwise how can we businessmen live, everyone eats this bowl of rice, little brother, you can ask the emperors, can you be accommodating." ”

Xingchen looked at the girl who was selling sympathy to his poor baba dumbfounded, Ben Lian choked on the words he had thought of, he didn't expect these merchants to make a beauty trick, but he felt the bursts of murderous aura behind him, Huang Quan, who was already on the verge of blackening, bowed to the two of them, and was drenched in cold sweat behind them, and then said seriously, "Are you coercing me?"

The girl who was still selling sympathy suddenly weakened her legs, if she was charged with such a crime, then she would definitely not live for a few days, and the best end would be a slave, and she didn't know the sad end of being a plaything for that powerful person in the future, and quickly explained in horror, "No, I'm not like this, please forgive me, you also know that I don't mean so." ”

Before he finished speaking, he was already about to cry, and from time to time he looked at the rich and noble people behind him, with a look of asking for help, and all the nobles present also changed their faces greatly, and at this time Xingchenmeng also knew that this little girl must have been instructed by those behind him.

An old nobleman walked up and hurriedly pleaded, "Your Highness, I hope you don't misunderstand, Luo'er doesn't mean that, but if you implement the policy you just said, it will harm the interests of most of us, so Luo'er is in a hurry, that's it, I hope Your Highness won't pursue it, or let Luo'er accompany you for one night." ”

Originally, the first half of the old nobleman's words made his face look a little better, and he didn't pursue it when he looked at such a poor girl, but the latter sentence almost killed him, and the Huangquan behind him, Scarlet Ju has been completely blackened, if this matter is not handled well, then his fate is much bleaker than this girl.

The old nobleman thought that his suggestion was very good, and any nobleman would accept it with humility, but he didn't expect that when his last sentence fell, he found that the face of the little highness opposite directly turned iron-blue, and in a corner next to him, two of the six girls emitted a burst of murderous aura, and even the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees, this is how he understood what was going on, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it too late, and hurriedly explained" Of course it's just a joke, we're all serious businessmen, so how about we pay double the tax in exchange for the same free trade as before?"

Xingchen darkened his face and said indignantly, "Can you stop joking like this, your seven-year-old child can be a person, what to eat to grow up" But he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the murderous aura in the corner of the wall slowly weakened, and the temperature in the room also rose significantly.

Then continued" I know that your trading profit margin is large, and we do this for you, just a small thing, to tell you the truth, this civil uprising, led to the death of a lot of merchants, so most of them are in a leaderless situation, our alliance in order to solve this situation, so we do this, otherwise who knows when trade can resume, this is also for everyone's good, this is also conducive to our management, reduce the source of tax evasion, at the same time, in the future, all tax evasion business, I will be in a hundred times the tax evasion fine, so we must consciously abide by, after a period of time there will be a special person to manage。 ”
