"Liu Kelangjun, how are you researching?" Ah Shilu looked at the craftsman in front of him and asked.

"No problem, we can mint it, and if we add some ingredients, we will not be able to detect the purity of these silver and gold coins by about 5%, which is not very profitable compared to the minting cost, but it is worth the sale." Liu Ke said.

He is just a craftsman, and he only puts forward his own opinions according to his profession, and it is not his turn to make decisions about how to do it.

For example, Sassanid Persia mainly used silver coins, and there was not much silver that was not minted into silver coins, while their gold was purely smelted gold bars.

The purity of Persian gold coins is about 96% according to the calculations of these craftsmen, which is slightly lower than the gold bars in their hands.

However, they are not going to ask for gold for the time being, so the purity of the gold coin naturally does not matter, but the purity of their silver coin is a little low, so if this silver coin is imitated, it is also possible.

"Ah Shilu, the latest news, His Highness has arrived at the Ring Sun Dynasty." In this small city near Sassanid Persia in the territory of the country of Kamowibo, a man quickly rushed into the courtyard and reported.

"Great! Send a ship to His Excellency Wang Zheng to meet His Highness, explain the situation here to His Highness, and ask us about our next move. Ashilu asked.

"Yes!"

Their small city is also a port city, but it is not on a trade lane, and the port is not large.

It's not far from the Baling Peninsula, and it only takes about five days to meet His Highness by boat.

Li Ke didn't know much about Ashilu's location, and the original plan Li Ke gave him was to carry out the exchange plan inland, that is, the small cities on the border between Western Turk and Sassanid Persia, so that he could sit in Ashilu's position.

Communication in this era is almost impossible, but Ashilu has 10,000 elite cavalry, and in the case of Sassanid Persia's internal and external difficulties, and the Western Turks are also in various tribes' internal strife, this 10,000-strong elite cavalry is absolutely the largest force at present.

No one can shake it.

What's more, no one knows how many cavalry Ashilu actually has.

When he saw Wang Zheng, Li Ke was also a little surprised, although he also asked people to inform A Shilu, but in Li Ke's opinion, it would take at least twenty days to be able to contact A Shilu, who knew that Wang Zheng would come over so soon, according to this time.

"You're in a city by the sea?" Li Ke was a little stunned.

"Yes, Your Highness, we were in the border cities of Western Turkism and Sassanid Persia at the beginning, as Your Highness said, but the current domestic situation in Sassanid Persia is complicated, and many rich people dare not trade in this place, especially land transportation is more dangerous, so we began to move towards the sea." Wang Zheng took out the map and introduced it to Li Ke.

"We found that this area, so to speak, is not controlled by the state, and it is all small tribes, and as we advance, these small tribes directly belong to us after seeing us, until we advance to the upper reaches of the mouth of the bay of this river."

"Originally, this is a small country with a small lord, but after seeing our army, the other party thought that we were Western Turks, so they decided to retreat and rule across the river from us, and we are currently trading with Persian merchants in this port city."

Wang Zheng said as he introduced the general situation to Li Ke.

Listening to Wang Zheng's words, Li Ke was speechless.

This Nima ...... Although I know that the third brother is in various places that are rotten, after all, Wang Xuance can destroy the country with a thousand soldiers, and the strength here can be imagined, but this is too rotten.

What does Wang Zheng mean by that? Persian territory aside, the later Afghanistan region is now stateless, almost all of them exist in the form of tribes, and these places are also nomadic and sparsely populated in this era because of the barren land.

When they came over with a large army, these tribes naturally belonged directly without any hesitation, which is the norm for most steppe peoples, which is one of the reasons why the territory of the Western Turks is so vast.

More importantly, they continued to go south, that is, there was a small country of faith in Pakistan in later generations, to be precise, this small country was the original big nobleman of the Gama Wibo country, but the current ruling class of the Gama Wibo country almost existed in name only, so this big nobleman basically established a country by himself.

Then when Ah Shilu and the others came, they didn't even fight, and directly drew half of the territory to Ah Shilu and them, because Ah Shilu's purpose was not to fight, so they simply accepted these places.

And the river that ruled across the river in Wang Zhengzui was the Indus River in later generations, that is, the largest river in Pakistan.

At present, the land on the west bank of this river belongs to Ashilu, and the amount is ...... Nominally Western Turkic, in fact...... It's Datang's.

Li Ke is stupid, although he knows that the Western Turks and the third brother are all rotten during this time period, but this is also too bad, just like a joke.

It's no wonder that the Anxi Protectorate in later generations was able to control such a large area, and the people here didn't want to fight at all.

Looking at Wang Zheng on the map, enclosing most of Afghanistan and half of Pakistan in the future, which is currently the territory under their control, Li Ke was a little speechless.

Is your map going to be updated again?

"Your Highness, should we return these lands?" Wang Zheng was a little entangled, mainly because he felt that these places were picked up for nothing.

"Why should you return what you got with your strength?" Li Ke rolled his eyes a little speechlessly.

"But although we nominally own this place, in fact, our control over this place is very weak, these places, we take them, but it will distract Your Highness's energy, those people are not familiar with it." Wang Zheng looked at His Highness and said, "Unless you put in a lot of energy, but these people always feel that they are not worthy of your energy, Your Highness." ”

Li Ke pondered for a while, to be honest, this situation was a bit unexpected by Li Ke, but the problem was not big, it was still within his control, mainly because it was only 10,000 elite cavalry, and as long as there was food, he could afford it.

Next to it is an important grain producing area, there is no shortage of food, with the current sea transport force, it is not a problem to feed more than 10,000 elite soldiers.

"That is, externally, this place is currently Western Turkic?" Li Ke looked at the large area and asked.

"Yes." Wang Zheng nodded.
