Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning - Chapter 1394
, !
The Liangzhou nobility, who were still waiting for Cao Jie to build a soap workshop and a steam engine workshop for Liangzhou, also learned that Yecheng was preparing to build a railway and a steam train.
This can be regarded as mixed news for the nobles in Liangzhou.
The happy side is that after the railway is built to Liangzhou in the future, the connection between Liangzhou and Dawei can become closer through steam trains.
The worrying side is naturally that Emperor Tiangao will be a thing of the past in the near future, and the Great Wei court can greatly strengthen the control of Liangzhou through the railway.
However, these are things that the Liangzhou nobility cannot interfere with. Even if they know how powerful it is, the Liangzhou nobility can only choose the side that is more beneficial to themselves.
Of course, the most important thing now is to build a steam engine workshop and a soap workshop first, and then make money.
While the Liangzhou nobles were looking forward to Cao Jie, a foreign caravan was heading to the border of Liangzhou.
The leader of this caravan came from the Kushan Empire.
Most of the goods carried in the caravan were some precious fur and ivory products, as well as a group of Dawan horses, that is, sweaty horses.
Willie Tatur, the leader of the caravan, is fiddling with the map in his hand.
This map is an heirloom of Willy Tatur.
There was a period of frequent trade between the Great Han and the Kushan Empire, and the Silk Road also developed and prospered during this period.
However, due to the wars during the Three Kingdoms period and the decline of the Kushuang Empire’s own control over the neighboring countries, the Silk Road has gradually declined since then.
It was not until the Guishuang Empire, under the leadership of Vesudeva I, that it became brilliant again, and after the Great Wei ruled the world, the Silk Road, which had been in decline, gradually regained some vitality.
However, there are still very few merchants from the Kushan Empire to Dawei for trade.
Because crossing the Silk Road at this time is also a very risky thing.
Although high risk usually means high profit, because the Kushan Empire itself is strong again, doing business in the territory can also be richly rewarded.
As for the merchants in Liangzhou and Yongzhou and other places, because Youzhou and Xianbei conduct mutual markets, there are not many merchants who choose to travel thousands of miles to the Guishuang Empire for trade.
The reason why Willy Tatur took a great risk and went to Dawei for trade is mainly because he is now a wanted criminal in the Kushan Empire.
Because his family supported Dawan’s rebellion against your empire before, and gained a lot of benefits from it.
After Vesudeva I defeated the Dawan rebellion, the Tatur family was naturally not spared, and was liquidated by Vesudeva I.
Willie Tatur’s father, Old Willie, used half of his estate to bribe the officials of Vesudeva I at the last minute, which enabled Willie Tatur to escape the Kushan Empire with the remaining half of his estate .
Willie Tatur, who left the Kushan Empire, originally planned to go to the Parth Empire in order to make a comeback.
It’s a pity that good luck made people, and he who accidentally exposed his whereabouts could only choose to go to Dawei.
Fortunately, the Tatur family had done business with Dawei through the Silk Road before, and there was a map at home.
“It should be the city of Great Wei ahead. According to the map, we have arrived in Liangzhou.”
Willie Tatour said to the old housekeeper.
“Master, let’s go quickly and try to enter the city before dark.”
Then the group set off again and marched towards Liangzhou City.
The guards at the gate of Liangzhou City felt a little curious when they saw Willie Tatur and his party.
After all, because of the desertion of the Silk Road, it has been almost a year that no merchants from the Kushuang Empire have come.
After arriving at the city gate, among the more than 20 people in Willie Tatur’s line, only the old butler who had followed Old Willie to Dawei to do business could speak the official language of Dawei.
“Hello, this person in charge, we are the caravan of the Tatur family, this is Master Willie Tatur.”
“We have brought some precious commodities to trade this time.”
The old housekeeper said to the guards in Liangzhou City.
After the guard heard the words, after checking the goods carried by Willie Tartu, they did not find any crossbows and armors, so they let them enter Liangzhou City.
Finally, Willie Tatur, his wife and children, and the rest of the Tatur family felt a long-lost sense of security in Liangzhou City.
The road to Dawei was not uneventful, and just dealing with the robber Willi Tatur lost one-fifth of the goods.
“Master, let’s find a place to rest first, and then make follow-up arrangements.”
The old butler suggested to Willie Tatour at this time.
This is the first time Willie Tatur has come to Dawei and Liangzhou City, so he naturally accepts the advice of the old housekeeper with humility.
“Okay, let’s arrange it like that!”
According to the impression in his memory, the old butler took Willie Tatur and his party to the inn.
However, Liangzhou City has changed a lot in recent years. It is more prosperous than when the old housekeeper came, and the entire Liangzhou City is much larger than before.
After some inquiry and negotiation, Willie Tatur and his party finally checked into an inn.
After settling down his family and entourage, Willie Tatour found the old housekeeper and hoped that he would take him to Liangzhou City to get acquainted with the environment.
In the next few years, Willie Tatour thinks he may be living in Dawei.
If he wants to return to the Kushuang Empire, his current strength and capital are far from enough.
Although the old housekeeper was exhausted, he knew the anxiety and worry in Willie Tatour’s heart.
“Okay young master, let’s go. UU reading www.uukanshu.com”
“However, Liangzhou City has changed a lot over the years, and I’m not very familiar with it.”
After the old butler finished speaking, he and Willie Tatour left the inn and went to the street.
After coming to the street, Willie Tatur and the old housekeeper, who were both blond and blue-eyed, naturally became the outliers in the crowd.
Some older people in Liangzhou knew that this was a person from the Kushan Empire.
The children looked at Willie Tatour and the old housekeeper very curiously.
“Dad, why are those two people with yellow hair? And their eyes are blue!”
“It’s so strange, are they from Xianbei?”
A little boy asked his father, his eyes stayed on Willie Tatour and the old housekeeper who were not far away.
“They are not from Xianbei, they should be from the Kushuang Empire or the Parth Empire… I haven’t seen any businessman there for many years…”
The little boy’s father heard the words and was also a little curious.
