Send away the rich merchants. The seven sisters "reconcile".

Skyrim Yurenya, with a profound meaning: "What a good deacon Mes."

Raven Pontoporia also woke up: "What Mess wants is not only Kerigodai, but the city of incense selling."

Lead Curtain Patleia nodded gently: "The Nile River opens to the Red Sea, and the incense trader's road is also what Mess wants."

The reason for avoiding the New Tulazhen Avenue is that the tariffs are too high. This shortcut to sell incense is the Kerigord Incense Alliance, a smuggling path. You only need to hire a convoy from the Egyptian province, cross the Tumirat River Valley, and moor in the Great Brutal Lake to smuggle merchant ships, and then you can follow the Red Sea and quietly arrive in Kerigord.

Save high tariffs.

Obviously, this shortcut connecting the Nile River to the Red Sea is firmly held in the hands of the incense trade alliance of Kerigodai. Only a few people know it. But they don’t know where Deacon Mess heard it from. The prophet’s tears have accumulated, and they also know the incense trader’s way of smuggling incense trade. But Mess has unique features. It should not be underestimated.

"That's it." Yang Current La Omediya couldn't help but sigh: "Previously, the Lord of the Group of Lions made an appointment with the hostess. The day when the Qutong was connected was the time when the Women's Kingdom returned east. Deacon Mes did exactly what the Lord of the Group of Lions wanted."

It is understandable to eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king. Deacon Mess is nothing wrong. The question is, how to deal with the seven sisters.

Reef Aktaiya couldn't help but frown and asked: "How about you and my sister?"

Far from the perspective of Pronoya, the word "The road is open and not the channel passes through." The implication is that it is impossible to open up the shortcuts of smuggling, which is the same as digging through the Tumilat dry channel. Deacon Messe's move is at best, but it is just to throw a stone to ask for directions.

The seven sisters made a plan.

There is no need to do it yourself. Just send a letter out of the city, and a messenger will rush to Dura Europs, pass through Seleucia, Piriya, enter the Mediterranean, and raft the island of Chios.

In fact, the messenger's trip was just a routine matter.

There is enough inventory in the residence in the port of Aila. As mentioned earlier, the tears of gods have accumulated over a hundred years, which is much more than a few hundred ships. However, the whole set of plays, especially the date of round trips, must be correct. It is not impossible to make the rich merchants suspicious.

It is true that the fake trader's tears make a profit. The seven sisters transformed into "Magnolia pioneers". Thistle-style machine boat, hustle and sail, and drive the two-way drives. They ride the wind and waves, and three thousand miles day and night. They are far from the previous Corandia sailboat, which is comparable.

So in the anxious waiting of the Incense Sales Alliance, the price of Chios was sold in the port of Kerigorde, and the price of Chios was soaring. It had exceeded ten times. As expected, "Tears of God". The price was clearly marked, but the money was not moved. If you don't know what to do, you are just a new arrival. How can you know the market?

For fear of the news leaking, the seven sisters will know in advance. The city of Kailigodai is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and is covered with fine works. If there is any comment, it will be rewarded truthfully. It also makes a name and strictly investigate the entry and exit of the merchant ship. In order to get what you want, you will do everything you can.

Everyone has the intention of seeking profit. What's more, businessmen value profit.

The seven sisters have no news. The tears of God soared day by day. They were afraid that the secret would be leaked and they would give up halfway. The wealthy merchants were abandoned by sleeping and eating. They were suffering in their hearts, and they could imagine.

Half a month later, there was news. It was sent back to Port Aila and the remaining wealthy businessman said that the seven sisters had sent the country to the Central Committee of the Western Women's Kingdom, Queen Suriya, who had ordered the Mediterranean sister ship to transport the tears of God to Alexandria.

The remaining wealthy merchants said that they had followed the seven sisters to travel to Egypt. They waited for the tears of God to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Chios Island to Alexandria. The seven sisters also crossed the Sinai Peninsula from Ella City and arrived in Alexandria at the same time.

This path is also called the King's Way (Note ①). Nowadays, the New Tulazhen Avenue is also a section of the King's Way. Because there are many Bedouin tribes along the way, although it is a shortcut, there are few caravans traveling. Most of them take the coastal road (ViaMaris), go around the Sinai Peninsula, go to Egypt and the city and ports along the route. It is also the "Philistine Road".

There is the Mother of Blood Sand Scorpion, Star Pleia Seraya, and the "Blood Sand Scorpion Flag" pioneered the way. The seven sisters, as if they were entering a land of no one. They were in danger and crossed the Sinai Peninsula and entered the Egyptian province.

Then he walked down the Nile River and arrived at Alexandria before the ship arrived on Chios Island.

The Falus Lighthouse is like the second bright moon hanging high, guiding ships back. As the Egyptian province, the most dazzling pearl of the Mediterranean. The Free Port of Alexandria even has its own Senate. It is rumored that it is the second mighty city of the empire after Rome. From this, the harbor continuously exports grains to the empire, which can support the city of Rome, which can be needed for four months. In fact, the grains paid by Egypt to Rome every month are enough to reach the province of Judea and pay a year of tribute.

The granary of the empire is very important. Therefore, the Egyptian Governor was only responsible to the Roman emperor and was not under the jurisdiction of the Senate. He looked at the finances and justice, and was given military power. His term of office was generally three years. He was responsible for the implementation in Egypt and the emperor worshipped him.

Therefore, Egypt was not so much an imperial province as a dominant of the Roman emperor.

It is dictatorial and unregulated. It is ordered to seek good opportunities for the incense trade alliance. After years of experience, it finally leads to a shortcut. Spices along the Mediterranean coast can be from Alexandria and into the Nile River. Then, "the gods do not know, the ghosts do not realize it", and then transport them to the coast of the Great Ku Lake through the incense trade private route. Then, go down to the small Ku Lake and enter the Red Sea. You can reach the Port of Kerigorde without any obstacles.

Generally speaking, Roman taxes are divided into two direct and indirect taxes.

Direct tax: For provinces, provincial residents who do not have Roman citizenship rights must pay provincial tax (10%) for public security, infrastructure, etc.; for Roman citizens, it is inheritance tax. If the inheritance is given to relatives, inheritance tax (5%) is required.

Indirect tax: consumption tax (1%); tariffs are imposed on trade between provinces and Rome (not higher than 5%), and heavy taxes are imposed on spices, silks, jewelry and other luxury goods (25%).

Spices, silks, jewelry, and inputs and outputs are all taken twenty-five. There is another city tax, and the city ports collect goods from human and rural areas, and one of them is taken (18).

It is conceivable that the incense trade alliance, through private sales shortcuts, whether silk is exported to Rome or spices are transported to India. It can all avoid heavy tax exploitation. It can be imagined that it saves costs by entering and exiting.

With the Egyptian province, it has a special status of being unregulated. A group of private traders are like fish in water.

It is precisely because of the painstaking efforts to explore this path. Therefore, the mercenaries are brimming with the alliance, and a group of wealthy merchants are reluctant to share it with others. The reason for this exception is that the tears of gods are precious. Now the black market in Hong Kong is ten times more gold.

Through Trajan Market, transfer to Tavern Street and arrive at Alexandria, Telmo Winter House.

The seven sisters are busy and traveling day and night. They take risks all the way, but the wealthy businessmen have never left the team. As expected, they are obsessed with profit and wealth.

"Tu tu tu tu-" Seven sisters knocked on the door.

When the tavern door opened, there was a beauty who smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Dun, sister."
