The First Tyrant of Daxia

Ma Yingyong arranged a very sumptuous banquet to welcome Qin Yun's return.

Qin Yun also noticed Ma Yingyong's contribution and decided to reward him for guarding the border.

Ma Yingyong was naturally very happy.

On the second day, Qin Yun led an army of 220,000 to set off.

Southern Xinjiang already has 1.1 million troops, and with the command of General Xiao Jian, it should not be difficult to repel the White Armor Army in Southern Xinjiang.

Therefore, Qin Yun did not let Long Xiao go to Southern Xinjiang, but decided to let Long Xiao follow him back to the capital.

If you want to return to the capital, you must first reach the border town of Heishi City, and then go all the way from Heishi City to Tianshui City.

Tianshui City is the westernmost part of the Great Xia Empire that can be reached by the canal, and taking the canal back to the capital is the fastest way.

At this moment, Qin Yun was eager to return home.

The same is true for Murong Shunhua and others. They have left the Great Xia Empire for a long time.

Qin Yun had even sent someone to deliver the dispatch order to the county governor of Tianshui City in advance, asking him to immediately prepare the ships to head north.

As long as Qin Yun arrives in Tianshui City, he can take a boat directly north.

In addition, Qin Yun also asked Lu Bai to notify the Jinyiwei to investigate the Sihai merchant caravans in the Great Xia Empire.

Azati made a deal with him in order to protect his wife and children, so Qin Yun still had some faith in the clues he provided.

Even if he was just talking nonsense, Qin Yun could let the Jinyiwei investigate everything and would never wrongly accuse anyone.

However, if this is true, then Azati’s country will not be able to be saved.

Qin Yun didn't think he would be such a fool.

As for the other countries that rebelled against the King of the Western Regions, Qin Yun would naturally not let them go.

After returning to the capital, Qin Yun will send people to destroy those Western Regions countries and let them know the power of the Great Xia Empire.

This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

But before that, Qin Yun was more concerned about the Great Xia Empire.

One day later, Qin Yun passed through Black Stone City, and on the third day, Qin Yun arrived at Tianshui City.

There is a wild and solemn atmosphere in Black Stone City, but Tianshui City is very prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it seems like a prosperous and peaceful place.

As the westernmost node of the canal, Tianshui City was naturally affected by the canal. Driven by the canal, the economy here developed rapidly.

Gongsun Ruoshui pointed at Tianshui City and said, "Your Majesty, look at this Tianshui City. It is located at the westernmost end of the canal. You can go all the way down the canal from the capital. It is very convenient."

"Besides, Tianshui City is only three days away from Yumen Pass."

"If Your Majesty really intends to build a trade center in the Persian region, Tianshui City is undoubtedly the most suitable city in the west of the Great Xia Empire."

Qin Yun nodded and said, "It's really good. Tianshui City's water transportation is connected to the canal. If we need to communicate and develop the economy in the West, Tianshui City is indeed a good inland stop."

In the era of cold weapons, water transportation was the largest means of transportation. Even in modern times, water transportation is still an extremely large means of transportation.

Tianshui City is connected to the canal, and it is a very good bridge for communication with the west.

But the problem is that Tianshui City is not connected to the sea, and the better way to leave Tianshui City would be by land transportation.

If the goods come from the more distant Western world, choosing sea transportation is obviously a more cost-effective and rational choice.

Tianshui City can only serve as a communication bridge near the Persian area. If it really wants to connect with the Western world for trade, it still has to rely on sea transportation.

However, with the canal, Tianshui City still has a lot of advantages.

Su Yan smiled and said, "Not only Tianshui City, but all the cities along the canal will have a great opportunity, provided that a trade center can be established to facilitate trade between the East and the West."

"Then it depends on Your Majesty." Gongsun Ruoshui looked at Qin Yun with a smile.

Qin Yun smiled slightly, "The business center plan still needs to be implemented. Although the Great Xia Empire is powerful, its military force is too large. If we don't work hard to make money, we can't afford to support so many soldiers."

Gongsun Wan'er said with a smile, "Oh my God, if the people knew that their emperor also had to rack his brains to make money, they would probably die of laughter, right?"

Qin Yun pinched her nose and said, "What's the difference between being an emperor and being an ordinary citizen? It's just the difference between governing a country and governing a family. The former is a million times more difficult."

"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense." Murong Shunhua nodded in agreement.

At this time, the mayor of Tianshui City ran out with the officials in the city.

"Your Majesty! You are finally back!" The mayor of Tianshui City was a fat, white man who could hardly wear his official uniform.

Qin Yun smiled, "Jiang County Magistrate, the food is good."

Jiang Dawei smiled awkwardly and pressed his belly with his hand, "Your Majesty, my belly is not... I... It's mainly because of my busy official duties. I'm busy every day, and that's it. I haven't done anything illegal."

Qin Yun smiled faintly and said, "Jiang County Magistrate, I didn't say anything. I was just concerned about your food. Why did you say that?"

"This……"

The expression on Governor Jiang's fat face became more and more embarrassed.

Qin Yun laughed, "Jiang County Magistrate, why don't you let me enter the city?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Magistrate Jiang quickly made way for him. "Your Majesty, please come in. I have already prepared a banquet at the best restaurant in the city. Your Majesty and the ladies, please enjoy it."

"Let's go."

Qin Yun said calmly, and the golden dragon car started immediately.

The tall and majestic white bear pulled the golden dragon carriage into the city in a swaggering manner.

When the people saw the big white bear, they were frightened at first and hid away.

But when they saw the white bear pulling a golden dragon carriage, reverence suddenly welled up in their eyes.

Only then did they realize that this white bear was actually a mount for pulling the cart!

This made them wonder who the person sitting in the car was.

What surprised them even more was that the governor of Jiang County and almost all the officials in the city, big and small, followed the golden dragon carriage. How rich must the owner of this golden dragon carriage be?

Suddenly, someone's eyes widened, and he recognized Qin Yun's golden dragon chariot and shouted loudly, "Isn't this your majesty's golden dragon chariot?!"

"Oh my God! His Majesty is back!"

"It's His Majesty who has returned!"

All the people rejoiced at this moment.

"Welcome back, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty must have returned victorious from your expedition to the West!"

All the people were excitedly surrounding the golden dragon chariot.

Tianshui City was originally just a small city, but due to the opening of Yuncheng, they all live very well now.

This time, Qin Yun brought them all.

The people of Tianshui City all love Qin Yun very much.

This is true for all the people of the Great Xia Empire.
