Chapter 158 Building a Toll Station

Yes, Zhao Fubo's, however, must have some turning point. At this moment, he remembered something that Teacher Martin said. *.* He did not intend to implement this kind of thing in the "Huaxia Empire" and would not be allowed to happen. Because in the "Huaxia Empire", illegal charges are equivalent to robbing and robbery. However, such things are not allowed to happen in China, but can happen abroad.

"Well, this is an interesting thing..."

Zhao Fubo's murmur made Azam Tulansha Sultan feel sincerely happy, because as long as the "Chinese Army" navy is still stationed here, the "Holy Holy Church" in the future will not be able to attack Syria. At this moment, Azam Tulansha Sultan is very envious of Egypt. In the past five years, Egypt has made great progress due to the protection of the nearby Alexandria and Damietta.

This is closely related to the "Huaxia Empire"'s use of Egyptian agricultural technology and the use of animal agricultural machinery. Although Martin did not know much agricultural knowledge, corn, potatoes, coffee, cocoa and other crops made the entire Egyptian economy full of vitality. Moreover, the three-field rotation farming method also greatly increased the fertility of arable land. Importantly, sewer systems have been established in cities and villages in Egypt, which makes the agricultural fertilizer available to the land more sufficient.

Although Egypt was not able to develop any industrial technology under the supervision of the "Huaxia Empire", the long-term agricultural exhibition has brought about huge changes in Egypt in just these 3 to 4 years. Especially after the completion of the "road", the increase in transportation volume also activated Egypt's economy. According to what Azam Tulansha Sultan knows, Egypt's annual income at this moment exceeded three times that of the past.

Moreover, the application and development of drip and infiltration irrigation technology has enabled sandy land far away from Egypt to still become a good farm or an irrigated pasture. These are the places that Azam and Tulansha Sultan envy. Although in terms of military terms, his army was the most powerful in the entire Arab Empire. Egypt obviously has a stronger and better development prospect.

Compared with Egypt, Syria has more land in barren deserts. Now with relatively fertile land along the Black Sea coast, after expelling the people of the "Sacred Holy Church" in the future, it will become the most important area for Syria's food and animal husbandry development. But the premise is that the war must stop for a relatively long time, otherwise he will not have the opportunity to use his limited financial resources to implement his development plan.

Seeing Zhao Fubo's reaction, this made Azam Tulansha Sultan feel hope. Because he thought of a reason, and this reason should be enough to allow the Black Sea Fleet of the "Huaxia Empire" to establish a naval base in Golden Horn Bay. This naval base can establish some important levels and charge necessary fees.

"Yes, your majesty, the place with huge commercial interests in Golden Horn Bay will need the protection of a just and powerful army. You know that when this place is completely controlled by one force, it will affect the economic development of the entire region. Although our Syrian merchants may go to the Mediterranean, it is not easy for the merchants of the Chincha Khanate to go out from here. So..."

Zhao Fubo sneered in his heart. Of course, he knew how much wealth would be in such a strait that stuck to the intersection of Eurasia. One is the commercial route from the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea, and the second is the commercial route through the strait. Of course, even with the current "Huaxia Empire", it is impossible to build a bridge connecting Eurasia, but this is an opportunity worth keeping in your hands.

Of course, it is not only the "Huaxia Empire" that benefited in this matter. The "Huaxia Empire Navy Black Sea Fleet" actually plays a role in suppressing here, that is, wars are not likely to occur between surrounding countries. This is obviously not very consistent with the turbulent and uneasy scenes in West Asia in the long-term strategy of the "Huaxia Empire". But the fact in front of us is that Syria is not too rich after years of war, and the Mongols will find it difficult to expect them to have any big news for at least five years.

"Well, this suggestion is good. Unfortunately, it makes our Black Sea Fleet of the Chinese Empire stay away from their home port to fight, which will put huge pressure on our military expenditure. Moreover, the naval base in Jinjinwan also requires a lot of money to complete it, so..."

Azam Tulansha Sultan of course understood what Zhao Fubo meant. He wanted Golden Horn Bay, but he didn't want to pay the cost of establishing a naval base. And to build that naval base, the one who benefited was naturally Syria. Although Syria is an ally of the "Chinese Empire", brothers still need to settle accounts clearly, so naturally the accounts between the allies will only be clearer.

"Of course, the Great Emperor, you know that I have gained some small gains from the Byzantines recently, so I plan to treat the naval base in Golden Horn as a gift I give you!"

Zhao Fubo looked embarrassed. Although he would certainly receive this "gift", there is no need to be embarrassed in the international community. Just like the Chinese Navy collects "ocean tithes tax" all over the world. There is no need to feel embarrassed, because all the resources in this world are just the interests of the strong.

But when it comes to the inside, there is no such thing. There is no toll station, and no other miscellaneous taxes are allowed. What to collect and how much to collect is written clearly. Violating charges are equivalent to robbing and robbery. According to the "Huaxia Law", you will always be pursued and pursued by senior officials. The greater the official position, the heavier the responsibility.

So the leader who uses those means to the country and restricts the real prosperity and development of the domestic economy and only sees the huge benefits of immediate income is a very stupid person. In the "Huaxia Empire", let alone building a toll station that will always be a huge problem, even establishing it will become a huge problem. If a crime is caused, then more people will die.

But I believe everyone has understood that people like Zhao Fubo like to put some things in China that will make citizens hate abroad. Also, those people pay taxes to him. Regardless of their joys, sorrows, sorrows, and life in dire straits, they have nothing to do with him, Zhao Fubo.

"Build a toll station, this is a good idea. I said to His Majesty Azam Tulansha, next time you have such a good idea, remember to tell me earlier!"

"Sure, certain, of course!"

When answering, Azam Tulansha Sultan was also full of joy. The reason mentioned earlier is that compared with his expected future income, a naval base is not worth much!
