Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky
Chapter 4849 Chamber of Commerce!
After passing Wuzhaiguan, you can enter the eighteen imperial states of Chu State.
The Eighteen Prefectures of Huangquan are under the direct jurisdiction of the State of Chu.
In the huge territory of the Demon World, it sounds like "eighteen state boundaries" are not very big, but this is not the case.
The eighteen states of Huangquan are extremely huge.
When the Chu State was founded, the eighteen imperial states were established as the direct state boundaries of the Chu State.
At first, the territory of the Eighteen States was several times wider than the territory of other states.
After so many years of development of the Chu State, the state boundaries around the Eighteen Imperial States have been continuously annexed and incorporated into the territory of the "Eighteen Imperial States", making the territory of the Eighteen Imperial States bigger and bigger... …
For example... Chen You just introduced "Wuzhaiguancheng".
Wuzhaiguancheng was once a state boundary. After it was annihilated by the Chu State, this state boundary became "Wuzhaiguancheng" and became the gateway to the south of the eighteen states of Huangquan.
Things like "Wuzhaiguancheng" were not uncommon in the territory of the former Chu State.
The state boundaries were merged again and again, and the state boundaries were merged into the eighteen imperial states, making the territory of the eighteen imperial states more and more vast.
It is no exaggeration to say that... each state boundary in the eighteen imperial states is equivalent to "seventy times" the size of ordinary state boundaries.
To put it simply... any state boundary among the eighteen imperial states is equivalent to the size of six "Eternal Thirteen States", which is equivalent to the size of "seventy" Hengzhou.
The eighteen states of the imperial power of the Chu State were named after "the sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the sea is full of vicissitudes, the enemy is defeated, the sun and the moon are in the same sky, and the mountains and rivers are forever solid".
Among them, "Yongzhou" in "Eternal Solidity of Mountains and Rivers" is the clan land of the royal family of the Chu State, and can be regarded as the private territory of the royal family of the Chu State.
In the mouths of ordinary warriors, "Yongzhou" is usually not considered the territory of Chu State.
If Yongzhou and Guzhou are included, then it should not be the "Eighteen Imperial States" but the "Nineteen Imperial States".
Both "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" and "Sun and Moon Tongtian" have the word "天", so there is only one Tianzhou.
The Shanhe Chamber of Commerce's Spirit Boat departed from Wuzhaiguan City, and the first state border it passed was "Kezhou" which was included in "Defeating the Enemy and Victory".
The four state boundaries of "defeating the enemy and winning" are located in the four directions of the eighteen imperial states of Chu State.
To the south is Kezhou, to the north is enemy state, to the east is Zhizhou, and to the west is Shengzhou.
These four state boundaries belong to the borders of the eighteen imperial states and are usually used to station troops.
Once the eighteen imperial states were in crisis, these four states would send troops to suppress it.
…
The spirit boat of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce slowly set off, leading the rising sun and breaking through the clouds and waves.
The first ray of sunshine in the morning passed through the sea of clouds and shone on the faces of Lin Bai and Chen You after the spirit boat leaned on the railing.
The spirit boat was already filled with warriors.
Most of the warriors, like Lin Bai and Chen You, were temporarily recruited by the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce to act as guards.
The temporary guards were not members of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce and could not gain the trust of the Chamber of Commerce, so the Chamber of Commerce prohibited them from entering the cabin.
Therefore, most of the warriors gathered on the deck.
Fortunately, the Spirit Boat of the Shanhe Chamber of Commerce is extremely large, with five floors, enough to accommodate thousands of warriors.
Even though there are hundreds of temporary guards gathered on the deck, it still doesn't feel crowded.
The spirit boat flew away and quickly left Wuzhaiguan City.
"Why do these chambers of commerce still choose to drive spirit boats even though there is a teleportation array?"
"Isn't it faster to transport goods through the teleportation array?"
Lin Bai suddenly remembered something and asked Chen You.
The teleportation array only needs a flash of light to span millions of miles in an instant.
From this state border, appear in another state border in an instant.
It is not only convenient, but also extremely efficient, but why are the large and small chambers of commerce in Chu State unwilling to do this?
Moreover... when driving a spirit boat across the border, if you encounter bad people along the way, you will inevitably get into a fight. The risk factor is too great, and it is far less safe than the teleportation array.
Chen You smiled and said: "It's actually very simple to be willing..."
"First, the cost of the teleportation array is extremely high, and not all warriors can afford it."
"Take Chu State as an example. If it's a teleportation between cities, the price is slightly cheaper."
"But if it's a transmission between state lines, each transmission requires a lot of money."
"For example, if we teleport all the way from Ziwei City to Wuzhaiguan City, Brother Lin, I spent all the money on the journey. Of course you won't feel sad."
When Lin Bai heard this, his face darkened, showing embarrassment.
Indeed, Lin Bai was short of money and had no money to pay for the transmission.
And it was Chen You who took the initiative to invite Lin Bai to go with him, and Chen You also took the initiative to bear the transmission costs.
Lin Bai suddenly remembered that for every state-border teleportation, each person needed "one hundred purple gold."
It had been some time since he had been in the territory of Chu State, and Lin Bai had probably understood the value of "one hundred purple gold", which was equivalent to one million magic beads of the Eternal Demon Sect.
This kind of transmission fee is indeed extremely expensive.
For example, Lin Bai and Chen You teleported from Ziwei City. Along the way, they crossed hundreds of state borders in half a month and spent tens of thousands in teleportation fees.
If Lin Bai were to go alone, he probably would not be able to afford such a high transmission fee.
Fortunately, Chen You gave me money.
During this period of time, Lin Bai discovered that... Chen You was really rich.
The kind of person who is as rich as a country. Anyway, Chen You is never short of money.
As Chen You himself said... When I make friends, I never look at the other person's money. Anyway, they are not as rich as me.
"Second point, the teleportation array is actually not very safe."
"If someone is trying to trick someone secretly, a warrior can be made to disappear silently into the teleportation array during the teleportation process."
"Brother Lin, you have to know... once someone manipulates the teleportation array and sets the other end of the teleportation array to another location, it is very likely that you will be surrounded by tens of thousands of people immediately after teleportation."
"Many chambers of commerce in Chu State have reported this issue to the Chu State."
"They once said that many government officials took advantage of their positions to secretly change the direction of the teleportation array, so that when warriors from their major chambers of commerce stepped into the teleportation array, they disappeared from the world, taking them with them. The treasures disappeared together on the land of Chu."
"..."
"Third point, in fact, the spirit boat escorting treasures is relatively safe compared to the teleportation array."
"Each major chamber of commerce has a unique path. On this path, they have been managing various forces for many years."
"Compared to the teleportation array, it is safer."
"Therefore, each major chamber of commerce has a unique path to its business, and the different forces on the path have excellent relationships."
"Unless some chambers of commerce want to expand their business territory, they will open up other paths, which is very dangerous."
"For example... the Shanhe Merchant Guild Spirit Boat we are riding on now wants to expand their business, so they encountered the attack."
Chen Youqian's arrival suddenly made Lin Bai realize that there were so many rules in the business world.
