Universe dominance

With the strategic cooperation agreement reached between the Empire and the Honor Alliance, the vast void centered on the Empire has ushered in a rare period of peace. The Empire has just annexed the Sculptor Galaxy and has no appetite to continue to eat in a short time. In addition, the Honor Alliance has restricted it, so its foreign policy has turned to "disintegrate the Honor Alliance".

Inside the Honor Alliance, because of the agreement of the offensive and defensive alliance, the wars between each other have also stopped. Many galaxies that originally had deep hatred for each other have also stopped fighting. They are all members of the Honor Alliance and dare not violate the alliance agreement.

Peace has its benefits. In the vast void, trade between galaxies has begun to flourish. Because no one dares to break the existing situation, even if there are conflicts between them, they can only suppress them. More of them are economic and trade exchanges.

The Empire is in the center of the entire area, and it is the most powerful civilization in the surrounding area. It also has trade weapons such as biological warfare soldiers, so it has gradually become the core and hub of the entire area's economy and trade.

The shortest route for the caravans of the Honor Alliance to travel north and south is through the Empire, and basically every member of the Honor Alliance is desperately buying advanced biological warfare soldiers from the Empire to strengthen their own strength, especially the river civilizations and forces on the periphery, who are even more eager to learn about biological warfare soldiers.

Time is slowly passing, and in the blink of an eye, 10,000 years have passed!

The entrance and exit of the space-time ocean current from the Linyuan River System of the Luoyuan Civilization to the Andromeda Galaxy of the Yanhuang Empire is more prosperous than before because it is an important route to the Yanhuang Empire. The entire void is full of neatly arranged space ports.

The brightly lit space port is extremely busy, with spaceships rising and falling, caravans coming and going, and people of various races from various river civilizations and forces of the Honor Alliance gathered here to bargain with each other to discuss the transaction of goods.

"Go to the Andromeda Galaxy of the Yanhuang Empire, a total of 1 million spaceships."

Kakai, a merchant from the Caster Empire with double horns on his head, handed a card to the customs officer of the Luoyuan civilization. He had been to the Yanhuang Empire more than once or twice, so he was familiar with many things.

The Caster Empire is tens of millions of light years away from the Yanhuang Empire. It takes thousands of years to go back and forth through more than ten galaxies.

Of course, everyone who has done interstellar trade knows that the farther you go in the universe, the higher the profit. Although it takes thousands of years to go back and forth, the profit is also terrifyingly high, tens of thousands of times, hundreds of thousands of times, and millions of times. There is no limit to the online. If you are lucky, one trip is enough for your descendants to eat for generations.

However, it also requires a lot of capital to do cosmic trade, especially this kind of long-distance cosmic trade, which is even more affordable for the most powerful merchants in a galaxy civilization and forces. The investment is large, and the cargo of hundreds of thousands of large spaceships is easy to carry.

Then a small force with only a few thousand or tens of thousands of spaceships can only play around in the nearby river system, and can't withstand the toss of such long-distance space trade.

This time, Kakao brought a large amount of goods to the Yanhuang Empire to sell, most of which were extremely valuable heaven and earth spiritual materials. They could be sold at a good price in the Yanhuang Empire. On the return trip, he brought the biological combat soldiers of the Yanhuang Empire and sold them in the Caster Empire to maximize the profit of this trip.

"If you go to the Yanhuang Empire, you need to pay 70% of the tariff. I don't know if you will settle with Yanhuang coins or goods."

The customs staff of Luoyuan Civilization carefully read the information on the card, and then said very coldly.

"What? 70% tariff, did I hear it wrong?"

Kakao couldn't believe it when he heard it, and thought he had heard it wrong. Tariffs would exist as long as there was trade. Because of the Honor Alliance, the trade between members was very close, and tariffs were generally not too heavy. The previous tariffs were only about 5%.

"You heard it right, it's 70%. As long as you pay this tariff, you can go to the Yanhuang Empire." The customs staff of Luoyuan Civilization nodded and said again. "You are robbing money. The previous tariff was only 5%. Why is it increased by 70% now?" Kakao almost jumped up. The 70% tariff is too heavy. He has passed through more than ten river systems along the way. All of them have to pay tariffs. In fact, the tariff is quite heavy. Now he has to pay 70% tariffs at once. If he pays this tariff, this trip can basically be regarded as a waste of time. "In the past, it was in the past. Now the tariff has been adjusted. If you don't pay the tariff, you may not be able to go to the Yanhuang Empire." The customs staff of Luoyuan Civilization said coldly. In fact, he was a little confused about the sudden increase in tariffs, but he still had to resolutely execute the orders of his superiors. "Hmph~ I will report this matter to our Caster Empire. I believe the Honor Alliance will give us a fair explanation."

KaKao snorted in dissatisfaction, took back his card, and prepared to contact the Caster Empire to let the empire behind him support him.

"Whatever you want, do we in Luoyuan Civilization still fear your Caster Empire?"

The customs staff of Luo Yuan Civilization looked indifferent. Luo Yuan Civilization was a powerful civilization occupying more than ten river systems, and it was nothing short of a Custer Empire.

…

In a virtual conference room, the figures of representatives of various members of the Honor Alliance kept flashing out. The figure of the Emperor of the Custer Empire, Man Niu, was also among them, but at this time, he had a very unhappy look on his face, and his eyes were looking at him. Scanning the virtual conference room, I quickly found Buck, the leader of Luoyuan Civilization.

"Sir Buck, I don't know why you, Luo Yuan, suddenly increased taxes on our Custer Empire's caravan going to the Yanhuang Empire, a 70% tariff. What do you mean?"

Barbarian Bull has the violent temper of the Tauren race, and as the emperor of a powerful civilization, his temper is not very good. Now he is pointing directly at Buck's little head and asking.

In fact, not only Kakaou's caravan encountered the problem of a sudden increase in tariffs, but other caravans also encountered the same situation. As long as the caravans heading to the Yanhuang Empire had increased taxes.

"Your Majesty Manniu, don't give yourself any credit. Our Luoyuan civilization is not targeting your Custer Empire. We treat every member fairly. All caravans going to the Yanhuang Empire, no matter which river system civilization they come from, we All are subject to a unified tariff of 70%.”

Faced with Man Niu's questioning, Buck still looked calm and calm. The strength of the Luoyuan civilization was very strong. How could he be afraid of the Custer Empire, not to mention the treaty restrictions of the Honor Alliance.

"Yes, why did the tax suddenly increase on our caravan, and why is it so heavy?"

"We must give us an explanation today."

"Our caravans are also taxed, but it's just the Bart Empire."

“The Obadiah River System has also increased taxes on us, also by 70%!”

Representatives of other surrounding river system civilizations and forces also started to shout after hearing this. Not only the Luo Yuan Civilization raised the tariff to 70%, but all the river system civilizations and forces bordering the Yanhuang Empire also raised the tariff. 70%, it seems that these civilizations have made an agreement with each other.

This cosmic trade can only be safely carried back and forth through the ocean currents of time and space. Although it can also be reached through the dark abyss, the risks involved are too great, the losses are too serious, and there is no supply and rest, which is obviously unrealistic.

When the Luoyuan Civilization, Bart Empire, Yubi River System, Obadiah River System, and other river system civilizations and forces adjacent to the empire increased their tariffs, everyone's trade routes to the Yanhuang Empire were suddenly blocked.

"What? Tariffs have also been raised in other directions?"

At this time, Manniu realized that things were not as simple as they seemed, and asked the others. Soon, everyone chatted with each other for a while, and everyone knew the various routes leading to the Yanhuang Empire. Tariffs on routes have been increased.

"What do you mean? The tariffs we have levied on your caravans have never been raised. You have privately raised the tariffs to such an extent that it has seriously affected our cosmic trade."

Man Niu said to Buck and others.

"That's right, what do you mean? Why did you raise the tariff to 70% all of a sudden? If you don't give us an explanation today, we will also impose the same tariff on your caravan."

"You must think clearly, this is not only harming our interests, but also harming the interests of the Yanhuang Empire."

The leaders of each civilization also shouted. At this time, in the virtual conference room, the people of the Honor Alliance began to divide into three parts. One part was led by the Custer Empire Barbarian and was seriously dissatisfied with the increase in tariffs; Led by Buck, the leader of the Luoyuan Civilization, these are the leaders of the civilizations of the river systems adjacent to the Yanhuang Empire; there are also some who have nothing to do with themselves, and these are the leaders of the river systems in the middle area. Civilization leader.

"If you want to increase tariffs, just increase them. We don't care. Anyway, if you don't pay the tariffs we set, you won't be able to go to the Yanhuang Empire from our territory."

Buck looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said with a sneer, not caring at all about various threats.

In fact, this increase in tariffs was also advocated and proposed by Buck, the leader of Luoyuan Civilization. Other river system civilizations and forces adjacent to the Yanhuang Empire also responded actively. There was no way, Luoyuan Civilization, Bart Empire and other civilizations also suffered from pink eye.
