Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

The Liangzhou nobles, who were still waiting for Cao Jie to arrive to build a soap workshop and a steam engine workshop for Liangzhou, also learned that Yecheng was preparing to build a railway and build a steam train.

This can be regarded as mixed news for the nobles in Liangzhou.

The good news is that after the railway is built to Liangzhou in the future, the connection between Liangzhou and Dawei will become closer through steam trains.

The worrying side is naturally that Emperor Tiangao will become a thing of the past in the near future, and the Wei court can greatly strengthen its control over Liangzhou through the railway.

However, these are things that the Liangzhou nobles cannot interfere with. Even if they know how powerful it is, the Liangzhou nobles can only choose the side that is more beneficial to themselves.

Of course, the most important thing now is to build the steam engine workshop and soap workshop first and earn money.

While the Liangzhou nobles were looking forward to Cao Jie, a foreign caravan was heading to the border of Liangzhou.

The leader of this caravan came from the Kushan Empire.

The goods carried in the caravan were mostly precious furs and ivory products, as well as a group of Dawan horses, also known as sweat-blooded horses.

Willy Tutour, the leader of the caravan, is fiddling with the map in his hand.

This map is a family heirloom of Willy Tuttle.

There was a period of frequent trade between the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire, and the Silk Road also developed and prospered during this period.

However, due to the wars during the Three Kingdoms period and the decline of the Kushan Empire's control over surrounding countries, the Silk Road has gradually declined since then.

It was not until the Kushan Empire once again reached glory under the leadership of Vesutiva I, and the Wei Dynasty unified the world, that the originally declining Silk Road gradually regained some vitality.

However, there are still very few merchants who go to the Wei Dynasty for trade from the Kushan Empire.

Because crossing the Silk Road was also a very risky thing at this time.

Although high risk usually means high returns, because the Kushan Empire itself has become stronger again, doing business within the country can also get huge returns.

As for the merchants from Liangzhou and Yongzhou, because Youzhou and Xianbei trade with each other, not many merchants from the two places choose to travel thousands of miles to trade with the Kushan Empire.

The main reason why Willy Tutour took great risks to go to the Wei Dynasty for trade was because he was now a wanted criminal in the Kushan Empire.

Because his family previously supported Dawan's rebellion against the Guishang Empire and obtained a large amount of benefits from it.

After Vesutiva I suppressed the Dawan rebellion, the Tatur family was naturally not spared and was liquidated by Vesutiva I.

Willy Tatur's father, Willy Sr., used half of his family property to bribe officials under Vesutiva I at the last moment, so that Willy Tatur could escape the Kushan Empire with the remaining half of his family property. .

Willy Tatour, who left the Kushan Empire, originally planned to go to the Parthian Empire in order to make a comeback.

It's a pity that fate played a trick on him and he accidentally exposed his whereabouts and finally had no choice but to go to Wei Dynasty.

Fortunately, the Tatour family had done business with Wei Dynasty through the Silk Road before, and they still kept a map at home.

"The city of Wei should be ahead. According to the map, we have arrived in Liangzhou."

Willie Tuttle said to the old butler.

"Master, let's leave quickly and try to enter the city before dark."

Then the group set off again, heading towards Liangzhou City.

The guards at the gate of Liangzhou City felt a little curious after seeing Willy Tutour and his party.

After all, due to the desolation of the Silk Road, no merchants from the Kushan Empire have been seen for nearly a year.

After arriving at the city gate, among the more than 20 people in Willy Tutour's group, only the old housekeeper who had followed old Willy to do business in Dawei could speak Dawei Mandarin.

"Hello, manager, we are the caravan of the Tutour family, and this is Master Willy Tutour."

"We brought some precious commodities with us this time and came to trade."

The old housekeeper said to the guards in Liangzhou City.

After hearing this, the guards inspected the goods carried by Willy Tartu and found no crossbows or armor hidden there, so they let them enter Liangzhou City.

Finally arriving in Liangzhou City, Willy Tutour, his wife, children, and the rest of the Tutour family all felt a sense of security that they had not seen for a long time.

The journey to Dawei was not peaceful. One-fifth of the goods were lost just by dealing with the bandit Weili Tatour.

"Master, let's find a place to rest first, and then make further arrangements."

The old butler suggested to Willy Tutour at this time.

This was Willy Tutour's first visit to Dawei and Liangzhou City, so he naturally accepted the old housekeeper's suggestions with an open mind.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way!"

The old butler took Willy Tuttle and his party to the inn according to the impression he had in his memory.

However, Liangzhou City has changed a lot over the years. It is more prosperous than when the old housekeeper came here, and the entire Liangzhou City is much larger than before.

After some inquiries and negotiations, Willie Tuttle and his party finally checked into an inn.

After settling down his family and entourage, Willy Tutour found the old housekeeper and asked him to take him around Liangzhou City to familiarize himself with the environment.

In the next few years, Willy Tutour thinks he may be living in Dawei.

If he wants to return to the Kushan Empire, his current strength and capital are far from enough.

Although the old butler was exhausted, he knew the anxiety and worry in Willy Tutour's heart.

"Okay, young master, let's go."

"But Liangzhou City has changed a lot over the years, and I'm not very familiar with it anymore."

After the old butler finished speaking, he and Willy Tutour left the inn and headed to the street.

After arriving on the street, Willie Tuttle and the old housekeeper, who were both blond and blue-eyed, naturally became oddities among the crowd.

Some older Liangzhou people knew that they were from the Kushan Empire.

The children looked at Willie Tuttle and the old butler with great curiosity.

"Dad, why do those two people have yellow hair? And their eyes are blue!"

"How strange. Are they Xianbei people?"

A little boy asked his father, his eyes always fixed on Willy Tutour and the old butler not far away.

"They are not Xianbei people, they should be from the Kushan Empire or the Parthian Empire. I haven't seen merchants from there for many years."

The little boy's father heard this and was a little curious.
