After talking to Guo Peng for a while, Ma Bo felt that his vision of the problem was different from the original one.

Originally, his vision was concentrated in a county, and at most he looked up at Liangzhou, and then he had no other ideas.

But now, he felt that if he wanted to stand firm and walk fast, he would also look up and look farther away places, such as Luoyang, and even abroad.

This world is connected, not separated from each other.

In his opinion, it will not take long for an economic depression that will affect the three prefectures of the Western Regions and the two prefectures of Yongliang.

The impact on Yongzhou should be fine. Yongzhou itself can also connect with the Guandong Market and Shuzhong Market. Its agricultural foundation is also very strong. If a few nouveau riche die at all times and vertically, there will be no trouble in the basic market.

Moreover, if Guo Peng can tell Lu Qian about this, he will naturally tell Mao Jie.

Mao Jie will make some corresponding preparations, and nothing will happen in Yongzhou.

Only in the three prefectures in the Western Regions and Liangzhou will there be major problems.

Agricultural production itself has its limits. Relying on agriculture alone, life is tight and business has been through a few good years. As a result, half of the passenger flow and half of the commercial orders will be lost, which means half of the wealth source will be lost.

Half of it!

It seems that half of the source of wealth can be saved, but how many of the merchants who specialize in connecting with the Rest Empire can survive this economic depression and last until the second recovery?

Will there be a second recovery?

The great chaos in the late Han Dynasty lasted until the establishment of the Guo-Wei Empire, and it took about twenty years to rest in peace for twenty years?

Who can hold on for twenty years?

Ma Bo didn't know, but he knew that this wave was not only a test for the commercial economy, but also for the officialdom of the Three Prefectures of the Western Regions and the Yongliang Prefectures.

Whoever has the best control of the business scale before the crisis comes, the smaller the loss, the lower the degree of people's hearts will be, the more calm the depression will be, and the hard life will be.

There will be no additional political crisis.

Therefore, the next period of time is an opportunity for business, but it may not be an opportunity for officials.

Do your best to prepare before the crisis comes, and wait for the crisis to officially arrive? It depends on everyone's own ability. Each person shows his bayonet and see the truth. Who is the real gold and who is the parallel product? Let's see the difference!

Ma Bo took a deep breath? Start preparing.

Guo Peng chatted with many officials along the way? When talking about state affairs, he brought Guo Chengzhi with him and asked him to listen with him.

He doesn't need to speak? Just listen. After listening, Guo Peng will ask him what he feels when he leaves.

Guo Chengzhi’s biggest feeling is different angles from looking at the problem.

"As a result, many things need to be seen longer. The further you see? The more correct the conclusion you draw? If you only look at the interests in front of you? Just focus on how to do it well at the moment? I'm afraid you can't even do it well at the moment? There will definitely be problems."

"This is what is called "people have no long-term thoughts?"

Guo Peng nodded and took Guo Chengzhi's hand and walked forward slowly: "You have to stand high enough to see far enough and far enough to formulate the most realistic policy for the country? And? The present and past of Wei are different.

Chengzhi? We have gradually connected with the whole world. The war between Loumo and Anxue Kingdom, which is thousands of miles away from us, can actually affect the livelihoods of the people in Liangzhou under our feet. Do you think this is a very wonderful thing?"

Guo Chengzhi nodded.

He had seen that world map, and he was personally taught the correct world concept by Guo Peng. He had a broad vision from the beginning.

So he was not ignorant of the Roman and the Rest Empire, which were thousands of miles apart. On the contrary, he understood very well, and was a master of international politics.

He knew Rome, rest, and Kushan.

Knowing that Rome and Rest fought for years, they had deep hatred between each other.

I knew that the father of this generation of Roman emperors had once conquered the capital of the Kingdom of Silence, and Silence was always ashamed of.

I also know that the sunset of Anxu Kingdom is getting old and almost gone. This war is more like a death talisman, urging Anxu to collapse faster.

So Guo Chengzhi spoke slowly.

"It's really amazing. It's thousands of miles away, but it can affect our livelihoods because of the contacts of merchants. If they are stable, we can make money and let more people live a good life. If they are unstable, we won't make that money and someone will have a hard life."

"Yes, this is the wonder of the Silk Road, which has benefits and disadvantages. Just like life, there are not only good things, but also countless bad things. If you can make profits from it, you will inevitably lose them. There is no absolute profit."

Guo Peng said slowly: "So, Chengzhi, remember, never think about the best of both worlds, always remember that the most important thing for those who rule is to be able to take the least of both evils."

"Yes, my grandson will never forget it in his life."

Guo Chengzhi also followed Guo Peng and turned his attention to the distant West - the battlefield between the Roman Empire and the Rest Empire.

The war that was profoundly affecting the economic production activities in the western part of the Wei Empire is coming to an end.

Karakara has successfully conquered the capital of the Rest Empire, and the war has ended.

Aldaban V has completely failed.

The army he led collapsed under the offensive of the Roman army, and the extremely tired Rest Empire was no longer able to provide the Rest Army with more strategic supplies.

Aldaban V was not able to ask for money from the powerful and did not have the prestige to let local powers support him to continue fighting, so he naturally could not continue.

He was actually very clear that this war could not continue. At the moment, he just breathed a sigh of relief and didn't want the Roman army to invade the capital Taisifon again.

Back then, Karakara's father Seviru attacked Taisifon and gave the Rest Empire great insult.

If Karakala continues to attack and two generations of father and son attack Taixifeng one after another, the prestige of the central government of the Anxi Empire will be completely lost. At that time, local powerful figures will see the decline of the central government clearly and will be ambitious.

The Persians were never honest, and their yearning for the majestic Persian empire established by their ancestors never disappeared.

By then, Rome is not the most important enemy, the centrifugal forces within are the most terrible enemies, and those Persians who are ready to move are the real crisis of the Rest Empire.

However, Karakara can establish his complete inheritance of his father through this - we have all conquered the Taixifeng and become conquerors.

His prestige will be greatly enhanced, and he will greatly condense his prestige as an emperor, thereby further integrating the power he can use and increasing the threat.

Against this background, Aldaban V really dared not lose.

But he still lost.

The elite cavalry of the Central Army of Anxu were defeated by the Roman cavalry, and the Roman infantry also defeated the resistance of the Anxu infantry. Aldaban V lost a mess on the front line and was injured.

He was shot with an arrow on his shoulder, and even the guards were killed halfway. He fought hard among the chaos and tried his best to escape and returned to the capital.

As a result, the Romans soon chased them up and attacked the city.

He tried his best to defend the city, mobilized all the troops to defend the city, personally took the battle to boost morale, and refused to give in.

After persisting for more than ten days, he was unable to save the capital that his ancestors finally recovered, and the capital was lost again.

The Romans flocked in, the Anxu army collapsed and could not engage in street fighting, and Taixifeng was lost again.

Unfortunately, he couldn't even save the last trace of face.

In order to survive, he had to flee to the eastern part of the empire at the suggestion of his confidants, trying to reorganize his strength and then fight against the Roman Empire.

But he has lost all his capital and still has how much appeal he has to the local area.

How dignity does a leader who is defeated by the enemy and even lost the capital have?

I can only say that I hope there is still a little left to save my life.

If those Persian powerful men still have some respect for him and will not take his life while he is sick...

In short, with the retreat of Ardaban V, the building of the Rest Empire gradually moved towards a collapsed reality.

Compared to the downturn and fear of Aldaban V, Karakara is so proud of her.

He led his army into Taixifeng, proved his ability, proved that he could inherit his father's status, become the great military emperor, and lead the imperial guards to promote and make money together.

The negative impact of killing Macrinus was completely destroyed and disappeared as Tessimone was broken and Marcinus had also forgotten everything in front of Tesimone's gold, silver and jewelry.

The Guards plundered in Taixifeng, plundering treasures, and robbed the people, taking everything that Taixifeng had for himself, doing their best to desire, while Karakara smiled proudly at the peak of desire.

He knew that from then on, he would become a powerful king like his father, and he would have a series of dominance over the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards could no longer threaten him, but would become his tool of ruling, opening the prelude to his dream of realizing centralization.

The Absas Empire lost its troops and lost its territory, and was completely defeated. The capital was lost. All that should be lost was lost. Karakala originally wanted to march while he was victorious and attack several important cities in the central and eastern part of the Absas Empire.

For example, the fortress of the Silent Empire that neither Trajan nor his father Sevelu had conquered back then. If he could conquer and further penetrate into the heart of the Silent Empire, he would definitely be able to further damage the Silent Empire.

However, most of his followers and generals opposed this to be aggressive.

The reason is that their army had only 50,000 people in total, and it was difficult to do something that Emperor Saiweilu had not done at that time.

Moreover, this expedition itself was speculative and was not prepared for a full-scale war. If an attack was to be launched east of Taixifeng, he had to be prepared for a full-scale war.
