Chapter 11: Royal Imperial Mail
The great Tang Empire, the flourishing of culture, art, science, trade, military affairs, diplomacy. The ability to find common points of interest allowed to increase the territory of influence and interests from the Great Asian Plains to the Arctic Ocean. Trading is the key to success.
Transfer of knowledge and technologies. The Sogdians, Bactrians, Hindus, Sighs, Panjabis, traders and merchants had their trading quarters in Chang-An, on the border of the lands of the northern barbarians and Hans. Money poured in incessantly.
The return outweighed any risk. From trading with the Tang Empire, the merchants received a profit of 1000%! It justified any risks. The Tang Empire, unable to defend its lands, like subsequent empires, lost their vassal lands one by one.
New power has arrived! The power of technology, the power of big money, new armies, with new weapons, which eventually became a trendsetter all over the world! Any attempt to resist this force ended in failure.
Centuries have passed. Traders came to the Great Central Asian Plains again, they are the descendants of the merchants of the Great Tang Empire.
Despite the changes in the strategies of presence in the regions of interest of third countries, the merchants of the Great Silk Road returned again.
The two cousins did not know that they would be transported to the spurs of the Eastern Himalayas, the Sivalik Hills. The cave was on the hills, before there was an adit where gold was mined. But the vein dried up, it was abandoned.
But sometimes on rare days when it snowed in the Dun and the air temperature reached minus 4 degrees Celsius, then the highlanders who lived in the city park and pitched tents hid in this cave from snow and cold. There were underground springs in this cave, which appeared much later, when this mine was abandoned.
About 10,000 homeless people lived on the street in Dun.
The warm climate made it possible to live outside. Dun is an amazing historical city, the Anglizi had their residences here back in the 19th century. Including here was the office of etymological intelligence, described in the novel "Kim.
The city is modern, with more than 35 research institutes and a couple of hundred thousand inhabitants. From the south, the entrance to the city was covered by 5 powerful checkpoints and from the north by a tank school.
A dozen or two tanks from the distant 60s of the 20th century were hiding in the tropical forest. So getting out of the cave was not that difficult, a path led from it down the slope, through woody vegetation, these were Sal trees.
28 meters high and 1 meter in diameter. Typical tropical vegetation. Shrubs. The cousins did not yet understand that they were in a completely different country, in a different era. End of the 19th century. Going down the hill, they came to a crossroads. At the bottom of the hill stood a ramshackle house, where it was written in red letters "Royal Imperial Mail".
In their country Small-An, such inscriptions were also like an advertisement for a new coffee shop. Therefore, the cousins did not pay any attention to it.
