Su Lin looked serious. It was a good thing that the war was over and losses could be avoided. However, he had already learned about the situation in Peshawar in advance, and the content of the intelligence made him worried.

The three largest nobles in Kushan, the royal Vesutiva family, the Sejia family, which was once known as the largest family, and the Que family, were almost completely wiped out.For Su Lin, who is also a noble, this kind of thing is almost the same as the disaster of destroying the country.

He couldn't be like an ordinary soldier, cheering when he won or rejoicing when he was alive. He wanted to inherit the entire Sulin family, so the easy destruction of the three nobles of Guishuang simply frightened him.

In addition, more news reached his ears, such as the Roman army's participation in the war and the regency, the defeat of the Sasanian cavalry, the burning of the Sega mansion by Azar, and the successive miracles performed by Ahurama, etc., each of which The news is all shocking.

Among them, Su Lin was most concerned about the news about Zhang Bai.

The temple at Kabuli Gate was built overnight, and the bronze statue in the temple was actually higher than the city wall. This must be due to Ahurama's divine power.

A short thatched wall as tall as a person suddenly grew up on the grassland to the east of the city. It stretched neatly almost all the way to the Indus River, blocking the escape path of the Sassanid cavalry. There is no explanation for this except a miracle, and it can definitely be attributed to Ah. Hurama's handiwork.

A mysterious explosion occurred in the north of the city, and Master Taha was blown to pieces. Although most of the people involved remained silent about it, it was said to be related to Ahurama.

The news that concerned Sulin the most was the spacecraft's participation in the war. He inquired in detail about the spacecraft's role during the war, as well as its location and movements at the time.The more he asked, the more he felt that the role of the spaceship was unique.

Experienced generals know that war is mainly about logistics.The spaceship can store a lot of food. At the very least, if the spacecraft is used to transport food and grass, it can ensure that the army has a minimum food supply during the expedition.

Moreover, it was also discovered from this march that the spacecraft can perform high-altitude reconnaissance, has a wide field of vision, and has fast response. With it, a lot of time and energy spent on reconnaissance can be reduced.

The performance of the spaceship in actual combat sounds average.Apart from the psychological intimidation effect of scaring off nomadic horsemen and Sasanian war elephants, there wasn't much else to achieve.But Su Lin thinks these are enough. You must know that whether it is nomadic riders or war elephants, their participation in the war is very expensive, and the maintenance of the spacecraft seems to be much easier.

And regarding the explosion in the north of the city, Su Lin firmly believed that Zhang Bai was responsible, because Zhang Bai had blown up several layers of pagodas in the palace in Ctesiphon before.This effect shows that the actual combat effectiveness of the spacecraft is comparable to that of an army.

In addition to buying a spaceship, he also had to learn explosive skills. Sulin secretly made up his mind.

Before evening, the spaceship that Su Lin was thinking about suddenly arrived in the west of the city.Zhang Bai deliberately sat in No. [-] and came to greet Su Lin and others.

He landed Zero in the open space and parked it between two adjacent camps.Then he asked Chen Zhuo, Zheng Chuo, Huang Xi and others to guard him, and he also invited Su Lin, Zilax and others to enter the palace in the city for a banquet.

Seeing Zhang Bai, Sulin finally became happy. He didn't care about gold, silver, food or trophies. He only cared about the spaceship. If the young Ahurama did not break his promise, the Sulin family's hegemony would be just around the corner.

During the banquet, the Roman Emperor Alexander sat unceremoniously in the host's seat, while Nanhua Laoxian and Zhang Bai, the two national masters, sat on each side.Sitting nearby in Nanhua were Maximinus and Azar, the leaders of the Roman Guards, and Sharma, the general of the Southern Expedition. The person closest to Zhang Bai was Su Lin, and the others were Solomon and Qi. Lacks, Hatley, Sauter et al.

"Master Sulin, please have a drink. Thanks to the help of the Sulin family this time, we are able to live in Peshawar like a fish in water. Thank you very much!" During the dinner, Zhang Bai greeted Sulin.

"Your Excellency Ahurama is too polite. We came late and couldn't help at all." Su Lin replied.

"At least the silver coins you sponsored have been put to great use."

Zhang Bai told Su Lin about how when he first arrived in Peshawar, he opened a medical clinic and a watch shop to get information.It is stated that without this series of trials, it would certainly not have been so successful this time.

Su Lin immediately spoke modestly, but took the opportunity to ask: "So what you promised before...about the spaceship, do you think..."

"No problem, I have sent another spaceship to meet Princess Tolan. The reason why the remaining spaceship did not go is to keep it for you." Zhang Bai said generously.

Su Lin was overjoyed. He originally thought that Zhang Bai would not be happy with such an important thing and would definitely have to wait for a while. Unexpectedly, he got a promise as soon as he came.

"But...!" Zhang Bai added another sentence.

Su Lin's heart sank, thinking that there were still conditions, and immediately asked: "What is Ahurama's order?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal!" Zhang Bai said in a peculiar manner: "There is a shortage of food and money in the capital! Can I borrow some from you? After this, when Her Royal Highness ascends the throne, use the empire's How about paying you back with taxes?"

"I see, then of course I need to help. I wonder how much is needed in total?"

"As long as there is enough supply for the whole city of Peshawar until the princess ascends the throne. Now around Peshawar, in addition to the 2 people we brought from Parthia, there are 2 Southern Expedition Corps and 2 Forbidden Army. These troops Either they came here temporarily, or they lost their food and supplies, and most of them did not make logistical preparations, so there will definitely be a shortage of food."

Su Lin nodded and replied: "Then I will ask my subordinates to calculate the amount of grain required. It can be converted into Parthian silver drama coins or Kushan gold coins to repay the debt. How about half a year later?"

"What about the interest and collateral?" Zhang Bai asked.

"What?" The Sulin family often has a loan business, but Sulin himself never cares about it, because the Sulin family's wealth is too great, and the interest earned from these personal loans is almost negligible.So when Zhang Bai asked about the specific interest and mortgage, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Well... In fact, if the quantity is not large, it can be used as a deposit balance for you." Su Lin was still referring to the spaceship transaction.

"I don't think this is appropriate." Zhang Bai said flatly, "The final payment is the final payment, and we have to make another transaction. This time it is lent to the Kushan Empire."

He thought for a while and then said: "Let's do this! How about using Kushan's market tax collection rights as collateral, with an interest of [-]%?"

Kushan's food consumption for half a year is a large amount. Even a rough calculation requires food worth tens of thousands of drachmaks of silver coins.

Then in half a year, [-]% of the interest would be worth thousands of dramak silver coins, and there would also be tax collection rights as collateral. This is a good condition.Su Lin didn't understand why Zhang Bai offered such a generous deal, and was a little surprised.

However, this was proposed by Zhang Bai himself, so he might as well accept it. There was nothing disrespectful about it. Su Lin decided to agree.

"Since Ahurama takes care of the Sulin family so much, if there is no inconvenience, then I will accept it, okay?"

"Very good! It's such a happy decision. You can calculate the amount as soon as possible, and I will ask the Kushan Empire to make a batch of bonds to give you as a certificate for national debt. If you are tired of this kind of loan business, you can sell them , which can ensure the safety of your principal on the other hand.”

Zhang Bai made a somewhat sudden proposal.
