Trading safer up to Tarim Basin (110-130 BC)
by Steven C. ultimate writer-in-cheif

 

Recently our wonderful ruler, Wudi, has sent our military to conguer land to the West of China all the way up to the Tarim Basin. This was done so that the Silk road trade route, used to trade with the western world, is safer for caravans and merchants to trade and make a living with the western world. This is good news for all of China, and should impact our daily lives for the better. Yet some experts are asking the question: will this raise our taxes? The answer is thankfully no, the military is being paid its normal salary to protect the newly aquired region and our government officials are saying there will be no negative affects on the public. One expert says, "Because this taking of land was so easy, we barely used anything up, so almost no money was used,"(Sgt. T. Swan). This report form a soldier that was there when that land was taken confirms that shouldn't affect us. This action is an important action for China because it will allow us to connect and interact with the western part of the world, where we can gain culture and inventions and new ideas that will make our lives and our nation better.
