The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter six hundred and seventy-ninth: enviable interests

What happened this time was also recorded very clearly by Lu Duan in the book "Travel to the Tang Dynasty" compiled by him. Seeing the Tang people conquering this land called Egypt, Lu Duan did not leave, but got off the ark and took him with him.

Several followers stayed in the Tang army to observe and write notes. The Tang people naturally had no objection to this and allowed Lu Duan to stay in the army, but warned him not to leave the army camp.

Go out to avoid accidents. As for the Tang people, even though they only have an army of 10,000 people, they are not worried at all about the possible actions and preparations of the Fatimid dynasty. In addition to routine vigilance and patrols, the Tang people continue to

Preparations were made and busy building a port terminal and some materials. At the same time, another two thousand troops were divided to capture the coastal line of the Sinai Peninsula.

The purpose is naturally to better and more conveniently control the Suez Canal when the Suez Canal is dug in the future. At the same time, a small naval fleet also crossed the land blocking the Red Sea and entered the Red Sea with the help of the wizards on board.

.They went down the Red Sea and captured the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula.

A series of islands at the end of the sea, and then this small fleet set sail again, seizing all a series of islands in the Red Sea, and at the mouth of the Red Sea, it seized Djibouti and part of Yemen that controlled the Red Sea, and also seized

Socotra is an isolated island in the eastern Horn of Africa.

When the flags symbolizing the Tang people were raised from the above-mentioned places, it was also announced that these places would become the territory of the Tang people from now on. At the same time, the Fatimid dynasty’s envoys came to the mainland of the Tang people and saw

The kings and ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

In the splendid Peony Palace, the envoys of the Fatimid Dynasty could not say a decent harsh word. They were frightened by the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, so they obediently signed the treaty and 'sold' the above-mentioned area to the Tang Dynasty for a price of 100 yuan.

Hundreds of gold coins.

After Lu Duan learned about it, he felt extremely compassionate and sympathetic to the country called Fatima. The vast land was sold at such a low price. And they had such a large army and population, but they could not face a mere ten thousand people.

The incoming enemies and a few ships did not dare to fight. Lu Duan no longer paid attention to the future of this country, because it was already a destined outcome. It is unreasonable for such a spineless country to continue to exist in the world.

Yes, his demise is doomed.

In fact, after the signing of the treaty, this matter aroused unprecedented heated discussions in the vast Mediterranean area. Countries were discussing heatedly, and the Tang people blatantly provoked a 'war', although this 'war' was on a large scale.

It was so small, and the ending time was so short. However, the triggers and speculations about this incident were

Countries are vying to discuss this. Because, in their view, the Tang people did not capture more fertile lands, but instead captured some worthless lands and islands. In their view, this was so unwise. Because those lands,

Some are simply worthless, either with few or no people, or extremely poor and backward.

Just when they were thinking about it and couldn't figure it out, the Tang Dynasty signed a treaty with the Fatimid Dynasty again. The content roughly meant that the Tang Dynasty would open a canal project directly to the Red Sea, and the workers digging the river would have to pay their dues from France.

Recruitment of the Tima Dynasty. Such explosive news shocked the vast Europe, and as time went by, this explosive news began to spread to more distant Northern Europe and Central Asia. There are far-sighted goals.

People of light naturally know that once this canal is successfully excavated, the Tang people who control this canal will control a trade road rich in infinite wealth. In addition to countries as far away as Central Asia, they may be able to travel to China through the Silk Road

In addition to trade, now there will be another country that will sail directly to China from the sea, purchase silk, tea and porcelain directly from China, and then sell them to Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

All countries are jealous. Once such a hugely profitable canal is successful, they will sit back and watch the Tang people sleep on gold every day. By then, the Tang people and all their citizens will be able to enjoy clothes made of silk.

That porcelain comes from China. Although, the price of porcelain today is a bit lower than that of silk, because the Tang people also came from China.

Over the years, they have successfully picked up the skill of making porcelain. Although compared to the expensive porcelain from distant China, the Tang people's porcelain is cheaper than the Chinese porcelain because they are located in Europe. However, the cheapness also affects the porcelain from China.

For comparison with porcelain, if there is no Chinese porcelain, the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty is actually not cheap at all.

For exquisite porcelain, many countries naturally want to obtain porcelain and the technology to make porcelain. However, the people of the Tang Dynasty strictly guarded against the manufacturing of porcelain and many advanced technologies, and outsiders had no way of obtaining it. Just like porcelain.

Manufacturing technology is in the near future

It was only known to the West in the ancient times. At present, the Tang people treat the manufacturing of porcelain and various advanced craft goods in a conservative and protective manner, just like the manufacturing of glass in Venice. Outsiders cannot steal it from that strictly guarded place.

The technology and workers involved in making glass.

Now, the news that the Suez Canal will be dug is like a spark, igniting the whole of Europe. Envoys from many countries have begun to visit the Tang Dynasty. They also want to get a share of the canal digging process. It is not that they do not want to form a coalition and wait for the canal.

Seize it after it is opened to navigation. In fact, it is the one that has been there all day long.

They didn't have the courage to see the giant dragon wandering in the Mediterranean. Although this giant dragon with three heads spent most of its time hiding in the waters of the Tang Dynasty to rest and protect the place. However, even if the giant dragon went out, they would not

If they dare to use troops, they really have doubts about whether they can defeat the Tang people at this stage.

The Tang people were obviously unwilling to deal with these guys who wanted a piece of the pie at first. However, after careful consideration, they decided to give them some leftovers. Although they were strong, their population was their weakness.

.Even if the domestic army

No matter how hard he fights, it is impossible to overthrow the world, and Jiang Ning is naturally indifferent to the fights between these mortals. Because, before long, this world will be swallowed up by the world he controls. The strong people born in this world will

It will also be used by him.

The people of the Tang Dynasty obviously didn't know what Jiang Ning was thinking. For this reason, they thought that instead of offending everyone, it would be better to try to attract allies for themselves. In this way, no matter how the future descendants degenerate, if outsiders want to rob

Canal, first of all, they need to ask a large number of their allies whether they agree.

And they can naturally refuse them all now and monopolize the huge profits of the canal. But in this way, they will offend the whole world. Although they are not afraid. But what if they unite? Although they are very powerful, many ants can also

Kill the elephant! You are not afraid of one-on-one, or many-on-many, but you are afraid of being beaten by everyone!

However, it is impossible for the Tang people to benefit so much from these people in vain. So, it is necessary to blackmail these people. If you want to participate in the construction of the canal, you want to become a shareholder, right? No problem. You must pay for the construction of the canal first and carry out the work in the future.

Maintenance fees! If not, then sorry, you cannot get the benefits of the canal for nothing.

Naturally, all countries knew that this was an act of blackmailing them by the Tang Dynasty, but if they wanted a share of the benefits, they would naturally have to bear the cost of building the canal.

Therefore, a staggering amount of money gathered in the land of the Tang people like mountains and seas. These countries that paid money will be able to share a number of benefits after the canal is successfully opened to navigation. However, the biggest leader was taken by the Tang people.

Exclusively, the profits shared are only a fraction. But, even so, this is huge profit.

It is conceivable that once the canal is opened to navigation, it will completely change the trade pattern between the East and the West, and will also accelerate the exchanges between Eastern and Western civilizations more thoroughly.

At this point, the trajectory of the entire world has completely changed, heading towards an even more unpredictable and unknown zone.
