- Amortolan was shocked by the bustling Manhattan Pier.
At the same time, I am also very envious.
He didn¡¯t know when the ports of the Ottoman Empire would be so prosperous.
If the port of his motherland can be so prosperous, then their national power will be greatly enhanced.
However, because their only access to the sea, the Mediterranean, was controlled by Europeans, the Ottoman Empire had no way to conduct a maritime strategy.
In fact, this is an era of maritime supremacy, and the far-sighted people in the Ottoman Empire have long seen this.
However, the Ottoman Empire's naval power and warship construction technology were still far behind those of the Europeans, so they had no way to compete with the Europeans.
Therefore, the Ottoman Empire¡¯s fleet could only watch as it was trapped in the Eastern Mediterranean and unable to enter the Atlantic Ocean.
Look at those Europeans, they opened up routes to the East and explored the American continent, which brought them a lot of glory and benefits.
On the other hand, the Ottoman Turkish Empire could only live on one-third of an acre of its own land.
If they are not jealous, it is impossible.
But now they have an opportunity. Now that European countries are involved in the melee, there is no way to worry about and suppress their Ottoman Empire.
If it is done well, maybe the Ottoman Empire will have a territory that enters the Atlantic Ocean, and then start their maritime age.
It has to be said that these people in the Ottoman Empire have some vision.
The current chaos in Europe is really a good opportunity for them.
Such good opportunities don¡¯t come around all the time.
However, if the Ottoman Empire itself wants to realize their ideals and goals, there are many thresholds that must be crossed.
First, they need to solve the food crisis that has begun to emerge in the country.
Originally, Egypt was a country that supplied food, and Egypt was conquered by the Ottoman Empire and became a vassal of the Ottoman Empire.
However, for some unknown reason in Egypt, a plague broke out in the past two years and there were natural disasters. Food production decreased for three consecutive days.
Therefore, the Ottoman Empire was simply unable to obtain food from the Egyptians to alleviate their domestic crisis.
And Europe can¡¯t buy food, which makes the crisis even more serious.
The Ottoman Empire may have wanted to buy grain from merchants, but those evil-minded merchants suddenly raised the price of grain very high. Even though the Ottoman Empire had some money, they were frightened by the price of grain. .
In the end, they had to come to America to see if there was any hope here.
Of course, there is plenty of food here in the Americas, so you can get as much as you want.
A lot of land around several major cities in the Song Empire has been reclaimed.
And last year, there was already a harvest.
"It's just that Zhang Tie will not sell this kind of food to Europeans, because this food is not sprayed with any pesticides, is not genetically modified, and is absolutely pollution-free.
So, everyone decided to keep the food for their own consumption, and at most sell some of it to the virtual world.
You must know that these foods have been inspected by the virtual world. Because they are not contaminated, they are absolutely green foods, and their selling prices are very high.
This can be regarded as a major source of wealth for the Song Empire in the virtual world.
But someone wants to ask, where did the people in the Song Empire and the food sold to those Europeans come from.
The reason is very simple, genetically modified rice or other grains.
¡°And the grain sold to Europeans was also mixed with some poisonous rice or polished old rice.
Because these things are cheap, it is easy to contact people in the Huaxia Kingdom in the virtual world to buy them, which saves trouble.
??According to Professor Liu who is far away in Ontario, this is to use these grains to "bless and change" generations of people in Europe.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The Americas provided a large amount of these "added" grains to the Europeans, and for this they were very grateful to the American Song Empire.
??Even, they regard the Song Empire as the embodiment of justice, truth, goodness and beauty, and a great good person.
It is pitiful that these Europeans do not know the high -level thoughts of the Song Empire, otherwise they would not thank the Song Empire so.
Originally, the target is only Europeans.
Now it seems that the Ottoman Empire will also join in.
There is nothing difficult about this matter.
"Anyway, if you want to 'bring benefit', then let's do it together.
Zhang Tie quickly made countless twists and turns in his mind.
To be honest, Zhang Tie doesn¡¯t have a good impression of the Ottoman Empire.
Although his culture is not very good, he also knows what the Ottoman Empire is like.
His ancestors were the Turks who often harassed the mainland of China in history.
Since the defeat of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing have finally defeated them.
These generals of the Han Dynasty beat the Turks until they fled westward.
In the end, the Turks finally managed to survive.
It was such a group of guys who were beaten by the Han Dynasty until they vomited blood. They actually ran to Europe and beat the Europeans until they were miserable.
It was even called the ¡®Whip of God¡¯ by Europeans, leaving a record in history.
At this point, after fleeing, the Turks established a country near the Black Sea.
And after years of expansion, their power is now very powerful.
Eventually, the Turks established a country, and its name was called the Ottoman Empire, which was later changed to Turkey.
Zhang Tie still knows this history.
Since they are not good things, Zhang Tie will not feel any psychological obstacles if he supplies them with 'added' grain.
Eat, eat, change your genes and benefit all mankind.
"Oh, it turns out it's for food. I wonder how much your country plans to buy?"
Zhang Tie showed a look of understanding and then asked.
Amortolan and his escorting warriors have been deeply shocked by the prosperity of the Manhattan Pier.
Because the more they walked towards the street outside the pier, the more lively they felt.
These were never seen at the docks of the Ottoman Empire.
"A lot, we need a lot of food." Amortolan did not intend to hide anything from Zhang Tie on this issue. And even if he intends to hide some problems, Zhang Tie will not fool him.
Now that there is war in Europe, it will definitely have an impact on some surrounding countries.
?We are all understanding people and there is no way we can hide this.
Rather than hiding it temporarily and making people hate you in the future, it¡¯s better to tell it truthfully and give people a good impression.
Zhang Tie nodded.
"We can talk about this matter. Anyway, Europeans also buy large quantities of grain from us and transport it back to their countries. Since you also want to buy it, there is nothing wrong with it."
People were coming and going on the pier, and most of them were European laborers carrying sacks.
Needless to say, what they were carrying on their shoulders was the grain purchased by many European businessmen from Manhattan.
Because of the war in Europe, the sales of some luxury goods produced in Manhattan have plummeted.
Fortunately, Manhattan doesn¡¯t make any money from those things, not to mention that in the past two years, the Song Empire has already made almost enough money.
Because the war has worsened, food is much more profitable than luxury goods.
Therefore, businessmen from Europe began to focus on the export of grain from the Americas.
As long as the grain purchased here in the Americas is shipped to Europe, it will be sold at five times the price without any problem.
It can be seen that the food shortage in Europe is now to what extent.
The triangular trade route from Europe to Africa and then to the Americas has been stabilized, and because it is profitable, more and more people have joined the ocean trade.
The empire is not yet ready to join the battle for ocean hegemony, so these profits should be made by European merchants first.
After all, the situation on the Song Empire's side has also stabilized.
And the shipyard has just started building a new batch of warships. Even if these warships are built, they will not be able to join the battle for ocean hegemony immediately.
They need to consolidate the sea areas around the empire first, and then they can start conquering the oceans after building more warships and having sufficient military support.
It¡¯s just that this requires a process.
This process will take at least two to three years.
"We have hereRice (poisonous rice, polished old rice), soybeans (genetically modified) and corn (genetically modified), which one do you plan to buy? "
During the chat, Zhang Tie had already led Amor Tolan and his party to the office of the Ministry of Commerce located at the junction of the dock port and the commercial street.
The architectural style of this office is obviously Baroque style, full of strong French sentiment.
The interior furnishings and facilities are all French-style.
Because we have become allies with the French, many merchants will travel between the empire and France, so it is very easy to get some furniture and other things from France.
¡°Besides, there are many craftsmen in Manhattan who came here to make a living after going bankrupt, so building such a French Baroque style house is simply too easy.
Even the cost of materials is saved, because there are so many materials here.
Here, there are many businessmen from various countries waiting to handle matters.
After Zhang Tie and his party arrived, the clerks saluted Zhang Tie one after another.
Those businessmen also saluted him with respect.
For those businessmen, Zhang Tie is not an ordinary person, and he is someone they absolutely cannot provoke.
Because he holds the empire¡¯s foreign trade power and is the empire¡¯s minister of commerce.
If you offend him, then you don¡¯t have to hang out with the empire anymore.
Amor Tolan also felt people¡¯s respect for this young man named ¡®Zhang Tie¡¯.
He knew that he must have a good relationship with this young man, both for Osman and himself. (To be continued.
