- "Oh, I wonder if you have any personal questions?"
As soon as Zhang Tie heard the words of the fat man Amortolan, he understood what this guy was going to do.
Even in the Chinese nation of later generations, things like this kind of abuse of power for personal gain were very common, let alone in this chaotic seventeenth century.
But even if Zhang Tie saw through this fat Ottoman¡¯s plan, he would not expose it and would pretend to be confused.
Since he has selfish motives, that is the best.
People with selfish motives are easier to deal with. I am afraid of those who have no desires and no selfish motives.
When Amortolan saw Zhang Tie asking him, he sorted out his ups and downs, and then said: "The thing is like this" As the fat man told, Zhang Tie kept nodding.
It turns out that because European merchants launched ocean trade with the Song Empire, and it became more and more popular, Song Empire¡¯s products also became popular in the Ottoman Empire, and their products were very popular.
Among the popular products of the Song Empire in the Ottoman Empire, apart from other products, there was only one product that was most popular among the people of the Ottoman Empire.
That is Thirteen Incenses.
Yes, although these descendants of Turks came to Central Asia and established their own country, they still retained some of the things they had hundreds of years ago in their diet.
On the plane, Central Asia is at the junction of Asia, Europe and the Arab world, so they have been impacted by multiple cultures in their diet.
But no matter what the impact, the Ottomans, like the Arabs and Europeans, all like to eat meat very much.
However, what troubles everyone is that in this era, some spices are missing.
Especially precious spices are very expensive and unaffordable.
But now there is a hope, that is, there are low-priced and high-quality spices for sale in the distant Song Empire in America.
This spice is mixed with thirteen spices, synthesized and sold together, and its price is staggeringly low.
And when these spices are used when cooking food, it will make the food more delicious and delicious.
This is great news for people in the Arab region and the Ottoman Empire.
But the problem is that although the European merchants who trade spices from the Song Empire in America buy at very low prices, the prices they sell to the Ottomans or Arabs are very high.
This was unacceptable to the Ottomans and Arabs.
If any of them could cross the Mediterranean and start trade directly with the Song Empire, they would no longer have to be exploited by those European merchants.
And, you can still make a lot of money.
It is with this idea and goal in mind that the fat man Amortolan used some power in the country to secure this trip and set foot on the American continent.
In addition to the thirteen spices, he also needs another spice ¡®cumin¡¯ for barbecue products.
Yes, cumin is not that popular in this era. In Europe, the Ottoman Empire and the Arab world, no one has ever tasted barbecue products made with this seasoning.
¡°Moreover, no one knows where cumin was produced in this era.
Therefore, when the dignitaries of the Arab world and the Ottoman Empire, as well as the common people, tasted barbecue products with cumin, they were immediately conquered by the taste and could no longer let it go.
Amor Tolan was also conquered by the taste, and he also saw unlimited business opportunities.
However, like thirteen incense, cumin is now also controlled by European businessmen.
It can be said that in this world, European merchants control three-quarters of the spice trade.
Originally, the Ottoman Empire thought that this was the case. They had no other way out, so they could only buy high-priced spices from Europeans for the rest of their lives.
But unexpectedly, group fights started on the European continent, and everyone was having a great time.
Therefore, a very rare opportunity appeared in front of the Ottoman Empire.
As long as they work hard, they might be able to take advantage of this time of civil strife in Europe to allow the Ottoman Empire to break the current bottleneck and achieve considerable gains.
In this way, the Ottoman Empire immediately began to start a series of plans targeting the opportunities arising from the chaos on the European continent.
First of all, it is to select people to go to America to explore the road. It is best to reach a trade agreement with the Song Empire.
As for matters on the Atlantic and Mediterranean sides, the Ottoman Empire has to figure out its own solutions.
Therefore, the second step of the Ottoman Empire was to start frequent contacts with Portugal and France while Amor was heading to America.
The reason why the Ottoman Empire contacted Portugal and France is very simple, because the geographical location of Portugal and France is very advantageous. They can be said to have blocked the entrance from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean.
Therefore, these are two countries that the Ottoman Empire cannot offend.
¡°Moreover, Portugal and France currently have little dealings with the church, and the Ottoman Empire is a halal country, and they also have no dealings with the church.
Therefore, the Ottoman Empire thought about it over and over again, and finally, driven by interests, decided to enter into a firm secret agreement with Portugal and France.
The content of this agreement is nothing more than that the Ottoman Empire will go to America through the Mediterranean, and Portugal and France will provide security guarantees.
At the same time, because Portugal and France were at odds with the church states, the Ottoman Empire was also willing to help the two countriesand so on.
¡°In short, everyone is useless and can¡¯t afford to be early.
Zhang Tie has no interest at all in what is happening in Europe and the Ottoman Empire.
They are in chaos, they have died, they have no food to eat, their land is barren and no one is cultivating it, this is none of the American Song Empire¡¯s business.
¡°Besides, isn¡¯t it okay with the chaos over there in Europe?
¡°This is simply great for the American Song Empire.
Otherwise, where would you get so many opportunities?
¡°Look at it now, even the Ottoman Empire has seen an opportunity and now wants to fight for it.
Thinking about it, as long as the Ottoman Empire has the idea of ????struggle on the sea, it will definitely conflict with the Europeans in the future.
By then, even if the Europeans end the chaos on the continent, they will still have to face disputes on the ocean.
Haha, I just can¡¯t take any time off anyway.
¡°Anyway, when we take that time, let the Europeans and the Ottoman Empire fight.
The Song Empire can develop steadily and quietly. When they are all finished, looking back, the Song Empire is a behemoth.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tie felt that it would not be wrong to give a little support to the Ottoman Empire.
"At the very least, if we support them, these people will cause trouble for the Europeans.
Therefore, when Zhang Tie faced Omol Tolan, he basically agreed to some of his things.
In short, Zhang Tie said to Amortolan, as long as you have a ship, I will supply you with whatever you want, but it needs to be paid off one at a time, and there will be no outstanding debts.
For this small request, Amor still agreed.
Debt?
The Amor family will never owe money. This is a very shameful thing.
"If we have to pay for the goods, wouldn't it mean that the Amor family is in trouble?"
So, such a thing is absolutely impossible to happen.
Looking at the big fat man who promised him the promise, Zhang Tie was noncommittal.
¡°Humph, now you don¡¯t owe any debts, but I have a way to make people spit out the money they earn.
The ocean is not as easy to mess with as land.
¡°You Ottomans, if you want to find profits on the ocean, you have to pay tuition.
¡°Europeans are also constantly paying tuition fees.
Zhang Tie is not worried at all that the Ottoman Empire will be uncontrollable after it becomes powerful, nor is he worried that after making the Omortolan family glorious, they will become arrogant.
After talking to the fat man, Zhang Tie told him that he was the host and wanted to have a good meal outside.
For Zhang Tie¡¯s invitation, Omore did not refuse, but readily accepted it.
To be honest, the Ottoman Empire in this era really didn¡¯t have many kinds of food.
Even Europe is the same.
But it was different here in Manhattan. Accompanied by Zhang Tie, they walked on the commercial street of the bustling port terminal, and Amor saw countless food stalls. One after another, one after another.
Many women and children sat in front of the food stalls, served some snacks, and then left after eating in a hurry.
Because Manhattan is close to the sea, food stall owners basically sell seafood.??
However, the types of these seafood are very rich, and with the support of the empire's many seasonings, it goes without saying that the taste of these seafood is great.
Grilled squid, garlic grilled oysters, grilled conch, etc., it makes people think that they are in a modern snack street.
In addition, there are also sellers of fried rice, fried noodles, steamed buns and steamed buns.
Even rice noodles are sold.
You can imagine how much the Chinese genetic people of this era brought by Zhao Hongyu have contributed to Manhattan¡¯s snacks.
Because these snacks are basically impossible to be made by Europeans of this era.
They don¡¯t have such ability.
Therefore, only people of Chinese descent living in Manhattan have such ability.
It¡¯s also thanks to them that the food types in Manhattan have become more diverse.
Not only rice noodles, but also spicy hotpots are sold here in Manhattan, all thanks to the successful cultivation of peppers last year.
The prices of snacks like these are not very high, so they have been welcomed by the public as soon as they were launched.
And those Chinese businessmen who are doing this business have basically made enough money now and invested in land to become farmers.
Europeans cannot do these things.
It is precisely because of this that the genetic people of Chinese origin, through their own efforts, became the first wealthy people in the American Song Empire, making Europeans very envious.
You must know that the Chinese geneticists in the Song Empire became rich not because of Zhao Hongyu.
Therefore, the Europeans in the Song Empire were still very convinced of this.
Because those people from the Chinese ethnic group make their fortunes all by relying on their own hard work and wisdom, but the truth is, haha! (To be continued.
