Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Zhang Xiao had time, he received these envoys and listened to their intentions.  |.

    To these envoys from the surrounding countries of Cuman, Zhang Xiao had a pleasant demeanor and did not show any disgusting arrogance.

    Although, because he is a citizen of the American Song Empire, he has such qualifications.

    Zhang Xiao certainly expressed his great approval for these people's desire to obtain grain trade rights and open up trade channels in Cuman.

    After all, selling the empire¡¯s food to farther places can also earn more profits for the empire.

    This is very beneficial to the development of the empire.

    Therefore, it is impossible for Zhang Xiao to be unhappy.

    It¡¯s just that he can¡¯t make the decision on something like this.  And there is no way to make the decision, after all, he does not have such power.

    What he can do is to promise that after the food trade starts in the future, he can provide the greatest help to the caravan when it passes through Cuman.

    As for matters related to grain trade, we have to go to Cairo to find the governor of the concession, Mabande.

    After all, only the governor, Mabond, has such power and strength.

    You know, most of the empire¡¯s supplies and commodities are piled up in the Cairo Concession.

    "But Zhang Xiao has nothing here.

    Therefore, these are the only promises Zhang Xiao can give.

    But despite this, judging from their contact with Zhang Xiao, the envoys still came to a good conclusion.

    That means that the Song Empire can indeed carry out a large amount of grain trade with them, which can be seen from Zhang Xiao's reaction.

    This is good news for them.

    You must know that because of such an environment, the Arab countries east of Cuman are in very short supply of food.

    After all, the environment in these areas is not as good as other places.

    The land is barren and the products and minerals are scarce.

    The Arabs today are not as wealthy as they were in another time and space, or hundreds of years in the future.

    The wealth now buried beneath their feet.  It's not even known yet.

    It can be said that during this period and for a long time to come, 90% of Arabs¡¯ lives were not very good.

    Basically, they are just hovering around the food and clothing line.

    Therefore, if the Song Empire can sell them a large amount of "affordable" grain, it will be no less than the blessing of the goddess of luck to them.

    No wonder they are very happy.

    Of course, the most important thing is Zhang Xiao¡¯s solemn guarantee, even though he has no say in the matter.  But it can be said with certainty that the issue of grain trade will not be difficult.

    As long as they can set off from Monad Arche to the Cairo Concession and find the governor-general of the empire stationed in the concession, Ma Bond.  Once they explain their purpose of coming, then this matter will be 100% successful.

    It is precisely because of this guarantee from Zhang Xiao that the envoys are so happy.

    Although this matter has not been finalized yet, it is still too early to be happy at this time.

    However, judging from Zhang Xiao¡¯s words and his reaction, there should be nothing wrong at this time.

    In this way, the envoys set off again, starting from Monad Arche and heading to the imperial concession in Cairo.

    And after the envoys left.  Zhang Xiao then focused all his attention on developing the territory and collecting intelligence on the Tatanir and Bukut people.

    As for when he will attack again, it depends on whether there is any good opportunity.

    "However, Zhang Xiao is convinced.  As long as the war continues, he will definitely find another chance.

    This point is beyond doubt.

    At the same time, there is news here in Cuman.  Over time, it also spread back to the Cairo Concession.  When Ma Bonde received the news from Zhang Xiao, he was immediately very excited.

    Because after Zhang Xiao obtained the territory in Kuman, he had a fixed base.

    So.  As long as this base exists, the empire can center on the city of Monad Arche and radiate to the surrounding areas.

    Especially part of the rich oil resources buried under the Cuman Desert has basically fallen into the hands of the empire.

    As long as the empire has the ability to develop the oil underground in Cuman, Mabond can predict that the empire's development will definitely enter the fast lane.

    You know, oil bringsThe profits are definitely greater than the empire's current profits from foreign trade.  It can even be said that as long as oil is exploited, this transaction alone will be enough to support everything needed for the development of the empire.

    All machinery, heavy industrial products, and other things can be purchased in large quantities from the virtual world.

    Rather than like now, the empire has to save a lot of money to buy things from the virtual world.

    Although the empire is very rich now, it is only for the countries in this time and space.

    Because the empire has a lot of gold and silver coins, but in this time and space, it can¡¯t buy anything useful.

    As for the empire, only by purchasing the materials needed for development from the virtual world can the empire develop faster.

    Of course, this does not mean that gold and silver coins are useless at all.

    It¡¯s just that things like gold and silver are not so indispensable.

    ¡°Even as Zhao Hongyu sells a large amount of precious metals to the virtual world, the price of precious metals in the virtual world will fluctuate.

    In the early development of the empire, Zhao Hongyu has sold a lot of gold, which has had a considerable impact on the price of gold in the virtual world.

    Now, the price of gold in the virtual world has dropped from more than 300 to more than 60 yuan in soft girl virtual currency to more than 200 yuan.

    In addition to gold, the empire also has green and pollution-free food, vegetables and abundant seafood that can bring in income.

    However, because of the time and space the Song Empire was located in, as well as technological productivity.  As a result, the profits brought by these things are not very large, at least not compared to gold.

    Therefore, the development of the empire is already somewhat tense.

    This tension is for the virtual world.

    In fact, it is not an exaggeration to describe the gold and silver coins in the imperial treasury as piles like mountains.

    In this era of time and space, it can be said that no country is richer than the Song Empire.

    "However, this money is in Zhao Hongyu's eyes.  If you can't buy something, it's useless.

    If the empire wants to develop, it needs to purchase a large amount of modern machinery.

    Furthermore, the empire also needs to expand the number of Chinese genetic people and purchase massive amounts of building materials and other supplies.

    These can only be accomplished by using some resources in this time and space to exchange them into currency in the virtual world.

    However, now the empire¡¯s purchasing power in the virtual world has shrunk.

    The reason is simple. It is because there are too many materials needed for the development of the empire and they cannot be purchased at all.

    after all.  If everything in the Song Empire was to be modernized, the funds required would be huge.  And at the same time, we must ensure that the number of genetically Chinese people is expanded.

    And cultivating a genetic person of Chinese descent requires a lot of money.

    Therefore, the empire now very much needs to expand new trade products to gain an additional source of income.

    Of course, if the Song Empire continued to exploit resources indiscriminately, it could still survive.

    But the problem is that Zhao Hongyu is a modern person.  And we are deeply aware of the devastating disaster caused by destroying resources.  So of course he couldn't do this, and he also made a series of regulations to limit this disorder for the sake of future generations.

    Therefore, when considering this issue in the development of the empire, we have to be cautious.

    Otherwise.  Just the forestry resources in the Americas, as long as they are cut down and sold to the virtual world regardless of the consequences, they can definitely bring huge profits.

    But, this cannot be done.

    therefore.  The oil in the Arab region has entered the sight of the Imperial Development Department.

    And, Mabond had such an idea at that time.  After sending people to pass the news back along with the ships returning to America, the Ministry of Empire Development immediately became interested after receiving the news.

    But the Empire itself didn¡¯t know at this time that part of Cuman had fallen into the control of the Imperial Army.

    Otherwise, in the short term, the Empire¡¯s Ministry of Local Development will definitely start purchasing a large amount of old oil mining equipment from the virtual world, focusing on Cuman.

    Day by day, the early seventeenth century was still chaotic, ignorant, and dark.

    For humans living in this period, their lives are far less romantic and beautiful than what movies and TV shows show.

    Because the Ottomans gave them a chance??So Mabond, the governor of the Cairo Concession, took advantage of the situation and pushed the empire's power into Cuman, the traditional Arab region.

    Moreover, as the situation changes, the small thoughts between the Song Empire and the Ottomans have greatly affected the situation in the Arab region.

    However, this situation is only the beginning, but there are already signs of something not good.

    And the Ottomans also paid the price little by little for their insidiousness.

    ¡°At least for now, it seems that the party taking advantage belongs to the Song Empire.

    The empire¡¯s tentacles followed Zhang Xiao¡¯s occupation of Monad Arche in Cuman, which means that the empire can reach Central Asia at any time.

    And with the appearance of envoys from the Harimandan Dynasty and Arab tribal forces in Iraq and Iran in the Cairo Concession, this means that the power of the empire has officially appeared in the Arab world and begun to have an impact.

    The Ottomans were very regretful about this.

    They even felt that it was a big mistake to use Cuman in exchange for the huge loan?

    Although the Cuman area is a sterile place, at first the Ottomans now feel that it is really not a good thing to allow the Song Empire to expand its power there.

    However, even if they regret it now, there is nothing they can do to change the situation.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
