Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 986

That night, in the small flower hall of Zhang Mansion.

There were no outsiders, Zhang Xiaochun and Li Guang had a private conversation, the words touched those princes who were still in the sergeant academy, the words were quite embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, you are as powerful as the Spring and Autumn Period. Why are you so anxious? Just look at it ten years later, and today's young people will still be able to make great achievements." It was not easy to become the prince's teacher, but in the end, all of them have already Out first.Zhang Xiaochun said.

Li Guang laughed. "Although His Majesty is a wise king and a wise master, all of his sons and descendants are extraordinary. If more characters are allowed to enter, I am afraid that Your Majesty will also feel a headache."

"There are no outsiders at this time, so I will tell the truth to my elder brother. Among all the princes of His Majesty, I respect the third prince the most. It is not because my niece entered the third prince's house, but because the events of that day are straightforward. Very. The third prince is resolute and promising, kind and caring for the people, and more responsible. Elder brother should also be aware of this, the pressure he endured that day was no worse than that of younger brother." Li Guang said very bluntly.Although Lu Qian's princes are all talented in civil and military affairs, and they have not shown any bad deeds, but Lu Chuan has actually come into contact with them, and he believes in his own eyes.

"My brother is not in Central Earth, and I have no close contact with the princes, but I have heard a rumor or two. What do you think of the third prince?"

Zhang Xiaochun was taken aback by this question, but Li Guang's inclination was also within his expectation.

The matter of Li Guang was let go by Emperor Lu if it could be understated. It might be that the third prince was not there to help.

Is it because he is far away from the capital that he is asking this question now?
"Then tell the truth. The temper of the third prince..." How should I put it?According to Zhang Xiaochun, it was somewhat impulsive.

"Brother, can you tell me the specific reason for the third prince's impulsive personality?"

"It can be said there. Overseas thousands of miles away, I only heard a few words occasionally, good or bad. But since my virtuous brother values ​​the third prince so much, it must be because he has something special."

"Elder brother has been away from Jinling for too long, so I have prepared some gifts for elder brother to pass the time when he has nothing to do." Li Guang took out a booklet from his cuff as he spoke. Small print.This is also knowing that there are eyes to wear in the world, otherwise Zhang Xiaochun would be useless to use them.

"This is……"

"These are some small things. Anyone with a heart can collect them from childhood to adulthood. Some of the above things may seem childish now, but they are not old at the age of three." Li Guang smiled happily.

The third prince never put on a show, and even dared to stare at Emperor Lu when he was annoyed, but he always did things in a reasonable manner.He felt more and more suitable for him.

……

Then turn your gaze to the sky.

There have been secret contacts between Lu Qi and Baghdad many times.Both have a feeling that the conclusion of the initial agreement is getting closer.

But it is hard to say whether it is dry firewood meeting raging fire, or hungry wolf meeting treacherous embarrassment.

Anyway, in recent days, more and more sulfur, copper and iron have flowed into Sohar Port from the Fertile Crescent.

Sulfur is the largest traded item, and the Fertile Crescent is rich in sulfur minerals.Lu Qi cannot know now that the Fertile Crescent's sulfur reserves are enough to rank among the top ten in the world.But the sulfur produced here is large in quantity and low in price, which is what Lu Qijun only dreamed of.

While the saltpeter mine can be mined from Tianzhu, the sulfur mine can be mined from Tianfang. This is simply a blessing from God and will greatly reduce the transportation pressure on Lu Qi's navy.It also provides great convenience for Lu Qi to lead the entire Tianfang world in the future.

But not all the Seljuks left behind in the Fertile Crescent were blind.They can ignore the whereabouts of such a small caliph court scholar as Qaim, but they will not turn a blind eye to the increasing smuggling in the Fertile Crescent.

Sulfur is also a controlled item among the Seljuks.

"Dear Special Envoy, we meet again!" As soon as he entered the door, Kaim bowed deeply to Song Qing, showing respect.

He knew very well that with the deepening of the friendship between Baghdad and Lu Qi, Song Qing, a Chinese, held much more weight in the Caliph's heart than he did.Now Kaim only has a dog, and he wants to feel proud, and he will wait until the Abbasid dynasty is established.

"My friend, you are welcome. Please take a seat." Song Qing was very kind, without putting on airs, and let him sit down after beckoning.But Kaim murmured in his heart, the reason why he came today was to apologize for what happened earlier.Song Qing's friendly attitude only reminded him of the smiling tiger. "We had a meeting just now, and I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"What's the matter? I can't even admire you for your hard work in the affairs of the country. How can there be complaints?" Kaim said quickly.

Song Qing had a smile on his face, and Kaim's heart skipped a beat when he saw it. "Then do you know what we discussed at the meeting?"

"Do you know how much trouble our army has been caused by the embargo of sulfur?"

"Because of your sulfur, we have recently stopped sulfur transportation, and now all plans have been disrupted..."

Song Qing evolved from a smiling tiger to a real tiger in just a few sentences.

Of course, there are still many traces left on him by the old days. He is just a small fan, with a very good attitude towards people, never putting on airs, and even if he is as fierce as a tiger on his rich face, there is a faint expression of "harmony makes money". of joy.

There was a moment of silence in the conference hall, Song Qing suppressed the ferocity on his face, slowly picked up the teacup, and blew a few sips gently.

"Is your envoy here here about the export of sulfur? I wonder what His Majesty the Caliph has to say?"

The armor, bows and crossbows that Muktafi urgently needed were all in Lu Qi's hands.Trading sulfur, copper and iron for the armored bows and crossbows in Lu Qi's hands is a typical "industrial scissors difference".

"Yes, Your Excellency." Kaim nodded hastily, "I have written a letter of love for our country's situation before, and His Majesty the Caliph is also deeply sorry, and please understand our country's difficulties..."

It was not easy for them to run a dog dog under the surveillance of the Seljuks.

"Hey, but the big trouble you have caused is too great..." The wry smile on Song Qing's face was not fake.The source of sulfur was cut off, and the recent production of medicinal powder on the Enze Coast and Humos Port came to a standstill.But the fact is that the warehouses on Enze Coast and Humos Harbor have long been filled with enough medicinal powder.After all, among the three required items, the proportion of sulfur is the lowest. "This happened too suddenly. Suddenly our source of sulfur was cut off. The impact this has had on us is indescribable..."

Although Song Qing's tone was very gentle and he just complained, Kaim felt a little terrified when he heard it, and his back felt a little chilly.

Who made Baghdad count on landing Qi now?

Moreover, relying on smuggling transactions, the caliph has already had thousands of armor suits in his hands, Chinese-style armor suits, which greatly enhanced his strength.

If this situation cannot be resolved in time, it is hard to say whether it will have an impact on the signing of the cooperation agreement between the two parties.After all, Baghdad can't even solve this "small matter", how can Lu Qi 'see' the strength of the Caliphate?Some conditions and figures of the agreement will definitely be changed.

"My country's affairs have caused Lu Qi to suffer. I'm really sorry!" Kaim stood up and bowed deeply to Song Qing again, "It's just that the current situation really shouldn't alarm the Seljuks. Your Excellency Haihan."

"Be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient." Song Qing was still smiling, and waved his hand to signal Kaim to sit down again. "We fully understand your country's difficulties! The overall interests of the two sides are the most important. In the current situation, His Majesty the Caliph cannot act rashly."

"With a sincere attitude, we are willing to continue to provide assistance and support to His Majesty the Caliph within our capacity in accordance with the previous agreement..."

The turning point came so suddenly.
