Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 995 Picky Lu Wan

"Er Wan kneels down, my parents, my mother, my concubine, and my lord are blessed and safe.

Celebrating the double life of both parents, the son once passed by the wooden deer [Male, Turkmenistan, and also a husband, and Hari Maimeng was enthroned here], got a few roots of agarwood, made three longevity screens, and asked someone to draw Chun Zhong Yin, the viewers are all envious!
My son's body is as usual, and he has experienced so many things along the way that he has no time to give for several days, but he has also gained a lot.

If you are enlightened and enlightened..."

Lu Qian smiled and looked at the family letter sent by the fifth Lu Wan. Although this kid has the blood of the Fang family, he is no worse than the old nine when it comes to writing.

What Lu Qianwan, who was just smiling, didn't expect was that the fifth child who was praised by him just now had a change of taste.

"Don't want the Fertile Crescent?"

"Arid climate, little rainfall, insufficient water resources..."

"Can I not know the virtues of the Fertile Crescent?" In the era he traveled through, take the Kurdish region of Iraq as an example. The latter was originally the most important agricultural area in Iraq, with a mild climate and fertile soil. Known as the granary of Iraq.It supplies about half of Iraq's wheat, barley and various vegetables.

But when Lu Qian crossed, that area could not be said to supply the whole country.About two-thirds of the region's onions and tomatoes and more than one-third of its potatoes are imported.A large number of fruits, such as oranges, bananas and apples, also come from abroad.

The Fertile Crescent has long been a misnomer.

In later generations, whether it is Iraq at the east end or Syria at the west end, the agricultural development is not very good.But now, although the agricultural development of the Fertile Crescent is much stronger than that of later generations, Lu Wan still looks down on its eastern half.

Compared with Iraq, he is more interested in later generations of Turkey.The attack on the Balkan Peninsula from Asia Minor made Lu Wan high-spirited!
As for the fact that his kingdom is cut off from the land route to the east, there is obviously still the Caspian Sea.Coupled with the northern foothills of the Alborz Mountains, which is the coastal plain at the southern end of the Caspian Sea, there are plains and humid climate areas that were rare in later Persia, which are very suitable for the development of agriculture.

Besides, although the Caucasus Mountains are high and dangerous, and cut off the connection between the Eastern European Plain and the Tianfang World, it is not impossible to walk through.

Crossing the Caucasus Mountains is the only way to pass through the northern section of the Silk Road. Traditionally, merchants in the north will choose to reach Azerbaijan through the ancient city of Derbent on the coast of Dagestan, or choose to pass through the numerous Ossetia regions. Mountain passes lead directly to Tbilisi, or along the narrow Black Sea coastline to Abkhazia.

Anyway, Lu Wan, who puts his future "business" center in Asia Minor and the Balkan Peninsula, is not worried that his feudal country is really isolated from his mother country, and he really looks down on Iraq.

He didn't have a big pursuit of the Mesopotamian Plain, and what he saw in his eyes was more the coastal area at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea.Those places are separated from the large areas in the east—Iraq, Syria, etc.—by mountain ranges.From north to south, first the Oman Mountains, then the Alawi Mountains, then the Lebanon Mountains, and finally the Jordan River.

As for the large tracts of land east of this dividing line, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.I only think it will be a drag on the closure of the country!
Lu Qian was very angry and funny, he was angry because this kid had such a high vision, he couldn't even look down on Iraq at this time; he was laughing because this kid had such a good vision, he swallowed up the best parts of the Fang area that day .

Later generations of Israel and Palestine will weep bitterly when they hear this.It's a pity that they are beating their lives and beating them to death. It's not as good as Lu Wu yelling.

However, today's coastal areas in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea have been occupied by a series of pocket crusader kingdoms. In history, the Green Green Society and the Monotheism have fought around these sites for 200 years.Until the Mongols rushed in, directly lifted the table, smashed everything, and forcibly stopped both sides.

"Your Majesty..." Fang Jinzhi came very quickly. If she didn't have to maintain her manners, she would have wanted to run away.

When Lu Qian told her what happened, Fang Jinzhi also had a surprise on his face, but he didn't take it seriously at all. "The world is so vast, Wulang will give it up if he gives it up. Don't want the ones in the east, but just get them in the west."

"It's easy to say, can you take it with your mouth?"

"The little girl's mouth is not very powerful, of course Goro can rely on the king!"

……

In the city of Baghdad, the traces of war have not disappeared, but the dissipated gunpowder smoke has restored prosperity here.

Lu Qi's army wiped out the main force of the Seljuk's navy and swept the Persian Gulf, which is equivalent to opening the connection between Humos Port, Enze Coast, Sohar Port and other places and Baghdad.

Pieces of materials needed by the city were transported here by ships.

From food to fine wine, from ordinary linen cotton clothes to gorgeous silk jewelry, and the boatloads of spices, and the boatloads of sulfur.

The mining of the latter has not yet fully resumed, but Muktafi would rather empty out all the sulfur in his inventory, and go all out to show his goodwill to China.

Song Qing looked at the caliph in front of him, and a very complicated emotion was stirring in his heart.

Muktafi in front of him is definitely a character. After learning about the whole Battle of Baghdad, even he wants to say "admiration" to Muktafi!
Under that circumstance, he could abandon his imperial palace and bring his supporters back to the east city, which is more convenient for defense.And with only an army with unbearable combat effectiveness, he really defended the city under the onslaught of the superior forces of the Seljuks.

Song Qing thought he was inferior.

But even such a character has to lick his face to flatter him, not because of Song Qing's own intelligence, but because of the powerful Lu Qi behind him.

It is precisely because of Lu Qi's support that he can have a face-to-face conversation with Muktafi and be regarded as a distinguished guest.Only then can I look down on Muktafi with the eyes of a 'god'.Because he knew that the other party's efforts were destined to be in vain.

No matter how beautiful a sandcastle is on the beach, it can't stop the waves from washing away.

Song Qing, who had received Emperor Lu's order a long time ago, looked at Muktafi in front of him, wasn't he just looking at Sandcastle.No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compare to Emperor Lu's thought...

This feeling and perception made him consciously "higher" himself.Look at Muktafi like a turtle in a urn.

"We can promise to borrow 100 million gold coins from His Majesty to purchase armaments and various necessary materials..." But it must be purchased from China.

Accumulate small rivers to form rivers and seas.Everything has to be done step by step!
In Song Qing's mind, he knew very well that Emperor Lu wanted a fertile crescent, but everything had to penetrate slowly, so as not to hurt the friendly "feelings" between them, right?
First use the means of borrowing to open the way for the large-scale influx of Lu Qi's merchants, and then some things can continue.

Although this method is different from the method Lu Qi used in Korea and Japan, it is not without similarities.He is very familiar with Song Qing!
