Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter 681: : Annals of History

The vigorous Suez Canal operation began. And Lu Duan also observed the excitement surrounding this unsuccessful canal during the first period of time, as the Tang people forced the Fatimid dynasty to cede the land and a series of squeezing that made Lu Duan seem incomparably excessive. After the treaty. On the contrary, Lu Duan was not very interested in the canal called Suez. After learning that it would take at least a generation to complete the canal, Lu Duan was relieved. Because, during this period, he was worried about the successful completion of the canal. So, will those barbarians who are like wolves and tigers flock to the Song Dynasty? The prosperity of the pirate industry in the Mediterranean is another reason why Lu Duan is worried. But now, all of this no longer exists. Because Da Song has twenty years to be able to make all preparations. The Song Dynasty was also different from the previous dynasties. Its overseas trade was extremely developed, although their merchant ships rarely traveled so far to trade. However, I can't bear the whole world's desire for silk, porcelain and tea!

Many foreign merchants came to Da Song by ship to trade. They brought many exotic specialties, seeds and materials to Da Song for trade. Purchasing silk, porcelain, and tea in the Song Dynasty, while peddling the goods they brought. After coming and going back and forth, I made huge profits that were eye-watering.

Compared with the difficulty of the Silk Road on the road, although there are risks involved in sea trade, it is undoubtedly much smaller than the road. The prosperity of the Song Dynasty also mostly comes from its highly developed trading industry. Nowadays, the silk, porcelain and tea brought by Lu Duan Europa and his party have aroused high enthusiasm throughout Europe.

They longed too much for this exquisite silk and porcelain, and this silk-producing country is actually the same ethnic group as the dragons that entrenched in the Mediterranean. And Lu Duan also came to Europa on a Tang people’s ship, which means that the Tang people knew how to get to that mysterious silk kingdom. Therefore, after the Tang people occupied part of the territory of the Fatimid dynasty silently and declared the opening of the Suez Canal. Also from this, Europa, which is extremely enthusiastic, was completely ignited.

The countries that wanted to participate in the sharing of the soup, were caught by the opportunity of the Chinese People's Congress, and got a huge amount of money. And these money changed hands and stayed in the Tang Dynasty. They used this infinite amount of money to purchase domestic materials for use by the canal workers. Moreover, it must be maintained continuously for 20 years. It is conceivable that in twenty years, the national power of the Tang Dynasty will be so strong.

For this reason, after Lu Duan knew about this, he praised with emotion, "This is a thorough and complete plan!" He was shocked to pay for the Tang people's kidnapping of the world, and sit back and reap the profits and strengthen his own strategy. At the same time, I was a little discouraged, because in the Song Dynasty, no one saw that trade can still be played. With the help of countries to strengthen oneself, it is much stronger than using swords and simple agricultural methods.

Using money to continuously stimulate the country, all these money flowed into the pockets of the Tang Dynasty once and again, one in and one out. However, Tang Ting paid more taxes, and with continuous construction of domestic infrastructure, this already prosperous country prospered again. For this reason, Lu Duan couldn't imagine what Tang Guo would be like in twenty years from now.

After recording all this in his book You Tang Yaolue, Lu Duan returned to the Ark and returned home with tens of thousands of war horses. The Chinese people followed closely, building various islands in the Red Sea and Socotra Island in the east of the Horn of Africa. Build some ports and military fortress facilities in advance, especially the island of Socotra, which will be the only nearest supply port when they go to China for trade in the future. No matter what it will be transporting in the future, the moment a merchant ship enters the Indian Ocean, it will definitely choose to stop and rest on Socotra Island before entering the Indian Ocean. Although there are some small islands in the Indian Ocean, they cannot provide enough materials and ship repair services there.

Therefore, Socotra is bound to prosper in the future.

During this period, if you go to China for trade, you can also ask domestic wizards. Fortunately, the Tang people occupied a lot of land in the territory of the Fatimid dynasty. Tang Dynasty wizards can set up an enchantment here, and merchant ships of their country can directly come to the Red Sea from this, and then go to China for trade.

The aboriginal people on Socotra Island were also expelled by the Tang people, followed by the sharply armed Tang soldiers, architects and Tang people. They began to build a port city, and the migrant population came here. Obviously, the Chinese people intend to occupy the island permanently and do not leave. They not only built port cities, but also built military defense fortresses in dangerous places, and tried to grow food, vegetables and fruits on the barren land to provide maintenance and supply points for the future merchant ships. At the same time, the doctors of the Chinese people also discovered many medicinal materials that they had never seen before on Socotra Island. This small island is completely a treasure. Frankincense, gentian, dracaena, myrrh, aloe, civet, ambergris and other precious medicines, as well as many peculiar plants, if you don't count its harsh climate, this is a treasure. No wonder, in history, they will be praised by ancient Egyptians and ancient Indians, who have come to this island constantly to obtain the above-mentioned things.

And Lu Duan finally arrived in the Song Dynasty after going on a voyage that lasted nearly a year. When the huge ark slowly docked at the port of ‘Suzhou’, at the port, officials who had been waiting for a long time were waiting here. Because when Lu Duan was traveling through the South China Sea, he specially sent someone ashore from ‘quan state’ ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to inform Song Ting. Therefore, it will appear in front of him, the scene in front of him.

When the tall horses of nearly the same color and color stepped down the cabin one after another, the official Song Ting who was standing by the harbor was already dumbfounded in surprise. This tall horse is all qualified war horses, and most importantly, these war horses have not been castrated. It also shows that these flattery can be bred in the Central Plains. The lack of horses in the Great Song Dynasty was extremely worrying. Without cavalry, it would be impossible to catch up with the windy Khitan Hulu, would not be able to carry out a large-scale attack on the nomads, and would not be able to conquer the Youyun Sixteen Prefecture and the north. Without these strategic locations, Song Ting had always been passively beaten strategically, and could only rely on the city to hold it firmly, and did not dare to leave the city easily. Otherwise, the nomads, riding and shooting kung fu on the rampage, the infantry that played in minutes will be exhausted.

Now it's different. With these 60,000 tall horses, it means that Song Ting has a large-scale breeding stallion, and can also form a cavalry force of 30,000. Then, facing the Hulu who came and went like wind, they would have the confidence to pursue long distances and the courage to face the cavalry.

Vaguely, not only the officials of the Song Court, but also the people of the Song Dynasty were also looking forward to the day when the northern barrier was reconquered. And as an envoy, the first hero who brought so many good horses to the country, waiting for Lu Duan is naturally to be promoted. Similarly, his achievements will also shine through the annals of history!
