The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

After some inquiries, many advanced weapons and equipment were not sold to the outside world, which made Gubat very angry.

"Mr. Guart, how about this flintlock gun? It is much better than your original matchlock gun!"

Doo Ho said.

"How much is one?"

Cubat said.

"100 gold coins, the price is very low, really high quality and cheap, 100 bullets only need one gold coin."

Doo Ho said.

"General Du, we only bought muskets from Niu Niu country for 30 gold coins. Your country needs 100 gold coins, which is too expensive."

Cubat said.

Ha ha!

"You get what you pay for. Whether it is accuracy, range, power, or shooting speed, our flintlock guns are

It's a few blocks away from the matchlock gun like Niu Niu Niu. This is not a high-grade product. Is it comparable? "

Doo Ho said.

"Mr. Guart, there is actually another mode of operation. Sell this desert to the empire, after all,

This place has been occupied by the empire.Although it is said to be an unclaimed land, legally it still belongs to Eastern Rome.

Even though you don't mind this desert, our Tang Empire still wants to take it, so as to save trouble in the future. "

Doo Ho said.

Gubat was slightly taken aback!

What do you mean?

The Tang people want to send money?

Such a deserted place, why would Tang people buy it?

To be honest, East Rome really didn’t take it seriously, it was just a desert, and the Tang people should occupy it if they want!

Chapter 509

"General Du, what kind of deal do you want?"

Cubat said.

Ha ha!

"Mr. Guart, this was originally a deserted place, and Eastern Rome did not actually rule it. It only belongs to Eastern Rome legally, but it is actually a land without owner. I am right!"

Doo Ho said.

Gubat wanted to refute, but he couldn't!

What Du He was talking about was the fact that Eastern Rome did not control this area, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a land without owner.

"General Du, you are right! Jurisprudentially it belongs to Eastern Rome, but in fact it has no control over it. It is an illegal land."

Cubat said.

"Our Tang Empire used 100 million gold coins to buy land within 50 kilometers, no, 100 kilometers along the coast of Persian Bend."

Duhe Lion opened his mouth wide.

This earth has mutated, and it needs more territory within a range of 50 kilometers.

Gubat nodded deliberately.

"Yes, this is no problem. However, I have to report to the House of Elders and the king, and it can only be implemented after consent."

Cubat said.

A few days later, Gubat sent a message that Eastern Rome asked Duhe to add some money and sell the Ala Peninsula to the Tang Empire.

Unexpected!

But what?

Du He did not fully agree.

After all, there are still many Arabs on the peninsula, which is an unstable factor, once the Arabs have no room to live.

The problem is huge.

Besides, a large part of the peninsula is now occupied by Egypt.

"Mr. Guart, the whole peninsula is too big. Our Tang Empire can't afford that much territory. Half of it is enough."

Doo Ho said.

Cubat was surprised!

Don't Tang people like to take advantage?

Don't fool around!

It is too difficult for the Tang people to fall into the quagmire of war.

Sly and big.

After some quarrels, the Tang Empire won half of the Ala Peninsula at the cost of 1000 million gold coins.

From the map, a diagonal line runs through the Red Sea.

In a few days, Eastern Rome sent a large amount of gold coins, not only to redeem [-] captives, but also to buy back the captured fire/rope/gun.

Most importantly, Eastern Rome purchased 20 flints/shots/guns and 500 million bullets/ammunitions from the Tang Empire.

The Tang Empire specialized in the production of low-power steam engines, which were sold to the Eastern Roman Empire.

Gubat also purchased some daily necessities, but the quantity was extremely small. After all, many Eastern Roman merchants had already purchased some.

After purchasing the land, Du He couldn't let it go.

Immediately dispatched 2000 soldiers, mounted on Arabian war horses, to clear the territory.

Generally speaking, the empire is very benevolent, and does not embarrass the natives living in the desert, and still takes care of them.

Everything is implemented according to the imperial policy.

The navy quickly built several ports on the site, and small towns rose up in the ports.

The Tang Empire inserted into West Asia, making the situation confusing.

With the expansion of the site, security issues are on the agenda.

For this reason, Du He ordered Lu Xun to continue to expand the size of the navy, from the original 30 to 50.

The demand for merchant ships and warships has increased significantly, causing more than a dozen shipyards to work day and night, and merchant ships and warships are like dumplings.

Chinatown is becoming more and more influential, and the sales volume is higher than the previous month.

When businessmen from many European countries heard the news, they traveled thousands of miles to Chinatown to purchase products produced by the empire.

For merchants, silk products are the best choice.

……

Chang'an:

Li Er was in the imperial study, inspecting the memorial sent by Du He.

frown slightly!

Li Er really didn't understand, what did Du He spend 500 million gold coins to buy that place in West Asia?That is a desert!

In the desert land, there are many around the empire.

I don't understand!

Although he said that Li Er didn't need to pay the money, he was puzzled in his heart.

What is the purpose of Duho?

Li Er didn't believe that Du He spent money to buy the desert purely because he liked it.

Unable to figure it out, Li Er sent someone to call several important ministers of the direct line to the Imperial Study Room, so that everyone can study it.

Damn!

Du He, that kid, has wild ideas, making people unpredictable.

"My dear friends, take a look at this map. This desert was bought by Du He with 500 million gold coins. Tell me, Du He, what is the purpose of buying this desert."

Li Erdao.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Wang Xuance, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others looked at the map and felt depressed.

What purpose!

What do you think of this!

Apart from knowing that it is a desert on the map, I don't know anything about it.

"Your Majesty, it can't be that there are treasures under the desert! With Du He's shrewdness, it is impossible to buy a piece of ruined land."

Fang Xuanling said.

If Du He was here, he would definitely give Fang Xuanling a thumbs up.

It is indeed Youbao, a kind of black gold, also called black gold.

That's right!

The place where Duhe bought it is the gathering place of Arabian oil, and a large amount of oil is stored under the desert.

Otherwise, Du He would spend 500 million gold coins in vain.

"Is it a gold mine?"

The eldest grandson said nothing.

Li Er felt that what Changsun Wuji said was right.

"Your Majesty, since you are not sure, why not write a letter and ask."

Wang Xuance said.

"Your Majesty, no matter what Lord Du's purpose is, the products of the Empire are very easy to sell there.

There should be a place to stay.Now, due to the two sales points of Zhongyuan City and Chinatown,

Driven the rapid development of domestic industry.Those silk factories and silkworm farmers have increased their investment scale one after another.

There are also ceramic products that were not favored in the past, and many factories have sprung up in the country.Especially building materials factories,

The cement produced in various places was pulled away one by one.I really don't know what Mr. Du means, can't a cement plant be built in that place? "

Chu Suiliang said.

Du He took the caravan out to carry out ocean trade, so that the empire's original unsalable products were purchased.

Production to another level.

Li Er nodded.

The sustained and stable growth of the domestic economy is inseparable from Duhe's ocean trade.

Foreign trade stimulated the economic recovery of the empire.

Li Er is old.

But what?

My heart is excited.

Judging from the map drawn by Du He, the empire's territory has expanded to an astonishing extent.

In particular, the overseas islands that were originally not expected to be conquered one by one by the North Sea Fleet under Du He's banner.

Shocked!

It was so shocking.
