The strongest son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty

Over the years, Su Lie served under Du He, and his military rank was promoted very quickly.

From the major general commander at 15 o'clock in the original Zhenguan, he was promoted to the lieutenant general division commander, a full promotion of a level.

You know, it is not so easy to be promoted to a major general. There must be a battle and a report from the chief officer.

Only by reporting military exploits to the military fairly can one be promoted.

Sometimes, no matter how many military exploits there are, the chief officer doesn't report it, and just steals the military merits, even as a subordinate general.

In this regard, Du He will not embarrass anyone, as long as he makes military exploits, he will report to the military as soon as possible.

In fact, this is not only a matter of military merit, but also many industries.

A good boss will not obliterate the credit of the subordinates, but will allow the subordinates to be promoted, and their loyalty will also increase.

When encountering a narrow-minded boss, jealousy overflows, and he is always worried that his subordinates are too capable and will surpass themselves.

If you always wear small shoes to your subordinates, such a team will never have good results.

Du He conquered Su Lie with facts.

"Alright, let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion!"

Doo Ho said.

A group of people headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

It has been two years since Du He left Chinatown, and the city in front of him shocked Du He's heart.

The changes are too great.

Chinatown at this time is really full of traffic, people coming and going, and a bustling scene.

Du He was filled with emotion.

Chinatown has developed into the most prosperous place where the three regions of West Asia, Europe and Africa meet.

Merchants from the three regions flocked to Chinatown to purchase various commodities and weapons produced by the empire from Chinatown.

Merchants in the three regions take the products produced in the three regions to Chinatown for sale.

Others are exchanged for raw materials for goods produced by the empire.

For example, in Africa, many tribes have picked up dog head gold, diamonds and other materials, and will sell them in Chinatown.

In order to ensure the transportation of goods, the Chinatown Wharf has been expanded several times.

The wharf at this time is no longer a few simple wharves, but a super-large port with more than ten wharves.

The port is very busy every day.

Cargo ships come and go.

Now, loading and unloading are no longer manual, all are mechanized operations, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.

All kinds of cranes, gantry cranes, forklifts, and trucks are all over the terminal.

Many West Asians, Europeans, and Africans were so shocked that they couldn't even speak when they saw such a pier.

Too modern.

In the eyes of businessmen from the three continents, the Tang Empire is definitely at the forefront of technological development and the most technologically advanced empire.

The strength of the Tang Empire is also the top existence, the real overlord.

Despite this, the merchants of the Tang Empire still traded fairly and justly with all countries in the world, and never bought or sold by force.

The behavior of the businessman has also been praised by businessmen from other countries in the world.

Knowing that the Tang Empire is an empire that attaches great importance to the spirit of contract, as long as agreements and contracts are signed, they will definitely abide by them.

What about imperial merchants?

It also gradually became concerned about credibility and the spirit of contract.

The products are strictly in accordance with the contract and agreement, and do not engage in shoddy things.

In a word, the products produced by Tang Empire are reassuring.

Even if it is food, the taste is definitely unforgettable.

During the shelf life, dead people will never be eaten.

Transactions are two-sided.

Imperial merchants also purchased a large amount of vegetable seeds, flowers, plants and trees from West Asia, Europe, Africa and other regions.

Of course, imperial merchants would not accept anything like ivory.

Although after the acquisition, once it is processed into a product, it will get a super high return, but Du He said.

We want to protect animals and love animals.

Once the purchase of ivory will cause the slaughter of wild elephants in Africa and Asia, it is immoral, and we must not do it.

Du He had a lot of face, and the businessman obeyed immediately when he said something.

Even though there are no laws on animal protection, businessmen still give Duhe face.

There is no way, these years, the businessman has followed Du He, really made a fortune, and still made a fortune.

City Lord's Mansion:

"Mr. Su, when Peng Yue was handed over to you, did you explain the situation clearly?"

Doo Ho said.

"General, I have confessed everything."

Su Lie said.

"Then just tell me the situation."

Doo Ho said.

"General, after years of development, Chinatown has nearly [-] merchants, and more than [-]% of them are imperial merchants.

It has a population of nearly 50, of which floating population accounts for more than [-]%; the cargo handled is tens of thousands of tons every day.

The transaction amount has increased year by year, and the tax revenue has also increased year by year.Taxes have been able to meet the needs of the imperial garrison. "

Su Lie said.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things, let's talk about the surrounding security situation."

Doo Ho said.

"As ordered!"

"General, after the Arahs conquered the Parthian Empire, they established the Persian Kingdom, which is entirely composed of the Arahs.

However, the Arah people also have many races. They are a country on the surface, but there are still many factions inside. "

Su Lie said.

Du He nodded.

I was thinking in my heart, damn, this Persian is very awesome, he is considered an ancient country.

"General, the Arahs took down Sabbath, and seized a large amount of gold coins from the Sabbaths, and their wealth skyrocketed all of a sudden.

Recently came here to order 50 flintlock guns, 2000 million rounds of ammunition, and solid shells. "

Su Lie said.

Ha ha!

"The Arahs are ambitious and will not stop. They must pay close attention to the movements of the Persians. This is a very cunning race. They are deceptive and cannot be careless."

Doo Ho said.

"General, according to the information obtained from General Peng, it seems that Eastern Rome fought very fiercely with the Turks.

I heard that the Turkic people and the Arab people have gotten very close recently, and they might join forces.Also, the Turks sent people to talk,

If you want to purchase weapons and equipment such as flintlock guns and bullets from us, we have not responded yet.Please show me the general. "

Su Lie said.

Du He frowned slightly.

The death in peace was expected by Du He.

The alliance between the Arabs and the Turks was also expected, but the Turks came to the door to purchase weapons and equipment.

Unexpected indeed.

The Tang Empire and the Turks were feuds.

It was in the interests of the empire that the Tang Empire drove the Turks to West Asia and Europe, and it was also a military case supported by Du He.

But what?

There are no permanent friends in the world, only permanent interests.

That being the case, why didn't the Tang Empire sell flintlock guns to the Turks, as long as the Turks gave gold coins, why didn't they sell them.

Who will have trouble with gold coins, unless it is a fool.

Ha ha!

"As long as the Turks have gold coins, why don't they sell them? Do they have to make trouble with gold coins?"

Doo Ho said.

"General, the Turks and the Empire are feuds. Once you sell weapons and equipment to the Turks, I'm afraid His Majesty will be held accountable."

Su Lie said.

accountability!

What is the responsibility?

"Mr. Su, we are only selling some outdated weapons and equipment, why not sell them. Now that the Turkic people have been driven to West Asia and Europe by us, they are no longer a threat to the empire, so feel free to sell them boldly."

Doo Ho said.

"General, I understand the humble position."

Chapter 549 plundering resources

"Mr. Su, once the Arahs and Turks destroy the Eastern Roman Empire, they will stare at us.

Don't look at the fact that the Arabs exchanged deserts for flintlock guns, which has a good relationship with our empire. In fact, it is nothing more than nothing.

From the bottom of their hearts, the Arabs are also hostile to our empire and want to take back the desert they exchanged. "

Doo Ho said.

"General, since this is the case, the existence of Eastern Rome is beneficial to the empire. At least it can attract the firepower of the Arahs and Turks.

Why don't we help East Rome secretly? "

Su Lie said.

Du He shook his head.

The demise of Eastern Rome is a historical development track, and no one can stop it. If this is the case, why do people interfere.

"Mr. Su, once the Arah people know that there is oil under the desert, they will definitely be greedy and regret it."

Doo Ho said.

Oil has been used in the empire for many years, and it has not been discovered in West Asia and Europe.

"General, is there really oil under the desert?"

Su Lie said.

"Yes! The volume is very large. That's why, all this time, the empire did not extract oil under the sand,

In addition, the oil extracted in Majiujia is temporarily enough for the empire to use. Once the empire pumps out oil from the desert,

The situation is different.Therefore, we want to expand our influence in this area and monitor every move of the Arah people. "

Doo Ho said.
