While Dayu was happily grabbing land on a first-come, first-served basis, the Black Death quietly left Europe, waving his sleeves and not taking a cloud with him.

In the far west, in order to revitalize life, various new experiments were started, the most obvious is that the farmers who lack farmers have converted their fields into pastures, raising sheep and other livestock and poultry, and the wool weaving industry has developed with it, and this kind of living women can also do it. Another example is the almost dead population of Fei Lengcui, a city with commerce and technology as its pillars, not dependent on land and farmers, and not slumping, and basically keeping property intact, but because of the influence of the concept of 'timely pleasure', the surviving people are more obsessed with luxury. Relying on the re-influx of goods from the East, coastal countries such as the Emerald quickly absorbed vast amounts of wealth and regained their popularity.

These businessmen and investors, who had a large amount of property, became prominent figures and began to gain the favor and trust of those in power, and slowly entered key positions in government. In places like the Fileneau, they even became the main decision-makers, replacing the old-fashioned aristocracy and gradually taking over the voice. On the other hand, the old aristocracy, which depended on farms, had higher labor costs, reduced land rents, and became more and more embarrassed, and their quality of life and status plummeted.

The prestige of the Holy See plummeted, many scholars began to reflect and reinterpret the Bible, and new doctrines began to emerge.

There was also good news that the Hundred Years' War between Gaul and Britain had been suspended, and Suhai had died of the plague, and the god who wielded the whip and the plague god Ella had taken their hands together, so that the Europeans who were in ruins could rest assured that they could attack the Khut Thorn as an alliance to 'raze the razor'. And the Kute Thorn, who took over the territory of Yessuhai, in addition to solving the trouble caused by the general Beertokh under the command of the original Yesuhai, also needs to re-determine each other's territory with the two brothers.

Bahei's path of revenge was not smooth, Ma Mulu, who had carried the banner of the Heavenly Sect in place of Da Shi, repelled his attacks in Homs several times, and the khanate next door had gradually stabilized, and it was not difficult to find trouble with the two of them from Baoda. Of course, there are other options, such as answering the call of his hometown Tuva to make some trouble for Dayu in the Seven Rivers Valley to prevent the entire Mobei grassland from becoming a pasture for farmers, or scraping a piece of grassland from another younger brother and pushing it down to the banks of the Wowa River, or trying to experience the Tianzhu sauna again and turning Delhi Sudan Sakharu into a subordinate minister. It's a pity that he is seriously ill and bedridden, and he can no longer take the head of Youhu CP and avenge his father, and many options can only be completed by his sons instead of him.

***********************

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Shenzong, in order to obtain the latest trends of Western countries and solve the problem of belonging to North America, Emperor Shenzong sent a huge royal delegation to Europe, Asia and Africa again. The lineup of the mission this time can be described as the highest grade, the main envoy is the crown prince Yuan Yin, and among the mighty deputy envoys, there are Gu Yao's eight grandsons, except for Shilang Gu Mao, who has already gone to Vientiane, and none of the eight Lang Jun ranked one to nine falls.

The queen didn't open the back door, it was completely the result of the formal selection of the Ministry of Rites. Now there are age requirements for the examination, fifteen or above, forty-five or less, the post requirements of the deputy envoy include three points, one is limited to the clan and the imperial family, the second is to be able to swim, can pass the guò recruit physical fitness assessment, and the third is at least the official examination A or the qualification of the lifter, the priority exemption condition is to be able to know a foreign language. In addition to the eight members of the Gu family, only Yuan Feng and Yuan Di of the Wang family of Runan County, Yuan Lei and Yuan Jian of the Wang family of Huainan County, Yuan Ling and Yuan Kai of the Wang family of Hengshan County, Yuan Zhao of the Wang family of Hejian County who loves to go south and north, Yuan Ming and Yuan Rui of the Xichuan Wang family, Song Yu's son Song Min, Ye Wei's son Ye Jue, Ye Rui's son Ye Jue, and Zhenyi's only son Cui Ye are qualified.

Yuan Yin's main task was to talk to Ma Mulu about the excavation of the Suez Canal, and Dayu was very willing to cooperate with them, contributing money, plans, and equipment, on the condition that the toll of the canal within 20 years would be half of Dayu, and they only needed to send people. But this money Dayu didn't plan to pay for it himself, and the reason why he sent such a huge mission was precisely to raise funds. The envoys each carried with them an interpreter and a steward of the Chinese industry, one person and one country, to lobby the king, the church or the nobles in power, and prepare to do business with these local tyrants whose population had plummeted but their wallets were even bigger!

As for the two plots of land in North America, Dayu does not mind buying the commercial rights of the China Trading Company next year, depending on whether the result of the bargaining can be satisfactory.

***********************

The first hurdle to be conquered by the Dayu Prince's mission was to control Egypt and half of the Levant's new Celestial Sect dynasty, Mamulu.

In that year, the first Sultan Baibar, the first Sultan Baibar, defeated the Mughals and recovered the Holy City in one fell swoop, and then cleared the surrounding Crusader ports with victory, and returned to Damascus with honor, where he was greeted by the Heavenly Sects of the whole city. At the celebration banquet, he mistakenly drank the poisonous mare's milk wine he had prepared for the ambitious lieutenant general Alavin, who immediately led his troops back to Cairo and took over Mustan's edict of canonization, becoming the second Sudan of Mamulu, who respected the strong.

Dayu did not intend to learn from Trajan of the Great Qin Empire and Napoleon in another time and space, and only considered building a canal after the occupation of Egypt. Yuan Yin came up with a complete project survey and cost budget plan to lobby Alavin that Dayu would provide high-power dredging machinery, which could be paid in installments, which was essential for digging and maintaining the canal. As the new leader of the Celestial Sect world, after the ravages of the Black Death, it was a little unrealistic for Alavin to immediately establish military merits, and it was a very attractive place to make room for the Orientals to raise funds to open a new trade route between the East and the West, and he also had a new ally in the face of the Mugul. He did not think that the Mamu Army Corps would lose control of the canal, and as for the current shortage of labor, the vast African savannah, it was not a problem at all.

European businessmen were also enthusiastic about the canal project, which would save at least a month the route to the East without bypassing the Cape of Good Hope, the southernmost point of Africa, once the canal opened. In their opinion, Egypt is the lost territory of the Great Qin Empire, which will one day be recovered, and it is not a good thing that it can now be infiltrated in the form of commerce. Even if countries don't work together, just as China has been concentrating on major events that have changed the maritime environment, such as the excavation of the Kra Isthmus and the Nicaragua Canal, from time to time, it knows that such a grand event is 'worth the investment', even if there is no direct benefit.

Except for the older and more stable Yuan Zhao and Yuan Ling, who respectively sent envoys to Daqin and Fula, two places where the Holy See and the royal family were equally important, a group of other people surnamed Yuan arranged to go to European countries, Yuan Kai went to Bolgar, Yuan Lei and Yuan Jian visited Azerbaijan and Gurgi conveniently, Yuan Di went to Germain for a turn, Yuan Ming and Yuan Rui, a Polie, and a Magyar. Gaul, who had lost the English Channel, was the most enthusiastic about the canal, and Yuan Feng, who had sent to Gaul, agreed to give Louisiana a as a capital contribution in exchange for a bond for the canal project. Gu Hong's important task is to stay in Cairo and communicate with the great food scholars, invite Bar Sudan from the Tianfang Peninsula to meet, Cui Ye to go to the cold Rakshasa, Ye Jue to visit Ottoman, and Ye Jue was sent to the Three Kingdoms of the Valanhai Sea to talk to the Vikings last time. Song Min, a literary and artistic youth, went to the Mojia hunting area, said hello to Abdullah Sudan of the Malin Dynasty, and went to Fulang Island to say hello to the Shuhu people, and then was ordered to 'seek pleasure', participate in banquets in various places, and compose music.

Under the leadership of the two Holy Sees, the gold and silver of Europe flowed to the Dayu Mission. They are actively contributing to this. The bond collateral provided by Dayu is 30% of the goods of the China Trading Company every year, and the repayment method is to exempt the same amount of customs duties from each country in Longmen City and the seven ports of the mainland every year. Judging from the current Dongge-Srivijaya-Jinzhou Island line to the east is Dayu territory, this deal is worth doing. The Ottomans and the Mughals were not excluded, but the Ottomans preferred to cooperate with the Mamulu brothers, and the Muguls had no intention of paying at all, preferring to occupy the entire canal and collect the toll themselves.

The envoy to Britain was the new prince Gu Xun, and after Gu Yao became a prince, he directly let Gu Ao take the title and enjoy the joy of his family. The nobles and kings of Britain implicitly agreed with the generous Oriental to open up a road to wealth, and were in fact ecstatic, and an island nation like theirs, which needed more convenient shipping routes than the land countries opposite, bought the bonds of the China Canal Engineering Company with New Englandland as the subject. It was only the rest of the funding gap, and the desire to enact a poll tax instead of a land tax to raise funds triggered a nationwide peasant uprising. By the time the mission left, they were struggling to suppress the aftermath.

Erlang Gu Jin, Golang Gu Shao, and Liulang Gu Liang respectively visited Hu Qin, Bahehei, and Hu Tethorn, and invited them to send envoys back to Shangjing together to discuss the affairs of the Tuva Ministry. Saburo Gu Li and Hachiro Gu Mian took the Hongmaoyi and Iberian captives respectively, and politely went to exchange tulip seeds and merino sheep with the kings of the two countries. Iberia has occupied the western gate of the Damascus Sea, and now it is about to open a new eastern gate, as the maritime boss, how can he let go of this opportunity, and actively want to replace Bo Qiuge's position and become the general agent of Dayu and the major shareholder of the China Canal Project. In order to stabilize the affection of his old partner Bo Qiuge, Jiulang Gu agreed to sell the fortune ship to him, and as for the specific quantity and conditions, he asked them to send an envoy to Shangjing to talk.

The best arithmetic Shichiro will be in Mamulu to 'inspect' the preparations for the canal, he will take up the post of financial director, and he will be stationed in the port of Suez and Cairo with 6,000 troops of three warships, respectively, and the first task is to ensure that the funds for the project are in place smoothly and eliminate interference from all sides, and secondly, to use the money to hire mechanics, pay wages and purchase machines to speed up the removal of sand. Of course, there is also the queen's aunt who privately confessed that she would get a batch of Damascus scimitars to go back, and to ensure the food, warmth and treatment conditions of the slaves, as well as the emperor's dictation conveyed by her father, the seventh master of the Gu family, and at the appropriate time, to recover the bonds with shares, so that the Europeans could compete for the right to control the canal.

Therefore, the division of responsibilities for the whole project is that other countries pay for the bonds of the China Canal Engineering Company, Ma Mulu maintains order on the construction site, and the project schedule and construction site area are under the management of Dayu. The project director was Mingxiu, the engineering director Guo Siruo, and except for a few boatloads of people who followed the mission back to China to report the situation, most of the interpreters, businessmen and soldiers stayed.

They didn't come here to do good deeds, in addition to collecting intelligence, they also shouldered the heavy responsibility of emptying the pockets of Europeans. For example, the most basic steam equipment of the Industrial and Manufacturing Bureau can be used to greatly save manpower, so do farmers want to have one for everyone? If you want to save money, you can build it yourself, but the core components or technology are also very expensive. Of course, the most expensive is the black medium used to power the steam engine, as if you don't have it here! We also have a lot of rice from Southeast Asia and the South Seas, which is just needed in countries like you where the farmland is barren! You should be more willing to spend money, right? Not to mention luxury goods such as glass and porcelain, as long as you are willing to pay for it, we can get it for you! Of course, we all use treasure money, and we can exchange gold and silver for huàn at the first Chinese bank in Cairo, and we will not suffer a loss if we exchange it early, dear!
