Uthman left the Great Pyramid and returned to his royal city, but he left behind a large number of soldiers and horses to guard the Great Pyramid, as well as some of his subordinates, who were responsible for urging the treasure hunters to find the treasure inside the Great Pyramid at all costs.

Ang Lee has already visited the Great Pyramid, and has a basic understanding of the situation inside the Great Pyramid, and the information obtained is similar to that of later generations, and it is no longer necessary to go to the pyramid to explore again, and it is imperative to go to Spain as soon as possible.

After all, Ang Lee was in charge of mediating between Spain and the Ottomans, so that the two countries would not attack each other, but should unite and face the future.

Of course, Ang Lee is not idle and has nothing to do, and he came to help mediate, which is naturally on the basis of benefits.

First of all, as long as the balance between Spain and Egypt can be maintained, it will be able to contain the growth of either side, so that there will be no extremely powerful regime on the Mediterranean coast, which will cause damage to the interests of the Tang Empire, which is the most important and the most core.

Secondly, for the future interests of the Tang Empire, Li Ang began to build a large-scale Datang Canal project in the Tang territory close to eastern Egypt, and the Datang Canal project has a huge demand for labor and requires a lot of manpower.

Artik has promised to help Ang Lee raise 100,000 laborers, but this is far from enough, and more labor is needed to complete the Datang Canal as soon as possible.

The closest place to the canal, one is the power under the command of Artik, and the other is naturally the Egyptian regime under the command of the Ottomans, since the Ottic can provide 100,000 laborers, then the Ottomans can also provide so many human resources.

It's just that because of the conflict between the Ottomans and Spain, the Ottomans were a little reluctant to transfer manpower, so Ang Lee had to help the Osmans solve this problem well.

In addition, when going to Spain to persuade, Ang Lee can also bring in surplus labor from Spain, so that the people who have no jobs in Spain and live and want a better life can go to the construction site of the Datang Canal and obtain sufficient living resources for themselves through their own labor.

As long as a reasonable price can be given, the poor people in Spain will definitely be willing to go to the construction site of the Grand Canal, people are profit-seeking, as long as there is interest, it can be a good attraction to go, in any era and place.

"Li Shilang, what are you going to go down this pyramid for? Even though the pyramid is huge, it's just a pile of stones, and it doesn't seem to be of much use! ”

Li Xiaolu looked at the tall pyramid and asked.

Although this pyramid was obtained by Li Anguang with great effort, Li Xiaolu felt that Li An's was very strange, since all the treasures in it belonged to Ottoman, what was the use of Li Anguang asking for the pyramid itself? Although Ang Lee has said more than once about the great value of the pyramid, Li Xiaolu still can't see what the pyramid can bring to Ang Lee.

After all, Li Xiaolu is just a dancing girl, her understanding is still relatively short-sighted, and she does not have the ability to look at problems in depth, and with the level of people of his time, he really can't see the important use of the pyramid.

Because in ancient times, there was no charge for tourist attractions, and there were no problems such as taking pictures, and there were no souvenirs, so it naturally did not reflect the great value of the cultural landscape of the pyramids.

But after Li An got the pyramids, it would not take a few years to get a set of tourism resources, the people here in Egypt are still very poor, so it is difficult for them to spend money to visit the pyramids, however, the development of Datang is extremely rapid, after the small days are better, many people of Datang are going to go out, and it is a very good way to relax to see the pyramids in Egypt, and since everyone from afar has come, naturally you don't have to care about the cost of tickets, if you can sell souvenirs here, these people who come from afar will naturally be willing to buy some back, It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive, after all, there is a lot of commemorative significance, if you take a commemorative photo, you still need Ang Lee to invent a camera, and now there is no such advanced equipment, so it's impossible to take a commemorative photo.

In short, as long as the pyramid is developed into a tourism resource, it will be able to obtain a steady stream of wealth, and at the same time, it will also allow the people of Datang to have more places for leisure tourism and increase the happiness of the people of Datang.

Regarding tourism and souvenirs, it is estimated that Li Xiaolu can't understand this product, so Li An didn't want to explain it for the time being, and said with a faint smile: "The usefulness of the pyramid can only be reflected in the future, I won't talk about it for the time being, and in a few years, you will naturally be able to understand." ”

After saying that, he hugged Li Xiaolu's thin waist and walked to the tent not far away, tonight, Li An didn't have much thought, but it was inevitable to sleep with a beauty in his arms, because Li Na needed the comfort of a beauty very much, even if she smelled the scent of a beauty, it was very good.

When he entered the tent, his subordinates just sent a map of Spain, and Li An asked Li Xiaolu to rest first, while he himself looked at the map of Spain carefully in the tent.

Although Ang Lee has no intention of attacking Spain, he still has to be very clear about the map of Spain, after all, Ang Lee is going to Spain soon, and before going to Spain, he must always figure out the map of Spain, otherwise he will be blind.

Spain is a country in the southwest of Europe and a developed country in later generations, and historically, Spain has been inhabited since more than 5,000 years ago.

About 5,000 years ago, foreign peoples began to migrate to the Spanish peninsula on a large scale, and 4,000 years ago, the Celts from northern Europe entered the peninsula from the north and spread to the entire peninsula.

Later, the Phoenicians established a colony on the peninsula and founded the city of Gadir, from which the Phoenicians established a permanent residence on the Mediterranean coast.

After that, the Celts moved in from Central Europe, and the Spanish peninsula was invaded by lease, and it was ruled by the Romans, Visigoths and Moors for a long time.

During the Buno War, the Carthaginians took the opportunity to occupy most of Spain, leaving behind the famous city of Cartagena, also known as the city of New Carthage, which the Romans quickly occupied after defeating the Carthaginians in the Buno War.

Two thousand years ago, the Celts and Iberians from the Iberian Peninsula intermarried and fused with each other, giving rise to the later Celtiberians, who united with the Cartagos against the Celtiberians, who later became the masters of the peninsula.

After that, the Romans invaded Spain in a big way, but they met with fierce resistance, and it took a lot of effort to conquer this part of Spain, and then ruled Spain for 500 years, making Spain a province of the Roman Empire.

At the time of the collapse of the mighty Roman Empire, the Visigoths invaded Spain and established the Visigothic Kingdom, thus beginning a three-hundred-year rule.

As a result of the struggle for the throne, one of the Visigoths contenders for the throne sought the help of the Arabs, thus beginning the history of Arab invasions, which, interestingly, were called Moors by the Visigoths, which is a lovely name.

As for the Arab invasion of Spain, it was a few decades ago, very close to Ang Lee's time, and ten years before Ang Lee was born.

It was a brave and warlike Arab general Tariq who led his warriors across the Strait of Gibraltar and defeated the Gothic warriors feared by the Romans with his scimitar.

As for why the Arabs wanted to conquer Spain, it was because they found that there were disputes within the Visigothic kingdom, so they had the opportunity to intervene, and in the process, step by step, grasp the initiative, and finally completely take the initiative and occupy the vast territory of Spain.

After this battle, the Arabs successfully won and easily occupied all of Spain, with only a few places still resisting, and after twenty years, the army of the Kingdom of Farak attacked the Arabs, and the remnants of the Visigoths began to counterattack, thus beginning the reconquest that lasted for seven centuries.

The rule of the Arabs, on the whole, was moderate, they not only brought advanced production technology from the East, but also did not force the natives to change their religion, although the practice of *** religion has the benefit of tax exemption, but it will definitely not be forced.

During this time, many Jews also came to Spain because they were able to enjoy more freedom and shelter than most.

During the Arab rule of Spain, the Arabs began to bring the classical culture of Western Europe back to Europe, which was not simply transmitted back, but recreated on the basis of absorption and inheritance.

The Arabs of Spain were considered the main source of new learning in Europe, and the brilliant *** culture in astronomy, mathematics, medicine, and many arts dwarfed the rest of Europe at the time.

But moderate rule and prosperous culture could not hide the fact that *** was a foreign conqueror, as the ruler's life became more and more extravagant, the exploitation of the peasants became more and more heavy, originally the conquerors only accounted for a minority of the population, and the occupying army was relatively weak, but there was infighting among the Arabs, and even the resistance to Christianity could not be freed up to deal with it, after that, the caliphate system was abolished, Spain was divided into more than twenty small states, and then it was unified, falling into one cycle after another.

The Arabs who conquered Spain themselves were the army of the Umayyad Dynasty, but with the fall of the Umayyad Dynasty, the prince of the Umayyad Dynasty, Rahman I, fled to Spain and established an independent state in this place, which was also recognized by the Tang Empire.

Although the Arabs ruled modestly, they were the invaders, and after the corruption of logistics, they began to oppress the locals on a large scale, which provoked a strong backlash from the locals, and many Christians began to rebel against the Greencoats, thus dragging down the huge empire.

And the Spain that Ang Lee was going to at this time was the green food ruled by Rahman I, an Arab country.

But the Green Eaters only ruled part of the land of Spain, and part of the land was under the rule of Christian countries, so the rule of Rahman I was not very strong, and the empire still had big problems.

In this way, there was a lot of room for Ang Lee to persuade him, and Ang Lee would also secretly contact the opposition in Spain, which made Rahman nervous and did not dare to think about the Ottoman question again.

In addition, Ang Lee must make him understand that the Umayyad Dynasty has fallen, and he only needs to guard one acre and three points of land in Spain, don't think about his hometown, your hometown has been occupied by others, and it will never be possible to go back.

At this time, Spain can be described as a very weak country, after all, the dominant Rahman is an outsider, he has very few people of his own people, most of the people of the kingdom are foreigners, and even the beliefs are different from theirs, and this must be very dangerous.

Let a nation with a large population rule a nation with a small population, maybe there is not much pressure, but if a nation with a small population to rule a nation with a very large population, it is a very difficult thing, this is very normal, after all, any nation has a certain exclusivity, when the kingdom develops a little, they may be able to settle down, but once the kingdom has internal and external troubles, these foreign rulers will be in trouble, and the common people will not let go of these rulers. Their fate could be very miserable.

Ang Lee's ability is also very limited, he can only take care of the things in front of him, and he can't take care of things in many years, he just needs to be stable in Spain now, as for a few hundred years later, Ang Lee will not be able to live for so long, so naturally he will not have the energy to take care of it.

In Ang Lee's Datang Belt and Road Initiative, Spain is an important part of the west, and it is also a country that Datang needs to take care of and maintain.

Although it is far away from Datang, as long as there are people living in the place, there will be commercial interests, although Datang is rich in land and resources, but it is not everything, Spain will inevitably have a lot of products, which is different from Datang, that is, it has a certain economic complementarity.

In addition, Spain is also very rich in natural resources, such as coal, iron ore, copper ore and other natural resources.

There is also a very high forest coverage rate in Spain, up to 30 percent, is a country with very rich forest resources, many forest resources are unimaginable, and all these resources, for the Tang Empire to build the Maritime Silk Road are a major role, in case one day to build a bridge across the Strait of Gibraltar, it will definitely be inseparable from Spain's large number of natural resources.
