Li An still had business to do, so naturally he couldn't stay in the port for a long time, and after resting for three days, he immediately set off for Moldova, the capital of the Rahman Empire.

It is estimated that it will take more than ten days to go this way, but Li An has time, as long as this matter is completed, Li An's goal will be completed, and he can return to Datang very relaxed.

This is the farthest place Ang Lee has walked to, it can't be farther, Ang Lee doesn't want to go to the Americas, let alone the Nordic area, he has been out for so long, he has to go back.

On the way, Li An has been thinking about the situation of the Rahman Empire, and he is analyzing the specific situation of the Rahman Empire little by little according to the information found by his subordinates.

According to historical memory, Rahman was a capable man, who fled to Spain when the Umayyad dynasty was overthrown, and through his own ability, gained the support of the local Arabs and Burbers, and then led these supporters to defeat the army of the Abbas, and killed the governor of Córdoba, Yusuf, thus stabilizing the foundation.

Subsequently, Charlemagne of Frank in the north, taking advantage of Rahman's unstable foothold, personally led an elite army to attack Rahman, but in the end, Charlemagne was defeated by Rahman and fled back in disgrace.

By fending off Charlemagne's invasion, Rahman established his authority and thus made his throne more secure.

In other words, Charlemagne's invasion not only did not destroy Rahman, but also helped Rahman a lot, making Rahman's originally unstable country even more stable.

However, since ancient times, there has been a truth, if there is not enough money and food to fight a war, it is impossible to fight, even if it is a very rich country, and it must be supported by money and food to fight.

Rahman was originally a prince who fled from the Umayyad Dynasty, and he had no capital of his own, but he was a local native, an Arab who arrived earlier, and a Burber people, and other three forces, felt that his status as a prince was appealing and well promised, so they united to support him, so as to resist the Aposian army that crossed the sea together and protect their own interests.

The struggle against the Abbasid dynasty resulted in heavy losses to the three pro-Rahman forces, and the subsequent purging of the remnants of the enemy and the subjugation of the opponents took a great cost.

Fortunately, in the end, Rahman himself and his supporters won the final victory, successfully established the empire, and Rahman sat on the throne.

But when the kingdom was first built, the distribution of the interests of the three supporters became a big problem, in order to jointly resist the enemy, the three forces have paid a lot of sacrifices, since they have won, they should be distributed to their own interests, but the distribution of these is not an easy thing, there are always too many contradictions to deal with.

Rahman came alone, without roots, and sat on the throne entirely by relying entirely on the three forces and his status as a royal family of the Umayyad dynasty.

In terms of balancing the interests of the three forces, he felt that he was exhausted, and many decisions could not satisfy the three forces at the same time, and even, the three parties were not satisfied, and there was a tendency to force the palace.

And at this critical juncture, Charlemagne came to help, and as soon as he heard that Charlemagne's elite soldiers and horses had come to kill, the happiest was of course Rahman.

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, he constantly lobbied the three forces, pointing out that only by the cooperation of the three forces can the common enemy be defeated, otherwise, there will be nothing.

The clever Rahman even gave an example, he personally took a chair, and then cut off one of the legs of the chair, randomly, the chair fell to the ground, and then Rahman told the representatives of the three forces that the new empire at this moment is like this chair, if it is missing a straight leg, it can only fall.

In the face of the threat from the north, the three forces finally reached a compromise and no longer fought with each other, but rallied around Rahman, and everyone worked together to gather all their strength to resist Charlemagne's attack.

What kind of character Charlemagne is, many people in later generations know very well that this powerful character created the most powerful country in Europa, and he is a very powerful person.

And such a powerful Charlemagne was actually defeated by Rahman, you can imagine how heavy the price Rahman paid in the process of victory.

After all, Charlemagne was not a general, but a very capable person, a very powerful enemy, and it was impossible to defeat such a powerful enemy without paying a huge price.

In other words, the price paid by the new Rahman Empire is very high, and while it has won a huge victory, its old capital and elite forces have been exhausted, and all that is left is an empty shell.

And Charlemagne has been unconvinced after his defeat, always thinking about revenge, and is secretly accumulating strength, ready to avenge defeat at any time.

In addition, although Rahman unified the kingdom, the rebel forces in the country were not completely annihilated, especially a group of opponents led by Yusuf's henchmen, who had been making trouble for Rahman.

Rahman was exhausted by the threat of both the country and the north, and at this time, Ottoman, who had been nominally subordinate, suddenly established himself as king, and drew a line with his small court, so that the foreign aid he hoped for was completely shattered, and he was naturally quite annoyed.

He thought that by defeating Charlemagne's aftermath, he could deter Osman and make Osman and his men obedient, but unexpectedly, Osman's wings were very hard, and he actually used only 10,000 soldiers and horses to defeat the elite army he sent, which really made him tremble.

Of course, the main reason is that the elite under his command is actually not so elite, in the process of resisting the invasion of Charlemagne, all the elite troops have been seriously reduced, and many of the newly replenished soldiers are just adult children, and the combat effectiveness is naturally not as good as that of the veterans, and the shortage is also more serious, and the supply of grain, grass and silver is also slightly insufficient, and the defeat of the battle has become inevitable.

When the whole army defeated Charlemagne, although all forces suffered heavy losses, Rahman's prestige was strengthened, and the position of the royal power was relatively stable, but after the defeat to the Ottomans, Rahman's prestige was greatly reduced, and at the same time, various domestic contradictions were exposed.

In other words, at this moment, what Rahman urgently needs to do is to recuperate internally and coexist with each other in a friendly manner, so that he can consolidate his throne step by step, so as not to let his hard-earned country become someone else's.

This is also the reason why Rahman is timid, because he is in a disadvantageous situation of internal and external troubles, and if he takes a slight wrong step, he may lose everything.

The historical Rahman may not have encountered such a big crisis, but the appearance of Ang Lee has changed a lot of things, Osman was not famous, but with the help of Ang Lee, Ottoman became the climate, and even threatened Rahman.

In short, through the continuous investigation of the soldiers under his command, Li An can already have a very clear understanding of the actual situation of the Rahman Empire, and naturally knows how to deal with the problems in front of him.

"Li Shilang, it's windy, put on some clothes!"

Seeing Li An standing alone on the deck for a long time, Li Xiaolu stepped forward and said with great concern.

Li An turned sideways slightly, looking at Li Xiaolu with flushed cheeks, his mood suddenly relaxed a lot, you know, Li Xiaolu's face can be so moving, Li Ang is indispensable, without Li An's efforts, Li Xiaolu's face can be so good.

"Yes! Today's sea breeze is a little cool, and the sky is so overcast that you can't see the sun. ”

Li An put on his clothes and spoke.

"Li Shilang, how long will it take for us to arrive?"

Li Xiaolu doesn't seem to like sailing on the ocean very much, after all, the ocean is too boring, there is blue water in all directions, just seeing such a vast ocean, people can be very excited, but if you look at these boring sea waters for a long time, people's mood will not be so good.

The people living in the interior will be very excited when they go to the beach for the first time, and they will shout happily to express their excitement, but the people who live by the sea all the year round have almost no feeling when they see the sea, and they have no excitement at all.

This is because they live in different regions, where the novelty is exciting, while long-term contact makes people gradually numb and lose the feeling of happiness.

There is a very reasonable saying in later generations, saying that tourism is to go from a place where you are tired of being tired of others, which is about people's strong demand for freshness.

When Ang Lee first started to go south, he looked at the vast sea, and his mood was excited and surging, but after watching it for too long, this feeling was reduced, but he didn't hate the sea at all, because the sea looked very clean, and there were no other shortcomings except boring.

Li An gently stroked Li Xiaolu's forehead and replied dotingly: "It's coming, it'll be there in a few days." ”

Li Xiaolu said: "After drifting on the sea for so many days, I feel a little dizzy, so uncomfortable!" ”

People are adrift on the sea, there are always times of seasickness, but, under normal circumstances, only when you go to sea for the first time, or when you are not in good health, it is easier to get seasick.

Li Xiaolu also sat on the boat for a lot of time along the way, and felt dizzy, it should not be a problem with seasickness, but a problem with her body, so it will be difficult to resist the bumps of the sea.

"Accompany me these days, you have worked hard, so rest more if you are dizzy, go to the cabin to rest!"

Li Ang said very considerately.

Li Xiaolu was reluctant to go back, and said: "It's just that I slept in the cabin for too long and had a headache, otherwise I wouldn't have a headache?" It will be fine to come out and blow the wind, Li Shilang doesn't have to worry. ”

After speaking, he gently leaned his head on Ang Lee's shoulder, and a hint of sweetness appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Li An stood still, quietly looking at the seagulls in the sky in the distance, and continued to think about the situation in the Rahman Empire, and at the same time, he also began to think about what would happen after he returned.

For the affairs of the Rahman Empire, Li An already has a full grasp of it, and he will definitely be able to handle it easily, and after returning to Datang, Li An must think about his next work priorities.

As an official of the Tang Dynasty, Li An can participate in court politics, but many people will do these things, Li An is not much smarter than these people, and if he is engaged in industrial and agricultural technology, Li An's ability is far better than those guys in the court.

Before leaving the Tang Dynasty, Li Ang had already engaged in a lot of industrial and agricultural science and technology, which made the Tang Empire undergo earth-shaking changes, but these are far from enough, and it is necessary to continue to change and make the Tang Empire more powerful.

Otherwise, how boring Ang Lee would have been! Now that he has come to Datang, Li An will continue to work hard to help Datang little by little, so that the development of the Datang Empire will be better and better, and at the same time, he will also satisfy his inner sense of superiority.

Li An is now a very popular minister, enjoys great glory in Datang, usually eats and drinks without worry, and there are too many women to count, and they can do whatever they want, but these are not enough to support a person's meaningful life, to live, you must do something particularly meaningful, and you must go all out to help people in this era of Datang, so that they can live a better life.

In Li An's heart, food is always the most important thing in an empire, as long as the amount of food is sufficient, even if it encounters a big thing, it is relatively easy to solve.

Since ancient times, because the grain production is too low, and the population is not controlled, when the wind and rain are good, the population will naturally surge desperately, and the demand for food will be greater, so that if there is a sudden natural disaster, there will be a large gap in food all of a sudden, and the people will naturally take risks in order to fill their stomachs.

And if the grain production is extremely high and there is a sufficient amount of reserves in normal times, then, even if there is a disaster year, there is no need to be afraid, as long as the people have something to eat, they will naturally not take risks.

Therefore, agriculture is always the most important, after Li An is busy with the sea route, he returns to the life of Datang, and he will take science and technology to rejuvenate agriculture as the main work, at the same time, industry and various science and technology are also the focus of Li An's development, as for the affairs of the imperial court, Li An can ignore it, as long as there are no problems with several major policies, the rest of the things do not have to worry about, so as not to offend the interests of too many people and cause too much trouble to themselves.

"Li Shilang, there is the entrance to the river ahead, and we are about to enter the river."

A subordinate came over and reported.

Li An raised his eyes and saw that the mouth of the sea did faintly appear in the distance, and after careful observation with a telescope, Li An could be completely sure that the estuary of this big river was the estuary of the Guadalquivir River that he was looking for.
