Hamid said, "Say whatever you want." ”

Li You said: "Lao Ha, in the next few years, my country's navy will often go to the west, and a supply base is needed in the middle, can you see if you can provide a place at the mouth of the Persian Gulf and let me build a naval base?" ”

The Tang Dynasty wanted to go on an expedition to Europe, and in the future, it would also go on an expedition to Africa, and it was very necessary to set up a naval base for replenishment on the way, but Persia was a sovereign country after all, and Li You and Hamid had a very deep relationship, so Li You discussed with Hamid, and at the same time was prepared for Hamid's disagreement, if Hamid did not agree, he also made up his mind not to force it.

Hamid was silent for a moment and said, "No problem, I agree." ”

The reason why Hamid agreed to Li You's request so readily also has his own considerations. On the one hand, the Persian Empire originally bordered the Roman Empire, and the two sides fought for hundreds of years, which led to the weakening of the national power, so it was taken advantage of by the Great Cannibals. Although the Persian Empire no longer borders the Roman Empire on land, it is still subject to the invasion of the Roman Empire's navy at sea.

After a long war, the Persian navy was now in tatters and unable to resist the well-equipped Roman navy. If a powerful Tang fleet could be stationed here, it would not only be able to defend against the Roman navy, but also prevent the naval incursion of the Great Food Country.

Li You was very happy and said: "Lao Ha, don't worry, we are good brothers, we will build a naval base here, and all the construction costs will be borne by ourselves, and we will buy all the supplies in the future according to your local market price." I will bind these officers and men to obey your Persian laws, and there will be no disturbance to the people. ”

Seeing that Li You had solved all the problems he was worried about, Hamid was very happy, he sat up and said: "Lao Li, I can trust you, so let's just do this, we will send a permanent mission to each other to solve specific problems." In the vicinity of this naval base, I propose that we build another market and strengthen commercial trade at sea. ”

Seeing Hamid sit up, Li You also sat up to show his solemnity. As he spoke, he kept leaning sideways, his arm was a little numb, and he felt a little inconvenient for a while, and Monty saw this, and subconsciously stretched out her slender arm to support him.

Li You only felt a slight discomfort, he had already sat up with a little force, and he didn't notice Bunty's support. When Bandi touched Li You's body for the first time, he felt a burning sensation on his body, and his face turned red. Her heart was like a deer, and she couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

Li You didn't notice Bandy's demeanor, he continued to talk to Hamid, but the favorite concubine sitting behind Hamid noticed Bandy's expression, and she couldn't help laughing.

Li You explained to Hamid in detail his strategic intention of expedition to the West, his main intention was to weaken the strength of the Roman Empire and the Frankish Empire, the major Western powers, to create favorable conditions for the Great Cannibals to expand to the West, so that the Great Cannibals, the Romans and the Franks were always in a state of war, weakening each other's strength, but also to ensure that the Romans and Franks would not be annexed by the Great Cannibals, let them fight each other for a long time, and ensure the stability of Persia and the Tang Dynasty.

Hamid was very pleased with Li You's foresight. Hamid had a word in his heart, but he never said it. Hamid wanted Li You to help him build a strong navy, but he didn't want to be like Pedilan, who wanted everything. He felt that the technology of building ships in the Tang Dynasty should be strictly secret, and he didn't want to embarrass Li You, so he never brought it up.

When Li You proposed the establishment of a naval base, he had already considered all kinds of problems, and he said: "Old Ha, do you need some naval ships to prevent the invasion of the Franks, Romans and Persians from the sea?" ”

Although Li You intended to help the Persians defend themselves against the maritime threat from the Romans, the Franks, and the Great Cannibals, the long coastline was not adequately protected by a naval base of the Tang Army. Therefore, he intended to help Hamid build a smaller fleet that would not pose a threat to the Don Army and would be able to fulfill the tasks of normalizing the defense of the Persian coast.

Hamid was very moved, but he was an empathetic person, and he immediately said: "Lao Li, thank you!" Help me build a bunch of ships, and I'll give you a good return on the price. ”

The two men continued to discuss the matter of helping Persia build a naval fleet, and agreed that the Tang Dynasty and Persia would send permanent missions to each other, and that the construction of ships would be specifically responsible for consultation.

Li You said: "Lao Ha, I have received a telegram from Pei Dilan, and I will leave in three days. ”

Hamid said, "Don't worry, the supplies you need will be delivered to you soon." Before the base is built, if you need food and other supplies in the future, just send me a telegram, and I will try to send it to you. ”

Li You looked at the sky and asked, "Lao Ha, what are you going to eat tonight?" ”

After dinner, the magpie came to see Li You with a telegram, and when he reached the door, he saw Bonty sitting in the corridor resting. Seeing the magpie, she hurriedly stood up and greeted, "Sister Magpie." ”

When the magpie saw her like this, she remembered that she was her age, when she was still the prince's maidservant, and more than ten years passed in a blink of an eye, everything suddenly seemed like a dream, she shook her head, retracted her flying thoughts, smiled and nodded at Panda, and walked into Li You's study.

The magpie shook his head and nodded, making Parti a little confused for a moment. She tilted her head, looking at the magpie's back, tilting her head in a daze.

The magpie entered Li You's room without notice, she saw Li You leaning back in his chair reading a book, and said, "Lord, a telegram has come from Chang'an." ”

Li You stretched out his hand without looking back, took the telegram, and then continued to read a paragraph of the book, put down the book in his hand, and read the contents of the telegram. After reading the telegram, his face suddenly became ugly, and he sat up with a sigh.

Wei Zheng was sick, and he was still very sick.

Li You pondered for a while, asked the magpie to record, and then sent a telegram to Chang'an.

Chang'an City, Wei Mansion.

Wei Zheng was lying on the bed with a towel on his head. Sun Simiao had already diagnosed him, and after he took the medicine, he felt a little better, and at this moment he was listening to a maid read to him an unprocessed official document.

Madame came in, and looking at Wei Zheng's appearance, she couldn't help but say angrily: "Didn't Your Majesty already order you to rest in bed?" You just don't know how to take care of your body. ”

Wei Zheng raised his head and looked at his wife, and was about to say something when the housekeeper came in to report. "Master, Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived. ”
