Looking at the content of this agreement, the face of the Persian envoy became more and more gloomy, and he could almost squeeze out the water, and now he would be a fool if he didn't understand what Zhu Changrun meant, Zhu Changrun's meaning was very clear, he wanted to legalize the land obtained by the Fengyang Kingdom.

Until now, although the Fengyang Kingdom has been doing business here, neither the Ottoman Empire nor the Safavid Dynasty have recognized the legitimacy of his existence. However, the Ottoman Empire had begun to loosen, and even if it was a contract signed by a local governor, it was a valid reason that could be used as evidence in the future. As an emissary, he did not have this right, and he had to go back and report to King Safi. However, the Fengyang Kingdom did not directly explain this issue, or did not directly talk to the Safi Dynasty about the land issue, how should he mention this matter to the Safi King?

Zhu Changrun looked at the Persian envoy in a daze, and his heart was really cool? It seems that the business of taking advantage of the fire is easy to do. However, it is really difficult for the envoy to go back and raise the issue of land with Safi himself, and he has to take the initiative to raise it himself, otherwise the envoy will definitely be given death directly, and he will not even have a chance to explain.

So, Zhu Changrun said: "Your Excellency, don't make it difficult, you have also seen our difficulties, our business has also encountered difficulties, there is a large backlog of goods here, and a large number of weapons and ammunition have been purchased here, if you really don't have gold and silver to trade, you can show the ministers this contract of our land transaction with the Ottoman Empire first, let them know how much capital the Ottoman Empire has invested in conquering Baghdad, compared to this land, the whole Baghdad is much larger, And the land there is much better than the barren land here, so it's best for them to make their own choices, so you don't have to take too much risk. ”

The Persian envoy wept and mourned, and said: "Your Highness abroad, I understand what you mean, but this matter about the land is too sensitive, one Baghdad is enough to disgrace the Safavid Dynasty, if you don't move and lose this place, anyone who mentions this issue will lose their heads, even if you let me consult with the minister, but who dares to come forward?" ”

Zhu Changrun smiled, knowing that this envoy was a little moved, but the land issue is indeed sensitive, and no one wants to come forward, this is indeed a difficult problem. Zhu Changrun thought about it for a while, and said: "In this way, you first find the household department in charge of money and grain, and let them quickly think of raising gold and silver, you can say that the Fengyang Kingdom doesn't need local products and specialties here, and the things here are piled up everywhere, and you can also let your entourage testify, let them find a way, if they refuse strongly, you can find the generals of the military department, tell the attitude of the household department, see their attitude, and finally take out this contract of the Ottoman Empire, Let them see how determined the Ottoman Empire was for the war. ”

The Persian envoy thought about Zhu Changrun's words and said, "What if the words of the military department are tougher?" I can't just say it's okay, let them figure it out for themselves, in this case I'm still dead. ”

Zhu Changrun said: "Why are you so rigid, if you let the people in the military department see this contract between us and the Ottoman Empire, after they know the determination of the Ottoman Empire, they will definitely find a way to find a way, they are difficult to do for you to run errands, and when they go to the household department to negotiate, you will also follow, don't let them fight, you let them sit down and negotiate and find a way!" How important is the fate of this whole country compared to this small area? If the people are gone, the Safavid is gone, is this small piece of land still Safavid? ”

The Persian envoy was silent, he was still digesting the meaning of Zhu Changrun's words, Zhu Changrun was determined to occupy this place, and look at the strength of the Fengyang Kingdom, with the Ming Empire as the backing, although he occupies a geographical advantage, if he really wants to start a war, there is only one way to fail.

The Persian envoy reluctantly left, and returned to Tehran of the Safavid Dynasty to fight with the ministers, as for what the result was, Zhu Changrun thought that they would definitely not agree, so they would wait for the fall of Baghdad to talk about it, but at that time, the land in Bushehr Province could also be returned, and perhaps the method of leasing could be adopted, although it may leave trouble, but as long as they are strong, they can still leave this land.

The chief of the Khalid family is here again, Zhu Changrun feels that he can become a savior, it must be the people arranged here by the chief Khalid who knows that the envoy of the Safavid Dynasty is coming, and they also want to find out how much weapons and ammunition Zhu Changrun will provide to the Safavid Dynasty, but he has hollowed out all his family funds, if his governor still can't succeed, he has only a dead end, who will let himself be greedy for credit?

Zhu Changrun didn't hide too much from Sheikh Khalid, and directly told Sheikh Khalid most of the content of his conversation with the Persian envoy. As a result, Chief Khalid was taken aback, Zhu Changrun is understandable to do this, whether it is as a merchant or for the interests of the Fengyang Kingdom, Zhu Changrun can do this, but what to do himself, if the governor fails, he will die, so he asks Zhu Changrun for help and asks him to think of a perfect way for himself.

Zhu Changrun thought about it and said: "That's it, as a friend, I can't let you suffer, didn't your governor give you a fief?" Isn't it just to the west of the Fengyang Kingdom? I will give you a batch of special products brought from the Ming Dynasty, you go to Istanbul by yourself, and give these things to the close ministers of His Majesty Murad IV, that is, to buy them off, let them help you with your activities, and make you a small governor, so that your fief will belong to the private territory recognized by the Ottoman Empire, and it will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the current governor, and I will fully support you with weapons and ammunition, and the current governor has no way to do it, and the deed of sale of land was signed by him, and he will definitely become a scapegoat, Then you will be able to become the Grand Governor in the future, and at that time, no one will do anything to you. ”

So, in order to better ensure the security of the border, Zhu Changrun bleed again and gave Sheikh Khalid an activity fund, followed by fifty * with 5,000 rounds of ammunition, which is an important thing to bribe Murad IV's favored ministers, the more favored the more they are afraid of death, these * are their last life umbrella, no matter who will like it.

The envoys of the Safavid Dynasty did not come back by themselves, but sent their own cronies to Zhu Changrun to explain his activities in Tehran, things were not so optimistic, the attitude of the people in the household department was very tough, although the people in the military department were also resolute, but they still did not dare to propose to the Safi king to sell the land, they even submitted the dispute to the Safi king, let the king figure out his own way, you can imagine how sensitive this is, no one dares to come forward, they are afraid of death.

Since they are not panicking, Zhu Changrun does not need to worry, one day they will regret not agreeing to Zhu Changrun's conditions now, after the governor supported by the Khalid family got a large number of weapons and ammunition, he has expanded the army again for training, and then the overwhelming light mortars will become their nightmare, Baghdad will definitely not be able to hold it, and then it will be a rout all the way, but it will be too late for them to be anxious afterwards, who made them hesitate by themselves!

Chief Khalid acted very quickly, I don't know if Zhu Youxiao's gift to him was too good or if this guy had another way. In short, Chief Khalid came back in only half a month, and he didn't even go back to his own territory, so he went directly to Zhu Changrun to express his gratitude.

Chief Khalid saluted Zhu Changrun as soon as he entered the door, and said happily: "Your Majesty, your gift is very good, I found the elder of the family in Istanbul, and he directed me to find Murad IV's favorite friend, and I gave him all the pistols you gave me, and the next day he handed me the letter of appointment and the contract, which went so smoothly, and I have not yet come home to express my gratitude." This is a gift from the elders of the family, please accept it. ”

Only then did Zhu Changrun understand that the original Khalid chief was not only shrewd, but also had a huge family backing, it seemed that he had made the right bet this time, since he had a relationship with the high-level nobles of the Ottoman Empire, then there was a reliable guarantee for carrying out extensive business activities in the future, and this matter must also be reported to Zhu Youxiao to see if he had more political intentions.

It seems that Zhu Changrun has been trained for a long time, not only is his business acumen very shrewd, but also has a good political acumen, this guy is really talented, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart after seeing Zhu Changrun's report, it seems that his arrival has indeed changed many people, including this large number of royal children, who have been the most affected.
