"What? You Jews want to be restored? Hearing the news, Zhang Lingyang couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

After the Rus' borrowing conference, little Moses came to Da Zhou on a merchant ship, and after several rounds, he was able to meet Zhang Lingyang through the recommendation of Han Xiao, the commander of Jinyiwei.

This is already half a year later.

When he heard the news at first glance, Zhang Lingyang said in his heart that he was not shocked, it was fake.

The Jews lived mainly in Europe, and how far away was Europe from the Great Zhou?

When it comes to influence in Europe, Da Zhou can be said to be almost none.

Zhang Lingyang couldn't understand how these Jews could ask for him.

Not to mention that Da Zhou doesn't have this ability now, even if he has this ability, why do he help the Jews for no reason? Is it possible to be full of food?

Little Moses, of course, understood that there is no such thing as love without a cause, and he said: "If His Majesty the Emperor promises, we and the Jews are willing to offer the whole of Western Siberia with our hands." ”

"Western Siberia?" Zhang Lingyang smiled and said, "Isn't Western Siberia the territory of the Rus' State, what right do you have to give it to the Great Zhou?" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know!" Moses Jr. explained: "Half a year ago, in order to raise funds for the war, the Rus' kingdom had mortgaged the forest area of Western Siberia to our Moses Brothers Bank for a period of twenty years. ”

"War loans?" Zhang Lingyang's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Which country does the Rus Kingdom want to start war against?" But Da Zhou? ”

"Exactly, Your Majesty the Emperor!" Little Moses nodded and said, "This time, the Rus' country has borrowed more than three million gold francs for the war, and has recruited 30,000 troops in the country. ”

For Da Zhou, the news brought by Moses the little was extremely important, far more important than the empty white fangs of Western Siberia or something.

First, even if the Jews really gave Western Siberia to the Great Zhou, the result was not that the Great Zhou was at war with the Rus' state?

For the Jews, they have nothing to lose.

Second, naturally because of the lack of news, Da Zhou can be said to know very little about European affairs, if it wasn't for the little Moses to bring this news, I'm afraid that when Da Zhou himself knows the news, the Rus people will hit the door.

Therefore, for the news provided by Little Moses, Zhang Lingyang is grateful in his heart.

Of course, gratitude is only a fleeting moment, and Zhang Lingyang will not be grateful to the Jews for this.

However, listening more to the demands of the Jews is not a bad thing for Zhang Lingyang.

Zhang Lingyang asked: "You Jews want to establish a state, you can choose the location, are you in Western Siberia?" ”

"It's not!" Little Moses shook his head and said, "Our ideal place for founding a nation is the Middle East, which is the ancestral land of our Jews. ”

"The Middle East?" Zhang Lingyang pondered for a long time before he smiled and said, "I can promise you about the founding of the country, but what good is it for me to be in Da Zhou?" ”

"We are willing to give real money!" Little Moses said, "As long as Da Zhou makes a request, I will definitely try my best to complete it." ”

"That's not bad!" Zhang Lingyang pondered in his heart.

The Middle East is far from the Great Zhou, and if the Jews want to establish a state in the Middle East, the Great Zhou will certainly not send troops to intervene directly.

Because this is not in the interests of Da Zhou at all.

Then the demands of the Jews became very simple, nothing more than training soldiers, providing weapons, and so on.

It is said that the Jews in all European countries were very guarded, not only did they not allow Jews to engage in agricultural production, but they also did not conscript Jews into the army.

Don't look at the Jews, they have a lot of wealth, but they don't even have a single gun.

Otherwise, with the financial resources of the Jews, they would have carved out a world in Europe long ago.

After thinking about it, Zhang Lingyang said: "I can promise to let you Jews participate in military training in the territory of the Great Zhou, and provide you with weapons and ammunition when you send troops to the Middle East in the future."

However, during this period, you have to pay Da Zhou a fee of three million taels of silver every year, and of course, all the expenses during the training period, including the cost of weapons and ammunition, will have to be provided by you in addition. ”

"It's nature!" Little Moses nodded.

Da Zhou did not have any influence in the Middle East, and Little Moses was naturally very aware of this, so he did not hope that Da Zhou would directly intervene with troops.

Now the development of things is already the most idealistic.

The Jews did not have money, but lacked military training and weapons and ammunition, so it would be great if Da Zhou could provide military training and weapons and ammunition to the Jews.

Seeing that little Moses agreed, Zhang Lingyang faintly regretted it in his heart.

Without him, little Moses agreed too quickly, which made Zhang Lingyang realize that the money he asked for was a little less.

The Jews were a rich and oily people, and they offered three million taels of silver a year, and he really took them.

Not to mention, in order to build the country, even if Zhang Lingyang doubles the price, I am afraid that the Jews will grit their teeth and agree.

In fact, these are what Zhang Lingyang thinks badly.

The Great Zhou is different from Europe.

In the financial system of the Great Zhou, the silver standard was implemented, but in Europe, it was the gold standard.

In Europe, although silver also exists as a currency, its value is far less than that of gold.

If three million taels of silver were converted into 300,000 taels of gold according to the method of the Great Zhou, and the Jews were allowed to send no less than 300,000 taels of gold to the Great Zhou every year, I am afraid that little Moses would not agree so easily.

In the final analysis, Zhang Lingyang still considers this issue with the inertial thinking of Da Zhou.

Next, what Zhang Lingyang and Little Moses want to talk about is naturally the training location.

For the sake of convenience, it was agreed that a training ground should be built on the border between Warat and Western Siberia, and that the Great Zhou would send people to train the Jews.

What the Moses brothers and other Jewish consortia had to do was to organize the Jews from all over Europe and send them to the border between Varat and Western Siberia.

Of course, this will not be possible until the war between the Great Zhou and the Rus' Kingdom is over.

This is also Zhang Lingyang's cleverness, choosing this place as a training ground can delay for a few years.

After all, in the past few years of delay, Da Zhou can earn an extra income of tens of millions of taels of silver, so why wouldn't he do it?

Regarding the location of the training ground proposed by Zhang Lingyang, Little Moses naturally has no qualifications to object. After all, it was he who had a request for the Great Zhou, not for the Great Zhou to ask for the Jews.

On the contrary, Little Moses will also be grateful to Da Zhou and Zhang Lingyang, the emperor of the Great Zhou, this time.

Because, after little Moses came to the Great Zhou, he found out after understanding that the annual financial income of the Great Zhou was more than 40 million taels of silver.

The silver he provided to Da Zhou every year was less than one-tenth of Da Zhou's financial revenue, and Da Zhou was able to promise to help the Jews, was it for the sake of money?
