Chapter 105 International Politics

A trade route to Rome was about to open. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This news was not released by the Hami State, but by the Qarakhanid State emissary group.

As a result, a Hami country in Nuoda immediately boiled.

In the past two years, relying on the close relationship between the Hami Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, in the northwest, only the Hami Kingdom had the ability to get countless silk and porcelain from the Great Song Dynasty.

It is ridiculous to say that Hami is just a transitional country of silk and porcelain, and it is cheaper to purchase silk and porcelain here than in Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty.

Somehow, the big cannibals in Baghdad somehow fell in love with tea.

And the caravans that were able to transport tea to Baghdad were only available in Hami.

The tea leaves that are light and fluttering and difficult to transport, since they were steamed into heavy tea cakes in Hami Country, his transportation problems have disappeared.

In a short period of time, silk, porcelain, and tea became the three most important goods on the trade routes of the Western Regions.

By the way, the paper and even the pen and ink produced in Hami were also sent to distant Baghdad on this trade route.

It is not known if the Great Cannibals would use a brush to write their crooked words, at least, it is much better than writing on a parchment roll with a hard pen.

Tie Xinyuan really wanted to take goods such as agate and jade out, but as a result, the people of the Western Regions did not have any good feelings for stones, they preferred gold and silver.

The final dumping ground of agate and jade had to be the Great Song Dynasty, and the barbarians in the West could not appreciate all kinds of agate and jade accessories with beautiful shapes, and they could not understand the gentleman's culture contained in jade.

Recently, the glass of Hami has also been sought after by many Hu merchants, and the various utensils produced here are not at all comparable to the glass balls produced by Westerners.

As a result, the glassware produced in Hami was exported to the Lianghe River valley along with the porcelain produced in the Great Song Dynasty.

If this trade route could be extended to Constantinople in Eastern Rome, and then Byzantine merchants from Eastern Rome would send goods to Rome, then the goods of the Great Song Dynasty and Hami would be sold all over the world.

This is an unprecedented business activity.

Tie Xinyuan has been silent, wanting to talk about this matter after it is implemented, but as a result, the cunning Qarakhanid people are unwilling to give Hami a buffer time, and after all, the matter is known to the world.

Everyone in Hami is looking forward to it, hoping to get the most accurate news from the mouth of the Hami government.

As for the largest silk merchant in Hami, Tangtang, he has already walked into the palace of Hami, which usually never steps down.

Tangtang, who is close at hand, but hasn't seen each other for more than a year, seems to be even more beautiful, even for people like Tie Xinyuan, who are used to seeing beautiful women, they have lost their minds for a moment.

"The Qarakhanid princess Aisha, with the power of her father, the Seljuk king, opened the door to the Byzantines, hoping to connect the eastern and western trade routes.

The so-called trade route is now only on paper, from Hami to Constantinople is more than 10,000 miles, and there are many tribes and countless mountains and rivers to pass through in between, and if there is a problem at any point, it will be a disaster for you.

The Qarakhanids hoped that the trade routes of the Hami Kingdom would only reach Barasagon and then the Qarakhanids' caravans would send the goods to the Seljuks, and eventually the Seljuk merchants would send the goods to Byzantium, and finally to Rome in the far west.

Therefore, I do not advise your caravan to cross the Qarakhanids, because as long as you leave the Qarakhanids, the influence of the Hami state will be minimal, and I do not even advise you to form a caravan to the west. ”

Tie Xinyuan said extremely sincerely, he always felt as if he owed this woman, and he didn't know whether this feeling was spontaneous or imposed on him by Tangtang.

"What are the chances that the caravan will succeed in its westward journey?" Seeing Tie Xinyuan staring at her face, Tangtang immediately lowered her veil.

Tie Xinyuan rolled his eyes and said hatefully: "Ten deaths, as far as I know, the Seljuk Emperor, that is, Aisha's father Arslan, is preparing for a westward expedition, and they and Byzantium have become mortal enemies.

The reason why he agreed to open the border and allow caravans from the east to enter Byzantium was just a strategy, preparing to paralyze the Byzantine emperor with caravans from the east, and finally achieve the goal of a surprise attack.

In other words, Aisha was deceived by his father, and the caravan was likely to be destroyed.

Of course, if we complete the transaction at Barasagon, this trade route will still be advantageous for us. ”

Tangtang sat firmly on the chair, looked at Tie Xinyuan and said, "Since it is beneficial to us, why does the king keep it a secret?" ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Once a large amount of goods enter Barasagon, will that poor ghost of King Adan be able to buy all the goods?"

He just wanted to empty the gloves of the white wolf, so that the merchants who transported the goods to Barasagon could die on the ground.

Then he would be able to sell the goods to the Seljuks and make a profit.

But how could the Seljuks, knowing that opening up trade was just a strategy, to take over these high-value goods?

Naturally, they had to repeat the old tricks and continue to send these expensive goods to the West without paying the Qarakhanids.

You also understand that the goods are already not credible after two hands, so frequent handovers, do you think your goods are still your goods?

So, honestly continue to do your silk wholesale business in Qingxiang City and Hami City, don't think too much. ”

Tangtang slowly stood up and saluted Tie Xinyuan, "Someone will set foot on this westbound road after all, right?" ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "Yes, but I don't want the people of Hami to take this road, Adan and Aisha are stupid, it is better for them to go." ”

Tangtang stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back, like an Angzang man looking at the distant mountains and said, "If the Qarakhanid people open this trade route, they will get the greatest benefit, don't you say?" ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said, "Sometimes giving and gaining are the same, and since the Qarakhanid people have paid, they should get the maximum benefit." ”

Tangtang said faintly: "You are still that fox character, your courage is still so small, you do big things and spare yourself, and you forget your life when you see Xiaoli."

Many times, we have to look for a chance to survive in despair, and fight our way out of a desperate situation, which is the behavior of a big husband. ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head like a rattle, waved his hand and said, "I've seen a lot of the kind of people you said, and now the grass on their graves is two feet high.

In the family motto of the Tie family, it is strictly forbidden to seek these five words in wealth and danger! ”

Tangtang stared at Tie Xinyuan and said, "So, what are you doing in Hami?" ”

Tie Xinyuan thought for a moment and said: "I am a very peaceful person, as long as others don't mess with me, and I can stay calm when I mess with him, I usually won't do too much."

As for my act of playing with my life in Hami, you can think of it as an act of art.

When I was tied to a big iron ball and stepped on it, all I had to do was try to stand on top of the rolling iron ball and try not to be crushed into a patty by the iron ball.

As a result, I stepped on this iron ball and crushed the person who tied me.

Such an experience may seem great, but in fact, I have made a vow more than a hundred times that I never want to go through that nightmare again.

Sugar Candy, live well, don't be a pioneer, I really can't understand how a caravan needs to be lucky enough to complete such a great deal. ”

Tangtang seemed to smile, but through the thin veil, Tie Xinyuan couldn't see it very clearly.

Sending away Tangtang, Tie Xinyuan's heart was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Wan walked out of the inner room with Tie Le's tiger head hat in her hand, and saw that Tangtang was walking away on tiptoe, so she said to Tie Xinyuan: "Don't you think it's a pity?" ”

Tie Xinyuan sighed and said, "It's a pity, there is no perfect thing in this world. ”

Zhao Wan pulled a silk thread from the tiger head hat, then nodded with satisfaction, touched her husband's shoulder with her shoulder and whispered, "People dislike you for being timid." ”

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Aren't you usually smart? You can't even understand such an obvious teasing?

It means that you should be bold enough to go to her room......"

Tie Xinyuan patted his forehead and said bitterly: "You like to eat toon sprouts and scrambled eggs, but not everyone likes toon, what you like to the tip of your heart may be disgusting to others."

Don't judge others by your thoughts. ”

Zhao Wan nodded again and again: "It makes sense, I'm going to order to ban others from eating toon!" ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

When husband and wife have been together for a long time, there will be a lot of inexplicable fun, and some things don't look funny to others at all, only the husband and wife know the fun, and make fun of each other, and love becomes family affection.

Not everyone has the opportunity to listen to Tie Xinyuan give him an analysis of international politics, and if Tangtang knows, he will naturally not talk nonsense.

The popularity of the trade road continues to soar, and many caravans are inexplicably excited, they only see the huge profits that the trade road can bring, but they do not, or simply ignore the hidden killing opportunities on this trade road.

Merchants are like that, with ten times the profit, they will ignore their own lives, this is not a will that can be calmed down, Aisha has succeeded to some extent.

Wei Chi Zhuozhuo finally stopped painting those messy ladies, just like Tie Xinyuan analyzed, she and Zhao Wan only mentioned the matter of the silk hair workshop, and Zhao Wan returned the workshop to Yu Chi Zhuozhuo very much.

He also gave her all the dyers he brought from the Great Song Dynasty, and the only requirement was to keep the workshop running smoothly.

At dinner in the evening, Tie Xinyuan looked at Yu Chi Zhuo's two colorful hands that were soaked in dye, except for sighing, it was a sigh.

It can be seen that this mother-in-law really likes to do this, and once she likes something, the so-called use will not be able to talk about it, because the person who is being used has found enough fun from the thing itself.
