Mehmed II remotely commanded his plans in the Balkans. The ****** of the Ottoman Empire during this period was mainly concentrated in Asia Minor, and the Balkan lands were almost entirely Orthodox territory.

The Uthmans divided the territories of these newly conquered territories into Tima, or Timar. Sipahi was born in a small fiefdom under Tima. Each Tima corresponds to a governor.

In the conquest of the Balkans, the Ottomans were very shrewd in taking a two-front approach. On the one hand, Tima was set up to support the army, and on the other hand, the interests of the city were guaranteed in Timari, allowing free trade, free religion, and so on.

It was not until the decade after Mehmed II's conquest of Constantinople that the Ottomans gradually abolished these feudal timas and replaced them with direct administration by state-sent officials.

This was an effective measure for the rapidly expanding Ottomans. But it also raises national hidden dangers such as the Khandari family.

"Pass my orders. From this day onwards, all Tima Governors are to submit their reports to me every month. All any contact from Tima will need to apply to me! Even if it's just a foreign ship docked! "Mehmed II ordered in the court.

"Grand Vizier ......."

"Kandari Pasha!"

And in the afternoon of the same day, at Khandari Harriel's Pasha station, a large group of Tima officials and envoys ran out.

"He's going to do it!" Someone was clamoring.

"We shouldn't have helped him up in the first place!" The Turkmen express their emotions in a very direct way. Several people simply announced that they should not have helped this little calf to come to power in the first place.

"Don't rush, don't rush. Let's see what else the Sultan has to instruct ....."

Grand Vizier Khandari Harrier is still as steady as Mount Tai. He glanced disdainfully at the noisy officials. said disdainfully: "If you don't even have this concentration, how will you manage Tima in the future?" Let's go back first! ”

But in reality, our Grand Vizier is not at peace right now.

"Go to Constantinople and ask for Orhan........ We can't go on like this. Little Muhammad thought it was beautiful......."

Chikyo.

"Wasn't it a thing that the Arabs didn't know how to count seven hundred years ago? Why are there still people who don't know how to count? ”

Qin Cang was impatiently talking about some recent trivial matters in the government. Mamluk merchants from Arabia, mainly Egypt and Syria, wanted to obtain the same authorization for porcelain. However, these stupid fellows went so far as to ask for the porcelain to be taken away for only two hundred ducats.

Nima's, 200 ducats is 600 Haiperen! Is your brain caught in the door?

"Arabs are illiterate? What is it? "Meng Zhuoyan has never heard of this peculiar stalk.

"Oh, that's it. Have you read books written by Arab historians? The vast expanse was filled with thousands of soldiers, an endless number of captives, and, especially, the annual income. The annual income of our entire country has not yet reached a million happeron, ****** that group of Arabs dared to write seven hundred years ago that they earned tens of millions of dinars a year a year! Even after converting the unit, I went to write two hundred million or three hundred million. What's even more stupid is that they often can't tell the difference between Dinar and Dirkhan themselves!

That's why there is such a joke that the Arabs don't know how to count. ”

Qin Cang explained boringly.

"........Forehead" Meng Zhuoyan wiped the sweat on his head, feeling funny, but he couldn't find a laugh.

"Anyway, let them go! Expelled out! No, issue an order for all the Mamluk merchants to get out of the Black Sea. Let Chen Jia and Wang Chang send people to blockade the coast, and see that all the merchants of the Mamluks were robbed. ”

With a wave of his hand, Qin Cang wanted to drive the Mamluks out of sight.

"That's ....... Not quite right? Is our territory in the Peloponnese still threatened? Qin Changan asked.

Qin Cang shook his head and said, "There is Li Anshi here." I know that he himself organized a small fleet of a dozen ships. Just let him deal with the Mamluks who have and urine in their heads. If that doesn't work, then he can come back. ”

Li Anshi invited Qin Cang last month to force the Duchy of Athens to sign a treaty of submission again.

The treaty stipulated that the Han Chinese could enter and leave the Duchy of Athens at will. The Duchy of Athens was not allowed to impose tariffs that hindered the flow of goods. Every year, the Duchy of Athens paid a tribute of 2,000 happeron as a tribute. The Duchy of Athens had to adopt the Han Chinese approach in chronology. the construction of the Han city in Athens and so on.

To put it mildly, this is a buyer's treaty. The Duchy of Athens will not be a state completely.

However, in the eyes of Wang Chang of Constantinople, this contract marked the ambition of Li Anshi to divide one side. He wrote many times to ask Qin Cang to transfer Li Anshi back. Even if it is to divide the power of Li Anshi.

And Qin Cang's response was that the population sent to Constantinople was two thousand more. Now there are more than 7,000 Han Chinese in Constantinople. And they are all Han people with very pure blood. They cultivated the interior of Constantinople and set up a large number of vending points and workshops. For almost a year, the amount of taxes paid to Constantine XI was equal to that of the city. This is also a preferential tax treaty.

On the other hand, Wang Chang received ten 200-tonnage fast sailing ships and five 500-tonnage Clark galleons from Chen Jia. Usually very good at transporting goods and catching enemies.

And at the same time as the fleet was massively expanded, the Privy Council also complained for a long time. So far, the total size of the fleet has reached more than 30 warships and more than 70 warships. The monthly maintenance cost of such a fleet has reached more than 20,000 hpperon, and the army has also reached a high expenditure of 16,000 hpperen in the process of development.

If it weren't for the fact that the fleet traded in batches in various parts of the Black Sea Economic Circle every month, and finally completed the trade in Chijing, Qin Cang's small government was afraid that it would go bankrupt again.

"By the way, how is this month's porcelain deal?" Qin Cang asked Qin Chang'an.

Qin Chang'an obviously had enough trade volume statistics in his hands.

"So far, we have sold about 300 sets of porcelain, and the income is ........ 700,000 Haiperen. Qin Changan took a sip of tea, and his iron-like face immediately blossomed.

700,000 Happeron!

Qin Cang was a little excited and couldn't help himself!

"But the king had better not get excited. According to my observation, although porcelain in Europe will cause a short period of hot speculation, our shipments may not be very large. After all, there is actually not a lot of demand for porcelain. According to our analysis, the price of porcelain may drop significantly in the future. At present, we are the only ones who are preparing for shipment on a large scale. So the price drop is not too fast, but you have to guard against it! ”
