Unlike the history of Li Zhe's original world, Asia in this era is the center of the world, and the world in the eyes of the Song people does not have the position of those small European countries.

Even the maritime trade from the West gave the Song people a deeper understanding of the West, knowing that this was not the beast-like primitive people on the small Pacific islands in the south, but also had their own civilization. But these barbarian countries nesting in the corners of the world want to say something about Tianzhu's national policy, which still makes Qin Jian and the Song people feel a little ridiculous.

This reminded him of a certain idiom in Chinese in the past, Yelang is arrogant?

What is happening in front of you is like what this idiom says.

From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to make enemies with the West, and that was only because of commercial considerations, not because he made unprincipled concessions in some areas.

He believed that even if those guys arrived in Cairo, what they encountered on the old marquis's side would definitely not change anything compared to here, and even with the old marquis's temperament, the situation would be worse at that time.

After doing this, Qin Jian quickly put everything behind him and once again devoted his energy to the construction of Port Said.

………………………………………………

Syria, Damascus, the prince of Tianfang, Qin Fangzheng, who temporarily led Tianzhu's camp in Syria and the Babylon Sea, led his subordinates to sit here.

Although Syria and Babylon have been incorporated into Tianzhu, it is not so easy for the civil order of these two places to integrate into their own social order in a short period of time.

The Qin side, who was in charge of this place for the imperial court on behalf of the Marquis of Tianfang, did not have a good way to deal with this, so he had to try to unify the local tribes first, and establish order first from the almost blank situation. Instead of being scattered like they had before.

The administration of these places before the Ilkhanate was extremely extensive and primitive.

Cities like Damascus and Baghdad are relatively better, and they tend to have a stable ruling class with a long history of maintaining local self-government. The stability of these cities, in turn, became the core of the economic and political order of the surrounding itinerant tribes, somewhat resembling the ancient Italian city-states, but distinct.

It is a traditional order that has been formed locally for thousands of years. Just like the local history.

This order began thousands of years ago and remained unchanged hundreds of years later.

Qin Fang didn't know how such a traditional order was formed, he only knew that whether it was Central Asia, West Asia, or Egypt, all the way to the Tianfang Peninsula, the old nest of their Qin family, they were also such similar traditions.

The Ilkhanate also did not have enough administrative capacity to change this model, but was assimilated by this traditional order.

So this pattern continued to the Ilkhanate as well.

Each year, the tribal chiefs in various places were only required to pay a fixed tax to Tabriz.

For hundreds of years, the Mongols of the Ilkhanate managed their land in this way.

So, from this point of view, the once mighty Ilkhanate was not so much a state as a tribal confederation bound by force. And the Mongols among them were not so much the rulers of the country as the underworld leaders who collected protection money from the various ethnic tribes they conquered below.

The country's economy is based on merchants in three parts and robbery in seven.

Every time they solve a political problem, they organize the army to come and go out to do a vote.

All the countries around the country were the object of their robbery, and sometimes even the Chagatai Khanate, a brother of the same clan, in the north, could not be avoided.

A country that has been established for hundreds of years can run in such an order. It is conceivable that such a state would have some cohesion, and it is no wonder that it would collapse so quickly in such a short period of time.

And the entire world of the continent was once ravaged to that state by such a group of backward and primitive bandits. I have to say that this is really the sadness of history.

This is another proof that the historical process of mankind is not only moving forward, but also going backwards at some point in time. In short, in this time and space, history has turned into a fork in the road, and the former heavenly civilization has disappeared here, and there is no possibility of prosperity again.

Fortunately, the Chinese civilization in this parallel time and space was not completely destroyed, but made a comeback in another form, destined to become the judge and gravedigger of this backward civilization.

So now Qin Fang found that there were only two kinds of people under him, one was a merchant and the other was a robber.

Merchants form the main body of the local social and economic order, while robbers and merchants form mutual restraints, but at the same time they collude with each other.

I am afraid that this kind of place will not be able to govern any local official in the Tianzhu Dynasty, and those officials in the interior who are accustomed to managing the local honest Qianshou peasants, where have they seen such a deformed and perverted society.

Fortunately, the Qin family, the Marquis of Tianfang, has the experience of laying down and governing the Tianfang Peninsula, and the situation there back then would not be much better than it is now.

Therefore, the Qin family is probably the only prince under the Tianzhu court who can take over these places in a short period of time, and this is also the reason why the imperial court will entrust this place to the Qin family.

Of course, the imperial court entrusted these two places to the Qin family, and at the same time had some more obscure thoughts.

The Qin family's influence in the west is too great, and the timing of the subsequent digging of the Yihe Canal this time is too fast.

When a local prince reaches the point of the Qin family, it has also aroused the vigilance of the imperial court.

Let the Qin family take over the two places, so that the Qin family's expansion in Egypt will be restricted, and the resources originally used for the construction of Egypt will inevitably be transferred to these two places, and at the same time, the border relationship between the Qin family and Byzantium will be more tense, so that the Qin family has to invest more in the military, which will drag down the Qin family in disguise.

In short, this is the silent political game that takes place beneath the surface of the policy.

The old marquis of the Qin family is scheming, and it is impossible not to know.

But even if he knew that he could only silently accept this arrangement, who made it impossible for the Qin family to break away from Tianzhu and stand on their own?

Although the Qin family was strong, and its strength was comparable to that of a regional power like Byzantium, their strategic posture determined that it was impossible for them to betray Tianzhu.

With such a powerful suzerainty like Tianzhu behind him, it is destined that the future of the Qin family can only go all the way to the west.

To the west, to the west, the future of the Qin family is all in the west.

I'm afraid the Tianfang Hou family has already seen this clearly.
