Hong Tao does not want to study in detail the political and religious patterns and trends in the Middle East, and he has gradually lost the advantage of being a traverser, because under his influence, not only the pattern of Asia has undergone earth-shaking changes, but also the Middle East and Europe have been affected a lot.

The Khorezm kingdom was supposed to have been defeated and annexed by the Mongol Empire in history, but because he had been causing trouble for the Mongol Empire in the east, the Mongol Empire was forced to slow down its westward expedition and now simply stopped. With the exception of the Kipchak Khanate in Batu, which had penetrated deep into Eastern Europe, the Middle East was not occupied by the Mongol army. Moreover, it is very questionable whether the Ilkhanate can still exist among the four major Mongolian khanates, and the actual ruler here is still Khorezm.

"This is the tragedy of the A-La-Bo people, the huge empire has declined, if our caliphs can also have a broad mind like Your Majesty, tolerate all religions and all kinds of peoples, and use wisdom to let them get along well, then Your Majesty should see a much larger empire now. Now the real Arajab Empire is only a small area around Baghdad, whether it is Cairo or Damascus, which is ruled by the Turks, although they are also ******, but not the Azarabs. It was not Alin who answered Hong Tao's question, because he didn't know, he was just a small merchant in the A\La tribe, and he had not returned since he was captured by Hong Tao, and his knowledge of the Middle East came from other Arab merchants.

The man who spoke was an old man wrapped in a turban, wearing a long robe, and a bearded man, his name was Said, and he was a true historian and philosopher from Jerusalem, who was invited by Friedrich II to give a lecture at the University of Naples, and later followed Hong Tao back to the Great Song Dynasty as an exchange scholar. This time, Hong Tao wants to open a route for big food. The first thing that came to mind was these Arab scholars, and Saeed volunteered to sign up for only one reason, to go to the city of Jinhe.

The dozen or so scholars that Hong Tao brought back from Europe stayed in Jinhe for only a few days before they were sent to Guangzhou and Quanzhou, where there were special Arabic interpreters. You can take them to the local school to listen to lectures and give lectures. But these people are not easy to deceive, because they all have a smart brain, and they soon feel that Jinhe City is different from the Southern Song Dynasty. It's very different, so he began to make a request and wanted to go to Jinhe City to see, but was rejected by Hong Tao Laipi Lai. I really couldn't rely on it, so I used money to buy them a large courtyard in the city of Guangzhou, and invited famous doctors and local celebrities from all over the country to communicate with them. Drain all their time and make them feel powerless.

This trick was very useful, but it was not complete, and they still didn't forget about Jinhe City. This time, it was Hong Tao's turn to ask for their help, so they also put forward a condition, they could be a consultant to Hong Tao, they could take him to the A-La Bo area, and they could even introduce more A-La Bo scholars to Hong Tao. But Hong Tao had to agree to let their representatives go to Jinhe City to investigate, and this Saeed was their representative.

Saeed had only lived in Golden River for less than ten days. was pulled onto the boat by the flood and pulled out. Although this old man is a philosopher, his knowledge is very varied, from literature, medicine, mathematics, and even metallurgy is not ambiguous.

Hong Tao was afraid to chat with this Said. This guy is a pure scholar, everything is from an academic point of view, and there is no concept of a country and a nation. He thinks that Hong Tao should rule more places and spread out the set of things in Jinhe City, which he thinks is the progress of mankind. Now he has begun to write a book for Hong Tao. This thing is much more powerful than Vinnan's book, because Said is a very famous religious scholar in the world of A'l'Ap, and they call it Ulema, which probably means special learning. Anyway, after Arin heard that Said was Ulema, he immediately lay on the ground and took a bite on the old man's whale skin sandals.

"Let's go to the Red Sea first, then to Alin's hometown, and finally to the Persian Gulf." Hong Tao didn't care who was the real A-La Bo or who were other nationalities, he just wanted to find one or two suitable ports to sell his goods, and by the way, see if he could find a permanent port here. Of course, this can't be said too plainly, and it has to be under the guise of cultural exchange, otherwise Said will look down on you, and then he won't have to help you, and then there will be a lot of trouble. Going to a completely unfamiliar place, there must be a big difference between having acquaintances and not having acquaintances.

"Your Majesty should go to the Holy City to have a look...... If Your Majesty is worried about insecurity, I can go to the Sultan and ask him to send troops to protect His Majesty's caravan. His Majesty went to the Holy City from the East with goods, which was the glory of the Arabs, and even if it was impossible to enter the Holy City, the real ****** could be seen. Saeed listened to Hong Tao's route plan and had his own opinions.

"Mr. Sai, I am the emperor of the empire, and my every move is restricted by the Imperial Council, not to do whatever I want, and I can't change my course at will without the authorization of the Imperial Council. As much as I would love to visit the Holy City, and even worship there according to Arab etiquette, I have to always think that I am the Emperor and take the lead in obeying the laws of the Empire, don't you say? "Fear of death, not daring to go, not believing in Said's ability, this is the real reason why Hong Tao did not go to Mecca. But you can't say that, let the council help him with the thunder, Hong Tao is very willing, this can show his tallness.

"Your Majesty is the greatest person I have ever met, an emperor who can regard the law as higher than power and can still do it, Your Majesty is the first!" But Saeed still ate the flood wave, and the words of praise were immediately like a surging river, and he couldn't stop it, and Alin frowned when he heard it. If he closed his eyes, he really couldn't hear that he was talking about Hong Tao.

In fact, Said is really not a flatterer, he is indeed a scholar, and he is very knowledgeable, especially in the history of A. Not only was he very prestigious in the region of A-La, but even European emperors like Friedrich II knew about him. However, he has not been learning Chinese for too long, he can simply speak and write, and can only understand Chinese literally, so he can't hear Hong Tao's nonsense, nor can he say that kind of bright and dark words.

Hong Tao used language to tease this old man, not because he didn't respect this old scholar, he had this habit of speaking, as long as he didn't deliberately stick to it, it was easy to sneak out. In fact, on the contrary, he had great respect for Said, and from this old man he learned a great deal about the people of A'ra, which were of great use to him in understanding this people.

Semitic, which is the origin of the A-La-Ber people, not only gave birth to an A-La Bo people, but also the Semitic people eventually became the Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians and Hebrews on the A-La Ber Peninsula, the birthplace of the Semitic people. Who are the Hebrews? O Jews! Could it be that the Arabs and Jews, who fought the same as the feud in the Hereafter, were originally the same ancestor? It's really true that not only their ancestors are the same, but even their religions have a lot of connections.

What is the difference between the A-Rah-Al and the people of other peoples? Certainly, each nation has its own unique culture and character, which is directly related to the living environment of the nation. The central part of the A-La Bahr Peninsula is dominated by deserts and lava Gobi areas, and large grasslands are in Mesopotamia and Syria, as well as coastal areas. But these green spaces could not support so many people, and the Arabian Peninsula was surrounded by water on three sides, so many people began to develop into the heart of the desert, and the Bedouins were the largest of them.

These deserts on the A-La Bre Peninsula are different from the Sahara Desert in North Africa in that they are surrounded by the sea on three sides, so there is no lack of water vapor, especially in winter, when a layer of grass grows in many desert areas. After slowly getting acquainted with the desert, the Bedouins chose to stay in the desert with their herd. There is no fixed river, but there are many seasonal riverbeds, and during the dry season, they are just ravines. For outsiders, this is a ravine, but for the Bedouins, this is a natural road sign, and by following these road signs, they can carry camel caravans and horse herds up and down the desert Gobi with ease.

The natural environment is harsh, but Allah has not abandoned the A\Ra\Bo people, and there are many specialties here. First of all, there are camels, which are the family of the Bedouins, and it is difficult to move an inch in the desert without camels. Both the Egyptians and the Turks referred to the Bedouins as "parasites on camels", while the Bedouins themselves called themselves camels. This alone is not enough to explain how inseparable the Bedouins are from camels, which have been removed from the category of domestic animals and turned into a very strong physical currency. Personal wealth, wagers, bride price are calculated in camels, and even the kidnappers' ransom indicates how many camels are worth.

Why are camels so beloved by the Bedouins? Because it is practical, it can not only be used as a mount and a pannier, but also provide the Bedouins with dairy products, camel meat, leather, camel hair, and even camel dung and camel urine are not wasted, camel dung can be used as fuel when dried, and camel urine can be used as medicine.

If you lose fresh water in the desert, you're basically dead. But if you have a herd of camels by your side, you can live for at least another month! Almost every Bedouin has drunk the water from the camel's stomach, and all it takes is to poke a stick into the camel's throat and the camel will spit out the water from the stomach. Because the camel's stomach has a special function, the water it spits out will still be able to drink.

A caliph of A'Ra'b once said that the people of 'A'ra'b prosper only where the camels like.
