Chapter 26: Departure Order
Anna's reply to the request of the Relaya merchants was to allow them to use the port of Seleucia, and to take a stake in the Great Trading Post of the Iconium Merchant Road, but to pay the same duties on merchant ships, the surcharge on goods sold by the Relaya merchants to the country of Tarsus, and the rental of the warehouse, as well as to make an advance investment in the iron mines.

However, this is not unacceptable for the Hot Duck, a state that is very different from Venice, which is a tightly knit pig, while the Hot Duck is like a donkey that can be scattered at any time, they are fierce and strong, but they lack unity and order. The few river estates and castles near the port of the state were divided equally among the major families, and they did not give up to each other for power, so even if the "fisherman Henry" of the Levant was dissatisfied with the trade agreement with Tarsus, he was just a pirate thug hired by several families of the Hot Duck, and the mercenary Hot Duck and Anna reached the above agreement, to put it bluntly, it was only a matter of time and procedure.
In addition to diplomatic and trade documents, Anna also issued a general order to the newly established group of female officials, that is, to introduce the cultivation of hemp bamboo in the Tarsus Palace, "This beautiful plant can be made into an arrow shaft used to kill people, which is really to my liking." This is Anna's explanation, the latitude of Tarsus is suitable for the north of India and China, and it is almost the only place in Europe suitable for growing hemp bamboo. Ma bamboo, in addition to the formation of a verdant landscape, can also be used to make many utensils, including the piece of tube, the long arrow on the crossbow, the toughness of the bamboo can make this long arrow play a strong flight stability and lethality, once a large number of successful introduction in the palace, Anna is ready to promote it, the formation of a scale production in the country. There is also the cultivation and breeding of camels in the Great Xia, which is also on the agenda of the Superintendent of Agriculture in charge of Anna, "In the great victory of our army on the Sebastian Plateau, the great lord and the patron captured two thousand live camels, and I saw this strange and charming livestock at the celebration of Tarsus, it is docile and powerful, especially suitable for use in the plateau and desert, the Roman Empire has seen this kind of livestock in the wars with Persia and Saracen in the past, and now the Maharaja of Ben Caesar intends to set up pastures in Melitane, Caron and other places, and in the future he will be to me ** The actions of both caravans and caravans can provide a particularly useful boost. In conclusion, there are two basic issues that must be considered by the nation, namely the army and the money to feed the army. And the Great Xia camel can meet the needs of these two aspects. β
After the meeting of the royal ladies who conveyed the resolutions one by one, little Helena had fallen asleep, and Anna also leaned on the couch to relieve the fatigue of the day, ready to go to bed immediately, and suddenly she said to the sleeping officer who was gently pinching her feet, "Wen Ruominna, in the future, the big guarantor and I will welcome the little sunfish back, she doesn't dare to target me or anything, but you can ......."
Hearing Caesar's intimidation, Wen Ruomina lowered her head in horror, after all, she was also an important "accomplice" that night, and the little sunfish was bound to repay her, so Wen Ruomina begged Anna to protect her, "Master Mother, you must know that His Royal Highness the Great Patron is very indulgent and partial to Lord Plani, and no one else in this kingdom is comparable to His Excellency Hetomia and Lady Caleadeo. β
"Who called the little sunfish so smart! The big barbarian will like smart girls. Anna replied lazily.
"I heard that during the farewell in Seleucia, the Grand Patron gave Lord Plani some kind of 'immunity', doesn't this mean that when she returns, she can fish and hunt at will in the court? I beg you, Your Highness Caesar, I will be at your disposal in the court for as many years as you want, and I hope that you will allow me a good marriage in the future, instead of being ...... by Lord Plani If that spreads, it will be difficult for me to marry. β
"Do you want to marry the privy counsellor of the Sixth Division in two years, or some brave and upright Centurion of the Forbidden Army?"
"It's all your grace, Caesar, and I'm overjoyed. I will not leave you after I get married, and I want to continue to serve you. "The sleeping officer is pitiful.
At this moment, Anna laughed and pinched the beautiful chin of the sleeping officer, "Look at these dark eyebrows and rosy lips, no wonder the little sunfish is fascinated by you, even if you are an earl, you can marry." You're a little night owl I'm getting more and more satisfied with, and you can even hear about the immunity given to the little sunfish by the big barbarian, and it seems that you have eyes and ears in the court. β
Wen Ruomina's face turned pale in an instant, "It's all for Caesar to have a better grasp of his subordinates." β
"Well, I will not forget your faithfulness. Compared to the return of the little sunfish, which doesn't have to worry about you at all, there is still a walking task for you right now. Send this letter to the city of Sebastian, where the Great Patron is stationed, and you are Caesar's agent. You send it yourself, and the document is about the internal planning of the other place and Meritaeβand then you return with the great guarantor. Anna handed the sealed paperwork on the small table to the other party, and specially added, "Be honest, don't let me down." β
"Yes." When Wen Ruomina held the sealed paperwork in her hand, turned into the room next to the dormitory, walked through the long wardrobe, and walked to her own small mirror room, she figured it out, knowing that this trip was not only for Caesar to let her deliver the papers, but also to test herself by the way, the subtext of "don't let me down" should be, "I deliberately give you and the great guarantor to be alone for almost two months, just to see if you can hold back, if you dare to run to the room of the great guarantor to seduce him, then you will be finished, if you stand the test, Then I will be able to give you the exclusive position of sleeping officer with peace of mind. β
"Thank you, Goddess of Wisdom, Goddess of Yew, and thank you Vogoth Money." After attaining wisdom, the sleeping officer immediately opened the small shrine hidden in the mirror cabinet, which enshrined the ancient pagan gods and small lacquered wooden statues of the ancestors, "O Vorgos, I beg you to bless me with the safety and smoothness of this journey.
