The atmosphere in the court changed, and Anna, who was just able to speak well, became a foil at this time, and Anna, who was silently waiting on the side and was well versed in politics, knew that since Li Jie had made a decision, no matter what she said at this time, even if she said it fancifully, the other party would not listen, in this case, it was better to wait quietly and wait for the opportunity. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

It's just that Anna, who has never been used like this, still glares at both sides of the debate with hatred from time to time.

At this time, Li Jie showed the unknown side of the Byzantine princess, sitting on the throne calmly, but every word she said made the two Abdullah's busy hands flustered, and the little Chinese that she barely learned was sometimes not fully expressed, and even needed to pull the translation to refute, and Anna who watched it also had to agree with hatred, these days she did look away, and Li Jie, the king of Fujian, who looked so happy and impulsive, was indeed a politician and an old fritter.

Just like now, holding the long sleeves, Li Jie has the temperament of an emperor and a slight condition, and he immediately got up Khalid. Abdullah's already white face turned even pale, and he waved his sleeves in great anger: "King Min, even if you don't believe in Allah, the old man will use a word from the Holy Muslim to persuade you, too gluttonous, you can't walk the single-plank bridge, as soon as the wind blows, you will fall to the bottom of the bridge." ”

No wonder Khalid is so angry, if Li Jie asks for money and gold, even if it is ten times higher, he can agree, anyway, the gold seized in the Persian treasury is enough to pay for more than ten years, the problem is that what Li Jie wants is also the lifeblood of Islam, the population.

"There is a saying in the Central Plains, the twisted melon is not sweet, since so many people in Persia are unwilling to believe in the religion of your country, why not let them come to Fujian, which not only protects them, but also makes your country peaceful, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Li Jie still has that smiling appearance, and the angry Khalid is even more bearded and undecided, money, Li Jie's annual request for 200,000 pieces of gold has been met, but there is an additional requirement, the Arab Empire opens its territory, and Fujian accepts Persian refugees who are unwilling to convert to Islam to take political refuge in Tianzhu.

It is true that Islam spread very fast, as soon as the occupation of Persia began, the Persian people of more than six layers quickly believed in Islam and abandoned the original religion, indeed, the doctrine of Islam that all things are equal and everyone is a brother is very attractive to the lower class of Persian residents, especially the remarks of the Prophet Muhammad, that it is more difficult for the rich to go to heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It's a response.

However, such practices in Islam greatly undermined the interests of the original Persian class.

The Sassanid royal family was originally a rebellion against the sacrifice of the Confession, overthrew the rule of the Sabbath Empire, and established Sassanid Persia, which was established for hundreds of years and implemented the unity of government and religion, and the sacrifice was very powerful in the country, and it was the most supporter of Zoroastrianism.

In this era, people are the capital, especially these people are still the original elite of Persia, for them, the Islamic caliphate court really loves and hates, let them go to Fujian? Khalid was reluctant to say anything.

"King Min rest assured, there are some small rebellions in Persia for the time being, but those people don't know the greatness of Allah and don't understand the canons, it won't be long before they will understand Allah's love, and even if they are stubborn, as long as they pay the poll tax, the great caliph still allows them to continue their original faith, so the old King Min doesn't have to worry about it, in order to obtain peace in Fujian, the great caliph is willing to pay an annual tribute of 400,000 gold coins."

This price is already four times that Khalid opened at the beginning, even if the Persian gold coins are not as big as those of Fujian, they can still crush the elephant when put together, but unfortunately, Li Jie still shook his head and insisted on his position: "Lonely person." ”

Just when Khalid was about to walk away angrily, and Anna once again showed a cunning victory gaze, Li Jie added another sentence slowly

"Since the Islamic Caliph is willing to form a peaceful alliance with Gu, why don't the two countries open up more widely, Fujian restores the smooth flow of the Silk Road in the past, no longer restricts the export of goods, and your country also opens its ports and no longer restricts immigration, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

Khalid froze there in disbelief, and after a moment he turned around in surprise and asked urgently, "Open?" Replying to the previous goods, could it be that Fujian is also willing to export Uzi steel to our country? ”

"No! This is absolutely not a no-go! Without waiting for Li Jie to answer, Anna, the Byzantine princess who had been a spectator for a long time, had already jumped out impatiently to reject this suggestion, and even had a little fear in her brown eyes.

"Brother Min Wang, I can't agree!" also realized that things were not under his control, and looked at Li Jie with his hands on his chest and pleading, Anna's voice even carried a little sadness, and on the other hand, Khalid nodded in ecstasy: "The great caliph is willing to open the border ports and let immigrants move freely to Fujian, as long as Fujian should be exported to Uzi steel." ”

It is no wonder that the two are excited like this, in Central Asia and the Western world in this era, the best weapon is the Damascus knife, the unique pattern of Uzi steel not only produces a charming pattern, but also the invisible fine serration makes the Damascus knife sharper than previous weapons, even the Byzantine strong chain mail can be opened with a knife, the reputation of the Damascus knife makes his raw material origin, the Uzi steel of North India are dull and invisible.

It was because of this misunderstanding that the Arab Empire occupation forces hurriedly defeated Damascus, and they were stunned to find that even the craftsmen here could not make Damascus knives that were as sharp as clay, and then they understood that there was a lack of Uzi steel, the main raw material.

However, Li Jie also attached great importance to this thing, and immediately after infiltrating into Punjab, he immediately included all the major Uzi steel production and mining areas under the jurisdiction of the Fujian imperial court, restricted exports, and even put an end to the export of a piece of Uzi steel after the bad relationship with the black-clothed food.

Anyway, the Min Kingdom itself has to build weapons, and it is not a problem to eat all the output of dozens of blacksmith tribes.

The sharpness of the Damascus knife made both Rome and Persia take advantage of the battle, but this place has fallen into the hands of the Arab Empire forever with Syria, and the Islamic fanatics, the Muslim army has been very violent, relying on the warriors on horseback and camel back, to defeat the invincible ironclad heavy cavalry and war elephants of the Persian Empire, and even more to the Roman Empire's proud infantry formation.

If this is equipped with a Damascus knife, the Islamic army will be like a tiger with wings, which is why Khalid is so excited, even at the expense of immigrating to Li Jie.

Of course, the first victim was Byzantium, which was fighting with the Arab Empire, if it was really as Khalid said, Byzantium had already lost badly on the eastern battlefield, and if it encountered such an army again, it would have to collapse immediately, which is why Anna had a pleading tone in her tone.

It's a pity that Li Jie is the king of Fujian in the end, and after looking at Anna apologetically, Li Jie nodded solemnly at Khalid: "That's right, including Uzi steel, as well as grain, medicinal materials, and cloth, what was sold on the Silk Road in the past, what will be sold in Fujian in the future." ”

"Deal!" Excited without saying anything, Khalid opened his mouth and agreed.

Until now, Amulie has always been a bystander, stunned to watch the confrontation of the three kingdoms, performing, at this time, Anna is also like him, watching the two sides sign the credentials in court, it is really a fool, but it has set up a big enemy for Byzantium.

Seeing that in a harmonious situation, Xiao Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Jian, the secretary of the Honglu Temple, were officially included in the two national documents, with a smile of victory, Li Jie also walked slowly down the Dandian with Wu Meiniang, seeing Li Jie's smiling face, the anger accumulated more and more in Anna's heart, and her white cheeks turned red, and suddenly this fierce Byzantine princess suddenly held her skirt and blocked between Li Jie and Khalid.

It can be seen that after seeing this girl's severed feet and pepper noodles, Li Jie's face turned pale immediately, and Wu Meiniang pulled him by the collar and dragged him out a few meters away.

Without waiting for him to hug him with a smiling face, Anna's words made him dumbfounded again.

"We in Rome are also willing to cease fire with the Arab Empire and sign a peace agreement."

Khalid, the envoy of the Arab Empire, almost didn't laugh out loud, because he still regarded Anna as an opponent before, in the end he was still a little girl's family, and when the matter came, he played a scoundrel, and the Arabs ceded so many interests to Fujian, the purpose was to free up his hands to fight Byzantium, where could he stop so easily? Full of banter, the old guy pinched his waist and leaned over and smiled at Anna: "Princess Anna, if you want a ceasefire, you Byzantium must be vassals, pay tribute, go to Christ, and believe in Islam as the state religion." ”

"We are Roman vassals, Nagong!" Anna nodded again, but as soon as these words came out, the entire Min King Palace was quiet, and Khalid and Li Jie were stunned at the same time.

The Byzantine Empire, or the Eastern Roman Empire, was to be called a tribute?

You must know that Rome in the ancient Western world, just like China in the Eastern world, is the center of the entire Western civilization, thousands of years, countless countries have been destroyed, only others have a part of his vassals, without them bowing their heads, how many powerful empires have not conquered them, and now Anna, the Byzantine princess, personally promised to be a vassal and pay tribute, this news is really no less than the Tang Dynasty's vassal to Goguryeo Li Jie was surprised.

Khalid was also surprised, living in the Middle East, in the shadow of the former Roman Empire, how did the Arab Empire destroy Byzantium, but he never dreamed that Anna would propose to be called a minister, and when he was stunned, Amulel also howled angrily: "Anna, have you figured out what you are talking about?" ”

"yes, I figured it out."

Nodding solemnly, Anna turned back to Li Jie again, carrying a long Mediterranean skirt, and bowed slightly: "Rome is willing to be a vassal, but not like the Arabs, but to the Min State, as a vassal of the Min State, if the suzerainty and the Arab Empire cease fire, Byzantium will also enjoy peace treatment." ”

Only then did he understand, Khalid couldn't help but sneer again, looked at Li Jie with a sneer, and asked in that playful tone: "Your Highness, do you accept the submission of Byzantium?" ”。
