Wu Meiniang's advantages are like this, she is as careful as a hair, and she is good at figuring out people's hearts, when she married Li Zhi, a cowardly guy who has no opinions, Wu Meiniang played herself as a big sister who could help Li Zhi bear, and the two spent the difficulties together. XsHuotXT

Especially what made Li Jie trust her very much was that Li Jie didn't open her mouth to let her move, even if it was to deal with the Wu family, she would never look at the chaos.

Now too, it is obvious that seeing a lot of messy twists and turns must be the source of Li Jie's anger, but after coming in, except for silently comforting Li Jie, she didn't go for a second look.

At this time, his mood was stable, and he finally opened his eyes, picked up a book and handed it over, Li Jie muttered angrily: "You can see it yourself."

This book is still a recital given by the Ministry of Rites, which can be regarded as a curiosity satisfied, opened briskly, Wu Meiniang read ten lines at a glance, but in the end, it is a woman, Li Jie is annoyed by something, looking at it, Wu Meiniang actually laughed out loud.

"Hey, it's Anna, the little vixen, who caused trouble."

Jealous Wu Meiniang never carried Li Jie behind her back, and listening to his schadenfreude made Li Jie smile helplessly.

"You're relieved."

All emotions happen on the surface, this is a family, so even if Wu Meiniang is jealous, Li Jie is helpless and smiles bitterly, and his heart is a little more relaxed.

"Isn't it just an inheritance, anyway, Anna can't go back to Byzantium to be the empress, it's a big deal to give it to Constantine, but you can't let it out so easily, plan carefully, you will definitely be able to peel off the skin of Byzantium!" In the blink of an eye, the image of a good wife was thrown aside, revealing a little wild cat-like personality, holding the fold, Wu Meiniang shook her fist slightly excitedly, and Li Jie, who listened to it, almost didn't vomit blood.

"Can't let it out, my Zhao'er, Anna is in our hands, her heirs, grandchildren can seek the position of Byzantine emperor at any time, once they announce their abandonment, people's hearts are scattered, there is no chance, no matter how much Byzantium is exploited now, it will not be worth it!"

The dignified King of Min actually showed a slightly flattering expression, holding Wu Meiniang's hand, Li Jie said with a smile: "Gu Zao knows that My family Zhao'er is a rare Zhiduoxing in the world, quickly help Gu think of a way to prevaricate this group of short-sighted ministers and send that Byzantine dwarf away."

It's a pity that this time, King Min's sycophants are not easy to use, jealous, the woman is not allowed by anyone, rolling her eyes, Wu Meiniang angrily turned her face to the side, pouted and said with vinegar: "Isn't that little fox spirit shrewd?" Let her solve it herself, where is the need for the concubine to come up with ideas? ”

Wu Meiniang was sour, humming with vinegar, who knew but Li Jie's eyes lit up.

After a crisp snap, Li Jie trotted outside excitedly, shouting while running: "Yes! Anna caused trouble, let her solve it by herself, **** what kind of heart! Or is my family smart, Zanpo, people? Give Gu out, pass Gu an order to go to the Persian Gulf......"

Rubbing her numb little buttocks, looking at Li Jie's departing back, Wu Meiniang was speechless for a moment, she didn't want to come up with an idea, but she still gave it unintentionally.

"That doesn't make this little vixen so easy! Gotta get her in some trouble! ”

The vermilion lips skimmed to the side, and under the stimulation of vinegar, Wu Meiniang was so careless for the first time, and she ran out quickly with the corner of her skirt.

A large number of officials wrote to ask Anna to give up the inheritance, from the Beijing Division, with a purple seal, and Li Jin's urgent military information was pressed alone............

The northern tip of West Asia is still slightly cold, but the endless desert in the south is still so hot, although they are all peninsulas that stretch into the sea, India at the same latitude is prone to rainfall, the land is fertile, but the southern Arabia is a very hot, everywhere is next door and golden sand dunes, nature, is so cruel.

But between the endless yellow sand and the rippling sand of the Persian Gulf, it was not lifeless, and not far from the bay, a new city began to take shape, and merchant ships from Tianzhu or Khorasan on the other side of the Persian Gulf brought timber from the Hindu Kush and white marble from the southern islands of Iran to this desolate shore, and the nearby Arabian oasis tribes were manipulated, and there were already two streets and a large military camp of the city lord's palace on this bone-stricken coastline.

This city, which is still in its embryonic state, will have a resounding name in future generations, Dubai, the city of local tyrants!

It's a pity that there is no era of industrialization, and the oil buried in the land does not have a huge role in later generations, so Dubai in this era is far from being comparable to later generations, but fortunately, nature is fair, giving this harsh environment and some rare treasures here.

*Myrrh.

These two magical spices are more expensive than gold, and only produced in South Arabia and North Africa, Somalia and other regions with harsh climates, and have been rare and genuine products for royal nobles since ancient times.

As soon as this policy came out, the major chambers of commerce in Beijing immediately broke their heads, especially the newly built Dubai port in Damin, and countless people crossed the sea to show their magical powers, it is said that Princess Gaoyang went to the King of Min to intercede for this reason and did not make a good move, and finally a large chamber of commerce specializing in spices in Southeast Asia grabbed this position.

It is not for nothing that Dubai has become the city of local tyrants in later generations, this place has an excellent harbor, opposite Khorasan, from North Tianzhu to the valley of the two rivers, or bypassing the Arabian Peninsula, merchant ships going to the Mediterranean Sea have to pass through here, and other developed coastal city settlements, collected *, myrrh, and other Arab specialties also need to be transported back to Damin from here.

The arrival of the Min people slowly brought about a win-win situation, and the Fujian Chamber of Commerce brought a large amount of food and a large number of job opportunities to the local Arab tribes to bring wealth and peace, and the development of the local area also brought new wealth to the Great Min.

At the time of spring farming, it is the season of * and myrrh harvest, and the two streets of Dubai Port have almost become overcrowded, and the pursuit of money has made the big businessmen from Tianzhu like flies crowding the streets, and maybe a basin of foot washing water can spray seven or eight people who have heads and faces in Beijing, but here, they are like Xiaofan on the stall, holding gold and silver, frantically pursuing batch after batch of goods*, myrrh.

As long as you buy it, you are not afraid of arrears, the major commercial cities of Tianzhu, Manila in the south, Fuzhou in the north, and even Guanzhong are all large distribution centers, even if the trade routes of the Arab Empire are opened, they are still in short supply every year.

It is not uncommon to see the camel caravans of the Arabs striding out of the desert, carrying bags full of myrrh, which were sold out in less than a moment, and the pockets of tribal elders and nobles were stuffed with gold coins.

However, in commercial dealings, there is always a sale, there is always a buy, except for a small part as a surplus by the tribal chieftains, most of the money from the sale of * is exchanged for grain, daily necessities, silk, tea, porcelain, especially tobacco, money comes easily, and the cunning Fujian merchants can always empty the last copper plate of the Bedouins, and by the moonlight, one by one the Bedouin caravans leading the swaggering camels back, almost everyone has a big cigarette pouch in their mouths.

At the height of the market, even these big businessmen didn't have time to notice a few young men in fancy clothes standing on the side of the street watching all this.

The head is also wrapped in an Arab turban, Li Rang even magically smokes on his head, even if the spring is not so hot, the temperature here is twenty* degrees, and the water wrapped in the turban will evaporate after a while.

Around this, Li Rang is still happy, busy with the official affairs of the Marshal's Mansion, Li Rang is always willing to come here to have a look, now he understands why his father Li Jie is so belligerent, pioneering, it is indeed a kind of endless fun.

Beside him, the little aunt Anna is not so idle, Byzantine women seem to be born idle, even if they come out to let off steam, Anna is constantly bargaining with a few Bedouin Tu.

After all, the expeditionary force of the Min people is a minority here, so the Min people who advanced into Saudi Arabia followed the practice of the British in later generations, and this Dubai port was established and ruled by six local Bedouin tribes and the Marshal's Palace, as well as the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, and colluded with the local forces to establish the royal road of colonial rule.

However, not everyone is so happy, following Li Rang to be stationed in Dubai Harbor to fight sand thieves in the desert, at this time, Li Yexu also came out to observe the people's feelings, looking at Li Rang's taller and taller back, Li Yexu's face was always a little worried.

Having advanced into the middle of the desert and gathered hundreds of tribes to recognize his Arab caliphate, he now had no fewer than 40,000 outlaw nomadic cavalry in his hands, relying on trade in the coastal ports to maintain his dominance, and he formed a tight political alliance with Li Jean.

With money and soldiers in his hands, as well as foreign allies, Li Rang has become more and more arbitrary in his actions recently, and even sometimes ignores his own opinions.

This situation is too similar, too similar to Li Jie in Fuzhou at the beginning, Li Yexu is very worried, Li Jie's connivance may have cultivated the next round of disaster for Damin.

Sometimes Li Yexu really can't figure it out, the King of Min is so wise and wise, didn't he see the brothers of Emperor Yang of Sui fighting and the bloody fight of his father's generation?

It's not that I haven't thought of using some means to reduce Li Rang's strength, but it's a pity.

Looking at Anna, who had been tanned a little and was still bargaining with the emir of Turpan in self-taught Arabic and a little tanned, Li Yexu shook his head in embarrassment.

Li Jie was really good to his son, and he also sent this ghost-like girl to take care of him, and she saw through Li Yexu's methods several times.

Just when Li Yexu was lamenting again, between the originally empty northern desert hills, hundreds of black-armored iron horsemen rolled up the sky full of smoke and dust, and rushed towards Dubai, which was still simple.

"The King of Min has a will, quickly recruit Concubine Hui, and the governor of the river is the governor of the province, Anna. His Highness Heraclius! ”
