Tribute is not trade, but it is ten times more profitable than the world's most profitable trade, the maritime trade.

Fifty to seventy times the profits of ordinary maritime trade, but the reward for offering goods to the imperial court in the form of tribute from foreign envoys could be equivalent to ten times the value of the goods. Because only in this way can the wealth and generosity of the Celestial Empire be reflected.

In other words, the same shipload of goods, if honestly trading with the Song Dynasty, "can only get fifty to seventy times the income, but if it is used for tribute, it will have five hundred to seven hundred times the profit!"

What does it mean to do one vote enough to spend a lifetime, this is called one vote enough to spend a lifetime...

Of course, the subject of the tribute must be the state. The generous reward of the Celestial Empire is based on the submission of the Fanbang, the so-called "I go to the king's way, and the summer returns,."

However, a gentleman surnamed Ma said in later generations that 300 percent of the profits were enough for the capitalists to trample on all the laws and morals of the world, let alone 500 times the profits. Therefore, since ancient times, there have been cases of impersonating envoys of other countries to pay tribute, and it is shocking that these people who take risks often succeed, and only a small number of them are identified and beheaded.

This is not because of how clever their deception is, but because of the ignorance of the Celestial Empire in this world, it is easy for liars to take advantage of loopholes; There is another reason, that is, the four emperors of this dynasty, two of them are not in the right position, one has auspicious syndrome, and the other is holding back his strength to be a benevolent monarch for the ages, so they have no resistance to the coming of all nations, and they are willing to be the wronged leader. The so-called good deeds of the upper and lower levels, in order to gain credit and leave a name in history, local officials also turn a blind eye to it, as long as it is not fake, they are willing to recommend it to the imperial court for them.

Of course, the Great Song Dynasty treasury is no longer as rich as it was when Taizu was in the past. This kind of money to buy goose feathers for a living, no one can afford to pay tribute too many times, but it can't help but let people pay tribute, so the court came up with a compromise method to stipulate the number of tributes for each country. The nearest one pays tribute a year, and the far one pays a tribute for several years. Tributes outside the prescribed number shall not be allowed by the border government and the municipal shipping department.

As soon as this move came out, the phenomenon of impersonating envoys was greatly reduced, and it has even disappeared over the years. However, after the Seljuks entered Baghdad, Aziz realized that the opportunity had ......, and he knew very well that the Seljuks would never pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, so the official tribute must have been cut off.

From the time the Seljuks came to Baghdad to the present, it has been three years now, and it is the year of tribute, since the Seljuks will definitely not come, then Aziz will go for them, saving the waste of indicators.

He persuaded his creditors to give him one last chance to sell his property for this adventure. In order to improve the success of the sheep, he bought a full set of customs clearance documents...... under the rule of the Seljuks, the original court bureaucrats are all unemployed, as long as they are willing to pay, they will help you make any kind of documents. He even hired an official who had been an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty as his personal entourage to embark on this fraudulent journey. It's a pity that the guy was not in good health, and he got sick halfway through ....... …,

Because of the official's violent death, and because he had been to Guangzhou and Quanzhou several times, he was worried that he would be recognized and exposed, so he chose an unpopular port like Qinzhou Port.

In fact, he also deceived Wang Han into a daze, but it was not just that his luck was too bad, but his luck was too good, he actually ran into Chen Tian's .......

11111,111,

"Alright, I'm done with what I need to say." Aziz spread his hands and said, "Lord Chen, you can despise me as much as you want. ”

"No, no, I admire your courage and wisdom, and if you hadn't met me, you would have succeeded." Chen Tian shook his head and smiled: "If possible, let's make friends." ”

"Spider again," Aziz said with wide eyes, "My lord and I, ......, fraudster?" ”

"Don't bite a scammer." Chen Tian shook his head and smiled: "I can help you wash away this crime." ”

"Oh." Aziz said happily: "How to wash it off?" ”

"I'll talk to that Lord Wang tomorrow, and I'll just say that you are actually here to ask the Great Song Dynasty for assistance in restoring the country, and he will naturally not bother with you anymore, and this matter will be over." Chen Tian said with a smile. Liu Yue'e behind him was helpless to break ......, this person was so bold and reckless, he didn't have any knots at all.

"I see what you mean." Aziz suddenly understood and said, "I'll give you ten catties of gold to do the work, how about it." ”

"Personnel ......." Chen Tian, this sweat, looked back at Liu Yue'e and said, "Am I like a corrupt official who asks for bribes and accepts bribes?" ”

Liu Yue'e nodded affirmatively.

"Damn." Chen Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Look how I clean you up when I go back." ”

"My lord, is it too little?" Aziz's face changed and he said: "Right now, I really can't come up with more money, but don't worry, when the tribute is successful, I will still have a generous gift." ”

"Stay.!" Chen Tianyin lowered his face and said: "I, an official of the Song Dynasty, if I help you treat the Great Song Dynasty as a fool, can I still be considered a person?" ”

"This ......" Aziz didn't understand: "Since my lord doesn't allow me to pay tribute, how can I be a friend?" "At any time, a person who betrays his country will not be truly respected, and vice versa.

"Can't you be friends without paying tribute?" Chen Tian's expression softened and said, "How much do you owe people in total?" ”

"Eighty thousand dinars......." After Aziz finished speaking, he explained that the dinar was an Arabic gold coin, and 80,000 dinars were 1,144 catties of gold...... About 180,000 taels of silver, and you can't earn it back without relying on tribute.

"I'm ......." Chen Tian couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Seeing that Chen Tian was frightened, Aziz looked like he was stunned, and the cabin fell into a quiet ...... again.

a, ", a, v, ,、,,

How much can you sell for this boat? After a long silence, Chen Tian raised his head.

"About 50,000 times." Aziz thought for a moment.

"Okay, the remaining 130,000 yuan, I'm out!" Chen Tian gritted his teeth and said.

"My lord, are you kidding?" Aziz was dumbfounded.

"Am I kidding?" Chen Tian said with pain on his face.

"Oh no, Lord Chen, you are really my most noble friend." Aziz hurriedly shook his head exaggeratedly, got up and saluted, "Say, what do you want from me?" Even if you want me to dig out my heart and lungs. "Naturally, how can there be a lunch in the world that doesn't cost money? …,

"Don't say that, dear friend." Chen Tian said lightly: "I don't need the organs on your body, as long as you can teach my people, a little gadget." ”

"What gadgets?" Aziz said with a wary expression. A shrewd businessman like him naturally knew that the gadget that the other party was willing to buy for 130,000 taels of silver was definitely not a gadget.

"I just need you to teach my people how to find their way across the ocean." Chen Tian picked up the wine glass and turned it slightly.

"What the hell is this......." Aziz muttered, "It's mostly experience, and experienced captains know where the reef and shoals are, and what signs are before the storm comes." Know that you can judge the position of the ship by ...... such as the color of the seawater, small islands and reefs, and the appearance of various black species. ”

"Really?" Chen Tian smiled and said, "On the ocean, how can there be so many signs for you to identify?" ”

"Your Excellency is right, sailing in the open sea is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will get lost." Aziz said: "So the main thing is to use the land shore signs. Therefore, most of our merchant ships sail along the coast. We started from Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, and sailed along the coast through India, Ceylon, Burma, and Malacca, all the way to the Great Song ......, and I could take my men with me on the way back to get acquainted with our routes. ”

Chen Tian listened to him patiently, and then said lightly: "Do you think that such a trip is worth 130,000 yuan?" Is my money so cheap? ”

“……。” Aziz said after a while: "That's how we all go. ”

"Then forget it." Chen Tian stood up and said, "I think I have shown a lot of sincerity and want to make friends with you, but you are still coaxing me." ”

"Stay, sir." Aziz hurriedly stopped him and said, "I'm also very sincere. ”

"No, you're hiding the most important thing from me." Chen Tian said coldly.

"What?" Aziz's pupils shrank.

"Astrology." Chen Tian paused and said, "Or the latitude navigation method!" ”

"I don't understand what the adults are saying?" Aziz shook his head blankly.

"Coastal navigation is not only time-consuming, but also subject to all kinds of harassment." Chen Tian's eyes stared at Aziz like a sword and said, "And you are not sailing along the coast at all, but sailing in the open sea!" It depends on this astrological technique" or rather, the latitude navigation method! After a pause, he said word by word: "Only this is worth 130,000 yuan, friend, are you right?" ”

Aziz was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.

"Since it's embarrassing, forget it." Chen Tian shook his head, and Liu Yue, who was behind the well, said, "Let's go." ”

"Wait......." When Chen Tian was about to step out of the hatch, Aziz's hoarse voice sounded: "You demon wind..."

Before Chen Tian could speak, Aziz's nephew, the young man named Bageri, shouted excitedly. Then the two ensued a heated conversation.

Although they spoke Arabic, Chen Tian could guess that Bagheri must have objected to his uncle and handed over the astrology.

Opposition is inevitable, because it is the greatest secret of the Arabs across the seven seas. It is precisely because they have mastered this secret that they have monopolized the trade routes on the sea, and let merchants from all over the world become their wage earners.
