In order to canonize Byzantium, the Fujian State formed a huge mission, a full hundred carriages loaded with the rewards of the suzerain, and more than 1,000 knights of various ethnic groups with tall horses guarded, all of them with bright armor and great majesty, but the envoy who led the team was a minor official, but from the five grades of the Ministry of Rites.

To tell the truth, the high-level officials of Fujian did not believe that Byzantium came back to claim refuge, after all, the empire of one boss has been established for more than a thousand years, and it is the hegemon of the entire civilized world, but since Anna has promised, Fujian must respond, whether it succeeds or not, this political show will still spread the reputation of Fujian to Central Asia and attract those small tribal countries that have been plundered by power.

Even the princesses of Byzantium went to Fujian to ask for help, how powerful, civilized and rich Fujian should be! Fame can definitely fool many people to defect, so even if the envoy is likely to be cut down, Fujian still has to send so many things to meat buns and dogs, which is a political benefit that no amount of money can buy.

Listening to the sound of Li Jie's arrival outside, he had no choice but to put down the grapes, Anna jumped out of the car lazily, this kung fu, Li Jie also rushed to the carriage in full costume, black pearl flowing crown, black dragon robe, a mighty imperial look, but before he could say a word or two under the cover of Huang Luo's fan, Anna's delicate voice had already sounded in front.

"The little woman has seen the King of Min, the Immortal King Min has sent more, with these things, I will return to Byzantium very soon, goodbye."

Carrying her skirt and performing a lady's ceremony, Anna's words almost choked Li Jie to death, her face was green, and Li Jie shook her head with a wry smile for a long time, shook her sleeves and said, "You girl." ”

"Why don't you go back?" sighed with emotion, Li Jie's face suddenly turned straight, he was quite pity, and he kept it seriously. Looking at the sincerity in Li Jie's eyes, Anna was stunned.

"Why?"

"Don't think that Lone doesn't know, what Byzantine vassals, it's all your blowing, as the king of Min there are some things I have to do, as a friend, I can protect you, I never want you to go back and have an accident."

The exchange of interests is relative, Anna proposed that Byzantium should pay tribute to Fujian, so that Fujian and the Arab Empire could not stand together after all, and the general trend of Fujian propaganda invisibly lowered Byzantium's national character and raised herself, this cause and effect, no matter what Anna's starting point is, she will inevitably need to bear it after returning to Byzantium.

Li Jie asked himself, if Li Shimin sent him to envoy to Goguryeo back then, he would dare to say to Yuangai Suwen in the Goguryeo court that the Tang Dynasty would submit to Goguryeo, and no matter who pleaded for mercy after returning to China, it was estimated that Li Shimin would have to abolish him.

People have feelings, in the end and after getting along with this weird elf girl for so many days, Li Jie is also reluctant, sincere attitude, and finally let Anna, who has been hard for so many days, softened, and after being stunned, Anna also sighed.

"If Brother Min Wang, your hometown of Datang is now in flames, will you stay in Tianzhu?"

This sentence stopped Li Jie, and he opened his mouth for a long time, and finally waved his hand helplessly: "Gu understands, then Gu won't force it, Anna, I wish you a safe journey." ”

"Hmm."

After returning the salute again, the lively princess got into the car very quietly, and under Li Jie's gaze, the long convoy slowly drove along the main street of Jingshi and drove out of the Chengtian Gate that had just been built.

"What, reluctantly?"

I don't know when, she was also dressed in a princess suit, Wu Meiniang, who was shaking and trembling in a flying phoenix bun, swayed to Li Jie's side, holding her mouth sourly, looking at her jealous appearance, Li Jie shook his head funny: "It's nothing, it's just a feeling of being a princess, but I believe that there will be a day when we meet again with this girl." ”

"Cut, just say it if you don't forget it.

I really don't know why women are so changeable, just now they were sour," after a coquettish big-eyed Ren'er turned over, Wu Meiniang suddenly grabbed Li Jie's arm, and the phoenix head of the Peugeot was pasted up, and her voice became delicate and soft.

"Lang Jun, just tell me what you said to that Arab bearded man that day, and a sentence made him run out of his ass?"

Li Jie couldn't help but look funny, so he patted her head and said truthfully: "Actually, it's nothing, I just told him that someone is going to be bad for his caliphate, Ali!" ”

"Who is bad for the Arab Caliphate, and who is Ali?" Suddenly her head was confused, Wu Meiniang raised her head suspiciously, but unfortunately this time Li Jie smiled obscenely without the demeanor of a king, spread his shoulders and said irresponsibly: "It's like Anna Yu wants to call him a tribute, and lie to him." ”

Wu Meiniang almost fainted, is this okay? This is a national event! Besides, how could Khalid be deceived by Li Jie's nonsensical words, and in an instant, Wu Meiniang became a Wuhan son, and her delicate little hand twisted three hundred and sixty degrees on Li Jie's waist, and immediately the dignified King of Min's face turned pale.

"Lang Jun, to say or not to say?"

Seeing this girl smiling and leaning over her little face, her back hurt, Li's face immediately turned into a bitter melon, and she grinned sadly and said: "Mei Niang, what the husband said is true, hey, don't pinch, look at the sky, a flying iron bird!" ”

"What iron bird?" subconsciously raised his little head, but there was not even a cloud in the bare sky, and when he looked back, the dignified King Min was gone, knowing that he was in charge of Wu Meiniang's seven tricks and couldn't help but be angry, jumping on his feet and shouting: "This princess doesn't believe it, I can't find out!" ”

Throwing her long sleeves, Wu Meiniang also got into the East Pavilion of the Fujian State Administration with her little hands behind her back and her small chest......

The policy of the upper class is really closely related to the lives of the people, and within half a month of signing a peace agreement with Arabia, the people in the imperial capital have already felt this change, first of all, the bearded Persians began to increase.

The 20,000 pursuing troops made 6,000 Arab cavalry come to a pot, and after getting this information, Xi Jun, who has always been known as a fierce general, almost didn't eat the table, under the guiding ideology of the retaliation of the small-scale army of the upper echelons of Fujian, in the past five months, Xi Junmai has prevented at least 300 surprise attacks, and the Khorasan province of the Arab Empire, which is closest to the Himalayas, has almost not been stirred up.

This is the birthplace of Persia, where the old Persian aristocracy is extremely powerful, and it is no wonder that Iziai III was able to support the city of Mulu here for a long time.

Originally, the Arab Empire reused the Mecca Qulai clan people from the Arabian Peninsula, which made these elites dissatisfied, and when they encountered such a troubles in Fujian, the Persians were even more exposed, and the Arab rule was crumbling, and the Arabs simply withdrew from this region after the peace agreement was signed.

This is the first time in Islamic expansion that the meat that has been eaten in the mouth has been spit out, which is equivalent to more than half of Iran in the hands of Fujian.

The west is a crazy Arab empire, the east is still a strong Fujian state, it is impossible to establish an independent state, more and more Persian nobles came to Beijing to see Yi Si Yi III, by the way to see if they can get a new official position in Fujian, it is naturally impossible to come empty-handed, gold, jewelry, ivory is a large number of gathered in Beijing.

The Arab Empire now occupies most of Central Asia, with a vast territory, even if the demand for luxury goods in the war is still increasing, and the silk, porcelain, spices, and cotton cloth that were originally slightly unsalable have been sold out most of them at once, and the owners of various chambers of commerce have to urgently mix raw silk from the Central Plains.

In the blink of an eye, the commercial state of Fujian returned to its pre-rebellion prosperity, where merchants from the East and merchants from the West traded non-stop, shoulder to shoulder, and it was a beautiful scene.

The only thing that gave Li Jie a headache was that the black smoke billowing around the huge Beijing Division, even the newly built city wall was blackened, the smoky air quality dropped, and even the Min Palace felt it.

There is also a reason for the black smoke, in addition to the demand for silk, porcelain, and tea from the nobility of the Arab Empire, the largest order of the Arab Empire is Uz steel, which robbed the two empires, and the Arab Empire, which is full of treasury, is really not afraid of spending money, and in addition to the 400,000 gold coins spent on praying for peace, the merchants from Damascus almost want to wrap up the output of Uz steel.

Fortunately, Fujian has obtained the method of building Uzi steel, and the output has increased greatly, otherwise it really can't cope with it.

In the steaming blacksmiths, the sturdy blacksmiths sweat like rain, and put the finest iron ore mined in Punjab into a crucible made of clay according to a certain proportion, and then put in bamboo, charcoal, and an unknown fruit to seal the clay crucible, and the huge clay balls are put into the red-hot coal pile to heat, this process seems simple, but in fact the preparation of carburizing materials took many generations of research by the iron-making tribes of Punjab.

It's a pity that with such a complex formula, the Min State only sent more than 100 blacksmith apprentices, relying on the rich Tang language records, it was plagiarized in less than a month, and now all the blacksmiths who strike iron are Tang blacksmiths.

The clay crucibles are heated for two days in a row, and in addition to the more complex decarburization, it takes about a month or two for a finished piece of Uzi steel to be cast, and the success rate of Uzi steel is less than half.

Not far from here, hundreds of blacksmiths are also busy in the workshop, where the unbaked Uzi steel is put to good use, truly endowed with souls, forged into weapons.

There are true craftsmen from Damascus, who combine the prowess of both kingdoms to produce the razor-sharp and incomparably tough Damascus sword, and the true secret of forging Uzi steel lies within.

Whether in China or Europe, forging swords will heat the metal to a very soft level, which is convenient to create impurities in the steel, and save time and effort, but it is completely different for Uzi steel, which has undergone a decarburization process The impurities in Uzi steel have been small enough, and overheating will damage the unique crystallization of Uzi steel, which is too cold and cannot be moved.

In the Chinese of the Damascus craftsman master who wore a high hat and a big beard and was cut by the Fujian State from outside the heavy gold, a hundred Tianzhu people, Tang apprentices laboriously used steel drills to turn holes in the center of the hard Uzi steel, and then handed them over to another batch of more experienced blacksmiths to take over, cut the annular Uzi steel, and put it in the fire to soften and draw it into strips to maintain the maximum integrity of the original Uzi steel internal structure, which was only then carefully hammered and forged with a hammer at the request of the Persian master.

In this process, the temperature is extremely critical, a little higher will destroy the quality of the metal, and if it is low, it will not be able to hit impurities, even Feng Changfeng, a strange craftsman in Chang'an who has followed Li Jie for ten years, has been trained by the master in a cold sweat when he is old, and it is rare to accompany him, looking at the black and inconspicuous iron ball of Uzi steel that has cost him hundreds of times, and then looking at Feng Changfeng, who is like a junior apprentice, he is hammering iron with a hammer, Li Jie can't help but be speechless.

"I said, Master Feng, the weapons you have created are all beyond the weapons of Uzi steel, can you be guilty of suffering here?"

"Of course you can!" His beard was soaked with sweat, and the stubborn old man, who was shirtless and exposed his strong muscles, sat on the ground and struck iron, without raising his head, and said as a matter of course: "In the past, the old man was sad and did not take advantage of the materials, and the original Uzi steel was not really effective by the old man, but now with such a god-given steel, even the dead old man must control this forging method, which can create a magic weapon that surpasses all the works of the old man." ”

"Ou Yezi can die, and the cadre will pass on the evil for thousands of years!"

The dim eyes were shining brightly, Feng Changfeng's eyes were just like Li Jie's eyes, the most fanatical believers of Brahmanism, the madness made Li Jie incomprehensible, so he could only shake his head again helplessly, but Li Jie was speechless, Feng Changfeng finished playing a piece of metal in his hand, but went crazy.

Angry, the old guy reached out and grabbed Li Jie's collar with red eyes and shouted loudly: "Such God-sent materials, but you sell them to the Arabs, it's a tyrannical thing, have you ever thought about it, with such a sharp weapon, the Arabs will attack again in the future, what will you resist?" ”

Feng Changfeng has been fighting for decades, and his strength is not covered, and there are few Chang'an rangers who can take over a few moves from him in terms of strength, plus Li Jie was defenseless for a while, and the dignified King Min couldn't help but roll his eyes and .......
