"Oh, I wonder what's wrong with Your Excellency's personal affairs?"

As soon as Zhang Tie heard the words of the big fat man Amor Tolan, he understood what this guy was going to do.

Even in the later Chinese kingdom, such a thing as the abuse of power for personal gain was very common, let alone in this chaotic seventeenth century.

But even if Zhang Tie saw through the plans of this Ottoman fat man, he would not expose it, but pretended to be confused.

Since he has selfish intentions, it is best to be reckless.

Selfish people are easier to deal with, and I'm afraid of those who have no desires, no desires, and no selfishness.

When Amor Toran saw Zhang Tie asking himself, he sorted out his ups and downs, and then said: "This is how ...... thing", as the fat man narrated, Zhang Tie kept nodding.

It turned out that because European merchants launched ocean-going trade with the Song Empire, and it became more and more popular, even the Ottoman Empire began to popularize the goods of the Song Empire, and the popularity of its goods was still very hot.

Among the popular commodities of the Song Empire in the Ottoman Empire, there is only one commodity that is most popular with the people of the Ottoman Empire.

That's ...... Thirteen incense.

Yes, these Turkic descendants, although they came to Central Asia and established their own kingdoms, still retain some of the things they ate hundreds of years ago.

On board, in Central Asia, which borders with Asia and Europe and the Arab world, they have been affected by many cultures in terms of food.

But no matter what the impact is, the Ottomans, like the Arabs and the Europeans, are very fond of eating meat.

However, to everyone's distress, there is a lack of spice in this day and age.

Precious spices, in particular, are even more expensive and unaffordable.

But now there is a hope, and that is on the side of the Song Empire in the distant Americas. There are low-priced, high-quality spices for sale.

This spice is mixed with thirteen spices, synthesized and sold together, and its price is staggeringly low.

And these spices, when used in cooking, will make the food more delicious and tastier.

This is a great blessing for people in the Arab region and the Ottoman Empire.

But the problem was that the European merchants who traded spices from the Song Empire in the Americas, although the prices they bought were very low, they sold them to the Ottomans or Arabs at very high prices.

This was unacceptable to the Ottomans and Arabs.

If any of them could cross the Mediterranean and trade directly with the Song Empire. Then there will be no more exploitation by those European merchants.

And, you can make a lot of money.

It was with such thoughts and goals that the big fat man Amor Toran won this trip with some domestic strength and set foot on the land of the American continent.

In addition to thirteen spices, he also needed cumin, another spice needed for barbecued meat products.

Yes, cumin was not so popular in this era, and no one in Europe, the Ottoman Empire, and the Arab world had ever eaten barbecue products made with such a seasoning.

And. Where cumin was produced in this era, no one knows the Tao.

So, when there were still the dignitaries of the Ottoman Empire in the Arab world, and the common people who tasted the barbecue products with cumin. They were immediately overwhelmed by the taste and could no longer let go.

Amor Torran was also the one who was conquered by that taste, and at the same time he saw unlimited business opportunities.

It's just, the same as Thirteen Spices. The spice cumin is now also controlled by European traders.

It can be said that in this world, European merchants controlled three-quarters of the spice trade.

Originally, the Ottomans thought that this was the case. They had no other way out, so they had to buy high-priced spices from Europeans for the rest of their lives.

But unexpectedly, the European continent actually started a group fight, and everyone was very happy.

Thus, before the eyes of the Ottoman Empire, a very rare opportunity arose.

As long as they work hard, maybe they will take advantage of the civil strife in Europe to let the Ottoman Empire break the current bottleneck and achieve a lot of gains.

In this way, the Ottoman Empire immediately began to create an opportunity for chaos against the European continent, and began a series of schemes.

First of all, it is to select people to explore the Americas, and it is best to reach a trade agreement with the Song Empire.

As for the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the Ottomans had to figure it out on their own.

Therefore, the second step of the Ottoman Empire was to take advantage of Amor to go to the Americas, and began to make frequent contact with Portugal and France.

The reason for the Ottoman Empire's contact with Portugal and France was very simple, because the Portuguese and French countries were so advantageous that they could say that they had blocked the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic.

So, these are the two countries that the Ottoman Empire cannot offend.

Moreover, Portugal and France do not deal with the Church very much now, and the Ottoman Empire is a halal country, so they do not deal with the Church.

Therefore, Haussmandis thought about it and finally decided to make a secret agreement with Portugal and France, driven by interests.

The content of this agreement was nothing more than that the Ottoman Empire was to travel to the Americas through the Mediterranean, and Portugal and France were to provide security guarantees.

At the same time, the Ottoman Empire was willing to help the Portuguese and French countries because of their hostility with the vassal states of the Church...... Wait a minute.

In short, everyone is unprofitable.

Zhang Tie was not at all interested in what was happening in Europe or the Ottoman Empire.

They are chaotic, they are dead, they have no food to eat, their land is barren and no one cultivates it, this is the of the Song Empire in the Americas.

Besides, isn't it good to have a mess in Europe?

This is simply great for the Song Empire in the Americas.

Otherwise, where would you have so many opportunities?

If you look at it now, even the Ottoman Empire saw an opportunity and now wants to fight for it.

Come to think of it, as long as the Ottoman Empire had the idea of fighting at sea, it would definitely have a conflict with the Europeans in the future.

When the time comes, even if the Europeans put an end to the chaos on the continent. They also have to face disputes on the oceans.

Ha Luha, I just can't be idle anyway.

Anyway, if you take that time, let the Europeans and the Ottoman Empire fight.

The Song Empire can develop steadily and quietly, and when they are all finished, they will look back, and the Song Empire is a behemoth.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tie felt that it was not impossible to support the Ottoman Empire a little.

At the very least, if you prop them up, these people will cause chaos for the Europeans.

So, when Zhang Tie was facing Omol Tolan. Basically, he agreed to some of his things.

In short, Zhang Tie said to Amor Toran, as long as you have a ship, then I will supply you, and you can supply whatever you want, but you need to clear it once and for all, and you will not pay any debts.

For this small request, Amor still agreed.

Debt?

The Amor family will not owe debts, which is a very shameful thing.

If you want to take the goods in arrears, wouldn't it mean that the Amor family can't do it?

So, something like this is absolutely impossible.

Looking at the big fat man who swore to himself. Zhang Tie was noncommittal.

Hmph, now you don't owe the debt, but Lao Tzu has a way to spit out the money he earns.

The ocean is not like land, it is not so easy to mix.

You Ottomans. If you want to make a profit in the ocean, then you have to pay tuition.

Europeans are also constantly paying tuition fees.

Zhang Tie was not at all worried that the Ottoman Empire would be uncontrollable after it became strong, nor was he worried that after the Omoltoran family became brilliant, they would be invincible.

After talking to this fat man. Zhang Tie told him that he was going to be the east and that he wanted to have a good meal outside.

For Zhang Tie's invitation, Omore did not refuse. Rather, they gladly accepted.

Seriously, the Ottoman Empire in this era really didn't have too many food varieties.

Even in Europe.

But here in Manhattan, the Americas, it was different, accompanied by Zhang Tie, they walked on the commercial street of the bustling port terminal, and Amor saw countless food stalls. One after the other.

Many women and children sat in front of the food stalls to grab some snacks and then hurriedly ate them and left.

Because the city of Manhattan is close to the sea, the stall owners basically sell seafood.

However, the variety of these seafood is very rich, and with the support of the empire's many spices, the taste of these seafood is needless to say.

Grilled squid, grilled oysters with garlic, grilled conch, etc., make people think that they have arrived in a modern snack street.

In addition, there are those who sell fried rice, fried noodles, steamed buns and steamed buns.

Even rice noodles are sold.

You can imagine how much the Chinese genes who were brought to this era by Zhao Hongyu contributed to Manhattan's snacks.

Because these snacks are basically impossible for Europeans to make in this era.

They don't have the ability to do that.

Therefore, only the Chinese people living in Manhattan have such a ability.

Thanks to them, Manhattan's food variety has become more diverse.

Not only rice noodles, but even Malatang is sold here in Manhattan, thanks to the success of chili pepper cultivation last year.

For example, the price of these snacks is not very high, so it was welcomed by the public as soon as it was launched.

And those Chinese businessmen who did this business are now basically making enough money and investing in land to become farmers.

These are the things that Europeans can't do.

It is precisely because of this that the genetic people of Chinese descent have become the first batch of rich people on the side of the Song Empire in the Americas through their own efforts, which makes Europeans very envious.

You must know that the Chinese gene people of the Song Empire made a fortune, but it was not because of Zhao Hongyu's relationship.

Therefore, the Europeans in the Song Empire were still very convinced by this.

Because of the ethnic group of Chinese people, those people made a fortune all by virtue of their own diligence and wisdom, but the truth of the facts, hehe! (To be continued......)
