For the sake of the Ottoman Empire, and for themselves.

Be sure to get along with the young man who managed foreign trade in the Song Empire.

Why do you have such a mentality?

Actually, this question is easy to explain.

Amor Tolan would have such thoughts, but in fact, he himself was selfish.

Since he came to the Song Empire after thousands of miles of hardship, in addition to doing things for his motherland, he also had to find a way to benefit himself.

This is human nature and inevitable.

For the Ottoman Empire to reach this side of the Americas, it had to pass through the Mediterranean.

However, the Mediterranean was dominated by European countries.

Whether it can be passed or not depends on the face of the European countries.

Now, taking advantage of the frequent wars in the European countries, they have no time to take care of this gap in the Mediterranean.

They finally came to America, the land of legends and wealth.

With this opportunity, how can Amor make good use of it and seek some benefits for himself.

European merchants in the Arab world, with the Song Empire in the Americas made a lot of money, and Amor Toran was very jealous.

It's just that he didn't have that opportunity at the time.

"Sit!" , Zhang Tie walked into the office with Amor Tolan, and his escort warriors were all left outside, "Serve tea, serve good tea." ”

Zhang Tie sat down at the desk in the office and commanded.

In fact, some things about foreign trade no longer need to be personally asked or managed by him.

But this time it was completely different, because the trader he was targeting represented a country.

Come to think of it, the volume of trade this time must be very huge.

Therefore, such a large amount of trade must require him to go out himself.

Leave it to those subordinates below to do it, first, I am worried that I will not be able to do it well. The second is that it will make Amor Tolan think that they are rude.

In any case, this fat man of the Ottoman Empire also came to the Americas on behalf of his homeland.

The black bear followed Zhang Tie and walked in, so that there were three people in the office.

The reason why he followed Zhang Tie was actually to learn something.

Because Zhang Tie has taken the black bear to study with him recently, in order to train him so that he can take on some management things.

After all, the black bear represents the Indians, and if they are always left to do nothing at home, it will make people think that they are deliberately snubbing and excluding the Indians.

If someone with a heart took advantage of this. It's going to be a lot of trouble.

According to intelligence, the European Church sent another group of priests to Manhattan in the Americas.

This group of clergymen has learned from the experience of the first two failures.

They lurked in Manhattan and were not in a hurry to preach or do something.

Instead, they disguised themselves and began to go deep into the people of the empire to observe the food and folk environment of the empire.

Zhang Tiezhi said that these people were looking for opportunities.

If they find an opportunity, they're going to come up with something.

Therefore, you must be able to prevent problems before they happen.

But the problem is. These guys who have become smarter, because they hide their identities so that the Imperial Intelligence Department has a hard grasp of their whereabouts.

This makes things a little tricky.

Therefore, Zhang Tie must put something that the other party can take advantage of. Now make up for it all.

First of all, there was the fact that the Indians entered the government and tied them to the empire.

Zhang Tie did this, and sure enough, he was welcomed by the Indians.

Except for black bears. There are also many young Indians who have also started their studies in civil service schools.

As long as they graduate, then Zhang Tie will take these Indians into college. All of them were sent to the security department.

Let them and the Indian-born genetic people and the three brothers contribute to the security of Manhattan.

As for what to do in Quebec and Ontario, Zhang Tie can't control it.

But he still informed the two cities of the incident.

After all, each of them has their own style.

Nowadays, they are all developing a city according to their own style.

The style of your own side, as well as the geographical environment, may not be suitable for other cities.

Zhang Tie still understands this truth.

Now, he has the intention of letting Black Bear take up the post of Foreign Trade Department to manage the affairs of the dock and port for him.

In this regard, the black bear also agreed.

Therefore, in addition to going to school every day, the black bear follows Zhang Tie to learn how to carry out foreign trade.

Poor black bear is so old (thirty-eight years old) that he still has to learn some knowledge that gives him a headache.

However, considering that his daughter was the queen of the Indians, and was also the wife of the crown prince of the empire, then he had to be a good example as a father and a high-ranking Indian.

I have to say that the consciousness of the black bear is still very high.

The black bear sat on the single sofa next to Amor, and the office was very large, and there were three single sofas.

In addition to the office, the office can also meet customers.

That's how it was designed when it was first designed.

"Bring me a pot of milk tea, Xie Luxie."

The black bear said the same to the secretary in the office.

Now in Manhattan, milk with black tea is also popular.

Many Europeans and Indians are very fond of this drink.

Except for genetic people.

Zhao Hongyu came up with this drinking method in order to fool the Europeans, but he didn't expect that it is also popular in Manhattan now.

Therefore, even with the black bear, I began to get used to drinking such a pot or two pots of milk tea every day to taste it.

The secretary answered, and left the office to prepare.

As a result, the three of them were left in the office.

"Mr. Amortolan, I would like to know how much grain your homeland, the Ottoman Empire, intends to take from us every month?"

Now that he has figured out the other party's intentions, Zhang Tie does not intend to beat around the bush.

He directly picked up the topic and asked.

Zhang Tie's approach is exactly what Amor wants.

He also wants to go straight and negotiate things directly, and then he can think about his own affairs.

"The amount of food we need is huge. Within six months, we hope to remove about 300,000 sacks of grain from the Empire in order to alleviate the food crisis in our country. ”

After Zhang Tie heard this, he nodded.

Indeed, the amount that the other side needs is indeed very large.

It seems that Chen Zhenbang's brother-in-law in the virtual world has something to do again.

Originally, he was making black-hearted canned food, but now that he has a large batch of garbage rice, it seems that this guy is going to make a lot of money.

However, he should have earned this money, and it was a curse to the Europeans and the Ottomans in the seventeenth century anyway. As long as it's not a Chinese person, it's okay, isn't it?

Zhang Tie looked at Amor Tolan's big fat face seriously: "Now the price of a bag of rice is thirteen Ottoman gold coins, and the price of corn is the same, can you accept such a price?" ”

The amount of food that the other side needs, the empire can fully meet.

Therefore, Zhang Tie said the current price to see if the other party could accept it.

"We only need rice, and we don't need corn." , Amoltolan hurriedly replied.

"Oh, so it's just rice. And what about flour? Zhang Tie asked again.

You must know that there are still a lot of garbage flour on the side of the empire, and these can also be sold to the other party.

Anyway, with the other party's cognition. I can't eat it at all.

Because half of it is filled with talcum powder...... Chen Zhenbang's brother-in-law.

Wow, is there still a supply of flour.

Amor Tolan's eyes lit up.

Of course, he wanted to be able to buy flour, because the Ottoman Empire also had a great demand for flour.

Since the other party has flour here, why don't you buy it?

And the price of food here is really not expensive. It is several times cheaper than buying the grain sold by European merchants.

"How much does flour cost?"

"Eighteen Ottoman gold coins, I think you can afford the price."

Zhang Tie quoted a price that was really not very expensive.

Know the way. Food prices have soared in Europe since the beginning of the war.

In addition, food prices in North Africa and Arabia have also risen all the way, and have now risen 20 times higher than last year.

Of course, the price increase in the Americas will follow, but the price increase is not so black.

That's just a triple from last year.

To be honest, this price is already a very conscientious price.

Therefore, as soon as Amoltolan heard this price, he immediately said on the spot that he would order 200,000 bags of flour.

300,000 bags of rice, plus 200,000 bags of flour, that's 500,000 bags.

With so much grain, the other party wanted to transport it away in half a year, and Zhang Tie thought about it for a while, which didn't seem to be very realistic.

In front of the Ottoman Empire, there were many difficulties to solve.

First of all, do they have so many cargo ships to carry goods for them?

Even though there were so many cargo ships, they had to pass through the Mediterranean.

And the European countries that control the Mediterranean, will they be able to pass through smoothly?

Thinking of this, Zhang Tie couldn't help but ask Amor Tolan a question that made him wonder.

Hearing this, Amor Toran smiled and raised his hand to wipe his fat face, and then replied: "Well, we have also considered this problem, so in order to avoid any trouble when passing through the Mediterranean, we have reached an agreement with Portugal and France that they can escort us when we pass through the Mediterranean." ”

"But, where did you get so many ships?"

Zhang Tiedao.

"We hired a lot of Arab merchants, and although their ships were not very good, they should be able to go on ocean voyages. Now that the sea has been occupied by the Europeans for more than 100 years, it is an opportunity that I don't think the Arab merchants will miss. ”

It turned out that Amor Tolan had already solved this problem before he came to the Americas.

Zhang Tie thought about it, and he felt that with the shipbuilding skills of the Arabs, it seemed that it was impossible to build ships that could be used for ocean voyages.

Otherwise, how could it be that all of them were Europeans in history.

However, since the other party said so, it is not easy for me to continue to ask.

Therefore, this puzzled question can only be answered after the other party's Yunshun fleet arrives in the Americas.

In fact, Zhang Tie didn't know anything about the Dao, and the history of this world had begun to deviate.

His Highness in the East has already met ninjas, and those ninjas have some mutations.

Not to mention that on his side, he will encounter Arabian Sea ships with the ability to sail to the sea.

"Well, now that you've solved this problem, then I don't have anything to ask. Our trading rules are to pay for the goods in one hand and deliver the goods in the other, and every time you load the goods on the ship, our record keeper will make a list of dependents, and then you can give the money. When the grain is delivered, our contract will be voided. ”

Amor has nothing to object to such a transaction.

After thinking about it, he said to Zhang Tiedao: "My team has no opinion on this way of trading, but we have a lot of merchant ships coming here at that time, but there are too few berths in your port, and now we have to wait in line for a few days when we enter the port, which will delay our time." ”

Yes, there is no problem on Zhang Tie's side, but there is a little problem on Amor's side.

After Zhang Tie heard this, he explained to Amor: "I know this problem, but we are already solving it. Zhang Tie opened his drawer, took out a cigar from Central America, and then walked over and handed it to Amor.

Amor had never seen such a thing, but he did not refuse Zhang Tie.

He also knew that this was a show of goodwill from the other party.

Zhang Tie helped Amor light a cigar and then taught him how to smoke it, and then sat down across from him.

The big fat man Amor Tolan took a deep breath according to what Zhang Tie said.

Ahem, ahem!

Because I wasn't used to it, I was choked suddenly.

"No, I'm not used to it, I don't think I can enjoy it."

Zhang Tie shrugged his shoulders and took the cigar and extinguished it.

The other party is really blessed to accept these good things, and he despises this fat man in his heart.

Immediately, Zhang Tie said: "The expansion of our port has not stopped, and in half a month, we will have another fifty berths to use, so that the berths of the wharf will become more, I think it is completely possible to arrange for your ships to come to transport grain." ”

Yes, since Zhao Hongyu left Manhattan, the dock here in Manhattan has been under construction.

The boom in commercial trade in Manhattan was something that the top brass had anticipated.

Manhattan's booming commercial trade is sure to attract a large number of ships to the city.

It's a given.

Without a large port for the ships that were engaged in trade, there would be no way to develop Manhattan's trade.

So, if you want Manhattan to grow in trade and the city, you need to build a large port.

"Oh, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. So I'd like to talk about another thing, which is also commercial, and it's my personal ......."

At this time, Amor Tolan's fat face was shiny when he mentioned this matter, and it looked much brighter. (To be continued......)
