Chapter 736: Prosperity and Prosperity

Because of the power of the Time Stone, the speed of time in this world is different from that of the outside world, and its time flow rate has an exaggerated proportion compared to the outside world. It's almost one to one hundred, i.e. one year in the Overworld, and one hundred years here. During the hundreds of years that Inningville presided over, he did not let the world develop on its own, but guided it. In addition, the area of the world itself has been greatly enlarged, so that in this vast and almost infinite sea area, more than a dozen pieces of land of different sizes, the population is very sparse, thousands of miles of uninhabited, you can change the vocabulary to thousands of miles of uninhabited...

It's an exaggeration, but it's a de facto change.

In Europe, Asia, Africa, and other places, the only result is that the population is scattered on this huge land, and it is greatly diluted again. As a result, the states of Germany in Europe became even more chaotic. They were busy emigrating and grabbing as much land as possible, and at the same time, the great European powers, especially France, also seized the time to occupy the German regions, which naturally caused a new round of war. The land of the Tang people has also increased in the drastic changes, and the land of nearly one million square kilometers has made the population of nearly 10 million people of the Tang people extremely scarce at the beginning. As the Tang people continued to migrate outward and settle in various places, hundreds of years passed, and part of the land of the Tang people was developed. The areas that were once backward began to become prosperous. And the population of the Tang people has also grown from nearly 10 million people hundreds of years ago to 18 million!

The national strength of the Tang people, because of the growth of the population, has been improved again on the basis of the already strong foundation. Although they are not invincible in the world now, in the Europa region, there is really no country that is the opponent of the Tang people. The economic circle around the Mediterranean Sea has also become more and more prosperous, and because of the opening of the Suez Canal by the Tang people, the Mediterranean economic circle has become more prosperous. The islands scattered in the Red Sea were brought under the rule of the Tang people, and the island of Socotra in the Horn of Africa has become extremely prosperous because hundreds of years have passed! It is a prosperous island that is not inferior to the mainland of the Tang people.

The Tang people successively migrated nearly 100,000 people here, and sent 20,000 troops and navy to guard this place. A permanent port and a wharf have been built, and the port area is lined with buildings and facilities made of brick and stone, and the style is elegant and beautiful. A large military fortress and base were built for defense and fortification. In the military port, dozens of warships are moored, patrolling every day to combat pirates. That's right, it's pirates!

Because of the opening of the Suez Canal, not only the Mediterranean trade that was already centered around the Tang people became more and more prosperous, but also because of the trade flow between the East and the West, overseas trade has developed and expanded. The ancient profession of piracy was originally an 'ancient tradition' in Europe, and the Tang people dominated the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean trade zone, and merchants of various nationalities drove boats to transport goods from all over the world, adding another fire to this already prosperous overseas trade.

Silk, tea, and porcelain from the ancient East, carpets and slave girls from Persia, ironware, precious stones, and spices from the Spice Islands from India, as well as ivory, leather, and some writings, were shipped to the West by ship. They first anchored in Socotra, paid taxes, and then held a navigation certificate issued by the Tang people before they could navigate the Red Sea unimpeded. Every day, these taxes alone dazzled the eyes of the Tang people, who had a steady stream of financial support, in addition to continuously developing their own infrastructure, industry and commerce according to the 'ancestral system', they also imported high-quality timber from all over the country, and built more warships to firmly control their own interests.

At a time when overseas trade is flowing, only a large and elite navy can maintain this important task. Therefore, the navy of the Tang people is incomparably powerful. It is the largest naval power not only in the Mediterranean, but also in Europe and the world. In response to piracy and smuggling, the Tang navy conducts inspections in various sea areas all day long, cracks down on piracy and smuggling, and protects its own interests. At the same time, in line with the principle of rare goods, the Tang people restricted the supply of some luxury goods. Mainly in the face of Europe, and also against the East.

And these things are all available in the native land of the Tang people, and the Tang people have long been ahead of all countries in their own country. He no longer had to oppress and exploit his own people, because the prosperity of overseas trade and the monopoly of the Oriental trade exaggerated the amount of gold and silver he received every day. Therefore, the arrogant Tang royal family and the government do not look down on the pitiful money in the hands of the people who exploit their own people.

The prosperity of overseas trade caused the people of the Tang people to flee overseas, and even though the voyage was very risky, mankind could no longer resist this temptation in the face of huge sums of money. Because in the Tang Kingdom, there are many examples, people who go on long voyages often earn huge sums of money on a round trip. When they returned to their homeland, they bought land, built lavish estates, and raised foreign slaves. At the same time, he once again carried out long-distance trade, buying goods and constantly expanding his merchant fleet, making terrifying profits from round trip.

Because the examples of these people were in the past, they led to voyages to the sea to trade, and there was a very market in the Tang people. The prosperous trade, under the regulation and control of the Tang government, led to the revitalization of the country's economy, producing a virtuous circle. At the same time, it promotes the development of industry and commerce, and in addition to agriculture, the whole society presents an amazing vitality.

And Fatimid Egypt, their whole land was also completely destroyed under the Tang people's soldiers! In the days that a hundred years have passed, the Tang people organized an army of about 100,000 people by land and sea, and captured Fatimid Egypt, which has now become the Egyptian province of the Tang people! In the following hundreds of years, the population of the Tang people migrated into Egypt in a big way, and what they did was a tone of complete occupation and never leaving.

The fall of Egypt also made Suez a canal for the Tang people. This waterway flowing with gold and the wealth earned all day long is amazing!

However, the countries of the European continent, which had previously joined the Suez Canal for investment, received a large amount of money every year because of the prosperous Suez Canal. At the beginning, it was indeed amazed and joyful to the countries, but they were making a lot of money compared to the Tang people, and they were gradually dissatisfied with the fact that they only shared the soup.

However, they were not sure of defeating the Tang people, and they did not dare to start a war rashly! Although overseas trade was prosperous, the Tang government did not slack off on building up its own country's industrial and commercial and military power, on the contrary, they launched a large number of warships and delivered them to the navy every year. And the number of their merchant ships is exaggerated to nearly 40,000! Bigger than the sea coachmen in parallel time and space! Although, the resurgence of the pirate force gradually prospered, and they continued to ambush and rob in various seas all day long. However, compared to the scale of dozens or hundreds of merchant ships on the return voyage, the number of robberies captured by the pirates was also very small. That said, each success brought huge benefits to the pirates, which further stimulated the growth of the piracy industry.
