Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 518
Speaking of it, many people in later generations feel that in ancient China, it was thriving, and other countries were scumbags.This is true, but it is also not true.

Compared with Western Europe, it is not an exaggeration to say that the kind of flower house is simply a paradise. Countries such as Britain, Germany and France in the 21st century are basically equivalent to Bangladesh, Ethiopia and other countries in later generations. Wealthy and uncivilized.

(So ​​the bourgeois revolution actually did not have such high requirements for productivity and national quality. Even in the Age of Discovery, the productivity of the whole of Europe was not as good as [-]% of that of Ming Dynasty. The wisdom of the people was almost nonexistent, and the literacy rate of the nobles was even lower than that of Ming Dynasty. high.)
But correspondingly, the world of Semuren is also highly developed, and its overall aspect is definitely far inferior to that of Tang and Song Dynasties. Before the [-]th century, only our flower growers had a population of more than one million in the world, but in terms of shipping, they were ahead. Our times.

In other words, this group of people is more than one era ahead of the world.

If Sun Yue wants to embark on a grand voyage, he must go to the New World. Leaving aside the technology and risks involved, Sun Yue believes that where there is a will, there will be success. Who, the whole world will be a civilized and obedient baby together. Facing such a high interest, wouldn't Semuren not come to grab it?

And if Semuren and Da Song really fought a sea battle, although it would be a bit of a boost to others, objectively speaking, Da Song really couldn't fight.

In the original history, the Semu people were the second-class nobles of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, and they were regarded as the ruling class. But because of this, with the split of the Mongolian Yuan Empire and Zhu Yuanzhang’s expelling of the Tartars, the Semu people also ate together. Luo, the boats, technology, etc. are all cheaper than Zhu Yuanzhang, and this is how Zheng He went to the West. By the way, Zheng He himself is a Semuren.

So before the shipbuilding foundation was settled, even though Sun Yue knew that he would find a new continent full of gold all the way west, he still dared not set foot in it lightly, because he was afraid that he would make a wedding dress for Semuren in vain.

If it is feasible, it may be a good choice to use the army to push along the Silk Road, wipe out all the Semu people, and then open up a new route.

But in the final analysis, the army of the Song Dynasty was still not as strong as it was in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and the Khitans were watching in the north, and the Dangxiang people and Tubo people in the west were not vegetarians. It is very big, not to mention there is a Gaochang Uighur in the middle.

So this is a threshold that cannot be bypassed.

Fortunately, today's Semu people are no longer the Semu people who united under the banner of the four major caliphates in the seventh century. They are actually more like a mess of sand, and these people are ruled by religion, and the people have a strong centripetal force towards the country. low, even infinitely close to zero. (In fact, there was almost no national concept in ancient Europe, and they were all loyal to the lord.)
Apart from their allegiance to Allah, these businessmen seem to be only loyal to money, otherwise they would not have moved to Quanzhou in large numbers during the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties.

Speaking of this time, in fact, if the Semu people at this time have to be divided into countries, it is difficult to tell how many countries they should be, but it is relatively clear if they are distinguished by doctrine. and Shiites in Persia.

So this might be Sun Yue's chance.

So at the Guangzhou-Zhou Conference, Sun Yue enthusiastically introduced the friendship of Song Dynasty to them, and decided to use the 'group' and the imperial court to fund the construction of six huge ports and two huge shipyards in one go, and then sincerely invited them to come He became a shareholder, and specially found those seniors from Jizhou who had been happy with the cooperation and had already invested in the shares, and told them about the beautiful life of Song Dynasty.

In order to show his sincerity, Sun Yue even said that all the Semu people who settled in the Song Dynasty can build mosques with their own money, and there is no restriction on their preaching. Anyway, the Han people naturally do not have the innate conditions to believe in any religion, although he knows so There will be some glass-hearted readers who don't understand anything and scold their mothers.

His idea is very simple, to lock up the ships and navigation technology of these Semu people in the Song Dynasty before the great voyage is opened up, and then you don’t have to be afraid of them when you really fight with the Semu people. Be despicable, kill all these perverts after you learn it, anyway, just keep the boat.

In addition, to be honest, the Communist Party of the tenth century was actually quite civilized, at least compared to other places in the world except the Song Dynasty and Khitan, regardless of politics, military affairs, philosophy, and culture, they were all super-class , has the largest library in the world, and the national literacy rate is much higher than that of Song Dynasty, which is completely different from those green and terrifying cults of later generations.

The meeting started in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, and ended in a stable and united atmosphere. However, the progress was very limited. Except for those Semu people who had settled in Jizhou before and ran this route, the Semu people on other routes People were not very interested in settling in Quanzhou, and there were very few people who responded, but Sun Yue agreed to help him build Quanzhou City.

It's a little rewarding, but it's far from the goal. Sun Yue intends to evacuate Semuren.

The matter of profits is easy to talk about. In the worst case, Sun Yue can continue to give up profits. Any disputes over interests in front of Dahanghai are scum, as long as they can be involved, but the key issue of trust has never been resolved.

In the eyes of these Semu people, the Great Song Dynasty is quite dangerous, because the monarch here has almost unlimited rights, and they have nothing to protect their worth and lives here except ships, but Sun Yue wants to cooperate with them The place is really a ship.

They can't understand this kind of power, and they are in awe of this kind of power. In fact, those Semu people who lived in the Song Dynasty had suffered enough from the change of the court, and those who didn't live in were even more respectful.

This worried Sun Yue, he didn't have a solution at all, but he didn't want to use it, because it was the real way to kill one thousand enemies and hurt eight hundred.

So he could only go back in despair this time.

After returning to Beijing, he learned that Zhao Tingmei's Silk Road was not as smooth as he imagined.The Song Dynasty developed on two legs, and both eastward and westward advances were not smooth.

In other words, it was much, much more unsatisfactory than he imagined.

The commonality of people is that when they come into contact with a strange country, they will always substituting their own country unconsciously. Zhao Tingmei also made this mistake. His Silk Road project has won the support of all the nobles in Gaochang Uyghur, and even the Gaochang Uyghur also Tens of thousands of camels have been prepared, which can be sold to Da Song at any time.

However, if he wants to get out of the Silk Road in this way, he has to be said to be too naive and too young.
