Chapter 830 Unlucky Hussein

The word Dashi comes from the transliteration of the ancient Persian word tajik. When the Persians ruled the Arab world, they used this word to call the Arab tribes. Later, through the ancient Silk Road, the word was also spread to China, so the Chinese collectively called people from this area Dashiren. In the Han Dynasty, it was called "Tiaozhi", and in the Tang Dynasty, it was called "Dashi".

Fang Jun had no idea about the Great Food Kingdom, but he knew that Mohammed, a Muslim-recognized Islamic prophet, and the majority of Muslims believed that he was the last messenger sent by Allah to mankind, commonly known as "Praety" among the Islamists...

The founder of the Great Food Kingdom was born in Mecca on the Red Sea, the Arabian Peninsula. When he was young, he was poor and worked as a servant. When he was forty, he thought about innovation and went to Mount Heila near Mecca day and night, trying his best to find the art of saving his soul. He once saw a figure on the mountain and thought that it was the shadow of the angel Geberir. He once met Jews and Christians, and was greatly influenced by it. Because he created the Protestantism of the One God to replace the many theories in Arabia, which was later called Islam.

The essence is to follow the will of heaven, love mankind, and seek peace in the world. China is also called Islam. Later, there were more believers and they were not tolerated in their hometown. So they fled north to the city of Jatolibe. In 622 AD, Islam took this as the first year of the year. Later, he raised an army and flattened the Arabian Peninsula.

After Mohammed's death, his power became even stronger. He defeated Persia, invaded India in the south, and became enemies of the Tang Dynasty in the east, and established the powerful Abbasid Dynasty.

The pronunciation of "tajik" is like "Dayi", so Dashi should be pronounced "Dayi (four tones)" instead of "Dashi"...

The name "Hussein" is many among the Arabs, and Fang Jun even knew that these three words were included in the name of the black president of Midi in later generations.

Fang Jun thought he had been called Hussein for a long time in his previous life. He used to have meaning in Baidu. Baidu said that the original meaning was "a handsome man"...

But what surprised him was that the bearded man in front of him looked vicissitudes, his voice was clear and majestic, and he was full of energy. Although his Chinese voice was inevitably weird and unpleasant, he didn't sound very old last year.

Fang Jun couldn't help asking: "I wonder if you are Gui Geng this year?"

After traveling for a long time, he always shouted to the cultural people. Fang Jun's words subconsciously became illuminated. As soon as he said that, he realized that something was wrong. I am afraid that a bad person would not understand the word "Gui Geng". He was about to ask again "How old are you?", but Hussein had already replied: "I am twenty years old next year."

It's actually a Chinese communication...

This made Fang Jun more surprised than the huge difference in appearance and age: "It seems that you have come to the Tang Dynasty a lot? It is surprising that you speak so well in Chinese. But Hussein is your name, I wonder what your surname is?"

Fang Jun has always sat behind the desk, looking extremely rude, but Hussein obviously didn't care. He replied respectfully: "I am from the Hashem family who came from Medina."

Damn it!

Fang Jun was in awe.

That's Mohammed's family!

The oldest family in Arabia with a high status!

Fang Jun asked in surprise: "Are you going to war in your country now? Has Baghdad captured? Has Damascus occupied? Has Jerusalem occupied? It's incredible. As a member of the Hashem family, you actually ran to the east?"

Fang Jun didn't know when Muhammad died, but I had read an article introducing Arabia before, which seemed to be in the early Tang Dynasty. After Muhammad's death, his status was inherited by the "Four Caliphs". From then on, the Great Food Kingdom began to expand the country's battles.

During this period, they unified the Arabian Peninsula, occupied Iraq, eliminated the Sassanid dynasty of Persia, ravaged Jordan, Palestine and Syria, captured Jerusalem, and then defeated the Byzantine army and then captured Damascus, then invaded Egypt and occupied Alexandria...

It can be said that the Great Food Kingdom of this era is an invincible existence in West Asia.

Why did a child of the Hashem family run to the far east instead of fighting bloody battles for the family on the battlefield?

Doing business?

Fang Junke does not think that the Hashem family is so poor that they need to come to the East to do business and earn military expenses...

Hussein's eyes were wide open!

How could this rude Tang nobleman know that the great Arab Empire in the distant West had captured Baghdad? How could he know that the bravest and wisest general of Arabia, Khalid Ibn Velid, who was known as the "Sword of Allah", had led the Arabs to quickly pass through the rarely-petitive Syrian desert, annihilated 50,000 Byzantine troops on the banks of the Yarmuk River, and occupied Damascus, the capital of Syria?

I only set sail to the far east after Khalid Ibn Velid sent troops from Damascus to capture Jerusalem. Even if merchants came to Tang at the same time, they would not have brought such detailed information!

Allah is above, how did this nobleman of Tang Dynasty know?

Did Allah give him a dream?

Seeing Hussein's two followers shocked, Fang Jun beat him up, feeling that he had said too much, so he quickly ordered the clerks beside him: "Hurry up and arrange seats for several messengers of Allah and serve tea!"

The clerks then moved the chairs. It was not that they were rude, but in the eyes of all the Tang people, these Hu merchants in the Western Regions were all lowly and inferior people, and there was no need to treat them with courtesy. The general manager was willing to meet them to save face, okay...

As for what Fang Jun and Hu Shang said, he couldn't understand it in confusion. Allah's messenger?

Several clerks who had never contacted Arab merchants were confused. Who is Allah?

Is it the Emperor of the Hu people?

Oh, the chief manager is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Hu Shang didn't even say which country he belonged to. The chief manager already knew who the emperor was...

Tsk tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he is the chief manager, convinced!

The chair was brought in and the tea was served. Hussein did not sit down, but bent down to salute Fang Jun again, with a hurricane in his tone: "This time he came to ask for a meeting, there is really a hundred thousand urgent matters to beg the Marquis."

Fang Jun's eyes turned and said with a smile: "Why be so impatient? Let's sit down first, drink a tea to quench your thirst, and then slowly talk about it. This marquis is the most hospitality. There is a saint in our Tang Dynasty who once said, 'Is it a pleasure to have friends from afar'. Since you have come to the Tang Dynasty for thousands of mountains and rivers, meeting is a fate, no matter what difficulties you have, this marquis will definitely help you, come and drink tea."

Regardless of the fate that people believe in God or not, he picked up the teacup and paid tribute from afar.

Hussein had no choice but to sit down with two followers first and pick up the tea cup.

A light and timeless fragrance penetrated into the nostrils, and a few people were shocked, but they had never drunk such a light green drink. They were a little embarrassed. Seeing that Fang Jun had already sucked a little, they followed suit and took a sip.

The tea enters the throat, smooth, clear and astringent, and leaves a fragrance in the mouth, neutralizes the greasy and refreshes the mouth because of the greasy and edible beef.

Hussein raised his beard and asked in surprise: "What is this? I have never seen it before."

Fang Jun smiled and said, "This is tea leaf, which is the leaf of a plant. Don't underestimate this small leaf. A tea tree can only pick a few young leaves every year. It is more expensive than gold. In the Tang Dynasty, it is a top luxury that only nobles can enjoy. Moreover, this kind of tea can relieve greasiness in the belly, clear away heat and detoxify, and be beneficial to the body and mind."

Arabs eat beef and mutton, drink milk on their own, and are more practical in daily life. Tea is the best drink they need. Otherwise, why did tea become the largest commodity for East-West trade like porcelain? Even due to the large demand for tea and porcelain of ordinary Western people, the huge deficit between East-West trade, which forced Western countries to balance the trade difference by dumping large amounts of ducks into the East, indirectly promoting the ducks war...

Hussein in front of him is an Arab nobleman. Can he sell tea from him to the West in advance and earn a large amount of gold coins?

Unexpectedly, Hussein just expressed his amazement and curiosity about tea, and quickly changed the topic and said with a heavy expression: "Dear Marquis, I am not to hide it. I came to Tang this time and led a large caravan. It's a pity that I encountered a hurricane and heavy rain on the coast of Tianzhu on the way. Half of the merchant ships sank, so I had to lead the rest of the merchant ships to Tang trade. But who knew that when I entered the Yangtze River and wanted to go to Chang'an of Tang, I was attacked by pirates..."

Fang Jun was stunned and thought to himself how bad your luck is?

First there was a hurricane, then there were pirates...
