Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh

Speaking of which, many people in later generations thought that in ancient China, they were the only ones in China, and other countries were all trash. This is right, but it is not right.

Compared with Western Europe, it is no exaggeration to say that kind of flower family is simply a paradise. For example, countries such as Britain, Germany and France in the 21st century were basically equivalent to later Bangladesh and Ethiopia in the 10th century. They were neither rich nor civilized.

(So ​​the bourgeois revolution actually does not have that high requirements for productivity and national quality. Even in the Age of Discovery, the productivity of Europe is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty. The people's wisdom is even more indifferent, and the literacy rate of the aristocrats is not high.)

However, in contrast, the Semu people world is also highly developed, and is definitely far inferior to the Tang and Song dynasties. Before the 16th century, only our flower growers in the world had a population of more than one million, but in terms of shipping, they were ahead of our era.

Or it is these people who are leading the world in more than one era.

If Sun Yue wants to do a big voyage, he must be heading for the New World. Not to mention the technology and risks involved, Sun Yue believes that those who have ambition will succeed, but the problem is that the new aviation route is not what anyone develops first. If the whole world is a civilized and good baby, may the Semen people not be able to be strong in the face of such high interests?

If Semu Ren really fought a naval battle with the Song Dynasty, although it would have a little boosted the ambition of others, objectively speaking, the Song Dynasty really couldn't beat it.

In the original history, Semuren was the second-class nobleman of the Mongol Empire and was considered a ruling class. But for this reason, with the split of the Mongol Empire and Zhu Yuanzhang's expulsion of the Tartars, Semuren also ate and scraped them down. The little boat, technology and other things were all cheaper, and Zheng He was the one who went to the West. By the way, Zheng He himself was Semuren.

So before the foundation of shipbuilding was solved, Sun Yue knew that he would find a new continent full of gold all over the world, but he never dared to enter easily because he was afraid of making wedding dresses for the Semen for nothing.

If feasible, it may be a good choice to push the Silk Road along the way with the army, destroy all the Seminites, and then open up new routes.

However, after all, the Song Dynasty's army was not as strong as the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There were Khitans in the north, and the Dangxiang people and the Tubo people in the west were not vegetarians. If they really fought, the Lao Shi would probably not have a great chance of winning during the expedition, not to mention that there was a Gaochang Uighur in the middle.

So this is a threshold that cannot be avoided.

Fortunately, the Seme people today are no longer the Seme people who were united under the four major caliphs in the seventh century. Now they are actually more like a mess. Moreover, these people rule by religion, and the people have very low centripetal force on the country, even infinitely close to zero. (In fact, in ancient Europe, there was almost no concept of state, and they were all loyal to the lords.)

In addition to their true Lord, these commercial elements seemed to be loyal to money only. Otherwise, they would not have moved to Quanzhou in large quantities during the Yuan Dynasty.

Back to this moment, if the Seme people had to be divided into countries, it was difficult to say how many countries they should be, but if they were distinguished by doctrine, it was still clear, both the Sunnis in the Arab region and the Shiites in the Persian region.

So this may be Sun Yue's opportunity.

So at the Guangzhou-Zhou Conference, Sun Yue enthusiastically introduced the friendship of the Song Dynasty to them, and decided to invest with the "Group" and the court to build six huge ports and two huge shipyards in one go, and then sincerely invited them to invest in the shares, and specially found those ancestors who had already invested in the cooperation and told them about the beautiful life of the Song Dynasty.

In order to show sincerity, Sun Yue even said that all Semi people who settled in the Song Dynasty could pay for their own money to build mosques without restricting their missionary preaching. Anyway, the Han people naturally do not have the innate conditions to believe in any religion, although he knew that they would have some readers who were greedy and had no idea about anything.

His idea was very simple. He trapped all the ships and navigation techniques of these Semen people before the opening of the great voyage. If they really fought a naval battle with Semen people, they might not be afraid of them. If they really didn't work, they could be more despicable. After learning, they would kill all of these Semen people? Anyway, just keep the ship.

To be honest, the 10th century ***** was actually quite civilized. At least compared to other places in the world except the Song Dynasty and Khitan, both politics, military, philosophy, and culture are top-notch. They have the largest library in the world. The national literacy rate is much higher than that of the Song Dynasty, which is completely different from those green and terrifying cults in later generations.

The meeting began in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, and came to an end in an atmosphere of stability and unity. However, the progress was very limited. Except for those who had settled in Jizhou before, who were on this route, the Seme people on other routes were not very interested in settling in Quanzhou, and there were very few responders. Instead, they agreed to Sun Yue to help him build Quanzhou City.

It was a little rewarding, but it was far from the goal, so Sun Yue planned to empty Seminren.

It’s easy to say about profits. At worst, Sun Yue can continue to give in. Any disputes about interest in the face of a great voyage are slacks. As long as they can be trapped in, it’s fine, but the key trust problem can never be solved.

In the eyes of these Semu people, the Song Dynasty was quite dangerous because the monarchs here had almost unlimited rights. They had nothing to protect their value and lives except the ship. But the place where Sun Yue wanted to cooperate with them was really a ship.

They could not understand this power and respect this power. In fact, those Semi people who lived in the Song Dynasty suffered enough of the reincarnation of the court, and those who did not live in were even more far away from them.

This is so worrying about Sun Yue. He is not completely unsolvable, but he doesn't want to use it, because it is a real killing one thousand enemies and losing one hundred of them.

So he had to go back in shame this time.

After returning to Beijing, he learned that Zhao Tingmei's Silk Road was not as smooth as he thought. The Song Dynasty developed two legs, and it was not smooth to advance east and west.

Or, it was much worse than he thought.

The common feature of people is that when they come into contact with a strange country, they will always unconsciously interfere with their own country. Zhao Tingmei also made this mistake. His Silk Road plan was supported by all the nobles of the Gaochang Uighurs, and even the Gaochang Uighurs prepared tens of thousands of camels that could be sold to the Song Dynasty at any time.
