Chapter 671

    The Tang people bravely dispatched troops to seize the land along the Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula that will be excavated for navigation in the future, as well as many islands above the Red Sea, and the isolated island of Socotra in the east of the horn of Africa. After the negotiations and the signing of the treaty, the people of the Tang Dynasty once again added 10000 troops and stayed in various places. At the same time, we began to build a new port city in the future. At the same time, a large number of construction materials and related architects came to Egypt across the sea.


    No, or at present, these lands belong to the Tang people. The attitude of seeking peace and inaction of Fatima Dynasty stimulated the internal contradictions and discontent. In the face of the land being occupied, and because of the part of the land occupied by the Tang Dynasty, the territory of the Fatima Dynasty in Noda was divided into two parts. In fact and fundamentally, the two departments have failed to comply with government orders. From then on, if the Fatima Dynasty wanted to carry out the decrees in the vast Eastern Middle East, it had to go by sea. On land, because of the separation of the Tang Dynasty, the Fatima Dynasty had already been dismembered, and the fall of this dynasty began to enter the countdown stage.


    The countries involved in the construction of the Suez Canal closely followed the steps of the Tang Dynasty. Both the state and the local feudal lords gathered huge funds and manpower to participate in the construction of the Suez Canal. They recruited workers in the nearby Fatima Dynasty. At the same time, engineers with unique experience in canal construction from the Tang Dynasty also came to Egypt in North Africa and began to survey the route of canal construction along the road. Finally, the engineers decided to excavate the canal from three sections at the same time. One section was excavated by the later port said area, the other section was excavated by Ismailia in the middle, which communicated with many lakes including the great bitterness lake, and the last section was constructed from the southern end of the great bitterness Lake to the Red Sea.


    After the plan was finalized, the Tang Dynasty began to mobilize materials, and called on many countries to pull all the criminals and slaves to Egypt to build canals. At the same time, more than 100000 workers were recruited from the native land of the Fatima Dynasty, but they were not given any money. The Tang people and other countries were only responsible for providing food. Similarly, this is also the result of forcing the Fatimids in the treaty. Most of the money transported by various countries was used by the Tang people to purchase grain and other things in China, which was used to consume the aged grain that had been accumulated for several years, and also to stimulate domestic agriculture. With the highly developed overseas trade and the profiteering industry of overseas trade, the agricultural development in Tang Dynasty is less and less valued by the people. There are too many people who choose to go into business or other industries.


    However, knowing that agriculture is the foundation of a country, the whole Tang Dynasty tried to reverse this disadvantageous situation many times. But the effect is very little, due to the development of domestic agriculture, as well as the improvement of grain production, the granary has been full of grain. The price of grain dropped again and again, and the whole territory of the Tang Dynasty had developed water systems and rivers. There were as many as nine rivers with fast flow velocity and deep water depth, and there were few tributaries. With the development of water systems, floods broke out frequently throughout the Tang Dynasty at the beginning. After decades of unremitting efforts in sorting out and building canals, today''s grand scene came into being.


    However, as the Tang Dynasty turned to overseas trade, and as their goods and materials diversified into China, more and more goods were sold overseas. And overseas commodities are also returned to China with merchant ships, plus the highly developed agriculture, which is full of grain every year. As well as commercial prosperity and profiteering, resulting in more and more people want to engage in commercial activities.


    After the investigation of the Tang Dynasty, many good farmland in China has been in a state of semi waste. Now, with the construction of the Suez Canal and the atmosphere of governments wanting to participate in the share, the Tang Emperors and ministers decided to purchase the grain supplies for the canal workers from China. On the one hand, it can solve the problem of old grain accumulated in barns for several years, on the other hand, it can stimulate all walks of life in China again.


    Sure enough, when the decree came out, cities and farmers all over the country cheered. Mountains of grain were taken out of the warehouse, and the old grain accumulated by each household was also taken out of the warehouse and sold to the government purchasing personnel. The income of farmers has been improved, and the agriculture, which had been a little depressed, has been revived again.


    Without the help of cranes and a series of construction machinery, the construction of the Suez Canal in the dark middle ages is undoubtedly a very difficult project. Basically, it can''t be repaired without 20 years. However, the Tang people are not depressed about this, which means that they can extort money from other countries for 20 years, and their country will continue to prosper for 20 years. I believe that after 20 years, it''s hard to imagine the extent to which the territory, society and national strength of the Tang people will be enhanced.


    During this period, the Tang people did not pay anything. They kidnapped the whole Europe, North Africa and Middle East countries to pay for it. However, they get the most profits, and governments have to pay for it for 20 years before they can see the benefits. During this period, with the continuous inflow of funds every year, all walks of life in China will get a stable and high-speed improvement. Their people will become richer, and the government''s taxes will rise.


    With this amount of money, the Tang government could increase the construction of domestic infrastructure, continue to strengthen domestic rivers, and connect cities and villages across the country. For children''s basic education, can also vigorously support and development. Whether the canal succeeds or not 20 years later, the people of the Tang Dynasty are sure to make money.


    First, we don''t have to waste money, second, we don''t have to bleed, third, we don''t have to offend other countries. On the contrary, he is an ally who has won a vote for himself. Just because of the silk trade, many countries rushed to participate in it. In this way, I can not only get real benefits, but also buy people''s hearts. Why not do it?


    Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it''s a win-win business.


    There is no doubt that the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are laughing, and the participating countries began to think about it carefully after their initial blood cooled down. But the more you think about it, the more wrong it is. The canal will not be completed in a few years, but it will take a generation. During this period, their countries have to continue to build canals every year, adding funds to maintain the stability. It''s ok if the time is short. If the time is long, the problem will be big. The more countries think about it, the more they regret it. The answer of the Tang people is very simple. Want to go back? Yes, once the canal is completed in the future, there will be nothing for you. Your merchant ships can''t get into the canal, and you can''t get any profit either.


    In the face of such an answer, countries began to calm down. In addition, they have paid a lot of money. Once you want to quit, the money will be wasted. Ask the people of Tang Dynasty what they want? They ignore you and start a war? Think about it carefully, the other side is a Mediterranean dragon, can''t fight at all. As a result, governments that want to cry without tears can only grit their teeth and continue to stick to it. For a time, in the past 20 years, the land of Europe has become much calmer, and few people have fought?


    Because there is no money, they are all used to build canals. They can''t afford to fight.


    In this way, the people of the Tang Dynasty seem to have done a good thing! It''s good that no one will fight. We don''t have to bleed. It''s good to live in peace. It''s not good to fight. How distressed should my son be when he''s gone on the battlefield? Don''t fight, OK. Let''s do business together. Well, you wait. The canal will be completed in 20 years, and everyone will become rich overnight!


    In the meantime, I''ll enjoy being rich first!
