For quite a long time after that, agallite and his crew were incomparably beautiful! Every day, there are letters of invitation from nobles of all sizes, inviting them to attend various banquet activities in the noble manor. Every nobleman and businessman treat them with great respect and ask them all kinds of questions from elves. Ask them all about the elves. At the beginning, Garrett talked about these topics with great interest every day, but after a long time, not only he but also his crew began to get bored. Therefore, began to shirk the invitation from the nobility.
With the fermentation of time, the existence of elves and news began to spread rapidly to the European continent, North Africa and Asia Minor. In addition, a large number of goods from Elves were piled up at the port of Seville for sale, and some goods were transported to the prosperous port of the Tang Dynasty for sale. At that time, merchant ships of all sizes began to gather in Seville. They were all running for the beautiful goods that were said to come from elves. They even began to ignore the existence of silk, porcelain, tea and spices. In a short period of time, the ports where the people of Tang Dynasty used to be very prosperous were quite empty. But this kind of present situation, also by the officials quickly informs the Tang Dynasty monarch.
At this time, the monarch, who has just succeeded for ten years, is enjoying all kinds of beautiful flowers and plants in the back garden. After hearing the report, he frowns in displeasure. After patting the hands without dust, he ordered people to pass the news. Then a sweating official came in wearing gorgeous silk clothes. After paying homage, he said, "Your Majesty, recently, the fairy news and commodities from Castile have seriously affected our trade activities." He wiped his sweat. "In the past, our ports were full of ships, but now there is a serious outflow of merchant ships and merchants from the major ports. They gathered in Seville, with gold and commodities, looking for commodities from elves. How can we reverse this behavior that is not conducive to the interests of our country? "
On hearing this, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave a light meal with his tea hand, then took a sip of the fragrant green tea and said, "let''s send our navy to Castile and order all their goods to be assembled and sold in our port. This has been the rule and code of conduct that we have formulated for hundreds of years. When did Castile become so bold that he dare to violate the trade rules that we have formulated? "
"Maybe it''s because of the elves!"
"Spirit?" He sniffed, "it''s just nonsense. Maybe it''s something from a strange country that we don''t know, and then it''s called spirit, and then it''s deceiving the world." "With that ship of goods, we want to shake our position for hundreds of years," he said? It''s wishful thinking
"There must be a reason, your majesty."
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty even more disdained, "who has seen those elves?" He said, "can you believe the words of the barbarian sailors, the humble people with mud legs? Thanks to the fact that these foreigners are proud of themselves and call themselves "blue blood nobles", they have given the title of Earl in vain. Even if it is a nominal title, we can see what kind of goods these guys are He said haughtily: "don''t say whether the spirit exists, even if it does exist? They think that with these things from the elves, we can break our trade status? Would weaken our Suez trade? Don''t dream
"I want to show these foreigners that even if the elves really exist, the port of trade must be our port and the object of trade must be us! We will not tolerate anyone''s challenge for the hard work of our ancestors! " He said: "it''s no longer than before. Hundreds of years ago, we had less people and less land, but now, we have nearly 20 million people and can easily assemble hundreds of thousands of troops! Who is our opponent in the whole west? "
"Your Majesty said so." The official should be with, "that Minister starts to inform the navy to handle this matter now?"
"Well, go!"
"Yes."
After the officials left, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was languidly lying on the rocking chair, looking at the exquisite and luxurious garden in front of him, and murmured, "spirit? It''s wishful thinking to break the trade monopoly of the Tang people He is very smart and clear-minded. From the actions of those Western European countries, he can see what kind of wishful thinking they are playing. It''s just that they are envious of their trade interests, but their national strength is getting stronger and stronger instead of weakening. With the huge Navy, they almost turn the Mediterranean into their own swimming pool, so they have scruples. Then, they want to find a new way to China, and then they want to break their trade monopoly. But at the same time, he is also very clear that in the future, one country is bound to be unable to deal with many countries, especially in the unpredictable future, no one can know what will happen. Although their family inherited their ancestors and had unpredictable power and predictive ability, this ability also changed with the blood spread from generation to generation. The future is not where they say they can see if they want to.
Therefore, after he succeeded to the throne, he did not use all the money from the prosperous overseas trade for personal enjoyment, as his father and grandfather did. On the contrary, he spent most of his money on developing his own land, supporting his own agriculture, industry and commerce, and building direct roads connecting all parts of the country! Promote the prosperity of overseas trade, can affect the economy of the mainland, and then the whole country thoroughly revitalized! In fact, he has also done so. Under his administration, his country has become more prosperous than ever, and its national strength is also growing. Although the country''s huge population of nearly 20 million people can not be rich in oil, but compared with people in Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor, they are undoubtedly rich in oil.
At the very least, it is reflected in the national quality of the Tang people. They are generally tall and strong, and their stature is bigger than that of the Europeans. This is due to the good diet conditions and the "military career" that has long been cultivated throughout the country. At least, for one month every year, the right age men all over the country carry out military training. As a result, if they don''t send troops, they will be able to pull up a team of qualified soldiers with strong quality and military foundation in a very short period of time! Whether it''s the army or the Navy!
Therefore, this is his confidence and confidence, at the same time, he is most proud of the place!
After the order was given, the naval ships in the port of the Tang Dynasty began to assemble. With the sound of war drums, the huge Navy began to assemble. They are well-equipped and well armed at the moment of command. The navy soldiers began to come out of the barracks quickly, and then quickly boarded the ship. One by one, the combat readiness materials began to be transported to each ship. Every time they went out, they were ready to fight at any time!
In just a few hours, the huge navy of the Tang Dynasty was assembled. Then, under the awe and discussion of the local businessmen and the foreign businessmen, they formally set sail and went straight to the port of Seville in Castile! The goal, of course, is to maintain its trade status and bring the outflow merchant ships back to its own port for trade!
If Castile doesn''t know what to do, then the only thing waiting for them is... War!
