Wushi City was in the courtyard, Ma Dong quickly swept a few pieces of chilled watermelon into his stomach, and a refreshing and refreshing feeling dared to be spontaneous, and the hot feeling all over his body was swept away.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year later, the Seljuk Empire has been completely destroyed.

The changes in Baghdad, the attack of the caliph and Luqi, made Sanjar's plan come to naught.

It must be known that in Sanjar's vision, the Persian plateau was a huge flesh mill, and the Seljuk and Lu Qi armies would fight and strangle repeatedly on the plateau with complex terrain. Both sides will be spilling blood on a rampage.

Man cannot live without blood. Therefore, the fertile land of the crescent is the source of fresh blood for the Seljuks, not only troops, but also money, food, materials and so on.

With the entire fertile crescent, and even the covert support of the Fatimids in the south and the Byzantine Empire in the west, Sanjar was confident that he could repel the attack of the Lu Qi army.

The latter's combat effectiveness is certainly strong, but in the end, it is thousands of miles away from its homeland, and the two sides fight for consumption, no matter how you look at it, Seljuk has the advantage!

But who would have thought that Muktafi would stab him in the back at this juncture?

This knife really killed Sanjar.

After winning the Battle of Baghdad, Muqtafi reached a 'peace agreement' with the Lu Qi army, and then held high the banner of the Abbasids, calling on the Celestials of the Fertile Crescent to resist the brutal Seljuk oppression and exploitation.

Sanjar was so angry that he just wanted to vomit blood, and even the blow brought by the loss of Hamadan could not be compared to the counterattack of the caliph.

This is a caliphate, and the banner of the Abbasids was raised, and the Chinese really became cats who did not steal fish, and did not take advantage of the false to kill into the fertile land of the crescent. In this way, all cause and effect are intertwined, forming a general trend of 'Chinese are good friends' and 'Abbasid revival, heavenly revival'.

Muqtafi did not go against the odds to lead the rabble to attack Mosul, Abdul-Majid was not so easy to deal with, but Sanjar's idea of pulling bones from the fertile crescent was completely frustrated.

Even last year's winter could not survive, so he reluctantly retreated westward into Asia Minor.

Then a new opponent appeared on the battlefield, the Byzantines from Europe!

……

Summer in Wushi City is really both hot and cold. As long as it is in a shady place, it will not feel hot at all, and you will even have to cover it with a thin quilt at night. But under the sun, it can make people sweat profusely, and smoke can be produced on the top of the sun.

Exhaled comfortably, Ma Zhi buried himself in the chair. His eyes stared blankly at the roof, and he burst out laughing after half a loud sound.

My backer is right, if you want money, you have to take the right path, and following the court to get money is the fastest. It is a wise saying!

Earlier, the imperial court vigorously developed industry and commerce, and he invested his money in industry, isn't that more valuable than making waves in the stock market?

To be honest, at that time, no, including now, the environment for doing business in this Lu Qi country was extremely good, which can be called the most in all Chinese dynasties.

The imperial court and the government care for the investors who open factories and run workshops. Banks will not hesitate to lend money if they meet the qualifications, but if they can't, they can go to the Jockey Club to raise funds from private individuals, and they can always bring back a melon and two dates, and the business environment is unprecedentedly good.

Ma Dong is not an uninformed person, he has been walking in the mall for so many years, and the foreign businessmen he can talk to are not one or two, and he can understand a thing or two from the business environment of various countries described in their mouths. In this era, an environment like Lu Qichao's was unique at that time.

Perhaps only Genoa and Venice, which were founded on industry and commerce in the Great West, can be compared.

During the previous Zhao and Song dynasties, the commerce of the Central Plains was also very developed, so that copper coins were not enough at all, and the circulation of gold and silver could not completely make up for the loopholes. The appearance of Jiaozi is a good thing, but its use has a series of limitations.

But what about Lu Qichao? The emergence of gold and silver coins and banknotes has completely made up for the 'money shortage' in the market.

Ma Dong has been walking in the mall for a long time, backed by Ma Zhi, and is very aware of the importance of following the trend of the times. In these years, everything in the Central Plains is too in line with the survival and development of industry and commerce, allowing him to earn a lot of profits smoothly.

However, the total amount of his hard-earned family property in the first 20 years is naturally more than the profit he earns as a merchant with the army now, but the feeling of earning more than half a barrel after accumulating a bucket of water and a transaction in 20 years is very different.

When the difficult preliminary work was completed, when the entire system of military merchants began to operate, the huge profits were like a rushing river, so that the exhaustion accumulated by Ma Dong's early "labor" disappeared.

It's a pity that the area they can design is only limited to Tianfang, if Tianzhu can also be connected, then it is the real gold mountain galaxy wealth and resources.

Ma Dong, who is sitting in Wushi City, now has the feeling of 'money falling from the sky', and the gold that is raining like rain will bury his whole person.

Therefore, no matter how hard and tired he is, he is also willing to run around the freight yards and run around the Western Regions on a hot day.

……

An unexpected light rain brought a festive atmosphere to the prosperous border trade city of Jinhu City, and some hard-working merchants opened their shops early and officially started business, which made many outsiders who came to trade breathe a sigh of relief. If these Han Chinese don't open their doors again, some of them may have to kill sheep and eat meat. That would be a waste!

The nomads of the steppes, although they herd sheep and horses, do not eat meat as their staple food. Dairy products are the main source of food for the lower herdsmen, and the nomadic history of northern China for thousands of years, which dynasty of nomads can drink wine and eat meat in large bowls?

Don't substitute the Mongols of the rabbit era into the current society.

Goat's milk, cow's milk, mare's milk, that's their food.

As Lu Qi overthrew the Seljuks on the Persian plateau, a large number of Khwarazmians migrated south. At the same time, Lu Yue, the eighth prince, together with the main general Yang Zhi, led the army to 'peaceful' the Kipchak grassland.

Large tracts of pastures were vacated, waves of rebels were enslaved—Western Kipchak was a prisoner of war. This is also one of the reasons why the Byzantines intervened in the war, and the latter had the same beliefs. Lu Qi's army swept the eastern and western Kipchak grasslands, and the heads of the harvested people not only included the heads of God's lambs, but also the heads of some sheepherds, which made the entire monotheistic world furious after the news came out.

The Pope of Rome must also show his anger!

John II could only go to war and had to go to war. Because it involves shepherds, Byzantium can only be politically correct in the monotheistic world if it enters the war!

The Kipchak steppe, which was originally not very populated, is now even more sparsely populated. In addition, a large number of flower thorn Zim people went south, and a large amount of territory was also vacated, and Lu Qi used these to tempt the nomads in the north.

Sure enough, there were a lot of people who took the bait, and many clan leaders took the initiative to participate, because although they knelt down in the face of the Central Plains, they were still worried about the future relationship between the grassland and the Central Plains.

Looking at the actions of the Lu Qi Dynasty on the grassland over the years, the situation of the tribe may not be out of their control now, but what about twenty, thirty, and fifty years from now?

These clan leaders did not have the confidence to resist Lu Qi, and they also knew that they had migrated westward, and they only delayed for some time, but did not completely solve the problem. But that's enough!

A large number of nomadic tribes in northern Cyprus are migrating westward.

They will not enter the interior of the Western Regions, and will mostly go west along the Irtysh River, so they will pass through Jinhu City.

These days, I don't know how many sheep, horses, and cattle pass by outside Jinhu City, as well as the chartered cars.

During the migration of the tribes, livestock is a very valuable and valuable asset. Only the upper nobility could enjoy meat, and ordinary herdsmen did not have such luxury. A live sheep can be exchanged for more than two stones of husked wheat from the hands of the Han people, which is enough for a family of ten people to eat for more than half a month. But what about a sheep? In two days, only the bones were left in vain!
