Chapter 680 Imperial Privileges
If the rice paper is sold overseas, it will enter the sea through the port of Banicia, and for Nasir, the opening of a branch in Brin is a great deal.
Due to the complex composition of the ruling class in the Arab Empire, the open and secret rivalry between each large tribe was very cruel, and it was not easy for Nasir to win a prosperous shop in Brin by himself.
Because even if Hisham belongs to the Abdul royal family, if he wants to participate in his tribe's one-third of an acre, it will be related to many government affairs placement issues.
Therefore, Nasir eagerly hoped that Li Zhi would agree to come down, and with the shop given by Hisham, all the cumbersome involvement would be avoided.
Li Zhi had already made some moves at this time, because Hisham's offer of help not only saved a large amount of store investment, but also ensured the safety of the branch.
Hisham was a Tu Overlord in Burin, and his tribe had been entrenched in Manlorin for hundreds of years, even after the Umayyad dynasty was overthrown sixty or seventy years later, and the influence of this tribe was still irreplaceable.
Arabia is a regional term that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Arabian Sea in the east, the Mediterranean Sea in the north, and Central Africa in the south.
It covers an area of about 14.2 million square kilometers and is located at the junction of two continents: Asia and Africa.
The current Arab Empire is a theocratic country, and its main control areas include West Asia, North Africa, Central Asia and other areas with mixed ethnic groups, so the importance of tribal peoples has irreplaceable distinct national significance.
As the chieftain, Hisham is naturally the supreme ruler of Manlorin Province under the control of his tribe, and his tribe is an inherent force under the feudal hereditary system, and his ancestors have the glory of Allah.
Therefore, the change of regime has no fundamental impact on this ancient tribe.
But the powerful Arab empire has taught Europeans a hard lesson, and the Europeans no longer want this history to repeat itself, so they need a divided Arabia.
The Arabs were less civilized, and the contradictions within the nation were greater, and the disadvantages of the chieftaincy system were obvious, and in history, at most a few hundred years of existence, they would eventually fall.
However, at this time, the chief had a very high status in the sect, and with the convenience of Hisham, Li Zhi was of course willing to take advantage of this situation.
And by virtue of this man's face, it will be private property that will be given to him, not the kind of publicly-owned commercial shop that pays rent on time.
It's just that Li Zhi did not give Nasir a direct reply in front of Hisham, but made a false and wronged attitude towards the former.
This kind of ambiguous attitude is the usual unpredictable way of the Tang Dynasty government, and in this regard, Dongtu Huaxia is the ancestor of the whole world.
Even as a politician, Hisham could hardly find out what Li Zhi's intentions were, at least at that time, he could not taste his deep sense of bargaining.
Li Zhi dared to play such a trick on the basis that Hisham was slightly ashamed of him.
After all, his party has always been highly entertained by Li Zhi, and intends to take his advanced technology as his own, and it is also a fact that Hisham is more or less ashamed.
Different from the usual way of negotiating in circles, Li Zhi's vague attitude is the most confusing, and it is something that Hisham does not want to see.
Putting aside Li Zhi's official identity, the people of the Western Regions have been in the Tang Dynasty for more than two months, but they are well aware of the mystery and power of the Eastern Earth cultivation world.
And what Li Zhi did in Luofu Mountain can be described as earth-shattering, and they will also get detailed information to be delivered.
Looking at this matter, Li Zhi's transcendent status in the cultivation world is the aspect that they value the most.
A real-life example is right in front of him, and Amin has only known him for less than a year, and he has been made into a unique Grandmaster Realm powerhouse in the Arab Empire.
Not only Hisham, but also the entire Abdul royal family is doing everything possible to win over the closeness between him and Li Zhi, and with his eagerness to rise to a high position in the Abdul royal family, of course, he can realize the invisible influence that Li Zhi plays in it.
Therefore, Li Zhi's unobvious statement made Hisham a little apprehensive, so after the former put forward several unfavorable factors for several major commodities, he couldn't help but put forward a bigger weight:
"Mr. Li, it is better to do this, I will join forces with Mahdi and several other princes to jointly request Emperor Merik to grant the Zhengqing Wenqitang a special commercial oracle, allowing the sale of tobacco and liquor, and enjoying a special status that is different from the inherent commercial order of Muslims! Moreover, the Zhengqing Wenqitang branch will be directly garrisoned by me to ensure the normal operation of the store! ”
As he spoke, Hisham was already waving to Mahdi, who had just walked downstairs, "In addition, we will also provide a series of preferential policy support such as clerk housing, military vehicle transportation qualifications, priority rights for free loading and unloading at ports, and exclusive direct supplier qualifications for public procurement!" ”
The preferential treatment of the nature of the policy is Li Zhi's main purpose, but before Mahdi came, he did not choose to respond, but waited for the official commitment at the prince's level.
Mahdi came to him, Hisham hurriedly told him what was going on, and Adam, who came with him, smiled and nodded in response:
"The emperor's eldest brother is the fifth caliph, and he has the highest right to interpret the doctrine, we will not have the slightest obstacle here, and we will actively cooperate!"
Mahdi was a little disappreciative and said: "I thought it was a big deal, Arabs are also very open and free about race and faith, even if alcohol is completely banned in the future, it is not difficult to give Zhengqing Wenqitang a special qualification!" ”
It is Mansour, who has always been stubborn and inflexible, that expresses his clear position:
"The relevant ban is only for Muslims, and Mr. Li is not a believer, so of course he does not need to be respected! However, there are still all kinds of concessions, one is to facilitate future actions, and the other is to use them to stop the unprovoked provocations of some fanatical religious elements! A piece of paper is a talisman that works even if there is a change of dynasty! ”
Mahdi further explained:
"There is also a charter under the absolute power of the teachings, and even the Muslim clerks of the Zhengqing Wenqitang branch do not need to be replaced, they also follow Mr. Li to have special permissions, as long as they do not drink, this part of the privilege is not difficult, and all dynasties have acquiesced to it!"
Li Zhi then hugged his fists and thanked Hisham:
"In order to thank Uncle Hisham for his assistance, I can promise to come down and help the cultivators around you achieve a few kings!"
The Western Regions is the same as Europe, the cultivation world level is called another name, the three levels of hunters are primary, level, and high, and they are called a unified powerhouse, the master level is called the king by them, and the grandmaster realm is called the duke.
Promoting a high-level powerhouse to a king is a cheap deal that can be paid at any price, because there is already one of the few top masters in the Arab world with the ordinary high-level king realm before Amin.
The king who is equivalent to the peak of the third-level master is the top existence there.
It is conceivable that the appearance of several kings will increase the potential strength of one side by a whole level, and the strength of Hisham's tribe will also soar because of this.
This is also one of the purposes of his intention to establish a close relationship with Li Zhi, hearing this, Hisham is happy in his heart, smiling on his face, and fighting on his eyebrows.
Compared with his appearance, Mahdi also cast an expectant look at Li Zhi, which meant nothing more than to show that he also played a role in it.
Li Zhi smiled and said to him: "Abdul Royal Guardian, I will explain it to Ah Ming, and the relevant cultivation resources will be handed over to him, so that he can expand his influence." ”
Amin's loyalty to the royal family is well known in the Arab Empire, and those present know that he will return to his homeland in a few years, and as the ultimate guardian of the Abdul royal family, he will retire into the background.
Once his prestige is raised, it will undoubtedly allow people in the royal family to establish greater influence in the local cultivation world, and Li Zhi's way is not only based on Ah Ming, but also from the perspective of the royal family.
Such a happy solution made the guests' emotions even higher, so the scene was full of laughter until the end of breakfast.
According to the plan, everyone went their separate ways, and Li Yifang returned from various destinations, and it was already after noon.
He declined the invitation of Qi Guan Zuoren to stay for dinner, but brought back Qi Guan Zhengqi and Qi Guan Guangtai.
The two of them rushed back to Guangzhou for the New Year before the year, and they would return to Ezhou City after the year, and they would also cultivate to the peak of the third-level master in the Tongyun Cave, and then ask Li Zhi for help to let the Qiguan family have two more grandmasters.
The two of them came to wait for Li Zhi to produce a sufficient amount of snuff, bring it back by them, and then send it to Chang'an City by Daoist Zishi.
For the help of the Qiguan family, Li Zhi paid unreservedly, not only because of the special relationship between Qiguan Zuoren and Sun Simiao, but also because of his selfless gift of the dzi.
The three Heavenly Beads gathered, so that the Heavenly Fire was born in Li Zhi's body, and the meaning of the existence of the Heavenly Fire was not lower than that of the Chaoyuan Secret Realm, which was the most extreme flame in the world, although it was far from evolving to that level.
Back at the inn, Li Zhi immediately called out Zuo San and Feng Si, they will be his future people, and establishing contact with Qi Guan's family as soon as possible will help him plan and arrange in the future.
In front of Qi Guan Zhengqi, Qi Guan Guangtai and the four daughters, the two solemnly expressed their gratitude and explained their determination to completely surrender.
Especially Feng Si, because of Li Zhi's help, he has since had excellent cultivation qualifications that are very different from others, and a vulgar expression is equivalent to a gift of infinite lifespan, which is much deeper than the grace of recreation.
Therefore, in front of everyone, Feng Si's attitude towards Li Zhi was called a deferential stutter, which actually made Zuo San feel a strong sourness.
Yi Yi strongly agrees with such a person with a good temperament, and this undisguised expression of personal emotions is very consistent with her straightforward nature.
