"The Eastern Empire's mission is in Abbas?"

Gambis looked shocked, he had been sleepless all night for a while, worried about Osman's affairs, but now he suddenly won this opportunity.

"The Ottomans were often related by marriage to the Western nations, and they would certainly trust the West more than the Eastern Empire, and even if the Sariman insisted on his opinion, the other nobles would obstruct it, and this would be an opportunity for us," Arsasi said. “

Gambis deeply thought that he was still a little unaccustomed to when this world became the gladiatorial arena between the Eastern Empire and the European countries, and what position did this put the Central Asian countries.

It's just that Arsacia had collected some information from the Persian merchants two days before, and he was shocked by the strength of the Eastern Empire.

Now the steel warships of the Pamirs confirm that the merchant is not lying.

"In order not to lose the war with the Ottoman Empire, we should enlist the support of the Eastern Empire, Artassi, tomorrow we will leave for Abbas, and I will see the steel warships of the Eastern Empire with my own eyes."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Arsasi bowed and said.

The next day, Gambis and Arsasi set sail, and fifteen days later, a mighty court procession arrived at Abbas.

Tang Wenjie, who had lived on the Zhenwei for a month, was overjoyed when he learned that the Persian king had personally arrived at Abbas.

The proximity of the Persian king is enough to show that Persia attaches great importance to the empire, so he is very confident in this negotiation.

"Ziheng, get ready, let's go and meet the king of Persia together." Tang Wenjie said that after the Persian king came to Abbas, they were ordered to be heard.

In response, the house counted the gifts given to the king of Persia, and then he and Tang Wenjie got off the warship and entered the city of Abbas under the guidance of Bohemia.

By this time Gambis and Arsasi were already waiting in the governor's palace, and they crossed the heavily guarded road and soon met the king of Persia.

"Your Majesty, we are envoys from the Chinese Empire, and the purpose of this trip is to establish good relations with Persia."

After that, Tang Wenjie turned sideways, and behind him were wooden boxes, which were opened one by one at his behest.

Tang Wenjie said: "This is a gift personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor Xiao Ming for His Majesty the King, and I hope Your Majesty will accept it with a smile, it is just a small gift!" ”

The moment the box was opened, the entire governor's palace seemed to light up, and the Persian nobles standing on both sides of the room took a deep breath, as if their hearts were pinched.

Gambis admits he's seen countless gems and gold, but he can't keep his composure after seeing the contents of the chest.

He looked at Tang Wenjie with a calm face, and exclaimed in his heart: Is this a small gift?

Alsaci quickly returned to his normal state after being shocked, and he touched Gambis's arm to prevent Gambis from making a fool of himself in front of the emissaries of the Eastern Empire, which was his responsibility.

"Please send my sincerest greetings on my behalf to your Emperor Majesty, welcome to Persia, and you will receive our friendship." Gambis smiled.

His gaze swept over the brilliant jewel-like gifts, and then at other strange but extremely noble objects, and asked, "Is it true that the merchants of Persia say that the Eastern Empire is a magical country, in which there are steel monsters that do not need to eat grass, but which transport more than camels, and many strange but very practical goods?" ”

"The businessman didn't lie."

Tang Wenjie took out a beautifully shaped glass mirror from the box and faced Gambis, "This is a glass mirror, I dare to guarantee that there is no country in the world that has our clarity." “

Gambis saw himself clearly through the mirror that Tang Wenjie was holding, which surprised him a little, he had never seen himself so clearly.

Putting down the mirror, Tang Wenjie asked people to lift the pendulum clock from the box, and the numbers on this pendulum clock were all Arabic numerals.

Smiling slightly, he said: "In our country, this is called a pendulum clock, by which we divide the day into twenty-four hours, and now the number on this pendulum is the current time. ”

Gambis naturally recognized the Arabic numerals on it, and he was once again amazed at the ability of the Eastern Empire.

Next, Tang Wenjie introduced the gifts they brought in detail, so that Gambis could understand the use of these industrial products.

After Tang Wenjie's introduction, the Persian nobles on both sides were even more undecided, in their opinion, even one of these things in Persia was worth a fortune, and these gifts from the Eastern Empire were enough to buy ten Abbas.

Although Gambis was envious of these luxuries, there was still a trace of sobriety in his mind, for he had always thought that no amount of wealth was vain without the protection of the sword.

After expressing his gratitude to Tang Wenjie again, he said: "I believe that you must have come here not only to give me gifts, but it is said that now the West is easing relations with the Ottomans, and soon they will sign a treaty in Greece, which seems to be against you." ”

Tang Wenjie's heart sank, he didn't expect the West to act so quickly, he was silent on the surface, he said indifferently: "Your Majesty the King has misunderstood, for the empire, the European countries are just a group of clowns, not worth a penny, the real purpose of our coming to Persia this time is to establish good relations with Persia, as well as business and trade exchanges, and at the same time we hope that His Majesty the King can allow us to exploit black oil in Persia." “

"Black oil." Gambis's brow furrowed, this black oil is a household name in Persia, and in some areas people often dig this black oil when digging wells.

And this black oil was used in many ways in Persia, and the roads of Ctesiphon were paved with this black oil, in addition to this, the black oil was also used in construction, healing, lighting and warfare.

On the ships of the Persian navy there was a projectile weapon that fired ignited black oil.

"Is that all you want?" Gambis was a little surprised, and he thought that the Eastern Empire would instigate them against the Ottomans and the European nations.

"Yes, that's what we're here for, we're willing to exchange the Empire's industrial products for black oil and buy land to build oil mines, and hopefully His Majesty the King will agree."

"Hahaha......" Gambis suddenly laughed, "the Eastern Empire is indeed an interesting country, this black oil is everywhere in my country, I can sell it to you, but you must tell me why I need black oil." ”
