One Tang Yi has been thinking about a question these days, a question that hurts a little, that is, after a thousand years, what will the Romans say about him as a madman?

Is it a butcher, a destroyer? Or the hero who saved Rome from suffering?

How will the Romans evaluate this period of history a thousand years from now?

Is it the beginning of a new era? Or is it the advent of the Dark Ages?

......

What will they say of Qi Xuefeng?

Is it to accuse the Holy See and the nobility of being greedy and shameless in murdering this great man? Or did he spurn this devil and lure the invaders to Rome?

In the end, it was Song Kai who helped Tang Yi solve this doubt, he was much more free and easy than Tang Yi.

......

——————————

In fact, since Tang Yi and he wanted to erect a monument for Qi Xuefeng in Rome, Song Kai has also been thinking about this problem.

Qi Xuefeng is great, but he is also a great Song Dynasty citizen as an invader, how will the Romans treat this monument in the future? What to do with this person?

Later, he figured it out, especially when the seeds they brought back from the Americas began to sprout, especially the picture of the mountains and rivers that gave everyone a bird's-eye view of the world for the first time.

This reminded Song Kai of a woman-Wu Zetian, and remembered the wordless monument that "merits and demerits are judged by future generations".

......

"Why bother?"

"Whether Qi Xuefeng is great or not, including whether the occupation of the Great Song Dynasty today is good or bad for Rome, leave it to the years to evaluate!"

Tang Yi nodded, his eyes eagerly looking at the monument in front of him that made him excited, shocked, and shocked!!

Above the ruins of the Colosseum, stands the epitaph of the Song people.

It was a real ruin, rubble that still held the remains of the corpse walls that had fallen from the shelling of the millennial arena.

That is the real monument, Weiruo Mountain, recording the magnificent feat of a Song people sailing through the sea!

"Good!!"

"Good!!"

"Very good!!"

Tang Yi screamed three times in a row, and the stuffiness in his chest disappeared.

Destruction is the sin of the Great Song Dynasty, and creation is the work of the Great Song Dynasty. After a thousand years, whether the sin is unforgivable or the merits are a thousand years will prove for us.

Turning around suddenly, there were countless Roman people in the audience who came to give the Great Song Zhuang...... Pointing to the monument behind him, he roared wildly:

"Remember this man!"

"Remember that he brought Rome not a fall, but a good one!!"

......

————————

Tang Yi is gone, the Song army is gone, and before the Great Song Dynasty sent a new Jiedu envoy, this place was in charge of the crusaders.

Of course, the current crusaders are no longer called crusaders, they took off their cross white robes, put on new Song armor, and changed their name to the "New People's Army".

became the new armed force of the Great Song Dynasty, as the commander of the New People's Army, Donald Levy temporarily handed over the command to his eldest son Oleer, and he and his younger son Thomas went to the East with Tang Yi to meet the new master, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Accompanied by the "bishop of the church under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty".

The puppet bishop's duty was to escort the Vatican's treasured "holy relics" to Kaifeng in the Great Song Dynasty.

These include the legendary Relic, the Spear of Longinus, and the Shroud of Turin.

This is actually Tang Yi's bad taste, and I haven't thought of any political value worth using for the time being.

However, since the relics of the Arab prophets have been sent to the Great Song Dynasty, it will be useful sooner or later to bring back the holy relics of the Holy See, right?

Even if it doesn't work, I can build a National Museum of the Great Song Dynasty, right?

......

It didn't take too long to cross the Mediterranean, and a few days later, when Tang Yi's fleet sailed into the Nile Delta and entered the interior, not only Edward, Donald and others who came with him were a little dazed, but even Tang Yi, who had just left Cairo for less than a year, was also a little confused.

When did Egypt become so prosperous?

......

The entire Nile River is densely packed with Arab galleons, Great Song Fu ships, and even many primitive wooden boats from South Africa...... Shuttling back and forth, so lively.

If it weren't for the exotic customs on both sides of the strait, as well as the long desert full of eyes, Tang Yi would have thought that he had returned to the Great Song Dynasty.

Because in today's world, except for the coastline and inland rivers of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no place that can be so prosperous.

And the fleet's proximity to Cairo is even more exaggerated, and the waterway of just a dozen miles is blocked to Tang Yi for half a day. On the harbor, there were sea ships next to each other, piles of goods......

"Obedient..."Tang Yi stared at Song Kai with wide eyes, "Your father can!" ”

Song Kai shrank his neck, "Don't mention him, you go to see him in a while, I'll hide first." ”

Well, when this product was also afraid, Song Zhuangyuan sent countless letters to him back, but this product was stunned and didn't listen.

If he doesn't come back this time, he won't be able to clean him up!

......

It's a pity that Song Kai was a little naïve, and before the boat docked, he saw that Song Zhuangyuan was already blocked on the dock.

However, it is obviously too busy to "pick up" his son, and he does not forget to deal with official business.

At this time, several businessmen dressed in Arab clothes called Song Zhuangyuan a tight, nodded and bowed, and that called a flattery.

However, Song Zhuangyuan, with both hands behind his back, his posture is proud, and he speaks fluent Arabic that is called a slip.

"Shagama, don't fool the official with your inferior spices, Sutuo's spices are much better than yours, but the price is two percent cheaper. If you continue like this, I won't be able to help you. You must know that when such spices are transported to the Great Song Dynasty, they are only worthy of going to the smoked thatched house, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty will not buy it. ”

....

"Malvi, as long as we have high-quality pork from the Iberian Peninsula in the Great Song Dynasty, the kind of high-quality goods that grow up eating acorns and the fat melts into the meat, we can't look down on the pork of Western Europe."

....

"Expensive? Don't worry about the price. ”

"Let's put it this way, you don't need to sell your ham in the entire Great Song Dynasty, Kaifeng, as long as the people of Kaifeng eat a piece of ham from you..."

"There are no pigs left in the Iberian Peninsula! Do you understand what I mean? ”

....

"Fan Sai, we are very dissatisfied with your shipments, the porcelain manufacturing supervisor of Quanzhou in the Great Song Dynasty has already been angry with me, if there is still only such a small order, we will have to change the operation."

“.....”

“.....”

Tang Yi, who had just gotten off the boat, was dumbfounded, "Cow! ”

Is this still a first-class Song Zhuangyuan? It's like a profiteer!

Moreover, it has only been less than a year, how did Song Zhuangyuan exchange such a prosperous Cairo?

......

At this time, Song Zhen obviously also saw Tang Yi, and finally made the people around him shine, and when he came to Tang Yi, the first sentence was:

"What about the little bunny!?"

Tang Yi wrinkled his nose, "Why is it so atmospheric?" Injuries. ”

"Don't come with me!" Song Zhuangyuan was very angry. "Say, Where is it?"

Tang Yi pointed behind him with his chin, "Your old man's aura, does he dare to get off the boat?" ”

"There's a cat on board."

“....”

I saw Song Zhen looking at the big ship for a long time, "Hmph! If you don't come down now, don't come down forever!! ”

"Come on, remove the springboard for me, I'll see how long he hides!"

Tang Yi rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, this Lao Tzu and his son will always be a pair of twisted enemies.

Master Fan and Cheap Chunli are like this, and so are Song Zhuangyuan and Song Kai....

Myself...... Why not?

Let Cao Jue settle Edward, Donald and others first, and he accompanied Song Zhuangyuan to stroll on the dock.

Looking at the crowds and the bustling Cairo wharf, Tang Yi gave a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart.

"Awesome! It's only been more than a year, and Uncle Song has been governed to such an extent that I can't see enough of those petty fights in Rome. ”

Song Zhen glanced at Tang Yi, "The ugly words are in front, don't plead for that little rabbit cub!" ”

Tang Yi was stunned back by Song Zhuangyuan when he saw a sentence, and couldn't help choking:

"Look, he's a bunny, so you're..."

"You!!" Song Zhen made a big red face, and he choked enough.

"Hey, hey." Tang Yi hurriedly smiled again. "Don't say this, don't worry, we will never intercede for him, you will kill him!"

"Shoot him now!! Kill him, and I'll help you transport the coffin back to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Get out!!"

Song Zhen couldn't cry or laugh, this little madman is also thirty years old, and he still hasn't been serious.

"Everything is okay in Rome?"

"It's okay, it's not as decent as your Cairo."

As he spoke, Tang Yi didn't forget to add, "In the future, you will have more snacks in Rome, and I'll leave it to you." ”

Song Zhen was not modest this time, and proudly glanced at the prosperity of the Cairo docks.

"Well said!!"

In terms of being stingy and clever, Song Zhen knew that he couldn't compare with this little madman. However, in terms of governance, Song Gongxu really didn't look down on Tang Yi's set.

Don't look at Tang Yi's rebuilding of the Senate in Rome, the armor protection system, and what kind of nursing homes and hospitals, the impression of a vigorous life in the hearts of the Romans.

It seems to be outstanding, but compared with Song Zhen, it is not enough to see at all.

Song Zhuangyuan: What level is that? That's an absolute old fritter who has been mixed with officialdom all his life. What can't be seen through, and what can be difficult to stop him??

In Cairo, Song Zhen only used one trick to compare Tang Yi to the point of being without a shadow.

In Cairo's situation today, Song Zhuangyuan only used one means - preferential treatment of Arab businessmen!

This move seems to be insignificant, but it is a one-hit defeat of the enemy, and it instantly captures the numbness of the entire Mediterranean.

To put it bluntly, it was the war between Europe and Arabia over the Holy City, the war in the Iberian Peninsula, or whether the Arabs were tilting toward the Seljuks or Egypt......

What is the root cause?

Is it just faith?

!!

Song Zhuangyuan stayed here for less than a month and saw things thoroughly, for the sake of trade!!

The root of everything is money!

How many of the European and Arab pilgrims who went on pilgrimage to the Holy City were truly religious? The vast majority of them were merchants who went on a pilgrimage.

And why did the Arabs in the Iberian Peninsula refuse to let go? It does not share a border with any Arab kingdom.

Haven't you taken a fancy to the fact that it is the mouth of the Mediterranean? Whoever controls Iberia controls the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

......

Seeing these clearly, what else does Song Zhuangyuan have to say?

The truth is already in front of us, whoever controls the commerce and trade of the Arab world is the master of the Mediterranean!!

Moreover, Song Zhen also has a Suez Canal in his hands, and a Great Song Dynasty with a population of nearly 100 million stands in the east.

This huge market, as Song Zhen just said, doesn't need the entire Great Song Dynasty, just Kaifeng eats your piece of ham, and there will be no pigs in Iberia.

For another example, if Guangjiangnan uses your spices, you will have no spices.

There's no way, the volume is there, as long as Song Zhen uses his brain a little, these Arab businessmen are not crazy and pounce on them?

As a result, Song Zhuangyuan implemented a policy in Egypt that can be called a textbook of occupation:

All merchants in the Arab world, regardless of your denomination, as long as they submit to the Song Emperor and settle in Egypt, automatically have the status of Egyptian ruler and enjoy the rights and obligations of the Egyptian people.

.....

This trick is too ruthless, Egypt governs the people, that is, the Great Song Dynasty governs the people.

The Great Song Dynasty ruled the people, and there was no need to pay for crossing the Suez Canal; The Great Song Dynasty did not need to collect maritime taxes.

In just half a year, almost all the merchants of West Asia came to Egypt, and they took Cairo as the center and radiated like locusts to the entire Mediterranean, the coast of Africa, and the countries of West Asia......

While doing business to every corner, we also praise the beauty of Da Song to every corner.

....

————————————

Tang Yi is really convinced, none of these old guys in Da Song are fuel-efficient lamps!

When Song Gongxu stayed in Kaifeng, he was a kowtow worm, and he listened to what the official said.

But as soon as he came out, he really turned into a dragon when he encountered a storm, and his methods were more ruthless and accurate than himself!!

....

"I'll just say it......"

Tang Yi smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "I'll just say that I can't be an official." ”

"When you enter the court, you old guys don't want to play to death, and you all let me before, right?"

"Hahaha." Song Zhen laughed.

"Now even if you want to be an official, it's impossible!"

Tang Yi was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

Song Zhen said, "I just received the news from Kaifeng, and the official family issued a decree to canonize the second prince Zhao Zonglin as the king of Jin, and give him the name: Shu." ”

"Jin Kaifeng Mansion Yin, listen to the government in front of the palace."

Tang Yi paused violently, and sighed in his heart, he ...... Why is he at this time?

"Your Majesty is going to make a prince?"

Song Zhen looked at Tang Yi playfully, "Yes, Your Majesty is going to make a prince." ”

"Just imagine at this juncture, even if you go back to the Great Song Dynasty, how can you, the teacher of the emperor's eldest son, be used?"

"Even before the crown prince ascends the throne, you can't even get out of Yazhou."

“......”

Seeing that Tang Yi was silent, Song Zhen turned to comfort him: "Go back and recuperate for a while, just stay in Yazhou and don't move anywhere!" ”

"Don't worry, when the overall situation is certain, the new emperor will ascend the throne, you will be liberated, and the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to do without you,"

"The new emperor can't do without you!"

......

Song Zhen thought that Tang Yi was lost, but Tang Yi didn't think about that.

Raised his head violently, "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

"Is there something wrong with him? What kind of prince does you set up!? ”

......

When Song Zhen heard this, he was stunned, it turned out that what he cared about was not who would take the throne, nor was he concerned about avoiding suspicion, he was concerned about the body of the official family.

"This...."

"Your Majesty has really not been in good health lately......"

"That's when I gave birth to the idea of establishing a prince early."

......
