Watching him leave, Li Ke sighed with emotion, no wonder people who sell luxury goods in later generations can become the richest man in the world for a period of time. Luxury goods are indeed profitable.
The profit of this pig iron is too low, it is only ten times to dozens of times, but this luxury product can easily start from a hundred times or a thousand times.
"Huo Gang." Li Ke called Huo Gang in.
"I'm here."
"After sending two large ships to unload the goods, bring five fast sailing ships back to Guangzhou, and ask Li Dai to send iron-making craftsmen here, and also ask him to prepare a production line for the production of arrows, etc., and tell Dang Renhong and Feng Well, just say that I ask them to station 10,000 Tang Dynasty elite navy to the Baling Peninsula within six months." Li Ke said with a serious face.
"Yes!" Huo Gang immediately saluted and turned to leave, while Li Ke called the maid, wrote down these orders, stamped them, and sealed them with fire paint for people to take away.
In addition to these, Li Ke also told Yuelai Trading Company to dispatch relevant management personnel to these places to manage these locations first, especially the newly added ports, and to give all the titles of his sisters to Li Ke. Li sent a letter and asked Lao Li to seal it first before talking about it. Otherwise, the name of this place cannot be changed randomly.
For example, Li Ke changed the names of places in later generations.
Singapore → Reich Island, Relic Harbor, Relic Channel.
Sumatra → Xincheng Island, Xincheng Port.
Andaman Islands → Puan Islands, Puan Port.
Sri Lanka → Minda Island, Minda Port.
Ganges River Delta → Yuzhang Island, Yuzhang Port.
The western peninsula of India → Baling Peninsula, Baling Port.
Maldives→Qinwang Island, an exclusive private resort island for His Highness King Qin.
After Li Ke's calculations, Li Ke had already named the peninsula where Oman will be located in the future → Dongyang Peninsula and Dongyang Port in advance.
Socotra Island, later Aden, was named Linchuan Island and Linchuan Port by Li Ke in advance.
Djibouti→Qinghe Port.
As for the islands in Malaysia, Madagascar, and Hawaii in South Asia, Li Ke hasn't had time to name them yet. There are too many islands and there are not enough sisters. Otherwise, write a letter home to Lao Li and ask him to give him more sisters as soon as possible.
The queen mother can no longer have children, but the other concubines can continue to have children.
Liu Yilong was a little surprised after receiving the notice from Huo Gang. Ten thousand troops were stationed? ! Could it be that the Tang Dynasty is finally going to take action here? If 10,000 elite troops cooperate with Datang's logistics troops, it will be enough for Datang to sweep across the entire Tianzhu continent.
At least Liu Yilong thinks so. Even those pirates can knock this place down. Have those pirates been trained? No! Even they can complete the cleaning of this place. For Datang's elite troops, taking this place is not a problem at all.
However, it was naturally impossible for Li Ke to explain it to Liu Yilong. Some things had to be developed slowly.
Li Ke did not leave here. It was not appropriate for him to go to Persia at the moment. Li Ke called Liu Yilong and Pei Xingjian over.
"You will lead three thousand elite navy, and then follow Pei Xingjian to Sasanian Persia. You will be responsible for combat missions, while Pei Xingjian will take the lead in other operations." Li Ke explained.
"Your Highness, you just want me to obey him! How can we have any combat mission in Persia?" Liu Yilong curled his lips. It's not like he didn't know that Datang's identity went to Persia. Although it wouldn't be said to be scary, but He will definitely be a guest.
What combat missions can they have? Even the Arabs would not be able to use force against the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that they did not seem to have any contact with the Arabs in the early days.
"You can listen as you are told. Do you understand the negotiation aspect? If you understand, just go by yourself. I just asked Pei Xingjian to go to Rome." Li Ke said calmly. As for the so-called distant friendship and close attack, there is indeed an alliance between the Tang Dynasty and Rome. possible.
Rome is Byzantium. The Tang Dynasty called it the Kingdom of Fulin, but in fact Byzantium was the name of later historians. In fact, Byzantium during this period always considered itself to be Roman orthodoxy, and their citizens and themselves also always considered themselves Roman orthodox. They all call themselves Rome and call themselves "Romans".
So there is no problem for Li Ke to call him Rome. In its original history, due to the rise of Arabian food, Rome sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty seven times during the Tang Dynasty. It attached great importance to its relationship with the Tang Dynasty. As for the reason , naturally because of the threat of Dashi.
Because the two sides are located on the east and west sides of Arabia, there is no strategic conflict, and an alliance with each other will indeed have a strong restrictive effect on Arabia.
But in fact, the Tang Dynasty has long known the difference between the current Rome and the former Qin Dynasty and Rome, so it did not continue to call them Da Qin.
The reason why ancient Rome was called the Great Qin State by the Han Dynasty at that time was because people in Central Asia and North Asia at that time used to call China Qin. Because the country was strong and its cultural relics and systems were comparable to those of China, it was called the Great Qin. The Qin Dynasty in the Western Regions.
It is recorded in the "Book of the Later Han", "Book of the Jin", etc. It can be imagined that although the Qin Empire was short-lived, it was very famous.
The main reason is that the Qin State beat the Western Regions like a son before unifying the six kingdoms. At that time, the Western Regions had a strong influence on the Qin Dynasty.
"Uh, forget it. Let him go with me. I don't know how to play those twists and turns. Otherwise, your highness, you can write a strategy for me. I will memorize it and execute it directly. No matter what Whatever the other party does, I just follow this, and I should be fine." Liu Yilong choked for a moment, and then said.
"Forget it, you should be responsible for fighting the war." Li Ke was speechless.
Pei Xingjian has been following Li Ke for so long, and he has actually gained some experience. The reason why Li Ke brought him along this time was because he had another mission. After he returned to the Tang Dynasty, he needed to station someone with great foresight here. People, in this era, to be honest, Pei Xingjian, who was trained by Li Ke and accepted new ideas, is a qualified candidate.
After explaining to Pei Xingjian, Pei Xingjian took all the other large ships to the Western Regions except for the King of Qin, which had been completely unloaded.
After sending Pei Xingjian away, Li Ke stayed at the port for more than ten days and waited for the first batch of food supplies from the Harsha Dynasty. But what Li Ke didn't expect was that a group of beauties also came with them.
The person in charge of trade is naturally Ashun Luo.
"Your Highness, these women are all descendants of Brahmins and Kshatriyas, and they are all proficient in India's traditional culture "yUg" (yoga) and can perform many different postures." Ashunra whispered.
Li Ke looked at these women who were very in line with oriental aesthetics and was speechless for a moment. He believed in the origins of these women because their skin was almost indistinguishable from that of Aryan whites. This kind of skin was definitely a sign of top nobles in the Harsha Dynasty of this era.
Proficient in yoga... Li Ke had a weird expression, and he said we can't fight in the Western Regions just for raisins.
