For several days, Judd heard no valuable information in this barbecue restaurant called "Friends of Camels".

Peternovic is the same. He wanders around the streets every day and doesn't hear valuable information.

However, the information about the empire losing part of Egypt and the island of Limnos began to ferment in the city. At first, the crowd was excited, but after the official explanation was that it was rented by the Truchens and paid a considerable portion of the rent to the Sultan every year,

The flames of the people slowly dissipated.

Life quickly returned to normal. In their opinion, the European part was originally taken from others, and now it is not a big deal to lose a few pieces of land occasionally.

If the merchant hadn't found something strange after arriving in Egypt and Limnos, it might have been possible that the people in the city would have been kept in the dark.

Adil did not set a time for Judd, but he also knew that the more he dragged on, the more it would be bad for Truchen.

On this day, he is going to try "Friends of Camels" again. If he hasn't gained anything this time, he will go to other lively places.

As soon as I stepped out of the door with my right foot, a person came outside the door.

About twenty years old, her skin was slightly dark, but she looked like a white European descendant. When she looked again, she was wearing a Jeniceri military uniform!

"Are you Yusuf Judd?"

The man held a piece of paper and looked at him and said.

“Yes”

"Very good, your servant Abudulla has been requisitioned by the Sultan"

Abudulla, Peternovic's name.

"Why is this?"

Judd thought it was bad.

"Sultan is preparing to form the Royal Navy, Jenicheri. All Shipasi have no children and white slaves who have hereditary lands. Anyone who is aged fifteen to eighteen, who is taken into account by the sword-holder, will be taken into the Navy, Jenicheri.

The Sultan has a order that anyone who is selected can be exempted from one year of trade tax”

"This..."

The Jeniceri looked serious and left after saying that.

Knowing that it was impossible to get more information out of his mouth, Judd hurried to Friends of Camel. It was night now, and most of the children of the destitute nobles who came here to chat were from the children of the destitute nobles. I guess there was a lot of relevant information.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, his left and right was already boiling.

"Oh, my poor Abbas was taken away. Woooo, although he is a slave, he is my loyal love"

"Oh, stop talking, my Ali was also taken away. Although he is not my loyal love, he is very capable"

Judd quickly found a place with an empty seat on the table and sat down. These people often met and were naturally familiar with each other.

"Judd, how about your Abudula?"

Judd shook his head, "The same is true"

He showed sadness again, "I am not like you, there are several servants, the black and white are combined, and I only have one Abudulla"

Everyone thought about it and felt balanced, and they came to persuade him.

Judd said sadly: "Where did they get these people? They took them away without explaining clearly. How could anyone do this? Our ancestors have made great contributions to the empire!"

Although one of them was also a child of a destitute nobleman, he had no land and shops, but his business was not very good. Seeing this, he quickly comforted him: "It's not a bad thing."

Judd suddenly thought of something that the eunuchs of the Sultanite often went to his shop to buy things. His mutton was the best in the entire Istanbul Lingang District, and most of them knew some inside information.

He squeezed out a tear, "I bought it for fifty silver coins. I finally raised it and could do things, and I was caught immediately. What should I do?"

The man looked around and said, "I have gone to be the navy Jenicer. Maybe you can also benefit from being a high-ranking official and aristocrats"

He also understood his meaning. Although Jenicheri had been in the military camp since he was six years old, if he caught a prisoner in a battle, then the prisoner would be his slave. If he still made great contributions, he would be able to obtain it.

The land rewarded by the Sultan naturally became a noble.

Judd wiped his eyes and asked, "Didn't Jenicheri start training from a child? How could he catch such a big teenager?"

The man whispered: "It's not that the Truqins are too dominant on the sea today. Not only are we, but Europe, the whole of Europe, is helpless, but our country is not without talents."

"Oh?"

"In the last time the Truchens attacked Odessa, a fleet retreated to the Marmara Sea. The general was a pirate of the jihadists. He was raised in the camp of Jeniceri since childhood. At the age of eighteen

Years were thrown into Algiers as a pirate of jihadists”

"When the Truqin people crossed the Strait this time, they set up a mechanism and almost defeated the Truqin people. Unfortunately, the Truqin people were not sailboats, but steamboats. The speed and turn were too fast, and in the end,

They still avoided it”

"But this person was still appreciated by the Sudan. He has appointed him as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy to train the Navy. The situation is urgent now. How can you train slowly as the Army Jenicer? You can only choose

White slaves from fifteen to eighteen years old”

"What is this person's name? Why do I always hear about it?"

"I don't know the specific name of this person, but everyone else called him "Swordholder". When he was in Jenicer, he was considered extremely smart by the imam of the army. Later, he entered the Great Monastery to study scriptures. I heard that he was right

Astronomy and geography are very sensitive, and have extremely strong hands-on ability. They are considered to be a rare naval talent in our country”

“Where do they train?”

"I don't know this. It must not be in the coastal ports. Those places are under the noses of the Truechin Navy, so I will definitely not be able to escape."

Judd nodded and continued to cry and said, "We are a master and servant. It would be nice if we have the chance to go over and see it."

The man grabbed him, "Don't make this idea, I heard that the blockade is very strict"

....

After Judd returned to his residence, he made a pot of tea for himself and then began to meditate.

"When blocked, it is definitely not a coastal port, and it is not even an inland river flowing to the sea, but the Sudan obviously does not want this navy he has high hopes to be too far away from him"

Soon, a place appeared in his heart.

Lake Chikmej, west of Istanbul!

It is close to the Marmara Sea, but there is a narrow sandbank that separates the lake from the sea, and enemy ships cannot come in.

The lake is about fifteen miles long from north to south and about five miles wide from east to west. The lake is quite deep, making it an excellent place to train the navy!

However, since it is training the navy and there are a large number of personnel, daily consumption is indispensable. There must be special merchants for it. According to the Sudanese tradition, except for paying Jenicheri's salary, all the consumption should be provided by all.

It is supplied by designated merchants, and is called "exemption of commercial tax".

I didn't hear anyone was in contact with this incident just now. It seems that the people here did not have the opportunity to supply items to this navy.

However, if this one does not have it, it does not mean that other homes do not have it.

For a while, Judd wandered around the city wherever he could go. When he was hungry, he would find a restaurant nearby to eat, and when he was tired, he would find a hotel to rest. Anyway, as he was, except for the Sultan Palace and those

You can't go near Jiada Temple, you can go anywhere.

A month later, hard work pays off, and he finally found out about it.

An Arab businessman from Medina got the opportunity!

This is the first time he heard of the name of this merchant. It seems that the Sudan did not choose Jewish merchants this time, but instead chose to do business on the Red Sea coast, especially those from Medina, who were still very thoughtful.

On both sides of the Red Sea, there are a large number of Arab merchants. They are not only widely distributed on both sides of the Red Sea, but also on the eastern coast of Africa. They are distributed throughout Asia. These merchants brought the Islamic religion to Southeast Asia.

Although the number of Arab ships in Europe is far inferior to the number of ships that resist wind and waves or cargo is still a force that cannot be ignored in the Indian Ocean.

The Ottoman Empire also needed spices, silks and porcelain in Asia. In addition to purchasing from friendly European countries, the most were Arab merchants from their own flags.

Finally, he found out that the merchant's housekeeper often went to a barbecue restaurant for dinner. Of course, it was definitely not a special one. The Arabs were weak here after all, so they also used the opportunity to make friends with noble children and big merchants.

It's the meaning.

What surprised him was that this barbecue restaurant was actually under the banner of "Friends of Camels". It seems that the country does not have the term trademark rights yet.

Finally, he learned that this barbecue restaurant was set up by a resigned civilian chef from Friends of Camel. In addition to eating barbecue, there are also fine wine and coffee. It seems that this chef not only grills good meat, but also has good business skills.

Judd will know after thinking about it carefully.

"Only the Arab merchants who have just arrived here can accept the exploitation of the Sultan. Most people can't withstand the consumption of thousands of people. However, as long as this merchant does this, he will be valued by the royal family in the future and can be listed.

Buyers' scope of royal items"

"It is still cost-effective to walk around the Ottomans more calmly. Didn't the Jewish tycoons in the past work like this?"

He walked into this barbecue restaurant.

He was in a good time, neither early nor late. If it was too early, he might not meet this person. Although there was no curfew in Istanbul, there were soldiers patrolling the city at 9 o'clock in the evening. If there were still business when I saw that I was open at that time.

The venue will not be polite.

If it's too late, I don't know when that person will leave.

He went in just one hour after normal meal time. At this time, the diners were very interested and all kinds of chats became enthusiastic. Most of the people who were qualified to come here also had wealth and would not just go to the house.

Come and eat barbecue.

As soon as he entered, a man sitting on a large table facing the street immediately jumped into his eyes.

"I am about thirty years old, unlike the Turks, the Arabs are slightly thinner, slightly darker in their skin, handsome and gentle, but they are still wearing Arab clothes"

Judd thought to himself: "If he appeared in Istanbul as a Turkic person, he would definitely be the same as everyone else. He was about to open up the situation here and he would definitely be independent and special."

Just so happens, there is still an empty seat next to that person.

He walked up.
Chapter completed!
