The maid asked nervously, but the smile on Asmin's face softened a bit and became more serious, and she said, "That's not the case, I just remembered this story. After all, we are still prepared, you go and watch
Just keep them in mind and don't take off your armor."
"Oh...oh, okay, Your Highness!"
The maid left quickly. Asmin was a little lost in thought and felt a little emotional in her heart.
This situation is indeed exactly the same as in the legend...
I originally thought that the history of the Tang Empire was the same as that of Persia. It was also 30% history, 70% legend, and 90% pure mythology. But looking at the current situation, maybe it was all true. It was too real.
.
But Asmin wasn't nervous either. She wasn't hiding her anxiety in front of the maid or anything, she was simply not panicking.
After all... most of the time, most people become slack after a long period of peace. But this is not a bad thing. As long as the team... or the leader of the country knows what to do, then at least things will not be too bad.
I have already made preparations a long time ago, and there is no need to panic and panic when things come to a close.
Then again...it's precisely because most people always take it lightly that it gives those who don't take it a chance to climb up.
Asmin shook her head, exhaled a breath, and continued to wait...
Waiting for the moment when the painstaking preparations in advance will come in handy!
…
the other side.
At this time, Xiao Yu was walking around the room in frustration.
Today's Xiao Yu... No, it should be said that many maritime merchants in the Tang Dynasty have already earned an objective amount of wealth. This is the power of the wind. And after earning a fortune, usually...
It is human nature to have various needs other than making money. For example, aesthetic needs...
Although few people have ever entered Li Sheng's small building, usually only a few of Li Sheng's cronies, such as Wu Meiniang and Dan Qing, or Wei Ziyu occasionally... But as time goes by, there are still many urban legends in Hangzhou city.
Among the maritime merchants, various fantasies arose, and the minimalist style in Li Sheng's house gradually spread...
Today, Xiao Yu's wealth has completely surpassed that of before. As soon as he became more particular about the house he lived in, he naturally began to imitate Li Sheng's house...
This is where Xiao Yu lives right now.
There is a large amount of pure white throughout the room, no more carved decorations, and the furniture used is all of the same pattern with very regular geometric shapes, and the same dark color suit with the same texture, which is very classy.
But at this moment, Xiao Yu was not in much mood to appreciate the scenery in his house, because he felt so depressed.
Xiao Yu felt that he had made the first correct decision in his life when he took Li Sheng's lead and was the first to build a factory among the many powerful locals in China who only knew how to farm.
The second correct decision was to accept Asmin as her adopted daughter. Later, Mangbaicheng prospered, and Xiao Yu felt happy all over.
Although this adopted daughter is a daughter and cannot pass on the bloodline, with such a relationship here, the Xiao family's business on the sea will inevitably be much smoother and more secure in the future. Although this adopted daughter is not really the owner of Mangbai City, the property rights of that place
It still belongs to the West Lake Industrial Zone, but because the West Lake Industrial Zone also belongs to the imperial court, Asmin's position is actually equivalent to an official position.
Considering the geographical importance of Mangbaicheng, there is no doubt that Asmin's official position is not low.
But there is no doubt that such a good thing cannot be free of cost, and it is impossible to pay nothing, so Xiao Yu also needs to provide corresponding benefits to this adopted daughter - to put it bluntly, this relationship is still an exchange of interests contract.
.
At this moment, what Xiao Yu is worried about is the safety of this foster daughter...
If something happens to this girl and Mangbaicheng changes its owner, then my idea of finding a foreign aid in the officialdom will be completely in vain. You must know that if Mangbaicheng changes its owner, it must be someone sent from the West Lake Industrial Zone.
And the West Lake Industrial Zone is Li Sheng's territory, and most of the people who work for it are upright, so a good opportunity like Jinlan's friendship is rare.
But now I am in Pangala City in the south of the subcontinent, and Asmin is thousands of miles away in Africa... If I want to say it is help, I can't say it is much help.
The actual situation is that Xiao Yu has heard the same news as Li Er a long time ago - this is why later European literary and artistic works particularly favored characters such as "captain" and "sailor", because sailors who ran at sea all year round
Shang, the extent of his supernatural powers is really no joke.
Moreover, in addition to similar news to Li Er, Xiao Yu also heard that the Romans had several powerful figures in their hands... There were many combat strategies and they were very difficult to deal with.
Because merchant ships often operate near the Persian Gulf, Xiao Yu also knows a lot about how Arabia was beaten.
At this time, the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty headed for Africa again...
Xiao Yu is not particularly concerned about this aspect. He originally wanted to see if there was any business to do, but other than that, the key point is that his precious adopted daughter also went there. It is said that she is building a commercial port...
Cooperating with the actions of the imperial army, this is equivalent to deepening the bond between Asmin and the court. This is originally a good thing, and Xiao Yu does not doubt that her adopted daughter can handle this matter beautifully.
But some time ago, he heard something - the Romans seemed to be sending troops to Africa again.
This makes Xiao Yu a little worried, but it is better not to get into trouble... Of course, this level of worry is not serious. After all, Li Er's forbidden army is well-known, and the reputation among the Turks must not be bad anyway...
So he wasn't too panicked. Anyway, Li Er must have known about the Romans' reinforcements and would definitely have made arrangements, so there was nothing to think about.
But apart from the news of additional troops.
Xiao Yu, he also heard another piece of news, and that was news about food... and it was this second piece of news that worried him.
The Romans dispatched a large amount of food to Africa.
If it is just to dispatch troops and generals, this is okay, but a large amount of grain... is normal. Whose emperor sends troops without dispatching grain?
But the problem is that the news Xiao Yu heard about food is that the amount of food is much greater than the intensity of troop deployment.
This is very scary. It means that the Romans are not deploying troops in a regular way this time. Since they conceal the size of their troops under the truth about food, they must have a conspiracy.
