Li An sailed continuously for many days in the Mediterranean Sea, and indeed did encounter a lot of merchant ships on the road, but the Great Tang merchant ship was not encountered, most of them were merchant ships of Arab merchants, and a few were merchant ships of Europa. This situation is clearly different from the previous sailing.

After going south from Great Tang Guangzhou, the merchant ships encountered along the way have always been dominated by Great Tang merchant ships. The number of merchant ships in the remaining countries is not large. Why did this situation reverse in the Mediterranean? This is naturally because the canal connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean has not yet been opened.

The distance between the Great Tang and the Mediterranean Sea is too far, and the ships sailing at sea cannot reach the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, in a short period of time, the Great Tang merchants cannot naturally enter the Mediterranean Sea or even the Europa region.

If there are a small number of Great Tang merchants that have entered Europa, it is not unusual, but a small number of merchants must not cause too much impact, so that Li An sailed along the way, a Great Tang merchant ship was not seen.

The expansion of a country will be limited by geographical conditions, and at the same time, the overseas trade of a country ’s businessmen will also be limited by geographical areas. After all, if there is no particularly good profit, no one will be willing to go too far and cross the mountains. To earn this hard money, in short, if the Great Tang merchants cross the desert and go to the Mediterranean to trade, they must take great risks, and the benefits they can obtain may not be able to make them tempted. After all, the cost is too high, and , It was very hard.

If the construction of the Great Tang Canal can be completed and the Great Tang merchant ships anchored in the Red Sea can enter the Mediterranean Sea freely, this situation will change. Because the merchant ships directly enter and exit freely, the cost and risk of trade will be greatly reduced, and People do not have to suffer too much, and the number of businessmen willing to trade in the Mediterranean will naturally increase on a large scale, thus extending the benefits of the Great Tang to the Europa region.

Because of this, when Li An proposed to build the Great Tang Canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, almost everyone who knew it was very excited, especially the merchants were even more happy because it meant that they could Can I be unhappy if I have made more money?

The Grand Canal communicates with the two seas, making trade smoother. Most people can benefit from this canal, and the only one whose interests are damaged is estimated to be the camel gang responsible for transporting goods by land.

In order to save transportation costs, Europa ’s commodities are transported to northern Egypt in large shopping malls. Then, they go ashore from the place closest to the northern end of the Red Sea, take land transportation to the northernmost end of the Red Sea, and then board the ship again to ship to various port markets. The mode of transportation is the most cost-effective.

Among them, the shipping in the Mediterranean Sea and the shipping in the Red Sea are both low-cost. This section of land transportation only has the highest cost, and it is also the easiest to encounter thieves. Many businessmen are afraid of this first stage, so, Simply stop doing business in the Mediterranean, wait for someone to ship it, buy it at a high price, and then sell it to a higher price at a higher price.

Businessmen will be robbed when they pass this section of the road, so in order to protect their belongings from loss, they will choose to hire bodyguards, which is a huge expense and will greatly increase The cost of goods.

The bodyguards responsible for protecting commodities and the robbers who depend on looting do not want the Grand Canal to be repaired, because this means that their livelihoods will be destroyed.

But the will and determination of the Great Tang empire will not change because of them. If they dare to oppose, they will face a fierce blow from the Great Tang empire. In addition, Altik and Ottoman on the left and right sides have expressed their support for Great Tang Canal has been planned, and these small forces will naturally not be able to set off any storms.

In short, the construction of the Great Tang Canal that connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea is already an established national policy of the Great Tang Empire, and no one can change this status quo.

Li An is sitting in the cabin and looking at the drawings. Li Xiaolu is next to him, gently massage the legs for Li An, so that Li An can relax very well.

“Ah! How did the boat shake?”

Li Xiaolu felt surprised when the ship’s hull became larger.

Although, Li Xiaolu had seen the waves on the sea, when he met again, it was inevitable to startled. After all, no one likes to encounter the waves on the sea.

Li An gently put down the drawings in his hand, stood up, and went out with Li Xiaolu.

After walking on the deck, Li An found that the wind outside was relatively strong, and in the high altitude in front of the right, there was a tropical storm that was very difficult to deal with. It was not very close to the storm, so Li An ’s fleet not at all is affected too much, but it’s a little more intense than before. That’s all, not at all is too big.

However, if you continue to approach the storm center, it is very dangerous, Heaven know’s what can happen.

“Minister Li, there is a thunderstorm in front, let’s pause for a while!”

A subordinate ran over to report.

Li An nodded and asked, “Can Harbor be sheltered nearby? The soldiers should also take a break.”

“Not far from the left is Benghazi Harbor. Now this Harbor was previously occupied by pirates, but at this moment it already belongs to Ottoman, and Harbor’s safety is still guaranteed.”

The subordinate said.

Li An nodded, opened the mouth and said: “Okay! Then go to Benghazi to hide and let the soldiers relax.”

One move, two gains is a good thing, and it was made under the circumstances of being spelled by circumstances. Of course it is a good thing. Li An gave the order without hesitation.

The subordinates immediately communicated the order to let the entire fleet quickly march towards the Benghazi Harbor.

Li An is very familiar with the name Benghazi, because this Harbor is also very famous in later generations, it is almost a very important business center, and it is because it is important, so many people want to compete for this extremely Important Harbor.

In the 5th century BC, the Greeks built Harbor here, and during the reign of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt, Ptolemy III renamed Benghazi to Billings in honor of its queen. Later, this important The Harbor was occupied by the Romans, the Vandals, the Byzantines, and the Arabs.

From the sixteenth century, the Turks ruled this Harbor for 6 years. Later, they were changed back to the original Benghazi name. During the Second World War in the afterlife, the 300 Armed Forces group launched a fierce contest in this area. After changing hands, he was finally occupied by the British.

Because it is a coastal town, Benghazi ’s status has not been very high. What really made it rise was the 20th century Middle-Stage in the later generations, which was driven by the development of the oil industry. After all, Libya has oil Yes, and Benghazi is an important Harbor exporting oil.

In the Great Tang era, Benghazi was just a Harbor, and its size was not large, its status was not very high, and the area extending inland did not find the extremely important resource of oil, so for Ottomans, here It is not particularly important, it can only be regarded as a Harbor that’s all in his territory.

The reason why Benghazi can make Li An feel familiar immediately is not so important here, but because the later generations of Benghazi belong to a country called Libya, and this country called Libya has a strong person called Ka Zafi is also a very crazy person. He once wanted to buy a powerful nuclear weapon from China Power, which was extremely arrogant.

Nuclear weapons are the most important weapon of the country. How can they be sold to others casually? This does not work anyway, but this guy named Gaddafi actually wants to buy nuclear weapons of the Chinese Empire. This is simply arrogant, even Huaxia ’s Taizu also said that this Gaddafi was too arrogant.

Gaddafi ’s arrogance and the production of Libyan oil have allowed Benghazi to gradually prosper. From a small town in Harbor, it has gradually become a trading center throughout Africa, and progress can not be ignored.

And what made Benghazi more famous is that with the fall of Gaddafi, all influence in Libya began to compete for Benghazi, which caused Benghazi to fall into a long-term war, and journalists from all countries rushed to Benghazi. To report on the war situation here, in this way, international news of various countries can naturally see a place called Benghazi, so it is difficult for Benghazi not to be famous.

After that, there was a more serious disturbance. The embassy base of the most powerful country in the next generation was attacked by militants hidden in Benghazi, resulting in a tragedy of multiple deaths. This tragedy was even filmed as a movie. Further increased Benghazi’s reputation.

As for the unrest in Libya, it was because the old Royal Family in this country opposed the tribal aristocracy, wealthy merchants, the government ’s consortium, resigned from government officials, and dissatisfied with the Libyan dictator Gaddafi. The most important Benghazi was the capital and launched a civil war.

Why these people oppose Gaddafi is naturally for their own interests, because their interests have been violated by Gaddafi, so they must rebel against this authoritarian ruler and thus safeguard their own interests.

However, they absolutely did not expect that their actions brought great losses to the entire country, and many old people in this country had to flee to the whole world and became children without a home. In addition, their resistance also made Many terrorists have an opportunity to make this country a hotbed for the development of terrorism. In short, since the opponents began to rebel, the entire Libya, including Benghazi, which is very familiar to the people of the whole world, has suffered huge Destruction, urban and rural areas are full of broken walls.

In other words, they shouted for the benefit of the old 100 surnames, to overthrow the dictator, but the end result was that all the old 100 surnames suffered.

There is a saying in the history of China that is very good. There is no war of justice during the Spring and Autumn Period. That is to say, all the wars during the Spring and Autumn Period were launched for their own benefit, and none was for the benefit of the people.

The Great Tang fleet did not panic, according to the pre-set route, step by step toward the Benghazi Harbor.

Due to the impact of tropical storms, rain soon began to surround, and of course Li An ’s boat ride was not spared. The rain soon fell, but because the distance from the storm center was a little farther, the rain had just begun. The rainfall is not big, but the wind is a bit that’s all, wind and rain are mixed together, it makes people feel very violent.

Li An stood on the deck, spread his arms and shouted, “Let the wind and rain come more violently! Haha!”

This behavior surprised everyone. However, Li An occasionally gets a little nervous, and everyone has been accustomed to it for a long time, and will not feel that this is a problem.

“The wind and rain are already very big. How much wind and rain does Minister Li need? Don’t go to the cabin to hide?”

Li Xiaolu covered his forehead with his palm and asked with a smile.

The wind is really strong, and all of Li Xiaolu’s hair is blown up. It doesn’t seem to have a sense of beauty. At least, in Li An’s view, it is really beautiful.

“Little Beauty, don’t you feel standing in the wind and rain, don’t you have a taste? Have you been in the rain?”

Li An asked with a smile.

“It’s raining, why do you have to rain it, and raining will get sick.”

Li Xiaolu was obviously reluctant to get in the rain and said.

“It’s okay, as long as you take a hot bath after the rain, it won’t be a problem. Let’s take a shower together! Let’s feel the smell of bathing nature.”

Li An suddenly have a thought, standing in the growing rain, and looking up to feel the baptism of the strong wind and heavy rain.

“On a rainy day, it seems to accompany you to go out in the rain, watching you hiding in my warm arms, smelling the fragrant body, clear arms, it feels so sweet, I love to breathe hard, I would like to pick it Every star in the sky, I would like to wipe away every teardrop on my face for you, as long as you can promise me, never leave me again, I will do anything for you, as long as you want, I want to take you The sky of World of Ice and Snow, I want to take you to the most passionate island of the world, as long as you can promise me to stay with me all my life, my world is beautiful because of you, no matter how many thorns pass on this road, I hope you know me Sincerely to you, no matter whether it is sad or happy at the end, I will always be here waiting for you without complaint or regret. “

Li An drenched the rain while holding Li Xiaolu in his arms, and then sang a song leisurely, which was also a good song that was often listened to in later generations. At least, Li An liked to listen to this song, and it was really nice , Is a soul song.

“What kind of songs does Minister Li sing, really good!”

Li Xiaolu asked enviously.

Li An opened the mouth and said with a smile: “This is a song in our hometown called picking stars, is it particularly nice.”

“Although I don’t understand, I feel very good and the tune is very beautiful.”

Li Xiaolu said very resolutely.
