Ye Chunqiu nodded at Ibrahim Pasha with a smile, and then sat down calmly.e┡  Δ1

When I learned of the other party's identity, Ibrahim Pasha was unexpected because Ye Chunqiu was too young and when he first met, he was elegant and calm, and did not act like a child because of his identity.

At first he thought the other party was just an ordinary official, but when the other party's translation introduced Ye Chunqiu's identity, Ibrahim Pasha was surprised and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Ye Chunqiu still smiled and asked him to sit down, and said, "There is not too much red tape here. It must be very hard for the envoy to come from afar. I have heard of the great name of the Ottoman Kingdom for a long time and I am glad that your king has expressed such kindness, so I have always waited for the envoy to come here as soon as possible."

Ibrahim Pasha was so enthusiastic that she couldn't be happy.

The other party didn't care about etiquette, but it didn't matter. He was just now worried about the future situation. Ottoman always regarded himself very well. Since the destruction of the Eastern Roman Empire, he has always regarded his country as the king of kings. But now when he saw this rising out of thin air, Ibrahim Pasha felt a huge threat.

Ibrahim Pasha naturally did not forget his identity when he came here. He smiled and replied: "I have sent a gift to His Highness on behalf of the Sultan."

Then, Ibrahim Pasha took out a dagger with a gem inlaid and handed over it.

Ye Chunqiu took it and pulled out the dagger, but saw the cold air brought by the refined steel blade, and couldn't help but say, "It's indeed a treasure."

Ibrahim Pasha felt a little ashamed. This was a short knife made of Damascus steel. In their country, it was naturally an extremely precious treasure. The Sultan asked himself to bring it here, which showed the sincerity of the Ottoman Empire.

But now, although Ye Chunqiu praised this short knife, Ibrahim Pasha knew that the other party was just polite. In other people's eyes, this short knife might be the gems embedded on it worth some money, and as for the short knife itself, it might be nothing more than Err.

But after all, Ibrahim Pasha's inner thoughts were not written on his face, but said: "In Istanbul, we received the enthusiastic invitation from His Highness. Does His Highness seem to be interested in fighting Persia, right?"

Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Don't you think the nobles?"

Ibrahim Pasha said: "The Persians have always been cunning. The Sultan hates them very much and has long wanted to attack Persia. But His Highness, Persia has always been the old Ottoman territory, but it was just usurped by some hateful people. Therefore, the Sultan means that he hopes to recover the Sultan."

Ye Chunqiu immediately understood what the other party meant!

Of course, the Ottomans could unite with Lu, but once Persia was taken down, there would be nothing wrong with Lu. This is someone else's old land, how could it be given to you?

This abacus is really crisp enough.

Ye Chunqiu smiled slightly. He didn't think Ibrahim Pasha was rude because he knew very well that such things were asking for a lot of money and paying them back.

Ye Chunqiu actually did not value the gains and losses of a piece of land. He wanted to fight against Persia, to some extent, just to facilitate the Tatar cavalry to take over the Kazakh Khanate. Persian territory is not urgently needed by Ye Chunqiu. What he needs now is to quickly digest the territory he occupied and build the railway. Only by building the railway and building the railway to the border between Persia and the Ottoman Empire is the top priority.

Ye Chunqiu said generously: "There is no problem with this. I can promise that your country will get the old land of Persia."

Obviously, he agreed easily, but Ibrahim Pasha's face changed slightly.

Naturally, he didn't think that as a king, the other party would repent at will.

However, the other party was not concerned about the gains and losses of the old Persian land, which made Ibrahim Pasha even more worried.

Ibrahim Pasha is not a fool. He has far-reaching political vision. When Ye Chunqiu agreed so lightly, it made Ibrahim Pasha's heart have an idea that he cannot ignore.

Only the strong will not care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. Since the other party has been expanding westward, he can abandon the old land of Persia at will, which means that the other party may have greater ambitions.

Ibrahim Pasha decided not to talk about this issue for the time being, but smiled, then watched Ye Chunqiu take a sip of tea, and then took a sip of the tea as he did, and said, "When I came, I took your iron cart, which is impressive. I dare to ask Your Highness, how much steel does this iron cart and rails require?"

When Ye Chunqiu saw that the other party had changed the topic, he couldn't help but think, he changed the topic by giving them a cheap price? It seems that he had a taboo in his heart.

But he just smiled and said, "How could I know the specific number when it comes to this? But if it is roughly estimated, it may take millions of tons."

Ibrahim Pasha was shocked by it.

Millions of tons, what does this mean? Although the units of measurement are different, the general translation still calculated for a long time when translating, and as for the number of this number, it doesn't make much sense to Ibrahim Pasha, because no matter what, it is an astronomical number to him.

"Where do these steels come from?" Ibrahim Pasha couldn't help asking again.

Ye Chunqiu said: "Where can steel come from, it is naturally trained."

Ibrahim Pasha was still full of questions. Of course, steel was trained. What he actually wanted to ask was how Lu State made so much steel.

You should know that due to the years of war in the Ottoman Empire, it has always attached great importance to the forging of steel. There are many blacksmith shops in Istanbul and some official workshops are responsible for these things, but the steel refined every year is only tens of millions of kilograms.

His unit is kilograms, tens of millions of kilograms, which is already a huge number for the Ottomans, but the other party directly calculates it in tons, which is a thousand times the gap. In other words, the steel used in this railway requires the Ottoman Empire to consume hundreds of years of steel production.
