In fact, Heraberi was also a little worried. This time the Koprulu family made a desperate bet, and Cheng Ze secretly controlled a country. Needless to say, it was better to be able to escape the East Coast with the foundation of the first wealthy family for decades.

Of course, there is another thing deep in Herabery that scares him the most and is least willing to say to outsiders, that is, even if he succeeds, how many years can he live? There are not many powerful ministers in the history of the empire. Not to mention the distant past, decades ago, who dared to provoke those powerful eunuchs in China? As strong as the East Coast people, they have to constantly bribe them to do business with peace of mind. But what is the result? But for several years, the eunuchs Aga and the others have not even escaped, they are all killed, and their amazing wealth is divided by the Sultan and the guards.

This is the end! The powerful ministers in history may be able to suppress the Ottoman family for a while, but in the long run, they have been dealt with one by one. The Ottoman family is still the Sultan. The Koprulu family can really break out of this vicious circle? Herabery dare not think so.

But now there is nothing to do. Although the Sultan ignored political affairs, he had already shown hostility towards the first wealthy family. This may be the Sultan's imperial mindset at work, or the bewitching of the old charlatan Aifendi, but no matter what the reason is, the result is the same: people have to take action!

There are not many talents in the Koprulu family. Really, otherwise they would not have let their son-in-law Herabery come out to represent the interests of the family. The talent gap and external crisis, this wealthy family is really in a turmoil. No wonder they are plotting a mutiny. To put it bluntly, they can save themselves, otherwise such a large family would become fat in other people's bowls.

Wu Yifei had read the materials written by the intelligence department before, and had a deeper understanding of the situation in the Ottoman Empire and the crisis faced by the Koprulu family. In fact, he still appreciated Herabery's courageous plan, and at the same time, he even appreciated the Koprulu family's deposit of four million yuan in the East Coast Agricultural Bank of Haji County. If he immigrated to the East Coast, he would not have to make up the richest man. He thought it was a bit funny, just as funny as Mexico in the third world produced the richest man in the world.

It should be said that the Koprulu family was lucky. At present, the energy of the Ottoman Empire was greatly involved in Hungary. More than 100,000 troops were fighting fiercely with the German coalition led by the Austrians. The Poles also sent thousands of reinforcements. Isn't it magical? The country is in chaos and facing foreign invasion. The nobles in the south actually led troops to help Austria fight, regardless of the life or death of their own people. This is really difficult to understand.

Vizi Aifendi is currently on the front line, and the Sultan himself lives in the royal village of Edirne for many years to hunt, with prey including various wild animals and women. This state has indeed objectively reduced the pressure faced by the Koplulu family. Although the enemy is cutting off their family's wings, so that officials or generals who tend to step down often have their families' officials or generals, their speed is incomparable to the past. Of course, the Koplulu family will not miss such a good opportunity. In the past year, they have secretly contacted many senior officials and generals to conspire against Sultan and Aifendi.

It has to be said that it is indeed a wealthy family with a deep foundation, which is very reliable when doing such things. The news is limited to a very small number of people who participated, unlike some people who rebel and street vendors who know it. In addition, their family has a huge influence among intellectuals and businessmen. If they send people to incite, it will be a spark of fire and a mass base. Although most of the people are blind, fanatical, and do not increase their memory. They like to turn against each other, they can now use it.

The only problem is that the factors of foreign interference are within an uncontrollable range and need to be solved urgently. To put it bluntly, there are only one who can profoundly affect the internal affairs of the Ottoman Empire. Yes, right, that's right, you, the East Coast native!

Many large-scale projects of the Ottoman Empire were designed by the East Coast people, and the actual construction of the supervision was the Turks themselves. Well, no wonder Turkey was also a big player in the international construction market in the future. Many officials of the Ottoman Empire were trained by the East Coast. More than half of the weapons of the Ottoman team were supplied by the East Coast. The Ottoman Empire owed a lot of debts to the East Coast...

Sometimes, Herabury was shocked. He even doubted that among his most trusted generals or officials, were there East Coast spies? His personal servant Trudeau likes East Coast books and culture very much. Is this a double-faced person?

Therefore, the East Coast people may not have enough ability to launch a coup in the Ottoman Empire, but they are definitely able to destroy a coup. After all, Putin can also notify Erdogan that someone wants to rebel, which makes him save his life and play. After all, the East Coast people have many channels to pass the news to Sudan and Aifendi, and they can also secretly influence the choice of a group of people. This is very fatal, so their support must be obtained in advance.

What is gratifying is that the East Coast people are very unhappy with the religious madman Aifendi and have always wanted to change the Ottoman Empire to another steward. Unfortunately, the Sultan trusts the charlatan very much, and even the "pillar of the country" Koplulu family had to alienate and suppress it, so there was nothing we could do. Therefore, you see how the two sides hit it off after Herabury secretly took the line from the East Coast people and revealed their plans.

However, no matter how support is, the benefits that should be obtained will definitely not be missing. For this reason, Wu Yifei and Herabery had a secret talk in Georgia for five days before finally reaching an agreement. The requirements put forward by the East Coast people cover political reform, financial opening up, commercial cooperation, military exchanges and other aspects, many of which touched the deep-seated things. Herabery was shocked when he saw it. After his last bargaining, he bargained and agreed.

Political reform mainly required them to establish a modern political system, and importantly use officials from studying in the East Coast. The current Ottoman Empire system can be said to be a strange mixture. In cities with prosperous coastal commerce, such as Istanbul, Smyrna, Athens, Thessalonika, etc., they established many government agencies that imitated Western Europe and the East Coast. The political system is relatively modern, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a modern political system. Then in hinterland cities with a large population, it is a standard feudal system. The men in the places such as Sheikh and Bayi control the countryside, Pasha and the governor control the cities, and the two sides govern together. It is a bit like the ruling model of ancient Chinese dynasties. In fact, any centralized dynasty is basically this routine.

In the west and north, a large number of fiefs lords ruled the local area. The Ottoman central government dispatched officials and troops in core cities or strategic locations, but did not participate in too many affairs and basically did not care about anything except collecting tribute. This is actually the ruling model of the kings and vassals in Europe in the Middle Ages. The Ottoman Sultans went further than those kings and could station their troops on their fiefs.

In the central and eastern Anatolian Plateau and the Arabian Peninsula, it was still a tribal era of ignorance. The Ottoman rule was limited to large cities like Baghdad. The nomads in the desert had no fixed place to live, and often did not pay taxes, and they resisted the central rule from time to time. The Turks (Kurds) in the mountains were also very different, ignorant and barbaric, without the concept of state and ethnicity, only the concept of tribalism.

It is really not easy for the Ottomans to repair such a complex and huge country to this day. Religious disputes, ethnic discrimination, tribal vendetta, imbalance in regional development, and unequal political rights. Oh, why hasn't the Ottoman Empire exploded yet?

People in the East Coast do not expect political reforms across the Ottoman Empire. That is unrealistic and troubles are likely to occur. Their idea is to carry out reforms in coastal cities of the economically developed White Sea (Aegean Sea), eliminating mediocre old officials, establishing new institutions, improving governance efficiency, and increasing government revenue (this is very important). New government agencies naturally require a large number of new officials. Where do they come from? If they answer correctly, the East Coast was naturally trained. For this reason, the East Coast government is willing to open a crash training class for the Ottoman Empire, and those with outstanding learning also have generous scholarships to get.

Financial opening is to acquire traditional Ottoman banks and carry them forward. Those financial institutions have long been tortured by the imperial government because of war, and many have even closed down. It is not a bad thing for the East Coast people to take over. Ottoman merchants can get a sale fee, these financial institutions can also bring about a resurrection, and depositors can save more or less part of the funds, win more, and be better!

In addition, because the Green Church doctrine does not allow money to be made on interest, the Ottoman Empire needed to give special exemptions to the East-funded financial institutions so that they could provide financial services throughout the Ottoman territory and contribute to the economic development of the Ottoman Empire.

The scope of commercial cooperation is even broader, including lowering tariffs, franchising rights, etc. In short, the central idea is to expand the market share of East Coast commodities in the Ottoman Empire (the proportion of Suri'an's share is already large), and to vigorously exclude goods from Western European countries.

The Ottoman Empire shall not impose quota restrictions on East Coast goods because of the need to protect domestic handicrafts and other reasons, nor shall it impose all kinds of messy fees on East Coast companies or merchants. To ensure this situation, the Ottoman Empire needs to establish a special arbitration institution to do its best to maintain a good business order. If the arbitration institution makes a judgment against the East Coast companies, the East Coast government has the right to punish, including but not limited to suspending loans, etc., and the Ottoman government shall not engage in any retaliation.

Cooperation in the military field is similar to official training, and it has been implemented in the Ottoman army for many years. This group of people is commonly known as the "Study abroad department". Like the officers from the Ghanishari Legion and Spassi Legion, it is a faction in the army, but its strength is still relatively weak at present, and it is limited to middle and low-level officers, so it cannot be formed.

In the future, the Ottoman Empire needs to send more young officers and even young children to the East Coast to study military affairs, and the quota should be expanded to three times the original. The East Coast government promises not to charge any fees and give them full scholarships to create the best environment for them to learn, so as to reimburse typos, cross them out, and serve the motherland in the future.

Of course, Wu Yifei once suggested that Herabury form a new army after success and send his officers to the East Coast to study in batches, which would greatly consolidate his power. After all, the warlords who currently support him have their own plans. They are allies now, and will they still be ally when fighting for power in the future? It is hard to say. However, Herabury kept shirking about this matter, and obviously he was unwilling to hand over military power to others. This is the instinct of the warlords, and Wu Yifei could understand it.

There are many other conditions, but they are not painful or itchy, and there is not much controversy. Only these four major lines, Herabery's forehead was exposed, and his hands were trembling when he signed a secret contract. But there was no way, he had already boarded the pirate ship, and it was too late to think about it, so he could only walk one way to the black.

I just hope that my own struggle will succeed. The secret agreement signed with the East Coast people will not let too many people know about it in a short period of time, and I will find a way to bargain slowly in the future.
