A large order of 50,000 people requires Huaxia Island to produce it for a long time. Through this order, Zhao Fubo has already learned all the ideas of Louis IX.

He was unwilling to participate in the struggle between the European royal family and the Holy Church, just like the Crusades in Egypt, which led the French army as the main force. Although there were legends of various reasons for the Eastern Expedition, France could not participate in the battle between Pope Innocent IV and the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II.

Secondly, he did not want to fight too much war in the land of France. If it could be avoided, then he would be willing. Although he would be far behind the Holy Roman Empire due to the order of supply, he would be far behind the Holy Roman Empire, and even far behind the subordinates of Conrad IV and the army of the Arab Empire. But this also allowed him to avoid the possible war that would cause when the new weapon system first appeared in Europe.

Finally, it is stated that he is not worried about France's near-term safety. France is in the corner of the European continent. Although it is large enough and borders many countries, it is destined to be unable to avoid the danger of war. However, his original military strength is enough for France's security. Ordering equipment of 50,000 people at one go can only explain one thing: in the future, he will demobilize the existing army and rebuild an army that is completely dominated by firearms.

With such a long-term plan, if it were not for thinking immediately after Damietta, and immediately reasoning and predicting the development of various European forces and the situation like playing chess, it would be certain that Louis IX would not have solved the problem in front of him so easily.

While he reached out to take the agreement and checked it out and signed it, Zhao Fubo quietly admired it in his heart.

"If you talk about long-term vision and accurate calculations, I am afraid that my French father-in-law is the one with the longest vision among all of you. Maybe what he does now may not be understood, but when things happen, people often suddenly realize it. This - it is called a master, I have to study hard with him to achieve it!"

With this idea, Zhao Fubo quickly signed the order. Then he threw out a question to Louis IX, just that someone with a long-term vision like him would think about. Of course, Zhao Fubo would not raise European problems. Those things were too sensitive, and what he threw out was future problems. Zhao Fubo asked Sophia to bring a map of the future Chinese Empire to Louis IX. This map surprised Louis IX, and at the same time, I believe that readers will be surprised if they know it.

This map is quite large, including the entire Kamchatka Peninsula and most of the Siberian region. Of course, it will also include the Alaska region in North America in the future, but the Americas are still beyond what Europeans know about it, so Zhao Fubo does not need to tell them.

"Your Majesty, look at these barbarians. They are around the Chinese Empire. As for us, we are willing to trade with them and enjoy life peacefully. Unfortunately, these nomads always covet our wealth, so they often come to plunder us. This will cause a problem. If we attack them, our Chinese Empire will cost a lot of money, but if we don't attack them, they will always come to cause trouble, which is really a headache!"

Louis IX looked at Zhao Fubo with a smile, knowing that he was asking for advice from him, and at the same time, he also used this method to tell himself that his thoughts could not be hidden much from him. This is also good, after all, dealing with smart people is much better than dealing with fools.

"Well, I know these Mongolians, and I have also thought about why they kept robbing. In fact, this is also the inevitable choice of most nomadic peoples. Do you know why they do this?"

Zhao Fubo's grasp of the entire situation is of course not as good as Louis IX, a veteran who has been in European politics for many years. And it can be guaranteed that Louis IX and Chinese traditional Chinese strategists such as Wang Wentong are definitely different, and his analysis will also be more of a European society.

Regarding Mongolia and the teacher Martin said that Zhao Fubo naturally had to deal with some nations with "bad intentions". But the problem is that for this nation like weeds, relying on "wildfire" alone is not enough. What Zhao Fubo is thinking is to solve the problem permanently. At this moment, he has modern knowledge, but he has no experience in political games. This is not just something that can be easily obtained by relying on weapons and technology.

"They... they are greedy for our wealth, greedy for..."

Hearing that Zhao Fubo was unsure, Louis IX smiled and lit his pipe, thinking that such thoughts might be performed as an interesting intellectual game on the voyage.

"Well, maybe that's the case. So you have thought about why they would be greedy for your things without them, and why would they use war to obtain them? So, why don't you greedy for other people's things in your Chinese Empire?"

Louis IX is obviously very concerned about educating children. Although Zhao Fubo is equal to him in his status, as the husband of Louis IX's favorite daughter, Louis IX will certainly regard him as a child in such a time.

He knew very well that the Chinese Empire did not care about Europe's territory, nor did it care about Europe's status, and even Europe's money. Zhao Fubo's performance along the way only showed one problem: he cared about people, scholars, craftsmen, beauties, and as for money, there were naturally kings who like firearms and fresh goods, and they gave him a lot from his wallet. Although he came to Europe to engage in a "trade war", in general, except for passing trade routes and ensuring the stability of trade routes, his only focus was on the final agreement with the Holy See. Apart from this, it can be said that he did not see anything else in Europe.

"We don't covet other people's things because..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Fubo stopped his words, and suddenly he seemed to have a secret. Why did Mongolia, the Qing Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty all covet the wealth of China? Because they did not, they did not know how to manufacture, they could only grazle but had no ability to produce. The commodity exchange that followed must be industrial products produced by the Chinese, and exchanged their livestock. Because the price difference between agricultural and animal husbandry products and industrial commodities was different, they would become poorer and poorer by relying on the original agriculture and animal husbandry, and eventually they had to rob.

The damage caused by the price difference between industrial products and agricultural and animal husbandry products is like a sharp sword that always hangs above the heads of nomadic peoples. If it is allowed to develop, the nomadic peoples will eventually have to die.
