: Extending your head and getting slaughtered

"Your Excellency, can you tell me the population of your Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Fubo, who had never been to the Song Dynasty, had any real impression of him. However, he once heard Martin say that if the "Yuanfeng Jiudi Zhi" records, the country's 1,6569,874 households shall be the norm, and the average household in the south shall be 7. Based on this calculation, the national population of the country during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty was about 110 million.

"Our Song Dynasty... Well, our Song Dynasty is a country with a vast territory and a rich population and rich resources. The population of the Song Dynasty is about 110 million..."

This is of course the result of Zhao Fubo and Martin's calculations, and it is also the reason why their master and apprentice believe that they would not return to the Song Dynasty without sufficient armed forces and sufficiently powerful weapons. From the well-known problem, if the Chinese were united, the world would have already been shaking in the footsteps of the Chinese.

Unfortunately, the lack of security caused by bureaucratic totalitarianism finally formed socially pathological, endless internal struggles, which consumed the power of the most important part of China. Instead, this made this great nation a nation that was vulnerable to invasion and bullying. If it was the iron law of the world before, then today with the addition of Martin and Zhao Fubo's disciples, the laws of the world must change.

However, when Louis IX heard the news, although the expression on his face might not be the case, he quietly sucked in.

In the Middle Ages, the world's population was 350 million, the Song Dynasty was 140 million, the Muslim world was 40 million, Europe was 50 million, India was 80 million, and the uncivilized areas were 40 million. During the Song Dynasty, China accounted for 40% of the world's population and accounted for 60% of the GDP. Compared with China at this time, other parts of the world were like a barbaric desert.

"Your Majesty, look at this is a valuable gift I brought from our Song Dynasty. There are not many gifts like this, only to some high-ranking nobles like you."

As he said that, Zhao Fubo took out a small metal box from his arms. With a "click", the box opened a small crack, and two bright lenses were erected there.

"What a valuable gift!"

When Louis IX got it and looked out from these small telescopes, he almost threw away the things in his hands, just like almost everyone who saw the telescope for the first time.

In fact, this kind of thing is already an extremely large number on the island of Ferai more than 1,000 kilometers away. Although it is called telescope for watching competitions, most of them were actually bought by the Mamluk cavalry and used as military supplies.

Naturally, such things are just toy-level products compared to the high-power telescopes used by Zhao Fubo.

"O my God, what... is this?"

As Louis IX said, he planned to touch the two bright lenses with his hands. Zhao Fubo, who was holding a cup on the side and was about to drink the French wine provided by Louis IX, quickly took off the glass.

"Uh, no, your majesty, don't touch those lenses. Because if you touch it, the lenses will become blurred. If you wipe it, you must use the softest and cleanest silk!"

Louis IX obediently put down his hands and did not touch the lens, but then put the telescope on his eyes. As the leader of a country, especially now in war, Louis IX soon thought of the military uses of these things.

"Your Mightiness……"

Zhao Fubo was fully feeling the feeling of what Teacher Martin said to him, "If you have super technology, you will get a hundred times respect." At the whole banquet, the toy telescopes that were taken out to give to people were conveyed by King Henry of Cyprus, the leaders of the two major knights, and many others.

Amidst the amazement, crosses were drawn one by one, but the telescope obviously had no "feeling" at all at all. But in the *** sected countries in the Middle World, this is an important means to identify the devil. Of course, for teachers and students, this is an ignorant act that can be used as an auxiliary.

"Haha, have you seen it? Although we Song people do not believe in God, we do not reject him. Moreover, he has no complaints about our products!"

Zhao Fubo held a silver-plated box of toy telescope glittering under a small steam light, pointing at the cross-shaped sign above it under the light.

"I think you have seen it too, your Majesty, the Grand Commander and other noble nobles. All of us have been blessed by the pastor."

Louis IX looked at the bright car lights, telescopes and other debris brought by Zhao Fubo at this time, and had forgotten the explanation he gave to his brother. Everyone at the whole banquet was also constantly amazed by these novel products.

Gong Zi and Juliana became salesmen for female products. Noble women who came to attend banquets were taken to other rooms by them to "experiment" the things used by women. After all, "sanitary napkins" are definitely a qualitative leap and a progress in civilization compared to toilet paper in the past.

Especially these noble women's wallets are always very bulging, unless they are not loved by their husbands. Otherwise, how can those jewelry made of crystal glass be sold at a high price?

I believe you all understand why Gong Zi had to make such a big noise when he came to redeem Carlos. Why did Zhao Fubo spend so much effort to duel with Count Artuva and, under the persuasion of Louis IX, terminate the duel.

As Juliana and Gong Zi and the uncontrollable noble women returned, Zhao Fubo also made a huge deal with Louis IX.

"Of course, your majesty, you know that this little thing has huge combat in military affairs, especially when commanding wars. So I'm afraid that even if we can transport some, the price is often not something that ordinary troops can easily bear!"

At this time, Louis IX quietly glanced at the nobles around him, and the people holding the telescopes that Zhao Fubo gave them, all of them were wandering around Zhao Fubo. This made King Louis IX feel even more that he must win over Zhao Fubo. Not to mention the girl with a veil on her face and long golden hair next to Zhao Fubo.

Juliana can be said to be the one who covers the tightest in such an occasion. This is really not very consistent with her European girl's identity. Even in such an occasion, she dresses as tight as a nun. If the turban and veil are not all made of veil, then others would have looked at her like that.

This is a problem, a problem that has gradually attracted the attention of others. But it is not serious enough. At least Zhao Fubo's attention at this time was still all focused on the transaction with Louis IX, and he did not pay too much attention to the changes in his fiancée.

"Your Excellency, if possible, can I ask? Your status in the Song Dynasty royal family is..."

Zhao Fubo laughed in his heart. This was not a single mistake with their analysis of the former palace Zi. The reason why Louis IX made friends with him was that what he had just brought out definitely represents huge commercial interests and military value. Then making friends with him would give France more advantages over other countries.

"Of course, your Majesty, I am just one of the many princes in the Song Dynasty. There are many elder brothers above me. You know, my father has 3,000 concubines in the palace of our Song Dynasty, so I have many brothers and sisters, and I..."

When talking about this, Zhao Fubo sighed intentionally and gently according to Gong Zi's instructions. He seemed unwilling to mention the inner palace of the Song Dynasty, the most complex top palace fighting in the world.

Louis IX sighed with Zhao Fubo with sympathy and understanding, but then he put forward more ideas.

"Your Highness, although I don't know what your Emperor of the Song Dynasty thinks. But in my personal opinion, he sent you to the distant West must be due to trust and respect for you, otherwise why wouldn't it be someone else?

Of course, I don’t think these things will affect your friendship with me. To be honest, you are the most outstanding prince I have seen in recent years!”

Zhao Fubo stopped talking about this, but looked around and quietly had a whispering conversation with Louis IX.

"Your Majesty, I have to say that you are also the most wise monarch I have ever met with. I have something I want to talk to you here, you see..."

Louis IX was definitely not a stupid person. Zhao Fubo was able to talk to him like this. Of course, it was because he was the king of France, and before they came, they must have inquired about France's status in Europe. He immediately happily said that he would be interested in what Zhao Fubo mentioned.

"Of course, Your Highness, please tell me if you have any ideas. As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Zhao Fubo really has nothing to choose from. Gong Zi is worthy of being a fighter in the mall. And Martin is worthy of being a "god metaphor". Zhao Fubo himself did not expect that a toy telescope could bring such surprise and super profits.

"Your Majesty, that's it. I just arrived at Port Aden before I met Sophia. It's a pity that they don't understand the importance of these things. Giving me the price of the ship's products is simply not something that anyone who understands it!"

"Oh, why is this? Do Arabs also know about manufacturing technology?"

Zhao Fubo looked at Louis IX's mysterious smile anxiously to know the details.

"No, Your Majesty, I can be sure of this thing. No one in the world can create it except our Song Dynasty. The reason why Arabs are unwilling to pay is that they feel that the function of this kind of gadget may not be as great as I said. So Your Majesty, I think for those who do not have vision..."

Zhao Fubo just shook his head, thinking about another thing in his heart.

"How much blood should I release to those who are slaughtered with their necks?"
