    ??

    There was a lot of discussion in the huge palace.

    Originally, everyone supported Kansu II¡¯s intention and felt that the Ming Dynasty¡¯s treaty was quite good. They also felt that once the canal was excavated, it would be of great benefit to Egypt.

    But after Duer¡¯s analysis, everyone suddenly felt that the Ming people had bad intentions and wanted to take the opportunity to occupy Egypt, and they began to oppose it.

    Tong Yuan looked at the people in the hall. He couldn't understand what was going on because he couldn't hear Arabic. However, soon, a translator translated Duer's words to Tong Yuan.

    "My Ming Dynasty is plotting Egypt?"

    "They think too highly of themselves. Do we, the Ming Dynasty, need to plot something?"

    "If you really think it's necessary, just send troops and occupy it. There's no need for a plot."

    Hearing what the translator said, Tong Yuan was almost furious.

    These Egyptians are really shameless. You must know that many people in the Ming Dynasty have spoken out about sending troops to occupy Egypt directly, and then use these Egyptians as slaves. If the canal is built in this way, the cost can be very small, and the rights to the canal still belong to them.  The Ming Dynasty did not need to be so halved with Egypt.

    It¡¯s just because the top management of Ming Dynasty feels that the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Egypt is still very good. There is no need for this. We still need some friends.

    Therefore, such an agreement is made. Ming Dynasty will provide money, technology, and people to build the canal. Egypt only needs to provide some necessary support. After the canal is built, the benefits will be half.

    To be honest, there are not many good things like this in the world.

    But now these Egyptians actually feel that the Ming Dynasty is full of malice and want to take this opportunity to annex their Egypt.

    Do you think you are angry?

    "Your Majesty, because the people of Ming Dynasty have a big plan, they invested 20 million silver. This is not a small number, it is an astronomical figure. With such a huge wealth, they only want half of the ownership of the canal?"

    A nobleman stood up and continued.

    "No, no, twenty million taels of silver is a huge amount for us, but it is nothing to the Ming Empire. Their annual tax revenue exceeds hundreds of millions of taels of silver."

    "It's just thirty million taels of silver, it's nothing."

    "The Ming Dynasty has a huge territory, with colonies and vassal states everywhere. If they really want to plot against us in Egypt, they don't need to bother so much and can just send troops."

    Soon afterwards, ministers who supported Kansu II came forward to express their opposition.

    "We in Egypt are not that easy to bully, so they can't even imagine what they want when they send troops?"

    "How do you think we are better than the Ottoman Empire?"

    ¡°Even the Ottoman Empire is not a match for the Ming Empire, let alone us.¡±

    ¡°If they really wanted to occupy Egypt, they could have easily done so long ago.¡±

    ¡°Then why did they spend so much money digging the canal?¡±

    "That's because we have a very friendly relationship between Egypt and the Ming Empire. The Ming Empire has always been very good to its friends."

    "I object. There will be no pie in the sky. The Ming people definitely want to annex us."

    ¡°Why can¡¯t we build the canal ourselves?¡±

    "As long as we recruit enough labor, we can build the canal on our own. There is no need to cooperate with the Ming people and bring us hidden dangers."

    "Are you sure we can build the canal on our own?"

    "Do we have enough money? Enough food? Or can we let those lowly farmers dig canals?"

    There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the two sides were quarreling with red faces.

    Kansu II¡¯s face was extremely ugly, while Duer was smiling.

    "His Majesty the King of Egypt~"

    When everyone was arguing, Tong Yuan stood up and shouted very loudly.

    His voice was very loud, covering all the sounds at once, and also made everyone focus on him.

    "Your Excellency, Ambassador, please tell me something."

    Kansu II looked at Tong Yuan and saw that Tong Yuan's face was not good-looking, and he understood in his heart.

    Anyone like this will be angry. The Ming Empire has clearly discussed doing business with you. If you insist on judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, the other party will definitely be very angry.

    "Our Ming Empire is a huge country, covering all parts of the world, with 150 million subjects, and the tax collected every year exceeds 100 million taels of silver."

      "The Ming Empire and Egypt have a profound friendship. We are each other's most sincere friends. We should not doubt our friends' sincerity and friendship!"

    "As for cooperating with the Ming Empire to dig the canal, everything is in accordance with the agreement. I wonder if you have any other opinions?"

    When Kansu II saw this, he immediately seized the opportunity and asked the ministers very formally.

    "I have no objection~"

    The first person to answer was naturally the people of Kansu II, and then the die-hards headed by Durr looked at each other, and in the end they could only express in unison that they had no objections.

    ¡°In this matter, if the commotion continues like this and the people of Ming Dynasty are upset, everyone will really not get any benefits. If they really wait until the Ming army comes to kill them, they will lose everything.

    "Since everyone has no objections, the matter will be passed."

    ¡°We in Egypt officially cooperate with the Ming Empire to dig the Egyptian canal!¡±

    Seeing that everyone had no objections, Kansu II stood up and said very domineeringly.

    To be honest, he has never felt as comfortable as he did today. He finally took the lead in completing something he wanted to do. In the past, he would have been opposed by Duer and others, and nothing could be done.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
