"That's good. If you need any help, please just ask. Although we in Egypt are not as good as your Ming Empire, we will do our best as long as we can. After all, after the canal is opened, we in Egypt can also lay down and harvest. Money."
Kansu II was very polite to Tong Yuan in front of him.
In the past few years, he has been in constant contact with Tong Yuan. Even after learning the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty, he often came over to talk with Tong Yuan about the classics and Taoism, and discussed the history of China and Tang poetry and Song poetry.
" Tong Yuan was a serious Jinshi, so his knowledge was certainly not bad. In addition, he was Liu Jin's student. Under his influence, his views on many things were far beyond those of most people of this era.
Every time he talks to Tong Yuan, Kansu II can benefit a lot. He even often asks Tong Yuan for advice on many matters dealing with Egypt's internal government affairs.
Therefore, I respect Tong Yuan very much. This respect comes from Tong Yuan's own knowledge and ability. Of course, as an official of the Ming Empire, with the support of the powerful Ming Empire, Kansu II also has to respect him.
"If necessary, I will definitely speak to His Majesty the King."
Tong Yuan smiled and replied.
When it comes to building the canal, Egypt has indeed provided a lot of help. Of course, this is also very needed for them. They need the big project of the Egyptian Canal to alleviate their internal conflicts.
After the canal is built, it is also necessary to take charge of this vital canal channel to obtain a lot of benefits.
Once the Egyptian canal is completed, it will not only be as simple as collecting navigation fees. Egypt will become the most important trade hub and transportation center in Europe, Asia and Africa, and the benefits it can bring are beyond imagination.

Kansu II smiled and then asked again.
"Yes, the importance of the Egyptian Canal is self-evident. There are many people who are optimistic about this canal, and there are many people who are willing to invest. The stock has been rising since its issuance, and now it has risen to more than two hundred taels of silver per share. ¡±
Tong Yuan nodded and replied.
"It's more than two hundred taels of silver per share. Half of your canal rights in the Ming Dynasty are now worth two billion taels of silver. It's incredible. What a huge fortune this is. Is it really worth that much money?"
¡°I even want to sell our half of Egypt!¡±
Kansu II sighed while shaking his head.
"Haha, the stock market is all virtual wealth. It goes up and down. If you really sell it, you won't be able to sell it for so much money. Of course, there is no denying the value of this canal. After it is opened, it can be used all over the world. For those who have been sitting around collecting money for generations, it would be good to invest in some stocks and keep them to pass on to future generations.¡±
Tong Yuan smiled. To be honest, he was shocked when he saw this report.
The stock market value of this Egyptian canal has reached two billion taels of silver. Whether the entire Ming Dynasty can find two billion taels of silver is a question mark. This small canal is worth two billion, which is incredible.
"Master Tong, I came here this time to ask if you, Ming Dynasty, can buy me a batch of arms and weapons?"
After some small talk, Kansu II finally revealed his purpose.
Inspecting the canal is just a routine matter, the real purpose is for arms and weapons,
The Mamluk dynasty of Egypt was already in decline. Historically, it was destroyed by Selom I of the Ottoman Empire a few years later.
Si minus 75zw.c om Si. This is partly because of the strength of the Ottoman Empire, but more importantly because of the many internal conflicts within the Egyptian Mamluk Kingdom.
The feudal military nobles wantonly annexed and expanded land, and a large number of farmers lost the cultivated land they relied on for their livelihood, causing intense turmoil in the entire dynasty, just like the late Ming Dynasty in history, with internal and external troubles.
It is because of the construction of the Egyptian canal that the Mamluk Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily stabilized the current situation. However, the canal will be repaired in more than a year.
When the time comes, there will be hundreds of thousands of landless farmers in front of us. They have no land and no jobs. How will you let them live?
The situation will return to what it was before, and the entire dynasty will face destruction.
Kansu II knew this clearly,p; The sale of arms and weapons is a big deal, often involving millions of taels of silver, with extremely high profits.
Over the years, Ming¡¯s foreign arms sales have never been heard of. Huge profits can be obtained from them every year. It also supports a large number of arms companies and workers and sells off all the arms and weapons that have been eliminated by the Ming army.
If Egypt wants to buy weapons, there is no reason not to sell them. Even the Ottoman Empire has sold them, and Egypt is not the only one.
This Kansu II is now very young and ambitious. He has weapons and has built a powerful army. He will definitely have to struggle a lot.
At that time, whether it is competing with the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire for the Mesopotamia and the Arabian Peninsula, or competing with the Europeans for North Africa, or expanding to the south of Sudan, everything will be possible, and things will happen.
As long as something happens, Ming Dynasty can sell arms to both sides and make endless money.
Mi He Mi. "Haha, that's great."
"I'm worried that your country is unwilling to sell it to me. I know that your teacher is very influential in Ming Dynasty, so I want to ask you for help."
When Kansu II heard this, he immediately laughed happily. Looking at the lively construction site in front of him, and then at the migrant workers, it seemed as if he saw a strong army of hundreds of thousands
