The great era is coming.

But for the Truchens, it is enough to be prepared in this situation. There is no best time yet.

Yousuf Judd, a native of Alan, grew up in Truchen schools at all levels, and then graduated from the intelligence major of Elista Military Academy.

After making great contributions in the battle of Odessa to defeat Rome, he immediately rose to the rank of major.

At the age of twenty-eight, she looks no different from the Ottoman Turks today, and she can speak fluent Istanbul dialect.

After getting the Prince of Zahatai, he asked him to find out who made the Ottomans suddenly become powerful, a Saiyin ship put it on an island in the Aegean Sea that was still controlled by the Ottomans, and he secretly stole it.

Going ashore.

This island produces tin mines that are rare in the entire Aegean region. Therefore, although the island is small, it has become an island that the Ottomans must control. There are a thousand regular troops stationed on the island and the castle is also very sturdy.

Of course, it is not difficult for the Truchens to take them down, but there are so many islands in the Aegean Sea. It is a taboo to dispose of soldiers everywhere. Having a Limnos island is enough.

It was obviously not arbitrary arrangement for the Intelligence Agency to place it on the island.

Because of the existence of tin mines and the large population on the island, this place has become a place where merchant ships gather.

Although the empire's Great Vizier Rajp was lost due to the last war defeat, the Kopruli family did not lose power, and the Jewish master Petraeus family, who had been following the family, remained in the empire.

Do things.

Since the Thanos family turned against each other, the Ottomans naturally had much stricter control over the Jews, but the Ottoman Empire was an old empire after all, and everything that happened in such an empire would exist, just like the late Ming Dynasty.

After the Truchen fleet left the Aegean Sea and arrived in Egypt, trade in the Aegean Sea returned to normal again. A merchant ship with the Ottoman Sultan's concession flag entered the island. The owner of the merchant ship belonged to an Islamic merchant in name,

But the power behind it is Petraeus.

The purpose of this merchant ship is to transport the food from Istanbul here, and then transport the tin ingots, olive oil, cut marble, wine, etc. produced there to Istanbul. Of course, the most critical material is tin ingots, that is

The necessary supplies for the imperial official smelting of bronze cannons.

Ottoman officials will naturally not pay freight to merchants, but there are also some flexibility, because every merchant ship entering Istanbul needs to pay commercial tax. Since you transport materials to the government, you do not need to pay commercial tax, and you can also get water diversion personnel.

Priority guidance.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire obviously did not have the ability to set up regular flights between the islands. People on the island could only take merchant ships if they wanted to travel everywhere. They needed to pay the ship fee to the ship owner, which was also a disguised income.

Judd is of medium figure, ordinary face, wearing a thick floral headscarf, a colorful coat on his gray-green robe, and a Uz steel knife hanging around his waist.

He also brought a white slave about seventeen or eighteen years old and without beards - this scene is very similar to the descendants of aristocratic descendants of the empire who have gone bankrupt due to business.

Hundreds of years after its founding, the aristocratic group grew bigger and bigger, just like the huge descendants of the royal family in the late Ming Dynasty. The Ottoman Sultan did not set a certain salary for each descendant of the royal family like the Ming Dynasty. Except for a few hereditary nobles, a large number of

The nobles gradually became merchants and civilians.

Their identities are obviously higher than those of ordinary civilians, but they are not much better.

The white boy named Peternovic, the son of old Peter who Qitad saved from Shiva, his mother was a Turkut, but he still had a fair face, which looked very similar to the European part of the Ottoman Empire nowadays

Bulgarians.

Since the Crimean Khanate and the Barbary Pirates' Rivers decline, the source of white slaves in the Ottoman Empire has greatly reduced, but this cannot defeat the Sultan. In the European part of its jurisdiction, there are also a large number of white Christians.

Fixed in a farm, enduring exploitation by Islamic landlords, as the population proliferates, there are naturally a large number of bankruptcies.

Many of them transformed into the new source of white slaves in the empire.

Therefore, the Istanbul slave market is still flourishing.

So, a child of a destitute nobleman like Judd took a young white slave to do business. He had no right items to buy and had to continue walking around the world. The scene was everywhere in the Ottoman Empire.

After paying the ship fee, Guard set out on this galleon that used a large number of slaves.

A few days later, the ship finally arrived in Istanbul.

After docking at the port near the entrance to the Carterhane River, the two climbed up the stairs.

When they walked to the north gate of the castle, they were stopped. The guards of the city guard checked the identity documents issued by Judd when he was baptized by the large temple. The empire has not regarded digital management as the norm.

How many people live there, and who are their parents can only rely on the imams of the temple.

The guard saw a special mark on the piece of paper and quickly bowed to Judd.

It was the mark of a knight riding a horse, which meant that this person came from a Sipasi noble family, and such a person could not be offended easily.

Judd was able to obtain such an identity document, which shows how corrupt the Ottoman Empire had reached. Of course, it was not easy to obtain such a document from a temple, but based on Truchen's current counterfeiting technology, I wanted to imitate it.

Don't be too easy.

Truchen CIA is the 18th century Huanyu license company and the Pacific Cultural Supplies Company.

I don't know how many original identity documents are accumulated in each temple. It is used to describe it as outdated. Once a fire occurs, the government will not instruct the temple to restore another batch of documents, because they are using tax-protecting officials, only

It's enough to receive the taxes specified a hundred years ago. They don't care about how many people there are under their jurisdiction.

Of course, religious aristocrats know, but they can only know a little bit. Since the Sultan is the religious leader of the entire empire, they will naturally know something, but they will not know much more about the situation in the country than the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

/p>

Not only the Ottoman Empire, but also the European countries are roughly the same nowadays, otherwise the major ports would not have become "a paradise for spies" (a famous British historian compiled the Penguin version of the Brenin language of European history).

From the beginning of getting off the boat, Judd was very moved.

The harbor is full of ships, the dock is crowded, and the city is still bustling. It seems that the empire is not in a crisis that affects the country's destiny. Perhaps it is the tall and thick walls of Istanbul, and the tens of thousands of Wanyeniceri and Sipasi in the city.

It gave them an illusion.

An illusion caused by habits and inheritance.

For hundreds of years, Europeans have no choice but to the Ottomans who occupied their holy land. This is the source of the illusion.

Although they have increased their vigilance against the Jews, the Sultan, who lives in the deep palace, cannot see the real situation in the outside world. Until now, the Sultans dare not leave the palace easily because they killed all their brothers as soon as they came to power.

Although death has caused the unbreakable imperial power, it has also caused their excessive introversion.

Since you are in the deep palace and cannot leave, the power struggle in the harem is obviously extremely exciting. The power struggle between eunuchs, concubines, and children is no less than that in the East Asian world, and it may be possible to win.

In this case, the power of the secular world is actually in the hands of senior generals such as Vizier, Vizier and Jenicer. For these people, it takes secular people to be in high positions and enjoy wealth and honor.

Contrast.

As a result, Istanbul is still as prosperous as before.

The city leaning against the pier is naturally a place of prosperous business, with taverns, inns and shops lined up. It is not too easy to find a mansion here.

Judd's original name was Abdullah Judd, but now it has become Yusuf Judd. The inn and the former owner of the station connected to it were Yusuf, so Judd

He also became the owner of this inn and residence.

A child of a destitute nobleman runs a port-side inn.

Everything looks ordinary and ordinary.

Judd was able to go to the large temple near the dock as Yusuf for worship, but no one saw through his identity - there were too many noble children, and the temples were replaced very well, and the Turks seemed to be

Almost, who would care if this person is Istanbul?

What's more, according to the Islamic Scripture, those who enter the temple are all believers of Allah, let alone a Turkic person?

But it is different in Truchen. They adopted the system of licensing in China that has been implemented in all dynasties. No matter what believer you are, you must be certified to work, otherwise you will be severely punished. Even if you return to secular life, you must go through the Religious Department of the Ministry of Rites.

The documents issued should be.

With the strict household registration and land system among the people, they are the country in the world that knows the most about their population and financial resources.

When Judd came back, it was still summer. The summer here was dry and hot. After entering his mansion, Judd took off his coat, pulled a bucket from the well, took out a cold beer from it and took a big sip and felt comfortable.

Lying down.

"Yusoft" has a house in the city, which was used by Judd for rent. After returning here, he sent his "slave" Peternovic (who owns his Ottoman name) to collect rent and ask along the way.

Here’s what’s happening.

At night, the largest barbecue restaurant here is very popular. People of all kinds will go there to eat and drink. Although Islamic Buddhism has restrictions on believers' drinking, Sultan also thinks so, but Vizier, who is in the secular world, is in a secular world.

We won't think so.

Hug left and right, drinking iced wine on the hot summer day, then chanting a Persian poem under your own grape trellis, and after returning to the study, he wrote a poem that he had expressed with his feelings, and then waited

The housekeeper reports the income and expenditure of his own industries.

This is the life of most Ottoman civil servants.
