Chapter 1702： Cattle for cattle

Obviously, Ismail I was unwilling to be slaughtered by a family in the Beihai Kingdom. When the Portuguese expressed their willingness to cheapen 50 gold coins per door, he decisively bought 40 guns from the Portuguese. Moreover, it was removed from the Portuguese warship in Hormuz port.

Ismaili intends to make the North Sea country worse and the Portuguese compete with each other, and then lower the price so that he can save a lot of money for buying artillery.

But the representative of Beihai State, Bernard Shaw, did not appreciate it and insisted on not cutting prices. Moreover, he also told Ismail I that the Portuguese artillery was not as good as ours.

Ismail I did not believe it, but after the Portuguese Franc machine guns arrived in the port of Hormuz, after testing, the Persian talent had to believe.

From the appearance point of view, the Folang cannon in the North Sea is no different from the Portuguese. However, in terms of the quality of Zi-Bun and the gap between the mother-Bun and Zi-Bun, the mass of the Folang cannon in Beihai is much higher.

Therefore, when shooting, when aiming and shooting, the Beilang country's Folang cannon is obviously better. With comparison, Ismaili had to compromise. After all, as an overlord in the Middle East, he can't buy cheap products cheaply. Therefore, the next 220 orders were won by Beihai.

Then, Bernard Shaw also sold the swords and armor made in the North Sea to Ismaili I. However, the Persian cavalry only likes to use the Safi machete with a very large curvature. Because, this is conducive to the light cavalry hacking the enemy.

As for the plate armor, the Persians did not like it either. After all, Persian horses are similar to Arabian horses and are medium-sized. If the rider puts on plate armor, the stable can't run.

Therefore, in the end, the Persians were only willing to buy the light chain mail of Beihai. As for swords, they are only willing to import steel ingots and then build their own.

Bernard Shaw was a little helpless, chain mail said that profit was okay. However, selling steel ingots is much less profitable than selling finished swords. However, the Persians are so stubborn, and he has no choice.

The most pitfall is that, according to the agreement reached by the deteriorating Portuguese in the North Sea State, the North Sea State can only sell weapons and armor products to Persia, and it is not allowed to involve civilian use. And the Persians did this, and the profit from selling weapons and armor in the future is difficult to support the cost of buying horses and cattle from Persia. When the time comes, Beihai will have to pay cash to buy Persian cattle and sheep.

...

After some deliberation, Ismail I basically agreed to purchase Folang machine guns, matchlocks, chain mails, and steel ingots from the North Sea State. As for the purchase of artillery, although he agreed to a price of 650 gold coins, he demanded the replacement with commodities. Among them, Persian horses ...

In fact, Bernard Shaw was originally willing to speak with animals instead. When I heard that Ismaili took the initiative to mention it, she pretended to make it difficult. Then, he began to slash prices ...

A group of war horses, at least dozens of gold coins or even hundreds of gold coins in Europe. But Bernard Shaw frantically lowered prices on the grounds that "Bosma could not carry a knight wearing a full-body plate armor". In Turkey, where a horse of 20 gold coins can be sold, Bernard Shaw offers 10 gold coins to Persia. As for ordinary Posma (not too bad), it only offers 3 gold coins.

The price of Bosma is cheap. Although it is known that the price has been suppressed, Ismail I has no choice. After all, Bosmado lacks a market.

Although the Egyptian Mamluk dynasty and Persia allied themselves and were willing to purchase Persian war horses in large quantities, Ismayi I was not very happy.

Because the Egyptian Mamluk dynasty, in the view of Ismail I, was also a potential enemy. Therefore, although he agreed to sell war horses to the Egyptians, he did not want to sell too much, so as to avoid Egypt being too powerful and threatening the security of Persia.

It is the North Sea country, and there is no conflict of interest with Persia. Ismaili I can safely sell horses. Anyway, Persia does not have to worry about the North Sea cavalry killing Persia. Because, the two sides are separated by Turkey and several countries.

As for the sea invasion? At least Ismail I knew that it was difficult for sea ships to transport horses. If you want to transport cavalry on a large scale, the possibility is very low. It can be very scary to transport thousands of cavalry at once.

There are also many cattle and sheep in Persia. For example, Persian sheep are very famous. After all, it is the source of raw materials for Persian carpets. But Marin was not very interested in Persian cattle and sheep, just a bit of a cow. Then, a group of Persian black-headed sheep was ordered. Because this kind of sheep is the female parent of the famous Du Bo sheep in the future. Marin is not willing to give up Du Bo sheep, the famous meat sheep in the future, so naturally introduced this kind of sheep.

In this regard, Ismail I was a little puzzled. Because the Persian rugs are made of Cork wool, not produced by Persian black-headed sheep. Strictly speaking, the Persian black-headed sheep is a fast-growing meat sheep, not a wool sheep. Therefore, Ismail I was somewhat surprised by the choice of the North Sea country.

In his view, it is the best choice to introduce Persian sheep and learn the weaving of Persian carpets. But the North Sea country wants mutton sheep instead of wool sheep, but it surprised Ismael I a little.

Where does he know that the Beihai country already has the best wool sheep Merino, and the wool quality is slightly worse, but the environment is better adapted to the Beihai sheep. Therefore, Persian sheep are not very attractive to Marin.

And Persian cattle, Marin originally did not want. After all, this Persian cattle is not an excellent breed.

However, the procurement of rumen from India was in trouble and Marin had to compromise ...

It turned out that Marin's purchase of zebu from India didn't matter at first. After all, at the beginning, the purchase volume is not large, and the Indian market can accept it.

But ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Later, as the scale of Marin's purchases expanded, it became more and more difficult to buy rumen!

Why? Because India is also an agricultural country, cattle are strategic resources. In ancient China, it was illegal to kill cattle. Although India is not so strict, it will not sell cattle casually. After all, the cattle are sold to you, what farmland do they take?

Later, Decara, who was in charge of Indian trade, came up with a way-he imported dozens of African cattle from the west coast of Africa and brought them to India, and he was willing to give extra money so that he could easily get the same amount from local farmers Zebu.

It is too difficult to buy cattle from Africa. The main reason is that Africans have a low level of civilization at this time and it is difficult to buy enough cattle.

Buying cattle from Persia is different. Although Persian cattle account for a small proportion, the total number is quite large. Moreover, Persia is close to India. It is more convenient to buy cows from Persia and then ship them to India, and to exchange tumour cows with Indians.

The climate in southern Persia is also relatively hot, and local cattle are also very heat-resistant. Transport to India is also adaptable. Even if you are not used to it, it is acceptable to die a batch. Even if two change one, Marin is willing. After all, Zebu is the overlord of tropical rainforest survival. Use cheap Persian cattle to go to the most suitable Indian tuber for the heat transfer belt. This wave is not a loss!
