Chapter 1703： Zebu and brass coins

In later generations, Zebu is basically the mainstay of tropical regions. For example, Brazil has basically adopted the rumen cattle imported from India as the main theme. In Australia, although Angus cattle dominate, in the northern tropics of Queensland, they are mainly cattle of the dwarf cattle origin. After all, Zebu's tropical areas have the best adaptability and are not afraid of tropical rainforests.

Of course, the cattle in Queensland, Australia, are not pure-blooded Indian tumor cattle. Instead, they are a mixture of Brahman cattle cultivated in the United States and local Angus cattle to breed Po Angus cattle that adapt to the tropical climate and have good meat . In the tropical areas of Australia, basically this mixed-breed cattle are used.

Marin now has the most Eastern European grassland cattle, which is cold and heat resistant. He intends to introduce a group of Indian zebu bulls and cross them with a large base of Eastern European grassland cattle in order to obtain heat-resistant breeds similar to Po Angus cattle. Of course, the original zebu population is also expanded as much as possible.

As for the Persian cattle, the Persian climate is special. Although it is in a temperate zone, it is very hot in summer. Therefore, local cattle are not afraid of heat. Shipped to India, it is not easy to die. Moreover, although India is hot, the latitude is actually not high. Unlike Indonesia, it is directly on the equator. Moreover, the Indian region seems to be less humid, with a dry season and a rainy season, and only the rainy season will be rainy. Persian cattle should be able to adapt to this semi-humid tropical climate. If you change to the tropical rainforest climate of Indonesia, the Persian cattle will be completely unable to adapt. After all, the Persian area is dry and hot, and the tropical rainforest climate is completely unused.

Moreover, Marin also knows an interesting cultural phenomenon-Indians regard white cattle as **** cows. Among them, the white horned cow with hump is regarded as a **** cow by the Indians.

Marin did not dare to covet the white zebu cow, that is the "higher caste" in the cattle world. However, variegated zebu can still be obtained. Big deal, add some money and exchange them with Persian cattle.

In addition, Draka also reported an interesting phenomenon to Marin-within India, the culture is also different!

White Bull culture is the culture of the area where Hinduism prevails in India. In such areas, it is difficult to obtain cattle. However, there are also Iseran cultural regions in India. Such regions do not exclude cattle trading or even export. Even, many Indian Yislan believers still like to eat beef ... Of course, they dare not eat white zebu cows, fearing that the Hindus will desperately want them ...

Marin is targeting this type of Iselin cultural area, intending to introduce Indian zebu from this type of area. For example, Sindh, Gujarat and Bijapur on the west coast of India are the states of Iserland. It is relatively easy to introduce zebu from these three states as long as they are not white. Not to mention, Marin also compensated the Persian cattle.

This year, India is torn apart. The Mughal dynasty, the last dynasty that united India, did not rise until 1526. At this time, the first emperor of the Mughal Empire, Babur, was now his chieftain in Kabul, Afghanistan. This cargo will only enter the north of India around 1519.

All in all, India ’s history is a cup, invaded and conquered by nomads from Central Asia. Among them, Afghanistan is one of India's most important victims. Not to mention that Afghanistan was a small country with poor mountains and bad waters in the 21st century. However, in the cold weapon era, the regions of Afghanistan that produced fierce cavalry often traveled to India like the grasslands nomads invaded the customs. Moreover, they are much more ruthless than the nomads in the grasslands, they directly entered India, became the masters, and reduced the aborigines to untouchables ...

Because of the repeated invasions of nomadic peoples in Central Asia, the Islam religion in India is now very powerful. Among them, the most powerful sultanate of Delhi is the Islamic state. There is also a rich Bangladesh (Bangladesh is a rich country at this time, not a poorer country in later generations), and it is also a country in Iserland.

The most interesting thing is that Gujarat and Bijapur are still Shi'ite Islam countries. These two states on the west coast, because of their beliefs, also have close ties with Persia, and they belong to Persia ’s most important trading partner in India. After all, people have the same faith.

Marin's goal is aimed at these Islam-Band states of India, and he intends to do everything possible to introduce Indian tumefaction from these states that are likely to sell cattle.

It should be pointed out that India has more than buffalo and buffalo. But only zebu cows are respected and protected by Indians. As for buffaloes, even Hindus do not think they should be protected. The local Iseranites Asan, who like to eat buffalo meat, are ignored by Hindus.

But Marin looked down on buffaloes and only recognized zebu cattle. Therefore, he can only think of a way from the Indian state of Iserland, which doesn't pay much attention to the zebu.

Fortunately, whether it is Sindh, Gujarat or Bijapur, it is on the west coast of India, with easy trade. In addition, the eastern state of Bengal also depends on the sea to facilitate trade.

...

Of course, that's what happened afterwards. At this time, Bernard Shaw was appointed by Marin and was talking about oil trade with the Persians.

"Petroleum? You mean black oil produced in Baku?" Ismaili didn't understand it very much, just heard about it.

Bernard Shaw nodded again and again:

"Yes, Your Majesty Shah, we need that, a lot!"

"Why do you want that? It seems useless, it can only be used to treat skin diseases in animals."

"We just want to use it to treat animal skin diseases!" Bernard Shaw looked sincere. In fact, he really believed that oil was used to treat skin diseases in animals. Because, Marin did not tell him the truth.

Ismail I was not very interested in the oil trade, so he waved his hand and said indifferently:

"This question, you consult with the Prime Minister and the Governor of Azerbaijan, I am too lazy to manage."

"Okay, then thank you for your hospitality, and I will go to the Prime Minister Ajad to discuss this matter." Bernard Shaw respectfully said.

But when standing up, there was a little accident-the money bag in Bernard Shaw's waist fell to the ground, and the gold, silver and copper coins were scattered all over the ground ...

Among them, some coins rolled on the ground and rolled to the feet of Ismaili ...

Ismaili I picked up a few coins curiously ~ www.novelhall.com ~ took it in his hand and watched it. What he got was the brass coins that Marin ordered to be minted and issued in Beihai.

"This is the gold coin of your country?" Ismaili asked curiously.

Bernard Shaw picked up the money and looked at the coins in Ismaili ’s hand, then replied casually:

"No, this is our copper coin!"

"Copper coin? Isn't the copper coin dark red? This is obviously golden ..." But soon, Ismail I also felt wrong. Because, this "gold coin" is much lighter than normal gold coins, but it is almost heavier than copper coins.

Bernard Shaw explained:

"This is a unique copper coin invented in our country, using a unique alchemy technique. It looks golden and similar to gold. But in fact, it is called brass, which is a very dazzling copper. It is used for coining. Private casting can not imitate. "

"Can't imitate it?" Ismaili's eyes brightened ...
