The war situation in the Safavid Dynasty is still heating up.
Just then.
Suddenly, Longyan issued an announcement.
Due to the impact of the war situation in Central Asia, the Longyan business group traveling between the three countries will consider trade matters as appropriate.
As soon as this news came out.
The entire Ottoman Empire collapsed.
What's the meaning?
This means that in the next few days, the Longyan merchant will not come?
How can this work!
If the Longyan Merchant Group does not trade, what will happen to the refined salt? What to do to the tea? What to do to the spices?
all of a sudden.
The Ottoman Empire was in panic.
then.
Jiang Xuan and others, who were walking to Istanbul at this time, suddenly became popular.
Wherever he went, he was wildly sought after by the local people.
"Sir, how about you rest here today?"
When Jiang Xuan's caravan arrived, a group of people went crazy. All the officials in charge came.
The purpose is simple.
Salt!
Spice!
Therefore, no matter how chaotic the Ottoman territory is, as long as you are a businessman from Longyan, you will be treated like an honored guest!
"I can only leave a little..."
Jiang Xuan chuckled.
He knew that since he came, he would definitely not be able to leave without leaving something behind.
When the officials heard this, they were overjoyed.
A little is enough!
As long as you have enough for yourself, those common people have no time to care about them!
then.
A feast was entertained and beautiful women served.
Sing and dance.
In the past few days, the prices of refined salt, tea, and spices have doubled several times.
"Good guy, how much money are you going to make on this trip?"
After Jiang Xuan had eaten and drank enough, he returned to his room, where he and his brothers looked at each other and laughed.
"Brother Xuan, shall we share the profits from this trip?"
someone asked.
Jiang Xuan laughed loudly: "That's natural!"
Several people cheered.
...
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Istanbul.
Grand Vizier Ahmed looked gloomy.
"Sir, this is definitely Long Yan's intention!"
"They want to suppress us in trade!"
"His heart is to be killed!"
A group of civil and military officials kept yelling angrily.
Ahmed said angrily: "I'm not here to listen to your analysis, I'm here to let you figure out how to counterattack!"
"ah?"
A group of people looked at each other.
Counterattack?
really.
At the beginning, when the Ottomans and the Longyan Dynasty established trade, their import and export surpluses and deficits were within a similar range. But slowly, they discovered... a serious trade deficit. Slowly

And look at Osman.

At the beginning there was...
For example, the Persian carpets and their colored glazes are popular among the people of Longyan.

It started to decrease slowly...
But Ottoman, internal struggles, made all this go unnoticed.
Until today.
They discovered to their horror that they had nothing left to export to Long Yan, except gold and silver.
That's right.
In addition to gold and silver, they have these... at best, there are also some seafood, but what do these things count?
all of a sudden.
There was complete silence in the palace of Istanbul.
No one expected Long Yan's move.

And this trade war was a huge blow to the Ottomans.
"Find a way!"
"Find a way for me!"
Ahmed, roar out.
"yes!"
