sultan's crescent

Chapter 31
After solving the popular petition, Selim lost interest in validating the bill.

He stayed alone in the Baghdad Palace and began to flip through the "Times" from a few months ago.

I don't know why, since he was introduced to John Walter by Sophia, the two actually only communicated a few times, but the "Times" often appeared UC-style shocking headlines.

For example: "The Death of Rumyantsev!" "

"Stupid Louis XVI"

Rise of the Ottomans! "

"Who Is Napoleon?" "

What talented writers and review editors are these? John Walter changed the style of the entire British news circle by himself.

While complaining about the familiar style, Selim thought about the impending French Revolution. It’s only been a few days, so let’s wait and see.

As for Napoleon, he must be put back, but before leaving, he can use the future Napoleon again, such as cleaning the Guards.

"Your Majesty, the British government has agreed to send workers and technical experts to the empire to guide the learning and self-production of related technologies and equipment, but their quotation is relatively high, asking for 40 pounds?"

Selim was completely shocked when he heard this quotation. What the hell, the co-authored proverb appeared in advance, right? Daiying will never be a man in terms of not being a man.

The steam engine killed 600 million taels of silver, what else is Selim going to revive, he just married the bride and brought the English, and the silver was used as a dowry.

As for the position of Sultan, it is better to pass it on to the three-year-old Mahmud. Anyway, the Great Ottoman Empire will not die for a while, and Mahmud can experience it in advance, but it is so young, do you really understand?
After thinking wildly for a while, Selim brought his brain back to the topic again, and seriously asked about the specific situation of Ishak Pasha.

"Ishak Pasha, whose way are you looking for, with such a big appetite?"

Selim decided to let the other party see Sudan's influence in Daiying, and pen pal diplomacy is not just lip service.

"Your Majesty, this is Sir Thomas, Parliamentary Secretary to Prime Minister William Pitt."

Hearing Ishak Pasha's answer, Selim fell silent for a moment.

What the hell, why is a deputy minister of state so shabby, he will not be short of money to be in this position, even if he is short of money, why is his appearance so ugly.

The point is, Selim really has nothing to do with him. He is a dignified member of the outer circle of the British cabinet. How can Selim manage others.

"So, Ishak Pasha, isn't there anything we can do to reduce this expenditure?"

"I am afraid not, my lord, Sir Thomas is not a man to be persuaded.

He entered the British Foreign Office directly after graduating from Cambridge University at the age of 20, and transferred to the Ministry of Finance at the age of 30. At the age of 44, he was favored by the current Prime Minister William Pitt and joined his cabinet.

But in fact, before William Pitt, many British prime ministers had invited him, but they were all rejected by this person.

Until Pete's success, though we don't know exactly what Pete promised him. "

Selim was already extremely speechless, what with the British version of the hermit, it seems that the curve is saving the country.

"Ishak Pasha, bypass the British government and go to Matthew Bolton. He is the main partner of Watt. I have a little friendship with him. The president of the Royal Society is also familiar with me. The base price is 20 Sterling, I wish you good news for the Empire."

After seeing off Ishak Pasha, Selim received Jacob who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"Your Majesty, although I don't know what method he used, Ali Pasha did it."

Jacob said excitedly.

"He exchanged for a large number of notes in small bank-like houses in various parts of the empire.

With the help of these bills, the Imperial Royal Bank has wiped out all the small money houses in the two regions of Anatolia and Rumelia.

This is not only conducive to the establishment of the authority of the Imperial Royal Bank, reducing the resistance of the imperial government to intervene in economic development, but also the effective use of funds.

By the way, Your Majesty, the money is worth £350 million, though most of it belongs to estates and estates.

Another point is, please rest assured that for these real estate and fields.

Imperial Royal Bank has already taken care of the problems that holding them may pose for you, and no family member of the Guards will have any questions about it. "

Listening to Jacob's report, Selim felt that this kid was getting more and more capable.As for the wealth of the Guards, Selim wasn't surprised at all. After all, it had been accumulated for hundreds of years.

But Selim was full of doubts about Ali's behavior. This guy was sincere. Did he make a mistake? Could it be that Ali really believed in that oath, right?so pious?
"Actually, Ali Pasha must have been prepared to sacrifice for the country, and the reason why he finally wished me to revive the empire must be implying that I would do so.

In fact, I don't want to, but the Guards are too rampant, so someone needs to make such a sacrifice.

Well, when I finish the guards, I will posthumously award Ali Pasha the Imperial Medal of Honor. After all, I didn't kill him, so there is no need to feel too guilty. "

Considering that people cannot be resurrected after death, Selim suppressed the grief in his heart and tried to comfort himself. The effect was as good as ever, just like the effect when his uncle died.

After calming down his mood, Selim took his guards and planned to go to his newly acquired property to have a walk and relax.

As the sultan of the empire, he must always pay attention to his mood, so as to provide the best quality protection for his people.

The outskirts of Constantiniya, which has entered the summer, are particularly beautiful. In a manor that Selim visited, the olives have become verdant, forming a beautiful picture together with the golden fields.

However, the Sultan had no intention of admiring such a beautiful scenery at this time. He was thinking about the damned ethnic and religious issues of the Ottoman Empire.

Although the right to education has been obtained from the Grand Mufti and brainwashing education has been started, such coverage is actually quite limited because the Ottoman Empire did not establish a complete compulsory education system.

"Maybe I could try to move a large number of Muslims from North Africa into the Balkans, which is really possible.

But I have to hurry up, the French Revolution, the root of all evils that spread nationalism, is about to start.

A little later, the Ottoman Empire would not be able to use these Balkan Christians as messengers, without worrying about their strong rebellion.

Shooting the first bird, Selim decided to start with the Greek region that was the first to become independent in history.

What about Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Muslims in these areas are all thrown to the Greek area.

The only pity is that it is estimated that Ka Dazuo will not appear in the future time and space. "

　Please collect, please read, family members.This book has been promoted to the second round of recommendation by the starting point, but the third round is probably a bit of a stretch, because it costs three to four hundred for follow-up reading, and family members should not raise books, it is easy to raise them to death
