Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 33 Jealousy

The caliph, who thought he would be invited soon, did not come that day.

They didn't dare to go far, and they just strolled around the next day, but the caliph's people still didn't come.

As for tea cakes, it is not easy to trade with others before meeting the caliph.

(Once the caliph likes it but doesn’t give enough, it’s an offence)

Xie Jue was not moving, but Li Xiang still had a lot of goods to trade. Anyway, there was a man in black in Oman, so Xie Jue asked Li Xiang to do it by himself. He took Su Yue around Baghdad.

After two days of shopping, I saw a huge circular building at noon the next day. Li Xiang, who led the way, said that it was the library of Baghdad.

On the way, Li Xiang mentioned the library in Baghdad.

There are many books in the Song Dynasty, but most of them are hidden in their own homes. The palace has the most books, but outsiders can't see them at all.

But the library in Baghdad, after being recommended and guaranteed by someone, you can go in and consult it casually.

Li Xiang asked the acquaintance for a recommendation note, Xie Jue kept it with him, and since he saw it, he went straight to the library.

The library is huge, and there are so many books in it that even Su Yue, who had seen the Beijing Library in her previous life, was amazed.

Just grasping Li Xiang's subordinates and asking if there is a medical book.

In her last life, she once read an article comparing Chinese civilization and Arab civilization, which mentioned that the most famous Arab civilization, in addition to their checks and their numbers, is the doctor of Avinathan. Code.

(Of course, the astrogeography of the Arabs was also very advanced)

I just don't know about this changing world, but there is also that?
Then Li Xiang's subordinates were proficient in Arabic, but they really didn't know about it, so they went to the library with a small purse.

When the people in the library heard that people from the Song Dynasty actually wanted to read their medical books, they were so happy, they were so insane.

Three or four came here, and they were still scholars.

After a few words between Li Xiang's subordinates and Xie Jue, he was so excited.

Su Yue was pushed aside directly.

Xie Qi didn't know what they said was too profound (mathematics and astrology are the young master's hobbies), so he sat by Su Yue's side.

Watching Xie Jue discuss with them.

Xie Jue was taught the use of Arabic numerals by Su Yue'an, and was also taught the alignment of Arabic numbers, and some time ago, he began to learn simple Arabic characters from Li Xiang's entourage.

(Li Xiang can speak but not write well)

He's a genius, but he pays more attention, and what's more, he's discussing his favorite things.

Even the familiarity with the text is much higher.

After half a day, he could actually say the meaning of some of the words that the Arabs pointed to (but the speech is still not accurate).

The discussion between the two sides became more cheerful.

Scholars from several other libraries also ran over and started discussions on medical water conservancy and so on.

There are many businessmen from the Song Dynasty, and they will bring some books, but businessmen are businessmen, and it is difficult to find people with rich knowledge.

Now that I come across someone who actually knows everything and has his own opinions, why not hurry up?
And Arabia has its own unique insights and sayings in mathematics, astronomy, geography, and chemistry. Xie Jue has never come into contact with it before, and he just finds it very novel.

After chatting for a day and still not getting enough, Xie Jue went to the library for ten days.

When they arrived, they even brought the tea set and tea. They chatted while Su Yue made tea.

After those scholars drank their tea, a new round of heated discussions was sparked.

It's just that Su Yue is not a language genius like Xie Jue, she learned the conversation in a few days, listening to those Arabic words is like a bird singing, and the translation is a little bit incomprehensible.

And Xie Jue didn't want those people to know the secret of tea leaves, seeing Su Yue's ignorant look, he simply asked Xie Qidai and Li Xiang's men to take her out to the big market next to the library.

(He has been able to communicate with the other party without hindrance)
Xie Qi looked at the library and it was considered safe, and several people from Oman in black also followed.

So he took Su Yue out.

The market next to the library is one of the largest markets in Baghdad, and there are a lot of things in it.

It seemed that Su Yue wanted to buy this and that.

Fortunately, Xie Jue had already prepared for it and asked Xie Qi to bring two bags of gold coins from Baghdad.

And there are several black-clothed Oman people behind him.

Su Yue took a fancy to it, so Li Xiang's subordinates went to negotiate the price, and then Xie Qi paid the money, and then asked them to send it to the post house.

That's it, after only half of the shopping, Xie Qi ran out of money!

Just thinking about whether to persuade Su Yue to come back tomorrow, or to ask people to go back and get the money first.

Su Yue poked Xie Qi once and pointed to the front.

In front is a row of imposing stalls.

All the products sold are from Song Dynasty.

At this time, there were crowds of people in front of those stalls, a lot of people.

Of course, what Su Yue was pointing at was not the people who snapped up the goods, but the people behind the shop.

It was Xie Guang.

Frowning slightly, Xie Qi pulled her back and said in a low voice: "Let's go back first, bring more money tomorrow, and then go shopping."

Coming up from Basra is upstream, and the heavier the boat, the slower the sailing speed. They originally set out later, but because the boat was not as large as Xie Guang's fleet, the time to arrive in Baghdad was not much different, but Xie Jue and Li Xiang both I don't want to get involved with Xie Guang, so I don't have any contact, and the place I live is some distance from where Xie Guang lives.

And Xie Guang probably didn't even know they were here.

So there was no need for them to greet Xie Guang.

Su Yue nodded.

A group of people turned around and walked to the library.

Xie Guang also saw the group of them.

After thinking about it, he recognized the people who had been by Xie Jue's side all the time.

Baghdad is a huge city with a large population, and there are many nobles and big businessmen. Unlike Annan, anything can spread in a day.

Xie Guang only found out about Xie Jue selling tea to Mo Sen today.

Ten thousand tea cakes equals 20 taels of gold.

When Xie Guang found out, he almost vomited blood.

Think back to the time when I asked Xie Jue about the Long Tuan, Xie Jue said it was gone, but actually hid so much tribute tea!

Although it is said that it is his own ability to go to sea to do business, but Xie Jue came out with his boat. With such good goods, not to mention giving them away, it should be half of him, right?
(At this time, he had completely forgotten that he abandoned Xie Jue in times of crisis)

At worst, he will give money!
(The price of tribute tea in the Song Dynasty is not low. Good tribute tea is available in dozens of guan, hundreds of guan and one cake, and it is government-operated. You can’t buy it if you have money.)
Even if it's [-] sticks per cake, the selling price is ten times higher now!

Xie Jue's ten thousand cake tea made more money than his two shipments!

What's more, Xie Jue has more than [-] tea cakes!
(I earned so much earlier)
It really makes people look red.

"Hey, Xie Guang!" Grinding his teeth while staring at Xie Qi's back (he is tall), he heard someone calling him.

Xie Guang took a look and recognized the servants of Seri nobles, so he hurried out to say hello.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he heard the attendant say that his master was nearby, and his heart suddenly moved.

Xie Jue has made so much money this time, and is walking with Li Xiang again. After returning, he is afraid that he will immediately replace him as the number one maritime merchant in Quanzhou.

This is not a good thing.

Together with this thought, it immediately coiled around his mind like a poisonous snake.

Subconsciously, he said to the entourage: "It happens that I am free, so I will go to see Master Abu."

Xie Jue talked with those scholars for a few days and got a general understanding of the status of related disciplines.

Seeing that Su Yue and Xie Qi came back after running out of money, thinking about how he promised to take Su Yue shopping, but after staying in the library for more than ten days, he couldn't sit still.

After agreeing with those scholars to exchange tea cakes for some books, he took Su Yue out of the library.

While asking the translator to go back to get the money, he took Su Yue out to visit another market recommended by scholars and said to have many novelty items (such as chiming clocks).

Xie Jue learned a lot, and after talking happily again, he felt refreshed, with wisdom and vigor involuntarily glowing on his face.

vigorous posture.

Let Abu, who was pulled by Xie Guang to stand behind the stone pillar, stare blankly.

A heart jumped out.
