Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 3 The Road to the Iron Pot
For Guo Kang's evaluation, there is no surprise for Huan Huan.

"You know the level of everyone on my side." He spread his hands and said, "There are so many people, but none of them is... er, a virtuous minister of literature. It has taken us a lot of effort to be able to write these things."

"Now we can only do so much by ourselves. Don't worry, you won't be asked to do everything." He added: "I even called several helpers."

Seeing that Tuo Huan was lying flat, Guo Kang could only nod his head to express his understanding.

He turned back and glanced at the only line of writing.

Judging from the words used above, Tuo Huan and the others did think about it.

The name Daqin Daroma Ulus is an official name that has only been used in recent years.Guo Kang felt that it should be an imitation of the title of the Yuan Dynasty.

The word Ulus belongs to the characteristic nouns of grasslands.Roughly speaking, it has the dual meanings of tribe and land.

The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and the crowd often moves, so simply looking at the "territory" doesn't make much sense.And an Ulus can be simply understood as a group of tribes and the various pastures they occupy, which constitute a divided unit.

When the Mongolian regime was first established, it was called "Yeke Mongol Ulus".Translated directly, it is actually very... Zhuopu, which means "a very large, Mongolian territory".

Later, Kublai Khan proclaimed himself emperor and took "Dayuan" as his country name.In the documents to other khanates, the full name of the Yuan Dynasty was written as "Dayuan Great Mongolia Ulus".In the official version of the Yuan Dynasty, Dayuan is Mongolia, and Mongolia is Dayuan. These two have the same meaning.In some documents, it is simply written as "the Great Mongolian Ulus known as 'Great Yuan'".

As for why the meanings are the same, they have to be included... probably because important things need to be repeated.

Of course, the above are all the Yuan Dynasty's own statements.It is not easy to say whether the other khanates regard the Dayuan regime as Mongolia, it depends on the specific time and situation.

As for the current Purple Horde Khanate, this way of writing can be borrowed. "Great Qin" is what the ancient Central Plains people called Rome, and "Rome" is the local language, but it expresses the same meaning.When these two are stacked together, it is "the Roman state known as the 'Great Qin'", which should be easier to understand and more formal.

It is easier to understand Bai Saihan.The official title of the emperor of the Purple Horde is a Greek title called "Baseleus".As early as when Zizhang was still operating in Bulgaria and was still an ordinary force, everyone knew the name.In order to save trouble, it is generally called "Bao Sai Khan" directly in colloquial language.After a long time, it became a custom and became the special khan number of the Roman emperor.

The second half of the sentence is the name of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, there are many names of the Ming Dynasty. There are a lot of names in the various khanates of the Mongolian family.The most popular is to directly use the country name, called "Da Ming Wulu Si".Or, add a prefix indicating the ethnic group and call it "Khitan Daming Kingdom".

In the documents between the Ming Dynasty and the feudal vassals and the guards, it is often referred to as "Duotu Ladu-Ulus" or "Duotu Ladu-Hezha's".Literally translated, it means "inland".

In the foreign documents, the official name of the Ming Dynasty is the favorite translation, which is this "Dunta Ulus", which means "the country in the middle".This is an officially designated name, which is the most formal Mongolian name.Using this name will indeed make the people of the Ming Dynasty happier.

As for the last "Zhu Tianping Hehan", he is the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Guo Kang himself was also surprised to find out from other people that Zhu Biao, the eldest son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, did not die of illness early in this world, but ascended the throne normally, with the reign title "Tianping".

Guo Kang realized at that time that the changes in the world may not be as simple as the foster father having "internal strength".

"Hehan" is the honorific title above Khan.If the ordinary Khan was a king, Gahan would be an emperor.In the Yuan Dynasty, the word was directly translated as emperor. The title "Zhu Tianping Hehan" is also a habitual usage.

In short, the good news at present is that in this short sentence, Tu Huan and others have basically considered the words that need special attention and are of concern to both parties, obviously after serious verification and deliberation.

The bad news is that the Tuohuan team has been deliberating until now, and just wrote this sentence...

Of course, this is really impossible.As Tuo Huan himself said, his subordinates are indeed not this material.

In order to maintain the balance and at the same time win over nobles from all over the world, almost all the servants and close ministers around him are Bulgarians and Serbs.

And the reason is actually because the Greek women in the court are too strong.

In order to gain more support, marrying local people is a very common option.Since the purple tent went south, almost all the wives of the Great Khan in the past were Greeks, with the exception of his grandfather, the hero of the purple tent, Basil Yerigo Borjiginus.

The daughters of the rich families in Eastern Rome have dominated the inner court for generations.The ruling scope of the Khan court is not small, but those princesses and noble ladies from Bulgaria, Serbia, and Rus countries can't compete with these old Greek ladies with a lot of heart.Even the Great Khan and the Zhu Kingdoms are often tortured enough.

The early khan court was still polygamous, and this sign is already very obvious.Later, as the Khanate became more and more Roman, monogamy became the mainstream, and the advantages of Greek ladies could no longer be reversed.

The Khanate needed the support of the Greeks, but they could not allow these people to completely control the court. Therefore, as a response, the Great Khans of all dynasties had to train their successors from an early age, so that they could get acquainted with talents from other ethnic groups as early as possible, so as not to be killed by their mothers. Manipulate with my uncle's family.Among them, it includes forming an answer with Guo Kang and others early, and also including the selection of these Serbian followers.

However, these people are still good at fighting, and it is too difficult for them to toss about the diplomacy with the Ming Dynasty...

The problem is that the relationship with the Ming Dynasty is very important to the Han court.Sooner or later, they have to take on this job, and they cannot escape.

Commerce is of vital importance to the Khanate.

The reason why Constantinople is rich is because she is stuck at the mouth of the Black Sea, and supplies from all directions have to be transferred and gathered here.And once the trade route is monopolized and transferred by others, it will soon suffer huge losses, and even become a bottomless pit that can only enter and exit, which in turn swallows the empire's economy.

The Golden Horde had positive examples back then.

The month is the period of Bee Khan's rule, and the Khanate was at its peak. From the Yuan Dynasty to Bulgaria, it was the territory of the Great Khan.The Khan court invested huge sums of money to build and maintain roads and post stations, and deployed heavy troops along the way.

Caravans don’t even need to carry food, fodder, or hire guides, because as long as money is given, the post stations and settlements along the way will provide all the materials needed.There is no need to worry about robbery, because all the tribes along the way were conquered by the Great Khan.

This makes trade extremely smooth.It only takes 270 days to reach Europe starting from Yuandadu, plus the time for loading and unloading cargo and water and land transshipment along the way.

And these investments have also brought huge returns.

The grassland passage maintained by the Golden Horde once replaced the ancient Silk Road passing through Central Asia and Persia because it was closer and more convenient.Commodities from the East flowed into Bergosarai, the capital of the Khanate, and then transferred to Europe and West Asia.

These commodities brought previously unimaginable wealth to the Khanate.Arab travelers recorded that the prosperity of this city on the prairie has surpassed that of Persia and the cities of Mesopotamia.Even the entire Ross region has entered an era of unprecedented prosperity—after that, it probably won't be there for a long time.

Among these products, silk is the most famous.But if you look at the transaction volume, the largest ones should be porcelain and ironware.Especially in maritime trade, ironware accounts for the largest proportion by weight.

Regardless of sea or land, the most important type of iron export is a large iron pot.The so-called Maritime Silk Road can actually be called the Iron Pot Road.

It can be said that the iron pot is the lifeblood of the Khanate.

This can be seen from many places.For example, Emperor Shun of the last Yuan Dynasty was named Tuohuan Tiemuer, which means "iron pot".

The emperor directly called it an iron pot, which shows how important this thing is.

Lian Tuohuan himself, the name actually means "pot".

　Friends who are interested can look at the excavation records of the "Nanhai No. [-]" shipwreck.That ship carried hundreds of tons of iron.
