Dan Tai Yunfeng ordered people to bring the tea table. He made tea himself, while Amal sat opposite him and cleaned the tea set. Amal studied in Penang, which was basically a custom in the southern empire. Southerners love to drink tea, especially when they talk about business. Now the two are talking about cooperation between countries, but in essence they are also business.

"Do you think the current concession is reasonable?" asked Dan Tai Yunfeng.

Amar nodded: "It is reasonable, but it must be a deadline, not permanent."

Tan Tai Yunfeng also agreed with this, but he did not expect Amar to be so honest. In fact, although Amar also believed that the concession was a trampling on the Ottoman sovereignty, if there was no concession, the Chinese would accept the Ottoman ruling order, it would definitely not be retained. Most of the management positions and all technical positions of the Suez Canal Company are Chinese.

Those Ottoman officials were also forced into it, but in fact they could not do anything. What Amar is sure of is that the concession can bring taxes, new ideas and new technologies, which have great significance for the Ottomans that are undergoing transformation.

"I know you want to expand the concession. When the canal is opened, it will become a hub of trade and a center of economy. The merchants coming and going here need plenty of space. Whether you Chinese or Europeans from the West, they are not very adaptable to us. This is a fact. But what I want to tell you is that I am Pasha of Sinai. I am committed to creating a new order that allows people of all kinds of civilizations and nations to coexist harmoniously.

Suez must be the Ottoman Suez, but also the free and equal Suez.” Amar made his point.

Dan Tai Yunfeng smiled with his palm and praised him sincerely, "Very good, I heard the oath of a patriot. Although your persistence is harmful to the interests of the empire, I agree with your behavior. Your Excellency Amalpasha, every patriot should be respected."

"Thank you for your understanding, but I will not give in because I am Pasha of Ottoman." Amar reminded.

Tan Tai Yunfeng shook his head: "No, you don't need to give in, because the current empire's policies in Suez are the same as your political philosophy."

"Oh, this is what I want to ask for advice. Let me tell you clearly, Lord Dan Tai Yunfeng, what do you want to do?" Amar asked.

Tan Tai Yunfeng said: "Pasha, how about we implement the Milit system in the Suez region and even the entire Sinai?"

"Milit?" Amar was a little confused for a moment. He didn't remember that there was such a system in imperial politics, but suddenly he remembered that it was not the Chinese system at all, but the Ottoman system.

Of course, at this late seventeenth century, the Ottomans did not form the real Milit system, but it had already formed a prototype. Greek Orthodox Christians on the Balkans already enjoyed Milit's rights. Milit is essentially a local autonomy system divided by religion, and Amar knew that his father Fazo was implementing this system.

The reason is very simple. Now the Ottomans are facing the threat of the two major powers of Habsburg and Tsarist Russia in the mainland. The Ottomans have a large number of Catholic and Orthodox Christians in the ruling areas of the Balkans. When the Ottomans are on the defensive, giving some non-Tianfang believers the autonomy of their non-Tianfang believers can reduce their tendency to resist and separatism.

In fact, Fazor has been promoting the Ottoman regime reform, and the reforms are mainly measured by religion. In places where the Tianfang Sect gathers, Fazor banned the feudal fief system, sent officials to rule, and strengthened centralization. For example, Egypt now does not belong to Mamluk, but is directly under the jurisdiction of officials sent by Istanbul.

In places where non-Tianfang scholars gather, Fazo is also trying to promote the Milit system.

Amar understood this and was a little confused: "Your country seems not so passionate about religion. The so-called Milit should just want this name."

Tan Tai Yunfeng smiled and said, "It's not that absolute, but it is essentially the autonomy of the Sinai region, turning Sinai into a special administrative region."

"Can you tell me in detail?" Amar said.

Tan Tai Yunfeng nodded: "This is His Highness Yu's proposal, and it is a bit complicated to say in detail. Its essence is to build the Sinai region into an Ottoman special economic zone......"

The Empire hoped that Sinai would have free economic policies, a reasonable tax system, a new legal system, an open religious atmosphere and a flexible management system.

Simply put, it means no longer building a country like the Concession, but instead transforming Sinai into a place that the Chinese can accept.

The imperial merchants were confused in the Ottoman territory, such as the law was imperfect and too casual, the tax system was chaotic, and the religious atmosphere was too conservative. However, not only foreigners are not adapted, but also the younger generation of Ottomans led by Amar also could not accept that the Ottomans would continue like this. They believed that the Ottomans had to learn from all aspects of the ** country.

Isn’t the Ottoman religious atmosphere conservative? Sinai can allow patriarchs of all faiths to manage their religion and have freedom of faith in the region, just like Greece, which implemented the Millit system.

The Ottoman laws are too arbitrary to serve economic and political needs. When conservative forces cannot be modified, they simply implement special or local laws in Sinai, and make changes based on actual conditions on the basis of maintaining the majesty of the traditional Ottoman laws.

At the same time, Sinai can also be used as a pilot for the reform of the Ottoman Empire, experimenting with new policies and laws, etc., and this is what Amal wants to do. Although he is only Sinai Pasha, he is pretending to be the entire Ottoman. During his study in China, Amal believed that the Chinese central government had a good policy, that is, whenever an unprecedented new policy was implemented, several representative provinces would be selected to implement it for a few years, learn lessons, and then promote it nationwide after improvement.

The Ottoman Empire could do this, and use the Sinai provinces they have mastered as a pilot to pave the way for future reforms of the Ottoman Empire.

Dan Tai Yunfeng did not show too much initiative. After receiving instructions from Shen Jing, when he discussed with Zhao Mingde, he already understood that this was an imperial-style special economic zone under the name of the "Milit system". He didn't know if Amar would support it, but this was the last choice.

Because this suggestion does meet the mentality of the Ottoman Empire's urgent need for reform, and is also beneficial to the development of the Ottoman Empire, which is a presumptuous plot.

But Tan Tai Yunfeng hopes that Amar will support it, because only by supporting can the war be avoided.

Amar listened to Tan Tai Yunfeng's introduction to the concept of the Special Economic Zone, and his expression showed his attitude towards the proposal. He nodded first, then was delighted, and then he was a little eager to try. In the end, he couldn't even sit there, stood up, paced back and forth in the flowerbed, until he stepped on a beautiful tulip that he woke up slightly.

Later, when the Sinai Special Economic Zone was established and achieved great success, Amar recalled this afternoon tea. He said that every word from Dan Tai Yunfeng was like a match, igniting the flame in his heart. It was the burning of dreams and the explosion of ambitions.

Amar has always had strong political ambitions, and he was extremely conceited, thinking that he was very capable, and shouldering the responsibility of making the Ottoman Empire stronger. He has always had many complaints about his father's policies, but as a son, he could not change anything and could only obey his orders.

Now, Tan Tai Yunfeng gave him a chance to freely display his ambitions in a small place like Sinai and test all reform measures that he believed were beneficial to the Ottoman.

"Pasha, maybe we have to pause for a while and let you think calmly." Dan Tai Yunfeng said with a smile.

However, Amar shook his head and said, "No, I'm very calm now, and I think you're very right. This is exactly what I want to do, the Special Administrative Region, what a good name, flawless, the person who proposed this name is really an unparalleled genius. I'm going to do it, yes, I'm going to do it."

Dan Tai Yunfeng had a serious face, but he smiled in his heart. Sometimes, he really couldn't understand the thinking of his father-in-law Li Junwei. The so-called special economic zone is actually a contract with a contract with a contract that was contracted, and it was facing the entire Sinai region. However, Amar happily agreed and wanted to implement it immediately. This is the real right medicine. For a young politician like Amar who was very energetic and eager to prove himself, he could not resist this temptation.

The concession has two characteristics: administrative autonomy and extraterritorial legal power. It has now been transformed into local autonomy and local regulations of the Special Administrative Region. Although the sovereignty is in the Ottomans, it has undergone an essential change. This is the Chinese language of the Sinai region, rather than China's reluctance to the Ottomans.

Amal did not have in-depth exchanges with Dan Tai Yunfeng, nor did he even participate in subsequent activities. He returned to Port Said, a place where merchants from all over the world gathered and where merchants from the East and the West gathered. Amal prepared a banquet and invited hundreds of merchants from all over the world. In front of them, Amal said that the Sinai region he led would continue to uphold an open attitude and give merchants from all over the world a better business environment.

Afterwards, Amar returned to Istanbul, and apparently he wanted to convince Ottoman's Great Vizier, his father Fazo, to go.

"Do you think Amar will succeed?" Zhao Mingde asked Tan Tai Yunfeng.

Dan Tai Yunfeng nodded: "I think it will. The Ottomans are now in a tide of reform, and they want to become a powerful country like the empire."

Zhao Mingde asked again: "Didn't Amar see that systems like Milit and the Special Administrative Region will enhance the power of local division and accelerate the awakening of national consciousness?"

"Actually, he and the Ottoman Empire have always known it, but this is a problem that cannot be solved. The Ottomans are different from the empire. Although our country is also a multi-ethnic country, it has an absolute advantage in the main nation, and the level of civilization of the nation is far beyond that of other nations. As long as we maintain the current policy of national equality, an unparalleled centripetal force will be generated.

But in the Ottoman Empire, the Turks did not have an absolute advantage, and their level of civilization was higher than that of other ethnic groups? Have you seen the works of the Persians and Arabs that Amar had sent people to imprint. But is Turkey a national? Speaking of which, the Sultans do not think they are Turks, and the Turks do not even have the qualifications to enter the Sultan Palace. In addition, there are sectarian conflicts that are difficult to explain, which is really a mess.

The Ottoman Empire was similar to a piece of Shaqima. It was bonded together by syrup, but it could never be integrated together, and it could only increase syrup. In countries like this, only strength can maintain unity. This strength is not only the strength of the country, but the advantages of neighboring countries.

A hundred years ago, the Ottoman Empire dominated Eurasia, and now there are two rivals that cannot be solved, Habsburg and Russia. What is terrible is that the Empire and the Ottoman are also neighboring countries. Faced with the impact of Eastern and Western civilizations and the attack of competitors from sea and land, the Ottoman Empire will definitely make changes.

Should we slowly move towards destruction or take a try, Amar chose the latter." Dan Tai Yunfeng said.

"No matter that, as long as Amal convinces Fazo, the last step of the Suez Canal plan will be successful." Zhao Mingde said that this naval staff official dedicated the most dynamic decade of his life to Suez, and now it has finally blossomed and bears fruit. The Suez Canal is like his child, watched as he grow up.

Tan Tai Yunfeng smiled and responded: "Mr. Zhao, are you satisfied? Haha, this is just the beginning. The Sinai region, half of the province, is the ladder to climb the sky for a country. Only by holding this kind of world is truly at ease."

Zhao Mingde was in charge of the Suez plan. Of course, he knew that the ultimate goal set by King Yu Li Junwei was that the empire was to completely control the Suez Canal, not military occupation or colonial rule, but to truly integrate the throat of the world with the empire, but this had nothing to do with him. Zhao Mingde was praised by the imperial newspaper as the father of the Suez Canal. He was going to return to Shenjing, take office and enter the cabinet.

Amar returned to Istanbul and immediately found Fazo. He directly took the idea of ​​a special administrative region proposed by Li Junwei through the mouth of Dantai Yunfeng. He claimed that after investigation and consultation, he believed that it was reasonable to implement a special Milit system in Sinai. Sinai could become a window for the Ottoman Empire to the outside world, or a test field for the reform of the Ottoman Empire.
