During these days in Somalia, Li Yan has become more and more aware of the country, but this understanding only brings him concerns about the integration of Somalia. The situation in this country is too chaotic.

Today, Somalia is mainly controlled by three major forces, one is the transitional government, one is the warlord alliance, and the other is the sectarian armed forces. Among them, the transitional government is controlling Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. However, the scope of the rights of the transitional government is only in a few blocks of the capital Mogadishu. Even so, the president of the transitional government still relies on the protection of five or six thousand United Nations peacekeeping forces to dare to work in Mogadishu. The Minister of Security and Finance are too common when they go out.

After leaving Mogadishu, the southern and northern towns of Somalia were ruled by different warlords. In Somalia, towns are the main settlements of Somalia, so these towns have become the focus of warlords' struggle. It is common for a few months to change their masters. The favorite place of warlords is of course Mogadishu. In just ten years, the Somalia capital has changed fourteen waves of warlord rule. It is not a hot commodity and a hot potato. This is also the reason why Li Yan did not attack Mogadishu. He didn't want to deal with these warlord armed forces that were salivating about the capital.

As for the sectarian armed forces, they are world-famous Islamic doctrines, as the name suggests, which is why the M country is so sensitive to sectarian armed forces, because they are deeply afraid that Somalia will become the second Afghanistan. After all, Somalia controls the throat position of the global waterway, and the most famous sectarian armed forces is the Islamic court alliance. The Al Shabaab is a little bit younger than them, because this armed organization once unified the entire Somalia, but this is obviously not what the people of M country originally thought, because in their eyes, Islam is equal to a terrorist organization.

In order to eradicate this organization, M State instigated Ethiopia, which had always had border disputes with Somalia, to use its troops. A total of 40,000 special forces accompanied M State to launch an attack on the armed organization and eventually drove it out of Mogadishu, but this force is still very powerful now.

When it comes to Ethiopia, we have to talk about the two evil neighbors facing Somalia. One is that they often send troops to Somalia if they are in trouble and Ethiopia, and the other is Kenya. These two strong neighbors are lackeys of M countries. Ethiopia and Kenya both invade two high-quality pastoral areas in Somalia. In order to have legal possession, they have never wanted a unified government in Somalia. This is also the reason why all the fourteen transitional governments in Somalia have failed. In addition to the reasons of local tribes, these stakeholder countries are also unable to distinguish themselves from each other.

"The scenery here is really good." On the outskirts of Kaidalo Town is where Somalis grazed camels. The golden desert is in the desert. The black-skinned herders led a group of camels between the blue sky and the desert. It is these camels, cattle and sheep that support the country's economy. Another type is myrrh, which is a spice, and Somalia is the largest origin of this spice. "I said, we can't always make a fortune by relying on diamonds. These Somalia's local specialties also have the value of development."

Li Ran accompanied Li Yan to Gaidalo every now and then, saying: "I just wanted to talk to Your Highness about this problem. Selling diamonds is not a long-term solution, it can only alleviate the temporary need. If Your Highness wants to grow in Somalia, you must learn to control the economy of a country. Now Your Highness's army is getting bigger and bigger. Food, weapons, ammunition, fuel, soldiers' salaries, vehicles, etc. These require a lot of expenses, especially these refugees, who have nothing to do, and they just consume food every day. No matter how much food there is in Ryukyu, they cannot be consumed like this. This will slow down the development of the Tang Dynasty? Your Highness should now benefit both sides."

Li Yan remained silent when he heard this. He had indeed thought about this question. It was indeed not a problem to transport a large amount of food from Ryukyu every day to provide it to consume here. He could not provide for the entire Somalia. Self-sufficiency is the foundation in Somalia. After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you have any good solutions?"

"It's very simple, build a common trading port for two worlds." Li Ran said slowly.

"Be more specific." Li Yan vaguely felt that Li Ran's suggestion might cause a huge change.

Li Ran moved on the co-pilot of the Hummer military vehicle and said, "After fully interfering in the economic affairs of Yizhou, I have been organizing people to investigate the economic situation of the whole world. As a result, I came to a very pessimistic conclusion that the economic system of Your Highness Yizhou will collapse completely due to overcapacity in less than five years."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, "Don't scare me." Yizhou is now in prosperity, and Li Yan dare not imagine the consequences of the economic collapse. Now the people have gained sweetness. Once they lose this sweetness, it means that the foundation for Yizhou has been lost.

"This is not an exaggeration. Your Highness's colonial plan has indeed opened up a way for Yizhou to develop its economy. But Your Highness should not forget the population and people's consumption capacity of that era. The Tang Dynasty had a population of 20 million, and the total population of the world was less than 100 million. The consumption capacity of most people in this 100 million people could not afford Yizhou's goods at all. Now, Yizhou's production capacity is constantly strengthening after the power is powered on. Once these goods are unsold, the rapid development of Yizhou will be equivalent to nonsense." Li Ran said with a serious expression.

"What do you mean is that supply will be imbalanced soon?" Li Yan thought for a while and said. He understood what Li Ran meant. Now Yizhou is equivalent to concentrating the wealth of the whole world, which will lead to a momentary prosperity. However, other places become increasingly poor and their purchasing power is getting worse. However, Yizhou's industry is constantly increasing. One day, Yizhou's goods will have consequences of rotten streets.

"That's right, but now we have found a way to open a port and sell Yizhou's goods into this world. One Africa is enough to ensure the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's economy." Li Ran said.

Li Yan had to admire Li Ran's wisdom, and he continued: "But if this is the case, how can this currency be solved? The merchants in Yizhou do not know the US dollar, and they do not know the Tang currency here."

"This is not a problem, it's just a little trouble. It's better to set up a trade zone in Ryukyu to buy grain and various materials and sell them to Africa for US dollars, and then exchange them with the Tang Dynasty currency and US dollars to Yizhou merchants. In this way, His Highness got the US dollar, and the Yizhou merchants got the Tang Dynasty currency. At the same time, they could provide more jobs and increase the income level of the people. It can be said that they kill three birds with one stone."

Li Yan said excitedly, "Well, this means that there is an additional foreign trade country, which not only increases the economic output of the Tang Dynasty, but also avoids inflation. In this case, you organize people to establish a trading zone and organize a commercial company that can travel between two worlds."

"Okay, Your Highness, but this may require Your Highness to keep the time and space gate from closing."

"There is no problem with this, but you have to find a hidden place in Somalia to build a warehouse, and I will go in and out from there in the future."

Li Ran said after hearing this: "I have already thought about this. I will build an underground fortress and a defense system, so that we can ensure our safety and concealment."

Li Yan was very satisfied with Li Ran’s plan, which means that Yizhou and modern society have officially opened trade. In this way, Li Yan can ensure that the Tang Dynasty continues to maintain rapid development without collapse due to unbalanced supply.

As for Somalia, Li Yan is also preparing to carry out economic construction and help Somalia unify. Although he has his own selfish intentions, this is also the welfare of the entire Somalis. He can't always ask for his own pocket as a sucker. Moreover, Somalia has been explored to have a huge oil field. It is just because of the chaos here that the oil field has been delayed in development. It is precisely because of this oil field that the West has abandoned Somalia for ten years and extended its tentacles here again for the resources here. However, Somalia is really in a mess. The plan of the M people to support the puppet government went bankrupt one after another, but this did not affect the M government's attention to this country, and even regarded this as a bridgehead for returning to Africa. However, they obviously would not expect that there was an existence that they could not control here.

Li Yan came to Somalia to eliminate the threat that M country might have caused to the Tang Dynasty, but he unexpectedly found a new path of development. He was really unintentionally planting willows and willows. For this plan, he had to strengthen his control over his sphere of influence. He originally wanted to eliminate the Al Shabaab in one fell swoop, but this plan made him suddenly feel that it would be good to leave this armed organization that the M country has troubled by the M country to restrain the M country's M special forces in Mogadishu. Otherwise, if this organization was eliminated, M country might have designated him as a terrorist organization, but he would continue to maintain a crackdown on the Al Shabaab. After all, the two sides have formed enemies, and in the past few months, Katharo has had many gun battles.

After discussing with Li Ran, he decided to target Obiya, a port city in central Somalia. This place is 300 kilometers away from Kadaro, which is just a small port on the coast of Somalia. However, due to years of war, the port's throughput capacity is worrying. However, what Li Yan wants is foreign trade routes, so that he can control the foreign trade on his territory, and even sell goods from Somalia and Yizhou to the world, and import various goods from other parts of the world for Yizhou and Somalia. In this way, the economic cycle model has been formed. He no longer has to let the Australian base play the hard trick of self-producing and self-selling. This Somalia, which is basically on the same level as the feudal society, can also be developed to provide Li Yan with a source of funds. (To be continued...)
