Hey, Akuchi!

What seems to be the matter, Chukwudi?

Let's check those maps of yours!

These ones?

Yes!

What about them, Chukwudi?

What is it?!

Akuchi!

Have you never traveled before?!

Well......

I'll just spare you the trouble.

So.............

These maps show us where the Trans-Saharan trade routes and the Silk Roads are located and where they pass through.

Where exactly are the routes?

The Silk Roads primarily links Eastern Africa, Southern Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Southwest Asia.

So what about the Trans-Saharan Trade Routes?

Hold on, I'm getting to that. The Trans-Saharan Trade Routes pretty much link West Africa, North Africa, The Middle East and Southern Europe together.

Thanks Chukwundi!

Anytime Akuchi.

1 HOUR

You are the traders from Mali, correct?

LATER...

Yes, we are traders from Mali.

Word of you coming spread quickly. The king has permitted you to trade with us.

Alright, how many ducks, geese, tilapia, and camels can we get for ..., ..., and ... pounds of gold and ... pounds of salt?

You may have 5,000 ducks, 2,000 geese, 10,000 tilapia and 10 camels.

Thanks, but I also have a question. Are you Islamic?

No, I'm not.

Well maybe you should consider switching, because...

Woah, that really moved me, I'm gonna be a Muslim. Hey, what's your name?

My name is Enitan. What's yours?

My name is Imhotep. Well anyways, Thank you Enitan.

You're welcome Imhotep.

I see that you have come back from trading, what did you trade with the Mali merchants?

They offered me 100 pounds of gold and 50 pounds of salt, so I gave them 5,000 ducks, 2,000 geese, 10,000 tilapia, and 10 camels.

Did I hear you say 100 pounds of gold and 50 pounds of salt?!

Yes Pharoah. The salt and gold are sitting to my left and right.

[gasp]

What else happened?

The merchant that offered gold and salt also taught me about a religion called "Islam".

What is "Islam" about?

Islam is a religion that...

We shall try Islam tomorrow and see how the public likes it.

So what are we trying to get while we're in China?

The caravan leader says he wants to get paper, gunpowder, woodblock prints, compasses, and any other goods and inventions he can get his hands on.

Hey that reminds me...

Remember when we introduced bananas to the Chinese 10 years ago?

Yeah, I wonder what happened after we scattered bananas all across the town? [sigh] But it'll probably be bananas there once we return.

As you can see, we have thrived because of your generosity, and as a thank you for the bananas, I have given you gunpowder, paper, woodblock printing, boat rudders, umbrellas, silk clothing, compasses, a seismograph, oranges, Buddhism lessons and much, much more, they are all in the front of this palace.

Thank you Emperor Fu, but we have our own goods to give.

Alright then, give them to the citizens, authorities, and/or the shopkeepers please.

Yes Emperor.

Here are all ofConfucius' teachings.

Thank you my lord.

My pleasure.
