Will Afghan immigrants go to work in Iran?

In the southwest of Afghanistan, there is a city called Zaranji, which is located at the junction of Iran and Afghanistan. Most of the residents are Baluchi and Tajik, and the protagonist Yergubai was born in the village of Karnin in the east of Zaranji. Yergubai was the founder of the Safar dynasty, which ruled most of Iran and Afghanistan in its heyday.

Yergober was born in 840 AD. His father is a coppersmith in Kaning village. The poor Persian coppersmith raised four sons, one of whom was Yergubai.

After Yergubai established the Safavid Dynasty, he claimed that his ancestors were the royal family of Sassanian Empire, but this statement was not accepted by historians. They believed that Yergubai was only the son of a coppersmith, and his first job was also a coppersmith. It is for this reason that the dynasty established by Yerba Cooper is called Safar Dynasty, because "Safar" means "coppersmith" in Persian.

When Yeli Cooper grew up, he left the countryside with his fellow villagers and three brothers and went to the nearby city of Zalangi for development. After arriving in Zalanji City, Yeli Gubaizi followed in his father's footsteps and became a coppersmith, while his brothers were also engaged in humble work, some were carpenters and some were grooms driving mule carts.

During Yel Cooper's work in the coppersmith's shop, he could get fifteen dirhams a day. Ye Erbai is very generous. He often helps fellow villagers who grew up together with his meager salary. Even if he can only eat bread and onions every day, he will give his salary to his fellow villagers. Ye Erbai's behavior won everyone's love.

However, the boring life in the coppersmith's shop is not what Yerba Cooper wants. He soon found another way out with his fellow villagers. With strong physique, young Yerba Cooper successfully joined a military organization composed of outlaws, and was called "aiyar" by Iranians.

As early as before the fall of Sassanian Empire, "aiyar" had appeared all over Iran, and aiyar had the meaning of robber and gangster in Persian. They robbed past businessmen and wealthy residents in the name of robbing the rich to help the poor. Whenever a region is in war, aiyar members can always be seen.

During his time as aiyar, Yerba Cooper and his companions used swords to get money. The unsmiling Yerba Cooper soon became a well-known gangster in Sistan (southeast Iran), and the locals heard several bloody stories about them. However, Ye Erbai, like other members of aiyar, also played the role of robbing the rich and helping the poor. He often helps the poor with stolen wealth, which greatly increases his reputation.

Around 860 AD, Yel Cooper began to help Governor Sistan suppress the rebellion. Yeli Cooper, who is brave and good at fighting, has made a lot of contributions to the governor, and he has also changed from a robber to a general under the governor.

However, the ambitious Ye Liguo Cooper is unwilling to give in to others. At the age of 24, he led the army to defeat the governor of Sistan. Only three years after the end of this incident, Yeligubai, who had occupied the whole territory of Sistan, announced the establishment of the Safar Dynasty, and Yeligubai, who claimed to be the Emir (king), began to expand the territory of the kingdom.

From 867 to 870, Yeli Cooper conquered the land of eastern Iran and Afghanistan, and then led the army westward. After seizing cities such as Nachapur and Shiraz, Yel 'Gubai perished the Tahir dynasty, and most of Iran's land was also occupied by Yel 'Gubai.

After becoming the ruler of Iran and Afghanistan, Yerba Cooper still maintained a simple lifestyle. Although there is a lot of wealth in his treasury, he never squanders it. He lives with soldiers, who are loyal to him.

It is said that in the treasury of Yerba Cooper, he has 4 million dinars and 50 million dirhams, as well as 5,000 camels and 10000 donkeys, but he still leads an ascetic life after becoming king. Many historians claim that Yerba never married, so he had no children. He is an unpretentious soldier, wearing cotton clothes, rarely using carpets, and even using a shield as a pillow when sleeping.

In 876 AD, Yeli Cooper continued to lead the army westward. He wanted to attack Baghdad, the capital of Abbasid dynasty, but at the gates of Baghdad, Yeli Cooper failed. This failure was a great blow to Yale Cooper, who died of illness two years after the war at the age of 39.

After the death of Yerba Cooper, his younger brother Amur succeeded to the throne, but the death of Yerba Cooper also led to the decline of Safar dynasty. His successor failed to protect the territory laid by Yerba Cooper, and Iran's land was quickly annexed by the rising shamanism dynasty, leaving only the land of Sistan. By AD 1002, Sistan was occupied by the Gasseini dynasty, and the Safar dynasty was declared dead.
