Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 4569 saw new hope

To be honest, when they saw this scene, the three of Li Jue were stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed. The bosses are all their own people, so they are afraid of shit, and the three brothers will be the kings of the sky again in the future.

Needless to say, the military adviser, he must be covering himself, Jia Wen and Na have known each other for many years, and after all, he is also a brother from Liangzhou, so it is no problem to save face. As for Zhuge Kongming, When we were in Congling back then, he was a real brother, just one word for stability.

There's no need to panic, the three brothers came back at the right time!
"Although I know what the three of you are thinking, the timing of your return is really amazing." Li You rarely praised, "You did a good job in Congling, and you three guys don't have much to gain. Just continue to be the western gateway to the Central Plains."

Do these three brothers use the promotion to become a noble?In fact, it is not necessary. Although the titles of these three guys are not full-level, they are close to full-level. In addition, they went abroad very early, the country is sealed, and the territory is also very large. My own efforts have also succeeded. Closing the country, and counting the black history, what rewards are there!

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you can pass on the country." The three of Li Jue laughed like two idiots. The rewards are not important, the important thing is that they can pass what they have now to their heirs.

"This is not a problem. Liu Ziyang is not in Chang'an because of something. I can just write a document and keep it." Li You said flatly, let alone Liu Ye is not here, even if Liu Ye is, Li You can still get it for the three brothers. After all, it is one of the benefits of Liehou to pass on the documents of the country to his heirs.

The three of Li Jue began to applaud on the spot. The three brothers were most worried that they had struggled all their lives, but the results of their struggles could not be passed on. They also knew that they had too many dark histories. Although they could fight, some problems could be solved without fighting. of.

This is why the three of Li Jue have started to give Liu Tong gold every year in the past few years. To put it bluntly, they are pretending to be a normal lieutenant and do not want to be pulled from the list.

"Okay, let me tell you in detail how these horses came here." Li You greeted the three of them. As for Yong Kai, he was drinking tea and watching the excitement after he came here. It should be classified as people who eat melons.

Li Jue and the others described in detail how they got the war horse from Tachito, and Li Jue nodded. The success of this matter explained a lot of problems.

"Help find Dr. Mi." Li You directed Xun Yun to find Mi Zhu.

After all, Sansha couldn't understand the transaction, and Li You could tell at a glance that Tacito's group wanted to change, but they couldn't speak easily, and then half-pushed and half-leaved, leaving the blame to Li Jue and the others.

Li You said that he would not reject this kind of transaction at all, but since the Romans like this kind of transaction, no problem, our Han Dynasty needs this kind of top stallion, we can re-sign the scope of the trade, to be honest Li You really did it before I thought Rome didn't produce war horses.

Because the main force of Rome is basically heavy infantry, and the cavalry is small. Although there are reasons for the terrain of the two rivers, the performance of the Roman Legion always seems to imply to the Han Dynasty that they do not have good horses.

As a result, now that Rome made a move, the Han Dynasty was shocked. It’s not that Rome doesn’t have good horses, but it’s just that they don’t like to use cavalry very much. In this case, we can expand the scale of the transaction. We like this horse very much, and we still have some silk.

Trade balance is good for everyone, and the Romans used to rely on jade, olive oil, and dried fruits to balance trade with the Han Dynasty. However, silk, sugar, porcelain, and tea were all commodities in the Han Dynasty. The Romans trade balance is somewhat difficult.

Now that there are good horses in Rome, what else is there to say? Compared with small-scale private smuggling, it is of course more in the interests of the country to sign a trade agreement between countries. In Li You's opinion, such high-quality stallions are It is necessary to sign a supplementary agreement with Rome.

Mi Zhu knew what Li You wanted to do after seeing those horses and knowing that these horses came from Rome and were not prohibited goods. Cross-border trade with Rome itself is one of the most important businesses in the Han Dynasty at present. Possesses the sensitivity in this aspect, so when Li You came here, Mi Zhu had already made preparations before Li You opened his mouth.

In fact, after the unlucky child of Tacito was carried back to Rome by his camp commander, as Kuai Yue estimated, he did not encounter the education of Pompianus. In fact, Pompianus himself I don't want to form such a legion, because this cavalry is too good to eat, but it can eat five times the food and grass of the same level, and it can't beat five times the elite of the same level.

In terms of input-output ratio, the Ninth Spanish Legion belongs to the one that needs to be pulled from the list. In fact, Pompianus prefers the Tenth Knight and the No.11 Loyal Claudius Legion, because these two legions The material demand is very small, and the input-output ratio is extremely high.

Therefore, when he heard that Tacito had sold his war horse, Pompianus first showed anger on the face, but actually clapped his hands better inwardly, so that he would not need to allocate six times as many troops to the Ninth Spanish Legion in the future. The maintenance fee is reduced, and the food and grass can be reduced. Long live.

Then Tachito began to publicly bribe Severus and Caesar, and boxes of tribute-grade silk were stuffed into the hands of Severus and Caesar, and both of them happily accepted it. As for saying that it was bought by war horses, for Severus didn't care.

After all, it is not a time of war, and what Li Jue is doing is also a sand sculpture transaction model. Although Tachito has repeatedly complained that he was drunk by Li Jue, and then made the transaction, but this is what he said. With the dozens of boxes of tributes and thousands of bolts of top-quality silk, Severus didn't care about Tacito's behavior.

Isn't it normal that the Romans couldn't walk when they encountered top-quality silk?

As for the trade with war horses, it’s fine as long as the business doesn’t lose money. Let me warn you, it’s not an example. Forget it this time. You can’t accept Tacito’s tribute and go back and beat Tacito again, but Severus also A new task has been arranged for Tachito. Since you have sold the horse, if you want a new war horse, you can go to Spain to catch it yourself.

Tachito has no dissatisfaction with this. Besides, Spain is still a tax-free area of ​​its own legion. After all, there is the Ninth Spain first, and then the Spanish area.

Pompianus strongly opposed it, saying that since the war horse had been sold, it meant that the Andalusian horse was not suitable for Ninth Spain, and suggested returning to the Arabian horse used before.

Of course, Tacito pretended not to hear this, and stuffed a box of tributes for Pompianus. After Pompianus received it, he still said that Arabian horses are the most cost-effective war horses. Tacito did not answer. , Head to Spain by boat, ready to change the horse breed.

After all, the Andalusian horse is only the most cost-effective war horse among the top horse breeds, not the war horse with the highest combat effectiveness, explosive power, durability, and muscle strength. Although for any species, the higher these attributes, the more food the better. , but Tachito bought an analysis report from Herodian for a roll of tribute silk.

According to the report, Pompianus saw a new trade plan from this transaction, and Tacito could take advantage of the chaos and say that he discovered it, and then take advantage of it, such as upgrading his Andalusian horses. For Frisian horses.

Because this horse is bigger, stronger, more explosive, and more durable. Apart from eating more than Andalusian horses, it is perfect. Of course, the cost performance is lower than that of Andalusian horses. Eat down the level of middle-class families.

In short, after this transaction, the Romans discovered a new trade method, and the Han Dynasty discovered that Rome actually had top-level horses that the Central Plains did not have, and the other party did not castrate them, so they could be used as stallions when they were sent over.

So both sides are happy to prepare for a new way of trade.

However, Rome has been very low-key recently, because Severus' new mentally handicapped operation has made Pompianus want to die, and the budget may enter a deficit state. When he is sure that he cannot live longer than Severus However, the financial officer could only use a new plan to curb Severus' mysterious operation, so he focused on the Suez Canal.

It is very difficult to make money these days, and Severus's method of spending money is really speechless, so Pompianus needs an industry that can continue to bring in money, and it is stable. When working in this industry, Severus can be tricked into paying and then earn interest.

After looking around, the financial officer decided to dig and dredge the Suez Canal, open the passage from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, and strengthen maritime trade. As for who will pay for the construction of this thing, Pompianus has already figured it out, of course it is Seville Lu.

Even the words have been thought out—Your Majesty, I have a big business, which can increase the salary of soldiers every year, and I am not interested in other investments in Severus, but this kind of business can increase the salary of soldiers every year, Severus Definitely interested.

After all, Severus can send money to the soldiers from the private treasury after the treasury has no money. As the emperor, I will pay this part of the salary first. I need this money to just eat.

This is also one of the reasons why Severus is supported by soldiers. Therefore, Pompinanus's rhetoric can definitely fool Severus into investing. There is no money to raise wages.

As for raising wages every year in the future, that is of course true. What about the profits of the Suez Canal? As long as the European sea trade does not stop, the profits will be endless. It will become more and more frequent, the profit of the Suez Canal will increase year by year, and the number of draws will increase every year, and the salary increase will not be fake.

　The name of the Suez Canal comes from a pharaoh in ancient Egypt, because it was the canal from the Nile River to the Red Sea he built first, but it was basically filled when it arrived in Rome...
