Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

I bear the sin
Shocking news came from the Roman Empire soon. The Claudius family contributed to the Roman Empire and developed Sicily. Next year, the price of food in Rome will be fully regulated, and the price of food purchased by citizens will drop by 15%. And to a certain extent, the scale of grain purchases by non-citizens will be opened.

The Roman citizens are very satisfied. After all, the reputation of the Roman Empire is still very guaranteed these days, especially for citizens’ promises, they generally dare not talk nonsense, so the Roman citizens’ favor for the ancient giants of the Claudius family has risen a bit.

As for the other elders of the Roman Senate, they also guessed that the Claudius family called a meeting of all the elders of the family that day. After the meeting, they went to the big bath to have an impart. It should be an act of collective flesh cutting. The other elders were somewhat silent about this behavior, after all. The price of food for Roman citizens has dropped by 15%. I have some idea of ​​the scale of food output.

The Claudius family is more or less pleasing to the eye, and the sourness is sour, but at least they really have the consciousness of destroying the family to relieve difficulties during the period of three hundred parents, and this kind of behavior, because of the example of the elders in the republic era, Rome It has always been regarded as a manifestation of the continuation of the Roman spirit, so the Claudius family did this, and the other elders really couldn't say anything.

"It's okay, the reputation has improved a bit." Pompianus said while clutching his forehead. Since that day, Pompianus has had a headache from time to time, but it doesn't affect his work very much.

"It is indeed better, but are you sure you want to batch more supplies to help the Han Dynasty?" Herodian looked at the internal documents issued by Pompianus again, somewhat distressed.

Herodian didn't feel much about donating his family's farm worth nearly [-] million denarii to Rome, but Herodian felt a little distressed when he lent [-] million denarii to the Han Dynasty.

"More batches, since you are helping, we will solve the problem completely." Pompianus said, clutching his forehead, "Besides, Chen Hou of the Han Dynasty did help us, and it can be regarded as a settlement of favors. Our Roman Empire, You don't owe anyone."

"That's fine." Hirodion couldn't say anything more.

They still have materials of [-] million denari, and compared to these materials, internal integration is more important at present. Sicily is only a tentative verification of the integration of national resources, and the Claudius family has already appeared. For some noise, follow-up must be done before they can continue to advance. These people are not fools, and they all understand the real situation of the Claudius family now.

After Pompianus's certificate of permission to transfer supplies was issued to Media, the pressure on Ma Chao's side suddenly eased.

After all, the situation in Midia has been messed up recently. Cao Cao’s thunderstorm has a chain reaction. It doesn’t mean that Cao Cao’s side collapsed, and there will be no reaction from other people. In fact, panic will be transmitted, but Cao Cao Panic is somewhat contained now.

In fact, after the collapse of Cao Cao's side, the high-level officials of Cao Cao's forces actually searched for Ma Chao in the first place to see if they could mobilize resources to allow them to survive the run period. Ma Chao immediately helped Cao Cao mobilize materials, but Ma Chao The scale that can be used is really limited, and it can even be said that it is a drop in the bucket, which is better than nothing.

The Cao Cao executives who contacted Ma Chao were also very embarrassed. They really didn't expect that Ma Chao, as the governor of Midia for so many years, had not conducted in-depth operations in Midia, and the materials he could call were only so small.

Ma Chao is also very helpless about this, he is the governor of Mediaya, yes, but he does not manage Mediaya, the series of events that happened that year told Ma Chao that everything without force protection is just a sand sculpture under the tide, so Ma Chao is working hard to develop his force, and this is how the Seventh Eagle Banner Corps came into being.

Conversely, all things managed by forces are nonsense, relying on the Roman Empire, you just call Ganassis directly if you want anything, and the Duke of the Eastern Border County directly provides all the resources you need.

As a result, Ma Chao, the governor of Median, had no caravan of his own in the trading city of Median, nor did he have any assets reserves of his own. The question mark on - what makes you think that I will have supplies!

So this matter was sent, and Ma Chao could only send a message to Ganassis, saying that Cao Cao was going to die, send me some supplies, and I will help Cao Cao.

Ganassis' reply was very simple. The nobles of the provinces in the east also bought tickets for Cao Cao's side, and the sugar factory was also hit by thunder. Now the problem is very big. You hurry up and clean up the soldiers and horses, and get ready to join me Go to armed blackmail Cao Cao, first blackmail our white sugar back, and then keep the local sugar cane plantations and sugar factories. The sugar production areas in our eastern provinces cannot be bombed!

Ma Chao was immediately paralyzed, what are you talking about, let me order the Seventh Eagle Banner Legion to get ready, and go to arm Tangtang with you?Blackmail Cao Cao?
This is very embarrassing. Fortunately, Ma Chao has not been in trouble for a few days. The Roman decree issued by Pompianus has been issued to the eastern provinces. The manpower has been assembled, and Ganassis, who has prepared the supplies for the army's attack, stopped immediately. Come down—the Roman Senate requested Cao Cao to transfer supplies worth 2.3 million denari, and pressed the sugar traded to the eastern provinces until next year.

Ganassis is dead, is the Senate brain-dead?
So Ganassis directly took him to the Senate to negotiate on this matter. Unlike ordinary seniors and legionaries who cannot resist orders from the top of Rome, Ganassis, as the Duke, is true. Existence that can take a table with the top floor of Rome.

Just like Li You and Jia Xu can directly order sub-top figures such as Chen Dao, Huang Zhong, and Zang Ba, but when they face Guan Zhang and Zhao Huayu, even if they make urgent decisions, they still need to conduct detailed investigations on these people. explanation, but also the possibility of being rejected.

As for Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong generally would not dismiss it, after all, there is affection, but Hua Xiong can pretend to be stupid, and Hua Xiong is really good at pretending to be stupid.

Faced with the situation where Ganassis slapped the table and roared, Pompianus explained in detail that Ganassis, as a duke, had a certain overall view and understood it, but the interests of the eastern provinces were there, even if It is this kind of interest that is full of various black channels, unknown methods, etc., but at their level, this is not a problem.

To put it simply, there are indeed problems with the tactics used by their eastern provinces, but aside from these, your Senate is not wrong to ignore our brothers in the eastern provinces in order to save outsiders?

This rhetoric is very classic, at least Pompianus cannot admit this fact. After all, as a Roman senator, even if he doesn't want to do it in his heart, he must be responsible for Rome, let alone A really responsible patriarch like Pompianus.

In the end, Ganassis took 7.5% more out of the silk, sugar, and tea from the Roman rationing system as compensation for their eastern provinces.

Of course, this is just internal compensation. After Cao Cao recovers in two years, he will have to pay what is due. Can he really pretend that nothing happened?Then Rome must not be taken advantage of.

But even so, Ganassis also knows that there will definitely be some citizens who will be dragged to death because of this incident, but this is an unavoidable thing. The rules of the game can be guaranteed, but you can’t survive the loss of money in the past two years. If the people are gone, the Roman Empire can’t do anything about it. After two years, the money will be returned, and it will be replenished to your descendants.

With the emergency call-up document issued by the Senate by Pompianus, the materials that had been blocked in the treasury in Midia were quickly mobilized. Similarly, the call-up document issued by Chen Xi in the Han Dynasty was also posted on Midea. on the wall of the Asian Trading City.

The two big countries started to recruit tacitly, and the materials in the whole of Media were quickly taken away, and the wealthy businessmen who did business in Media also returned to Rome or Chang'an. The national recruitment laws have clear regulations. For compensation, you can go back to Rome or Chang'an to get cash or supplies.

This is not a good thing for most businessmen, but they can accept it once in a while when the national government orders are issued. In addition, the country has also given compensation, so it is hard to say anything, but for some people who have a large amount of unsalable materials For businessmen, this is really handled by the state, and the state really compensates at the market price.

At the same time, the situation on Cao Cao's side is on the verge of a run-on. The effect of the gold bricks on stabilizing people's hearts has deteriorated a lot, and the materials Cao Cao has saved are no longer enough for the soldiers and people under his command to continue to exchange. , the situation is only one step away from the collapse.

Cao Cao's eyes were bloodshot. He hadn't rested for several days. Since it was clear that the materials on hand could not last for five days, Cao Cao fell into this state.

"Changwen, how long can our supplies last?" Cao Cao asked Chen Qun with eyes as red as a rabbit's.

"According to the current situation, we won't last until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." Chen Qun also lost his former refined demeanor at this time, and he looked much more embarrassed.

"Obviously, the public platform has already borrowed the supplies. As long as this half month passes, the supplies will arrive. Both Rome and the Han Dynasty have agreed to the secondment of supplies, and the shipment has already begun. Why, why?" Cao Cao's expression was a little distorted.

Obviously, according to Liu Ba's plan, the Helmand River irrigation area, as well as various workshops, and factories have all been given to the people and soldiers, and piles of gold bricks have been piled up to stabilize people's hearts. Two or three days, it will be enough, why is there not enough supplies suddenly?

Chen Qun was silent for a while, but he still didn't speak, because he had already seen the servants of their family exchange the tickets they bought for the Helmand River irrigation area at a low price from the common people. Chen Qun noticed this kind of thing. At that time, it can only be described as the great adventure of the dead.

The question is, does Chen Qun dare to say it?Do you dare to tell Cao Cao about this?He is going to die, he is really going to die, and now Cao Cao, who is stretched by a string, will really kill people.

"Changwen, why don't you dare to say it?" Cheng Yu walked in from the door holding his eight-edged sword, and as soon as Cheng Yu said this, Chen Qun felt that something was wrong.

"Zhong De." Cao Cao nodded to Cheng Yu with a bit of fatigue, "Did the people outside riot?"

"No, it's just that the time has come." Cheng Yu said with a cold expression.

"When is the timing?" Cao Cao asked wearily.

"The time has come to resolve this matter." Cheng Yu said coldly.

As soon as this remark came out, Chen Qun was immediately shocked. He is not a fool. Cheng Yu suddenly said such a sentence, and many things Chen Qun didn't understand were connected together.

"Cheng Zhongde, how dare you!" Chen Qun's voice at this moment was as shrill as a night owl.

"It's come to this point, why don't you dare!" Cheng Yu said with a bit of coldness.

"This is an aristocratic family that accompanied the lord all the way!" Chen Qun roared angrily.

"So what, they did it, right?" Cheng Yu was smiling, but that kind of smile made Chen Qun shudder, it was a smile that would destroy the family.

"You can't do this, I wait for Confucianism, how can I be punished without teaching!" Chen Qun almost seemed to expel all the air in his heart and lungs, hoarse.

"I'm not a Confucianist, nor a Legalist." Cheng Yu said indifferently, "My lord, this is the situation I recently investigated. I also ask my lord to lead the elite to punish."

Speaking of Cheng Yu handing over to Cao Cao the evidence he collected about all the aristocratic families selling low-priced tickets to the common people and soldiers, at that moment, Chen Qun even saw that Cao Cao's eyes seemed to be burning and filled with blood. That kind of vigorous anger filled the entire government office.

Chen Qun knew that everything was over. At this point in time, Cao Cao had already been pushed to the limit by Wanmin and his soldiers' actions that were infinitely close to a run, but now Cheng Yu provided him with an outlet, a very legitimate reason, and a solution. possible problem.

"Where is Dian Wei!" Cao Cao shouted loudly the moment he stood up, and Dian Wei appeared instantly.

"My lord, don't do it!" Cao Cao strode out towards the outside, Chen Qun realized that he had to stop Cao Cao, and immediately stretched out his hand to grab Cao Cao. fell to the ground.

"No, my lord!" Chen Qun held Cao Cao firmly, trying his best to persuade Cao Cao to change his mind, but it was useless, just like Chen Gong persuaded Cao Cao back then, completely ineffective.

"Changwen, let go." Cao Cao looked at Chen Qun who was tugging at his sleeve. He seemed much normal at this moment, but that ghostly smile let Chen Qun know how angry Cao Cao was.

Chen Qun shook his head. He didn't dare to let go. He knew that if he let go, Kandahar would be a bloodbath. I don't know how many families who followed Cao Cao would be wiped out. As for the reason and evidence, it was in the things Cheng Yu handed over. Very sufficient.

However, in the next moment, Chen Qun's eyes went dark, and Cheng Yu withdrew his eight-edged sword, "After sleeping and waking up, all problems will be solved, they go to die, I will bear the guilt, you don't know anything!"

　Needless to say, Cheng Yu's character and morality, and he really dared to do it
