Chapter 438 The Lost Businessman Pulius
Chapter 438 The Lost Businessman Pulius
That night, the whole palace was brightly lit. Originally, this banquet was to celebrate the wedding of two couples, but now the situation has changed again.

Chang Yuchun's return from the Western Regions turned this double happiness into a triple happiness!
"Brother Boren, I haven't seen you for almost a year. If you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" Cheng Yaojin walked over to Chang Yuchun with a wine jar in his arms, and then sat down.

As soon as the words fell, Li Cunxiao and Xue Rengui also walked to Chang Yuchun's side with smiles on their faces. Looking at the posture, the three of them had already discussed everything.

"These... three brothers, I don't know what the younger brother did wrong?" Chang Yuchun said with an innocent face.

"Hey, Boren is dishonest. With the beauties from the Western Regions, forget about our brothers?" As soon as Li Cunxiao said this, Chang Yuchun instantly understood the reason.

"I haven't said anything about this matter. Brother Cunxiao is a great general, and the battle reports from the Western Regions are naturally clear." Seeing Chang Yuchun's eyes asking for help, Meng Chen hastily explained.

The main purpose of Chang Yuchun's trip to the Western Regions this time is to fight the Western Expedition. After all, the Western Expedition is not a child's play. Once the army is deployed, the logistics supplies must be guaranteed.

As the pedal of the Western Expedition, the destroyed Guishuang Empire is obviously a good bridgehead.

Meng Chen originally thought this way, but thanks to Meng Chen arranging Chang Yuchun to go to the Western Regions this time, otherwise the Western Expedition will definitely suffer a big loss in the future.

Hearing Meng Chen's words, Chang Yuchun knew that she couldn't hide her point, so she simply pretended to be confused, and started drinking with the three men who had malicious intentions.

Seeing Chang Yuchun's attitude, Li Cunxiao didn't ask any more questions, so the four of them hugged the wine jar and started a fierce fight.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, there were bursts of explosions outside the hall. Although the fireworks had been set off more than once, Meng Chen still led a group of ministers out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, the chamber of commerce has picked up a businessman from Rome." Just as Meng Chen was concentrating on watching the fireworks, Shen Wansan cautiously approached and whispered something.

Meng Chen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and then asked in a low voice: "Have you confirmed your identity?"

Shen Wansan nodded. Although the Penguin Chamber of Commerce is not Anbu, it can still get some information through exchanges with businessmen from other countries.

"Tomorrow morning, bring it." Meng Chen whispered.

What is the specific situation in Rome now, Mengchen has no idea at all, so he hopes to get some news from a Roman.

The next day's court meeting, except for the official documents that need to be dealt with urgently by the ministers performing their duties, is basically idle and painful.

The foundation of the Great Xia Empire was deep, at least the people would not be hungry, and after Mengchen became the throne, although he was not exempted from taxes, he encountered many miscellaneous tax systems.

In addition to stimulating the development of agriculture, the New Deal definitely opened the door to the development of commerce.

Since ancient times, they have been scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants ranked last, but Mengchen has raised the status of merchants to a new high in history.

Seeing that everyone had finished reporting, Meng Chen winked at Shen Wansan.

Immediately, Shen Wansan came out and said, "Your Majesty, the Roman merchant Pulius is seeking an audience outside the hall."

When Shen Wansan reported to Meng Chen, Pulius, who had been waiting outside for a long time, still couldn't recover from the shock at this moment.

Although the architectural style of the Great Xia Empire is different from that of Rome, the palace style here is probably even worse than that of the Roman Senate!

The various carvings in front of us are lifelike, especially those dragon head totems, each of which can be called a work of art.

Just when Pulius was distracted, a soldier of the Meng family walked up to him quickly, and waved to him, motioning for Pulius to follow him into the hall.

Although Pulius knows a little Chinese, there are still some language barriers in in-depth communication!

Following behind the Meng family sergeant, Pulius curiously looked at the equipment on the soldier in front of him.

Just now Pulius was shocked by the buildings of the Great Xia Palace, but now he was shocked by the equipment of the soldiers.

It is no exaggeration to say that the generals of the Praetorian Guard in Rome may not have the full armor of the soldier in front of him.

Entering the main hall, Pulius's eyes lit up immediately. Not to mention the courtiers lined up neatly on both sides, the dragon pattern carvings on every pillar in the main hall are enough for Pulius to admire for a lifetime.

"Your Majesty, we're here!" The Meng family sergeant bowed and saluted, and then slowly retreated away.

And Pulius was like a curious kitten, his eyes swept over the ministers, and when he saw Shen Wansan in official uniform, he immediately showed a bright smile.

Faced with such a situation, Shen Wansan gave Pulius a look.

Then, Pulius hurriedly saluted Meng Chen who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Plius, the Roman merchant, pays homage to Emperor Daxia."

Meng Chen was a little amused by the awkward Chinese. Although the pronunciation was still inaccurate, Meng Chen understood it.

"Excuse me! Are you from Rome? Or another province?" Meng Chen asked.

Pulius was a little dazed when he heard the words, apparently understanding the meaning of Mengchen's words, and after a while, Pulius said excitedly: "Growing up in Rome, the emperor knows the Roman system?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Wansan's expression changed drastically, without Meng Chen uttering a word, he immediately reminded: "Call Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Mengchen smiled and waved his hands and said: "Those who don't know are innocent! Besides, the systems of Rome and Bactria are completely different. Rome is governed by the Senate, and the nobles own slaves, while Bactria is centralized and does not allow a large number of slaves." exist."

At this moment, Pulius's eyes lit up, never expecting that Emperor Di Rome of Great Xia knew so much about the situation.

"I'm very sorry Your Majesty, language barriers will hinder communication." Pulius said generously, but Mengchen didn't care about it.

"Do you have a gladiator in your hand?" Meng Chen asked again with a smile.

For a Roman merchant, selling hard work and gladiators was their calling.

It's a pity that Mengchen is doomed to be disappointed. The reason why Pulius came to Daxia is because he was rescued by the Penguin Chamber of Commerce by mistake.

Pulius shook his head and said: "I met a robber and was penniless. Fortunately, I met the caravan who met Daxia, and then came to Daxia."

"Hahaha!"

Now the ministers couldn't help it anymore. They thought it was an envoy sent by Rome, but after a long time of trouble, it turned out to be a down-and-out businessman.

Meng Chen smiled and said: "Anyway, you are a guest from afar. Wansan, treat your Roman friends from afar well."

"Here!"
