Chapter 858 Talking About Business
Slave catcher?For the Romans, it was a long-established business, and it can even be said that the glory of Rome was based on the development of slavery.

A native population is only 200 million, but the number of slaves is as high as 3000 million. Can anyone believe it?But such a country refers to Rome in a certain period.

Rome now has the right to rule the coastal areas around the Mediterranean Sea, and also controls the entire Western Europe. It is not that there are no other countries or nations around them. For example, a barbarian (Germanic) came to Central Europe, and a large number of Goths also poured in from Southern Europe. On the other side of Africa, if you simply go deeper, you can catch those black sorghums that have still passed the Stone Age.

"Germans, Goths, and Nordics?" Wang Meng was a little puzzled and asked without understanding the situation: "There are also Egyptians who tend to be fair-skinned?"

Julian and Flavis teamed up to find Wang Meng, and asked directly what they thought of the above-mentioned race without any prelude.

What a ghost!
The Han people have seen Germans. The Franks, Burgundians, and Alemanni who were sent to the Han Kingdom were all Germans. They were all white-skinned. The difference lies in the level of civilization and the difference in clothing.

"That is to say..." Wang Meng came back to his senses, and roughly understood the purpose of the two of them: "Do you want to know if the big man has any intention to buy slaves with white skin?"

Julian and Flavis nodded at the same moment.

"Perhaps..." Wang Meng knew one thing. The emperor in his family would definitely be interested. It was due to a reason he couldn't guess: "Interested?"

Julian and Flavis, who got the answer, were obviously relieved, and subconsciously thought it was a little funny. They all knew that the Han people would not spare people of the black-skinned race who were covered in pitch black. The skin is ethnic.

"The Germanic people are relatively rigid in facial features, and their men are generally strong, and they are very good manual laborers." Flavis's description is correct. In the early stage of doing business, a relationship of integrity is needed, and then he continued : "Germanic women can't be called good-looking. They also have a slightly rigid appearance, but they can also do what men can do, especially the extra function of fertility."

Wang Meng was very calm on the surface, but he almost spit out the tea that was in his mouth just now.He thought it was a good use of the word "function" after birth!

"Nordics are a race of people who live in a world of ice and snow for a long time." Flavis continued to sell, and after describing what kind of place it was in the Nordics, he began to introduce the race: "Their environment is too harsh, and they are physically weak. Those who are weak cannot last another summer, and those who can survive are the strong ones..."

There are a lot of balabaras. What Flavis wants to express is that the Nordics are far more resistant than the Germans, and they don’t have too many requirements for food. They are a very good labor force.

"About Nordic women, they are famous for their delicate skin among white-skinned races." Flavis showed an expression that men can understand: "Especially the very 'breast' and 'big butt', definitely The stunner among the stunners!"

Wang Meng imagined it in his mind for a while, and had to admit that he had longing, so he calmed down and asked, "Where are the Goths?"

how to say?The current Goths are a general term, just like the Qiang people in Zhuxia, not only referring to race (appearance), but actually a group with similar living habits.

Whether the Han people knew about the existence of the Goths, the news was revealed by the Persians.

Goths, Alans, Heruers, Miaots, Yancai... and nearly [-] ethnic groups are known as the most unlucky ethnic groups because of the Huns who were beaten by the Han people. Going westward, I encountered the above-mentioned ethnic groups.

The Xiongnu who marched westward caught one on the way and killed one. The smaller ethnic groups disappeared directly in the long river of history, and the ethnic groups that resisted the beating fled in all directions, composing one sad story after another for the weak and small nations in the history of the forest of nations in the world. story.

"I don't know what happened thousands of miles north of Sasanian. The Goths are fleeing to Rome." Julian obviously didn't finish speaking. He paused and took a sip of his tea before continuing. He continued: "Later we learned that a tribe called the Huns was on the rise. They were migrating westward, destroying and annexing many tribes along the way. The Goths couldn't beat the Huns, so they had to seek refuge in Rome."

"Northern Huns." Wang Meng corrected Julian's wording, but he didn't know that Northern Huns were called Huns in Europe: "Hundreds of years ago, the Huns were the enemy of our ancestors. Our ancestors fought against them for nearly 250 years. In [-], the Xiongnu were split behind, and the Northern Huns were migrating to the west.”

This was the first time Julian and Flavis knew about this matter, and they couldn't digest it in a short time, and the conversation between them came to a standstill.

Of course, the Northern Huns, who are migrating westward, are not at their most ferocious yet.It wasn't long before they met the Goths, and they even encountered setbacks for the first time on the way westward. The result of the first end was that the Goths successfully blocked the westward advance of the Northern Huns, but they defeated the Northern Huns. After that, the Goths themselves were caught in endless wars between tribes.

The Goths were in a civil war, and the Slavs were also entering a state of barbarian rise. The first batch of Goths who fled to Rome were the losers in the civil war, and there were also bankrupts who were forced to die by the Slavs.

The Slavs, who are also in a rising posture, are now catching the Sarmats (Sermatians, one of the ancestors of the Iranians according to legend), and beating the Goths in the civil strife is purely incidental.

On the other hand, the Slavs tried to expand to Eastern and Northern Europe. Eastern Europe encountered the Germans and was beaten to the ground and chose to give up going east. Northern Europe encountered the Sami and was also pressed to the ground.

The name of the Slavic nation is the name given by the Romans to the barbarians in the far east. In fact, those tribes have their own names and do not recognize each other as their own tribe. Furthermore, they have not formed a unity and are divided into several alliance tribes, each of which does not belong to the same tribe. But he didn't beat him to death.

"If you can capture the Northern Huns, the big man is willing to pay a big price to buy it." Wang Meng is a Han. Since he is a Han, he must hate the Northern Huns. This is an eternal political correctness. He emphasized: "It is a real big price. !"

Who has trouble with money?Of course Julian and Flavis agreed.

For the three of them, this conversation was very pleasant. Julian and Flavis had a direction to make a fortune, and they also agreed that this conversation would definitely have an unparalleled impact on Rome.

"The country turns a blind eye to the rise of the surrounding barbarians, and even indulges them because of interest disputes. Sooner or later, our children and grandchildren will pay the price for our generation's indulgence of the barbarians!" Julian, who was still gnashing his teeth in worry before, remembered the result of the conversation and smiled: "This It’s settled, capturing those barbarians and selling them to the Serisians can not only gain benefits, but also relieve future troubles for future generations.”
